Chapter One
She raised the coffee cup to her mouth and took a small sip before looking over at him. He quickly diverted his eyes. She placed the mug on the table. He looked at her again. She slowly rolled her lips together as she read the document in front of her. Lifting her eyes to his face he quickly looked at his computer screen.
How long were they going to act like they weren't watching each other?
"Benson! Stabler!" Captain Donald Cragen called from the door to his office.
"What is it Cap?" Olivia asked as she spun her chair round to face him.
"Your needed down in Central Park." Cragen said.
"What is it?" Elliot said getting from his seat and pulling his coat from the back of his chair.
"Possible rape-homicide. Warner is down there already." He said and Olivia and Elliot headed off out the door.

"What have we got?" Elliot asked as he and Olivia approached the murder scene.
"Female, early thirties multiple stab wounds post-mortem COD strangulation." Melinda Warner said seeing the detectives approaching
"El..." Olivia said gripping his arm to support her buckling knees.
"I'll know more once I get her on my table." Warner continued.
"Liv?" He asked putting his arm around her waist.
"I know her." Olivia whispered turning her head away. "I know her well."
"Ok come on." Elliot said helping to support her as he moved her away from the crime scene.
"Who is she Liv?" He asked once she seemed to get over the initial shock.
"D.A Coral Dwight, she was my best friend in the Academy." Olivia sighed. "She's got kids El! And a husband." Olivia could barely keep herself from crying. She turned to the car and slammed her fists down on the bonnet.
"Liv..." Elliot said putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Don't Elliot, she's one of the only people from the Academy that I kept in touch with... we were ... Oh my God... we were supposed to be meeting for drinks tonight." Olivia sighed as she tried to hide the emotion in her voice.
"Ok come on let's get you back to the precinct." Elliot said.
"No, I want to be the one to tell Jack her husband, I know him so it might be easier coming from me." Olivia said.
"Ok Liv, I thought you said she was a D.A.?" Elliot asked as he placed the keys into the ignition.
"I did." Olivia said.
"But she was in the Academy with you?" He asked feeling a little confused.
"Yes, she decided that the police force wasn't for her and went to law school." Olivia explained as they headed in the direction of the Dwight residence.
Olivia held her breath as she knocked on the door. Jack opened it a smile on his face.
"Olivia! How are you?" He said giving her the embrace he always did when he greeted her. "Come in!" He said moving out of the way to let them inside. Olivia had been in the house so many times she knew to make her way to the living room. As she did every time she was there she sat on the love seat that sat facing a large stone fireplace. Elliot stood beside her.
"Coral's working at the moment, she has a very big case going on and pulled an all nighter at the office last night but aren't you meeting her from drinks later?" Jack asked and Olivia knew that he had sensed that something was wrong.
"Jack..." Olivia started but her voice broke away.
"Don't Olivia." He said shaking his head as his eyes began to fill with tears.
"Jack ... Coral's body was found in Central Park this morning." Olivia said her eyes glistening once again.
"No!" He gasped putting his head in his hands. Olivia rushed to his side and placed her arms around him. It didn't matter that she normally didn't do this as Jack was her friend. The victim was her friend.
"Why?" Jack sobbed as Olivia's tears dripped down her cheek.
"I don't know Jack." She whispered.
"And what am I to tell the kids?" he cried harder. "How am I supposed to tell them their mother is ... is ...Oh My God." He jumped out of his seat and ran to the kitchen. Olivia and Elliot looked at each other as they heard him heave.
"El..." Olivia whispered as she wiped the tear that was falling at her jaw.
"I know Liv." He said his heart breaking for his partner.
Olivia went to the kitchen and left Elliot behind. Jack was looking out of the window and sobbing softly.
"Jack. I'll get this bastard." Olivia said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I know you will." He whispered.
"We have to go but I'll call you if I have any news." Olivia said as she pulled Jack into her arms. He continued to sob and Olivia didn't feel like she could let him go easily.
"Wait." Jack said before pulling away from Olivia. He rushed around to the kitchen cabinets and went into a drawer before coming back to Olivia with a piece of paper.
"I don't know if it means anything but it came in the mail." He said handing the paper to Olivia.
Coral,
You'll be my first, watch your back.
"When did this come?" Olivia asked her eyes still transfixed on the note.
"Yesterday morning." He said.
"Ok, I'll get it into the lab and Jack I will keep you in the loop as much as possible." Olivia said.
"I know and don't be a stranger, I'm sure the boys would love to see you." Jack smiled weakly.
"We'll see ourselves out." Olivia said before going to get Elliot and leaving.

In the car on the way to the lab Olivia was quiet. She wasn't a person who opened up to people and trusted openly but Coral had been someone she'd confided everything about her past.
When they went into the lab they handed the paper over before going straight back to the precinct.
"What have we got?" Cragen asked coming towards her.
"Coral Dwight D.A, 33, she had a note yesterday morning saying that she'd be his first don't know if it related though but it's in the lab now." Olivia explained.
"We're just waiting to hear off Warner so we can know exactly what we have." Elliot added.
"Ok then Olivia and Elliot go to the morgue and wait until you have everything that Warner has. Fin and John check her phone and emails and see if you can dig anything out of those." Cragen said. "Let's catch this guy as I don't want to see any more of his handiwork." He added.
Just as Olivia and Elliot were about to leave her desk phone rang.
"Special Victims Unit, Benson." She said placing the phone to her ear. "Ok we'll be right there."
She glanced over at Elliot her face white.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Another victim." She said.
So did you enjoy? It's not much in this chapter I know but there is a lot of very M rated E/O to come I promise!
