(Present- warning: slightly boring! Sorry!)

"I remember that lady!" Olivia laughed hard, "She ruined EVERYTHING."

" I wouldn't have forgiven her if I lost you," Elliot looked down and frowned, " I was so worried.

" El, " Olivia reached over and took his hand , "Look at me."

He looked up and stared into her brown eyes. They had captivated her since the first day where she had told him to stay out of her life. He smiled at the thought which made olivia give him a weird look.

" sorry... I just remembered the lady's face when I tried to deny her." He lied.

" El, we've been partners for so many years and I've been always wanting to tell you something." She bit her lip.

"What.." Elliot proceeded with caution.

"You're really weird." She let out a laugh.

"LIKE YOU'RE ANY BETTER!" Elliot exclaimed, laughing along with her.

(Back at the station)

"So, has anyone actually looked at the video tape from the club?" Cragen asked around the squad room.

"Sir! Watch this!" Munch waved the captain over to the lit up screen.

A bright video started playing as loud music played through the old speakers. "This is when the lady came over to Elliot and Liv, " Munch pointed to the figures.

"And this, " Fin continued while pressing a button to slow the video down, " is when the chaos started. Notice that Tim and his followers actually run out as soon as people started running around. And this, " he stopped the tape and pointed to a figure, " is who shot Liv. I have no clue who he is though."

"And this, " a younger officer named Brandon gestured to a different screen, " is the perp leaving the scene." Cragen looked at the guy who was quickly exiting the back door of the club.

The man looked around quickly and fortunately looked directly at the camera.

"Shit!" Munch exclaimed and punched the desk next to him.

"What?!" Cragen yelled at him .

" that's my nephew!" munch yelled back, pointing at the paused screen. He stopped, calmed himself down, and started again, " and I know exactly where to find the prick."

(Hours later)

"Trent! Trent! Open the damn door.!" Munch pound on the old rusty door in the back alley way.

Fin and Minch had traveled to downtown New York and found the house where munch's nephew had resided. They were both armed, but Fin still looked around cautiously. This was a bad part of the area.

A boy about eighteen opened the door and squinted out into the bright afternoon sunlight. "What uncle John?! " he groaned.

"Trent. You're under arrest for the attempted murder of a police officer. You have the right to remain silent," Munch slapped a pair of cuffs on the boys wrists, " anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law..."

(One day later ;back in the hospital.)

Olivia's phone chirped on the dresser next to her bed. She picked it up and answered, "benson."

" Olivia. We got him. We got the guy who shot you." Fin explained excitedly.

"You did?!" She practically yelled into the receiver. Elliot looked at her and raised an eyebrow .

" yeah. Cap actually wants you to talk to him. Can you get out of the jail cell you call a hospital?" Fin joked.

"Yeah I can. Thanks!" Olivia hung up quickly. She looked over at Elliot and smiled softly.

"Elliot?"

"Yeah?" He looked at her quizzically.

"Ready to get out of here?" She winked.

"I thought you'd never ask." He smiled, understanding her completely
