Decisions

Chapter 9

Elliot kneels in front of her as she sits on the bed.. She looks him in the eyes. Elliot wipes the tear from her cheek.

Elliot: "Olivia, can I ask you a question?"

Olivia: "What is it Elliot, can't you tell that I am in turmoil about this?"

Elliot: "Did I do something wrong? Did I misinterpret what you said?"

Olivia sobbing: "No Elliot, you did nothing wrong. You did not misinterpret what I said. I did say I couldn't anymore. I couldn't!"

Elliot: "Why are you crying then, I wanted it as much as you did, if not more."

Olivia: "Elliot, we are partners. You are back with Kathy, she just had your child."

Elliot: "Right now, You are considered my wife. I can have no further contact with Kathy until this is over. If so, it will blow our cover."

Olivia: "Elliot, what are you trying to do to me??? I feel so guilty, I can't play these games. I got caught in the heat of the moment."

Elliot: "Olivia…come on," standing up, he begins to pace in front of her, "I COULDN'T CONTROL IT EITHER!"

Olivia: "Keep it down El! If Captain hears us fighting, he will jerk us off this case."

Elliot: "Fine, but we are going to have to discuss this sometime. SOON!"

Olivia was very upset by this time. Elliot stormed out as he always does. He couldn't believe she wouldn't talk to him about it. Why was she so upset if she wanted it that badly. He kept thinking about what she said in regards to the heat of the moment. That statement made him angry.

Casey stopped Elliot in the hallway. She glared at him with the look of annoyance.

Elliot: "Not you too." He said as he continued to walk.

Casey: "Elliot? Can I talk to you a moment?"

Elliot: "Don't give me a hard time Casey?"

Casey: "It's Liv…I need to tell you something."

Elliot: "Fine, let's go get a hot dog. It is nearly noon and I haven't had anything but coffee."

Casey and Elliot walk out on the street. The hot dog vendor was not that crowded. His undercover cell phone rings in his pocket. He looks at Casey, hesitating to answer. He looks at the phone still ringing in his hand. He flips it open.

Elliot: "Hello"

Keith: "Hey El?"

Elliot: "Keith?"

Keith: "Yea…Nice day for a hot dog huh?"

Elliot: "Huh? Actually yes it is."

The call ends. Just then Elliot feels a tap on the shoulder. It is Keith and Sue, right in front of him.

Keith: "Hey man!" (grinning)

Elliot: "Uh…Hey there man!"

Keith: "So, who's this? Where's Livette?"

Elliot: "We had to get some things form the police station, she is in there now getting them."

Keith: "Why the police station?"

Elliot: "We lost some things in the move and filed a police report. We were just tying up some loose ends in regards to paperwork."

Keith: "Oh I see."

Sue: Will she be out in a bit?"

Elliot: "Liv was starving I came to get her something. Oh…uh…This is Cassandra, my neice."

Cassandra extends her hand, "Nice to meet you."

Elliot is nervous. What were these two doing here right in front of the police station in the middle of the day? Had they followed the two detectives?

Cassandra: "I am going to see if Liv needs any help? See you inside El!"

Elliot: "Alright, be right there."

Elliot looks at Keith and Sue. They smile in return. Elliot is worried that they are blown.

Elliot: "I better get in here and make sure the list is complete this time. Those losers never get anything right. They can't find a damn suitcase let alone a criminal!"

Keith smirks: "I know…even the murders out there they can't track."

Elliot smirks in response: "Ah, I just want my shit back. I gotta go. See you tonight!"

Keith nods and Elliot heads back in. Olivia is standing in front if the elevator when it opens and Elliot steps out.

Olivia: "Casey told me you all were met on the street by Keith and Sue?"

Elliot sighs: "Yes, I am worried about this. He had the new cell number too. He called just before and said…"Nice day for a hot dog huh?" then he hung up and tapped me on the shoulder."

Olivia: "Damn, are we being tracked?"

Olivia and Elliot head into Cragen's office. Cragen is on the phone.

Cragen: "Yes sir, I will let them know to be more careful."

Cragen turns to look at Olivia and Elliot. The look of disgust covers his face. Elliot and Olivia knew that things were serious.

Cragen: "Have a seat. We need to conference. I will get Munch, Fin and Casey."

Casey comes in first, Munch and Fin right behind her. Cragen closes the door. He goes behind his desk and sits down. He interlaces his fingers and puts them on the desk. Cragen looks at Casey and shakes his head before he speaks.

Cragen: "We have a problem."

Casey: "What's that?"

Cragen: "They have got accessed the wireless system in the house. They can see every camera. Also, They have penetrated the cellular companies files and have accessed the new phone and can trace you as long as it is on."

Elliot: "What the hell?"

Olivia: "I knew this would happen. So now there can be no talking or anything in the house in regards to the case. That is why you all are trying to be so careful and secretive while we are in the house."

Cragen: "Not only that. They may know about the house that Munch and Fin are in as well. We have cleared it out and made it look like a residence. Two roommates are in there now. The cameras are now only security devices that have been installed and only viewable from ICD."

Munch: "So, we don't get to watch now?"

Cragen: "Enough! You and Fin now are roommates and live in the house across the street. Watch the house carefully from over there. We have brought in binoculars and things to help you. The cameras are only now seen from here within this department and ICD."

Olivia: "So, we need to watch every word and go deeper undercover than before?"

Elliot: "As if that hasn't been done already."

Cragen: "We can't take you out now, too risky. Your lives may be at stake."

Olivia: "Captain, no problem, Elliot and I can do this. Trust us!"

Cragen nodded then excused the whole gang. Casey and Olivia paired off as they left the office. Cragen asked Elliot to stay behind. Munch and Fin returned to their desks.

Cragen: "Elliot, take care of Liv."

Elliot: "I will sir, she is safe with me."

Cragen: "Don't take advantage of the situation. Liv has been through a lot in the past year or so."

Elliot: "Yes sir."

Elliot walks out and spots Casey and Olivia. Olivia was looking at herself in the pocket sized mirror from her desk, applying her lipstick. Casey was flipping thru some papers in her hand. Elliot approaches and breaks the silence.

Elliot: "You ready Liv?"

Olivia: "Let's go."

Elliot: "Come on Case. You have to walk out with us to make it look believable."

Elliot grabs Olivia's hand and intertwines his fingers into hers. He is not going to let her go no matter what. Casey steps in behind the two detectives. They take the elevator to ground level and get off and exchange goodbyes and go in opposite directions. It is nearly 2:30pm by this time and Elliot and Olivia get in the care and head 'home'. Olivia decides she wants to get some things before they get home. She stops and heads in to shop a little. She has to have a dress for tonight. She also picks up a couple things for later, for Elliot.

Elliot and Olivia arrive at the house around 4:00pm. They unlock the door and go inside the house. Olivia sits her shopping bag down at the base of the stairs, heads to the kitchen and pops the top on a beer and guzzles it halfway down. Elliot comes into the kitchen. Olivia hands him a beer and he dos almost the same except he drinks a little more from the bottle.

Elliot: "Should we figure out what we are going to wear to night…honey?"

Olivia: "I have just the dress in mind."

Elliot: "Oh, really? Sexy I hope."

Olivia blushes. She is beginning to like this arrangement but could not admit that to Elliot. She has decided to make the best of it. If it meant having sex with Elliot every night, she would. She would, and enjoy every moment.

Olivia: "Very honey." As she reaches up and kisses him on the cheek then walks away.

Elliot gulps down another drink of beer. He wants her so badly. The thoughts of last night are clear in his head at this moment. Olivia grabs the shopping bag, runs upstairs to the bedroom and shuts the door. Elliot follows but she had locked the door.

Elliot: "Come on Liv, Open up!"

Olivia: "Nope" Laughing from just on the other side.

Elliot: "Liv…let me in…don't play games with me."

Olivia opens the door and looks straight into his eyes, "Who's playing?"

Elliot: "You were."

Olivia: "Not anymore…Honey!"

Elliot squeezes out a smile, but is at odds inside. "What do you mean, Liv?"

Olivia: "I will not play games with you. If I say something, I mean it. I will not deny myself anything that I want any longer."

Elliot: "Huh?", swallowing hard.

Olivia smiles and walks toward the bathroom with her bag. She strips her shirt of before entering the bathroom then looks back at him with all the confidence in the world before closing the door behind her.

Elliot legs are weak at the sight of her. He walks over to the bathroom door and puts his hand against the door. He steps back when he hears the knob rattle as she prepares to open it. Olivia jerks the door open quickly. She is standing in the doorway directly in front of Elliot with only her bra and panties on. Elliot melts. Olivia steps in toward him and places her hand on his face. She, then, presses herself against him and throws her arm around his neck, the whole time smiling and keeping eye contact.

Olivia: "What's the matter baby…don't you like it?"

Elliot: "uuhhh…sure I do! Damn Liv!"

Olivia: "I figured I would have to have some undies to match my dress. That is always sexy right?"

Elliot: "Oh yea.", placing his hand around her back and squeezing her into him.

Olivia: "So, you approve Mr. Russo?"

Elliot: "You bet. You look amazing."

Olivia wraps her free arm around his neck and touched noses with him. "Good!"

Elliot: "You are so sexy Liv. I…"

Olivia: "Not another word. I gotta get my hair done."

Olivia kisses Elliot. Elliot is on fire for her. He steps into her and she bumps against the wall. Her mouth opens slightly and he wants more. Olivia ends the kiss and looks at him confidently and makes eye contact again.

Olivia: "Save that for later baby." Smiling at him.

Elliot: "Damn, what has gotten into you?"

Olivia doesn't say a word as she walks back into the bathroom to get ready for the meeting with Keith and Sue. Elliot is dumbfounded and sits on the bed for a moment.

Elliot: "Liv, is there any liquor in the house?"

Olivia (from the bathroom): "I thought I saw a couple bottles in the cupboard, go check."

Elliot heads downstairs and finds a bottle of tequila and a bottle of vodka. He puts them in the refrigerator for later. Elliot knows he will need a drink for later. If he is going to get through tonight, he may need more than one. Olivia was in his every thought now. How would he resist the urge to have her again. Especially now that she was as confident and assertive as she is?
