"We got a hit on the fingerprints left on the knife." Cragen walked out of his office, announcing the recently found evidence. He scanned the room searching for Elliot and Olivia. "Where is Benson and Stabler?" He asked Fin and Munch.
"I think they're still in the cribs." Fin told his Captain and Cragen began walking towards the cribs. "Captain what are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing? We just got a suspect so I'm going to get the detectives." He stated.
"Don't worry Captain, I'll go get them." Fin stood up.
"Well hurry up." Cragen said watching Fin run to the cribs.
Fin walked in to see Elliot and Olivia kissing near the cot in the back of the room. He felt a pang of jealousy as he watched Elliot kiss her, but shook his head, realizing it would never happen. "Ahem." He cleared his throat, making the two detectives spring apart. He laughed at their shocked faces. "You better be glad i wasn't Cragen. You know he was about to come in here but being the nicest person in the world, i volunteered to come get you guys so that you wouldn't lose your jobs for screwing each other in the cribs." Fin said with a huge grin on his face.
"We weren't screwing each other." Olivia mumbled.
"What do you want Fin?" Elliot asked, his arm still wrapped around Olivia's waist.
"Well we got a hit on the fingerprints from the knife. Cragen wants you two down there." Olivia and Elliot nodded and walked towards the door. "Elliot, a word." Olivia left the room and Elliot stayed behind. "Don't hurt her. If you believe that you want to start a relationship with her, then i'm not the one to interfere but divorce Kathy. Olivia doesn't deserve that."
Elliot nodded. "I promise i will never hurt her and I'm having Kathy sign the divorce papers tonight. I'll meet with my lawyer and get them processed first thing tomorrow."
"Good." Fin said then left the room with Elliot following behind.
"Well now that everyone is here, as i was saying we got a hit on the fingerprints." Cragen said. "Suspect's name is Eric Carlson. Benson and Stabler go pick him up." They nodded, grabbed the sticky note from his hands and left.
In the car, as they drove, both detectives were quiet. Finally Elliot decided to break the silence. "Liv what's wrong?"
"We can't do that again."
"Do what again?"
"Kiss at work. What if Cragen walked in on us instead of Fin? Fin's right, we'd both be out of a job El."
"So what are you saying?"
"From now on, we can't kiss, touch, hug or anything like that at work." She told him as he stopped at a red light.
"But we can outside of work right?" He smiled, leaning over to kiss her but she rejected.
"Not until you divorce your wife."
"What?"
"El I love you. I really do, but you're still married. And as right as it may feel, it's wrong. I'm sorry but i feel like i'm having an affair with you and i don't want to be the other woman."
"Baby, you're not. I love you too Liv, and this is right. Two people who love each other should be together."
"You're right, but not until one of those people divorces his wife."
"I am Liv. All she has to do is sign the papers." Elliot told her.
"Well until she does, i don't want to be anymore than partners and friends with you Elliot."
"Liv, please baby."
She shook her head as a tear fell from her eye. "The light's green El."
He sighed and drove off. They pulled up outside of Carlson's home and got out. They walked to the door and knocked. "NYPD! Carlson open up!" Elliot shouted.
The two detectives heard shuffling inside and the sound of glass breaking. Elliot stepped back then kicked the door in. They said Eric Carlson climbing out the back window. "I'll go around El." Olivia told him and began running towards the back of the house as Elliot went the other way. They trapped him and Elliot punched him, causing him to fall to the ground. Olivia read him his rights as Elliot cuffed him.
They walked back in the bullpen with Carlson. "Nice job detectives." Cragen greeted them. "Hand him over to Munch and Fin and you two can start on your reports. The detectives nodded and began working.
It was nearing one o'clock in the morning when Olivia decided to go home. As she was getting her things from her locker, Elliot entered the room. "You want me to take you home Liv?" Elliot asked.
"No, i can make it home by myself. Besides don't you need to have a talk with your wife?" She asked.
"Yeah you're right. She's probably asleep though, so i can talk to her in the morning." Elliot said and she nodded. "I still would feel comfortable if i took you home. I don't even have to come up, i just want to make sure you get there okay." She finally agreed and Elliot took her home.
As he pulled up to her apartment, Olivia thanked him. "Liv, wait. Blink your lights so that i know you got in okay." She nodded. "Goodnight Liv."
"Goodnight El."
