*Bernadette's Apartment (3:14p)*"Mrs. Stabler, how are doing?" Bell sincerely asks. She hates to confuse the poor woman more than she is already. Good thing is, Bernadette's memory isn't too bad. Granted she has her moments. Thankfully though, her dementia wasn't acting up as it usually is and it helped all 3 of her so sons came to see her.
"I'm fine dear. All of my sons have come to visit. Did I forget a family lunch? Oh I have to call my grandkids and tell them"Mrs. Stabler utters.
"It's okay Ma. There's no family lunch," Randall explains as he guides his ma to a seat.
"Then why are you guys all here? And the police? Am I in trouble?"
Stabler gives his ma a small smile as he tries to calm her nerves," No ma, nothing like that. Randall, Joe and I just want to spend time with you".
"Oh. Okay. I like that. You should help me cook Randall. Where's your brother?"
"Who ma?" El turns his head in question occasionally glancing at his siblings.
"Joe...Joe jr. I haven't seen him since he asked for his sick day money" she relays in a worried tone.
"He's here" Elliott reassures.
"Okay. Oh Randall tell Elliott to call me. I want to check on him"
Elliott looks at his older brother, urging him to play along although she was really speaking to Elliott. "I will ma" Randall answers as he nods his head, allowing Elliott to continue with work. Stabler catches up with the Sergeant Bell and Detective Bruno and they fill him in on the game plan for the rest of the week. "So I'll be between here and your place. Detective Bruno has offered to stay with your brothers and mom with a uni. Sergeant Tutuola will be on duty at your place and Captain Benson's-"Sergeant Bell explains.
"You think the Captain is going to go for that," Stabler cuts off.
"No but Tutuola said he'll talk to her," she clarifies as she continues to run down the rest of the plan."There will be at least 2 of us posted at all 3 locations. The rest of NYPD are on overtime and looking for anything Keith Lewis or the Romanians may have left behind digitally or physically"
"If the information about his father were true...this kids not going to leave anything. He's to meticulous and intelligent for that. The kid probably has a 160 IQ."
"So how to you want to go about this? What would you have Jet and Vargas look for?"
"Honestly nothing. He's been watching, studying how we do things. He understands that procedure and process."
Bell sighs. Being tired and toyed with only frustrates her. Trying to figure out what makes him tick. Why would he go after Benson now? Didn't he read his father's eulogy? Isn't he aware of what his father was? Bunch of questions most of the crew are asking. The NYPD could theorize anything that would make sense and answer any concerns they had.*Static starts on the walkie*
"I will meet with Captain Benson and ONLY the Captain. If I suspect anyone with her, there will be hell." The radio cuts back off.
Confused but focused Bell clarifies,"I guess Alpha 1 and Beta 2 didn't spot him. I need everything on this kid. Age? Residency? Adoptive parents? Anything you can get. I need to know what soft spot he has"
"If he has one," Stabler adds as he heads down to the OC squad room.
