Chapter 3

After canvassing the dorm building for two hours, Olivia and Emily returned to the precinct without anything new, talking to Betty Finely, Raquel Blaze's best friend and roommate didn't produce anything useful in the way of evidence or a Person Of Interest for Emily and Olivia to look at,

As they pulled into the precinct's parking garage Emily glanced over at Olivia, her brown eyes were focused straight ahead, her forehead was heavily furrowed with creases, indicating the older woman was presently either angry or deep in thought, Emily just continued to silently stare at Olivia, losing herself in the other brunette's exquisite features.

'I wonder how Olivia looks after just waking up in the morning? Probably just as flawless and beautiful as she does right now-' Emily thought as a smile eased its way across her lips.

"Hey, Emily, earth to Emily," Olivia says, gently touching her denim encased left leg,

Emily came back to reality at that moment,

"Huh, what did you say, Olivia?" Emily said quickly,

"I asked you where were you staying?" Olivia says, a playful smile playing at her lips,

"I-I haven't had a chance to check into a hotel yet," Emily answers nervously, though she doesn't know why.

"Why are you here, Agent Prentiss?" Alex said with venom in her voice,

"Detective Benson and I are working a really important case together, Counselor." Emily said.

"Where's the rest of your team, Agent Prentiss?" Alex asked a moment later,

"Alex, that's enough." Olivia said sternly.

Alex sighed before turning to Olivia,

"Liv, the only reason I called so many times was because I was worried about you." Alex said,

Olivia rolled her eyes at the blonde's statement.

"Well, as you can see Alex, I am fine, so now you can leave, Olivia snapped,

Emily noted the tone of Olivia's voice as well as the intensity blazing in her brown eyes that the blonde woman had done something to hurt Olivia deeply.

Unable to say anything, Alex turned and left, Stabler, Fin, and Munch
