So, the holidays wouldn't be complete without a Christmas in the SVU squad! Yeah, I know, it's a little late, but I've handwritten the rough draft for this story a long time ago. I just got behind in my other two recent stories I have posted. So...Dick Wolf is enjoying his holidays because he owns the original characters, but I own all the made up ones! Enjoy!
"In the criminal justice system, sexually-based defenses are considered especially hei…hey! We don't need the intro this time! Get on with the story!"
Sincerely,
The SVU Squad
SVU Squad Room
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005
Cragen was staying up late in the squad room looking around the closet upstairs in the crib.
"Damn it, where are those boxes?" he grumbled as moved some boxes around.
The past few weeks had been nothing, but cases. Now this week, it seemed the crime rate dropped to an all-time low. So the squad finished what was left of their case load and now were focused on the most challenging case of all.
Christmas.
Yes, the holidays officially arrived last Friday when Novak announced she had won her last case that Benson and Stabler had given her. The slowed crime rate began to show itself at the beginning of the week before. Now, the squad was free to do whatever they pleased. For most of the squad, it was Christmas shopping. For Cragen, it was trying to figure out what he did the squad room Christmas decorations.
"I know I put them up here," said Cragen, straightening up and scratching his bald spot, "It's just trying to remember…"
He looked above him and saw the box labeled, "XMAS STUFF."
"Yes!" he exclaimed as he pulled them down.
He carried the box down stairs and began to pull stuff out. He then realized that he was missing the big tree, so he went upstairs again, grabbed the box with the fake tree, and brought it down to the squad.
"We'll do this tomorrow," he muttered as he set the box down with the fake tree.
He returned to the first box he brought down to the squad room. It had stockings, garland, and lights.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas…," Cragen began to sing as he took out the garland and began to trim the squad room entrance doors.
So what do you think? R&R please.
