A/N: Shout out to my anonymous reviewer! Glad you liked it. :) More on Amanda coming up.

Chapter 12

"Hey Liv. How are you feeling?" Munch asked as he entered the hospital room.

"Like I fell down a flight of stairs," Olivia didn't bother to sugarcoat it.

"I bet," Munch smirked.

"So what brings you to my little corner of the hospital?" She smiled at him.

"During my investigation I found out they were going to name a whole wing after you and I just had to be the first to tell you," he chuckled.

"I do have a recent penchant for this place, don't I?" She shook her head and immediately regretted it.

"You'll be out before you know it and playing with the kids," he smiled.

"I don't know about that. Calvin must be a wreck right now. Did you find out where they took him?" Olivia wanted to know.

"Given his link to the police department, Social Services wouldn't help me out," Munch was not happy.

"Casey called and said she had a lawyer for us and that she might have a lead as to who actually filed the claim," she told him.

"Well that's good. Further than I got," he shrugged.

"This is going to sound paranoid but I need you to do me a favor," Olivia said.

"Paranoid is what I do. What is it?" Munch wanted to know.

"Can you have our place swept for bugs?" She asked.

"I'll grab my gear and relieve the babysitter," he nodded.

"Thanks John. I really appreciate it. Ever since… I really appreciate it," Olivia told him. He knew what she meant. Ever since Lewis had managed to get into the apartment without leaving any signs of forced entry, Olivia had been incredibly cautious when it came to locking doors, windows, and any other opening to the outside in the apartment.

"It'll be nice to see my little goddaughter and keep an eye on things," Munch smiled and then gave her shoulder a squeeze before heading out of the room. As he was exiting the building, an ambulance pulled up. He waited for the crew to get out and then he would head toward his car when he realized that Fin got out of the ambulance and the paramedics were working on Rollins.

"I lost her pulse!" One of them shouted. At this point they practically shoved Fin out of the way and rushed her inside. Munch grabbed him and he spun around.

"John… I…" his thoughts were obviously elsewhere.

"Call me when you hear anything," Munch nodded and then Fin rushed inside. John heaved a sigh and found his car. While he couldn't help Amanda, he could certainly help Olivia.

He made his way down through the city, after stopping at his place, and managed to find parking not too far from where Olivia and Elliot lived. Grabbing his duffle, he headed up the sidewalk and into the building. The elevator was working again and he rode it up to the apartment. He then walked to the door when he heard voices inside. He recognized a couple of them and was about to knock when he realized the conversation on the other side was not a friendly one.

"I need to know who you are working for," Casey asked the babysitter.

"I'm not working for anyone," Mindy argued.

"Then how is it the person filing this claim knows things that only someone who has been in the apartment knows?" Casey demanded.

"How do I know?" Mindy asked. It was then that Munch knocked on the door and Casey quickly went to answer it.

"Did you have your boyfriend come over?" Matthew wanted to know.

"I never did that. He's asked but I know how Mrs. Stabler feels uncomfortable about people she doesn't know in the apartment. I would not break her trust," Mindy told him.

"Well isn't this cozy?" Munch asked.

"She knows something but isn't telling us," Casey said.

"Oh yeah. Now why would she do that?" The former detective wondered.

"We think she's working for the people who actually filed the claim. There are too many things that someone who just followed them wouldn't know," Casey explained. Munch leaned in close and whispered to her,

"Liv wants me to search for bugs. Why don't you take the babysitter down to her folks' place for questioning? We don't want whomever she works for to get suspicious that we're onto them."

"Sounds like a plan," she whispered back.

"Mindy, I need you to go with ADA Novak. I'm making a citizen's arrest. Petit larceny is the charge. There's twenty dollars missing out of Olivia's purse."

"What?" Mindy looked at him.

"You heard me. They were taking stock at the hospital and found that her purse is missing money. You were the last one to see her before she was taken to the hospital therefore you stole it," Munch told her.

"Looks like we're heading to your parents' place and then the local precinct for questioning," Casey smirked.

"I didn't do it!" Mindy objected.

"We'll take your statement once an officer has read you, your rights," Novak explained.

"I didn't steal the money! All I did was to make copies of bank credit card statements!" With the truth out in the air, Casey smirked.

"Oh now you're really in trouble," she said.

"Let's go," Matthew shook his head. The two lawyers led the girl out of the apartment while Munch turned to Charlotte who was happily cooing in her playpen.

"Hey there sunshine," he smiled. He then locked the apartment door and commenced the sweep of the apartment. What just happened wouldn't hold up in court but they wouldn't need it to if he found bugs. Besides if Mindy's parents made her cooperate, then it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't find bugs. Quickly and efficiently, Munch moved throughout the entire apartment sweeping for anything that did not belong. The device he held in his hand beeped loudly when he passed it near the phone in the kitchen, the picture frame in the middle of the living room, just near where Charlotte was in her playpen, and down the hall inside Elliot and Olivia's bedroom. It was time to make some phone calls.
