{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess tried to reassure her partner. "Liv, listen I'm sure she's fine, there's prob-" Jess stopped talking abruptly. There was blood on the edge of Casey's desk.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Olivia's pale face paled even further when Jess stopped speaking. Liv stared at Jess and noticed that her partner's eyes were trained on the edge of the desk.
Livia whirled around to see what was keeping Jess from just finishing the sentence. She wasn't really ready to see blood on her mother's desk like that. Liv swayed for a moment and sat down abruptly in her mother's chair, her eyes fixated on the specks of blood.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Now, Liv, don't draw any conclusions just yet, we don't know that anything's wrong." Jess said, seeing how Livia's face turned white.
"Now, I suggest you go home and relax, and I'll have CSU come up here and look trough the office, and I'll head back to the precinct. I'll call you as soon as I know something, okay?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"How do you expect me to go home and relax when I have no idea where my mother is?!" Livia whispered loudly, looking around the office warilly.
"I'm coming with you." She added firmly.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was by no means surprised by Livia's reaction; that girl sure had her mother's stubborness. But it was clear to Jess that Livia was in no condition to work.
"Liv, listen to me. I will find out what's going on, but I don't think that you're in any condition to work right now," Jess gently told her partner, "and I think it will be the best for all parts if you just stay put, okay?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Of course Olivia was stubborn. It was the red hair genes. Liv took a deep clensing breath and firmly stared at Jess. Color was even returning to her pale face. She looked from Jean to Jess and said, "It probably would be best, but I want to come." Her chin even stuck out defiantly as she said it.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Even though Jess wanted to tell her partner to go home and take it easy, she understood that Livia at least wanted to be near the investegation.
"Fine," Jess said, "but promise me that you'll go home if you're not up to it."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"I promise," Liv said holding up two fingers. "Detective's honor," She said smiling, despite the grim situation.
"So should we get a sample of this and take it down to Warner?" Olivia started when her phone rang.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess shook her head. She laid her hands on Livia's shoulders and marched Livia out of the room. "No, first of all, CSU's downstairs in Donnelly's office, they can probably come up here and do it, and secondly, you and I are going back to the precinct, and I'm parking you with paperwork," Jess said sternly.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Olivia tried to stop her partner from steering her outside of the room, but was trying to listen to the phone, she put the phone on speaker and held it out to Jess.
"Ms. Novak," The phone was saying, the voice on the other end distorted. "As you might already know, I have Elizabeth Donnelly. And apparently, your mother." The voice laughed cruely. "Now, I assure you they are fine. For now. If you listen to what I say."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was shocked to hear the voice on the phone, but needed to keep it together for Livia's sake. She continued to lead her partner out of the room, and shouted at one of the officer in the hall and told him to get CSU up to Novak's office, and then she called M.E Warner and told her that she wanted to know as soon as there was anything to know.
"Come on Liv, she said as she opened the door to the passenger seat of her car. She was planning on driving the both of them back to the precinct; there was no way in hell she'd leave Liv alone right now.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Olivia nodded, dumbfounded, as the man hung up the phone. She closed her own phone shut and stared blankly at Jess. She heard her partner yet briefly at the CSU officers and the next thing she knew was that she was being driven to the Precinct. But the only thing she could think about was the man's message, playing over and over inside her mind.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Liv!" Jess exclaimed for the third time, and finally catching her partner's attention.
"Hm?" Liv uttered absentmindedly and stared up at Jess, who was standing with the passenger door open, waiting for Liv to get out.
Jess lead her partner up to the squad room and sat her down on the couch upstairs. "I'll be right back," she promised as she walked downstairs to hear what CSU had so far.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Olivia nodded, still dumbfounded by what she had heard on the phone. She opened her phone and silently pressed the reply button to hear the man's cruel message again.
"Good day Miss Novak. As you might already know, I have Elizabeth Donnelly. And apparently, your mother." The voice laughed cruely. "Now, I assure you they are fine. For now. If you listen to what I say." The voice stopped for a heartshattering laugh before continuing. "I'm sure your 'detectives' are already looking for ways to catch me. But seeing as I am wearing gloves AND I'm using a pay phone, you probably won't." The voice paused for a moment. "Now your mother and Judge Donnelly are doing well, here you may speak to them."
There was a moment of silence before Casey Novak's voice came in clearly through the phone's speakers. "Liv? Olivia? Its okay. Its okay sweetheart. Don't worry. I'll be fine. Don't let him--" And then her voice was cut off by the man again.
"Ooh naughty, naughty." The man teased. "She'll have to be punished for that."
That was when Liv lost it. She slammed her phone shut, threw it at the wall and shouted, "NO!" to the empty crib.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was on the phone with one of the guys from CSU, and was told that they didn't find any prints, but there was a fair amount of blood. They were going to test it to see if some of it belonged to the perp.
Just after Jess shut her phone, she heard a scream coming from the crib and ran upstairs. "Liv!?" she exclaimed as she opened the door and went inside.
