It had been six weeks, 6 hours and sixteen minutes since Olivia let herself sleep with Elliot. It had been three weeks, three days, twelve hours and six minutes since Elliot had told her that he was going back to Kathy. It had been four hours, thirty five minutes and fifteen seconds since Melinda Warner had told her something that changed everything.

She sighed as she sat down at her desk. She knew that she was going to have to make decisions and make them soon. She looked up when she heard Elliot's voice and her heart broke even more when she saw him walking towards her with Kathy by his side. She quickly stood up and walked out of the squad room. She ignored Elliot's and Kathy's voice calling for her as she fought the tears that suddenly sprang to her eyes.

She felt eyes on her but she didn't even bother to look and see who all was looking at her. She heard footsteps behind her following and she tensed but relaxed when she recognized who they belonged to. She kept walking and didn't stop until she was sure she was away from prying eyes. She took in a deep breath and let it out before turning towards the person who had followed her. "Hi."

Don looked at Olivia in concern. "Are you alright Olivia?"

Olivia sighed and looked at the man who was like a father to her with tears in her eyes and shook her head. "I don't know what to do Cap."

Don frowned and said "What do you mean Olivia?"

Olivia sighed and then said "I want to switch partners Don. I don't care if you pair me with Munch or with Fin but I need a new partner."

Don's mouth dropped open in shock and he stared at Olivia for a minute before sighing. "Why don't you want to be partners with Elliot anymore?"

Olivia looked down at the floor and whispered "It's to hard to be partners with him Cap. I just can't keep pretending it doesn't kill me to be near him every day and have to talk to him. If you won't give me a new partner then i'll put in a transfer requests. I can't keep pretending that everything is okay when it isn't."

Don ran his hand down his face and sighed. He looked at Olivia and saw the pain in her eyes. As he looked at her he also noticed that she had lost weight, that she was pale and he could also see that she hasn't been sleeping. He sighed again and then nodded. "Okay Live I'll partner you with Fin. I know that he will keep an eye on you. Just remember that if you ever need to talk that my door is open to you no matter if it is day or night."

Olivia nodded and gave Don a sad smile. "Would it be too much to ask that you also have Munch trade desks with me. I'm sorry Cap but I don't want to be near Elliot anymore."

Don shook his head. "Not at all. Why don't you go on a walk or go visit Melinda or even Casey or Alex? I'll move your stuff from your desk over to your new one."

Olivia smiled and gave Don a quick hug. "Thanks Cap. If you need me you can reach me on my cell. Oh by the way I requested a new number today. I would appreciate it if you only gave it to Fin and yourself for right now."

Don nodded and took the piece of paper that Olivia was holding out to him and then watched as she walked away. He knew that she was hiding something but he also knew that he wouldn't know what it was until she was ready to tell him. He sighed and turned around and headed back into the squad room. When he entered and saw Kathy sitting on Olivia's desk like she owned it he frowned and then walked forward coming to a stop in between the four desks. He looked at Kathy and shook his head and then cleared his throat hoping to keep the anger he was feeling out of his voice. "Excuse me Kathy but you'll need to move. If you need some where to sit there are a million other places other than my best detective's desk especially when you didn't ask if you could use her desk."

Elliot watched as Kathy's eyes widened and then he stared at Cragen in shock. He couldn't remember a time when Don had ever been that rude to any woman before let alone Kathy. Hell the only time he heard that tone of voice was when Don had been talking about perps. "Cap?"

Don glared at Elliot and then looked at Munch. "Munch from now on you'll be partnered with Stabler. So if you would clean out your desk and switch with Olivia I'd appreciate it. I'll be cleaning out Olivia's desk and moving her things to your old desk."

Elliot gaped at Don and then stood up and demanded "Why am I getting Munch as a partner? Liv is my partner and I want it kept that way."

Don turned his head toward Elliot and glared. "Too fucking bad Stabler. It doesn't matter right now what you want. From now on you will be partnered with Munch."

Elliot shook his head. "Where is Liv? She isn't going to like this one bit."

Don laughed and said "It is none of your business where Olivia is. I will deal with her when the time comes. She'll be back here tomorrow unless I need her before then. I think you need to say goodbye to your wife so you can get back to work. I need to get Olivia's things put in her new desk and then I need to make a call to someone."

Elliot opened his mouth but shut it as he thought better of what he was going to say. He looked at his wife and gave her an apolgetic smile. "I'll see you at home Kath."

Kathy smiled and nodded and walked over and kissed Elliot. "I love you honey and I'll see you tonight."

Elliot sighed and nodded but didn't say anything. He watched as Don had a quiet conversation with both Fin and Munch and then watched as Don started moving Olivia's things from her desk to her new one. He pulled out his cell phone and called her and ended up frowning when he got a recordered message saying that either the phone was disconnected or the number had been changed. He sighed and sat back down as he got back to work. He couldn't help but wonder why Olivia wasn't at work and he started to worry. He made a decision then and there to go by her apartment once he was off work. Little did he know that when he got there that she would no longer be living where she had been.
