Authors Notes: Okay for those of you who are new to this story welcome. I must warn you before you begin that I am changing some things in this story and as you may note I am not always reliable when it comes to updating but hopefully that will change now.

I want to add here for all that read that there was a reason I used to write and now that reason is gone. I started this story in grade 9 and I am now in Grade 11 so of course there is more work. I have watched roughly to the end of season 11 as I live in South Africa.

Olivia Benson sat at her desk in the NYPD 16th precinct squad room staring at the flier she had found between her mail that morning. Computers had interested her since she had left SVU for a short period and worked in computer crimes. Glancing at the mini desk calendar on her desk she tried to remember the day. Was it a Tuesday or a Wednesday? Wait it was a Thursday. Thursday the 8th August. Shaking her head she focused once more on the files she was supposed to be working on in front of her.

Evens, Kylie. Wait who was she again with a sigh Olivia stacked the file on the huge pile in the corner of her desk and turned to look at the time. Five pm, she could still make it to the course if she hurried.

"El, I'm taking off. Can you tell Cragen?" Olivia said standing up and grabbing her coat.

"So you decided to go, then?" Elliot asked grinning.

"It might be fun to do something different. Hopefully I can get to half of the twenty lessons," Olivia replied.

"Don't count on that. You will be lucky if you get to three, never mind ten."

"I'm going to leave now or else I'll make none of them. You know what Cragen says about being late for courses. I'll see you tomorrow."

With one last look at her grinning partner she was gone.

Olivia made it too Hudson U in record time. She got of her car and looked around. It felt funny being on a university campus for anything but a case. Surveying her surroundings she spotted a table with a large banner above it. The banner read 'Sign Up.' Olivia walked up to it.

"Hi, can I help you?" The woman at the desk asked.

"Yeah I would like to sign up for your computer skills course," Olivia politely said.

"I think the class is actually full," the woman began to search through the clipboards, "Here. There is one place open. You want it?"

Olivia took the clipboard from the woman and scanned the list. Two names caught her attention.

K. Brown

M. Stabler

"How many adults are in this class?"

"About half, Yep, 25 adults, 24 students."

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief before jotting down the relevant information.

O. Benson White Female Adult

She handed the board back to the woman who in return handed her a stack of paper.

"Here's your map and information guide. Your course is in the resource building over there," the woman pointed to a large blue building.

Olivia walked in the direction she had been pointed in and pushed the door open. What she saw shocked her. There were rows and rows of desks. On each desk there was a pc and a laptop. Looking around she spotted an empty desk in the middle of the room. Great, she hated being in the center of things. Olivia spotted Maureen sitting in the back row talking to some friends. Ken sat in the front row reading some sort of manual. She sat down just as a tall man walked into the room with a briefcase.

"All right. Settle down. Girls can I have your attention," He waited for things to settle down before continuing, "I'm Mr. Laidley. Before we begin I want each of you to tell me your name and something about yourself. I'll start and then this young man can go. My name is K. Laidley and I love computers."

Next up was Ken, "my name is Ken Randal and I enjoy reading."

It continued name after name. Paul, Michael, John, David, Lisa, Mary, Susan, James, Robert, Mark, Karen, Patricia, Kimberley, Richard, Thomas, Donna, Linda, Cynthia, Jeffery, Joseph, Thomas, Tammy, Laura and then it was Olivia's turn.

"My name is Olivia Benson and I love to solve things."

Pam, Christopher, Jessica, Matthew, Jennifer, Brittany, Nicole, Heather, Nicholas, Ryan, Brandon, Jonathan, Eric, Kevin, Anthony, Brian, Steven, Daniel, Stephanie, Michelle, Heather, Jeremy, Emma and lastly Maureen.

"Okay now that we have all been introduced, let's get started. Can everyone please turn on their computer, not the laptop just the computer. For those of you that don't know how to do that, there is a white box next to the screen. On the box there are buttons. Press the biggest round button," Mr. Laidley said causing everyone to laugh.

The lesson finished a few minutes after eight but nobody cared it had been fun. Outside people were chatting to their friends and laughing. Olivia surveyed the people around her. Olivia wasn't used to making friends out of work in fact she hardly made friends in work considering how few new detectives ever arrived. After a few minutes of being outside Olivia headed to her car. It had been a long day and work started early the next morning. It was her turn to catch that night and it wasn't often that the detectives from the 1-6 went a night without a crime being reported. Before she reached her car however she was stopped by Maureen and Ken.

"Olivia," they shouted out at the same time catching up to her.

"What are you doing here?" Maureen asked.

"We closed a case and your father convinced me to try the course," Olivia replied.

"Typical of dad. So how are you?"

"I'm good and you?"

"Great. Wait do you two know each other?" Maureen asked suddenly realising that Ken was there.

"Yeah, Olivia helped me out a couple of times. Detective Tutuola's is my father," Ken answered Maureen with a grin.

"Wow. I never knew he had a son."

The words caused an awkward silence and the three of them stared at each other for a few minutes. Eventually Ken spoke, "Yeah well it doesn't feel like I'm his son so that's okay."

"Well it was nice to see you both but I'm tired and I want to get a few hours sleep before I get called in. Please do me a favour and don't tell anyone I am a cop. People tend to close up around me when they hear that," Olivia finished off.

"Sure."

"Whatever."
