Chapter 3
When John woke up the next morning, he forgot for a moment where he was, until he felt Fin move next to him. He half figured reality would come crashing down on them, but it hadn't. John looked down at Fin and smiled. When they had finally dozed off the night before, he had been wrapped around Fin as if he were a life line. This morning Fin was wrapped around him. John smiled again, when Fin kissed his chest.
"Morning'." Fin mumbled against John's neck.
"Good morning, sunshine." John responded.
"It's too early for talking." Fin mumbled again.
"Yeah, well, I can't help it if I'm a morning person." John retorted. Fin laughed quietly.
"Yeah a morning person. Morning person when morning starts at noon." Fin tossed back.
"I will have you know, I'm never grouchy and I'm always cheery first thing in the morning." Fin looked up at him like 'you-must-be joking-coz-that's-the biggest-lie-I've-ever-heard'.
"My ass! You can be worse than me when you don't get your coffee."
"Your ass? No, your ass is mine now, not yours." John quipped with a sly grin. Fin groaned and rolled his eyes at John.
"Yeah well, your bony ass is mine, too. Come on. I want to get a shower before we have to make a mad dash to work."
They took separate showers, knowing that if they took one together, they would never make it to work on time. While Fin was in the shower, John rattled around the kitchen for coffee. Fin came in a few minutes later for a cup, in nothing but a towel. John almost dropped his cup.
"I hope that you aren't trying to end up back in bed, Oda, because if you don't get dressed soon, that's where we're going to end up." John said, his eyes wide, and mouth hanging open slightly.
"That could be my intention." Fin answered with an evil look and walked back to his room.
Some how Fin and John managed to get to work on time. Olivia and Elliot were there already. They were concerned about John and Fin because of their cold attitudes the day before. When they walked in together, they were back their normal bantering. Olivia smiled ad looked at Elliot. He nodded as if he knew everything was going to be fine between the other detectives. He smiled back at Olivia. John and Fin were back to normal, well as normal as the two could be.
"Yes, but there are more conspiracies in the world than most believe. JFK's assassination and UFO's aren't the only things……." Fin rolled his eyes at Olivia and Elliot as John continued his rant.
"OK, John. We get the point." Fin interrupted.
"No you don't. You just want to shut me up." John answered with a slight pout.
"Worked didn't it?" Fin quipped with a grin. All he got was a mumbled reply that vaguely sounded like Greek, and a grin.
The day went smoothly for the rest of the morning. So smoothly that they had nothing to do. Elliot started throwing paper balls at Olivia, John, and Fin. John got tired of it and pulled out his nerf football. He pegged Elliot hard in the chest with it, and Elliot quit throwing paper balls. Instead they started playing catch with the football. Around one, Cragen came out of his office with a sad and depressed expression.
"Guys, we have a case. This one is going to take all of you." Cragen said when he had every ones attention. "It's a family out in Grammercy Park. Apparently it was murder but there are sexual overtones." The Captain explained.
"How many family members?" Elliot asked with a haunted look in his eyes.
"A man, his wife, an 17 year old girl, a 16 year old boy, a 13 year old girl and a 10 year old boy." Cragen answered. Olivia gasped. Elliot looked sick. Fin and John paled. "Go get the evidence so we can put this sick fuck behind bars." He ordered. All four detectives grabbed their coats and headed out.
When they arrived at the scene, ME Warner was waiting for them, as well as CSU.
"What's the story?" Fin asked Warner.
"Well it looks like they were all killed by a gunshot wound to the chest except the father. His was a shot to the head. They all appear to have been raped, except the father. The mother is in the living room, the 17 year old girl is on the stairs, the 16 year old boy is in the first room, at the top of the stairs, the 13 year old girl is in the next room, the 10 year old boy is in the third room and the father is in the last room." Warner answered. She was pale, and looked nauseous. John put a hand on her shoulder and Warner nodded to him in thanks. The detectives went in and CSU followed to collect the evidence. It was gathered quickly because the house gave everyone the creeps. Olivia and Elliot went outside to talk to the neighbors.
"It feels like their ghosts are watching us. Like they are waiting for us to screw this up or get justice, one or the other." Olivia commented to Elliot as walked next door.
"I know what you mean. I know the heat was on in the house because I felt it come out of the vent, but every room was absolutely frigid." Elliot answered.
Fin and John called Cragen to fill him in. Elliot and Olivia came back to talk to Fin and John, all of which were outside.
"Did you find out anything from the neighbors?" John asked as the approached.
"No. They said they didn't hear or see anything, or they weren't in the neighborhood at the time of the attack. They said that they were a happy family. They also said that they didn't make the call to 911." Elliot answered.
"Well let's get out of here. Warner already left with the bodies and CSU just wrapped up the house. All we can do now is wait for what Warner finds." Fin said.
They returned to the precinct and started the paper work. Warner wouldn't have all the preliminary data until the next day. It was around 10 when everyone finally went home. John and Fin went home to their respective apartments. Despite their new found relationship, neither was in the mood for company. The next morning every one was in at 6. None of them got much sleep the night before. Warner called at 9 that morning.
"Well first of all, I found semen in the 5 victims that were raped. I ran the DNA against the database and it didn't turn up anything. Since the father committed suicide, I ran the DNA from the semen against his. It was a match. I also found a sexual stimulant when I ran a tox screen. It's Viagra. I also found a hallucinogen in the fathers system."
"So you're telling us the father takes Viagra and some other drug and then goes nuts and rapes and kills his wife, daughters and sons, then comes out of it and kills himself?" John asked skeptically.
"Basically that's what it is, except for the fact that the father had bruising on the back of his neck, the form of a gun barrel." Warner said.
"So he was forced?" Fin asked.
"From what I can tell someone held a gun to this mans head and forced him to take these drugs, then sat back and watched while the man went crazy." Warner stated and then sighed.
"Great. So basically we have nothing." Cragen grumbled. Olivia and Elliot sighed and headed back to their desks. Fin and John followed suit.
