Lexi had just entered the compound in time to hear the poor excuse that Agent Cantwell gave them all of why they would have to be in the front line in the desperate search to catch a murderer who was surely out of their reality.

And that's why I'm here–Lexi said as everyone in the room turned to see her.

Agent Cabot, what are you doing here–

A man goes out of control in New York in what are undoubtedly serial murders, what is known as a homicidal attack state, something triggered him and he is not going to stop soon until he is arrested, I know that, the only one The person who will be able to stop him is apparently Mrs. Kerns since there is an emotional link, the FBI does not want more people dead, that is why they sent me Agent Cantwell - Lexi said while passing a notification of his presence - I will go with you, tell you how enter and how to find us–

They look for her, take her into custody, secure her phone - Captain Cragen intervened, nodding to Lexi grateful for his presence - if it is about him, do not take independent actions, you have already heard Agent Cabot, I do not need to tell you to wear vests -

Against an AK47– said Fin.

If he seems to just walk away and let me deal with him, the priority for now is to find this woman–Lexi said looking significantly at Fin.

I do not want any hero, remember time, distance and cover your friends - Cragen said to end the talk.

Agent Cabot, allow me a few words–Cantwell said, approaching Lexi before she could speak to anyone from SVU.

Agent Cantwell I don't have time, I'm going to change and go out, just follow the orders of that paper and keep me informed, I assure you that if you do, we won't have problems–

...

While the team interviewed the girls who wanted to talk to them, Lexi kept at a distance without losing sight of the road where Rasmussen could get into his car, this man was going to take those in front of him until he could get what he wanted, and they were playing against the clock, for every second that passed this man could kill a person, a blue truck that approached caught his attention and he approached Olivia and it was at that moment that the woman he was interviewing began to scream because it was precisely Kerns who was in the car.

Liv inform him, stay behind me, don't make sudden movements, and let me do the talking- Lexi approached the car with her gun drawn- sir, I cluck your hands where I can see them and get out of the car slowly-

From one moment to another a whole swat team was surrounding the car and taking the subject out, they soon realized that it was just one more client and there was no track of Rasmussen.

Liv, take her to the station, I'll be behind you–

...

His deaths are escalating, he's retaliating because he couldn't get what he wanted and won't stop until he got it - Lexi said as she approached where Amanda and Fin were.

Any idea where it might be? Amanda asked.

You cannot be sure where he will be, but he will surely look for Kerns again, or where he feels safe, I will return to the compound, we cannot lose that woman–

Lexi returned to the venue in record time, she did not like to leave Cantwell alone, she had heard enough of him to know not to trust that he would exhaust all the resources they had.

I'm back, I'm lost–said Lexi, putting her coat on a chair.

Benson and Amaro are talking to her to collaborate and help us– Captain Cragen replied.

It's the best we can do now, bodies pile up so fast. "Lexi stood by the window to watch the interview while Nick proposed a dinner to Mrs. Kerns.

Spinach with cream, and dessert, why not a hot bath - Cantwell said angrily.

Easy, we know what we're doing- Nick said facing the agent.

I want more speed–

If what you want is speed you can go out through that door and look for Rasmussen in the streets, that woman is our only link with him, I am not going to lose him - Lexi said without even looking at him, he took out a ticket and handed it to him. Nick– for Kerns dinner, we should keep her here with us–

They all watched as Olivia talked to Kerns, that was until her cell phone rang.

It could be him calling - he said looking at the others, I follow Cantwell who entered first, he saw how he ordered Kerns to answer and not tell him that he had seen the news - Vasta and agent, Mrs. Kerns, I'm agent Alexandria Cabot, you need to talk with him as long as possible, you know him well, you can do this–

While Jeannie Kerns was talking to Rasmussen, a technician was in charge of tracking the call, Lexi had to give it to this woman, she managed to keep the man's attention and although something repetitive was heard, I just hope that the man's lack of sleep managed to camouflage him so that he would not suspect nothing, without any inconvenience they obtained the address just in time before he called her finished, it would only be a matter of time before catching him.

...

Rasmussen left, we lost him –Agent Cantwell said as they entered the interview room where Lexi, Olivia and Nick had stayed to accompany Jeannie.

What– Lexi said getting up from the chair where she had been dozing.

Killed a security guard and a night clerk– Cantwell said.

I thought her workplace was guarded - Lexi said as she ran her hands through her hair, she couldn't believe they had let this man get away, Lexi happened to have to convince Kerns and left that to Liv since apparently the woman was better suited to her.

We can't let her out, she's her target, she's sure to go back to work– Olivia said as she entered Cragen's office.

Well, the bureau thinks it's the best chance to stop him–Cantwell said.

They want to use it as bait - Olivia said not at all happy with the idea.

Rather a decoy, we intervene her phone, they will have her under surveillance- Cantwell answered as if it were the simplest thing.

No, he won't cooperate - Nick said that he knew this woman was not going to bend that simple.

Well we threaten her like having her as a witness, she won't win anything - Cantwell said.

We can't do that, I won't allow it - Lexi said as she looked at him leaning on the desk as she crossed her arms - that woman is the only chance we have to catch him, I'm not going to lose her -

She is a worker, we are going to pay her, I will call intelligence to register her as an informant, and we will do the paperwork later–

Thanks captain - Lexi said taking her coat - I need a coffee and make some calls, Liv can you keep me informed please–

I'll call you anything, and I'll write every time I change location–

Thank you - he said as he left the office of the compound, walked a few streets and entered a cafe with a few tables, the business was almost empty yet he went to a table in the back looking towards the door while a cup of coffee it slid toward her.

Where is the war - Rafael said as he left the papers he was reading aside while noticing his clothing, he was wearing black military pants, with soldier's notes and a black long-sleeved diver, at his side he dropped his vest and belt.

It's easier to move in this, than in heels and dress pants- Lexi took a sip of coffee and let out a groan, without a doubt the district should invest in a better coffee.

What about your night-

Long, and that the suspect escaped does not compensate for the lack of sleep and the incompetent agent that I have to put up with–

At least now you can have a good coffee, no - Rafael said with a mischievous smile.

Because you're so happy, I like the surly and gruff Rafael better - Lexi said as she finished her coffee and raised her hand for a refill.

Since SVU is busy with this suspect I have some free time –he said with a cheerful voice.

I definitely prefer the surly and gruff more than the bright and happy Beard–

HAHA come on it will be good for you to distract yourself something, what are you going to do on Thanksgiving–

I still can't decide if small food and a movie or Thai and a good book–

You will not see your family–

I am intentionally avoiding my father, so no, I will not go home–

Because of your work–

Why don't I want to talk to him, and what do you do on Thanksgiving–

Every year I have dinner with mommy and grandma-

I bet my career that they are wonderful women and with a lot of patience if they have to put up with you–

They are the best but I don't think I'm biased - Rafael said while taking a break to have some coffee - because you're not coming with me and you draw your own conclusion -

Go meet your mother and grandmother - Lexi said as she straightened in her chair.

My mother always complains and torments me because I don't have many friends and I work too much, if you come you will save yourself from choosing between Thai and Chinese, while I save myself from Mommy's sermon–

Two birds with one stone–

I couldn't have said it better, what do you say–

I ... - At that moment his cell phone started ringing and he saw Fin's name - I'm sorry, I have to answer - Rafael nodded while she answered - what's up Fin -

We found the car that Rasmussen stole, it's on 132nd Street and Lincoln Avenue, Rollins and I are on our way - said Fin from the other side of the line.

I'll find you there - he hung up the line and got up while putting on his vest and strap - I have to go, I'll call you when this madness ends.

I have the account - Rafael said when he saw that he was trying to get money to pay - be careful out there you want -

You too - she said giving him a kiss on the cheek, before getting too far from him she turned around and called him by name - I think your mom would love to tell your new friend embarrassing things about when you were a child - eye and continued on his way leaving Rafael with a smile on his face as he denied your daring.
