{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was on her way up to the squad room to fill Livia in on her visit to the law firm, when her cell rang.
"Walker."
"Hi, Jess? It's Casey. Look, I did some digging and called in a few favors, and it turns out this law firm has some suspicious factors about it. In several cases witnesses have turned up dead or suddenly gotten amnesia, and many of the lawyers that work for them have a record."
Jess raised an eyebrow and thanked Casey for the info.
"Hey, Liv!" Jess called out as she entered the squad room and briefed Livia on the suspicious incident in the reception and what Casey had told her.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Livia jumped when she heard her name being called, nearly upsetting the stack of cases that she had pulled. She listened to what Jess had found out and asked, "Does the name Madeline Seretto ring any bells?" Liv asked before pointing to the stack of files. "Her name is in almost all of these. Either that or Marie Seretto."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess sat down next to Livia. "I think we've stumbled upon something way bigger than what we thought. I mean, this woman went by Mary back in LA, and Marie now, and between that she was Madeline?"
"What do you say we go down to your mother's office and see if she can pull some files for us, and we can see if we find a pattern we can use to prove the three of them are the same?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Livia nodded thoughtfully and stood from where she had been seated on the floor. "Should we take these with us?" She asked Jess, holding up the files, "Or should we leave 'em for Munch?" She added with a mischevious grin, pointing to John's cluttered desk.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess chuckled. "Be nice, Liv. Plus, perhaps your mother wants to see them."
As the two of them walked down the hall at the DA's office, they knocked on Casey's door and were invited inside.
"Hey," Jess said, "look, we have stumbled over something big, and we need some help gathering some evidence."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"I still think we should have left 'em for John," Liv grumbled good naturedly as the two of them walked into Casey's office.
"Hey Mom," She grinned as she took a seat across from her mother's office and plopped the stack of files on the ADA's desk.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}After filling Casey in on their case and everything that happened, Casey went to dig out the casefiles, leaving Livia and Jess alone in her office for a few minutes.
Jess sighed. "Liv..." she started, "look, I'm sorry about earlier, I was a jerk, and I'm sorry."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Liv squirmed in her seat as her mother decided to go leave the office.
Lovely, She thought sullenly. She stared at her fingers and started to tap a rhythm on the arm chair when Jess suddenly spoke up.
Livia turned and smiled gently. "Its OK Jess," She said. "It's just tense for everyone isn't it?" She continued, a sparkle returning to her eye.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess smiled and nodded.
Just then Casey walked back into her office, carrying two big boxes of files.
"So, here's enough files to keep the two of you occupied for awhile, and I also looked into this Seretto woman," Casey said. "I think I'd easily be able to prove to a jury that it's the same person."
Jess flipped through a couple of files and was stunned. "Whoa, these are dangerous people, I mean, dead witnesses?"
Casey nodded. "They only defend wealthy clients, and even though we can't prove it right now, I think it's pretty obvious that this law firm is extremly dangerous."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"Lovely Mom," Liv said sarcastically, grinning, "Thanks." She added as she stared at the large stacks of files warilly.
When Jess mentioned dead witnesses, Livia perked up. She snatched one of the files off the top of the file and started flipping through it.
"We also heard that they can make people falsely testify." Livia added to her mother as she looked at the file in her hands. "Not everyone does it but they've tried to get people to do it."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Seems that our law firm is filled with lawyers that should be defendants," Jess said.
"What do you say we invite some of the lawyers working there in for a little chat," Jess suggested. "Casey would you be willing to offer them any deals if they give up their colleagues?"
Casey nodded, "sure."
Jess and Livia then went back to the squad room to call some of the lawyers working at the law firm.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"Well this has been an eventful day," Livia said as they walked back into the Squad room. It seemed everything was okay until.
"Novak! Walker! My office. NOW!" A booming voice called.
Liv turned to Jess simultaneously they mouthed, "Cragen."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Crap," Jess silently muttered under her breath as she heard Cragen's voice. She took a deep breath as Livia and her went inside Cragen's office.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Olivia and Jess walked silently into Cragen's office. "Cap it--"
"Save it," Cragen said as he shut the door to his office. "I've just received a call concering two detectives breaking down a door at a law firm. Without a subpoena. Why?" He said, glaring at the two of them.
For once, Liv was at a loss for words. She stared blankly at Cragen and hoped that Jess had something that she could say in their defense.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"We called out, and no one answered, and then we heard a window going up," Jess said. "I kicked the door down, it was my call, and Liv had nothing to do with it."
