Two Days Later…
"What have we got?" Liv asked as she arrived at the crime scene with Detective Hoyt.
"Rape homicide. Vaginal trauma and strangulation. Beat her up pretty bad before he killed her. I'll know more once I get her to the morgue. Killer left a rose with a note." Jordan broke it down for her.
"What does it say?" Liv asked interested.
"No hard feelings." Cavanaugh read. "Huh, I don't think this is his first. I think I remember a couple other bodies with the same message." Jordan thought out loud.
"It's not. Jordan get all the evidence that you can, and test everything. Pull the other autopsy reports. I'm gonna contact Warner have her send us her records. Then I'm going to have Cragen send us our files and find out when this guy got out." Olivia told her as she got her phone out.
"You know who did this?" Woody asked slightly confused.
"Richard White. Two counts of rape and one count murder. We could only get him on the one rape. There wasn't enough evidence to get him for the rape and murder of ADA Karen Fitzgerald. Come on Woody, let's get back to station, and I'll fill you in on what I remember while we wait for the files." Benson explained to the pair, and then made for the sedan. Jordan waved them off as Hoyt joined Olivia in the car.
Squad Room…
"You and Ms. Carmichael are close?" Hoyt asked his partner.
"What?" Liv asked looking up from a file.
"You two seemed close.' Woody repeated.
"Yeah we are. She's the only family that I have." Liv answered him.
"You kissed her. There's gotta be more." Hoyt pressed.
"One that was a friendly 'hello' kiss. Two, yes we dated but that was a long time ago." Olivia explained.
"What's going on between you and Jordan? How do you know her?" Woody continued,
"That's something that she needs to tell you. I won't tell something she won't. You want to know you ask her." Benson told him.
"She won't talk about it." Woody replied.
"Then I got nothing to tell you." Olivia reinforced her position on the subject.
"Did you two have sex?" Hoyt persisted.
"Talk to her." Benson told him as she held up a finger when her phone began ringing. "Benson. Hey. Yeah it's going okay. You managed to get the following week off, that's great. I might have to have Abbie pick you up. All right, I'll see you soon. Bye." Olivia said into her phone.
"Who was that?" Woody asked.
"My girlfriend." Liv replied.
