Alex didn't do anything but look out the window on the ride back to
John's apartment, nor did she say anything when they rode the elevator up
to the third floor his Apartment was on. When they walked into the
apartment, Alex b-lined for the bathroom and locked the door behind her.
Alex turned on the shower, sat down on the bathroom floor, and cried. John
desperately wanted to walk into the bathroom and hold her. But he decided
against it. John walked around the apartment and shut his curtains. He
then knocked on the bathroom door.
"Alex?" he said through the door. She didn't answer, "Alex, are you alright?"
"Yea." She mumbled.
"I'm going back to the station for a while. I'll try and be back by midnight." Said John, "I closed the curtains, so no one can see in."
"It doesn't matter." Sighed Alex.
"Alex?" A few seconds later, Alex opened the door, looking down at the ground. John lifted Alex's chin with his fingers and looked into her sad eyes.
"I swear to you, I will not let you live the rest of your life in fear of this guy."
"Right." Sighed Alex as she looked into his eyes. Both were caught there for a moment. Alex looked into John's eyes for some shred of truth to what he was saying, but after all that had happened, she didn't think they would ever catch him. John looked into Alex's eyes in hopes of seeing the tough ADA that he was falling for smile again.
"I promise you. I'll try and be home by midnight." Said John as he kissed her forehead. Alex looked on as he walked out the door. She walked away from the bathroom to make sure the door was completely locked. Once sure, she walked back into the bathroom.
Meanwhile down at the station, Curtis, Stabler, Celia, Fin and Benson were discussing what little facts they had about the case while they ate their dinner.
"So we have two sets of video tape from the front of the building." Said Curtis, "And matching fibers from two different scenes."
"And DNA." Said Benson, "But whose is the question."
"We're waiting on the tapes from the DA's office with everything that happened in Alex's office." Said Stabler. Just then, a man walked into the squad room with a young girl in front of him.
"Is Det. Celia Garcia here?" the Man asked. Celia stood up from sitting on Fin's desk.
"I am She." Announce Celia, "Can I help you?" Just then Celia recognized the girl, "Hey, you didn't have to come until tomorrow?"
"My dad saw me on the news at that apartment complex." Said the girl.
"When I asked, Samantha, about it, she told me what happened. I brought her down here right away. No sense in waiting until tomorrow." Said Samantha's father, "I called the number on the card you gave her, and your boss told me you were down here."
"Thank you, Mr.."
"Fontel."
"Thank you Mr. Fontel." Said Celia, "Samantha, come with me. You're going to see the coolest machine ever."
"Really."
"Yea." Said Celia, "Mr. Fontel, do you have a cell that she can call you on when we're finished? This might take awhile, and there's no sense in your waiting either."
"Yea. Call me when you're finished Samantha." Replied her father.
"Come on, we're going to eat some pizza and figure out just who you saw." Said Celia. As she walked by Fin's desk she grabbed a box of pizza, taking it with her. She nodded to Curtis to come with her. With that the three of them walked into the room with the PIMS machine.
As they worked on a photo in the PIMS room, Munch walked into the squad room with the lab reports from Alex's office.
"I got the tapes and I got the lab results." Munch announced, "and guess what?"
"There were fibers at the scene and they match the other fibers we have?" Benson answered with sarcasm that equaled Munch's.
"You are correct. Elliot, tell her what's she's won." Replied Munch.
"What is a whole heap of crap if we don't have a name." Said Stabler.
"Well, let's just hope that Celia can find something in PIMS." Said Fin.
About a half an hour had gone by and Celia was going through several pictures of possible suspects on the machine.
"That's a pretty ring on your finger." Samantha said, "Are you getting married soon?"
"I've been getting married soon for 8 years." Said Celia.
"Eight Years?" said Curtis with obvious shock, "I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to marry you."
"Ha ha." Celia replied dryly, "I'll have you know, Rey, that you've already met my fiancé."
"Really?"
"Look out the window." Said Celia, Rey and Samantha looked out the window, "Fin is my fiancé."
"No kidding." He replied, "You're perfect for each other."
"I know." She smiled, "Are you married?"
"Yep, married and I have three kids." Smiled Rey.
"How sweet." Smiled Celia, "Maybe one day I'll have kids. Who knows."
"Which one is Fin?" Samantha asked.
"The one cleaning off his desk." Laughed Celia.
"The Black guy?"
"Yep, he's my dream boat." Smiled Celia.
"Him." Said Samantha.
"Him who?" Rey asked.
"That's him on the screen." Said Samantha. Curtis and Celia turned their attention to the PIMS monitor.
"This was so much faster than a sketch artist." Said Celia, "Samantha, you're a life saver." She printed off the picture and made copies, then she opened the door and stood there with a smile on her face.
"What you got, baby?" Fin asked. Celia held up a picture.
"We need to have a talk with Kurt Nomed. Did time at county for grand theft auto, lives with his mother in SoHo." Smirked Celia.
"Munch, let's go interrupt dinner." Said Fin.
"Rey let's check out the video's and see if this face, matches up with any on the tapes."
"I'm going to check in with Van Buren, I'll meet you in the incident room." Said Rey.
"Alright." Replied Celia, "Fin be careful."
"I will, Baby." Replied Fin as he and Munch walked out of the squad room.
"Come on, Samantha, let's go call your dad."
"Do I have too? Can't I stay and watch you book him." Samantha smiled.
"Sorry, sweetie, I can't let you." Said Celia, "You're grounded aren't you?"
"Yea, for like the next millennium."
"Don't worry, they'll forget about it." smiled Celia.
Meanwhile, across town Fin and Munch were knocking on the door of the Nomed residents. An elderly lady, supporting herself by a walker, answered the door.
"Mrs. Nomed?" Munch asked as he and Fin showed her their Badges.
"Yes."
"We need to speak with your son, Kurt."
"Oh do come in," she said as she moved away from the door, "Have a seat."
"Kurt isn't home at the moment, but I expect him any time now."
"Where is Kurt working these days?" asked Fin.
"He works for a construction company now. Building houses, I believe." She stated.
"What time does he usually get home from work?" Munch asked.
"Always before 6pm. He's all I have left. When my other son when to jail, last year, I didn't have anyone to help me. It was a miracle that Kurt was able to come home." Mrs. Nomed rattled on.
"You said your other son is in Jail?" asked Fin
"Yes."
"What for?" Munch asked
"The Police claimed that he attack a couple of women and killed them. But, Roger was such a sweet boy. I know he didn't do those things." She said. Fin and Munch looked at each other with the same thought in their heads, Revenge.
"Alex?" he said through the door. She didn't answer, "Alex, are you alright?"
"Yea." She mumbled.
"I'm going back to the station for a while. I'll try and be back by midnight." Said John, "I closed the curtains, so no one can see in."
