All the characters of Law & Order SVU belong to Dick Wolf and NBC Universal.
Note: The gangs show in this fic I saw in a NatGeo documentary. I found it super interesting. Although I think I soften them a bit, on TV they paint them much worse hahaha.
Chapter 7
My Knight Shining Armour
Elliot noticed it and immediately followed her into the conference room. He found her sitting at the table looking at the photos of Erika and Nick's body.
- It's not good for you to see those photos, it does not do you anything good – Elliot said putting the photos aside
- That's not your problem, I can do whatever I want; what are you doing here? - Olivia said annoyed
- I'm here to help you with the murder of Detective Amaro, I know you're not well, partly I'm guilty of that, but also everything that's happened these last 2 weeks, you need to calm down and rest – Elliot said
- Ah I did not know that you were my knight in shining armour and you came here to rescue me (she said sarcastically, she paused and then said) Let me tell you two things; first you are guilty of everything, but it does not matter anymore and second I do not need your help and even more important I do not want it - Olivia shouted
By that time everyone in SVU was out of the conference room listening to Olivia's screams
- I already know that and I'm very sorry; but you have to let me help you, you cannot take care of yourself – Elliot said and took Olivia's hands
- You think you know everything and I have to do everything you say, you are very wrong (Olivia said, she paused and said) Ah and do not ever put a hand on me again or I will sue you for sexual harassment – Olivia said and she let go of his hands and with one she slapped Elliot and went out the door; without giving importance to the hundreds of detectives who were standing there with their open mouths very surprised
Elliot on the other hand sat in one of the chairs with his hand on the cheek where Olivia had hit him. Cragen, Casey, Alex, John, Fin, Melinda, George and Amanda came in to talk to him.
- You're Ok? - Alex asked removing his hand from his face to see how red his cheek was
- I'm okay, what hurt me the most was what she said, not the blow – Elliot said
- You're sure, because she knows how to hit; God if she did that to you who according to everyone here she loves you, I'm afraid to think what she would do to someone else - Amanda said
- She's not like that Detective Rollins, you have a bad concept of Olivia; what she did right now I deserved it, I did not expect a different reaction from her, she also spent a few terrible weeks – Elliot said
- And how do you know that? - Melinda asked surprised
- I told him, I went to see him because I thought that having Elliot would calm her, obviously I was wrong - John said
- No, it was a good idea, I was the one who got the wrong approach, try to be sweet, but she stomp me, with her you have to do everything by force – Elliot said
- She is going to be mad at you more than she is already – Casey said
- I do not care if it keeps her safe, besides she cannot hate me more than she already hates me – Elliot said
- Hate is not the word I would use, if she hated you, she would not be so angry to have lost the Semper Fi that always hung around her neck since you sent it – Fin said
- She is a complicated person, but I love her as she is; talking about that where she went? – Elliot said
- I bet to her new favorite place, the roof - Cragen said
Olivia was on the rooftop crying uncontrollably, although she did not know very well why she was crying. If it was anger because of what Elliot did to her and the fact that he returned as if nothing happen or the sadness for the Nick's death, who in the short time he was with her was always at her side until the last moment despite her contempt at the beginning; or she simply felt overwhelmed and did not know what to feel or what to do with so many emotions. Suddenly she heard the door, wiped the tears and arranged the hair. Elliot appeared in front of her, he immediately noticed that she had been crying, he just wanted to hold her, comfort her and make her feel better. But he was not going to do it because he knew that Olivia was not going to accept him, so he preferred his second option, forcing her to be with him.
- What are you doing here? What do you want now? - Olivia asked, still angry
- I'm here to explain something to you and make it very clear; my boss assigned me the case of Detective Amaro whether you like it or not, and I'm going to stay in the case and if you cannot work together then I will pull you out from the case, that simple – Elliot said
- You have gone crazy, why you care, you did not even know him - Olivia shout
- He was a NYPD detective who gave his life to save yours, as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to search under every rock for his killer, it's the least I can do to thank him for what he did for the woman I care about - Elliot said and finally Olivia was speechless
- Then I want your answer, can you work with me or do I take you out of the case right now? - Elliot asked
- I'll try, but only because I owe it to Nick; because I do not even want to see you – Olivia said
- Fine, as you wish – Elliot said
