A/N: So sorry guys I hit a major case of writer's block. I'm trying to update as much as possible! (This chapter sucks I'll admit it right now.) The important thing is I'm back and that I am going to finish this!
Olivia, Fin, and Amanda walked up the stairs into the Intelligence Unit's squad room.
"Hey." Voight said to Olivia as she approached him. "How you holding up?"
"As much as can be expected." She told him. "How much did you fill them in on?" She asked.
Voight glanced at his squad, who had starting talking with the SVU detectives. "As much as you told me. We've already got alerts out all over Chicago but no one has come forward with anything yet."
"My people, listen up! This case gets our top priority and this prick is caught." Voight said getting his people's attention. "Everyone clear?" He asked his detectives. They all nodded.
Olivia looked at the board with Johnny D's picture already pinned to it. Noah's picture was up there too. "Alright, Johhny Drake, a.k.a Johnny D is a notorious sex trafficker and pimp we arrested a few months back." Olivia acknowledged the Intelligence Unit detectives. "He was on trial for seventeen counts each of rape, assault, trafficking, and kidnapping. During a witness testimony a disruption happened in the courtroom, allowing him to grab a court officer as a shield, open fire on the judge, another officer, and one of our detectives. He then fled the court house, kidnapped Noah, and fled to Chicago."
"Are there any confirmed places he'd be keeping girls here?" Halstead asked.
"We have definitive evidence showing he has sex houses in Chicago, their exact location couldn't be found." Olivia told him.
Voight spoke up again. "Lindsey, Halstead go check up on any past pimps that have come through here and see if Johnny D rings a bell to any of them."
"We're on it." Lindsey said and the two of them left the squad room.
"Everyone else I want you to follow any leads we get that comes through here." Voight said.
Olivia added. "We can't let this guy slip by us again."
The detectives continued about their business as Olivia and Voight went into Voight's office.
"How's Lindsey doing? After Yates..." Olivia asked.
"She's doing as good as can be expected." Voight said. "I was worried about her for a while but she started to improve so I think she's come to terms with it." Voight stopped when Olivia's phone started to ring.
"Benson" she answered.
"Hello Olivia." A familiar voice said on the other end. Her face hardened.
"Where is Noah?" Olivia asked. She was a little concerned on how he managed to get a hold of her phone number but that wasn't her major concern at the moment.
"Johnny D?" Voight asked her quietly. Olivia nodded.
"Don't worry about my son," Johnny D commented, the last words sent a cold feeling through Olivia. She spoke before he could continue.
"Where is Noah?" Olivia asked angrily.
"Don't fret; I wouldn't hurt him after all. But, I am willing to give him back, if you give me what I want." Johnny D added.
Olivia knew he didn't truly love Noah, that he was using him for leverage, but it was working. "What do you want?" She asked.
"I want all the charges dropped against me."
Olivia wasn't surprised, but she knew it most likely would not happen. "There is no way in hell-"
He interrupted her. "Ah- those are my terms. Better hurry up or you won't ever see this little boy again." The line on the other end went dead.
She slowly put her phone down.
"What did he want?" Voight asked.
Olivia looked at him and hesitated."He wants all the charges against him dropped and he'll give back Noah."
Voight sighed. "We can't seriously bargain with this guy."
"I don't think we have any choice right now, we don't have any leads on him here, we have nothing he just disappeared!" Olivia said frustrated and sat down in the chair near Voight's desk.
"How did he get your phone number?" Voight asked. Olivia had pondered that too but had not been concerned about it, but he obviously was.
"I don't know. The number was blocked so I don't know if we can trace where it came from."
"This guy's dangerous-" Voight started. Olivia interrupted him.
"Yes I get that, he has connections, we know what he's capable of."
"You know we don't even know that he's still in Chicago." Voight said.
Olivia slowly nodded. "We're going to proceed like he' hasn't left the area." She paused for a second, standing up. "I'm going to call my ADA."
"Afterwards I wanna trace that number, see if we get anything." Voight said before she could leave the room. She nodded, opened the door, and walked out of his office.
Everyone was busy following up on leads, but she caught the attention of her two detectives.
"Everything alright?" Fin asked her. Olivia walked over to them.
"I'll fill you guys in later I gotta call Barba." She walked over to the side of the room where nobody was working and dialed his phone number.
His phone ringed a few times but the ADA eventually answered. "How's finding Johnny D going along?"
"That's the thing, we might have a problem." Olivia told him.
"What do you mean?" Barba asked.
"He wants full immunity against all charges against him. Then he said he'd give Noah back." Olivia explained.
"He can't be serious, he's insane." Barba said.
"Yeah, that's basically what I told him. I can't even trust him, even if we did drop all the charges he could still not give back Noah." She heard silence on the other end for a few moments.
"Are you seriously considering this?" Barba asked after a few moments of thinking.
"I just wanted to run it by you. I know he won't hurt Noah but we are stuck on a dead end over here unless we find something soon but they will definitely not stay in Chicago forever."
"Alright, I'm going to see if I can even get them possibly dropped. The victims definitely aren't going to have it." Barba told her.
"Trust me none of us want the bastard to go free."
"I'll call you with any updates." Barba told her, then he hung up.
"What was that about?" Fin asked as Olivia walked by him.
"We got a call-" She was interrupted by Voight as he came out of his office.
"Just got a call from Halstead. Shots were just fired at him and Lindsey."
