Olivia was shattered when she walked into the house, she hadn't seen her husband since she'd dropped the bombshell that she would be taking over as his superior as he had been running down some leads with Fin. All the Detectives seemed genuinely pleased and the brass were ecstatic that she'd agreed to take on the job, they were convinced she'd turn them down.
"Mom!" Melly smiled coming over and embracing her mother.
"Hey Mel have a good day with granny?" Olivia asked as she held her eldest child.
"Yeah, well she spent the day running around after Eli and Ali while me, Nikki, Lili and Lexi kept out of her way." Melly laughed knowing her mother loved hearing what type of day they'd had.
"That's brilliant, I'm glad you kept out of the way but maybe next time you can try and help Granny with the babies?" Olivia suggested, looking after the six girls was tough for her, she couldn't begin to imagine how tough it was for her aging mother who was still trying to persuade Olivia to hire a nanny, but Olivia couldn't allow herself to get attached to another nanny the way she had Danni, the nanny Melly had when she had been pregnant with Nicole who'd ended up getting killed because of how close she was to Olivia.
"Mommy!" Nikki yelled running over followed quickly by Lili and Lexi.
"Hey babies." Olivia smiled greeting every single one of them one by one before going to find the two wondering toddlers.
She burst out laughing when she saw her Mother in the kitchen trying to clean up what looked like an explosion in a flour factory.
"Eli and Ali wanted to make cookies for Momma." Anne explained as she emptied the dustpan into the bin.
"Looks like they had fun, where are they?" Olivia asked wanting to see her youngest kids.
"With your father upstairs having a bath, they were covered in egg, flour and chocolate chip cookies that I was tempted to shove them in the oven!" Anne laughed as Olivia grinned cheekily.
"I'm going to say hello to them, have the kids eaten?"
"Yeah, Ali and Eli are being bathed, story and then bed, they've had a busy day they'll sleep well. Then it's Lexi, Lili and Nikki's turn and then Melly will have a bath a little later." Anne smiled.
"Oh it's so nice to be home before they go to bed Mom, it's been three weeks since I've seen my kids on a Saturday." Olivia sighed, it had been a very busy summer for the SVU detectives.
"I know, they've missed you, why don't you go help your dad finish bathe the babies then read them their story?" Anne suggested and Olivia nodded before rushing off upstairs to the kids bathroom.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the mess of the bathroom and her father. It was soaking.
"Ok guys flour and egg and now water? I'm sure you two should have been boys!" Olivia laughed as she went to rescue Cragen from the tidal wave that the girls were creating.
She leant over the edge of the bath and kissed both her babies before they decided she should get wet and splashed her too.
"Nice guys!" She groaned as Cragen and the girls laughed. "It's not funny you little monsters!" She laughed splashing them back.

9.49 pm
Olivia sat cuddled up with Elliot on one couch while Anne and Cragen sat on the other, they TV was on, some crime drama but Olivia was too wrapped up in her copy of the last Harry Potter book for what was probably the hundredth time, she had been reading it with Melly but when Melly had finally dropped off to sleep she wasn't really interested in putting it down again, it was too good a book. When the song I will survive bleared around the room everyone jumped and looked at a blushing Olivia who had dived for her cell phone.
"Cragen." She answered, that was routine now, she'd gotten out of the habit of using Benson a long time ago. "What? No I'll be there, ok bye."
"What is it?" Don and Elliot asked in unison.
"We've got a MP ten thirty five in Washington Heights." Olivia replied pulling on her shoes as Elliot dived over the side of the couch and Don slowly sat up to grab his shoes.
"Dad..." Olivia sighed.
"I don't officially retire till the end of the week Liv, brass may have called you but they'll be expecting me there." He smirked knowing Olivia thought he wasn't ready to give this up.
"I know, I need someone to show me how the job is done." She smiled as she strapped her gun on her hip and pulled on her NYPD coat and badge.

Olivia could see the crime scene before she'd even pulled up. Quickly, she, Elliot and Don climbed out of the car and flashed their badges towards the uniform on guard.
"What have we got?" Olivia asked the uniformed officer stood with Fin and Munch.
"Little kid was seen leaving that bodega, the man went to close up early and saw the kid being dragged into this alley."
"Has someone called CSU?" Olivia asked impatiently because the crime scene unit should have been all over this scene by now.
"They're on their way, there was a minor bus explosion in SoHo so the night unit were over there." Fin explained knowing that Olivia was Captain and would want to make a good impression.
"Ok anything else?" Olivia sighed.
"Yeah the man who owns the bodega got robbed a few weeks ago and had new high quality CCTV installed and it happens one of the camera's face this alley." Fin replied.
"Ok Munch and Fin continue questioning people find out if anyone saw anything, Elliot, you and I can go and see this CCTV footage." Olivia smiled and winked over at Cragen who was talking with someone and gave her a brief thumbs up.
The bodega owner was giving a uniformed officer a statement when the two detectives walked in.
"Excuse me sir we need to see the CCTV footage." Olivia explained.
"Of course just here." Said the man with a Middle Eastern accent.
Olivia and Elliot watched as the man played the footage, it was high quality which was a good thing but when they watched all that could actually be seen from the position of the camera was the girl and the girl being dragged to the alley.
"Now you see her, now you don't." Elliot sighed angrily.
"Ok you there," Olivia pointed at the uniformed officer. "Finish taking this man's statement and then get these tapes down to Morales in TARU, tell them I want them ASAP and we need to get the AMBER alert out." Olivia sighed before hurrying out followed quickly by Elliot.
"You know, being in charge really suits you." Elliot smiled his arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks but no lovely dovey stuff sweetie this is a high priority case and the brass are going to be all over this one and it's my first as Captain, I want to prove to them I can do this job." Olivia explained as his arm dropped lazily from her shoulders.
"You're going to be an amazing Captain Liv, don't doubt yourself please." Elliot whispered in her ear.
"I'm not doubting myself Elliot, I have no reason to doubt myself but I can't help be a little uncertain but at least I have my Dad to walk me through everything for a week." Olivia smiled just as Chief Dodson walked towards her.
"Soon to be Captain Cragen, Sergeant Stabler." He smiled extending his hand to her and then to him, Olivia wouldn't officially be Captain until she'd been given her new shield and uniform.
"Chief." She replied shaking his hand firmly.
"I see you have everything under control here." He smiled.
"Yes, we have footage for TARU and we're just waiting for CSU to get here, I've got Detectives working on finding eye witnesses and hopefully we'll be able to have this girl home to bed before morning." Olivia smiled even though it was rare they'd find a girl who'd visibly been kidnapped in twelve hours.
"Have you found the parents?"
"No, we need to and get the AMBER alert out because without a photo we're not going to get anything, someone knows who this girl is and why she was here." Olivia sighed. "Just who?"
She slowly began scanning the crowd as did Elliot, some people would just hang around when they knew something.
"Hey El." Olivia caught his attention. "Man at my four o'clock wearing a green coat and sweats." Olivia whispered.
"I see him, go left I'll go right." He replied.
"On it, excuse me chief." She nodded her head towards her superior and slowly made her way to catch someone she was sure knew something about this girl's disappearance.
Elliot and Olivia slowly crept towards the man who was watching the entrance of the alley with a look of pure fear in his eyes. When both of them were about three feet away from the guy he tried to bolt but Fin had seen what Liv and El were doing and had come to back their play causing the guy to run straight into Fin's chest.
"Good job Fin." Olivia smiled giving him a smack on the shoulder.
"Uh Thanks Captain." He smiled.
"It's still Liv or Olivia please don't start calling me Captain." She said in almost a plea, she didn't want her friends and co-workers to treat her any different just because she'd had the promotion.
"Oh sorry Liv." He shrugged. "Now?" He nodded his head towards the man.
"Get him into interrogation and find out what he knows, take Munch with you." Olivia sighed, she still had work to do here.
"Livia, why don't you and I take him and Munch and Fin can wait on CSU?" Elliot suggested, he didn't want Olivia hanging out in the cold air with her carrying his unborn child.
"Yeah fine." Olivia nodded knowing he was right in thinking that it would be better having the two of them finding out what this guy knew.

Olivia and Elliot stared at the man through the two way. Olivia was trying to figure out what it was he could know, she doubted that he was the kidnapper, that was one thing she was almost certain of but there was definitely something he knew. An idea came into mind that had Olivia rushing into the room with Elliot hot on her heels.
"Who is she?" Olivia asked him.
"What?"
Olivia dived in front of the man leaning against the table her nose was almost touching his and the anger in her eyes was evident.
"Who is she? The little girl who was kidnapped you know who she is now tell me!" Olivia yelled angrily.
The man looked over at Elliot who was stood watching his arms crossed in front of his chest. He knew that Elliot wouldn't helped him and he sighed.
"She's my sister, her name is Anna, Annabel Collins." The man said.
"You knew your little sister was kidnapped and you stood and watched, why didn't you come and tell someone?" Olivia asked backing off a little.
The man pulled a picture from his wallet and Olivia looked at the blonde haired blue eyed girl grinning happily from a school portrait.
"She's nine years old." He continued.
"Get this out on air for the AMBER alert." Olivia sighed handing the photo over to Elliot.
He rushed out leaving Olivia with the brother of their missing person.
"What's your name?" Olivia asked sitting down opposite the man.
"Eric, Eric Collins." He sighed.
"Ok and what do you know about Anna's disappearance?" Olivia asked knowing that Eric knew more than he was saying by the way he was ruffling his dirty blonde hair and rubbing his forehead.
"My parents, they're con artists, they work internationally, never been caught out before but someone was on to them, some gang leader and they're the ones who have Anna, I'm sure of it." He explained. "I couldn't come in here and tell you without giving up my parents."
"How much danger is Annabel in?" Olivia questioned knowing that Eric already knew.
"She'll still be alive for a few hours, my parents will know who's got her, they won't give it up easily because they will do what they can to rescue her themselves." Eric sighed. "Please you have got to find her before they kill her, she's my world Captain Cragen my absolute world, I brought her up I still do when my parents are out of town running their next con and I need her Captain, I need Anna back!" Eric burst out into tears and Olivia felt her heart hammering inside her chest, she knew what she had to do and that was talk to the parents but she would need Eric to tell her everything first.
So guys what do you think? This is called Losing part II because there is going to be a lot more death and destruction in this as there was in the first story, sorry, if it isn't your type of thing then maybe the sequel isn't your cup of tea.
