Chapter 2

"ME says all of the blood found at the scene is hers," Olivia told the other detectives as she walked into the squad room. "The heart was taken as if it was a transplant, very meticulously. He used a scapula or another small sharp object just like the other two."

Elliot rolled his eyes. "So a doctor's after all the lawyers in town?"

"Has anyone given this information to Alex yet?" Sergeant John Munch pointed out.

"My office is up in arms about this already. What have we got on this guy because Jack wants anything and everything you have ASAP," Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot said walking in behind him.

They all looked at her like she had something on her that no one wanted to touch but they couldn't help but stare at. She was a lawyer. Could this happen to her or anyone else in the DA's office?

"Sergeant Pepper's at it again!" Captain Donald Cragen said as he slapped a news paper down on Elliot desk.

"Sergeant Pepper?" Olivia said taken back with a smile on her face at the reference.

"Yeah you know, 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely 'HEARTS' Club'," Elliot almost laughed himself and then he came back down when he realized what he was saying.

They all looked back at Alex at that moment. Again they had the look on their faces. Would this guy go so far as to kill an ADA a Bureau Chief at that? They wanted to believe that this guy was going to either stay low or stop all together before they caught him.

"I'm fine guys!" Alex finally snapped to get them all back on the task at hand.

"This is all just crazy. Why lawyers? Why now? What made this guy snap in the first place?" Detective Odafin Tutuola said going a mile a minute.

"That is what I want you all to find out. Go to the school Fin and Munch. Liv, Elliot, you two go to the law firm she was interning for, Langan and Associates. Go with them Alex. Play nice with Trevor girls," he said looking at Olivia and Alex knew Olivia didn't like him and Alex had dated him. He shook his head and went back into his office.

Langan & Associates

"Tragic about Colleen," Attorney Trevor Langan said with a sigh. "She was a good kid with a promising future with us here."

"Had she had any threats lately by any angry clients?" Olivia asked as they walked down the hall to Trevor's office.

Trevor shook his head as he shut the door behind them. "Not that I know of and I am sure she would have told me if something like that had happened." He let another deep sigh roll out. "This is the third one in New York hopefully it won't hit my office again, or yours at all Alex."

Alex licked her lips nervously. "Let's hope not."

"Are you ok Alex? Did someone threaten you?" Trevor said leaning in towards her from across his desk.

"I'm fine! Why is everyone asking me that?" She shouted noticeably on the verge of tears.

Trevor offered her a box of tissues. "I'm sorry to have upset you. This thing has got us all on edge right now."

"If you want me to say it I'll say it, I'm scared! I'm scared for me and all the girls on my staff," Alex cried out.

Alex and Olivia got up and walked up to the door.

"Thanks Trevor," Olivia said softly. "Keep me in the loop if anything turns up here."

"I will," Trevor nodded to Olivia. "Hey Alex," he said taking her by the arm. "If you need anything don't hesitate to call me. I'm here for you. You know that right?"

Alex smiled up at him threw the tears and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

"Your heart meant a lot to me once," Trevor whispered.

Alex walked down the hall after Olivia and met her at the elevator. She choked on one last tear as they walked into the elevator and made their way back to the precinct.

Hudson School of Law

"Colleen was a gifted caring person and pupil. She was the one student out of my classes that I thought wouldn't even think of touching Langan & Associates with a ten-foot-pole. She wasn't here for the money and the glory. She genuinely wanted to help people in need," Professor Glen Shafer told the detectives as they enter his office and sat down around his desk.

"So you wouldn't know if she had been threatened lately, would you?" Munch asked him staring him down.

"Heavens no! Like I said she was nice to everyone she met and I can't see anyone threatening her with any sort of harm. What about the two other girls who died the same tragic way? Were they threatened by someone? Did they have any connection to Colleen?" Prof. Shafer asked nervously.

"No threats on any of them. And no there is no visible connection between the women," Fin told him.

"Thank you professor. If you have anything for us don't hesitate to call," Munch said handing him his card.

"No threats on any of the victims and everyone we have talked to says that all of them were saints who would kill a fly," Fin said as they got to the stairs.

"Let's get back and see what Eland the girls got from Langan," Munch scoffed as they walked out to their car.
