Aspurgeon: your dedication to reviewing is outstanding! I love reading your reviews (: I actually got curious if sleeping pills make you not dream or if you stay asleep so I did a little research. Sleeping pills reduce you REM (that's the time our brain is dreaming) so even if you dream, you wouldn't remember it or vaguely remember it when you wake up .Oh! And this isn't going to be a Nick and Amanda story I promise (: that's probably the only thing I mention is what I already did.
I DO NOT OWN THE SVU CHARACTERS. I ONLY OWN THE ONES I MADE UP LIKE CHARLIE AND THE PPD YOU MEET IN THIS CHAPTER. THE ORIGINAL SVU CHARACTERS BELONG TO DICK WOLF AND THE CREATIVE BRAINS THAT STARTED SVU.
This chapter is kind of long and kind of talkative. I wanted to get it the good stuff in this chapter but after explaining things within the chapter, I realized that it was getting too long. But I pinky promise next chapter there's a giant twist some of you probably see coming. Shhh ! (:
So, I have to point out something I did that took me seven chapters to realize. I did not name the victims with similar names on purpose. I realize that the girls are Brooklyn and Bailey (B and B) and Charlie (Catherine) and Charlotte (C and C). That happened on complete accident but hey. I kind of like it (: *warning: I wrote this one on an ipad so there's no spell check. Sorry for any mistakes! *
Anyway, Enjoy (:
*the next morning*
Olivia slowly opened her eyes and found Brian staring at her. A smile slowly crept onto his lips.
" ' Morning sunshine. How'd you sleep?"
Olivia stifled a yawn before smiling back at him, "Great, actually. Slept the whole night. You?"
"Me? I slept pretty well. It helped knowing you were alright. Though, I did have one problem I needed to get up for a while ago."
Olivia looked at him confused, making him smile wide. "Close your eyes, Liv."
She eyed him suspiciously before shutting her eyes. Olivia could feel the bed shift as he got up and walked out of the room.
"Brian ? Where are you going?" She called after him. She heard a clink of a dish and Brian's footsteps approaching.
"Keep your eyes closed, Liv. No peeking."
Olivia nodded as Brian neared the bed. Suddenly,a heavy object was sat on Olivia's lap and she opened her eyes. There was a tray of food sitting in front of her. A coffee mug sat in the far corner of the tray. Olivia looked at Brian and smiled.
"You made me breakfast?"
"Uh, no," Brian walked over and sat on his side of the bed, "I made US breakfast. " He took a piece of toast and bit into it.
She smiled and scooped a handful of eggs up and ate it. They ate in silence . After a few minutes, Olivia turned to Brian and smiled softly.
"That was sweet of you, Bri," she kissed him gently. He smiled against her lips and kissed back.
"Anything for you, Liv." He murmured against her lips. She pulled away and grabbed the tray of food off of her lap and sat it on the ground next to the bed. She turned back to Brian and pressed her body up against his, kissing him in the process.
He ran his hands down her back and kissed back. Before she could take it further, he pulled away and looked at her concerned.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Olivia? I don't want to force you to do something you're not completely ready for y-"
"Just shut up and kiss me, Cassidy. " she smiled. Brian smiled, shrugged, and gently pulled her body against his and kissed her. They flipped over and Olivia looked up at Brian.
Brian leaning down and kissed her, running his hand down her side. She slowly slide off his shirt and ran her hand down his muscular chest. They kissed again as Brian slowly took his shirt off of her body...
"We know this guy is from Pennsylvania. He's attacked Charlotte, Charlie, Brooklyn, Bailey, and Scarlet. His M.O. varies with each attack ," Nick informed the other police who were gathered in their precinct.
"He has a weird method of operation," Amanda picked up on the speech, "His first victim, Charlotte , was left bruised and had a few broken bones but alive. His second victim, Scarlet, was left bruised and left with broken body parts but he beat her more than Charlotte. Scarlett's heart stopped beating one time while she was driven in the ambulance to the hospital. They were able to revive her. Next was Charlie. She is the only one he's moved from her own parent's house back to where he kidnapped her at her dorm. She was found beaten but alive.
"Brooklyn," Amanda stopped for a moment then continued, "Brooklyn was found in a hotel storage closet. She was already dead. And now his latest victim, Bailey. He purposefully left her alive and had he come find us in Bellevue. Now, if we have his pattern correct, he won't let his next victim live."
Just then Olivia walked through the doors of the precinct and stopped. Dozens of officers turned around in their chairs and looked at her. She frowned and met the eyes of Nick.
"What's all this?" Olivia frowned and gestured to the policemen.
"They are from the Pennsylvania Police Department," Fin informed her, "The PPD."
"We were just telling them about the case so far, Sergeant," Amanda looked at her.
"Sergeant Benson?" A man stood up and walked over to her. Olivia eyed him suspiciously.
"Yes?"
"It's nice to finally meet the person in charge of SVU," the man held his hand out, "I'm Sergeant Seth Mclang. PPD. We are here because we heard about what has been going on between the Pennsylvania and New York border and we want to help. Especially after Bailey got attacked."
"May I speak to you, Sergeant? Privately in my office?" Olivia looked over at the questioning eyes. The young man nodded and they walked into her office.
Once the door was shut, Olivia turned to Seth.
"Listen," she frowned, "I don't mind that you want to help with this case. The more man power the better. But I just want you to know that if this guy is in New York, it's our jurisdiction . We handle him. Same goes for Pennsylvania. "
"Oh yeah I totally agree with you, Ms. Benson. I wouldn't have it any other way." Seth smiled at her.
"Good," Olivia looked out of her office window at the group of officers,"Do we have any leads?"
"Your squad was just informing mine on what you guys have so far in this case," Seth watched the group with her, "I think we are going to have some of my men following the bus to each route. I was thinking of putting some of your squad at the stops . Just blending in with the crowd. Maybe get one of your detectives to act like a student traveling."
"You really think he will show up? The last time we tried to go on the bus he hired a kid to do his dirty work of following my detective. When Rollins pulled the gun she realized it was just a kid."
"Well," Seth sighed, "The bastard has had five attacks using the same method of travel. Do serial rapists really change their tactics just because the police might be on their tails?"
"You'll be surprised at what a rapist will do to avoid the law," Olivia frowned.
Just then, there was a knock on the door and an officer walked into the office.
"Sorry to bother you, sir," the officer stammered, "The captain is on the phone and wants to speak to you."
"Shit," Seth looked at Olivia, "I was just about to ask you when you want us to do this plan?"
"I can talk it over with... What your name?" Olivia looked at the officer.
"Officer Asher Longtin, ma'am." He stood up straight, making Olivia smile softly.
"Well, Asher," Olivia replied as Seth walked back into the main room, "I was thinking of doing this once a day for the next week. He knows we are on to him. If Seth is right and he won't change his method of getting to New York then he will change the day he goes."
"Oh okay," Asher nodded, "Ill tell that to Sergeant as soon as he's off of the phone." Asher walked out of her office, looking back over his shoulder at her before rejoining the group.
Olivia shook her head and frowned before walking out of her office and rejoining the squad.
