Chapter 10
----------------
Around 7 PM, Ross came into the work room. "Call it a night everyone. We'll pick up tomorrow with fresh eyes."
Most everyone nodded. Fin, Munch, Logan, Wheeler, and Stabler got up to leave. As Elliot was going out the door he realized that Olivia wasn't with him. "You coming Liv?"
"Yeah, I want to finish this page first. Wait for me?" She asked.
"I"ll be by the elevator's." Elliot said.
Goren and Eames were huddled over a couple of folders when Olivia stood. "Are you two coming?"
Goren looked up. "You can go ahead. We normally work late."
"Are you sure? I don't care to stay." Olivia said.
"Go ahead. We won't be too much longer." Alex replied.
"Okay. Goodnight." Olivia said walking out towards the elevator's.

"Ready?" Elliot asked his partner.
"Yes. Let's go. It's been a long day." Olivia said.
After getting in the vehicle, Olivia looked over at Elliot and asked, "So, how did you like working with Goren?"
"Let's put it this way. I'll never take you for granted again. I wanted to kill him. He's so ... strange. He kept touching everything and he asked the strangest questions. During the visit to her apartment he double checked me and kept ordering CSU around. He did, however, let me do the interviews." Elliot said venting.
"That was nice of him." Olivia smirked.
Elliot shot a glare at his partner. "That wasn't even the worst of it. At her parents house, he let me do the talking while he wandered around and poked at everything. Every once in a while he would speak up and ask a question. Then at the four-seven, I wanted to deck him. He asked the most obscure questions, and the questions he asked her partner ... yeah. How in the hell does Eames put up with him?"
"She told me that before she came along, he went through partners every 5 or 6 months." Olivia commented.
"I can see why. So why does she stay?" Elliot asked his curiosity getting to the better of him.
Olivia didn't respond right away. She thought back to how she saw the two detectives act towards each other. She saw the looks they gave each other when they thought no one was looking. She's stared at her partner enough to know that look. The look that said it was more that just admiration towards her partner. "A lot of reasons I'm sure." She finally replied.
Elliot dropped Olivia off at her house and told her he would see her in the morning.
