Chapter 21
The next morning everyone walked into the squad room relaxed, smiling and laughing. Munch had beat everyone there and already had the coffee made. Mary started to head over to the coffee pot when she was stopped by Stabler.
"I promise you, if you want to live don't drink that. Munch made it so you will probably need a knife and fork to drink it."
Mary shook her head and turned back toward Olivia's desk. "So what are the plans for today?"
"We are going to wait until Rizzoli calls and tells us to come over to question langan more. Other than that we will catch up on paperwork and do all needed reports from these cases."
"good. Is there a place I can work on my reports?" Mary asked looking around the room, all the desks were taken.
"Tell you what. You can take my desk and I can work from the interview room." Stabler said standing and gathering all his paperwork.
Mary placed a hand on his shoulder. "No man your squad your desk. I will work from the interview room." She spun on her heels and walked into the interview room before he could stop her.
Stabler looked over at Benson and shrugged his shoulders. "You would think she would want to be working across from you."
"I'm sure she does but like she said your squad your desk. She doesn't say it if she doesn't mean it. If I know her she doesn't want you to feel like shes stepping in and taking over."
"Any advice you can give me."
"Go talk to her. Be honest."
"okay" Stabler said as he started walking in the direction that Mary did.
"Oh Stabler, one more thing" Olivia said stopping him in his tracks
He turned around "Yes"
"I love her. Try to play nice."
"Yes ma'am."
