Decided to do a quick update instead of leaving you all hanging like that.

Chapter 10

"Elliot Stabler," said Lt Tucker.

"What the hell is going on, what you doing here Tucker?" asked Elliot.

Olivia sat up right and carefully moved Eli off her when she heard Elliot. Tucker looked at the office in uniform stood next to him. The young office turned to Elliot with a set of handcuffs and wrapped one around his wrist spinning Elliot so he was against the door.

"Elliot Stabler, you are under arrest for the murder of William Lewis…."

Olivia jumped up from the couch.

"Tucker what the hell are you doing?"

"You have the right to remain too silent, any you say and do can and will be held against you in a court of law…..." Tucker continued the rest of his words were lost

"Your fucking crazy," said Elliot as the other cuff was slapped onto him he looked over his shoulder at Olivia.

Olivia tried to pull the young officer off Elliot, she recognised him from the station.

"I'm sorry Detective Benson" he apologised.

"Dad what's going on?" asked Lizzy holding onto Eli's hand as his son stood there looking shocked and scared as his dad was pinned against the wall.

"Tucker take the cuffs off, have you totally lost the plot, Elliot wasn't even there."

"Not according to a witness we have. He reckons Stabler was there and he is the one who pulled the trigger to kill Lewis."

"Well he is lying, ask Cragen he has my statement, please don't do this, you can't arrest him he didn't kill Lewis I did." Olivia was shaking as she looked at Elliot.

"Don't worry Liv, everything will be okay, I promise you," said Elliot as Tucker told hold of his arm and pulled him out the door. He turned his head "I love you," he told her as he was dragged away. Olivia ran out the door after him, tears running down her face as he was taken away...

"Get your fucking hands off him!" she yelled grabbing hold of Tucker and spinning him round and lifting her hand to punch him. Tucker grabbed her wrist.

"Don't be stupid Detective, unless you want to join Mr Stabler in cuffs for assault," he smirked at her as he emphasized the Mr part.

"Liv Baby, its okay, don't worry" he told her smiling. "Everything will be okay, call Cragen," he told her, "tell him what's happened." Olivia nodded.

"I love you," she told him.

"Look after the kids for me okay, Eli will be scared," he said to her. She nodded as he was dragged into the elevator.

She turned around and saw Lizzy and Eli stood in the doorway both crying. She quickly went to them and pulled them both into a hug. "It's okay," she told them. "Everything will get sorted it's just a mistake," she said leading them back into the apartment.

"Lizzy, can you take Eli keep and watch the movie," she said to Lizzy. "Try and calm him down a little he looks scared, just while I make some calls."

"Okay," said Lizzy her lip trembling. "Livvy is this because of what happened, did Dad do what he said."

"No sweetheart, he didn't. I pulled the trigger that killed Lewis not your dad. Tucker has had it in for your dad and me since we worked together," she said quietly. She looked at Eli and saw he started crying again. "Hey," she said bending down to him. "Your dad is going to be okay I promise. That man who came, he has made a mistake okay." Eli nodded.

"Will you rescue him, and bring him home?" he asked her.

"Yeah Honey, I will try my best to." Eli flung himself at Olivia and she hugged him tight. She looked up at Lizzy and nodded at her to take Eli so she could get to the phone. Lizzy took Eli and sat him on the couch with her and put the movie back on. Olivia went into the kitchen and made the first of her calls.

"Don," she said as soon as he answered trying to stay calm. "Tucker has just arrested Elliot."

"What the hell for?"

"The murder of Lewis he reckons he has a witness. Someone who said Elliot was there and that he pulled the trigger."

"Well it doesn't take a genius to figure out who the witness was. Where are they taking him do you know."

"No, I can't go anywhere till I call Kathy and get her to come and collect Eli and Lizzy."

"Okay, try and stay calm, I will find out where he is."

"Don I need him home, I can't do this without him," she said her voice breaking as she spoke.

"And you won't have to, I promise you. Get the kids sorted and come down to the station, hopefully by then this mess will be sorted out."

"Okay, I won't be long," she said hanging up.

She picked up Elliot's phone and found Kathy's number.

"Hey Elliot, what's up," she said answering the phone.

"Erm Kathy its Olivia."

"What's happened?" she asked knowing straight away there must be a problem if Olivia had called from Elliot's phone.

"They came and arrested Elliot, there was nothing I could do. I need you to …."

"Olivia its okay, honey. I will be straight over, are the kids okay?"

"A little shook up, Lizzy has Eli settled back down watching a movie."

"Are you okay?" she asked Olivia. Olivia could hear a door banging shut.

"Erm I guess, I'm scared Kathy, I don't know what they have on him to arrest him like this. I can't do this without him, I need him," she sobbed down the phone. "I have never needed anyone in my life, I have always managed, but I need him to get through this, he makes me feel safe."

Kathy was shocked to hear Olivia talk like this. She had always known her to be the strong one. The one everyone else went to when they needed someone, she had never heard her sound so vulnerable and scared.

"I will be there as soon as I can, I'm getting in the car now," she told her.

"Okay, just drive carefully," Olivia told her. Kathy smiled a little as she hung up the phone. There it was that reason why she could never hate Olivia Benson. She always worried and cared about everyone else, despite what was going on in her life.

Olivia hung up the phone and picked up her mobile and dialled the next number.

"Hey you reached Cassidy leave a message," said the answer phone.

" Cassidy I really hope you're not in the city right now you little prick. What the hell did you think would happen. You get Elliot arrested and I would fall back into your arms, your pathetic. If I was you I would get ion the first flight out of here, cause I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when Elliot is released. I never thought I would actually say this but I fucking hate you." She hung up the phone and slammed it down on the bench and wiped her tears away.

"You okay Liv?" asked Lizzy.

"I will be. Your Mom is on her way. How's Eli?"

"He's asleep….. Do you really think this Cassidy person is behind Dad being arrested."

"Yeah I do. He came around last night trying to get me back. Your dad lost his temper with him and I think I broke his nose."

Lizzy smiled "Bet that made Dad proud."

Olivia chuckled "yeah it did a bit, wish I had hit him harder now and knocked the prick out. I can't believe he has done this."

"But surely they can't arrest dad just on what he says."

"Like I said Tucker has had a thing for me and your Dad for years. I really don't know why, he just has….. Lizzy how much do you know about what happened when your dad came for me.?"

"Just what dad told me. He asked me to say he never left the house that day he went to you, because he shouldn't have been there as he wasn't a cop any more. And that you shot the man because he was going to kill dad."

"Yeah that's about it." she said not wanting to explain to her, how her dad had tortured him for over an hour. "But because your dad shouldn't have been there I never mentioned him in my statement. Otherwise more questions would have been asked. It seems Cassidy found out your dad was there and this is what he has told Tucker."

"So this Tucker is going to start digging now and try and place dad in the house and pin that guy's death on him."

"That's how it looks."

"So what we going to do. I mean dad didn't do it."

"I know sweetheart, I know. And trust me everyone at the 1-6 will have your dad's back. We will get him out of this, he hasn't done anything wrong."

They both stood silent for a while. "Liv do you think we best get dad a lawyer or something, just in case."

Olivia picked up her phone and dialled.

"Well hello Detective Benson, what have I done to deserve call from you."

"I need your help. Stabler has been arrested for murder. I need you to be there for him just like you were for me, Langan."

"Whoa, Whoa, whoa. What do you mean Stabler has been arrested for murder?"

"Tucker arrested him not long ago for the murder of William Lewis."

"But from what I heard you killed him in self-defence, there was nobody else even mentioned."

"Yeah well my bastard of an ex-boyfriend decided to point the finger at Elliot. Now you gonna help or what?" she asked getting impatient.

"Of course I will Olivia. Just because I used battle it out against the both of you doesn't mean I didn't like you both. What station is he at?"

"I don't know, call Cragen he was trying to find out."

"What you mean, you aren't with him?"

"No I'm at his place with his kids, waiting for his ex-wife, Kathy to turn up. Just find him and get down there. I don't trust Tucker one little bit."

"Olivia is there anything I need to know?" he asked her.

"Yeah, he didn't do it. I shot Lewis in self-defence."

Elliot sat in the back of the squad car in silence the handcuffs digging into his wrists. He couldn't believe everything had changed so quickly. One minute he was sat on the couch having a great night with the people he loved, next he was being dragged out in cuffs, in front of his kids. He felt his temper begin to rise and took deep breaths to calm himself.

"Hey Tucker, did you miss that much, you had to do a house call," he said. Tucker just turned round and smirked at him. "You do know that you're so called witness is pissed because Olivia threw his ass out and punched him last night. He is fucked off because she dumped him for me."

Tucker turned and glared at him. "Shut the fuck up," he snarled.

Elliot laughed. "You are going to be in so much shit when your bosses find out you fell for his bull shit. He just wants me out the way so he can try and get Olivia back. Are you that fucking desperate or are you just as stupid as we always thought you were."

"Has It even crossed your mind, we might have more evidence than just what he has told us."

Elliot tried no to look worried, wondering what they could have found. "I don't see how you could have anything, since I never killed him."

The remainder of the drive was done in silence. Elliot looked out the window and prayed to god nothing was missed when they covered up his trail.

The car pulled up to the front of the station and Tucker got out walking to the back door. "Welcome home Stabler," he grinned opening the door and dragging Elliot out of the back of the car, his hands still cuffed behind his back.

"You're a total Dick, do you know that," growled Elliot as he felt people looking at him as he was taken through the stations front door. Elliot smiled a little when he saw Cragen stood there on the other side of the door.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Tucker?" he asked him striding towards them.

"What the hell does it look like I'm bringing a suspect in."

"What and you had to parade him in through the front door, you couldn't have gone in the back entrance."

"You know I thought about it and then I thought Fuck it, he isn't one of us anymore, he left. He ran away and retired before he was pushed. He seems to have a habit of shooting unarmed people," snarled Tucker.

Elliot spun round and glared at him "You little fucking prick," he said getting up in his face, the veins in his neck popping out. Everyone in the immediate area stopped and watched as Elliot went for Tucker despite his arms still being behind his back.

"Oh dear," smirked Tucker. "It seems like three years out of the job and you still have that temper Detective….. oops sorry Mr Stabler."

Cragen stepped forward and put a hand on Elliot's arm. Elliot looked at him.

"It's okay son," he said to him. "We are here for you, you just need to calm down, okay."

Elliot looked at the older man, and nodded "Sorry Cap," he told him. He knew he needed to keep calm Tucker was looking for any reason to put him away.

"You do know this is a waste of time, he hasn't done anything." Cragen said turning back to Tucker.

"Well I guess we are about to find out….take up to interview room 1," he told the young officer. "and don't let anybody in with him unless I say so."

"I do hope, that doesn't include his lawyer," said Langan coming over to them.

"He hasn't asked for a lawyer," said Tucker glaring at Langan.

"Well he has one, and I'm here."

"Langan what the hell are you doing here?" asked Elliot.

"Olivia called as soon as Tucker took you. She thought it best I came straight down. Which if you think about it, is a good idea giving the past history between you two," he said looking between Elliot and Tucker. "Now is there somewhere I can talk to my client?"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Olivia opened the door to Kathy as soon as she knocked.

"Anything else happened?" she asked as soon as she came in.

Olivia shook her head and began to cry "I can't believe this is happening," she sobbed. Kathy looked around the room and saw Eli asleep on the couch.

"Lizzy put the kettle on," said Kathy. Lizzy nodded and walked into the kitchen.

"No I need to get to Elliot, I need to find out what is going on," said Olivia looking round the room for the keys to Elliot's car.

"Olivia," said Kathy putting her hand on her arm, she felt Olivia's body shaking under her touch.. "You can't go to the station in the state you're in. Why don't we sit you down, have a drink and calm down a bit. Then I will call you a cab to take you to the station. You're gonna be no good to Elliot in this state."

Olivia nodded and let Kathy lead her into the kitchen and she sat on a stool by the bench.

"This is my entire fault," said Olivia. "I should never have called him. I should have just left him alone. He was okay and now he is under arrest for something he didn't do."

"Olivia don't do this to yourself. None of this is your fault."

"How can you say that El was arrested in front of Lizzy and Eli for murder, Because of me. I called El knowing he would come to me. I put him in that house and now they are going to try and say he killed Lewis because my weasel of an Ex-Boyfriend told them we covered everything up." Olivia dropped her head into her hands, and looked up when she heard Kathy chuckling. "what the hell is so funny," she snapped.

"Olivia, you did cover everything up, well except the killing part," she laughed. "You two were back together less than a day and already your both in trouble and covering for each other. How the hell did you both last all those years. I'm sorry I know this is serious but it's still quite funny. Hell even I am involved cause I am ready to lie and say Elliot was at mine when I came in. Why is it nothing is simple when you two are involved."

"I can't believe you find this funny, Elliot could go to prison."

"No he won't, because he didn't do it, and everyone is behind the two of you. Olivia you and Elliot have been threatened with your jobs I don't know how many times. You have been accused of murder and helping a fugitive. Elliot said he wanted to kill perps, and helped you with your brother. He has beaten I don't know how many people up, covered up his own daughters DUI and was even accused of assault and accused killing a suspect. He has been in so much trouble over the years, I don't know how he managed to actually retire and not get thrown out, and you were just as bad."

Olivia went to argue back but didn't know what to say, she couldn't deny any of it.

"Olivia, if I have learnt anything about you lot at the SUV over the years it's that you stick together. You look out for each other. Now I don't know what exactly happened in that house and I don't want to know, but Elliot went to you and you both got out alive. Now that Lewis guy was a monster and deserved everything he got for what he put you through. And I don't think Captain Cragen is going to let you, Elliot or any of his guys go down because of him. So you need to stop panicking and put your trust in the men and women who have had your back over the last 15 years, they aren't going to let anything happen to either of you."

Kathy stood up and went to Olivia "He loves you Olivia and he wouldn't change anything that has happened over the last few days. But I know you two and he will come home to you," she said pulling Olivia into a hug. "Now let's have a coffee and get you down to the station, so you can at least be near him."

Olivia hugged Kathy back. "Why are you being so understanding?"

"Because despite everything I want Elliot to be happy, he hasn't been for so long and I know being with you will do that….. And believe it or not I do actually like you," she smiled.

Elliot sat in the interrogation room. Langan was outside talking to Cragen. He got up and went to the two way glass. He knew Cragen, Tucker and Langan were on the other side and god knows who else. He rubbed his wrists they were stinging from the marks left by the cuffs. He looked at himself in the window and smiled before taking a seat. It didn't matter what happened to him as long as Olivia was okay, she was safe and Lewis was dead. He went back to his chair and dropped in it and rested his head on the table.

Cragen watched his former Detective through the glass as the rest of his squad came up to him. "What the hell is going on Cap?" asked Fin

"Cassidy," he said.

"That little fucker," snarled Fin as he looked at Elliot.

"What we going to do?" asked Nick.

"I want you and Fin to find Cassidy, he has a lot to answer for. Amanda go see Warner bring her up to speed tell her to check everything again. Munch go pick up Olivia she will be going crazy about right now. I'm going to stay here and watch the interview find out how much Tucker knows."

They all nodded and headed out. Cragen turned back to the window as Langan and Tucker entered the room Langan sat down next to Elliot, Tucker across from him.

"So Stabler, where were you 4 days ago, the day Detective Benson was found.?"

"I was at my ex-wife's house looking after my son."

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah I made him chicken nuggets for his dinner, had a standoff with him cause he wouldn't eat them all and wanted to go and play with his friend"

Tucker grinned. "So your telling me that whilst your partner of 12 years was missing after being taken by some crazy rapist you were making nuggets for your son."

"Yeah."

"You didn't want to go and find her, help her, and maybe kill the bastard that had her."

Elliot looked down at his hands then back up to Tucker. "I hadn't seen Olivia since the day I left. I don't watch much TV or news. I get worried I'm going to hear about some cop shooting and it will be someone I know. It wasn't until my daughter put the news on later that day that I saw what was happening."

"So you didn't get a call from anyone in you former unit to tell you she was missing?"

"No I didn't."

"Nobody called you, nobody thought you would want to know."

"I guess not," said Elliot suddenly wondering why no one had called him. He looked up at the glass knowing Cragen would be there. "Maybe they thought it best not to tell me anything until they had found her."

"Because they know what you would have done. They know you would have killed the man who hurt your former partner, the woman you have wanted for years, the woman you shot a kid for."

Elliot glared at Tucker, but said nothing.

"Look you have no proof my client was even at that house let alone killed the man," said Langan. "All you have is the word of Detective Benson's ex-boyfriend, who is jealous and upset."

Tucker smiled at him before looking down at his notes.

"When was the first time you heard from Detective Benson?"

"She called me when she was at the hospital, she Erm, she needed someone to talk to whilst they did the rape kit."

"And she called you, not her boyfriend of the time."

"Yeah."

"And why is that?"

Elliot shrugged "She said she needed to hear my voice that she had missed me."

"But she had already heard your voice that day hadn't she? When she called you at your ex-wife's house."

Elliot looked at Langan then to the window.

"Damn it," cursed Cragen.

"I mean you did get a call didn't you?"

"Erm…. Yeah, sort of."

"Well you either did or you didn't."

"Yeah I got a call but she didn't really speak. She was quiet."

"So you get a call form you old partner who you know has been taken, who you know is still missing and you don't do anything."

"I didn't know she was missing at the time. I hadn't seen the news. I just thought she was trying to get in touch again like she had for the last 3 years."

"So what did she say to you?"

"Nothing at first, she was quiet, I was going to hang up thinking it was a prank caller. Just as I was about to put the phone down, I heard her voice. She asked me not to hang up, and that she needed to hear my voice."

Tucker just looked at him as he talked.

"I could tell something was wrong, so I asked her if she was okay, she said she was now she had finally heard my voice. I could tell there was something wrong so I just tried to get it out of her, but she didn't say much. Then the line went dead."

"And that was it, this is the bull shit your feeding me."

"Call it what you want, that's what happened. I didn't find out what had happened to her till later that day and I see on the news she had been found."

Tucker shook his head. "This is bull and we all know it." Elliot looked at him and never said a word.

"So after she was found, she called you from the hospital, and then from the station for you to come and get her and that was the first time you had seen each other for 3 years."

"Yeah, that's right."

"And you never left your wife's house all afternoon."

"No, I was there till she came in from work."

"And she will, say the same thing."

"Why don't you ask her?"

"We will don't worry. Did you call Detective Benson back after the line went dead.?"

"I tried to," he said thinking about how he used his mobile to call her back as he was getting in the car. "but I got nothing the line was still dead." Elliot looked at Tucker as he looked down at his notes.

"Do you own mobile?"

"Yeah, of course I do, who doesn't."

"Do you have it on you?"

"No…. it's still at home. I didn't think of grabbing it as you dragged me in handcuffs out the door."

"Did you use it to try and call Detective Benson back."

"No I told you I used the land line, what the hell is this."

"Someone used a mobile phone to call the house, they were on the phone quite a while."

"So why don't you just trace the number? Find the person who called and let me go."

"Because the number was withheld."

Elliot looked at Tucker, "Well it wasn't me."

Cragen took out his phone and called Olivia.

"Olivia it's me, I need you to listen. Get Elliot's mobile and go to his call log, erase any outgoing calls."

"What, why?"

"Tucker knows someone called the house that day, the number was withheld we just need to make sure they can't trace it to Elliot's phone."

"Okay," she said. "Then I'm on way down to you."

"Just wait there Munch is on his way for you."

"Okay, see you soon, How Is he doing Don?"

"He is doing fine, he is holding up okay."

Cragen hung up and went back to listening to the interview.

"Look, my client has answered all your questions, you have no reason to hold him," said Langan standing up. "Come on Elliot."

Elliot stood up and went to walk to the door. "You're not going anywhere Stabler, not until I speak to your Ex-wife, Detective Benson and your daughter to back up your story. I'm getting a warrant as we speak for your
car and mobile phone."

"Like hell are speaking to my daughter."

"And how the hell are you going to stop me, you know I may even ask your son a few questions, just to back up your story that you were there all day."

"Leave my family out of this. You know what Tucker, you really need to get over this thing you have for me, it isn't healthy," said Elliot getting right up into Tuckers face, their noses almost touching.

"Step back Mr Stabler," warned Tucker. Elliot didn't move, he just stood glaring at Tucker.

"You're a fucking prick do you know that."

Tucker smirked at him. "I'm the prick that is going to lock you up, I will find something to prove you were at that house, and I will prove that you and Detective Benson killed him together." Tucker moved his head to the side so he could whisper in his ear. "And then I'm going to lock her up as well. And we all know how much she likes being locked up, you never know I may even send her to Seal View, I'm sure the guards would love to see her again."

Cragen didn't hear what tucker said to Elliot, but he saw Elliot go red, then all hell broke loose. Elliot grabbed Tucker by his shirt and spun him round throwing him against the wall before punching him twice. Cragen ran into the room.

"Elliot stop!" he yelled grabbing hold of Elliot and pulling him off Tucker.

"You fucking bastard!" he yelled.

"Elliot you need to calm down," said Cragen. Another officer ran into the room and helped Cragen restrain Elliot.

Elliot nodded and finally calmed down. "I'm okay he panted… I'm okay." Cragen and the officer let go of him.

Tucker walked over to them a big smile on his face.

"Don't do this Ed," said Cragen.

Tucker ignored him as he stood in front of Elliot. "Elliot Stabler I'm charging you with the assault of a police officer," he told Elliot. "Cuff him," he said to the officer who had come in to help. "Take him down to the cells."

Elliot looked at him. "No you can't do this, Olivia needs me, don't do this," he looked at Langan and Cragen. "He provoked me!" he yelled as he was dragged out. "The fucker said he was going to make sure Olivia went to Seal View."

Cragen turned to Tucker "You what?"

Tucker shrugged his shoulders and looked at Langan. "It's Friday night, guess it's gonna be Monday morning now before your client gets into court, I'm sure there is plenty of room at Rikers."

"Are you serious," said Langan. "Just hold him here, do you know how many are in Rikers that he has sent down, when word gets out….."

"He should of thought of that before he let his temper get the better of him…. I will see you in court Monday morning," said Tucker leaving the room. "Oh," he said turning back. "I will have the warrant for his phone and car by the morning," he said leaving.

Cragen and Langan looked at each other. "Go," said Cragen to Langan, "Look after him." Langan nodded and headed off to the cells.

Cragen ran his hand over his head and made his way to his office. He had to try and do something there is no way Elliot could go to Rikers, not for three nights, he would never make it out of there in one piece. He picked up his phone and began to make some calls.

Half an hour later and many calls he put his phone down and rubbed his face.

"Don," said Olivia. "Which interview room is he in, Me and Munch can't find him." He looked up to see Olivia stood there, her face still bruised, her eyes red from crying and her hair tied back, she looked exhausted.

She looked at Cragen's worried face. "Don, what is, what's happened, where is El."

"Why don't you take a seat," he said getting out his chair and walking to her.

"Just tell me. Where the hell is Elliot!" she yelled.

Cragen looked at Munch and the to Amanda who had just walked in.

"He is okay…."

"Just tell me where the fuck he is!"

Cragen sighed "He punched Tucker in the interview room. He has been taken to the cells Tucker is charging him with assault. He is being held at Rikers till Monday morning."

Cragen watched Olivia turn white as she took in what he said. "No he cant. Don half the guys we put away are still in Rikers."

"I know, I'm trying to sort it, I'm waiting for a call back from the Warden." He walked over to Olivia and dropped down in front her. "He will be okay, he's tough, he can handle himself." He wiped away the tears rolling down her face.

"Can I see him at least, before he goes."

Cragen got up and went to his phone. "Hi its Captain Cragen, is Elliot Stabler still in the holding cell….. okay, keep him there as long as you can, I'm on my way down."

He looked at Olivia "Come on," he said taking her hand.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Elliot sat in the cell and rubbed his bruised swollen knuckles. "What the hell were you thinking Stabler," he said to himself banging his head off the wall.

After being dragged down to the cell and booked he was put into the holding cell. The officer in charge apologised to him calling Tucker a Dick, before leaving him. He had been sat there for over half an hour now, waiting for the van to take him to Rikers. He knew he was in for a bad weekend once word got round who he was. He dropped his head into his hands.

"You're a fucking idiot Stabler," he said to himself.

"Yeah you are," said Olivia. Elliot's head shot up. Olivia was stood on the other side of the bars. He stood up and walked over to her.

"I'm sorry," he said reaching though the bars. "I just lost it." he took hold of her good hand.

"Cragen told me what he said."

"I just lost it Liv, the thought of you going back to Seal View….. it made me feel sick." Olivia let loose of his hand and reached up cupping his cheek.

"And now you have to go to Rikers," she said pulling his head down to her, he rested his forehead on the bars.

"I will be okay."

Olivia nodded.

"I'm just worried about you," he told her.

"I will be okay, Kathy is still at yours with the kids and Amanda is coming home with me tonight. She is going to stay until you get out on Monday."

"That's good," he told her. "I don't want you alone….. Tucker is gonna come for my phone and car, he also wants to talk to Lizzy and Kathy."

"It's okay they both have their story straight, and Lizzy reset your phone to factory settings, no call history at all."

"That's my girl," he smiled. "I love you Liv and I'm sorry for all this."

"It's okay I forgive you, how did it feel to finally punch him, I know you have been wanting to do it for years?"

Elliot chuckled "It felt great, worth the bruised swollen knuckle, I wo…." He never got to finish as Olivia lips covered his through the bars. They kissed each other softly, not caring the Cragen, Munch and Amanda were stood watching.

They finally broke apart. "Promise me you will be careful, stay out of trouble."

"I promise you," he said kissing her again as the custody Sgt came over.

"I'm sorry Detective Benson, I need to take him now," he told her. She nodded and kissed him again quickly.

"I'm going to go. I don't want to see you in cuffs again, being dragged away from me. I will see you in court on Monday," she said turning away quickly before she cried again. Munch looked over at Elliot and smiled following Olivia out to check on her, followed by Cragen.

"Hey Rollins," said Elliot as the cuffs were put back on him. "Look after her for me," he told her as he was led out of the cell.

Next up how will Elliot fair in Rikers over the weekend. Cassidy turns back up. And Olivia, Kathy and Amanda spend time together.
