Part 4

The two detectives sat and started reading through the old files. As Olivia started reading, an ice-cold shock ran up her spine. The second victim had been discovered in the very same alley in which she had been violently conceived in 1968.

Elliot looked up as she gasped. The colour drained from his partners face. "Liv, what's wrong?"

Silently she handed him the file of the second victim. Jorja Anderson a prostitute who'd called it a night, and had been on her way home.

John and Fin both looked up as Elliot read the file, and realized what had shocked her. Glancing over a the other two detectives, he shook his head, making it clear that he was able to take care of the problem, the men nodded, and returned to their own case.

Elliot went to Olivia's side, and looked into her eyes.

"Hey, it's a coincidence. That's all."

Staving off the impending emotional flood, she nodded. "I know. It was a shock is all."

Looking at his watch Elliot saw that it was well past 6pm. "Let's go have some dinner, get back to it when we've had something to eat?"

They went to a small diner less than a block away. Elliot was solicitous, gauging his partners mood. He tried to get her to loosen up and forget about the coincidence of locations in which both her mother and one of the victims had been attacked.

"Katie has a soccer game this weekend, and she's asked me to ask you along."

Olivia looked at him surprised that his children would want her company. "Oh, okay. Sure."

She knew his children well. When you're partners with someone for any length of time, you become a part of their family. Their partnership was no exception. She'd had more than a few dinners at his place over the years, and had even spent a few Thanksgiving's and one Christmas with Elliot's family. Since Kathy's death, she'd seen much more of them, having dinner with them at least once a week. She was still a little surprised though that Kathleen would want her at her soccer game.

She raised her eyebrow in question. Elliot knew exactly why.

"I think she just wants someone without testosterone cheering her on." He answered her unasked question. "Kathy used to make it to most of the games, now that the soccer season's started again, … well she just wants you there. Can you make it?"

His voice had thickened somewhat, and Olivia saw the shadow of love that Elliot still had for his wife.

She placed her hand over his. "I'd love to." Her smile was infectious and he returned it.

"Thanks, Katie'll be happy." He looked at his watch. "We really should get back or they're gonna think we've gone AWOL."

Olivia threw a few bills on the table to cover the meal and tip and followed Elliot out.

On the short walk back to the precinct, Elliot looked over at her. She was definitely more relaxed, which made him smile.

Catching the smile Olivia asked, "What's that smile for?"

"Was just pleased that you're coming to the game. Of course you know that means you havta attend the after game BBQ."

With a shrug she said, "Sure should be fun."

Arriving back at the 1 – 6, Olivia grabbed a Marker and started covering the perspex board, in what they knew, and any possible links. It would hold all their information, so they'd be able to make links, and hopefully wheedle out some clues as to whom they were looking for.

Sorry this chapter was a little boring – and short. Promise next one will be longer and more interesting. You can still leave a review though
