Squad Room:

"Hey Captain?" Elliot Stabler asked.

"Yes."

"Maureen's coming by with a friend of hers. She said that this girl wanted to talk to us for some reason."

"Alright, get an interrogation room ready. When they get here, separate your daughter from her friend."

"Gotcha Cap."

"Uh, dad, it's not that kind of talk. She was just asking about Olivia and the squad. I think she knows you guys or something."

The squad turned around and the minute Olivia's eyes met mine, she gasped. She couldn't believe that I was standing in front of them.

"Do you guys know Kathy or something?" Maureen asked.

"Of course we do. Kathy how are you doin'? Is your mom treating you alright?" Olivia asked.

Maureen and I tried not to laugh. I remembered what she had been like the last time I had seen her. Tryin' to get me to talk and all; it was kinda hilarious.

"I'm doin' fine Olivia. But Mrs. Stabler helped me open up a bank account so that my mom couldn't waste all my money all her booze and smokes. She does that now. She's been drinking and smokin' ever since dad was put away. I had to start lyin' about how much money I've been making at competitions and I've got my coaches and the competition organizers on my side 'cause I guess they found out what mom's been doin'. Anyhow, this will be my last year dancin and all 'cause mom's refusing to pay for classes anymore. Says she's runnin' outa money, but I know better. I'm tryin' to get myself emancipated so that I can keep savin' my money and keep dancin' and all. Actually that's one of the reason's I asked Maureen to bring me here. I have a favor to ask Olivia. Oh and Olivia, I'm not six years old anymore, please don't act like I am. "

"Well I know you're not six anymore, so what did you want to ask me?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to Las Vegas with Maureen and me."

"Wait a second. Maureen, when were you going to tell me that you were going to Las Vegas?" Elliot asked.

"Mom said I could go. It's for Kathy's big dance competition that she's wanted to go to for a long time. Besides with Olivia going with us, we can visit the Crime Lab down there. Detective James Brass has already givin' us permission to talk to him. I told him that you were a Special Victims Detective and he wanted to know more about it so that they had a team down there for their 'Special Victims'. That's where Olivia comes into all of this. Who better to explain it than Olivia? Besides mom can't come with us because she has to work. And I think you could get someone to cover for Olivia better than mom can. Don't you think?"

"She's got a point Elliot," Captain Craigen said.

"Fine you may go, but if Olivia calls and says your misbehaving you'll be on the first plane back to New York immediately. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, dad, I understand. Thanks, knew you'd understand. Mind if we go to your place so Kathy can practice in a wider place. Mom doesn't care if I'm there but I have to have someone with me. Is it alright?"

"Yeah sure, here's an extra key to the place. Don't make a mess. Oh and here's some money so you can order pizza if you want."

Maureen and I burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Are you kidding me? I can't eat pizza. If I'm going to win the competition I can only eat sushi, which by the way is very appetizing and good for you. I'm sure Maureen will eat pizza, but I prefer sushi. Sorry, it's all I eat when I'm competing!"

"Okay, here's about $40 so you can get pizza and sushi and try and eat that stuff."

"It's alright, Mr. Stabler, I can eat pizza. I was only goofing you. I do that a lot. It's just I've done it ever since the trial. It was my way of coping. I always try to goof with whoever I meet. My coaches say it's the best quality that I have. Hehe!"
