A seemingly slam-dunk case takes a turn.

Jackie Conner lay in her hospital bed of the Obstetrics ward barely conscious and barely able to speak. Her jaw was throbbing and sore and so was the rest of her body. The Morphine they gave her helped dull the physical pain and the emotional pain which she was thankful for. She just wished she could speak well enough to tell Det. Tutuola about what had happened.

"Just take your time and try to remember anything, anything at all." Fin said with concern.
He was interrupted by a nurse who came in to check on her.

"How are you feeling?" The nurse asked while checking her IV.

"Is..this..a...trick..question?" Jackie said.

The nurse laughed slightly. "Any pain?"

"No..for..first time..today." She said groggily.

"Drugs." Fin interjected. "Enjoy them while they last."

The nurse left and Fin continued. "What do you remember about the attack?"

"He..was...my..boyfriend."

"How long had you been dating?"

"A...few...months."

"Was he violent before?"

"No."

"What's his name?"

"Brian Lambert."

"How did the attack start? What set him off?"

"We...fighting...he...was drunk..beat me..hit my face...body..took clothes off."

"Your clothes or his?"

"His clothes..threw me on the bed..landed on top of me...something sharp in me..hurt...then..him..inside me..glass and him..could feel it. After...he...took me..to my house...thanked me...for...wonderful evening..I called..hospital..you know the rest."

"We're gonna need his address." Fin finally managed to say after being in shock which was rare for him to show outwardly.

She gave him the address then heard someone knock quietly on her door.

"You almost done in here?" Munch said softly.

Fin turned around. "In a second."

"Thank you, You were very brave. Get some rest." He said as he squeezed her hand then went to meet up with his partner.

"How long were you standing there?" Fin said slightly annoyed.

"Not that long, I just got done talking to the surgeon, I just wanted to see if you need any help. Did you get anything?" Munch said, ignoring his partner's attitude.

"Plenty. I think this is one case we can close in time to get some sleep. What did the doc say?"

"Well, she's got broken bones, skull fracture, bruises, oh, and they had to do a hysterectomy."

"My God." Fin replied in disgust. "This guy really messed her up."

"I know, it's a wonder she's still alive. He also found some glass inside her like the nurse said."

"She told me about that, that's just wrong. Some people are sick. I got his address, let's go arrest his a."

"Who is the guy?" Munch asked.

"Brian Lambert, he was her boyfriend."

"Looks like he ended that relationship."

Just then, Munch's cell phone rang.

"Munch." He said then there was a long pause as he listened to whoever was on the other end. "Thank you." He hung up the phone and looked up at his partner with sad eyes. "That was Warner, that uterus they removed had an 8 week old fetus in it and of course, more glass."

"The fetus had glass!" Fin said loudly.

"It would appear so."

"Let's go and get this guy before he does more damage." Fin said even more enraged.

Munch knocked on the door of Brian Lambert's apartment. "Mr. Lambert, this is the NYPD, we have a warrant for your arrest, open the door or we will break it down."

They got no response so John instructed the officers to take the battering ram to the door. He and Fin ran into the apartment with their guns out while the police cleared the scene. They were taken aback and confused.

The place was empty.
