Manhattan SVU
10.21 am
Olivia walked into the precinct carrying Amelia in her car seat, Jessie carried Sophia's car seat but rested it on her hips as she cooed making Sophia laugh.
"Olivia are you ok?" Cragen asked seeing them coming into the precinct.
"I'm fine." Olivia smiled gently as she placed Amelia's car seat on her own desk chair.
As she pulled Amelia out of her car seat she desperately tried to see her own guzzling daughter and not the image of baby Angel.
"Can grandpa have a hug off Amy?" Cragen asked and Olivia smiled passing the excited child over to her superior.
She beamed as Cragen held her close, he'd seen the stills of baby Angel and they'd disturbed him and he wanted to remind himself of what a beautiful baby should be like.
"Captain we've got an ID on baby Angel." Fin called coming into the squad room.
"What is it?" Olivia asked turning towards Fin.
"Familial DNA match is Detective Louise Burns from Manhattan Major Crimes. She reported her kid missing two days ago, everyone was convinced it was a baby snatch." Fin explained.
"Ok where do we go from here cap?" Olivia asked
"Ok this is your case Olivia, how do you want to play it? That is if you still want to take it." Cragen explained as he turned to Olivia with Amelia bouncing on his hip.
"Uh well if me and Jessie go see Burns then we'll see where we can go from there." Olivia sighed.
"Ok me and Elliot will watch the girls, go on they'll be fine." Cragen smiled.
Olivia kissed Amelia on the head and watched as Jessie passed Sophia too Elliot before they rushed out.
"How are we going to play this?" Jessie asked having not worked with Olivia since she'd been on maternity.
"Uh well we have to apologise and tell her that her little baby is dead, we don't need an ID as we've ran the DNA." Olivia explained.
"Benson wait up!" An unfamiliar voice called.
She stopped and turned around and saw Riches from Missing person's running towards her.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You working the Burns case?" He asked.
"Yeah why?" She answered wondering why missing persons would be interested, the case was SVU's now.
"We've got some information that could help you." He explained.
"Well spit it out then!" She moaned impatiently.
" Burns isn't the only cop with a missing kid. Eight female cops in the last two weeks have had their babies kidnapped, aged between three and nine months." He explained.
"What?" Olivia asked the images of her daughters coming into her mind.
"We think that cops babies are being targeted, we don't know why, Burns' kid is the first to turn up." He explained handing her the file.
"We need to see Cragen." Olivia sighed turning to Jessie.
The three of them returned to the squad room and explained what was going on to Cragen.
"Right, I'm going to call Tucker, Olivia and Jessie go and tell Burns that her kid's dead and then come straight back here and we'll see where we are." Cragen replied after all the information was given to him.
As Olivia headed out the squad room she smiled at Fin who was sat on the floor by his desk playing with a musical toy with the girls. Cops kids were being targeted, and all she could do was wonder if her babies were at risk.
Burns Household
11.14 am
"Hi Mrs Burns?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, you're Detective Benson ... SVU right?" She asked.
"Yeah and this is Taylor my partner." Olivia explained, her heart hammered inside her chest knowing that she was about to tell this woman that her missing baby was dead.
"Mrs Burns could we come inside?" Olivia asked gently.
"Of course and please call me Louise." She smiled opening the door wider for Olivia and Jessie to follow her inside.
Once in the living room Olivia and Jessie sat down. The room was full of toys and baby things, pictures of Louise and her daughter scattered around the room.
"You're here on business?" Louise asked sitting in the arm chair.
"We are I'm afraid." Olivia replied.
"What could SVU possibly want with me?" She asked her voice quivering.
"Louise, I'm really sorry to have to tell you this but your daughter's body was found this morning." Olivia explained.
Louise just shook as she was wracked with sobs. Olivia bit her bottom lip to hold back her own tears as the thought of it being the other way around crept into her mind.
"How do you know its Sandy?" Louise asked shakily.
"We ran her DNA for a familial match and you're a cop so your DNA was in the system." Olivia explained and Louise just nodded.
"How did she die?"
"Louise ..."
"Tell me Benson! How did my baby die did someone ... oh God did someone sodomise her?"
"No! No she wasn't sodomised, one stab wound to the chest." Olivia explained.
"Oh my God!" Louise cried. "Who would do something like this?"
"I don't know but we'll get them Louise, we will and I won't stop till I find them." Olivia replied desperate to give her some comfort.
"I know, SVU's known for being the best. Just find whoever hurt my baby Detective."
"Is there anyone we can call to come and be with you?" Olivia asked.
"No, I'll be alright, I'll call my husband just go ... go and find the person who hurt Sandy." Louise had stopped sobbing for now and Olivia and Jessie stood up and left, knowing as soon as the door closed behind them that Louise Burns would sob her heart out.
"I never want to do that again." Olivia shuddered as she unlocked the car.
"Same, poor woman." Jessie sighed looking up at the house one last time before climbing into the passenger seat.
The ride back to the precinct was silent, each detective having to wipe their own tears as they thought of the horror they had seen. This wasn't what Olivia had expected on her first day back and she kept thinking of her own girls and how it would kill her if anything was to ever happen to them and no matter how much she told herself that her babies were safe she couldn't shake the image of their limp and lifeless bodies out of her mind.
Manhattan SVU
11.52 am
Olivia and Jessie walked back into the bullpen feeling deflated. They found the room in near silence, Sophia and Amelia were lying on a thick blanket, both fast asleep. Tucker, Fin, Munch, Cragen and Elliot were all stood around a table their mutterings incoherent from where Olivia and Jessie stood. As Olivia walked closer she listened as the voices carried back to her.
"She can't know." Tucker's voice hit her ears.
"She has to know Ed." Cragen replied.
"No, there's no point worrying anyone when we can make sure they're safe." Tucker explained.
"That's my wife and she is going to know that her kids are here to be kept safe..." Elliot said angrily which frightened Olivia.
"What do you mean?" She asked shakily.
"Liv..."
"Don't Liv me Elliot, what do you mean? Are my girls in danger?" She asked.
Elliot grabbed something off the table and passed it to Olivia. She looked at him unsure what his face was telling her which as rare on his own.
"This arrived when you went to speak with Burns." Elliot explained and Olivia looked down at the note in her shaking hands.
So many female Detective's with babies, I see twins in my mind, six month old girls, Benson ... I'm coming.
"Oh My God." She wheezed unable to catch her breath.
Elliot wrapped his arms around her as she lost the ability to stand.
"El..." She shook.
"I know, nothing will happen to them Olivia." He said pulling her close and rubbing his cheek against hers. "They're safe baby, they're here with us and they're not leaving our sights."
"Olivia, if it's any conciliation, we think whoever this is knows that you're working the case and is panicking, we don't think they're actually coming after Amy and Sophie." Tucker explained.
"I don't care what you think Ed!" Her voice trembled as she spoke. "Someone's kidnapping cop's kids and has made a threat against mine."
"The girls aren't leaving the squad room and will be guarded at all time's Olivia, Elliot needs to go home, get whatever is needed for them and we're going to get someone from the day care to come and look after them because we need you to work this case." Tucker replied sympathetically.
"Cassie." Olivia replied.
"What?" Tucker asked not understanding.
"Day Care worker, her name is Cassie, blonde hair and blue eyes, she lives next door to me and El and babysits our kids, uh, we gave her the recommendation when she applied for a job here." Olivia explained shakily.
"Ok, we'll get Cassie." Ed Tucker smiled gently and took Olivia's trembling hand in his own. "We'll get them before they get anywhere near your babies Olivia, but we can't do it without you."
"Ok." She replied her voice a mere whisper.
Ed Tucker let go of her hand and took out his phone to get Cassie bought to the one six. Olivia sat down on the floor beside her children and stroked their hands, she was terrified, her heart was racing and her mind was swirling but she knew Tucker was right, they probably weren't coming after Amelia and Sophia but they just wanted to throw her off their scent for a while, they expected her to drop everything to guard her children and she knew what she had to do. She had to find the bastards before they killed again.
"Olivia." Cragen smiled gently as he passed her a steaming mug of coffee.
"Thanks." She smiled getting to her feet and taking it. "Now where do we go from here?" Olivia asked wanting to get on with the case.
"Missing persons are bringing us all the cases they've connected, CSU are just finishing up at the crime scene and then we'll just need to wait on Warner and O'Hallaran." Cragen explained.
"So until then we hang tight?" Olivia asked.
"We hang tight." Cragen replied his hand resting on her bicep. "We'll get them Olivia."
"I know, I'm just ... I'm just scared." She replied honestly as Cragen's hand rubbed her arm comfortingly.
"I know Olivia, I'm scared too but we will protect the girls. Tucker's getting two men for protective detail to stand guard outside my office, Elliot's gone to get the kids things and Cassie will use my office as a room for the girls. The only people allowed into that room then are the girls and Cassie, you and Elliot, Me, Jessie, Fin, Munch and Tucker so no one will be able to get in there who isn't close to the family." Cragen explained further.
"I know..." Olivia's phone rang interrupting her. "Benson." She answered. "No problem, yup, ok, we're on our way. Bye." Olivia hung up and smiled gently at Cragen. "O'Hallaran says he's got something for us." She explained.
"Take Jessie and get out of here." He replied catching Jessie's attention when he said her name.
"Come on Jess." Olivia smirked grabbing her coat.
"Where are we going?" Jessie asked as she pulled her own coat onto her shoulders.
"CSU O'Hallaran says he's got something." She replied.
One Police Plaza CSU Lab
12.47 pm
Olivia and Jessie almost ran into the CSU lab, they were desperate for any information that could give us some leads to who had killed Sandy Burns.
"Hey Benson, Jessie." O'Hallaran smiled as they entered, he was looking at Jessie and not Olivia and this didn't go unnoticed by the older Detective.
"So what have you got for us Ryan?" She asked making him snap out of the daydream he was having while staring at Jessie.
"Ah yes, we have three sets of prints." O'Hallaran explained picking up a sheet.
"Have you ran them?" Olivia asked looking at the sheet of paper in her hand.
"Yup and here are the files, I took a liberty in printing out the details of your perps too." He smiled.
"Thanks Ry' save us a lot of trouble." Jessie smiled.
Olivia suppressed a laugh as she looked from Jessie to Ryan as she took the file from the technician.
"So we have ... this isn't possible." Olivia's voice dropped to a whisper.
"What is it Liv?" Jessie asked peering over her shoulder.
"Tony Donnelly, he's in Sing Sing." Olivia replied.
"Who's Tony Donnelly?" Jessie asked, she didn't know who was involved in the bombing and shooting that happened just under a year ago.
"He ... Uh ... he's the one who tried to blow up Calvin's school and the one who shot me ... he used to beat Calvin." Olivia explained her voice a mere whisper.
"Ok Olivia, let's get back to the precinct and find out what on earth is going on. Thanks Ryan we'll let you get back to work." Jessie wrapped her arm around Olivia's shoulder and helped steer her to the car.
How is Tony Donnelly's prints at Olivia's old apartment, the location where a cops kid was found dead? Read on to find out!
Well give me reviews and I'll upload! ;) :P
