Olivia wasn't thrilled about going undercover,especially given the nature of the crimes that were related to the neighborhood where the perfection ruled. Being that both her and Elliot were posing as a newlywed couple, there was bound to be some trouble.
On the other hand, they weren't alone. Fin and Amanda were also posing as a married couple as well, Cragen thought it be wiser to send four detectives instead of just two. As Elliot picked her up, Olivia got into the car with a sigh.
He was wearing a black short sleeved shirt and a pair of khaki cargo shorts, while she was wearing a light peach summer dress complete with heels. Clearly, Olivia looked like all the other women that lived in that community. Although the trip was long the two stopped halfway to get out and stretch their legs, of course Olivia was not expecting Elliot to get down one knee.
" Oh this is a first."
Elliot sighed," C'mon Liv, I'm trying to be romantic," as he first slipped the engagement ring down her finger, before proceeding to do the same with the wedding ring. As their eyes met, Olivia pratically drowned in his blue orbs.
Her heart fluttered, as she slide a silver wedding band down his finger. Without taking their eyes off each other, he then stood up and took her hand. For a moment, it had seemed as if they wanted to kiss but somehow it didn't turn out that way.
Instead they walked back to the car; hand in hand. Olivia heart was still pounding inside of her chest, but she knew it was really love that she saw in his eyes. As Elliot held out his hand, she slowly took it," You getting all romantic now El?"
" You're my wife now."
" Undercover wife, so what are our names."
Elliot groaned," Mike and Rachel Keller, I'm a businessman you work from home. You do have a tendency to overspend when your with your best friend; Katie. Other wise we're newlyweds in love with each other that are also trying to get pregnant."
He knew just how much Olivia longed to be a mother herself," We'll only mention if the topic comes up, but only once. It might steer them away, which wouldn't be a good thing."
Once they arrived, the two noticed just how perfect everyone's home was; right down to the green lawn and beautiful manicured gardens. Elliot knew that this was just a smokescreen for what was really going on behind the scenes.
Upon pulling into the driveway of their undercover home, Olivia's eyes widened. The home was incrediable and big, with lushious gardens surrounding in," Come on babe let's go inside our home," she heard Elliot say.
After they reached the top step, he then unlocked the door. It took Olivia by surprised when he scooped her up; before carrying her over the threshold. Being that they were undercover, she let it slide besides they had to act like newlyweds.
Once the front door was closed, Elliot put Olivia down. His eyes were still filled with real romance, which she instantly seemed to almost drown in them. Yet she managed to pull back," Let's start uppacking, we got work to do."
" We can unpack tomorrow," he said, still not taking his eyes off of her," Besides you don't need to that much decorating since it's already been predecorated. Cover story, we hired someone to decorate before we moved in."
" It's not exactly my tastes, but I'm sure I can change it."
Elliot nodded," So about we make dinner and just settle in. I'm sure some of the ladies might come around."
" Sounds like a plan," Olivia answered as she proceeded to head upstairs. Her face completely lit up upon seeing just how big the master bedroom was ; complete with two walk in closets and a huge bathroom. Of course, her eyes instantly noticed the giant wirlpool tub. In addtion, to that the shower had two seats built in and a double sink outside.
It looked like something out of one of those designer homes. Yet, it made being undercover better than expected. Downstairs, Elliot was amazing on how large the kitchen was; especially with a huge marble island in the middle.
He knew that people who owned this house before, had the money to do this. Upstairs, he was also blown away," Didn't expect us to be living in a home like this."
" I like it," she answered with smile, while in the middle of putting away her clothes in the closet," Still doesn't explain what happen to her and why her husband was left in the middle of the city dead; with signs that he had been raped repeately. This connects to several other cases connecting tracing back to this neighborhood. Each time the neighbors denied knowing each victim."
" They know what happened, " as he proceeded to fold a shirt before noticing the look on Olivia's face," What?"
"Is that how you fold a shirt El?"
He sighed," You getting on my case for this?"
" It's going to get wrinkled," as she snatched it out of his hand, while Elliot headed back downstairs. Olivia sighed deeply, knowing that he was going to be a big pain to live with. A few hours later, as the two climbed into bed, Elliot exhaled softly," Fin and I decided to stay home tomorrow, pretend to work around the house. The next day we're supposed to meet up with the local detectives."
She knew this case was going to be very frustrating," It's strange that ever single widow did not come forward to claim their husband's bodies. Where the wife disappeared in this house, cops found the place to be completely empty."
" Two widows did come forward Liv, they never saw us. Came in and left before we came back from talking to a potential suspect."
" It is strange, with these people it's going to take a lot of effort El."
