"Thank you Ms. Novak, is there anything else that you feel we need to know?" A kind officer asked Casey as his partner jotted down the last few notes of her descriptions. The redhead shook her head and sunk back into Olivia's embrace. "Well thank you ma'am." They nodded Olivia their goodbyes, and left.

Casey waited until the cops left before she broke down in sobs. "Casey it's going to be alright." Olivia said softly trying to soothe the attorney. Casey resigned from her post on Olivia's shoulder and looked her dead in the eye. "Alright? ALRIGHT? There was a dead woman found butchered in my car and you say it's going to be ALRIGHT?" Olivia flinched as Casey shouted at her.

"It's going to be okay Case. They're going to find who ever did this …" Olivia started but Casey cut her off. "There was a note Olivia." Casey whispered hoarsely. The detective looked at her confused. Her least favorite criminals were always the ones the left notes and or clues. "What did it say?" Olivia asked after a small silence.

Casey took in a shaky breath remembering the contents of the small piece of paper. She had seen the detective lash out at Serena when she even so much as hinted at Alex being the murderer. How was she supposed to tell her Alex had left a note, and signed it threatening her life? She chewed her lip a bit before deciding on what to say.

"Liv it threatened me…it said I was next, that Connie, Abbie, and whoever that is in my car were just examples. It said something was missing. Alex left it…" she trailed off the last part only to a slight whisper. She saw the flash of anger in Olivia's eyes, but just as soon as it was there, it was gone replaced with hurt and denial.

"Casey…please you know that…"

'Olivia what more do you need!? For her to kill ME?! She killed Connie, tried to kill Abbie, and now there is a dead woman in my car with a note saying that I am next. And you know what, I will bet you anything that that woman was an attorney. Serena sees the pattern, I see the pattern, why can't you? She is going to kill me Liv."

"She doesn't have a reason to…she wouldn't kill you!"

'I took over her job, you know, the job that she's fucking notorious for? Olivia for being one of New York's finest detectives, you're being really blind and quote unquote what you said to Serena 'stupid'.

The detective was taken by surprise at how hysteric Casey was becoming. Now she knew how Serena felt when she said something similar, her pride was wounded a bit. Olivia was slowly realizing that her certainty that Alex was not a killer was slowly turning into a clouded doubt. A clouded doubt where she herself was beginning to question herself whether or not her girlfriend was actually capable of such things.

Casey crossed the living room and carefully slipped into Olivia's embrace burying her face in the detective's neck. "Please…Don't let her kill me. Don't leave me alone," her voice coming out in a hoarse whisper.

Olivia felt the warm wetness of the attorney's tears on her neck as she involuntarily tightened her embrace around the younger woman. She wasn't sure why she did it, or where it even came from, but she soon found her voice utter a soft "I won't, I promise."


"Officer, I have told you a thousand times already, but since you're too STUPID to understand I will tell you again, and I will tell you one last time so you better listen good!" The officer flinched at the chastising, the southern drawl adding just a little more attitude than he cared for. Serena was blushing furiously at her girlfriend's outbursts and impoliteness towards the people that were actually trying to help her.

"I told you who tried to kill me; it was that dirty bitch Cabot. And before you ask again, NO, I do not know why she tried to kill me but I know it was her. I fucking saw her for fuck's sake!" Abbie shouted at the officers occupying her hospital room. "Ms. Carmichael, you don't have to shout." The female officer stated calmly. "What?" Abbie squinted at her, speaking in a tone louder than normal.

Serena cleared her throat softly drawing the attention of the two cops. "She can't hear that well at the moment because of the explosion. Well that and the fact she's normally loud." She concluded. The female officer smirked "Is she loud in other places too?" she asked with a wink in Serena's direction. The blonde turned beet red before covering her face with her hand.

"What'd you say to her?!" Abbie shouted from the hospital bed. "Ah nothing Counselor." The male officer continued. "As we were saying before, you believe that it was Alex Cabot who did this to you?" At this Abbie nodded her head slowly as if talking to a toddler. "Look at that he got one!" The cop rolled his eyes as his partner snickered. "Thank you for your time Counselor…" he mumbled before leaving. Once in the hallway he looked down at his partner, "Is it bad that I thought she was kinda hot?"

"Did you have to be so mean?" Serena asked running her fingers through her girlfriend's raven locks. Abbie shrugged, "he was getting on my nerves." She said nonchalantly. "It was funny irritating him though. I can hear a hell of a lot better than I put on. Like when that cop hinted if I was loud in bed. Glad you didn't answer." Serena smiled and gave her a light kiss on the lips. "Mmm, you know I wouldn't put our business out there like that baby." She said sweetly. There was a pause, before Abbie spoke again, "I meant that for your benefit. That would have probably been awkward for you to tell her that you're the screamer." She smirked as she saw Serena's icy blue eyes harden in anger.

The blonde scoffed and stormed back to the corner to get her things. "I'm going home." She stated. Abbie's expression shifted to concern, "Why?" she asked afraid she had went a little too far with her sarcastic teasing. "I need to clean my apartment, and make room for a newly unwanted guest seeing as she is getting out of the hospital tomorrow. And that guest needs to know, that she won't be getting any for a very, VERY, long time." She concluded swiftly leaving the room, leaving a gaping Texan staring after her.


Alex sat in her hotel room just outside of Manhattan, staring at the ceiling. God how she hated life at the moment. Surely she would know if she had killed someone. She just couldn't understand why anyone else couldn't understand that.

The blonde wondered if Olivia thought she was doing this as well. She had seen the doubt in her best friend's eyes, but she had to wonder what her girlfriend was thinking. Leaning over to the nightstand, Alex picked up the newspaper that she had picked up in the lobby of the hotel remembering she hadn't read it.

Her eyes widened as she read the headline on the front page. 'Another Attack, another ADA.' It read accompanied by a picture of a flaming car after what appeared to be an explosion. Alex gasped as she hastily flipped to the page where the full article was. She found it and began reading:

A few nights ago there was an explosion of a vehicle outside of the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The vehicle was later found out to have belonged to Assistant District Attorney Abigail Carmichael. ADA Carmichael was then rushed to the hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Causes of the explosion were unknown until NYPD discovered remnants of an explosive device found rigged under the attorney's car. Speculators believe that this was the doing of former Assistant DA Alexandra Cabot, who is currently tied to the murder of ADA Connie Rubirosa. No one currently has any information on Ms. Cabot's whereabouts.

At that point Alex couldn't continue reading. First Connie, now Abbie. And everyone was pointing there finger at her. She groaned and mumbled several profanities, before flipping on the television in her hotel room.

"This just in: Another attorney found brutally murdered in vehicle," came the loud and proud voice of a reporter. Alex groaned again knowing her life was just about to get a whole lot worse. She waited for the reporter to continue on into the news story.

"A couple of hours ago, a woman was found brutally murdered in a vehicle in a parking garage of an Upper Eastside condo complex. The woman was later identified as Kim Greyleck, an attorney from Washington D.C. who was set to be the replacement of murdered ADA Connie Rubirosa.

Greyleck was found dead at 8:30 pm in the vehicle of Special Victims Unit ADA Casey Novak." At this Alex went slack jawed. It hadn't hit her completely until the reporter said it. She had been replaced. REPLACED. She turned out the rest of the story as they got into the "Alex Cabot did this, Alex Cabot did that." repertoires.

The blonde flopped back down on her bed holding back tears. She couldn't be arrested again. She WOULDN'T be arrested again. Was it that she had some sort of Jekyll and Hyde disease and there was some person inside her leading a double life?

Wait….double life. Slowly, Alex began to remember what she saw a few nights before. Her mind slowly traced back to how she was feeling slightly drunk and had hallucinated seeing herself staring back at her. But what if it wasn't a hallucination…what if it was…

Alex sat straight up from her bed staring into the now blank television in shock. It couldn't be. It had been almost thirty years. Twenty-nine to be exact, but roughly thirty. Alex glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost eleven o clock. She knew it would take thirty minutes to get to her destination, and she hoped that her only chance of salvation would still be there.


Alex bit her nails nervously as the elevator made it's dangerously slow decent. She was thankful that there had been no one around when she walked in, making her trip a whole lot easier.

The elevator dinged signaling her arrival to the floor she had selected. Letting out a shaky hallow breath, she stepped off. She made her way down the hall that she had only been down a few times before remembering the door she soon found.

Bracing herself , Alex entered without knocking not wanting to scare off her possible savior. Alex made her way past the various tables, heels clacking loudly in the nearly silent room. She rounded a corner and saw her sitting at a computer typing away. "Melinda…" she said more as a statement rather than a question for attention.

Medical Examiner Melinda Warner spun in her swivel chair facing the blonde attorney. Or former attorney. "Counsel…ah…Alex, w-what are you doing here so late?" Melinda asked trying to hide her surprise and sudden fear. It wasn't as if she hadn't heard of the things the blonde was accused of, and it wasn't as if she didn't believe they were true. All of the evidence pointed to her.

"Melinda please…." Alex began. Hell the great Alexandra Cabot had been shot down this low, what would begging do. "I need your help…but first I need to know that you won't tell anyone about this, and well, that you aren't afraid of me. I didn't do any of this." She pleaded. She watched as the medical examiner's eyes watched her carefully as if waiting for her to snap into a fit of rage and murder her. "Melinda…you have to trust me…I wouldn't do this. I really need you."

Melinda thought for a moment before nodding, "What do you need Alex?" she asked. Alex took a few breaths for a moment contemplating on what she wanted to say. "Say, if someone has a sibling, would you be able to find them?" Alex asked. Melinda nodding quickly wondering where she was going with this. "Of course I could find them, it wouldn't be that hard at all. Why do you ask?"

Alright, moment of truth here. "I ask because…Because I have a sister…and I need to find her." Alex forced out. She hadn't seen Addison in so long having been told by her parents that she had died. Why would she come back now? And why would she be killing people. Her thoughts were interrupted by Melinda's questions that she knew were coming.

"You have a sister? I never knew."

'No one knew…I didn't even think I had a sister. My parents told me she had died in an accident when we were six…'

"'we were six'? As in the both of you?"

'She was my twin…Look, I just need to know if you can find her.'

"I can try."

Alex nodded and sat down in the chair next to Melinda thankful that the M.E. was able to relax around her. "What's her full name Alex?" Melinda asked. "Addison Emily Cabot. Or at least that's what it was when we were six." Alex replied. It was silent for a moment before she noticed Melinda looking at her grinning, "What?" the blonde asked. "You two have the same initials. Your mother treated you as twins it seems." At this Alex laughed.

"I never asked Alex, what IS your middle name?" the M.E. asked. Alex's smiled faded as she felt herself blush a deep red. God how she hated being so damned pale, it had always bothered her as a child. Whenever she was embarrassed she would blush a deep red that spread all the way to her neck. And that was how she sat in the medical examiner's office, blushing. "Elizabeth…" she mumbled so low that Melinda barely heard her. "What's so bad about that? Elizabeth is a nice name." the brunette stated confused at Alex's embarrassment. "Yeah, it's a nice name when you aren't named after your godmother who just so happens to be your boss." Alex mumbled again. She watched as Melinda's mouth formed into a perfect 'O' shape. "You were named…." 'After Elizabeth Donnelley, yes, I know. Now can we move on?'

A Couple of Hours Later

"I can't believe it! It's like she never even existed." Alex said as she paced around the room, her heels clacking repeatedly. "Calm down…I'm sure we will find her somehow. Would you mind telling me what happened?" the doctor asked sincerely. It had been a while since Alex had thought about what happened. Slowly she nodded and began. "I remember it started when…"

A six year old Alex Cabot ran into her mother's arms as her parent's returned home. "Mommy! Daddy! I missed you. Where's Addy?" she asked, her young face twisting in confusion. She watched as her mother turned to her father with dread in her eyes. "Alexandra sweetheart…there was an accident." Her father said soothingly, yet sadly.

Alex's eyes shot up in surprise. Sure she was young but she understood what her father's voice meant. She knew that Addy had been out with their grandmother and she could only wonder what had happened. "What kind of accident? Where is Addy!" she said out loud becoming upset because her parents weren't answering her fast enough.

"Addison is gone sweetie…She's…she's gone." Her mother informed her looking as if she was fighting tears of her own. "You're lying!" Alex screamed back at them. She refused to believe them. Addy couldn't be dead. She just couldn't be. "Alexandra…it happened…we wouldn't lie."

Alex squirmed out of her mother's arms and slowly backed away from them. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" she screamed at them before retreating to her room, slamming the door awful hard for a six year old. She collapsed on to the floor and began to cry hysterically. How was she supposed to feel now that her sister was gone? Addy wasn't only her sister, she was her other half. And at that moment Alex physically and emotionally felt like half of her was missing.

End Flashback

Melinda held out a box of tissues towards the blonde who was quietly sobbing as she concluded her story. She had never once saw the 'Ice Queen' cry, nor was she sure anyone had. Alex thankfully accepted the tissues. "I'm so sorry Alex…that sounds really painful," was all Melinda could say, not really knowing what else to say.

Alex could only nod as she wiped her eyes free of tears. "Thank you…for listening…And can you do me a favor and not tell anyone I was here, especially Olivia?" and at this Melinda nodded in understanding. "And if you ever need anything Alex, don't hesitate to come to me and ask."
