A/N: Hey peoples! As you can see OOWSVU is back in action. Next week I have three mid terms so this will be the last chapter for a little over a week from now until I am done with school stuff like that. I am so glad that for those of you have wrote into me that you think this new fic is epi worthy. It is nice to hear things like that, to know I have some people who think my writings are that good.

Chapter 3

"Same sob story from the both of them!" Munch complained. "Nice girl, seemingly no connections to the other vics, and no idea as to who might want to kill her!"

"What did Trevor say to you before we left, Alex?" Olivia asked Alex as she sat down on the edge of Olivia's desk.

Alex took in a deep breath. "Nothing important," she said as she thought about him. He was right and she knew it. They had meant so much to each other at one time. It may have been for a short time but he was sweet and kind and he treated her like a woman should be treated. She longed for that again but she had so many bad experiences since then that she didn't know if she could let anyone back in, even him. She shook her head. "He's just worried about the other women in his office and he said he hopes nothing happens to me or my girls at all either," she smiled.

Elliot made a smooching face at her.

Alex took off her shoe and threw it at him.

"Play nice kids," Don said walking out of his office. "Elliot did you get anything from anyone else in the office?"

"I uh talked to the head receptionist and she is just as scared as anyone there. She and the victim, Colleen, hung out some times after work but they weren't too close but again she can't see anyone wanting to kill her either," Elliot told them.

"Ok, so what's next?" Don said looking at all of them.

"We'll go talk to her parents," Fin said reluctantly. "Even though we will probably get the same 'she was a perfect angel' speech."

"You think she may have been into something that no one knew about?" Alex asked him as he put his coat on.

"I don't know but there has to be more to this," Fin said shaking his head.

"Like a ring of 'Law students by day, hookers by night'," Elliot jokingly suggested.

"Maybe," Fin said as him and Munch went for the door.

"Do you think Fin has a point?" Alex asked.

"Go back to your office, Alex, and see if they know anything more about any of these girls or their possible connection," Don told her. "Olivia, go with her."

Olivia nodded and got up after her and they walked out together. They got to the elevator and She looked right at Alex. "What did he say to you?"

"He said that he's here for me if I needed anything and that I meant a lot to him once and he doesn't want anything to happen to me," Alex admitted to her.

Olivia laughed as they walked into the elevator. "He still loves you," she teased.

Alex shoved her in the shoulder. "Shut up!"

Nini Residence

"Hello Mr. Nini, may we come in?" Munch said politely as the man at the door slowly opened the door further for the two men to walk in.

They walked into the living room which looked like it was either never used or used very rarely around special occasions. Flower baskets were everywhere in sight.

"Please detectives, have a seat. What can I do for you?" Mr. Nini said with eyes that looked like he had just wiped tears from before they walked.

"Sir, we need to ask you a few questions about your daughter's personal life," Fin said trying to sound sympathetic.

Mr. Nini nodded not know what to say.

"Was she seeing anyone? Anyone that maybe she just met and not many people knew about just yet like people at her work or school?" Munch asked.

Mr. Nini shook his head. "I don't think so. I mean she has been coming home later in the last few weeks but she says that is because of cases that are piling up."

"Did it seem to you like it was something else possibly wrong?" Fin continued.

"I don't know. I-I guess she seemed a little distracted even on her days off but again that could be contributed to the stress of work," Mr. Nini shrugged.

"Thank you sir," Munch said getting up and shaking the man's hand.

Munch and Fin left the house and went back to their car.

"Coming home late with a lot on her mind. I don't like those odds," Fin said as they got in.

DA's Office

"I don't know what to tell you Alexandra," DA Jack McCoy said almost scolding like.

"Have there been any threats in this office towards any of the female ADAs?" Alex asked him passing the floor of Jack's office almost to the point of digging a hole into it.

"Don't you think I would have told you by now? Besides ADAs in this office and offices throughout the state and the country get threatened on a daily basis! You of all people should know that," Jack pointed out to her.

"This isn't about me Jack!" She snapped at him.

"Of course it is Alex. You are a lawyer living in the Manhattan area so that qualifies you as a target as well with what the police have got so far," Jack said pointing out Olivia's presence in the room.

"We are doing all we can Jack. We are getting nowhere with a possible connection and…" Olivia snapped at him as her phone rang. "Excuse me." She answered it, "Benson." It was Fin calling her as they left the Nini Residence.

"According to her father she had been out late a lot lately. Some cases may have piled up or something. All he knew was that she looked like she had a lot on her mind," Fin told Olivia.

"Thanks Fin. Catch up with you at the house," Olivia said to him and hung up her phone. "Come on Alex we have to go back to see Trevor."

"What's up?" Alex asked her as they walked out of Jack's office without as much as a second glance back at him.

"Colleen had some late nights recently. I want to know if they were really work related or possibly something more," Olivia told her as they got into the elevator to leave.
