My Luna
"Will somebody please help me?" A man shouted as he entered the squad room. Olivia quickly stood up from her desk, holding her hands up as she walked towards the victim. She was going to take this nice and slow.
"Hold on, I'm Detective Benson. What's happened?" She questioned. Quickly, she took in pieces of him that she could identify. Late twenties, about 6'2", blue eyes, and unmistakable white hair. He was clean shaved and was wearing a blue hoodie.
"Someone's kidnapped my baby!" He exclaimed, his eyes showing fear. He looked like he was about to cry as he tightened his fists.
"Where did you last see your baby?" Elliot asked, quickly joining in on the conversation. Children were Elliot's weakest points. If a child was in danger, he would do anything to protect them.
"Um, last night. I put Luna down for bed and when I woke up she was gone." He stammered, trying to remember everything. Who would take his baby? Why was this happening to him?
"What's your name?" Elliot asked as he quickly put on his coat. Olivia followed suit, going to her desk, grabbing everything she needed.
"Jackson Frost," He quickly answered. "Will you please find my baby?" He quickly pleaded.
"Sir, we are going to do everything we can," Olivia assured. "Now, do you have any other children? Wife? Girlfriend?" She rambled, trying to get an idea about their home life as Elliot called in a missing child report.
"My wife, Rapunzel," Jackson answered. "What does that have to do with anything? Go find my Luna!" He demanded, tears brimming his blue eyes.
"Where do you live?" She added, ignoring his questions. She didn't have time for it. A child was missing. They could be raped, tortured, or killed. If they were lucky, it was none of them.
"We live in Queens. A small apartment building by Perfect You, where Rapunzel works." He replied. He had to find his baby if it was the last thing he'd do. Luna meant the world to him.
"Liv, let's go." Elliot butted in, pulling her from the conversation. They headed out the door with Munch and Fin on their tail. Everyone was going all in to find this baby.

"Has anyone contacted the mother yet?" Elliot asked as they began searching the streets, looking for any evidence. Fin shook his head as they looked through trash bag after trash bag.
"Couldn't get a hold of her. 'Parently she's in some big meeting." He explained. Elliot shook his head, personal thoughts going through his mind. Every minute they spent wasting was another minute the baby could be killed. You would think the mother would care about her baby.
"Guys, I found something." Olivia stated, calling over the other three. She picked up a picture with her glove, trying not to get any fingerprints on the evidence.
"Looks like Jack and what must be Rapunzel." Elliot replied as he looked at the family. The edges were slightly ripped and it looked like it had been soaking in the rain. Whatever was written on the back was now smudged.
"Whoever did this obviously knew the couple well. Better start asking about friends and family." John added, walking back towards his car with Fin close behind. Olivia nodded her head and continued looking through the bag.
"Look, El," she commanded. "Baby clothes, baby toys." She explained as she sorted through the bag.
"Everything a baby would ever need. Whoever did this isn't going to kill the girl. They're gonna keep her as their own." He finished, looking at everything in the bag. Diapers, fresh clothes, even a few bottles.
Elliot took out his glove and grabbed a bottle. "Let's take this back for DNA. Maybe our kidnapper left some fingerprints on this." He smiled, holding up the glass bottle.
"And we can get the baby's DNA." Olivia added.

"So, Jack, have you thought about anyone who would want to steal your baby?" John asked as he sat on the edge of the table. Jack shook his head, his blue eyes showing anxiety.
"No one. Luna was loved by everyone. No one would want to hurt her." He quickly answered. Fin walked up beside John.
"Someone you know took Luna. Was there anyone who had a key to your apartment? Did anyone stop by last night?" Fin questioned, trying to maybe get some information out of the guy, but he was a wreck.
Jack scratched his head, thinking hard. He just wanted his baby safe in his arms again. "The only people who have keys to the apartment are me and Rapunzel. But Rapunzel's boss did stop by last night to drop off some paperwork." Jack explained, pieces coming back to him.
"What kind of paperwork?" Fin pressed. Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"You know, the usual. Rapunzel is really good at math and accounting. She just had to punch a few numbers for Elsa and then she left." He answered. That was all it was. Rapunzel had added a few numbers wrong and quickly fixed them. It was no big deal.

"Perfect You is your basic trading center. We have the top equipment to get the perfect look. We have everything here from personal trainers to plastic surgery. Anything you need, we have." Elsa explained as she gave them a slight tour.
"Like a stolen baby?" Elliot asked. Elsa turned around, spotting Olivia and his badge. "Special Victims Unit. I'm Detective Stabler. This is my partner, Detective Benson." He introduced.
"You think I stole a baby?" Elsa scoffed, cocking her eyebrow. These cops were insane. "I have no reason to steal a baby. I'm perfectly happy without a child, thank you very much."
"We aren't here to accuse you of stealing a baby, Elsa. We're here to talk to Rapunzel Frost." Olivia explained, sticking her hands into her pockets. Elsa nodded her head and lead them towards Rapunzel's office.
They knocked on her door and let themselves in. When they entered the room, they saw a pretty blonde with bright green eyes. They immediately recognized her as the girl from the picture. "Can I help you?" She asked, standing from her desk.
"Rapunzel, these are detectives. They need to ask a few questions." Elsa explained before she walked out of the room. Rapunzel furrowed her eyebrows, walking towards them.
"Have I done something wrong?" She quickly asked, fear starting to show on her face.
"No, no. You haven't done anything wrong," Elliot explained, trying to figured this out in his head. How was he supposed to tell her this? "But someone else has. Rapunzel, someone has stolen Luna."
"What?" Rapunzel gasped, starting to panic as she grabbed her chair and sat down, her limbs becoming limp. "Oh god, who would do this?" She exclaimed.
"That's what we're trying to figure out," Olivia replied. "Rapunzel, we're going to need to take you down to the station and ask you a few questions, okay?" She added. Rapunzel quickly nodded her head as she grabbed her jacket and rushed out of the room.

"Have we found the baby yet?" Cragen questioned as he entered the squad room. Every police officer was at the phone answering every call. They had sent out an AMBER alert for a 14 month old with blonde hair and brown eyes.
"No one has seen baby Luna," Olivia sighed as she placed her phone back on the receiver. "Every call I get isn't even close to Luna."
"Well keep looking," Cragen replied. "We need to find that baby!" He shouted, trying to motivate everyone to keep their chins up.
"Has Warner come back with the DNA results?" Elliot asked as he hung up his phone, taking his feet down from his desk. He ran his fingers through his hair. Where was this baby? If this baby was on the streets, by now, she would be starving.
"Are you psychic?" Warner stated as entered the room. Elliot and Olivia smiled as they walked towards their most trusted doctor. "Rapunzel is definitely the mother, but Jack is not the father."
"We figured. Basic genetics 101, green eyes and blue eyes can't have a brown eyed baby. It's impossible." Elliot answered, taking the results from her hands, opening up the files and taking a quick glance at the reports.
"Now you're doing my job?" Warner teased, a smile growing on her face.
Olivia let out a sigh as this information was brought to the light. "Let me guess. We don't have the father in the system."
"Actually, he is." Warner, replied, her face becoming stern.
"Who?" Elliot asked, furrowing his eyebrows. It was pretty unusual that the person they were looking for was actually in the system. It always seemed like they had to track them down.
"Eugene Fitzherbert." Fin answered, walking towards the board. Everyone cocked their eyebrow, wondering how Fin knew. "His prints were all over that bottle."
"Looks like you guys don't need me." Warner laughed as she left the room. Elliot, Olivia, and John headed towards the board, ready to find more information. They all looked at his arrest picture. He had brown eyes, brown hair, and was definitely a ladies man.
"What he do?" Olivia asked, hoping this man wasn't in for kidnapping or rape.
"He's got a few charges for theft," Fin explained. "He has about five more open cases, but there's hardly any evidence."
"Got a house address?" Elliot asked, slipping on his coat.
"What a coincidence. Lives in Queens about two blocks from the Frost's." John answered.
"Let's go pay Eugene a friendly visit." Olivia smiled as they headed out the door.

Elliot knocked on the door, slightly rolling his blue eyes. "Mr. Fitzherbert!" He called, pounding a little harder. Eventually, the door opened revealing the suspect.
"Can I help you?" Eugene asked, slightly checking out Olivia.
"I'm Detective Stabler. This is my partner, Detective Benson. We would like to ask you a few questions." Elliot smiled, hoping that Eugene would let them in. Eugene eyed them, knowing something fishy was going on.
"Is this about my last theft? Because the last officer said I was free to go." He quickly argued. He wasn't going to jail again. He was too charming and too handsome to spend time in that forsaken place.
"This is actually about this little girl." Olivia answered, holding a picture of baby Luna. Eugene snatched the picture and looked it over.
"I don't know this baby. I've never seen it before." He replied, furrowing his eyebrows. He handed the photo back, becoming more confused than ever.
"Congratulations," Elliot smirked. "You're a father." He added. Eugene was really extremely lost now. He was a father? He opened the door, letting Olivia and Elliot inside.
They entered the living room, immediately spotting the cigarette packs and bottles of booze. This guy likes to party, huh? Elliot scanned around the room, looking for any signs of a baby in the house. "I'm a dad? Well who's the mother?" Eugene asked Olivia.
"Rapunzel," Olivia answered. "Rapunzel Frost. Remember her?" Olivia questioned, tilting her head. Eugene shook his head as baby cries filled the room. Elliot immediately took off upstairs with Olivia close behind.
"No! Wait!" Eugene shouted as they took off after them. Elliot opened the door, seeing the baby crying in the crib. Gently, he reached down and picked up baby Luna.
"Hi, sweetheart," Elliot grinned as he held the baby in his arms. Luna calmed down, hearing his gentle voice as he gently rocked her. "Don't worry, Luna. We're gonna take you back to your momma."
"I swear, this isn't what it looks like." Eugene argued. Elliot and Olivia turned around, their faces stern and angry.
"Never seen this baby before, huh?" Elliot spat.
"Eugene Fitzherbert, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Luna Frost. You have the right to remain silent. You give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you-" Olivia rambled off as she tightened handcuffs around his wrists.
"No wait! Please!"
"You have the right to an attorney." Olivia continued, ignoring his pleas. She didn't have sympathy for kidnappers.

"Why did you kidnap Luna?" Fin demand, interrogating Eugene. John circled around them, thinking of ways to get Eugene to talk. "Was it because you found you were the real father?"
"I-I didn't know I was Luna's father! I swear!" Eugene quickly stammered, not wanting to take the blame for all of this. As he said before, he didn't want to go back to jail. It was terrible.
"Then why did you kidnap Luna?" John asked, leaning in close, trying to intimidate Eugene.
"I didn't!"
"Don't tell me that Luna just magically appeared in your house." John fired back, making Eugene quickly shake his head.
"I didn't kidnap Luna! Rap dropped her off! She told me she wanted to get back together!" Eugene quickly answered, hoping they would believe him.
Cragen sighed and turned down the volume. "Elliot, Olivia, go interrogate Mrs. Frost. If she dropped Luna off like Eugene says, she's not a victim anymore."

"So when's the last time you've seen Eugene?" Elliot asked, beginning to circle the room as Olivia sat down across from Rapunzel.
"Um, yesterday. He said he wanted to see how I was doing now that he was out of prison." She answered, rubbing her wedding ring up and down her finger. She was trying to calm her nerves.
"Really? Because that's not what Eugene has told us." Olivia smiled, tilting her head. Elliot stopped and leaned on the table, glaring at Rapunzel.
"Why don't you start by telling us the truth? Huh?" He spat, his voice stern. Rapunzel felt the tears beginning to brim her eyes. This wasn't happening. "Why did you drop off Luna at Eugene's house?"
"I didn't! He stole her!" Rapunzel fired back, her voice cracking.
"Oh, come on, Rapunzel. You could do better than that!" Olivia added, joining Elliot's side, showing she wasn't going to be playing nice with Rapunzel. She wasn't going to be her friend.
"But it's the truth!" Rapunzel cried.
"Truth?" Elliot shouted, his voice echoing around the room. "No, we know that's not the truth! We've seen the footage, okay? We saw you opening the door for Eugene at 3:47 this morning!" Elliot roared, his anger getting the best of him.
"Not true! He must have snuck in or something!" She exclaimed, trying to prove her point.
"Really? Really? He must have snuck in?" Elliot replied, his voice going deadly silent. Olivia knew this wasn't going to be good and had to be on edge. "Then why do we have a picture of you, right here, kissing him goodbye?" He spat, slamming his finger against the photo on the table.
"I don't know." She cried, hiding her face behind her hands.
"You don't know," Elliot fake smiled, beginning to frighten Rapunzel. "Did you hear that, Liv? She doesn't know," He chuckled, hoping he could break her. "Little naive Rapunzel doesn't know."
She glared up at him, her heart filling with anger. No one says that about her. She opened her hand and slapped him across the face. "Don't say that about me!" She demanded.
"Rapunzel Frost, you are under arrest for assaulting an officer-" Olivia quickly stated as she cuffed Rapunzel. Rapunzel began to plea as they dragged her out of the interrogation room.

"Hey, Cap't," Fin called, getting Cragen's attention. "Come check this out."
"What is this?" Cragen asked as he looked at the board.
"These are the money records for Perfect You. Eugene said that Rapunzel was stealing money off them and the happy family was going to move to London and leave Jackson behind." Fin explained.
"So that's why she handed off the baby," Cragen sighed. "Well, looks like we have our suspect. All we have to do now is get her to confess." From across the room, you could hear her shouts.
"I did it, okay? I gave Eugene my baby! Is that a crime?" She shouted, sticking her face out from the bars.
"Rapunzel, please calm down." Olivia, stated, holding her hands up.
"Leave me alone, bitch. And keep your ugly assed face partner farther away!" She spat as Elliot walked towards them. "I did everything! I stole from Perfect You. I-I gave Eugene my baby, and I was going to move to London to get away from my stupid husband!" She confessed, getting looks from all of the officers. The truth finally came out.
