Hello! Thank you for your reviews, they really help me know whether I'm going in the right direction :) anyways, here's some more...enjoy

"Mine?" Liv questioned, eyes wide and still trying to get her head around the fact that there were photos of her in Danielles post box. "What?" she rushed towards Melinda's computer screen as if her seeing the technical words would change anything. "But how?" she asked as she leaned against the computer desk.
"I matched your DNA by..." she started, not quite understanding what Olivia had meant.
"I don't mean how did you match my DNA, I mean how did my hair get on the cuffs?!"
This wasn't just coincidence any more, nor was Danielle being left these 'little presents' something to take lightly.
Elliot thought he should be the one to ask the next question, as his partner was completely consumed by confusion as to how her hair was on those cuffs...they weren't the standard issue shape that their team were handed out.
"Melinda do we have a positive DNA match for the other hair type?"
It was then that Olivia snapped out of it; the look on Melinda's face made her skin crawl. She remembered that look from her.
"Lowell Harris"
"I knew it!" she only just managed to contain a scream as she and Elliot shot towards the squad room.
"Now, Liv you don't know that he is behind this. The cuffs could have been picked up anywhere" Elliot knew better than anyone that what he had just said was ridiculous and wouldn't convince anyone, but he wasn't use to having to console his partner. Calm her down, yes...pull her back down to earth, yes but rarely did he have to be the partner that thought clearly and help her through something.
"Captain!" she called the second she got through the door.
"Liv, I was just about to call you, Danielle left; said she had to sort some things out back at hers." Fin cut her up, to which she hardly even looked at him, she was on a mission.
"Lowell Harris!" she growled. The squad room went quiet, they hadn't heard that name in a while and when it was spoken; it was never a good thing.
"What about him?" Cragen asked, stepping out of his office at hearing the commotion.
"His hair! On the cuffs Danielle brought in today! Captain this isn't about Danielle, it's about me" she told him, it definitely looked that way!
"Olivia, Lowell Harris has been under close watch since Sealview. He hasn't been allowed anywhere near you or any of the women involved in the incident." Cragen began to explain, but was cut off both by his own thoughts and Olivia barking what now seemed like obvious facts at him.
"Captain, as far as most people are aware Danielle has nothing to do with me. We have the same last name, that's as far as our relationship goes when it comes to the public. So he can get as close to her as he pleases, only he must know about us otherwise why are these god damn photographs of me practically plastering her walls?!"
She wasn't losing it, she knew that even if no one else did and she would be making damn sure that this man couldn't get anywhere near her little girl any more!
"Liv, the case is open. I know this is worrying; we all do but you know you can't investigate a case that actively involves you. Focus on Louise Raymont, we will deal with Harris."
at that moment; Cragen saying that name on its own, Liv's mind began to whirl around. Her thoughts were piecing together and finally something that only this morning seemed like a simple coincidence was now the most damning piece of evidence she could think of.
"Son of a bitch!" she cursed, ignoring her desk phone. Elliot picked it up and watched as his partner went to leave the room.
"Liv, Melinda wants to see us in the lab"
Fin, Elliot and Olivia all entered the lab silently, although the tension in the room was screaming to get out. Olivia wasn't meant to be there under Captains orders, but since when had she listened to someone else's advice when her heart was shouting louder than them?
"What is it?" Fin asked almost not wanting to know. They all hoped that Warner had got the first matches wrong and they were back at square one just so that they didn't have to watch Liv's face every time she had a flash back or wondered whether Harris could get to her again.
"Whoever wrote this note wasn't all that clever. The envelope was licked to seal" she started, waving said envelope in front of her. "Now, I've taken the DNA from the saliva but there were no criminal matches on the database, however..." she said and turned to face her computer "the DNA taken from the envelope and the DNA now known as Lowell Harris has shown up as a family match" she confirmed what Liv had thought of back in the squad room after Cragen had said his name.
"Gregory Harris" Fin almost whispered.
"Let's get him back in" Elliot told them before all three turned on their heels to get out of there.
