He is not from the United States – said Captain Cragen when everyone gathered in the compound to discuss the new case they had – immigration has some result of his fingerprints –
Not yet, they are very busy – said Nick who had been in charge of verifying that information – many governors have a strong hand with the illegals –
We don't know who it is, Lexi? – Asked the captain.
I can check with my contact at interpol – Lexi said while writing a message – it would be good to check in other cases in case there is the same modus operandi to rule out –
Well, how it got here, the rowboat – said the captain.
It's a normal boat, with no serial numbers, no name of anyone–Liv said.
The port authority knows where it came from floating–
No, they say that if we know when, they can tell us where, and if we know where they can tell us when – said Amanda.
That is not as useful as I would like – said the captain.
It would be more useful if she were dead– said Melinda who had joined them in the investigation.
Melinda, you mean it– Fin said.
The rigor, the time of death – said Melinda explaining herself.
We could track him down, it would be easier– Lexi helped.
I'm actually glad we don't have to– Liv said.
Okay, let's get something clear, eight hours have passed and we have nothing – said the captain.
Yes, it's almost three o'clock, school is about to close, let's go – said Amanda.
It's our only clue – Lexi said getting up from the table.
Wait Rollins, how is your shoulder – said the captain – should send Amaro with Fin –
No, okay, rehab is annoying but I'm okay to go–
Lexi smiled when Rollins left without giving her time to say a word.
...
This place is all messed up – Nick said as he entered the room.
Or someone got here first and messed it up– Liv said.
What were they looking for– Nick said.
Whatever it was – Lexi said as she put on some gloves – I hope it wasn't the victim's ID – she had made calls to interpol but that was taking a long time.
Someone had a shopping outburst– Liv said.
They weren't after the cash– Nick said, showing them the money.
That complicates things– said Lexi.
Canadian passport, Ariel Randolph – Nick said he had found the passport – entered the country four days ago –
Well now we have to find out what he was doing here – said Lexi approaching a piece of furniture.
We have the power cord for a Tablet– Liv said.
And an IPhone charger – Lexi said showing them the cable – there is none –
They were looking for something they didn't want anyone to see– Nick said.
You could say that she knew the attacker, that's why the room, what was in those devices may help us identify her attacker – Lexi said while checking the security cameras with Nick.
Wait, I have something, there is a call, the same video chat number, twice a day – Liv said.
Call – Lexi said approaching.
The faces of the three fell at the sight of the two children of the victim, Lexi reached out and squeezed Liv's man.
...
But not beyond the range of the cameras on the street – Nick said that he had arrived with Lexi to collect the recordings near where Ariel had been last seen.
You should already have the link – Lexi said turning to Amanda – she was picked up a few blocks from the club –
There it is– Amanda said.
And you came that truck before– Liv said.
Go ahead – said the captain giving the green light.
He says he lives in the park because he has nowhere else to go– said Amanda, coming out of the interrogation room.
He's right, he's a level three sex offender– Liv said.
Phil's story holds up, we have our man– said the captain.
The blood on his clothes matches that of Ariel Randolph, the mold of his teeth and the DNA match the bites – Nick said reading the forensic report.
We found her phone, her purse and a paddle with Ariel's blood in her shop– said Lexi.
So after stealing and assaulting her, he put her in the note so she wouldn't be found anywhere near where she lives – asked the captain.
They found glue and bath salts in his store, so if you're looking why, it won't be there– Amanda said.
He was just a victim of opportunity, he caught the attention of the wrong person– Lexi said regretfully– it happens very often–
….
Long day – Rafael said when Lexi joined him after taking a long shower.
Long days– Lexi said as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
I heard about your victim, I can't–
Lexi shook her head and took her glass to finish her drink.
He was just one person at the wrong time, he was nice to the wrong person –said Lexi, she told her about the guy that Ariel gave the rest of her food to, and how this sex offender followed her when she decided to enter the park.
Have you ever felt that we have a double life? – Lexi asked after a long silence.
What do you mean by double life – Rafael said with a frown.
I mean, you already told your family about me, and I talked to my parents when they called the other day, I actually talked to my mother – Lexi said when she saw the look she gave her – but ... –
But what– Rafael said.
Liv is my friend, and I respect your decision to keep your professional and private life away from each other, but sometimes I feel like I'm living two lives–
That thought has something to do with the case – asked Rafael as he balanced her on his lap.
I don't know, maybe. "Lexi said placing her hands on his shoulders.
It's only been a few months since we put a label on the relationship, I may want to keep this a little longer – Rafael said caressing his thighs – but I promise you that you will not have to hide anything from Benson, you have not had to testify for me yet, but I know that very soon that will happen and I also know that they want you in the department, I only think about how complicated things would be and seeing how easy they are now, I only wish that they continue like this–
I understand – Lexi said taking her face to kiss him, her reasoning was valid, many times she had also thought the same.
We are not going against time, we are going with him – said Rafael intensifying the kiss as he untied the bathrobe and lost himself privileging her body with charisms, while his moans managed to increase the tension in his pants.
