Tough Case
Chapter 1 -Blowing Up-
Elliot Stabler stood in front of Don Cragen's desk as he was getting chewed a new one for putting his hands on the suspect again. Elliot was very passionate about his job, but he did tend to get a little too aggressive and out of control when he got really pissed off. He had already been through Anger Management twice and it obviously didn't do anything for him. So this time he had struck a nerve with Cragen and now he stood there awaiting his fate and future as a sex crimes detective with the NYPD. Olivia Benson, his partner, stood outside with an ear pressed to the door to listen in.
"Damnit Stabler, you're done it now!" Cragen yelled. Elliot remained silent as he got his ass chewed out. "You just jeopardized this whole case! What the hell were you doing? What were you thinking?"
"You wanted the abstard and I got him." Elliot said.
"You were asked to bring him in, not beat the shit out of him." Cragen said rubbing his temples. "You're being reassigned."
"What?" Elliot said looking at his captain confused.
"You're going to Clark County Las Vegas, Nevada. Temporary position. You need time away from here before you fuck up something else." Cragen said puling out Elliot's files and placing the folder on his desk.
"This is bullshit!" Elliot said getting mad.
"Look. I know you meant well but this is not an option." Cragen said trying to calm down and be understanding, playing the daddy Cragen role. "You're going to be with LVPD until things blow over. I know you don't wanna hear this but this might do you some good. Your personal life is colliding with your work. Go to Vegas, work with them and relax. Your situation isn't the best but you should get away for a while. Consider this a favor."
"Right. Are we done?" Elliot said with attitude.
"Here." Cragen said handing him a folder. "Your plane tickets and hotel information."
Elliot took the tickets and started out the door. His partner gave him a look that said she had heard everything.
"Vegas, seriously?" Olivia asked giving her partner a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.
"I fucked up big time." Elliot said.
"Yeah you did. Behave yourself in Vegas." Olivia said.
"Yeah you've got my word." Elliot said.
"Take care." She said kissing his cheek.
"You do the same." He said kissing her back.
