Chapter 2: We could be friends… NOT

OLIVIA'S POV

This case took forever, first off Dani was making elementary school mistakes like this was her first time or something. Fin was staring at her like she was a god complex, and Munch well, I dunno what's up with him, he just seems happy.

I finally found out who it was and Dani ran crying into the cribs and let no one talk to her, really is she that much of a whimp. I sure a hell hope that Elliot was only acting close to her, because is he was, her is gonna do the one thing he promised to never do, and that is hurt me, to the point of no return.

You and this job are all I have anymore

I bit my lip and went up to talk to Dani.

"Hey," I sat down next to her, "What's wrong."

"Is it hard for you, to work with another partner?" She looked up at me tear streaks down her face, "especially when you were close to the one you had."

"Yeah, I can't stop thinking though, about this one case I had with Elliot," I looked at her; she really was a wreck, what the hell had happened.

"How does that come into play?"

"I transferred out of the unit after it, for about a couple of weeks, I had been working with Elliot for almost eight years"

"What happened?"

"A boy died," I closed my eyes, "The perp, was a guy name Gitano. He was holding Rachel the little girl at knife point. Elliot could've had the boy, but he lashed out and attacked me and ran. Instead of going after Ryan, the boy, he came to me. Gitano killed the boy.

"When we finally found where he was, Gitano got Elliot at gun point. He was telling me to take the shot. He told me it was alright." There were tears starting to stream down my face now. "He actually thought that I would've taken the shot if the sniper hadn't been there and had beaten me to it." I took a deep breath, why was I telling this bitch this again? "I can still remember the arguments; we've had over the case. He told me that he couldn't keep looking over his shoulder to make sure I was okay. He told me that he needed to be sure that I could do my job and not wait for him to come to my rescue" I laughed a little.

Dani smiled, "Isn't he the one that usually needs the rescuing?"

"Yeah," I took a deep breath.

"What else happened?" she looked very interested.

I close my eyes as it replays in my head one part sticking out.

"Look," Elliot muttered, "we both chose each other over the job. We can never let that happen again. Otherwise... we can't be partners."
I stared at him in disbelief, "I can't believe you're saying that."
"Look," he said, trying to make a valid point, "you and this job are about the only things that I've got anymore. I don't want to wreck that. I couldn't take it." He then proceeded to walk away.

"He said that we couldn't be partners anymore, if we put each other before the job." I sighed. "I made a mistake, I got to emotional, not only with the case, but with my partner I guess." I took another deep breath so I wouldn't cry. "He was my best friend, y'know, he was like family. I've never had that, but if you are close to your family, wouldn't you do anything to help them. And would you ever shoot if you knew that your partner was endanger. Elliot was right about one thing though." I sighed

"What was that?" She asked, she did want to learn from a huge mistake.

"We did let our emotions get in the way of our better judgment" As I was saying that, I felt an all to familiar presence, and it spoke

"No, I was wrong" It said

::Downstairs::

Elliot's POV

I walked into the squad room, I needed to talk to Liv, apologize for not telling her first.

"Hey, Fin," I said with a half empty smile. "Where's Olivia?" Her coat was on her chair.

"Oh, your old partner Dani, is Baby-Girl's new partner. Uhh, I believe that Beck got emotional about something and went to the crib. Olivia followed after a minute. It's been to quiet for a while, I'd go upstairs myself, if I didn't fear being killed."

I laughed, "Who would kill you?" I asked.

"Liv, if Dani didn't first. Seriously, girls should work together."

"Why?" I asked walking towards the stairs.

"Well Beck is and emotional wreck, and Liv is the walking dead," Fin sighed shaking his head. "Liv is only bottling up her emotions, she gonna blow soon and I don't wanna be near when it happens; which is probably going to be soon since you are here man."

Munch looked up and pouted, he literally pouted, "Please come back, please it's so boring without you and Liv, arguing about everything, every two seconds."

"I'll try man, I'll try." I went up and heard Olivia talking then she paused and after a minute said

"He said that we couldn't be partners anymore, if we put each other before the job. I made a mistake, I got to emotional not only with the case, but with my partner I guess. He was my best friend, y'know, he was like family. I've never had that, but if you are close to your family, wouldn't you do anything to help them. And would you ever shoot if you knew that your partner was endanger. Elliot was right about one thing though."

I was right, she never admits when I'm right.

I heard Dani respond with a question, and then heard Olivia say, "We did let our emotions get in the way of our better judgment"

I didn't know what I was doing until I said, "No, I was wrong" I realized then that not only was I was telling the truth, but that I desperately miss Olivia, and that I was in love with her.

Ohhh, Elliot's back! How do Olivia and Dani react? Is Dani going to let Olivia get in the way of a drunken kiss that she and Elliot so un-passionately shared, or will she fight? Ha but Elliot already loves Olivia right?
