Chapter 1: Quit
Read and please let me know what you think... Now here we go...
"I quit!" Olivia screamed at her partner for nine years Elliot Stabler.
"Go ahead quit!" Elliot responded with equal furry. Heads in the precinct started to turn as the voices rose.
"Maybe if you were doing you job, that kid would be alive now. So go ahead quit!" Olivia turned big brown eyes filled with anger aimed at him.
"I hate you! I hate you I wish I never met!" she yelled and stormed out of the precinct. But she knew one thing Elliot was right! If she was doing her job that little girl would still be alive.
Elliot sat at his desk looking at the picture of the little girl, so innocent, dead. Not for the life of him could he understand why, or even how Olivia managed to lose the perp. He knew the words he said to her were harsh, but he couldn't help himself. She had that effect on him, always getting beneath his skin.
"Stabler, my office now." Cragen yelled as he walked in. Rolling eyes Elliot got and followed the Captain to his office and closed the door behind them.
"Want to tell me why Olivia handed in her resignation?" he asked, knowing that somehow Elliot contributed to the fact that she was leaving.
"What?" he knew she said she was quitting but he didn't actually believe that she would leave the unit. She just couldn't. He thought slowly getting out of his seat.
"She emailed it to me last night."
"Captain don't file it yet, I need to talk with her." Elliot said and ran out Cragen's office.
The drive to her apartment seemed long and the miles seemed to go on forever, finally he pulled into a parking lot beside her building. What am I going to say? He thought as he rang the buzzer.
"Go away I don't want to talk to you." Olivia said standing behind the door.
"But I want to talk to you." he said calmly resting his head against the door. Slowly she door and he strode in like he was invited.
"Liv-"
"No Elliot, I can't do this any more. We don't win anymore, Casey and Lake are gone, you and I we fight all the time I can't do it any more." she said softly sitting on the handle of the couch.
"But Liv, I don't want you to quit." he said honestly. Knowing he couldn't live without seeing her everyday.
"Elliot I can't not anymore. I need to build my own life."
"But you have a life dammit! You're my partner and you said you would be my partner for live!" he said with conviction he needed her to stay, he couldn't, wouldn't let her go.
"I'm burnt out Elliot, this job... I just can't do it any more."
"Why not?"
Okay so let me know what you think.
