Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Lies and Deceit
Chapter Two
Fight!
Elliot watched Olivia from his side of the desk. He couldn't figure out why she was acting so mad at him. It's not like he was the one who kissed someone. Well, he did, but she didn't know that, that he knew of.
Olivia could feel his glare. She looked up with the same hostile look.
"What?" she asked with an atittude.
He wanted to say something, that was sarcastic and hurtful. Then again, he knew he couldn't do that to her in public, no matter how mad he was.
"Nothing," he said looking down.
A few minutes later Cragen came out of his office and started talking to Munch and Fin, about their case.
He turned noticing Olivia and Elliot, hadn't said a word to each other the whole time. He looked from Elliot to Olivia, then back again.
"What going on here?" Cragen asked, "Is there something I should know about?"
Olivia looked up with her peripheral vision at Elliot, not moving her head, in the moment of silent.
"You're mad at each other," Cragen infered aloud.
"We're not mad at each other, Captain." Elliot said like it was a ludicrous statement.
Olivia waited to see if he would buy it, he didn't. "Do you two think I am an idiot?"
Olivia sighed.
"Olivia," Cragen said, "You want to take a stab at the truth."
Olivia looked off into space, with a sad look on her face. It was tough enough that Elliot had sex with Kathy before actually making the break-up official, now she had to admit in front of the whole squad room that she was mad at him.
Munch and Fin were staring, waiting for an answer.
"Yes, we…" she looked at Elliot searching for words, "Got in a little tiff."
Olivia tapped the huge paper calendar on her desk, with her nails, waiting for a response.
"You guys are suspended until you figure it out." They both looked at him with a look that said: are you insane? "I'm serious, you better figure it out fast because it's without pay."
If looks could kill, Olivia would of killed Elliot in that moment.
Olivia and Elliot sat in his car, Olivia looked out the passenger window, and Elliot looked out his. It was dead silent except for the sounds of the street. The cars, the people talking, yelling. It all seemed so loud, but too quiet at the same time.
"You know we're never gonna solve this if we don't talk." Elliot said
"We're never going to solve this period." Olivia stated taking a glance at hi,.
"I don't understand why you're acting this way, you're the one who kissed someone." Elliot said.
"He kissed me, and I wasn't the one caught doing the horizontal mumbo with my ex-wife." Olivia said raising her voice and unmasking her anger.
Elliot got an utterly surprised look on his face. "H-how did you know about that?"
"Your daughter told me about it." Olivia said with quite an attitude.
"Kathleen?" Elliot asked, "Kathleen told you."
"I was there, when you called the apartment." Olivia said, "She had no choice."
"Why were you there in the first place?" Elliot asked getting a little riled up.
"To tell you that you were being an idiot," Olivia stated angrily, "That he kissed me, and I pulled away as soon as possible!"
Elliot was quiet for a second, and Olivia hoped he was realizing he was wrong.
Then he went and ruined it, "I know what I saw."
Olivia clenched her teeth, and made an exit from the vehicle.
Elliot didn't want her to leave, but was too mad to stop her. So he just let her walk on over to her car, and he drove off.
Olivia sat in her car, looking out the windshield as tears pooled in her eyes. A tear slipped down her cheek.
Heartache.
There was a repetition of knocks, that got louder on Olivia's door. By the time she got there they had turned into pounds on the door. She opened up the door with an annoyed look on her face.
"What?" she asked letting the annoyance show in her voice.
Casey stood there, with big eyes. "The captain suspended you and you didn't feel like telling me?!"
Olivia could see that Casey was about to blow a gasket. "Whoa calm down." Olivia said looking at her watch.
It was six twenty two Casey had just gotten off work.
"Look, I was going to call you, but I was going to wait until you got off work." Olivia said, which was the truth.
"I have been off work for twenty two minutes now." Casey said
"Excuse me for being twenty two minutes late." Olivia said
Casey calmed down. "I don't care just tell me!" Casey said, inviting herself in.
"Ok…come on." Olivia said shutting the door, and walking over the couch.
"I can't believe this, Cragen suspended you and Elliot for having a "little tiff" as he called it. You have some explaining to do." Casey said sitting down next to Olivia on the couch.
"Elliot and I, are over." Olivia said
Casey got an expression on her face that said: What?
"What?" she said aloud, "You can't be."
Olivia shook her head, partially in disbelief that they were. "We are... The guy, from the casino the other night, the officer, he came to the precinct. He asked me out, and before I could say no…he kissed me. I pulled away, and Elliot saw. He took the rest of the day off, I guess he couldn't deal with it. Went to go see Kathy and they...acted like the divorce never happened." Olivia said
"He had sex with Kathy?" Casey asked in disbelief.
"Well, I was trying to sugar coat it but yeah." Olivia said.
"Oh…I'm, I'm so sorry." Casey said showing her sympathy in her face.
Olivia looked at Casey with a side glance, "I'll get over it."
"You guys finally get together and he has to ruin it." Casey stated, shaking her head.
"We shouldn't of gotten together, I knew this would happen." Olivia said
"What do you mean?" Casey asked
"I knew we'd get together and us being a couple would ruin it." Olivia said
Casey shook her head, "Liv, I have never seen two people more made for each other. Everyone makes mistakes, and Elliot made one. He'll see that and he'll come crawling back."
Olivia just shook her head, with a faint smile at Casey' s interpretation. Then she sighed, realizing how much she wanted it to be true.
Elliot lied in bed, he was thinking of what happened in the car, and what Olivia had said. "He kissed me, I pulled away as soon as soon as possible!" He wanted to be mad at her, but what she said had him doubting that it was her fault. He decided tomorrow when they tried to hash it out, he would apologize.
There was a buzz. Someone was trying to be buzzed into the building. He rolled his eyes, it was sort of late, 10:30. He got up and headed for the door. He knew it wasn't Olivia, because she knows she's in the right and she stands her ground. So who was it.
He opened the door to reveal Casey.
"What are you doing here?" he asked immediately with question in his eyes.
"Hello, to you too." Casey said, "Look we need to talk."
"About?" he asked as if he didn't already know.
"Olivia," Casey said
"What about her?" Elliot asked
"I know what you did Elliot." Casey said, "And I know it's none of my business, but if you don't apologize now, you're gonna lose the best thing you've ever had."
He thought about that for a second, hand resting on the door. Casey was searching his face to determine his reaction to her comment.
"She is the best thing I ever had." He stated simply, agreeing, "I was going to apologize tomorrow."
"Oh…" Casey said thinking her little moment of courage wasn't really needed.
"Thanks though." Elliot said
Casey looked off to the side, "Well, I am going to leave now." Before I embarrass myself any further…she thought to herself.
Elliot told her goodbye, and she started for the elevator.
As Elliot shut the door he thought about how Olivia technically did nothing wrong. So theoretically, he had cheated on her…and he knew she knew that.
This was going to have to be one hell of an apology.
