"Now remember" Morales said as he placed the jammer into an empty box and handed it to Olivia "Once we activate the jammer everything will be out of service including our cell phones."
Everyone nodded in agreement as they each picked up an empty box and followed Olivia into the building. The ride up to the Alex's floor was silent with each lost in their own thoughts. Stopping outside Alex's door Olivia took a deep breath and a quick look around needing the encouragement for what she was about to do. She reached in the box turning the jammer on as she pulled out the house key she was given when she moved in.
"Ok let's go" Elliot said quickly sweeping into the room behind Olivia and heading for the stairs "I'll take Liv's room."
"I have Alex's" Morales said following Elliot up the stairs he figured that would be where the majority of the bugs should be.
"I'll take the kitchen and Munch will sweep the living room" Fin hollered out heading into the kitchen.
"Guess I'll take the office." Olivia answered heading into the direction of Alex's office.
She opened the door and stepped in slowly feeling like an intruder. In all the time she had stayed here she had never once entered Alex's office. She took this time to look around. Behind her huge mahogany desk was all her diplomas and a picture of a man that she assumed was her father. There was a book shelf to the left that was filled with a variety of law books. What she saw to the right probably shocked her the most. There was an assortment of hand drawn pictures from little kids that were framed and hung with pride on the wall.
She was walking toward the pictures to take a closer look when the device in her pocket began to beep. She jumped at the sudden intrusion and then took the wand out of her pocket and began to sweep it slowly over the area until it constantly beeped. Once it did she pulled the picture off the wall and located a small micro camera that was perched on top of the frame. She carefully removed it and placed it in her pocket.
Having found the first camera Olivia slowly and methodically began to sweep the room. When she was finished she had located two listening devices and another camera. The more she found the madder she was getting. She knew without a doubt when she got her hands on Jess she would never live to hurt another soul.
"Has anyone located anything?" Fin asked walking out of the kitchen.
"Oh yeah" Olivia said walking out of the office and securing the door behind her "I have two micro cameras and two listening devices, One of which was hooked up to the phone with this recorder system attached to it."
"That recorder system means she has been coming and going into the apartment." Elliot said following Morales down the stairs. "Yes we have located some devices as well."
Morales reached the bottom of the stairs and empty his pocket on to the coffee table and everyone followed in his steps. Once everyone had laid everything out they had ten cameras, twelve listening devices and two recorders.
"Do I want to know where all these were found?" Olivia asked amazed at the amount of devices that was laid out before her.
"Probably not." Morales answered after looking at the other detectives who seemed hesitant to answer her.
"Will you be able to tell anything from any of these?" Olivia asked turning toward Morales.
"The cameras and listening devices more than likely not. You can buy them a dime a dozen off numerous internet sites. The recorders I should be able too." Morales said picking a recorder up and flipping it over "They all come with serial numbers which I should be able to trace to where they were purchased. "
"Anything will help."
"This should help too." Morales said picking up a camera "These types of cameras are usually registered to their own private domain for the owner to view as they please. I should be able to track the web site that these are registered to and with any luck get a read at where they are watched from."
"Then lets nail this bitch" Olivia growled.
"Detective please remember all they have to do is go to an internet café to watch the video so they couldn't be traced back to them."
"Damn it"
"Liv" Munch said finally speaking up "Someone who has gone through this much trouble isn't going to wake for a computer to become available at an internet café. They will use their own computer to watch it. That way they could watch the video anytime they wanted as well."
"Can they download it so they can watch it over and over again?" Olivia asked
"Yes they can transfer the video to the hard drive on their computer if they so desire."
"Good" Olivia said looking up at the guys and smiling.
"Do I want to know why you have a cat that ate the canary look and grin?" Elliot asked knowing that the wheels in his partners head were turning.
"If we can prove that Jess was the one who purchased these and planted these then we just proved that she bugged an Assistant District Attorney's house and office, since I found these four in her office."
"That's why we're here."
"I know and that's why she just nailed the final nail in her coffin. She has violated the federal wire tapping law and done it to an ADA. The icing on the cake one of the recorders was connected to her work line."
"Therefore giving us the ability to charge her with numerous other charges up to and possibly including witness tampering." Fin said finally understanding where Olivia was going with it.
"Exactly"
"Are you sure you suffered a major head injury?" Elliot asked laughing as he smacked Olivia on the back "Because if I didn't witness it I would have said there was no way in hell."
"Alex has the bills to prove it." Olivia answered her mood suddenly changing "Speaking of which she should be coming home soon so we need to get out of here. Especially get these out of here. I know she's going to want to know but I would like to shield her as much as I can."
"Not a problem" Morales said gathering all the devices and placing them into one box after turning the jammer off "I need to get back to the lab and start processing all this. I can't promise I will have anything tonight but for sure I should have something in the morning."
"Thank you Morales and please let me know something as soon as you do" Olivia said leading the guys out the door.
A/N: I am so sorry that it has taken so long to update. I am now permantly off desk duty and back in the action so I no longer have the ability to just sit and write. You will see delays from time to time do to this. If you will hang in there with me I will try my best to make it well worth the wait. Or at least attempt to.
