Olivia's first meeting with Bureau Chief Michael Cutter, I thought it would be fun to mess around with these two characters. Hope y'all like:-D

Disclaimer: I do not Law & Order: SVU and its characters.

The Shakra Cafe and Bistro

Centre Street, Manhattan, NY

Benson took a bite of her taco. It felt strange no longer having a partner to share her lunch hour with.

"Excuse me?"

She glanced up to see a handsome man dressed in a suit stand before her, laden with a cup of coffee and a plastic container with what looked like Greek salad enclosed inside of it.

"I couldn't help but notice you're eating alone," the man said. "Mind if I join you?"

"Sure, take a seat," she said to him with her mouth full. She quickly realised that she had salsa smeared on her cheek, and reached for a paper napkin.

"I'm Mike by the way," he introduced himself, as he took a seat across from her.

"Olivia," she returned, her mouth still full of food after taking another bite. She felt the contents of her taco slip from its casing, and fall into her lap. She groaned in annoyance as she grabbed another couple of napkins.

He removed the lid from his cup of coffee, eying her NYPD badge. "Are you new around here, I've never seen you before?"

She gave him a fleeting look as she cleaned herself up. "Ah no, I've worked SVU for about 13 years now."

Mike handed her another handful of napkins, a wry smile forming on his lips. "Well I find that hard to believe since I always notice the pretty ones."
