"I like him for it" Liv said simply, her mouth almost covered by the hand she was leaning her chin on at her desk. Some agreed, but most thought it was far too early to assume anything. But Liv being Liv and as usual acting on her gut feeling was certain she needed to pursue this one.

"We can't jump the gun, question him further, tell him the girlfriend has dropped him in it and see where he goes from there" Cragen told her, Olivia immediately retorted, she didn't want to drop her daughter in it! Elliot saw her reaction and knew exactly what she was thinking, as did the Captain; this was what he had been afraid of when letting her have any involvement in this case.

"Can't I worm it out of him without saying what Danielle told us?" she tried, El let out a loud sigh, to which Liv snapped her head in his direction. "What?" she huffed; defensive. Elliot stayed silent, not wanting 'she who must not be questioned' getting angry. Captain however, stepped up.

"Liv, I want you to understand that I have put you on this case under the strict agreement that you follow my orders exactly. Danielle is not going to be in any danger if the team have anything to do with it and you have two choices; go in there and question him how I have instructed, or you can step down from the case" he explained, his voice never wavering. Confident that he knew which direction she would take. Olivia had that look covering her face; she was considering what he had said, but she certainly wasn't happy about it!

"Fine"

Cragen had been right. "El are you coming?" she asked as she made her way in the direction of the interrogation room where Greg had been moved to.

"Okay Gregory I'm going to ask you again and this time I expect the truth; where were you on the night that Louise Raymont was murdered?" Olivia asked with conviction heavy in her voice. Harris appeared confident, he wasn't about to give up without a fight. The two detectives knew this of course and were ready to dish out whatever they had to in order to catch him out.

"I already told you lady! I was at my girlfriends house." he insisted, they knew he would.

"See, 'Greg'..." Olivia said his shortened name in a mocking tone "...you did already tell us that and somehow we still have reason enough to be holding you here for questioning, why do you think that is?" she asked him, wondering what kind of crap excuse he was about to weave them.

Gregory forward in his seat, confidence covering his face but his twitching hands told them otherwise.

"Look, I dunno what thread Danielle's been threading you, but I know I was there and so does she; so until you got any hard evidence I was in that park at the exact time that girl was done, you can't treat me like I did anything..." he explained, he was right in a sense; they didn't have any leads saying he was in the park. Yes he may have been sighted on streets nearby, but as it stood they only had Danielle's word that he wasn't at her apartment. They couldn't let him think that though. "...and you aren't ever gonna have evidence I was there. That I'm sure of" he said with a smirk, then leaned back in his seat.

Liv and Elliot both heard it; both the certainty that he wasn't the man that had raped and killed Louise and the emphasis on the word 'I'. But why?

"You ever smoke pot Greg?" Elliot chose to take a different road. Liv glanced at her partner through the corner of her eyes. The young man became shifty.

"I don't think that has anything to do with this" he stated. Did it? Olivia wondered.

"What if I told you we have footage of you in what looks like a drugs deal on 17th on the night in question?" Stabler played; proud of himself. Liv gave him a confused glare. Why didn't she know about this?!

Harris immediately looked stunned.

"I think it's best I get a lawyer" was all he said. Olivia shut her eyes...that was one variation of the sentence that every questioning detective dreaded.

"Is there really footage or were you just riling him up?" she questioned. Elliot bit his lip in and contemplated running, knowing that Liv hated being out of the loop.

"We do yeah"

"Why the hell did you let me go in there without informing me we could have evidence to pull him on something...anything?!"

As they walked from the interrogation room through to squad Elliot could feel his partners eyes burning into him, she wasn't happy! "So were any of you going to inform me on our recent...if it even was recent lead on our cocky drop out?" the team turned to look at her, Cragen stepped forward with a VHR tape in his grasp.

"This isn't a lead Liv, all this tells us is that Gregory Harris was in the area doing exactly what the girlfriend has told us" he said in a dull tone, Olivia pouted her lips and tilted her head.

"The girlfriend? Captain she has a name! Danielle! Danielle told us that he went out to pick up Marijuana. She also told us that he was gone for a good 90 minutes! When he is staying in an apartment less than 10 minutes away from where CCTV placed him what the hell do you think he was doing the rest the god damn time?" she waved her arms around as she almost yelled, getting impatient that no one seamed to see what she did.

"Liv, we don't have his DNA at the scene, he wasn't sighted there and Warner said that from what she can see Louise was killed in the early hours. His return at 1.30 doesn't give him a lot of time to do all of the things our perp must have done to the vic, clean up and return home" Munch explained to her, he was right. She knew that on some level, but for some reason this guy made her skin crawl, and not in the normal 'creep going out with the daughter' way. God knows that there was nothing 'normal' about this situation.

"Fine!" she finally gave in; or so they thought "but can we at least take him for the drugs?" she tried, Cragen pulled an unsure face.

"We'd have to get something else, find something in his possession at least. This tape shows him standing with another man, nothing else" he said with regret. It wasn't looking like Liv would get what she wanted.
