"Elliot, Olivia my office now." the two detectives looked at each other questioningly before shrugging and walking towards his office.
"Whatever it is, we didn't do it." Elliot said.
"Honestly," Olivia said, still looking at the captain with raised eyebrows. "So, what did we do that we aren't aware of?"
"Nothing." Don said, leaning back and placing his feet on his desk. "I have a special assignment for you."
"Really?" they said in unison.
"What wonderful thing are we going to be doing?"
"Traveling to Seattle."
"What?" they said, once again in unison. Olivia jumped up.
"Why are we going all the way to Seattle? How long are we going to be there?"
"I dunno," he said, calmly. "It could be as little as a week or as long as a month."
"Captain, with all do respect, I have a life here. Why are we going to Seattle?" Elliot asked, trying to remain grounded to make up for Olivia.
"If you would both calm down for two seconds, I would love to explain why you are going to Seattle." he said as Olivia stopped pacing and sat down, and Elliot leaned forward placing his head in his hands. "Okay, now I got a call this morning from Seattle Police Department. Apparently, they have the local hospital on their ass because they have been getting rape victims like no one's business."
"And what does this have to do with us?" Olivia asked, uncrossing and re-crossing her legs. The captain sighed.
"Well, they have had cut funding to the police department. Don't ask why; I didn't ask. They decided that with little funding cutting their sex crimes unit would the best way to save some extra money. So with no sex crimes unit they are ill equipped to deal with these crimes."
"Still, that doesn't explain why us? Why not Queens SVU or somewhere closer to Seattle?"
"The doctor at the hospital had a special request for you." he said to Elliot.
"Me, why--- wait a minute, is the hospital Seattle Grace?"
"Yes I believe so." the captain said, looking over his notes. "A Dr.---"
"Derek Shepherd."
"Yea, that's it." Don said, his eyebrows raised. "So how do you know Dr. Shepherd."
"He came from New York, moved almost two years ago. We hung out sometimes, you know when I had time. Kathy and I used to spend time with him and his wife, Addison. She was Kathy's OB/GYN; that's how we met her." he said, laughing, probably thinking about his past. "So knowing a doctor has finally come back to haunt me." Olivia laughed.
"So when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning. You have the rest of the day off to pack and get yourselves ready."
"Just one question," Olivia said as Don nodded. "Who's going to work our cases, without us, then you will get behind here?"
"We're bringing in some temporary replacements. They can cover while you're there. Seattle was so adamant about getting you two though, I couldn't refuse." he said as they began to stand. "Your flight is at six in the morning. Seattle is expecting you around noon. Their captain will brief you with what he knows, and then they will send you over to Seattle Grace since they know more about the crimes than even the police department knows."
"Great." they said, walking out the door.
"Hopefully we'll be back in a few days and if not, we'll see you in a month."
"Try to enjoy yourselves." Don said as they walked away. They both turned and made faces at him.
