A/N: Huffington Post Live is probably one of my favourite interviews with Chris Meloni, it is from June 4, 2013, and I am adding it because in the first 10 minutes he talks about SVU and I think what he stops himself from saying around the 7 minute mark is telling, but it is also where I got some of the info in this story. I am using it as a point of reference, if you go to huffpost live and search Chris Meloni it comes up. I originally put in the link but it won't link due to the Fanfiction site, so I removed it and just put in how to find it. Sorry.
After the Symphony, the four friends went out for a nightcap. Elliott quietly said to Fin,
"You have a good nap."
Fin shot him a look as Elliott laughed,
"All I will say is, it is a good thing you don't snore or the horn section would have had competition."
Fin laughed looking over at Alex who was busy talking to Olivia. As they finished their drinks and were saying their good nights, Alex said,
"You know since the Symphony is something you and I like more than the guys do, next time we should plan an official double date and go somewhere they want to go."
Fin looked at Elliott and winked,
"Remember that Swing Club, where you and Liv played a married couple to find out who stabbed Jerry Bullard, I think that would be a cool double..." As he felt a hand squeeze his arm he said in defeat, "or maybe not."
Back at Olivia's Apartment
Olivia said as she put her handbag and keys down,
"I really enjoyed myself this evening."
As she felt him put his arms around her waist she asked,
"Did you have as much fun as you seemed to?"
She felt him nod against her hair,
"Absolutely. I was looking forward to a whole night alone with you, but I have to say it was fun double dating with Alex and Fin, even though it was not how the evening was suppose to go."
She placed her hands on his arms and lightly stroked them as she leaned into him and said seductively,
"Well you are all mine tonight and since you showed me your dream the other night, I didn't forget it is my turn to show you mine tonight."
She felt his breath get deeper and faster on her neck as he circled it with his tongue, she turned herself around to face him and said,
"Hey! This is my dream remember?"
He loosened his arms just enough to see her face completely and smiled. He said,
"I remember and believe me I am all yours..."
The high powered telescope had a clear line of vision from one building to another. The moon was shining brightly. With the way her apartment was lit, all open spaces were in clear access. Watching them kiss just added fuel to an already hot fire...
As he removed his jacket, Olivia started to unbutton his shirt, she pressed her body to his feeling for his soon to become apparent bulge. Suddenly there was bang outside the building, the cop in them both rushed to the window to see what was going on, she looked down and as he looked up. As he looked up he thought he saw the faintest and briefest of flashes, not like a gunshot flash but like a light on metal. He then looked down as Olivia said,
"Just a car backfiring."
He said as he saw the flash again,
"Good but Liv, look across at that building same floor as us last window. I have seen 2 flashes, similar to light on metal. Not a camera flash but I am not sure what it is."
She looked at it and said,
"I don't see it..."
She suddenly said,
"Wait I do see it. Last time I saw anything like that it was a telescope. Remember the kids in the Astronomy group on the rooftop who found that dead body, I remember looking through the window up to where they were and seeing a flash on the rim from the moon."
Elliott said,
"Well if that is across from us who would want to watch you."
She said going to the bedroom,
"I don't know but I think we should find out."
He said,
"Whoa where are you going?"
She said,
"I am changing clothes and going to find out who the joker across from me is watching."
She came out of the bedroom in her jeans and sweatshirt, he grabbed her and said seductively,
"I think we should give the peeper a real show."
She looked at him and said as she got out of his grip and grabbed her keys,
"The only person I will be giving a show to is you and no one else."
She opened the door as he stood there dumbfounded, she turned and seeing him she said,
"Stabler are you coming? Don't forget to lock the door."
He shook his head, took a deep breath and said,
"Fine, I am coming Benson, but once you find out this is nothing, you will owe me big time."
'Wow that bang was so loud they heard it too' the scope showed very clearly as she looked down and he looked up. From the way he looked across at the other building a normal person would think they had gone undetected. 'This is the moment I have been waiting for, I feel like Stabler has found one of my positions.' Damn they are exiting the apartment...the scope moves downward, 'Damn they are on the street looking up at me'... 'They are entering my building'...'No time to clean up I need to get out of here'...
Elliott had to run to catch her on the elevator, once on he said,
"I don't have a gun."
She said realizing she did not have hers,
"I don't either, but really we should not need one. I plan on seeing where that scope is aimed and scare the hell of person behind it."
Elliott looked at her, he found her so sexy when she went all cop but knew enough to stay out of her way. He stood back and let her do her thing, once on the street they crossed to the other building and walked in as someone was leaving, she flashed her badge and they headed up the elevator. After a couple of stops they got off on the floor they wanted and headed for the apartment, Olivia knocked on the door and waited, there was no answer. She knocked again and said,
"NYPD open up."
Still no answer she tried the door knob, it turned, she looked at Elliott, he said,
"We have come this far might as well continue..."
She opened the door wider just as Elliott heard a scraping noise, he pushed past her and ran into the apartment saying,
"NYPD does anyone need help?"
He heard a bang like someone jumping on a metal step. He headed for the bedroom and sure enough someone had taken the fire escape, he yelled to Olivia,
"The fire escape, I'm going to give chase we're going up."
She yelled back,
"I'll take the stairs."
Elliott got to the roof first, he saw the slight hooded figure run to the edge and stand looking down,
"Stop NYPD, why you running? I just want to talk to you."
Elliott slowly moved towards the lone figure, assessing his next move, when the figure turns slightly towards him and says in a muffled voice,
"Don't come any closer or I will jump."
Elliott raised his hands,
"I am unarmed and I won't come any closer. Just tell me how I can help you."
He's unarmed? Well that helps this situation, if I go after him it would be one on one and with my self defense courses I could take him or at the very least do some harm...
The figure slowly started to turn around, Elliott had no idea if it was a direct drop to the ground or if there was a landing of sorts and he was in no hurry to find out. He already had his once in a life time experience of being thrown off a roof top, he remembered when he had gone to make an apology and next thing he knew he in the hospital, mind you it wasn't a 10 storey building but it was far enough off the building to break a rib or two. He had no intention of that happening again, as he continued to slowly move forward the figure moved just enough back to dropkick Elliott to the ground, Elliott got his arms up at the last minute but just a little too late. He got up as the figure started to run away, as Elliott started to give chase the figure ran past the exit door to the other side of the roof, as Elliott set himself in high gear to catch up Olivia came running out the exit door and followed Elliott, who saw the figure get to the edge and look back for a second. Elliott took advantage of the hesitation and leaped at the figure who in that moment moved just enough for Elliott to miss his target and fast enough that Elliott could not slow down causing his momentum to take him over the edge...
As he flew over the edge he tried to grab the cement ledge but missed it as he fell he heard Olivia's screams...
Watching her scream as her partner and lover flew over the edge should have been enough to end this game, considering if he landed right he would be dead but unfortunately it was not enough. One down, one to go...
