It was 7:40 when Olivia woke up. She groaned as she swung her legs over the side of her bed. She ran her hands through her hair and walked into the living room. Elliot was strewn out on the couch, his leg was hanging over the side and his arm was draped over his face. She trudged into the kitchen and started to make coffee. When it was done, she poured twp cups and went back into the living room. She kneeled next to Elliot and held the cup under his nose. He sniffed and stretched his arms over his head. His eyes fluttered open.

"Morning." She handed him the coffee as he sat up.

"Morning." He yawned. "What time is it?"

"Ten till eight."

He rubbed his face in an attempt to wake himself up. "You don't by any chance have a razor do you?"

"One for you, you mean? No."

"Thanks."

"Anytime."

He grinned and stood up, stretching. "We need to get going." He looked around. "Where's my tie?"


When they walked into the precinct, Munch ran up to them.

"I checked DeVries' bank records like you told me. Well he's been dishing out $5,000 checks to Joanne for the past year." He handed Elliot the bank's report. "And that's not all." He paused.

Elliot raised his eyebrows. "And…"

"DeVries made his first paymentto a storage compartment yesterday."

Store 'N Go 54th and Broadway 12/18/04

"Did he say what he wanted to store here?" Elliot asked the manager.

"No and I didn't ask." He stopped in front of a compartment. "This is it."

Elliot took thelock cutter and cut the Master's lock off. He opened the door and stepped inside, his gun drawn. Olivia stepped in behind him and turned on the light. There were cardboard boxes stacked upon each other but no sign of Riley.

"Dammit!"

"Elliot look at this!"

Behind a stack of boxes was a little trail of blood.

"Son of a bitch! He came here after we talked to him this morning." His jaw clenched as he dialed Munch's number on his phone. "John, DeVries took Riley from here. I need you and Fin to see if he went to work at all from 2:30 this morning till now…me and Liv will take his house." He slapped his phone shut. "Let's go."

Outside of DeVries loft, Elliot pounded on the door.

"DeVries open up!" He waited a few seconds, then kicked the door down. He ran in. The place was a mess. In DeVries room all the drawers were empty. "Bastards left."

"Elliot, Munch just called. He never came into his office."

"Call the captain. Tell him to call the Canadian border patrol. We need Casey to freeze his accounts."

"Ok border patrol is alert." She paused. "Do you really think he'll head to Canada?"

He shrugged. "I dunno. I hope not."

She nodded. "Let's canvas the building."

1-6 Precinct 12/18/04 11:30 A.M.

Elliot sat in his chair, feet propped on his desk. Olivia sat on the corner of his desk.

"What did the two of you get from the canvas?" Cragen asked.

"Neighbor says he saw DeVries leave 15 minutes after we left. Said he looked really shaken."

John and fin walked into the bullpen, smiling. They handed Cragen a paper. "TARU dumped DeVries cell phone and found out he has a GPS tracker on it. Idiot forgot to turn it off."

"Where is he?"

"Maine-looks like in a wooded area. Most likely a cabin."

The captain looked at Elliot and Olivia. "You two up for a trip?"
