Chapter 1: The Assignment

It was beautiful day at the SVU department and all of the detectives were thick in their paperwork, except for one. It was hitting on 12:06 p.m. and Elliot was concerned about Olivia because Cragen was starting to ask questions. Olivia has never ever been late to work without letting Cragen or Elliot know. Elliot has been ringing her phone off the hook because they were supposed to check out a lead for the Johnson case. After eleven calls from Elliot, Olivia decides to answer the phone.

"Yeah El", Olivia said knowing it was him.

"Hey Liv! Are you alright", Elliot said troubled to know the answer to the question.

"Fine"

"Are you coming into work today?"

"Yeah, I will be there in about 30 minutes, okay?" Olivia said with her voice breaking.

"That's cool, Cragen has an assignment for us…Are you sure everything is ok?" Elliot said really worried.

"Yeah it's fine, I'll see ya" Olivia said as she rushed to hang up the phone.

Truthfully … Olivia was not well at all. She spent all night drinking herself into a stupor because; she was actually scared of her feelings for Elliot. She has been fantasizing about Elliot almost every night since his divorce. As she gets dressed for work, she realizes that she must keep her feelings for him under control, so they can maintain a good working relationship. Elliot, on the other hand, has loved Olivia ever since that moment with Gitano and he realized then that he could not live without her. Both was always unsure about how the other feels, but knew that they at least cared for one another.

When Olivia walked through the doors, she went straight to her desk and started doing paper work just like her fellow co-workers. She saw the cold coffee on her desk and knew it came from Elliot, which made her think of how loving and thoughtful he can be. Cragen saw Olivia come through the door and looked at the clock. It was 12:45, and he wanted to go ahead and give the duo the assignment. Elliot walked through the door, and saw Olivia but before he could say anything to her Cragen said, "You two in my office NOW!"

"Yeah Captain, what's up", Olivia said.

"I have an assignment for the both of you. You two will go undercover as a couple to catch a perp that has been raping and killing women. Now, this assignment may be intense because you guys will have to look as if you are a sexual actual item."

Elliot and Olivia eyes dropped to the floor because they knew that this was going to be very difficult for the both of them.



Finally connecting eyes with the Captain, Elliot said, "So what's his name?"

"We don't know very much about him or what kind of parties he has but he calls himself, the Bachelor. Vice told us that he owns a club called "Sweats" located on the outskirts of Manhattan, and he invites certain couples from the club to a special party that he has at a different location. It turns out that some of the women who attend the after party ends up dead and trashed in local alleys." Captain said.

"When do we start?" Olivia said.

Captain said, "Tonight if possible, you guys must have your story knitted well. I will let you guys come up with the logistics yourselves. Please, please, please do not mess this up, because we have no way of cracking this from the outside…So make it believable."

Elliot said, "We will handle it Cap."

"Make sure that you do, and watch each others back… this man is extremely dangerous, he has raped and killed six women already. Elliot… never leave her alone, he likes to sneak up on girls. Keep her safe."

Olivia interrupted, "CAPTAIN! I can take care of myself, thank ya very much!"

Cragen looked to the floor and said, "I know you can… but this guy" he paused and looked at Olivia with pleading eyes and said, "I really do not want you guys to do this operation but you are my best detectives and this job needs to be done before he gets someone else, so just handle it quickly."

Olivia could see the fatherly love in his eyes and just left his words as they were and complied with his request.

"Give Fin and Munch the Johnson case until you guys get finished with this one", the Captain said.

As they walked out of his office, Elliot finally spoke to Olivia and said, "So… when do you want to start getting our story together?"

"El, we don't need a story. All we have to do is just act like we are a couple. Lets just put on a good performance and we will bust him before anything goes crazy. Alright?"

Olivia never connected eyes with Elliot for the whole day with fear that she may be lost in those big blues. Lately, she would catch herself staring at him in ways only a horny woman could imagine. She would fantasize at work and get so wet and worked up that she would have to take a shower to calm down.

It was leaning on 4:36 in the afternoon. Elliot and Olivia were sitting doing paper work and Elliot couldn't help but once and a while stare at Olivia. She could feel him looking at her, but would never give him the satisfaction of looking up. Finally, Elliot got up and went to the basement to search for an old case file but, on his way back, he saw his partner still at her desk. He wanted to talk to her about the mission because he could sense, when staring at her, that she was uneasy.



Elliot leaned down right over Olivia's left shoulder so he could feel the heat from her beautiful face, he spoke in the deepest sensual voice and said, "Can we meet at your place before we…uh…you know do this cause I want to talk."

"What is there to talk about El?"she said frightened to the sound of his voice.

"I just need to talk to you before we leave to go to this club…you know to make sure everything is ok."

"It will be. Just act like I'm your woman and I will pretend that you are my man, we'll just have to imagine that our feelings go beyond platonic." Olivia stated.

"Well… what time do you want me to scoop ya" Elliot said manly.

"Around 'bout 9:30, is that cool?"

"Yeah! What ever is fine with you."

Elliot walked away realizing that Olivia had no eye contact with him throughout the conversation. He felt like she did not care about the operation which made him feel relaxed about everything. He assumed since she was cool with it, then their professional relationship wouldn't change at all because she doesn't feel that way.

Elliot was really excited about doing the undercover work with Olivia; it was a chance for him to show some type of feelings towards her. Though they have sometimes flirted, he always believed that it will never go farther than that, until now.
