..Life is to Short..

10:30 am Cragens office.

"I want a new partner"

" I know you and Elliot fought, you think you can't figure it out" Cragen sad with a worried face.

Olivia looked at him with tears in her eyes "He sad we could not be partners if we can't put our job in first place"

Cragen looked at her and handed her a file "I think you will regret doing that, so I'll let u go on an undercover assignment, I got a request from the Las Vegas department if I could loan one of my female officers to help getting a serial rapist/murderer. They need a new face because the suspect is a former CSI officer. If you take this it will give you and Stabler time apart and u can see if you still want a new partner when you come back" Cragen looked at her to see what she thought of this. "Just think about it"

Olivia looked confused and one more tear ran down her face, she wiped it a way in hurry. "I'll do it, but don't tell Elliot until I am gone"

"You have to go tomorrow to Las Vegas to get briefed on the case" Cragen looked at her and his face looked worried "I hope this will help you and Elliot, We will all miss you" He sad and walked over to her and hugged her. Olivia wiped another tear from her eyes. "I'll miss you all to but I have to do this "She sad and turn around and walked out of his office. Olivia looked over the squad room, Munch and Fin where at there desks and Elliot was no where to be seen, so she walked over to her desk a started to read the case file.

6:40 pm Olivia's Apartment.

She walked over to the answering machine and saw there where 4 missed calls, one from Casey and other 3 from Elliot telling her that he needed to talk to her. She hadn't seen him al day, he had been in court helping Casey with a case. Olivia walked into the bedroom, started to undress, she was going to take a long hot bath and try to relax and forget about Elliot for couple of minutes. When the bath was full she put in some bath oil with strawberry scent. She had just been in the bath for 5 minutes or so when the doorbell rang.

"Who is it" Olivia yelled and reached for a towel"

"It's me. I have to talk to you"

Olivia wrapped the towel around her and walked to the door and opened it.

"What do you want "Olivia sad as she walked into the bedroom. Elliot closed the door and followed her.

"As you see I am busy" Olivia sad trying to wrap the towel closer around her. Elliot looked at her with a strange look in his eyes; she had never seen that look before. He just stared at her for 2 or 3 minutes and the he sad "What do you mean you where busy, you where taken a bath you can keep on doing that when we have stopped talking"

Olivia face started turning red with anger "Who sad I wanted to talk to you, the last time we talked you sad we couldn't be partners" She turned away so he couldn't see the tears that ran down her face.

"I sad we couldn't be partners if we chose each other over the job as we did and a little boy died because I chose you over him" Elliot looked hurt.

"So it would have been alright if you had chosen him and I would have died" Tears where now flowing down Olivia's face so she walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. "Elliot please leave" Olivia sad through the door. Elliot heard that she was crying, but the anger that he felt because she thought he would rather see her die then the little boy was overwhelming. Elliot walked to the door "What the hells wrong with you. You think I would rather have you dead then the little boy" He yelled knocking at the door. "Olivia open the door right now or "He heard that she was still crying.

"NO go away, I don't want to see or talk to you" She sad and he heard that she was walking away from the door.

"Open the door Olivia or Ill break it" Olivia heard that he was getting very angry but she was hurt and wasn't going to give in to what he wanted when it was he who hurt her.

"You wouldn't dare" she shouted at him. Olivia had just finished the last word when the door broke open and he stood in the doorway.
