Chapter 9
"Elliot, stop!" When he didn't stop or slow down, she ran to catch up.
"Elliot." She grabbed his arm to stop him. "Talk to me!"
"Leave me alone Olivia."
She knew that letting him go angry was a bad idea, even though she would have to face his anger. She's never been afraid of him.
"No."
He knew she wouldn't leave him alone. Yet knowing didn't stop his anger; and he's never been one to keep it bottled up.
"Leave me alone Liv."
Olivia was starting to get angry herself.
"You think you're the only one who can feel this? I know this one is getting to you, but don't you dare say that I don't feel it too. You know- you of all people know…" Olivia sighed, shaking her head. "Never mind, Elliot. Never mind." She turned on her heel and walked away.
He stared at her retreating back, realizing this wasn't the best way to get her to love him. Elliot was taken aback; when had he fallen in love with his partner? He knew his feelings were more than friendly, but when had love entered the picture? Yet there it was, that pesky little four-lettered word. What should he do? Should he tell her? And if so, how? So many questions were running through his head; now all he needed were answers.

"Get us in there," Elliot demanded.
When the door was opened by the uniform offices Elliot and Olivia and a few others walked into the apartment.
"I'll go this way, El."
Walking to the left, Olivia came across a closed door. Taking out her gun, she opened it slowly. Inside, she couldn't see anything. She took out her flash light and looked around the room.
"El, over here!" She flipped on the light switch. She and Elliot looked around the room, there were pictures all over the walls and doors; Marie taking a walk, Marie with Paul, Marie with her boyfriend, James.
"Oh God. It's always the same."
"Looks like Paul was right. Well now he's under arrest," Elliot told Olivia.
