Law and Order: Special Victims Unit

Author's note: I got over my writers block and now i'm whipping out the ideas like crazy. If they are good or not is up to you to determine. I didn't reread this because it's too late for me to focus that hard so...sorry for any mistakes. I hope it all makes sense.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit

Through the Glass to the Past

Chapter 1

When Things Were Brighter

Olivia watched a woman enter the squad room. She looked nervous, but her clothing showed nothing but confidence. She was dressed in white slacks and a black shirt that reminded Olivia of something she would wear. The woman was elegant and sophisticated, you could tell she spent a lot of time shopping.

Olivia stood up thinking she was a rape victim. She walked over to the woman taking in her facial expressions. She didn't look she was hurt like that but some covered it better than others. Her face was still made up to perfection though, which was highly unusual for a rape victim coming in to report a rape.

"Can I help you?" Olivia asked

The woman flashed a smile, and stated, "Hello, I'm supposed to start work here today."

Olivia smiled with a confused look on her face. "Oh…really you're Lake's replacment?" Olivia asked, "Cragen didn't say anything about it. We've been anticipating a new detective for weeks."

"Yeah, well I put in my transfer yesterday and they jumped on it, they informed your boss last night."

"Well then, I'm Olivia." She introduced herself.

"Kacy Gallo," The woman said with a smile.

"Well the captains office is over this way," Olivia said leading her to it.

Olivia walked out of the office about ten minutes later. She walked over to her desk and looked at Elliot. He was looking up at her with a smile.

"Who was that?" He asked curiously.

"Oh…that is our new colleague. Her name is Kacy Gallo. She transferred in from New Jersey." Olivia stated, "She seems really nice."

"Oh yeah? Did she come from Jersey's sex crimes?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah and her dad is the commissioner." Olivia stated.

"Wow, lucky." Elliot stated.

"I know….let's just hope they don't resituate partners." Olivia stated.

"The day I'm not partners with you is the day I quit."

"You can't afford to quit." Olivia stated walking some files she was done with over the filing room.

--

Kacy Gallo was having a pretty productive first day. She had two collars already, the first cases she handled were, ironically, the easiest you can get. The first was one with a stupid rapist that left his calling card when he was in the system. The second was a open and shut abuse case. They had all the evidence they needed and all there was left was paperwork.

She was at her desk and Olivia was hunched over her. They did things different in Jersey than they did in New York, so Olivia was helping her fill out the forms. It was getting late but at the rate that they were going they needed to stay for a few minutes.

Olivia noticed someone walk up near the island of desks but was too deep into her instructions to look up.

"You are a hard woman to locate Kacy." Said a voice.

Kacy and Olivia looked up in unison. Shock fluttered over Olivia's face when she saw the face was familiar.

"Shawn?" Olivia asked.

"Olivia…" he responded with a big smile pulling her into a hug.

"What the hell… you two know each other or something?" Kacy asked confused as to why they were hugging.

"Yeah, I dated Liv in high school."

"Oh…she's that Olivia…" Kacy said, "What a small world."

"Yeah," Shawn said, "How have you been?"

"Pretty good, and you?"

Shawn smiled, "Good."

"Hun, why you here?" Kacy asked Shawn.

Olivia was alarmed because she thought they were going out and he had just hugged her, but she guessed that was just Shawn's personality, until he responded to Kacy.

"You need to sign the divorce papers so we can get this ball a rolling." Shawn stated.

Kacy tried to mask a smile but couldn't, she snatched the papers from him. "Finally."

"You guys are married…getting a divorce yet still call each other Hun?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah, we got drunk and woke up in Vegas. We love each other but just as friends, nothing more." Kacy explained.

Shawn smiled his goofy smile, knowing Olivia only knew half of it, and that he couldn't tell her the rest until he got permission from Kacy.

"Shawn is very good at getting girls hammered. That's how I feel for him." Olivia joked.

Olivia heard Elliot walk into the squad room and set something down on his desk. She turned to him and stated, "Elliot come over here I want you to meet someone."

Elliot walked over and shook hands with Shawn as Olivia said, "Elliot this is Shawn. I dated him in high school…and he's Kacy's soon to-be ex-husband."

"Wow…I bet she is thrilled with the fact that she works with Liv." Elliot joked.

Shawn noticed the fact that Elliot called her Liv. Which in high school was a nickname that only Shawn was allowed to call her. He had asked her once why she wouldn't let any of her friends call her that and she had responded with, "I only let boys that love me call me that."

So did that mean that her and her co-worker were romantically involved? He was determined to know because he wanted her back.
