Hello all. I'm hoping that someone will take interest in this story haha. I've written for fanfiction before, but it was a few years ago and I deleted all my stories off the site and changed my profile and pen name. I'm starting off fresh.
Anyway, I know there will be the question about E/O relationship… I'm not really sure where they are headed just yet. We'll see =) I hope you enjoy, and please give it a chance.
Background Info: This is set in season 1. Elliot and Kathy divorced a year ago, and she has full custody of the kids. He gets visits every other weekend. Olivia and Elliot are not together. Also, Jeffries and Munch are partners. Cassidy is alone.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the storyline and the characters I make up in my mind. Any names and descriptions that match real life are purely accidental and in no way reflect that individual.

SVU Squad Room
Cragen watched his 4 best Detectives from the window in his office. They had just put a serial rapist to justice, and were relaxing a bit before their next case.
He took the rare down time to address them.
"Shut up, John." Elliot Stabler said before as Cragen walked out of his office.
John only sighed as the Captain approached; ready to have his mind tortured with another case.
"Thank you, Elliot." Cragen said, smiling slightly.
"I have an announcement for all of you. As of Monday, you will have a new co worker." He said, waiting for a reaction.
"I didn't even know there was a position to fill." Olivia stated, running a hand through her short, thick hair.
"Well Cassidy can't keep working alone, can he?" Cragen responded.
"I get a new partner? Cool. Who is he?" Cassidy asked
"She. Her name is Jessica Cahill. Fresh from a uniform. I assume she will get a warm welcome?" Cragen asked raising an eyebrow. It's not that they were rude to newcomers, they were just a very tight knit group. Cassidy started about a year ago and he still wasn't "in" with the group.
The group of detectives looked at each other before nodding simultaneously at their captain.
"Good." Cragen said before walking back to his office.
"Great, just what I need, a woman partner." Cassidy said sitting down at his desk.
"Excuse me?" Olivia said. She didn't like Cassidy. Ever since that one night, he had been hanging on to her like a loose tooth about to fall out.
"I didn't mean it like that, Liv." Cassidy began, trying to pull himself out of the hole he had just dug.
"Then how did you mean it?" Jeffries asked, hands on her hips.
"I just meant that woman tend to get too emotionally involved in the kinds of cases we handle, especially when they are new to it all." Cassidy replied.
Olivia gave him one of her terrifying glares and returned to her desk, Jeffries right behind her but not before muttering a quick "fuck you."
"Do you want them to hate you?" Came Munch's voice. He was sitting in his chair with his feet up on his desk playing with a pencil.
"You know what I meant."
"Can't say I do. I'd rather live to see my 60s." Munch replied before getting up to make some coffee.
"Stop; I'll make it." Elliot said giving Munch a look.
"When will you all stop belittling my coffee? I think I make fabulous coffee." Munch said.
The conversation was quickly halted when Cragen came back out of his office to tell them they caught another case and to get to the scene.
With a group of sighs, the Detectives of the one six left the precinct, dreading what they would find.
Monday 7:15am
SVU Squad Room
"But what is his MO, El?" Olivia asked her partner with a sigh as they walked into the squad room together.
"It looks like there is no MO, just a hit-and-run." Elliot responded.
"Ahh the infamous team arrives." Came the voice of John Munch breaking the conversation.
"Morning John." Olivia mumbled tiredly.
"And good morning to you Sunshine, our new co-worker has arrived." Munch said pointing to Cragen's office where the outline of a woman could be seen through the window.
As the three detectives stared trying to see the new face, Brian Cassidy walked into the precinct immediately greeting Olivia.
"Hey, how was your weekend?" he asked her.
"I spent half of it with you working on a rape case, how do you think it was?" she quickly answered.
Elliot muffled his chuckle and turned on his computer while John just outright laughed.
Cassidy didn't get the chance to say anything else because Cragen's door opened and he and a woman began to make their way towards the four.
"Where's Jeffries?" Cragen asked.
"Not here yet. Probably running late, there was a bad accident." John answered.
"Alright well I guess she'll have to get caught up later, everyone this is Jessica Cahill our newest Detective."
Cragen introduced John, Olivia, and Elliot to the girl.
"And this is your partner, Brian Cassidy." Cragen introduced.
They quickly shook hands, and nodded at one another.
"If you need anything, I'll be in my office. Cassidy will catch you up on what you need to know."
"Thank you Captain." Jessica answered.
Cassidy looked at his new partner. He thought she couldn't be more than 18. At least she looked like it.
Jessica was quite the sight. She was tall, at least 5'10, with long golden brown wavy, almost curly, thick hair. Her eyes were just the right mix of green and brown to be a beautiful Hazel and her long legs only accentuated her thin, curvy torso. No doubt was she solid as a rock underneath her black dress pants and fitted dark blue button down shirt. She was absolutely gorgeous.
But again, she looked like a baby… Which only turned him on more.
"Nice to meet you Brian." Jessica said very professionally.
"Uhh, it's Cassidy, how old are you?" Cassidy asked.
"23." She answered, knowing that this was coming. She was extremely young to already be a Detective, but she was determined to prove that she could be a damn good one.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you rise up in the ranks so fast?" Elliot asked from his desk intrigued.
"I was emancipated and got my GED at 15, entered the Academy at 16, and was in uniform until about 4 weeks ago." Jessica stated proudly, "I took online classes while I worked and caught a lucky break on a case which landed me this promotion. I've been in training ever since."
"You got your GED at 15? I barely got mine at 18." Munch replied.
"You have your GED?" Olivia commented, laughing at her joke towards Munch. It wasn't very funny, but she had been up since about 5am, so to her, it was hilarious.
"Olivia, I'm hurt. What happened to us making snide comments about everyone else, together?" Munch said mocking shock.
"Sorry John, momentary lapse of confusion, I'm back now." She said smiling at him.
Cassidy listened to the two without much interest. A few days ago he would be jealous of the interaction between his co workers, but today, he was too busy looking at his new partner to really care.
"So…" Jessica said.
"So?"
"Aren't you going to brief me on the case?" she asked.
"Oh, yeah." Cassidy said, blushing.
Jessica didn't like the way he was looking at her. Already she could tell this wasn't going to be the best partnership.
"The vic is Sharon McDuffy. 35, single, white. She was walking home when an unidentified male attacked her from behind and dragged her into an alley where he proceeded to rape her. No fluids found, so he used a condom, and no skin particles or hair left on our vic, but he did a number on her." Cassidy said showing her pictures of a pretty beaten up Sharon.
Jessica grimaced and looked over the rest of the details in the file.
"Well he obviously isn't a first timer" she stated, more to herself than anyone else.
Cassidy chuckled at her. Obviously he wasn't taking her serious due to her age, but answered her anyway.
"Actually I'd say he is. Not many serial rapists have an unclear MO and choose their vics all that randomly." Cassidy said with a smug look on his face, almost as if he were trying to show off.
"Well according to the file, no fingerprints were left meaning that he wore gloves. Not many first timers know to wear gloves or condoms, so I'd say with certainty that this isn't a first timer." Jessica fired back. She wasn't about to let him belittle her on her first day of work.
Elliot and Olivia shared an amused look.
"Please tell me you are Cassidy's new partner." Came Jeffries from behind them all.
"Jessica Cahill, nice to meet you…?" Jessica said sticking out her hand for Jeffries to shake.
"Monique Jeffries, but everyone calls me Jeffries." She said returning the handshake.
"So Jess…" Munch started, ignoring the caseload of work ahead of them, "tell us about yourself."
Alrighty that was chapter 1. Tell me if I should keep going! The plot is mainly about Jessica and Cassidy right now (no, no budding romance) but it will quickly become a lot more Jessica, Olivia, and Elliot.
I'm still not sure if Olivia and Elliot will get together, so let me know what you want to do.
