"No Honey, I swear I remember." Elliot said switching the phone from one ear to the other. "Yeah I'm leaving right now. Really." Elliot started tidying up his desk as he listened. "Ok, I'll pick up the ice, and see you shortly." He quickly interjected and hung up.
Elliot continued to tidy up his desk moving things from one pile to another. Finally he opened a drawer and started pushing the piles of things into it. He was busy doing this when the phone rang again.
"Stabler." He said in an angry tone, thinking it was Kathy again making sure he was really leaving. The voice on the other end however wasn't that of Kathy's, instead it was an annoyed Cabot. "Just what I need" Elliot thought, "If its not one woman harassing me its another". He listened for a minute before replying quickly "Yeah, No problem it will be there shortly." Elliot hung up the phone, shut the drawer and locked it. "That was Cabot, she needs that paperwork, and I need to leave. Kathy planned a dinner with her co-workers and I totally forgot about it. I've got to run, so can you bring this over to Cabot's?" He said handing a blue folder to Olivia.
Liv took the folder, picked up a small red box from Elliot's desk and handed it to him. "Don't forget to lock this up as well. Kathy would kill you if you lost the bracelet before you even got a chance to give it to Maureen this weekend." Liv said setting down the blue folder on her desk, and starting to look for something else. Elliot quickly added the box to the drawer before rushing towards the door. He paused briefly at the door to shout back "Don't forget the paperwork" and bolted towards the elevator.
-------------------------
"Knock, Knock" Liv said pushing the door to Cabot's office open a little.
"So did you forget about me, or was it just plain rudeness?" Cabot stood up and quipped. Left with out anything appropriate to respond, Liv could do nothing more than shrug. Cabot removed her glasses and rubbed her eyes and sighed. It had been another long day for the both of them, and the lack of sleep was obviously getting to her. Luckily the weekend was coming up, and there would be plenty of time to sleep in then.
"I need you here tomorrow afternoon to Prep for the "Milton" case. You will be testifying Monday morning." Cabot said sitting back down.
"Does it have to be on a Friday? I like to start my weekend on a good note. Should El come too?"
"Your the arresting officer, so I should only need you" Cabot said trailing off and swiveling in her chair before quickly adding "to testify."
"Alex..." Liv started to say before the phone interrupted her.
"Cabot... Dinner tonight? Of course I am free, I am just finishing up here" Alex said motioning to Liv to leave the blue folder on her desk, and starting to spin in her chair. Liv knew that look Alex had on her face, she could tell Robert was on the phone. Alex always got the same goofy look on her face whenever she talked to him in front of Liv. Liv dropped the folder and left without waiting for Alex to acknowledge her departure. She would have to wait until later to talk to Alex. She had waited this long, what was another day or two?
