Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Version Two, Episode Twelve, Season One
Beginnings
Kacy, Olivia, and Alex all stood in front of a bulletin board looking at a poster.
"The First Annual Policeman's Ball?" Kacy asked acting like it was the stupidest thing she ever heard of, "That sounds really stupid."
"Be sure to dress up?" Olivia said, "They are asking people who are trained to be tough, to get dressed up in a fancy gown or a tux."
"Well I guess that gives me an excuse to see you all dolled up," Alex said looking at Olivia as Kacy walked off.
"We'll see. Your on duty." Olivia said strolling off towards the squad room.
Alex stood there, wishing she wouldn't play hard to get then walked in after them. He went up behind Kacy and said, "If you guys need to go anywhere outside the precinct call me but I have to make a couple of phone calls."
"To whom?" Kacy asked
"Nobody you know." He said walking off.
Kacy watched him as he took the corner. "Where's he going?" Olivia asked sitting down with her coffee.
"He said he needs to call some people. Are you going to the ball with him?"
"We never really established." Olivia said
"Well if he asks are you going to go with him?" Kacy asked trying to get it out of Olivia.
"Probably," Olivia said
"Cool," Kacy said, "You guys are a really cute couple."
Kacy got up and went to the filing cabinet. When she turned around heading for her desk she saw Jamie. She walked over quickly and gave her a hug. "I thought you weren't getting back for awhile?" Kacy asked
"Well there was kind of a change of plans." Jamie said, "There is a welcome back party at dad's tonight."
"Okay what have you got up your sleeve?" Kacy asked
"Nothing I just thought that you guys would like to meet Ben, not undercover." Jamie said
"Ben?" Kacy asked, "As in Alfonso?"
"Yeah as in Alfonso." Jamie said, "We hit it off."
"Okay I want all the details but this is so not the place so tonight, we will talk." Kacy said.
"Alright," Jamie said as she walked over to Olivia, "You're invited too,"
She started to amble towards the door, "Oh and bring your bodyguard."
"Two parties in one week," Olivia said
"Whoa we need to make a distinction, the thing we are going to tonight is a party the thing we are going to like in two nights is a formal ball thing."
"A party and formal ball thing sorry!" Olivia said
"We so shouldn't say ball and thing in the same sentence." Kacy said
Cragen came out of his office and walked over to their desks.
"Elliot and Dani need your help there is an a situation at a beach house at the pier."
"Okay," Kacy said getting up.
Kacy was on the phone with Elliot getting the details and Olivia was driving.
"Okay so her name is Elizabeth, goes by Ellie got it." Kacy said snapping the phone shut and bracing her self with the dashboard as Olivia took a really hard turn.
"Whoa slow down there you are driving like you did in high school." Kacy said a little panicky.
"I know we got into an accident once but now, I have the sirens." Olivia said taking another turn and stopping at the sidewalk.
Kacy and Olivia got out of the car then ran over to the beach house. They heard a baby screaming and Olivia mouthed one, two, three then kicked down the door. They went in their guns cocked and went in to see a girl crying on the ground holding a baby. Olivia kneeled next to the girl who had to be no older than fifteen. "Hey, it's okay we're here to help. Is this your baby?"
Kacy looked at them, they were covered in blood.
"No it's my sister, my dad killed my mom." She said crying.
Kacy's eyes got big, and she went outside for a second to call an ambulance and back-up to find the father.
Alex stormed into Olivia's apartment and knocked on the door of Olivia's bedroom.
"Just a second," Olivia said
He went down the hall to the bedroom Kacy was staying in and knocked abruptly.
"Kacy open the door!" he said
She opened it and smiled, "Nice to see you too."
"You guys went to that beach house totally unprotected! You could have been killed."
"I can't help it you weren't there to protect us," Kacy said walking off, "Better get ready, we have a party to go to."
Kacy, Olivia, and Alex all walked into the Peyton's and Michael's house. Jessica and her boyfriend walked up to greet them.
"Hello," Kacy said.
"Hi, Mom," Jessica said
"So can we have a proper introduction?" Kacy asked smiling at Jessica.
"This is Randy Smith." Jessica introduced, "Randy this is my mom, Kacy Gallo."
"Nice to meet you fully clothed." Kacy said laughing a little.
"Yeah you too," he said blushing a little.
Kacy sauntered off to make small talk. She ended up with her sister and Ben. He had her arm around Jamie. "I am the only one here without a significant other." she mentioned.
"Oh you'll find someone soon enough Kace." Jamie reassured her.
"You are coming with me to get wine." Kacy said pulling Jamie away from Ben.
As Jamie was being dragged off she motioned to Ben that she'd be right back. Jamie laughed at her and turned the corner to the kitchen and saw Peyton and Michael kissing.
"Awe, you guys!" Jamie said
"This is getting really old!" Kacy said jokingly.
Michael looked up and smiled, "Moment breaking number two hundred and five."
Jamie looked at Kacy, "Well they are still alive and kickin' in their old age."
"Who said we were old?" Michael asked
Kacy laughed and headed for the wine on the counter. "So mom what are we having for dinner?"
"I made spaghetti, and that Italian bread you like so much."
Kacy made a little clap and hugged her mom from behind, "Loving you!"
"And she made meat-a balls." Michael said in a Italian accent.
"Oh did you do the thing with the stuff?" Jamie asked coming up behind Kacy.
"Of course I did the thing with the stuff." Peyton replied watching Kacy swig her wine.
"Kacy I don't wanna be giving you orange juice and pain reliever in the morning so lay off the sauce." Peyton said stirring the spaghetti.
Kacy walked over to Peyton and handed her wine glass to her. "Here you go." she said with a smile. Peyton took it from her and smiled back.
"Love you," she said as Kacy walked out.
Jamie shrugged and walked out too.
Later after dinner, Jamie gathered everyone in the living room.
"So," Jamie said once she had gotten everyone's attention "Ben and I rounded you guys all up to tell you that," she grabbed Ben's hand, "We are engaged!"
"Oh my gosh!" Kacy said standing up and hugging her now engaged sister.
Peyton and Michael stood up together, walked over to Jamie and also gave her a big hug. Then everyone else came by for their congratulations.
When all the fuss was over, Olivia realized that Kacy was missing. She walked up to Alex and whispered, "Have you seen Kacy?"
"Not since I saw her walk down the hall after she hugged Jamie. Maybe she is just in the bathroom."
"I'm going to go check on her," Olivia said heading for the hallway as Kacy came out.
"Are you okay?" Olivia asked her
"Yeah," Kacy said giving her a look that said duh, "I was just going to the bathroom."
She walked into the kitchen where less people were and Olivia followed. "So who would've guessed it?" Kacy said trying to fend off the silence.
Olivia nodded and then said, "Have you been drinking because I think I smell more than wine on your breath, smells like…vodka."
Kacy stared at Olivia. Jamie came around the corner, "Well have you sis?" Jamie asked
"Yeah maybe just a little." Kacy said
"Funny the only time you could've had for that was in between my announcing the proposal and now."
Peyton walked into the kitchen carrying glasses and stopped. "Hey girls," Peyton said noticing that she interrupted something.
Jamie turned back to Kacy and said, "You know your just a little attention whore. Two proposals and a marriage just wasn't enough for you."
"Well at least I am not the one making a big deal out of it."
"Girls," Peyton warned.
"I am not making a big deal out of it you are! Look who went in the bathroom and had a sulky party with some vodka!" Jamie said her tone getting more and more pissed.
"No I went in there and drank vodka because mom acts like I do it all the time!" Kacy said letting everyone see that she was clearly under the influence.
Peyton's eyes got a look of shock in them and her mouth dropped open with a little gasp. "Kacy."
"You are a recovering alcoholic!" Jamie said putting her last word in.
Now it was Olivia's turned to be shocked as mouth dropped open and she gasped. Peyton pinched the bridge of her nose. "Jamie," she said shaking her head.
Alex came up behind Olivia, "What is going on in here?"
"The attention whore is hogging the spotlight once again." Jamie said walking out.
Olivia looked from Kacy to the ground and then walked out as Alex followed her out. Alex followed her out to the foyer, "Olivia, please don't go."
"I can't stay. You should think about getting me a separate body guard." she said before she made her way to the door.
Alex sighed and leaned up against the wall and muttered, "Damnit!"
Kacy stood there trying to ignore her fathers staring. She looked up, "I'm sorry." and with that she headed for the guest room.
Peyton looked at Michael, "Quite an eventful evening eh?"
Alex stopped Kacy on her way into the guest room. "What the hell?" he said as he grabbed her shoulder.
"Alex, just go get Olivia. Assign me another protective detail agent. Just don't lose what you have with her."
He looked at her with eyes full of question then turned in the direction of the front door. He stopped at the step into the foyer, "Thanks."
"I didn't do it for you," Kacy said very straight forwardly.
Munch walked into the squad room the next morning and sat down at his desk. That was when he discovered that Kacy and Olivia were completely silent. Which was highly unusual for them in the morning. Then Elliot walked in and noticed the same thing and made his way to discuss it with Munch.
"Who died?" Elliot asked
"I don't know." Munch replied staring at them working away. "I am trying to see who will break the silence first."
Kacy looked up, "Don't you guys have work to do?"
Elliot smiled and so did Munch, "I knew it was going to be her."
Dani walked into the squad room and realized that Munch and Elliot were standing together looking at Olivia and Kacy. She approached them with a smug grin on her face. "You two look like two teenagers trying to get the popular girls to talk to you."
Munch looked at her, "No, we are two teenagers wondering why the aren't talking to each other."
Dani looked at them, "You're right for once neither of them are talking and they are both in the room."
Olivia glanced up, "I can hear you."
The mob of spectator slowly went to their desks.
Olivia and Kacy sat in the car on a stake-out. They hadn't said anything to each other since the night before. Finally, Kacy couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want you to have two loved ones who were an alcoholic." she spat out trying to make sure Olivia didn't cut her off.
"Kacy this is like the third time you have done this to me. How many secrets do you have."
"That wasn't a secret and in my defense you can't know everything about one person it's impossible."
"Well things like being an alcoholic, having a twin sister, having a daughter, are things that you tell your best friend."
"I am really sorry."
"We really need to stop getting in stupid fights."
"Yeah it's starting to wear off on Jamie." Kacy said, "I need to stop keeping things from you."
"Yeah that is starting to wear off on Jessica," Olivia joked.
Kacy looked at Olivia and smiled, "Well then I guess I should tell you about the really hot guy that asked for my number in Starbucks this morning."
