A/N: Specially written for my dear friend, Amy. Much love to you for the suggestion!

"Alright guys, Liv has taken some personal time off so I am stepping in for her for the time-being," Chief Dodds announces to the squad. Fin, Nick, and Amanda all look at each other before looking back at the chief. "Okay." Fin speaks up as they go back to doing their paperwork. Olivia was out on the road, heading to Atlanta, Georgia to pay a visit to someone. Not telling the squad, especially Amanda, where she was going. She decided to use some of her vacation days, unusual for the seasoned detective. But she had to do this. She had arranged to meet Patton somewhere. A skeevy dive bar was the place he'd chosen. She researched the place of where the location was and then drove there.

She walked into the bar, looking around for him. Then her chocolate orbs locked onto him. Olivia walked up to him. "Hey," he greeted Olivia. "Hi," she sat on the barstool next to him. "What'll you have?" The bartender asked the both of them. "Scotch on the rocks, with a twist," Patton tells the bartender. "Tequila. Patrón." Olivia tells the bartender. She goes to make the drinks. "Patrón eh? Amanda's favorite drink is patrón." Patton noted. "I know. She got me hooked to it," Olivia says smugly. Both of them got their drinks, Patton swirled his drink around before taking a sip. "So, what brings you to Atlanta, Sargent?" Patton asked the seasoned detective. "What? A person can't come exploring places?" She raised her eyebrow as she threw back her drink. He'd admired how skilled the woman was at tossing back her drinks without making a face or coughing. "You know... they say a woman who throws back tequila without making a face has been sent straight from the devil," Patton commented. "Hmm..," Liv chuckled despite that she hated the man's guts. "Well, I better get on outta here." Liv says, getting up from her seat.

"I'll head out with you. Don't wanna keep my wife up for too much longer." Much to Olivia's dismay, she continued to throw her money onto the bar before walking out. Patton followed in suit. "Hey, it was nice talking to you," the older man says to the brunette. She scoffed as she turned around, facing Patton. The warm Georgia wind blowing lightly in the night. She stepped closer to Patton. He looked up and down at the brunette. She threw a hard punch at the older man. Knocking the wind out of him. "The hell?" He managed to say weakly. She continued to punch him several more times before quickly walking away. Olivia got into her car and drove away, feeling happy. She checks into a hotel.

Around 2 am, she hears a knock on her hotel door. She was puzzled as to who it could've been. She'd hope that it wasn't one of her detectives that had traced her cell and track the gps down. She opened the door. "Olivia Benson, you're under arrest for the assault of Chief Deputy Charles Patton. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?" The officer says as he handcuffed Olivia. "Yes," she says smugly as she is escorted out of the hotel. Several bystanders took pictures/videos of it going on. By the time APD arrived at the station, news vans were already at the station with microphones and cameras rolling, shouting at Olivia asking about her motive and what her reasonings were for attacking the Chief Deputy of Atlanta Police. They processed her and got her into booking.

The very next morning was a slow morning for the SVU squad of Manhattan. "Yo, turn on the news." Nick says as he walks in from the break room. Fin presses the on button. News anchors all across the nation were talking about Olivia being arrested for the assault of Chief Deputy Charles Patton of the Atlanta Police department. Chief Dodds was shocked and ashamed that one of New York's finest detectives had pulled a stunt like that. Fin's eyes were wide open in shock. Amanda grabbed her phone and her jacket. "I gotta go...," She says. Chief Dodds tried to stop her, but Fin said to let her go. Amanda scoffed at Olivia's behavior. She couldn't believe the older brunette would've done a thing like that. She needed answers, and she needed them now.

She hopped in her car, speeding off to the interstate making her way to Atlanta. She lit up a cigarette as she hopped onto the highway, revving the gas mildly as she signaled her way on. Dragging hits off the stick occasionally until it was finished. She had a lot of things running through her mind. She knew that Liv wasn't Patton's type. But a person can change when they've gotten known motives for rape. A few hours later, she pulled up to the APD. Rolling her eyes, sighing deeply in despair that she didn't want to be there. But it was for Olivia.

She flashed her badge as she asked to see Olivia. She gets escorted to the visitors section and takes a seat as Olivia is escorted into the room with a corrections officer. She flashed a smile as she saw Amanda. "Hi," she says happily. Amanda had a scowl on her face. "Why the fuck did you do that?" She spat at Olivia, not realizing the woman was ever so childish to pull such a stunt. "I-...," the older woman faltered at words. It took her a moment to muster up what she had to say to the young blonde. She sighed as she looked into the young detective's eyes. Such a beautiful blue color. "Amanda... I did it because I love you. It wasn't fair that he could do what he did to you and walk away freely. No one fucks around with the people I love like that. He broke you. I couldn't stand to see you like that...," Olivia began tearing up as she recalled the nights that she had to rescue Amanda from having too many drinks at the bar. Late night talks with Amanda as she sobered up. Both women had grown closer since then. "Liv... I... I don't know what to say...," Amanda sighed as she blinked quickly, looking up at the ceiling, trying not to cry. "I... no one has ever had my back the way you do. Except for Fin. But you're my best friend and I can't stand to see that you got into trouble because of me." She put her hands onto the table, holding Olivia's hands. "Thank you Liv...," Amanda smiled softly. "And... I love you too," she said softly. Olivia broke into a smile as she locked eyes with the young detective.
