Chapter 4

It had been three hours of pointless searching for Holly. No one had seen or heard anything. Now they all sat in the squad room, quietly thinking to themselves whilst catching up on paperwork or in Olivia's case feeding Sara.

They were all startled when the phone on Elliot's desk rang. He answered it and they all watched him with deep concentration.

"Okay, thanks. Yeah we'll be right there. Yeah," he said before hanging up.

"Bad news?" Fin asked him.

"You tell me." Elliot said, confusing them all slightly.

"What is it?" Olivia asked.

"Somebody just murdered Ed Falcon in his home. Officers just found him now. Carved up like a roast. " he told them.

Immediately they all began thinking the same thing. Holly…

- - - - - -

Olivia and Elliot arrived at Ed's house. Luckily Casey had shown up at the SVU and was more than happy to take care of Sara for a while. They had both been showed into Ed's house by other officers and now they both stood there and watched as Melinda peeled away a white and bloodied sheet to reveal Ed Falcon.

"COD?" Elliot asked.

"He was stabbed. I'm not sure how many times just yet but my rough estimate so far is 24, and that's just the front. Not to mention he was shot first." she informed them.

"Where?" Elliot asked.

Melinda threw the sheet back further to reveal a hole where Ed's golden members should be.

"That's just wrong on so many levels." Elliot said as he looked away.

Olivia couldn't help but think the pig deserved it. "You get anything else?" she asked Melinda.

"We got some fibers, some prints. I'll let you know as soon as we know who and what they belong to." she said with a smile.

Olivia and Elliot both nodded before turning to walk out.

"Elliot, Olivia… Did you find holly yet?" Melinda asked.

They both shook their head. They knew that Melinda was thinking the exact same thing they all were. That Holly had killed him.

- - - - - -

Elliot and Olivia both got back into their car, ready to go to the SVU. Olivia stayed silent and Elliot wouldn't start the car up till he knew what was on her mind. "What is it?" he asked her.

"I should've done more to help Holly. At the hospital, I should've done more."

"Don't blame yourself for this."

"I got through to her Elliot. I should have taken her back to the SVU and introduced her to Sara and made her see sense. Now she's out there…with blood on her hands." she said, angry at herself.

"Liv. Maybe we're thinking about this all wrong. Anyone of them girls could have killed Falcon. We never even questioned Holly so how would she know who he was…?"

"El, I just know it was her."

"When we find her we'll ask her." Elliot said confidently.

"You mean if…if we find her Elliot. She's smart she'll run." Olivia said.

"Then we'll make sure she can't." Elliot said as he started up the car.

A day passed and still there were no sightings of Holly. Sara was getting bigger by the hour and becoming her own little character already. Olivia still brought her to work and child services had informed her it would be even longer before they could take her. Something Olivia found most pleasing but something the others couldn't help but see as a bad thing.

It was almost 9.30pm and the squad room was relatively quiet. It was, however going to be an all-nighter for Elliot, Liv, Fin and Munch but that didn't really bother them. They were all more than used to it by now.

Olivia had gone up to the cribs to try and get a very tired and very cranky Sara to sleep. Elliot however now needed to talk to her so he wandered clumsily up the stairs, sleep deprived and exhausted.

He gently knocked on the door, but upon getting no answer walked in. Straight away he saw his partner, asleep on a cot with Sara sleeping next to her. He had to smile. They did make one of the cutest couples he had seen.

He couldn't bring himself to wake her up anymore. He walked over to them and placed a blanket over them both. Making sure they were both warm and tucked in before walking over to the door, turning the light off and letting them sleep.

- - - - - -

A little while later Olivia had woke up and come back down. She had baby-proofed one of the cots for Sara and was using a spare system that Elliot had brought in to listen out for her. She was also keeping a close eye on the stairs going up to the cribs.

Time seemed to be going backwards for them. Every minute they didn't find Holly was another minute she could be using to get as far away as she could from them.

Almost two more hours passed without anything then the phone on Olivia's desk rang. She picked it up and answered, "Olivia Benson, Special victims."

They all watched for a second. "Okay, thank you. Bye." Olivia said as she stood up and threw her jacket on. The others all quickly copied.

"Where's the fire?" Melinda asked as she walked in.

"We all have to go. Can you keep and eye on Sara? She's asleep but she may be awake soon. If she does wake up there's a bottle in the bag." Olivia said to her before the four of them ran past Melinda.

"I have the autopsy reports!" she yelled them.

"We'll be back soon!" Elliot called back to her before they all disappeared into the lift. It had barely moved when Sara began crying. Melinda threw the autopsy file onto Olivia's desk before allowing her coat to join it there. She turned and walked up the stairs, the crying got louder. "I'm coming." she yelled ahead to Sara.

Sorry it's taken a while for me to update. I've had writers block on all except one story that I'm writing at the moment but in the words of Celine Dion "It's all coming back to me now." :)

Thanks for reading. Please review.
