Notes Dec.12.2005: I feel sooooo terrible! I haven't updated in sooo long! Please don't hate me for this, I've been really busy with school and dance and everything. I've also been having some issues not relating to school. Please, I beg for your forgiveness! Lol. Okay well, here's chapter 5. Oh yeah, thanks for the reviews!
Again. One more thing. This chapter is short. I know. I'm sorry for that too. I will try to improve the next chapter. Please just hang tight. I promise you this will get better.
Fin hardly said a word as him and Ms. Benson carried the bottles to his car; and Olivia was grateful. But that didn't last long because as she was about to open the passenger door, a dark hand fell upon hers. She looked up at Fin who was now standing beside her. He took a step closer and caught her eye.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry about it." And with that, he simply nodded his head, walked around the front end of the car and climbed into the driver's seat. Although, it wasn't long before Olivia finally turned to him as they parked at the station. "I don't know what it is about this case but it's really starting to get to me. I mean, most cases kinda do; considering what we do for a living but this one's different."
"Well we found out that the mom was a drunk…Maybe you've connected with Tracy because you've been in her position before."
"Could that be any more obvious? I can't wait to get back and send Munch to go get us some food." Olivia said, giving a small laugh as she turned her head towards the window, watching all sorts of people come in and out of her favourite café across the street.
"Hey don't go changing the subject on me. You're the one that brought this up again." Liv gave the tiniest sigh, and turned back towards Fin. It was at that moment that Fin noticed how beautiful Olivia really was. Maybe it was the way her hair swayed when she turned her head, or the way her eyes sparkled with emotion but there was something about her that was just…stunning.
"What?"
"Hm?"
"You were looking at me funny."
"Come on lets get inside. It's cold and everybody should be here by now." Olivia just gave the other detective a confused look and walked towards the door, leaving him to bring up everything from the car. As she entered the precinct and sat at her desk she was welcomed with silly questions of "Get a good nights sleep?" and curious questions of "Where were you and Fin?" But before she could answer, Detective Tutuola walked in with an arm full of liquor bottles and carefully set them on a near by table.
"What's all of this?" asked Munch. The Captain, who was watching this from inside his office, walked out and was the next to take turns in their question-asking-game.
"Does somebody want to inform me as to what is going on around here?" Olivia hesitated and quickly glanced over at Fin before she told everybody about her suspicions of Caitlin Darwin being an alcoholic and how she found the hiding places for all of the liquor bottles at the apartment. When she was finished, Elliot, who was standing behind Olivia, gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze.
"You did good Liv." Her other co-workers nodded in agreement and continued trying to find out how and why Caitlin and Austin were killed. Not to mention by who.

Days had passed and everyone at the 1-6 had been working overtime to try and solve this case. There had been interviews with neighbours, co-workers, friends and teachers. Huang also visisted Tracy for half an hour each day. But those 6 long days had definitely paid off. They had found out that there was a boyfriend in the picture by the name of Travis Maxwell. A neighbour said that she always saw him coming and going. And whenever he was around she could usually hear him yelling and telling Caitlin how much of a dumb bitch and a whore she was. Munch had just come in with morning coffee for everyone when his phone started ringing.
"Munch. She WHAT? And nobody heard any of this last night? Okay we're on it Ms. Marshall." He hung up his phone and spun around to face Fin. "Where's Benson and Stabler?"
"In the interogation room with one of the boyfriend's friends. Why?" But Fin didn't get an answer because Munch was in that interogation room within seconds. He slammed the door behind him making Olivia, Elliot and Travis' friend, Martin Ashbury, all jump out of their seats. Munch was furious. "Mr. Ashbury did your friend ever speak of any other apartments he owned anywhere? A cabin prehaps? Did he ever say anything about any storage lockers he has? Anything?"
"Jesus Munch. What's this all about?" wondered Olivia. Munch stood up straight, looked from Martin to Elliot and back to Olivia. He walked to the corner of the room and waved over Elliot and Benson. "I just got a call from Tracy's temporary foster mother. She's been kidnapped." Munch exited the room to spread the news leaving Elliot and Olivia standing in shock. Elliot didn't even glance at Mr. Ashbury when he spoke.
"Answer the question Martin."
"I know that Travis's parents have a cabin not too far from here. We go up there every now and then for a good party."
"Thank you Mr. Ashbury. You may have just saved a young girl's life."
