New York, One Police Plazza

Vanessa groaned. She didn't think she would see one of them for a long, long time.

But she was wrong. Now they were there, standing in front of her, together with the rest of the squad. She knew he was the captain. But what she didn't knew was that the other one was a detective and so, part of the squad. He must have just come here, maybe a few months before she was now here.

In fact, she didn't see them for a long time. She thought about it. 2009. Vanessa didn't see them for eight years by now. But she didn't want to see them ever again.

But now she had to. She requested her own transfer. She'd never done it had she known they were actually here.

"So, everyone, this is Sergeant Vanessa Holten. Welcome her." He seemed fine to welcome a Sergeant in his squad, even if it was her. He looked at her with a welcoming and warm expression.

Everyone except Alexandra Eames, Robert Goren and her walked out of the room.

"So why did your Captain order your transfer?" Goren asked with a amused expression on his face. He didn't see her since they worked a case together, in which Alex has been involved, too.

Vanessa slaps him on the shoulder, amused. "Bobby, my Captain didn't order my transfer, I requested it." Alex and Goren exchangend questioning glances. "Why?" The blonde woman really seemed surprised, she always had the feeling Vanessa felt comfortable in her unit.

"I really need a break. We're a unit to investigate sexual crimes. It's not easy and to be honest, it really get's on my nerves." Goren coughed. "It's not gonna be easy here, too, you know." Vanessa glanced at the strong man. "I know. I do not underestimate your work and I love my job. But I just needed a break."

Both detectives nodded. Alex seemed curious, but still, she accepted Vanessa being here, they became good friends after solving a case together. "Speaking about SVU, how are the others?" She asked friendly. Vanessa laughed. "El is busy with his family and work as always. As for Liv, she's quite happy, and I'm happy for her not being in an undercover mission currently. The others are well, too."

Goren laughed. He got to know Munch and Fin after that case, and he appreciated both of them. But Alex didn't seem to be satisfied with that answer. Something was wrong.

"And how did you trick Ross into accepting your wish to transfer?" Goren asked curiously. "I didn't. My captain did" Vanessa smiled happily at the thought of Cragen. He hadn't been to happy with her after that one incident in the court recently.

"Let us go get someting to eat, I'm hungry. I'll invite you." Alex and Bobby smiled, accepting the offer.

The police officers left One Police Plazza to get something to eat.
