Elliot's Apartment

The ring of Elliot's cell phone awoke him. He grabbed it off the nightstand and opened it.

"Stabler. Yeah. I'll be right there." It was another victim. Elliot threw on a pair of sweats and headed downstairs and out to his car. It wasn't long until he arrived at the crime scene. There was a swarm of police cars outside an alley about 20 yards away. Elliot got out of his car and walked towards the area. Cops were starting to put up crime scene tape around the alley.

He met Fin at the entrance to the alley.

"So what happened?" Elliot asked Fin.

"The victim was raped and murdered. But she was also mutilated. Elliot, I don't think you want to see her." he said.

"Who was it?"

"Elliot," he paused. "It was Liv."

Elliot was shocked. But he had to see her no matter what. He pushed through the crowd of uniforms and detectives until he had gotten where he wanted. A tear rolled down his face as he saw the sight he dreaded seeing.

"Olivia?" She was lying on the concrete, undressed. There was blood everywhere. She had so many cuts and wounds from what appeared to be a glass bottle next to her. But that wasn't all. There was a look of terror in her deep chocolate eyes like he had never seen before. Elliot couldn't take it. He broke down, sobbing on the asphalt. No. How could he let this happen to her? His Olivia? Why her? What had she done?

There was a sudden beeping as Elliot opened his eyes. Then he remembered. Was Olivia really dead? Was she okay? He had to see her.

Home of Gina Dreet

New Jersey

"So what can I help you boys with?" asked Gina Dreet. Munch and Fin had driven down to interview Aaron's mother. Alyssa was right about their mother still having scars from her beating. There was a long mark along the right side of the elderly woman's face.

They were in the living room of the woman's ranch home. "Can I get you two some coffee or anything?" she offered.

"No thanks." Fin replied.

"Actually, we're here to ask you a few questions about your son, Aaron." said Munch.

"Okay."

"So—" The doorbell rang.

"Please excuse me for just a second." Gina said as she started for the door. The doorbell rang again. "I'm coming!"

She opened the door. "Aaron?"

CLIFFHANGER! Ha! Sorry if this chapter wasn't my best work, but it's getting late and I'm tired. But now I get to lecture you guys. Two reviews last chapter? TWO?!?! Come on! I know you can do better than that! There are more readers than that out there. At least I hope so. The more reviews I get, the sooner I update! If I don't get enough reviews I may not continue the story. Because only one or two reviews mean that either there aren't many readers or you guys don't like the story. So review! Please???
