A/N: Want to wish everyone a very happy SPRING TIME.
Cragen was coming out of his office, when Jefferies caught him. She wanted to find out how Elliot and Olivia got in the unit, without directly giving away that she had screwed with the files.
"Captain, I have some information on a case that me and munch are working, and I need to speak to you about it, privately." Jefferies said, holding her breathe in lightly, hoping he wouldn't notice her nervous twitching.
"Sure, Jefferies, but after I speak with Benson and Stabler, about the case they are working on." Cragen said, smirking, he saw the nervousness in her movements, but he wasn't going to let on, he wasn't stupid.
After getting the all clear from Cragen, Jefferies went over to her desk, and mentally prepared herself, so she didn't slip up and let him know, that it was her that tried to keep Olivia and Elliot from getting into the unit. What she didn't know though, was that Cragen had found out it was her, during graduation, he just need her to make a mistake and slip when they spoke. And he knew just what he was going to do.
Once he had talked with Olivia and Elliot about their rape case, and got every single detail that Lyssia have giving them, he told them to put the information in the huge computer data base, and see what hits they got.
Soon as Elliot typed in the details they had. It came up with two identifications, both men only lived a block from each other. But the very distinguishing description that she had given them of the tattoo, pretty much gave them all they need, once they could pull of the full profile pictures from their prison photos.
Printing the information out. They headed out and went to the address, and after a small chase, they got the perp and took him back for questioning. Six hours later, they had a full confession from him, and Olivia called Lyssia to come in for a line to identify him. The young lady arrived about 40 minutes later, and was able to ID him quickly.
Arraignment was set up for the perp, by the ADA Alex Cabot. Whom came in and met the newest rookies to the unit, and once Elliot and Olivia had gotten to met and talk to Alex, things were put in place, to put the perp in jail.
As they were all coming out of the interrogation room. They noticed that Jefferies was walking into Cragen's office. They both looked at each other and wondered what was up. Because knowing how nosey she was, it couldn't be very good. All they could hope for, is that she wouldn't make up any lies about them, being she had an eye on them like a hawk, before they had graduated, so she knew how close they were.
Cragen however, knew Jefferies was up to something. And once he could make her slip up, he had her. Because he still had the security tape. The only problem was, the light in the classrooms weren't overly bright, but he could still tell it was her. So all he had to do was be very subtle about it, and then bam, he had her and could get her out of his unit, because he hadn't trusted her, ever.
Squirming in the chair once she sat down. She starred at Cragen for a moment, then said." Captain, I just wanted to warn you, about Benson and Stabler. They can't be trusted."
Tipping his head slightly to his right, he said."Oh, why's that, Jefferies?". Keeping a straight face and a stern demeanor, he leaned back in his chair, and awaited her answer.
Keeping her face set like stone and not twitching this time, she said."Well, Captain, I caught them cheating on their exams and stuff back when we were all in the academy, and also fixing each other's time sheets as well, and stuff like that."
Smirking again, he knew he almost had her, just had to push the right button now. He looked at her, and said."Really, and just how would you have known they cheated on anything?"
Swallowing hard a little bit now, and starting to sweat a little bit, she said."Because, I know Elliot's wife, Kathy, and she told me all about him." She knew what Kathy had told her about the baby, but Cragen didn't know Kathy, so she was hoping he'd fall for it. He wasn't.
"Ok, Jefferies, but let me ask you this, if Elliot and Olivia are such cheater's, then can you explain to me, how you aced the tests, when you barely passed the course?" Cragen said, knowing that she was gonna have a very hard time, answering this honestly.
Jefferies knew she was stuck now. But she would have to come up with something to say, because her plan to get them kicked out of the unit had fell through, since Cragen had the tape, and fixed the files back with their backgrounds.
What was she going to do now? She didn't know, but she knew it was going to have to be bullet proof. So she decided then and there, it was time to call Kathy and have a chat.
