Chapter 3
"Special Victims, Lieutenant Benson." Olivia answered after the second ring.
"Hello Olivia, it's been quite a while."
"Oh wow, C-Casey Novak, h-how are you?"
"I'm doing great, really enjoying my work with the IDEASB."
Upon hearing this, Olivia's mood darkened.
"So, this isn't a social call then?" the brunette asks.
"No, I'm afraid not."
"What do you want to know?" Liv inquired.
"Have there been any rapes, kidnappings recently where the victims had a drug called Black Scorpion in their systems?" Casey asks.
"I'll have to check with my detectives, give me half an hour and I'll get back to you." replied Olivia.
"All right, thanks Olivia." Casey says before hanging up the phone.
Half an hour later Olivia called Casey back,
"OK Casey, I went back three months, in that time frame we've had 130 cases that match what you asked about. Of those 12 cases resulted in death."
"Leaving 118 cases open or unsolved."
"Exactly, and our Narcotics units can't handle this type of volume."
"Forward the cases to us, do you have a general area where the activity is occurring?" Casey inquired.
"It's contained mostly in West Manhattan."
"Got it." Casey says.
Olivia loved hearing the fire in Casey's voice, she hadn't heard it in some time and it was infectious, the brunette felt a familiar stirring in her belly that made her smile.
"Say Casey, are you free tonight?"
"I believe so, why Olivia?"
"I was wondering if you could come by my place, there's someone special that I want you to meet."
"OK, my shift ends at 7:30, let me change out of my uniform and I'll be right over." the redhead said.
Boss Ashitaka is inspecting the shipment of Black Scorpion that has just come in, he's really stressed because his New York has just placed an order for four tractor trailers worth of the drug which would fetch close to 3.5 Billion dollars, but Ashitaka is nervous because he saw Agent Casey Novak at the wedding a few nights ago, he has expressed his concerns to Osowa, who put his fears to rest.
It's now 6:30 and Casey is wrapping up her work when Gina walks up to her.
"Commander, something has happened."
"Gina, I have a very important appointment I don't want be late for."
"It's Mizuki Amurabe, she was beaten, raped, and murdered." Gina says quickly.
"You handle the investigation because I knew the victim personally and keep me out of the loop on this." Casey said, reciting the IDEASB's protocol regarding an Agent's personal connections or relationships with victims.
"Yes Ma'am." Gina said.
Soon enough, Casey pulled up to Olivia's apartment building and going inside. She takes the elevator up to the 7th floor where Olivia's apartment is, Casey knocks on her front door, a few moments later Olivia opens the door.
"Casey, I'm so glad you that you came, come on in." the brunette says happily.
Casey sat down on the couch while Olivia was in the kitchen making coffee for the two of them.
"So Casey, how long have you been with the IDEASB?"
"About four and half years." Casey says as Olivia puts the cup down in front of the redhead.
"I'll be right back." Liv replied before heading into a back room.
A few moments later Olivia returned, with an adorable baby boy in her arms.
"Casey Novak meet Noah Porter Benson, my Son." Olivia said proudly.
