Thanks for all the reviews.
Sorry this has taken so long. I got writers block with this story. My poor little head is so crammed tight with fanfiction and college work.
Disclaimer: Nope not mine.
A/N: Someone kind of pointed out to me the other day, that a character in the first chapter of this story who was killed was Jack McCoy. That's the guys name in the original Law and Order, which I totally had forgot, I don't watch that one a whole lot, so just in case anyone was wondering, it wasn't actually supposed to have been that guy who was killed. I thought I had made the name up…see what a mean about a crammed head, everything gets jumbled.
Anyway just wanted to clear that up, I had to laugh when I realized.
Here goes…
Chapter 13
Everyone was in the squad room, even Olivia who had been restricted as to what she was allowed to do with her arm in a sling, she was still able to help them try and piece the case together though. Too many things still didn't add up in the case; like how Richard White had escaped from prison and how he had found out about all the products of rape.
They kept going back to the note that had been left by the body of the victim at the subway. 'H FEAR N LIES N GOD'
Munch walked over to the board which the note was taped to. "We got 'no hard feelings' from this. He reminded them all.
"We never really just thought about what that could mean." Cragen suddenly thought out loud.
"Well all I ever got when I tried to make sense of that was, maybe if we added a few more letters to it 'his fear never lies in god', it didn't seem to be too relevant though." Fin said.
"Well I personally don't see Richard White as a religious man." Elliot said.
Olivia had to smile. Then she studied the note. "Well if we take away the words…" She said as she walked over to the board. "We're left with just H, N and N." She said.
"No words will come out of that." Fin clarified, the others just looked at him and smiled. He had been obsessed with solving the word jumble.
"No, but we can get initials. Maybe Richard wasn't working alone. These could be the initials of his partner." Munch said.
"Well that isn't very helpful." Cragen decided. They all agreed. It was late, almost midnight. "I think we should call it a night." Cragen said. Again everyone seemed to agree.
"Okay well I'll see you all in the morning." He said.
They all parted and grabbed their coats and things. After saying their goodbyes, everyone left and headed home.

Elliot and Olivia walked into their apartment to find the TV playing to itself and no lights on. "Kate!" Olivia shouted.
Olivia walked over to Kate's room and opened the door. Kate was sat by her open window, with a blanket wrapped around her, Nia was protectively sitting front of her.
She growled as the door opened but seeing it was Olivia and Elliot she got up and walked over to them wagging her tail. Olivia quickly patted her but walked over to Kate. The room was freezing, as she spoke she saw her own warm breath.
"Kate sweetheart, it's freezing in here." She said as she reached over her and shut the window.
Elliot was entertaining Nia but wondering what was going on. He looked around the apartment, everything seemed okay.
Olivia sat down in front of Kate. She could see she had been crying. "Sweetheart what's wrong?" She asked.
"We got a letter." Kate told her. She pointed to the bed, where there was a letter. Elliot walked over to it and picked it up. "No hard feelings, it's not over yet. Two more to go. NNH" Elliot read out.
Olivia froze for a moment. "Kate when did you find that?" She asked her.
"It had been slipped under the door when I got back from walking Nia." She told them.
They had figured Richard hadn't been working alone, thanks to the letter they now knew he hadn't been.
"Sweetheart why are you sat by the window?" Olivia asked her, rubbing Kate's arms with her hands trying to warm her up through the blanket.
"I figured if the person who had written that letter came back and broke into the apartment I could go out the window and down the fire escape. I guess I would have been screwed if they had come up the fire escape." Kate said laughing.
Olivia couldn't help but be worried about her. Kate had put up with a lot of craziness, a lot of craziness that seemed to follow Olivia around. "Come here baby." She said pulling Kate into her and holding her tight. "No one's gonna hurt you." She told her.
Kate just held onto her tight. It wasn't that she didn't trust Olivia, she did with her life, she just didn't trust other people.
TBC
Short, I know, damn writers block. The next one is going to be long though, I almost have that one wrote up.
In the next chapter you'll find out who NNH is.
Please review.
