Chapter 3: Um...Untitled?
A/N: Sorry this took so long to post. I have recently been diagnoised with a severe case of laziness that has symptoms of procratination. :) Well...On with the story...I'm so excited the crossover is revealed in this chapter...I think. LOL.
After thinking about Dr. Huang's last statement, she thought back to a couple of months later. Forgetting about the note she began a mad tangent.
"Oh my God. I can't believe that I did not see the connection." Olivia bursted out almost in laughter.
"What is it?" Cragen asked.
"There is this guy or was this guy in Miami, Florida. They called him the Carver. He wore this porcelain mask just like our guy. And they never caught him. Miami Detectives think he left the area and had an accomplice In Miami, the Carver would cut the victim's faces starting at the corner of their mouths on both sides."
"Well the masks being on both guys does not really connect the two." Stabler reasoned.
"Yeah, not really but who does that? Have you ever seen a perp where a mask like this?" Everyone shook their heads.
"Maybe he just thought up something new. Perps get smarter all the time."
"Alright but get this. The Carver always said to his victims that 'Beauty is a curse on the world',that was released to the public. But not the fact that he wore a porcelain mask."
"Alright but you name was carved on the back of these girls, their faces were left alone." Stabler argued.
"Maybe, his is just changing his M.O. Its the clever thing to do and the Carver is educated. He was a plastic surgeon in Miami." Olivia concluded.
"Well, why would you name be carved in the victim's back?" Munch threw in.
"Remember where I went to vacation to about two months ago?"
"Yeah, Miami...Oh." Munch said.
"When I was there, I met a guy that worked with one of my friends named Christian Troy who is also a plastic surgeon..."
"You have a plastic surgeon for a friend?" Fin asked surprised.
"Yeah...anyway, Christian's friend was Quentin Costa. He asked me out and I turned him down, maybe that's why he is targeting me." She finished.
"How do you know what he told you is true?" Cragen asked.
"He and his partner Sean McNamara would do pro bono work on the Carver's victims. And because Christian and his partner Sean were victims as well as Christian's girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? I thought you said yo uwere his..." Fin started to ask shyly.
"I said I wa his friend not girlfriend Fin. Sorry to burst you bubble."
Before anyone started talking again, Olivia's cell phone went off. "Hello?...Was she raped? Alright, we'll be down there soon. Thanks."
"What they say?" Cragen asked curious as to why the hospital would call Olivia instead of him.
"A young woman, 18, was admitted to St. Anne's Hospital. Her face was carved and she was raped."
"Which means the Carver is here after all and we have a new psycho on our hands." Fin said.
"So the first guy is some kind of psuedo-Carver?" Cragen wondered out loud.
"Yeah, and I really would like a name to put to him other than psuedo-Carver." Stabler mentioned.
"Munch and Fin, go take the victim's statement and Olivia and Elliot, take a roadtrip to Miami and pay Christian Troy a visit..." Cragen ordered before an unfamiliar voice chimed in.
"No need, I am already here." Christian said as if on que.
"Christian! What a surprise its good to see you." Olivia happily greeted."
"Well I couldn't have you talking aobut me behind my back." he smiled.
"So what brings you here?"
"You mean what brings us here. Sean is here also, still at the hotel actually. I didn't check in yet. We are here to find out where the Carver crawled to."
"So your playing cops?"
"Something like that."
Forgetting the people surrounding her, Olivia turned and introduced him to everyone.
"While Stabler and us continue to work on this end, go with Christian and find out what you can about the Carver." Cragen ordered.
"Yes sir." Olivia and Christian walked out of the precint.
Before they left the building Christian headed to the bathroom after Olivia pointed him in the right direction. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Elliot coming up beside her.
"Not his girlfriend?"
"You sound jealous Elliot. But no, hi's too much of a player. Although he is hot. Seriously though, we date a long time ago but we are just friends. We went to high school together. So just lay off it Stabler."
Nodding his head in agreement, Elliot walked back to the squad room.
To those of you who watch Nip/Tuck that's where the crossover is with. Surprised? I am using the Carver in this story but there are two serial killers. The unkown perp, while educated nonetheless, is not killing because of some cause to help rid the world of its destruction of beauty as the Carver believes but simply for revenge. Revenge for what you ask? We'll see...
And I know its a little teeny bit farfetched but in my mind it works and if you don't see it working right now stick with me it will later...Christian Troy and Olivia are friends so just go along with it...lol. And tell me what you think.
I was going to post more but I feel that I posted a lot of new info on the case that is very important and well, cause my laziness is coming back to me...FEEDBACK PEOPLE! It makes me go faster.
