Chapter Ten: Truths
Alex sat in her parents living room, anxiously waiting on the arrival of Louis, Villo, and Lynn. She knew that this was the right thing to do. She knew that she had to tell everyone what was happening, and this was the best way to do so. She heard a knock at the door, and she realized that the time has come. She answered and saw the three of them standing there.
"Hey." Alex said softly. "Come in."
"You wanted to talk to us?" Louis asked in a soft, but angered tone.
"Yeah, I have to come clean about something." Alex said. Louis, Villo, and Lynn sat in their seats as Jerry and Theresa watched.
"They are all here, tell them." Jerry said sternly.
"Alex, what is going on?" Lynn asked. Alex eyes teared up, and she finally spoke.
"Look, I know the reason why David left." Alex choked out. "See, it was the week after the Dark Tournament, and I told him that I couldn't be with him anymore because he was a demon. I could see that he was hurt really bad. The next moment, he was gone. I am so sorry, he gone, and it is my fault that we have no idea where he went."
Jerry and Theresa both watched how Louis, Villo, and Lynn reacted. The only one who showed an open reaction was Louis. He got up from his seat and ran both hands over his face.
"I knew it." Louis said, anger rising in every word. "I knew it. I knew you had something to do with this. He came back home that night, and I saw it in his eyes. He never told me anything, but I knew that you had something to do with this."
Lynn never said a word. She got up, and left the house. Villo followed her. Before Louis left, he had this to say.
"You know, I wipe my hands of you people. All David did was help you people out, and when he showed a little interest in your daughter, you decided that he was a bad guy. He never hurt her. All he did was protect her. You might have answered to us, but David's another story."

Just as Olivia Benson was arriving at her apartment building, she saw a young boy, no older than 16, sitting on the steps. He was wearing black jeans, a blue NY Giants hoodie, a skull cap, and a pair of black shoes. Also, one of his arms were completely taped. Something about his appearance made her stop and talk to him.
"Can I help you?" Olivia asked.
"You call yourself New York finest, but you make mistakes that rookies laugh at." He said with a chuckle.
"Excuse me?" Olivia said.
"The murder that you and Stabler are working on." He said, getting up. "If you took the time to go back to where the murder had happened at the time it happened, you would see that it was too dark to make an absolute ID of any suspect."
"How would you know that?" Olivia asked.
"Because unlike you, I am smart and I do my homework." He said proudly. "Now, let me tell you something. Helsing and Merlin are out to frame David because they have history with him."
"How do you know that?" Olivia asked.
"I am David Falcone." He said. And just like that, he disappeared.
