{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Livia heard Jess' matter-of-fact tone and bristled even more. "Yes I know I heard my mother," She said angrilly to her partner. "But did that ever stop her when she was beaten up? Did it Jess?" She continued angrilly, tears forming in her hazel eyes again.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess sighed. "Yes, it did, you know very well your mother didn't prosecute that case," Jess said softly.
"Liv, I know that when my case was going to trial, there was nothing I wanted more but to be able to help, but I know, at least now, that I couldn't. Some things we just have to step aside and let others do," Casey gently told her daughter as she stroked her hand in an effort to calm her down.
"Yesh, she's right," Jess said, "I need you to trust me and let me handle it, can you do that?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"She would have if Barnes hadn't stopped her," Livia said stubbornly, the pain medication starting to take effect again on her tried body. She let her mother stroke her hand while she thought, 'They're just trying to help you Liv. Stop refusing it.'.
Livia looked Jess in the eyes after a moment of silence. She didn't say a word, but silently nodded her head before leaning her head against her mother's arm. She then felt her mother place a hand on her head, gently stroking her mussed hair.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess saw Livia drifting back to sleep. When she got her hands on the bastard that did this to her partner, she wanted to beat the crap out of him. -----------
As the morning came Jess, who had only gotten 4 hours of sleep that night, went into the precinct; she was supposed to interview the older woman who had seen parts of the attack, and also she was expecting the results of the evidence collected at the crime scene.
She stepped into the interview room, and found an elderly lady with grey hair sit on one side of the table. "Mrs. Spreld, I'm Detective Walked, and I wanted to ask you some questions."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Janice Spreld looked up nervously at the angry looking woman who had stepped into the interviewing room. Maybe coming in wasn't such a good idea after all. She patted her greying hair nervously before nodding.
"Go ahead Detective," Janice said softly, her voice shaking slightly with a tremor that had developed over the years. "Ask away, I'm glad that I can help you with your investigation, but can you tell me if that other young woman made it through okay?" She asked gently, "I asked someone but they couldn't give me a direct answer."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Uhm, yes, she's gonna be fine," Jess told the woman, "eventually," Jess added in her mind.
"So, Mrs. Spreld, I'm aware of the fact that you've already talked to some police officers about the incident, but I need you to think real hard about this," Jess said, putting on a nice face and voice so that Mrs. Spreld wouldn't be stressed.
"That night, and think really hard now, are there any details, any at all, that you can recall about this man's appearance?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Janice nodded. "Thats good," She said cheerfully before noticing the grim expression on Jess' face. Then her smile reduced by a few molars and the elderly lady sat silently with a somber expression on her face.
"Oh well, he was tall and he... he wasn't... well he wasn't black," Mrs. Spreld said, her face flushing. "He had dark hair and I couldn't see his face, but it seemed he was almost limping when he ran away from the girl." She shuddered as she recalled the memory of what had happened. "Poor girl, she was bleeding from what I could see."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess nodded and scribbled down what Mrs. Spreld told her and gave her a smile. "Okay, do you remember seeing him with some sort of object, perhaps hitting our victim with it?" Jess asked; it broke her heart knowing that the victim was one of her closest friends.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Mrs. Spreld shook her head. "No..." She started before interrupting herself. "He had a bat. Or a metal pipe. You know the ones they use at construction sites?" She asked.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Yeah, yeah," Jess nodded eagerly and wrote it down. She was just about to open her mouth and ask another question, when Elliot knocked on the door and peeked her in.
"Hey, Jess, Warner just called, she has the results of the forensics on your case," he told her. Jess nodded, and Elliot closed the door.
After finishing up with her witness, Jess stepped into the sqaudroom and before heading down to the M.E's office she asked if someone could get a patrol to search the area for the perp's assault weapon.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}When Olivia opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was that her mother was fast asleep in the chair by her bed. Livia observed her mother with a weak smile. Casey Novak was always put together and it made Liv feel bad to put her in such a disarray.
Her mom's hair was matted and her mouth was slightly ajar. Livia then spotted her mother's phone and she was able to grab it. At first she was unsure who to call but she settled on Jess. She had something to tell her partner.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta sat at her desk with the evidence. She hadnt slept in 3 days. Using her skills in forensics, she had helped the lab study the evidence from the crime scene. Elliot had gone to get Jess. While he was gone she laid her head on the desk for a few Z's.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was well on her way to the M.E's office, but she knew Aggie probably wasn't aware of that; she had fallen asleep on her desk working on some of their evidence. Jess normally would have woken her up, but she knew that Aggie hadn't slept at all lately, and if she had woken her, she'd probably go straight back to work. So Jess had just let her be.
As Jess pulled up at the M.E's office, her cell rang. She could hear Livia's voice on the other side. "Liv? Are you okay? Is everything alright?"

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"Good morning to you too," Liv laughed hoarsely. "I'm fine, Jess," Livia whispered as she ducked down to avoid being caught by an orderly. "I remembered something though." She added. "You'll have to come back down though, if you have time." She added quickly.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess was a bit confused by Livia's statement. "Liv? Are you sure everything's okay?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. Jess knew she should go in and hear what the M.E had found in their forensics, but on the other hand, she was worried about Liv. She called and said she'd come down to the lab in an hour, and drove off to see Livia.
