"Olivia! My office please" Cragens voice bellowed from his doorway. Everyone knew what the following conversation would be about and everyone knew that it would either end in shouting or Liv retreating with a tear stained face.

Detective Benson stood to her feet from her desk and went through to where she had been beckoned.

"Captain" she reported to him in her most professional tone.

"Take a seat" he told her, to which she pursed her lips and remained in the position she was stood.

"I'll stand if it's all the same" she resisted, knowing he was only going to be kind to her and say what he thought was right, but she also knew that this meeting was going to lead to him asking her to stand down from the case which everyone knew wouldn't happen without an almighty battle and even then Cragen didn't stand much of a chance.

"I want you to know that whatever happens during this case, we are all here for you." he began, she rolled her eyes without meaning to; it was her default reaction to anticipating her having to put up a fight for something she wanted.

"I know what you're going to ask of me and you know I can't do that" she commented, her captain looked to the floor before raising his gaze back to her.

"I just don't think you being on the case is a good idea, not to mention it being completely against the rules of procedure. Liv I really want you to think about this. She is your daughter" the last sentence spoken softly, she clamped her lips tight together and shot him a deadly glare; one that hadn't ever worked on him and sure as hell wasn't working now. "You're daughter who you haven't seen in 18 years!" he added. She threw her hands in the air before storming towards him.

"You think I don't know that?!" she yelled into his face, her voice breaking slightly but she managed to catch herself before she broke too.

Cragen stood completely still, he was use to being screamed at; especially by Liv when she didn't get her own way. Any other Captain wouldn't take it but he saw her as a daughter, a headstrong, will-full, stubborn daughter who he hadn't had the chance to shake the bad habits out of but a daughter all the same. He backed down, knowing he wasn't going to win this one.

"Fine, but if head office catches wind of this it's me that's going to have to answer to them...remember that." he reminded her of the professional side of this mess before adding "you do know what you could be getting yourself into? I don't know what you expect this to end like but if you are really going to do this you need to be prepared for..." Live cut him off.

"For her to hate me, not want me and tell me to leave just like I did back then? I'm ready for that. Don't you think I've been psyching myself up for that scenario my whole adult life?" she ranted, he held his hands up in surrender.

"I was going to say 'ready for this being the toughest case you've had to deal with for personal reasons' but yes, that too" he agreed. She nodded, he would let her do this. She knew he would. Liv turned to leave but was stopped by Cragens voice once more. "And Liv, remember; when you do find her, she isn't just your daughter, she is a girl that has quite possibly lost a close friend in thoroughly tragic circumstances. Her needs come first." he finished, she nodded lightly once again

"Captain" she replied as an affirmative and left the office.

"She still has my name." Olivia thought out loud, although she hadn't been speaking to anyone else, a few people turned to look at her.

"Danielle Benson" Munch read from his computer screen. Elliot gave Liv a concerned look, every time that name was spoken she looked like her heart had been trampled.

"You okay?" he asked in little more than a whisper. She bit her lip and then the inside of her cheek to stop herself from letting tears flow.

"Yep" she said quickly then her eyes darted around the room, searching desperately for something to focus on.

"Placed into the care of social services at the age of 2 days old. Was put on a list of children in need of adoption but after 6 months with a Mr and Mrs Garner the couple applied to keep her under a long term foster care agreement." as Munch read out details on the girl they would be looking for if they wanted any light shed on who their Jane Doe was, all Elliot and Fin could do was gaze at Olivia, who was now staring intently at the opposite wall, eyes wide. "Only basic 6 monthly checks on record between then and turning 15. In 2006 she was arrested and detained for assault on a man she believed to have sexually assaulted her classmate." Liv's head twitched quickly towards Munch with a shocked and confused look about her.

"Was she charged?" she asked, as if begging.

"No, the alleged victim dropped the case. However Danielle was arrested again in 2007, similar circumstances. Again in 2008, this time she was charged but in place of a sentence she was ordered to get counselling for whatever makes her act out like this" Liv shot to her feet, shocked at what Munch had just read out.

"For what makes her act out like that? She was trying to help her friends!" she said angrily, but Elliot stepped towards her.

"Liv, this is the sort of thing we cannot let get in the way of the case. YES she is your daughter, but if you want to stay on it then you're gonna need to show Cragen that you're able to cope with the details" Liv swallowed hard, wanting so badly to yell at him too, but refrained. "Munch I don't think the convictions are going to help the case" he added and stood back from Liv, letting her take her seat again.

"I wouldn't have read it out, but the nature of her crimes tie in perfectly with..." Munch read the screen closer to make sure before he read what he saw.

Olivia let out a sigh wanting him to hurry up. "1 week ago Danielle Benson made a report that someone had been following her. In the statement she says she thinks she is being stalked.
