I am sooooooooooooooooo sorry that this "update" is so incredibly late, I
had the most unbearable writer's block I have ever experienced! Plus
between school, and sports and all it was hard for me to find time to
write. I am very greatful for all of the reviews I have received and
constructive criticism is very helpful. I hope you all enjoy my newest
chapter!
Chapter 3:
Elliot's alarm went off at 6:30 the next morning, and surprisingly enough he had no problem getting out of bed. He felt full of energy and enthusiasm after last night. Even Munch had a comment when he walked through the station doors. It was obvious that Munch and Fin he no life outside of the squadroom because they were always the first ones to arrive. Olivia was already there, and it looked like she was glowing when Elliot walked in.
"Well, well" said Munch, "I guess you had a good nights sleep huh?" raising his eyebrows mischieviously.
"Now why on Earth would you think that?" Questioned Elliot sarcastically.
"Probably because you don't look like you want to kill anyone today, and because those huge bags under your eyes have decreased drastically." Fin chimed in.
"Oh what, Elliot can't have a good nights sleep anymore without being suspicious?" Olivia teased, nobody had seen her act like this before. She made eye contact with Elliot and smiled from ear to ear.
All the happiness seemed to drain out of the room when Captain Cragen walked in.
"We got a new case. Young woman by the name of Janine Walters found murdered on, get this, the ferris wheel at a carnival in Chelsea."
"A ferris wheel?" All four detectives said together.
"Yes" said Cragen, "Now what are you two still doing here?" He eyed his two best detectives.
"We're on it." Answered Stabler.
On the way to the scene- Olivia POV
Whew! That was a close one back in the squadroom. I could have sworn Munch was looking at me with those "I know what you're up to" eyes. I had wipped off that shit-eating grin just in time when the captain walked in with our next case. What in the hell would cause someone to murder another human being on a ferris wheel? Forget that, why would someone murder in the first place? What if she was raped? That's just another reason why the world's dangerous I guess. No, I know it is. Well, until we get to the scene I might as well think about the big picture. Me and Elliot. I mean, it probably wasn't the best decision that I've made in my life, but at least he knows how I feel now. I was caught up in so many emotions it just kind of happened. I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't have pulled away...No Olivia, stop, I wont go there. I wish we would get to the scene already so I can stop smiling and stop giving Elliot a chance to question me about it because I hate lying to him.
Wow, this drive is sure taking long. Okay, calm down, let's think about this. Elliot had a wife, four children, and here I am playing "The other Woman." And if Kathy found out, that would just give her another reason to hate me. Good going Olivia, you've thrown yourself into a pile of shit. I should really talk to Elliot about this, maybe I'll ask him to go for drinks or something tonight, if the case allows. I wonder what he's thinking about?
On the way to the scene- Elliot's POV
Damnit! Do people even know how to drive around here? I hope I didn't give Olivia whip-lash when I slammed the brakes, that wouldn't be too good for me to have her pissed all afternoon. I saw her smiling before (yes!). I wonder what she was smiling about? I hope it was last night, because that's all I've been able to think about. Kathy hasn't called me, but I'm not surprised because she's probably out screwing her boyfriend that she just HAD to have since I didn't "satisfy" her enough. Bull-shit. I did what I could for her, but all she thought about was how often Olivia and I were together. Our marriage was slowly deteriorating and I guess she finally decided to break the vows.
But, now that I think about it, the break-up was a good thing because it gave me and Olivia a chance to show how we felt about each other. And boy did we take that chance. I was so stunned when she kissed me I had to wrap my arms around her to hold me up (not that I didn't want to he he). I honestly don't know why she isn't married with kids of her own already. I know that if I had her I would get on my knees and bow to her on a daily basis. She's a goddess. 100% goddess. Woah Elliot, calm down, johnny boy is having a field day down there in your pants. Finally we made it to the scene, time to get cracking.
The medical examiner Dr.Warner was climbing down a ladder, polaroid camera in hand when the detectives arrived.
"Don't plan on sleeping tonight, this is a good one."
"What do we got?" asked Olivia.
"Well," warner continued, "It seems the perp liked to play dress-up, she was found wearing white make-up and dressed in a clown suit." The detectives made their way over to the crime scene, and Olivia had to avert her eyes for fear of vomiting all over her partner.
"It's a good thing I didn't eat anything this morning." She whispered, but Elliot didn't laugh, his eyes were fixed on the polariod picture of the body. Even on film it looked like a horror movie scene.
She was a beautiful girl, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. It looked as thought her body shape was the same as Olivia's, but you couldn't see much because of all the blood.
"She was left at the top of the ferris wheel so he probably knew how to work the machine because there's no way he could have gotten down from way up there." Said Warner.
"Was she raped?" questioned Olviva, she was still focusing on keeping whatever contents were in her stomach in their rightful place.
"Spermicide is present, probably from a condom, and there is some vaginal bruising. Our perp also slit her throat, but only half way. She suffered a slow and painful death."
"Detectives!" one of the workers ran over to them, "he wasn't too smart after all, he left the keys in the machine. Something must have scared him off."
"You think we can get prints off of those?" said Elliot.
"Probably," Olivia answered, "send them to the lab."
"You got it." Said the worker and he hurried back to his work space.
Olivia and Elliot were on their was back to their car when they heard Warner yell,
"Detectives! It seems he left another surprise." As they hurried overback to the crime scene Warner turned on the ferris wheel using the keys. Olivia could see what appeared to be numbers written in blood on the back of every cart. They stood in shock as the wheel stopped when the body reached the bottom.
"I don't want to guess what's behind her." Said Elliot. Olivia just looked at him. When the M.E pulled her body away there was a barely visible, blood-written "#1" on the cart.
Olivia whispered, "Looks like we've got ourselves a serial rapist.
