Everyone was on edge. Nobody had slept more than 5 hours the past 2 days. They tracked down a child molester who molested multiple children at school. After they caught the guy Munch and Fin brought him into the interrogation room.
Olivia and Elliot were sitting at their desk absent mindedly doing paperwork waiting to see how the interrogation would turn out. Olivia looked over at her partner, you could tell he was tired, he had bags under his eyes and he had drank a whole pot of Munch's coffee by himself.
Lately Elliot had been grouchier than usual and snapped at anyone who even looked at him, this including Liv. The case was making his temper escalate even more due to the lack of sleep.
Elliot looked up at Olivia and growled, "What are you looking at Benson?" Olivia was shocked that she had been caught looking at him and attempted a small smile.
"Maybe you should head up to the cribs for a bit you seemed pretty tired even before we caught this case," she told him calmly. He just growled a muffled response and went back to typing on his computer.
"What was that she asked," starting to get a little pissed off. "I said I can fucking take care of myself," he said this time in gruff and much louder voice.
Before Olivia could fire back a retort her phone started ringing.
"Benson," she barked at poor person on the end of the phone. "What's wrong? Yeah ok…. Where are you? I will be there in 10 minutes tops." She hung up the phone grabbed her coat and ran out of the squad room leaving her partner confused and even more pissed off then before.
Olivia got out of her car at the address the person on the phone told her. She was in a secluded residential area 10 miles away from the heart of the city thankfully the precinct wasn't too far away.
"Olivia," a voice said. Olivia turned and faced the teenage girl that had make up running down her face and looked scared to death. Olivia walked to the girl and wrapped her arms around her in a big hug. "I'm sorry I didn't know who to call and I –" Olivia stopped her before she could babble to much.
"Maureen its fine. What happened honey?" she asked. Leading them both to a bench that wasn't too far away.
Maureen sniffled, "I was at my boyfriend Trent's house and his parents weren't home. We went into his bedroom and he started kissing me." By this point tears began to fall once again. "The next thing I knew I was lying on the bed and he –"a sob escaped her throat.
Olivia instantly changing to cop mode asked, "Did he hurt you Mo?"
Maureen shook her head no. "I- I told him to stop. At first he didn't but I pushed him off and he started calling me a tease…. and… and then he broke up with me and told me to leave." She was crying again and Olivia pulled her close and held her.
Eventually Maureen had calmed down enough to speak again, "I just didn't know who to call, Mom probably wouldn't have answered her phone and Dad would have killed Trent. Can you please not tell Dad about this?" she asked practically begging Olivia.
"I don't know Mo he's going to wonder where I was and –" she was cut off my Maureen's pleading "Please he can't find out about this. Please Olivia don't tell him," she had tears once again in her eyes and it broke Olivia's heart.
Olivia hugged Maureen once again and said, "Ok I promise I won't tell your dad. Are you feeling better? Do you want to come back to the precinct with me you can sleep in the cribs till your dad leaves?"
Maureen smiled and said, "Thanks Livvie. Yeah let's go." When they got back to the car before Olivia could go over to her door Maureen pulled her into a hug once again. "I just wanted to say thanks again for everything you have done for me. I love you Livvie."
When Olivia over to her door she had tears of her own in her eyes. The car ride back to the precinct was filled with comfortable silence. As they walked back into the squad room Olivia noticed that mostly everyone had gone home for the night. The only desk light still on was Elliot's.
Olivia walked up with Maureen close at her heels and hung up her coat on the coat rack and went to sit at her desk. Elliot's head instantly popped up when he heard her walk into the squad room. "Where the hell have you been!" he spat. "And what the hell is my daughter doing here!"
Olivia turned to Maureen and said in a sweet voice "Hey Mo why don't you go up to the cribs and try to get a little sleep you have school tomorrow?"
"Alright. Thanks again Liv," she gave her a hug and walked upstairs.
When Olivia looked back over at Elliot his face was bright red and the veins in his neck were sticking out. "What the fuck was that!" he yelled. Olivia was taken back at his choice of words.
"Are you kidding me! She just thanked me! I went and helped her doing what one of her fucking parents should be doing!"she screamed back with just as much intensity as he used.
Elliot was standing up now directly in front of Olivia, "Oh while you were gone getting your nails painted with my daughter we did actual work and took a child molester off the streets. Oh and with absolutely no help from you I might add!"
By this time Olivia was beyond pissed she also stood and was now face to face with Elliot. "First off I put more fucking work into this case then most of this unit combined! Second I wasn't getting my nails painted I had to go pick up your daughter because she…." Olivia took a deep breath and as calmly as she could said "You know what forget it. Take your daughter home I'm leaving."
As she said this Olivia pushed her way past Elliot grabbed her coat and keys and stormed out of the precinct. Elliot was still pissed and slammed the file he had been holding down on his desk and began to turn off his computer.
Neither one of them noticed the teenage girl sitting at the bottom of the stairs having heard they whole screaming match and had tears in her eyes for causing this big of a fight between her father and Livvie. She ran back up stairs and pretended that she didn't hear anything when her dad was finished turning off his computer.
Elliot walked up the stairs to the cribs and saw his oldest daughter sitting on the bunk that had unofficially become Liv's. He still was pissed off at Liv for just leaving during the middle of a case.
"Hey Mo are you ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah let's go home," she said quietly getting up off the bunk she knew was Liv's and was already missing the slight comfort it brought to her just knowing it was hers.
She followed her dad back down stairs and to his car where they would go home and Maureen would once again pretend she didn't hear fighting between her mom and dad. She had to fix the mess she made between her dad and Liv.
Sorry Elliot was such a jerk in this chapter. Well how was it? Loved it….? Hated it…..? Please Review! Do I continue?
