Amanda leans back in her chair and sighs.
"Any luck" Fin asks as he sits down across from her at his desk.
"No, there is nothing in his financials that link him to the vic or Jones" she tells him as she shakes her head.
"I'm sure we'll find something, we know Jones was too dumb to do this on his own" he tells her.
She nods in agreement "Maybe, but I don't think he would be so direct with it either. He's too smart to just pay him directly" she tells him as she picks up a folder.
"You thinkin' he's filtered it" Fin asks
Amanda looks up from the file "exactly, it would make sense" she says looking from the folder to the computer screen. "and I think I just found it" Amanda says standing up and walking over to stand behind Fin, she leans down and opens the folder.
"He normally uses this car service, it bills out once a month on the exact same date but there are multiple payments to this other car service all in the last month" she explains.
Fin grabs the folder "how does that link them?" he asks
"Jones shows large deposits one day after each scheduled pickup and I bet when we check he is listed as an employee for them" she says.
"Who is Janice Hyde?" Fin asks
Amanda follows his attention to the piece of paper "oh thats part of his payroll, just an employee. Why?" She asks.
Fin doesn't answer instead shuffles through some of the paperwork on his desk. He picks up a document and reads through it then nodding. "She is also Jone's grandmother" Fin smirks.
"He's scattering it so it goes undetected" Amanda tells him.
Fin nods in agreement then looks up at Liv walking out of her office "you guys get something" she asks.
"I think so" Amanda tells
"Good you can come with me to the DA's office" she tells her.
Amanda walks into the conference room following behind Liv. She is surprised to not see Carisi at the table but instead a young blonde woman she hasn't met before. She doesn't seem to notice them until Captain Benson clears her throat. She looks up and stands closing the folder she had been so interested.
"You must be Captain Benson and Detective Rollins. I'm ADA Burton" she introduces herself.
Amanda gives her a small smile. She wants to ask if her first name is Lindsay but doesn't want to seem interested either. Benson nods and looks around the room.
"nice to meet you, will Counselor Carisi be joining us" she asks.
"Yes, he is just running a little late but should be here soon. If you want to start I can fill him in" she tells them.
"We can wait" Amanda says maybe a little to quickly judging by the look Liv gives her.
On cue Carisi opens the door and walks in and smiles at them then Counselor Burton. Amanda can see that he is stressed though. She sees the tension in his shoulders and slight redness by his hairline where he has been rubbing his temples in frustration. She smiles back not wanting to think too much about why she knows his tells so easily.
"I see you've met counselor Lindsay Burton" he says as he walks to the head of the table and opens his folder.
"We have" Benson tells him before walking over to the white board, she motions for Amanda to join.
Amanda just raises and eyebrow at him causing him to look back down at the folder. It's not fair to be mad at him and she's not mad, not really. Just unfairly hurt that he is working with someone thats not her.
Amanda joins Liv at the board and starts posting the different documents. Benson starts drawing the timelines. Amanda explains the connection between the car services and the grandmother. Both Carisi and Burton listen and take notes.
"It's definitely a link personally but I'm not sure how it goes along with the rape and murders" Burton states.
Amanda sighs "Well I'm sure its there and we will find it once we get the warrant" she says staring only at Carisi.
He nods "Ok…It may be enough" he says causing both Amanda and Benson to give him a disbelieving look. The silence is broken with the ring of Benson's phone, she answers it and holds up a hand letting them know to table this conversation.
Amanda walks towards him "Carisi you know with a warrant we will find that link. He already suspects we are looking at him. We are running out of time" she pleads
She notices Lindsay starts to lean closer to them "I'm not sure if we can…"
"What if there are other cases going back a few years now?" Benson interrupts Lindsay
Carisi looks over at her "that would definitely help, is that what you got?" He asks.
Benson holds up her phone "That was Kat, she found an annual Golf tournament and a construction company with payments linking the two" she explains
"Jones was an employee at both?" Carisi asks
"Yep and the final straw is the unsolved case a few years ago took place at one of the buildings that the construction crew was working on." She tells them.
"that enough" Amanda asks now looking at Lindsay
Carisi doesn't let her answer "Yeah it will be" he says walking towards the door.
