So, for the purpose of this story, Alex is the Bureau Chief of SVU. In case you don't remember, Alex revealed to Olivia that her name in WitSec was Emily. Enjoy!

I do not own SVU. Only original character is the suspect.

The sound of heels clicking ricocheted off the walls of the precinct as Alexandra Cabot strode into the 1-6 bullpen with determination in her eyes. She scanned the room for her target and found her standing in the office looking through the window into an interrogation room.

Stepping over the threshold of the office her target, one Olivia Benson, turned to smile at her. Alex felt her heart constrict at the sight. Her eyes looked behind the Sargent and at the young woman behind the window. She was small, wearing a black tee shirt and dark-wash jeans. Her back was facing the window. Her light brown hair was cut short, pixie cut if she wasn't mistaken.

"When Barba said you were taking this case I thought I had misheard him." Olivia said, breaking Alex from her thoughts. "How have you been, Alex?" The sound of her name was akin to an endearment and the grip on her heart tightened.

"Been good." Alex told her. "It's not easy being bureau chief."

"We've missed you around here, councilor." It was then that Alex realized that they weren't alone. Amanda Rollins was standing to the right of Olivia. Alex cleared her throat, back to business.

"Likewise. What have we got?" How Olivia had missed hearing the other blonde say that. She turned her attention back to the glass behind her.

"This is 23 year old Sarah Lane. She is the bartender at the restaurant where our vic was assaulted." Rollins said.

"She was belligerent at the scene, even went so far as to toss a drink at Amaro." Liv finished. "We brought her in, but she won't talk."

"She's hiding something." Rollins told her.

"Goody, I see nothing around here has changed." Alex said with a smirk as she and Olivia made their way into the interrogation room, Rollins staying to observe outside.

"Hello, Ms. Lane, my name is EADA Alexandra Cabot and-"

"Em…Emily?"

Would love some feedback
