Munch- "5 Vehicles drove passed the ally between 4 and 6 and 3 of those stopped in front of it "
Fin taped three printouts to the whiteboard
Fin- "The Blue Honda is registered to a Mr. Kyle Hernik and the green Mitsubishi is registered to Mrs. Jordan Roberts"
Cragen- "And the van?"
Munch- "Is a mystery, we checked the license plate and it's registered to a Mr. Harold Parker but he owns a red Honda, not a white van"
Elliot- "It's got some sort of writing and logo on the side, can we blow that up?"
Fin- "Already did, it's a post company 'Express couriers', we checked it out and it doesn't exist"
Cragen- "Great, anything else?"
Fin shook his head
Cragen- "what about the victim?"
Olivia- "Her condition has stabilized and she's out of surgery, they're doing a rape kit as we speak"
Cragen- "ok, Munch, Fin find that van, Olivia, Elliot, talk to the owners of those other vehicles, we'll call you back when we get results from the kit"

Residence of Jordan Roberts
"I decided to head into work early because I've been falling a bit behind, anyway I stopped because I though I saw something moving, I was going to go and check it out but then I thought of all those horror stories you hear about dark alleys late at night and chickened out…maybe if I hadn't that poor girl would be better off"
Olivia- "Did you see a white van in the area?"
"Yea, there was one at the lights after I drove off, it had some writing on it… Express somethingorother"
Elliot- "Did you get a look at whoever was driving?"
"Nah- he had tinted windows"
Elliot- "is there anything else you can remember about the van?"
"Just that he seemed in a big hurry"
Elliot- "what makes you say that?"
"Took off really fast the second the lights changed"
Elliot- "in which direction?"
"Straight ahead"
Olivia- "Thank you for your time, if you think of anything else please let us know"
"I just hope you get the bastard"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residence of Kyle Hernik
Olivia- "Sir could you tell us why you stopped outside the alley?"
"I-I was on my way home from a-a- friends and I had some rubbish in the car and there was bin so I … is it true? You found a girl there?"
Elliot- "Yea, could we have the name of your, friend?"
He blushed
"Erm, Judy Mathews"
Olivia- "Thank you, you didn't notice anything … odd about the alley?"
"No"
Elliot- "Did you see a white courier van around the area?"
"No"
Olivia- "Could you give us a DNA sample?"
He nodded wordlessly, Elliot took the sample
Olivia- "Well thank you for your time, let us know if you recall anything that could help us"
Again, the man nodded and they left
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside
Olivia- "well they both seem to have pretty good alibis"
Elliot nodded
"Better check them out anyway"
There was an awkward silence in the car until
"Sooo…how are things at home?"
"Quiet as the grave now that Kathy 'nd the kids've left"
"Lonely?"
He looked for a minute as though he was going to tell her it was none of her business, but then he glanced at her and his expression softened
"Yea"
"You know you're always welcome at my place if you need some company"
"Thanks 'Liv"

Fin was taping photos of the girl onto the whiteboard as he spoke to Olivia, Elliot and Much; Cragen was in his office on the phone
"Warner called with the results, no semen but there was spermacide, the attacker used a condom, they found a hair though, traces of something on her thigh and a partial fingerprint-the guys hands were covered in grease, the DNA doesn't match Kyle Hernik or Callum Matheson, no-one in the system either, the fingerprint is the same"
"What about the bruising and that? Anything?"
"So far, our best guess is a baseball bat or something similar"
"Who could hate a 12 year old so much?"
"That's what we have to find out, how are we going on the van?"
"Nothing"
Just then, Cragen hung up and beckoned to them
"We just got a report in, 2 years ago a girl was dumped in Philly with the same MO, white van was spotted fleeing the scene, she died, they're sending a couple of detectives over with the box to help us work the case"
Everyone groaned
Fin- "How many is a couple?"
Cragen- "two, Detectives Rush and Valens"
Elliot- "two is two to many"
"Well, there's nothing I can do, as soon as they heard about the case, the detectives wanted in, besides, they may be helpful"
Everyone looked at him skeptically
"In the meantime, there's nothing more you can do until they arrive so go home"
"When are they arriving?"
"They're on the plane now"
