I was on fire, now I've got to hang it up for the night. I will try to update tomorrow or Sunday. Thanks for the reviews and please keep reading! There's more I want to cover with this story.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Sasha was elated. She skipped down the street, the picture of a free woman without a care in the world. Her beauty radiated, and passerby couldn't help but notice the beautiful woman.

I won, she thought, pumping her fist in the air. You can't stop me Devil, I'm on to you. This battle was mine for the taking.

She wandered the streets aimlessly, the picture of happiness. The city was waking up, vendors were setting up their wares and the early morning traffic was starting to heat up. But Sasha noticed none of this. She was too busy trying to figure out how to win battle two, the last and final fight.

I can do this, just one more battle with you Devil. She was one step closer to her love and she wasn't going to stop now. She was in overdrive, time to speed up this process. She looked down at her clothes. What the hell was she wearing? She needed to change.

Sasha took one last spin and headed home.

"Elliot. Again, you are missing a partner. Why can't you keep a tight leash on her?"

Fin and Munch chuckled at Elliot's irritation. Olivia was three hours late for work and he couldn't reach her anywhere. No one had seen her this morning, despite the fact that she told him that she came here. The captain wasn't in yet either, so maybe they were together?

"Good morning, people. Elliot, can I see you in my office?"

Spoke too soon. Elliot spun around and followed Cragen into his office, desperately trying to come up with an excuse for her.

"Close the door."

Elliot obeyed. The captain looked haggard and Elliot instantly knew he wasn't happy.

"Whatever it is, whoever it is, I didn't do it," Elliot complained.

"This isn't about you," Cragen said rolling his eyes. "It's Olivia. Her mother died last night."

Elliot stilled. "What! What happened! I thought her mother was working late-" he shut up quickly. He didn't want to add too much of what he knew in case the captain figured out where he had spent the night.

"She was drunk and tumbled down a set of subway steps. I called Olivia down here around 4 a.m. to tell her the news."

Oh my God, Elliot thought. She was going to blame herself. He needed to talk to her. "Where is she Cap?"

Cragen looked at him. "I was…hoping you could tell me that," he said gravely.

Elliot shifted uncomfortably. "I haven't seen her since yesterday…"

"Dammit," Cragen said, frustrated. "She's disappeared Elliot. Sanders left her alone in the viewing room. He became concerned when she hadn't emerged in an hour, took a peek in the room and she was gone. I was hoping she went to you, but we can't locate her anywhere."

Elliot let out the breath he was holding. But he was faced with another problem. Where the hell is Olivia?
