A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in awhile I had gone on vacation. But I wrote a long chapter to make up for it. Hope you enjoy it!
Chapter Twelve
Gismo and a Suspect
Alex stepped into the apartment two hours after leaving the doctor's office holding Serena with arm and a bag of supplies for Gismo, the puppy they had found at the doctors, both from the vet and the store in the other. Gismo followed along behind her. She had Gismo on a blue leash she had bought at the pet store. After closing the door she placed the bag of supplies on the kitchen table before heading over to the couch and sitting down. Serena jumped onto the floor the second Alex sat down and went over to Gismo. Alex took the leash off of Gismo she watched as Serena played with him. She knew that having Gismo around was going to be good for the rambunctious toddler.
"Can Gismo sleep with me tonight?" Serena asked.
Alex smiled and nodded.
"Of course he can sweetie," Alex told her.
Alex watched as a small smile spread across her tiny lips. Alex loved when Serena smiled. She was her world and Alex was her happiest when Serena was happy. Olivia was her world too but after her and Olivia decided to adopt Serena she had grown even happier. She briefly wondered how Olivia was doing at work and if they were any closer to finding Casey.
Olivia made it back to the squad room just in time to meet Elliot and Mackenzie, who had just comeback from the M.E. She was instantly curious as to whether or not they had identified the stain on the carpet. Olivia had a funny feeling that it was a bloodstain and she hoped to whoever was listening that it wasn't Casey's but the person who took Casey.
"Did they identify the stain on the carpet?" Olivia asked as soon as they were sitting around the white board.
Elliot nodded.
"But it's not Casey's," Elliot added before he read off a piece of paper, "It's someone by the name of Elton Lowry. He's got a criminal record of Fraud and Burglary. But he hasn't got anything for assault or kidnapping."
Olivia tried to think back to if Martin or Casey had ever mentioned that name while they were dating. But she couldn't for the life of her remember, but something told her she had heard the name before. She just didn't know where.
"We should pay our dear friend a visit then," Olivia said.
Elliot and Mackenzie nodded in agreement. And after they informed the Captain of what they had found they headed out to pick up Elton Lowry from his apartment. When they reached the apartment Olivia recognized the neighborhood as being a block away from Casey's own apartment.
"This guy lives a block away from Casey," Elliot pointed out more for Mackenzie's benefit, "He had the opportunity to do it."
Olivia nodded in agreement. She followed Mackenzie and Elliot into the building after they flashed their badges to the doorman who opened the door for them. Olivia checked the slip of paper that had his information on it and headed for the elevator. Elton lived on the seventh floor and there was no way Olivia was going to walk up seven flights of stairs for a perp. The others followed her into the elevator.
"How's Serena?" Elliot asked as the elevator ascended to the seventh floor.
"She's okay. She just has a little cold," Olivia replied, "But when we came out of the doctor's office we found a puppy that Serena wanted. So we decided to keep him."
Elliot couldn't keep the smile off his face. Olivia knew what he was thinking. All Serena had to do was smile and she would get anything handed to her on a gold platter. No one knew this but all Alex had to do was look at her and she would jump through hoops. So why not her daughter have the same reaction from Olivia.
"You're daughter is so spoiled," Elliot told her.
"Really Mr. let me buy her entire Christmas list every year," Olivia shot back with a smirk.
Elliot shot her a look before the doors opened. But that was how her daughter was. No one could escape the look when she wanted something. She glanced quickly at Mackenzie before exiting the elevator. She probably had no idea what they were talking about since Mackenzie didn't know Serena. They soon arrived at Elton's door and Elliot banged on the door shouting out who they were. Moments later the door opened up and a scared looking Elton Lowry appeared.
"Hey Elton," Olivia exclaimed, "Surprised to see us?"
Elton stayed silent but his scared and nervous expression stayed on his face. Olivia glanced over at Elliot and they silently decided what to do.
"Let's take a ride back to the station," Elliot told Elton, "You can tell us all about what you did when we get there."
When they got to the station Elliot took Elton to one of the interrogating rooms while Olivia and Mackenzie went to Cragen's office.
"We got Elton in interrogation room 3," Olivia told Cragen.
"Good," Cragen said, "Now go find out why his blood was in Casey's office."
Olivia nodded and left the office with Mackenzie who hadn't said anything until she told her annoying partner to back off.
"You watch from the observation room," Olivia said pointing to the door, "I think Elliot's in there. Tell him I'll try to crack Elton on my own."
Mackenzie nodded and disappeared into the room Olivia had pointed too. When the door closed Olivia entered the observation room and slid into a chair across from Elton with her back to the two-way mirror.
"Wanna tell me how your blood got on the floor of our Assistant Distract Attorney?" Olivia asked.
Elton cracked as easily as cracking an egg into a pan. He told Olivia all about how he had been paid by someone named Martin to kidnap the ADA. But Martin had told him that it was routine test done by the DA's office to check the security in the office.
"Write all that down," Olivia told him sliding him a pad of paper and a pen.
She headed into the observation room where Mackenzie and Elliot looked very happy.
"Looks like we need to pick up Martin," Mackenzie said.
A/N: So next chapter they got pick up the infamous Martin. I'm hoping they beat him up before they get to the station. Who's going to say anything? Certainly not any of them. Laughs evilly.
A/N 2: Review please. They make me happy. Reviews are my drugs. Ha Ha!
