Forty five minutes later Olivia Benson, Elliot Stabler, Odafina Tutola, and John Munch was all suiting up preparing to serve the warrant when Casey walked in the bull pen.
"I got it guys." Casey almost shouted waving the piece of paper in the air.
"Thanks" Stabler said walking to her and taking it from her and turning on his heels "Everyone ready?"
"Let's do this" Fin answered checking his weapon and re-holstering it.
"I'll call you and let you know how it turns out." Olivia shouted over her shoulder to Casey as she followed the other three out the door.
"I don't what you're talking about but I'm coming with you guys" Casey informed her trying to catch up.
Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned to face Casey "The hell you are. Now stay here I will let you know what happens."
"Olivia I always come with you when you serve search warrants."
"You ain't now. So go get comfortable at my desk."
"No I am coming with you." Casey said pushing past her to leave.
Olivia grabbed Casey's wrists and pulled her back to her "THE HELL YOU ARE." She screamed at her.
Casey jumped at the loudness of Olivia's voice. There was something in her eyes that scared her. "Liv" She whispered scared to say anything else.
"Don't Liv me" Olivia said lowering her voice "baby you are still recovering from your attack. You are supposed to be off for the week. Now please sit at my desk."
"I'm not going to let someone attacking me scare me off from doing my job."
"Humor me this time please."
"Casey you can wait with me in my office and we can go over the Duvall case." Captain Cragen announced from behind them.
We will finish this argument tonight when you get home." Casey told her before storming into the captain's office and slamming the door.
"Thanks Captain"
"You're welcome. Now get going."
Olivia ran to catch up with the guys. Stabler was sitting in their car waiting for her. She ran and jumped in the front seat.
"I'm ready let's get this bastard"
Stabler threw the car into drive and gunned it. The car lurched forward squalling tires. He glanced at his partner and could tell something was bothering her.
"liv whatever is eating you get rid of it before we serve this warrant."
"Casey was going to come."
"What's wrong with that? She has been at all the other search warrants we have served. What makes this any different?"
"Because." Olivia said staring out the window watching the buildings pass with a blur
"Because why? Because you two are dating now?"
"Yes. No. I don't know I just have a feeling"
"If it's because you two are dating get over it. You can't ask her to stop what she is doing no more than she can ask you."
"I know that Elliot. I'm not stupid and I would never ask her to give up her job. I just…" Olivia exhaled loudly "I don't know I have a feeling about this. Let's be extra careful ok."
"Always" Stabler answered knowing that the same feeling had been bothering him.
In less than twenty minutes they pulled up on the corner of Rocking Blue lane and Mercer Parkway and parked. They could see the house from where they sat. Everyone gathered around the front of Stabler's and Benson's car.
"Ok Fin and Munch go around the back. " Stabler said "We will knock and serve the warrant."
Everyone nodded and took off to their positions.
Stabler and Benson stood on either side of door. "ready" Stabler mouthed to Benson. She nodded yes placing her hand on her gun just in case. Stabler knocked on the front door "NYPD WE HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT."
They waited a few seconds and he knocked a second time again announcing that they had a search warrant. Stabler glanced over at Benson and she nodded yes to his unspoken question of do you want to kick the door in.
He positioned himself in front of the door and drew his weapon. In on swift kick he kicked the door hard near the locking mechanism. The door splintered and swung open just as he was about to enter two gun shots rang out and stabler fell to the ground. Benson peaked around the left side of the opening and saw Johnson turning to run out the back. She jumped out and shouted "STOP POLICE".
Just as he turned to fire on her she discharged two rounds quickly. Johnson stumbled backwards and fell. Fin and Munch came running through the kitchen with their weapons trained on Johnson. Munch kicked Johnson's gun from his reach as Fin checked him for a pulse. He looked up at Munch and shook his head no.
Olivia grabbed her radio "4015 to central we need a bus to 4955 Rocking Blue Lane. Officer down. I repeat a bus to 4955 Rocking Blue Lane we have an officer down." Olivia dropped to her knees and applied pressure to Stablers right shoulder. "You had to go get shot didn't you?"
Stabler laughed "Of course. If I let you Casey would kill me."
"What the hell do you think Kathy is going to do to me."
"Did Munch and Fin catch him?"
"No need I dropped him in the kitchen."
"Had to be the hero huh?"
"Of course." Olivia said moving out of the way so the paramedics that had just arrived could work on him.
"How is he?" Olivia asked nodding toward Johnson
"Dead." Fin answered reaching for his phone "I'll call the captain and let him know to meet us at mercy."
"Thanks. I'm gonna follow the ambulance When IA shows up tell them to come there or wait for me at the station. I'm not leaving my partner."
Olivia faintly heard their answer as she took off running for the car grabbing her cell to call Kathy.
