Tangled Webs II: Normal For The Spider - An SVU fic

10.Closer

Three weeks later...

He'd gotten restless in the weeks that followed Casey. For over a month he kept a low profile as he planned - stalked and planned for his next two, and final kills but they hadn't made it easy. The cunt judge...It was just a matter of finding the right moment when he could breach her security and get to her but the cop...she was a whole other kind of difficult!

In addition to security, she has a husband who never leaves her side...and he's big - a fact that scared Faust but he figured that if it came down to it, he would just have to deal with the guy if all else failed...but he prayed that it wouldn't come to that.

He had developed a taste for the kill beyond just that of the five women he'd originally targeted. And before a month had fully passed, the urge came again and with no way of getting close to his intended victims, he wandered out into the night to seek someone that no one would miss and who could satisfy his urge. Nothing else mattered, not even the possibility that he may be infected with the AIDS virus. He was past the point of caring.

"Hey papi, whatchu lookin for?" the young woman in the bikini top and micro-mini skirt asked while loudly and annoyingly popping the gum in her mouth. It was easy to tell that she wore no panties underneath. He was interested.

"How much?"

"25 to suck yo dick, 50 to fuck" she said and licked her already over-glossed lips.

Whores! Every single one of them, whether they were walking the stroll or living within a white picket fence, they were all whores and they all had a price! But he would show this little whore; he'd show her good!

After he'd fucked her to within an inch of her life, just as she was coming he wrapped his hands around her neck and squeezed and when she realized what was happening and tried to fight, clawing at his hands as it became harder to breathe, he squeezed harder, taking pleasure in her struggle and as her eyeballs bulged from her head and her pulse faded beneath his hands, he felt powerful!

"Who knows" he thought "Maybe once they find out that it was me they'll be stupid enough to look away again! Idiot pigs!

"What do we got?" Fin asked as he and Amanda approached Melinda, them having just arrived at the crime scene underneath the subway platform in Spanish Harlem. It was 3am and they'd been disturbed from their respective sleeps; to say that they were both somewhat grumpy was an understatement.

"Dead hooker" Melinda said as she kneeled over the body of the young Puerto Rican girl in front of her.

"Hooker? I got suits older than this girl!" No matter how much depravity the seasoned Sergeant had seen over the years, it never got easier, especially when it came to children and Fin could tell with all certainty that this victim was still a baby.

"15 according to some of the other working girls, Selena Rodriguez, went by the name Heavenly. From the looks of it raped, strangled and dumped." Melinda informed Fin and Amanda

"Christ!" Amanda mumbled

"Fluids?" Fin asked as he looked at the body

"Semen. Vaginal and anal; blood and skin under her nails...she fought while she was dying"

"What psycho rapes and murders a kid then dumps her naked in an alley?" Fin angrily wondered aloud

"The kind who obviously doesn't care about getting caught!

...

After a long night of interviewing witnesses who really weren't since no one saw anything - at least not that they would admit, Fin and Amanda finally made their way back to the house just as the sun had come up over the city and now they were working hard trying to make sense of what little information they could get out of the other working girls who knew young Selena while praying that CODIS would give them a match on the fluids they'd collected.
