"I fucked up." Elliot said and stormed off.

"No, he didn't" Liv said and followed behind him finding him standing in the kitchen of the safe house. She placed a hand on his shoulder as she stood behind him. "El don't be an ass. We did our jobs."

"My job is to have your six." El said throwing her words back at her. "If I'd done that you wouldn't have been attacked." Slowly he turned and looked at her his angst showing in every muscle of his face.

"El." Liv whispered. "I'm ok and in the long run this might be a good thing for the case."

"I don't care about the case right now."

"I know. But Cragen, Munch and Fin are feet away as well as who knows how many from the assorted alphabet soup of the government and we have to focus there now." Liv emphasized the word we as she touched his arm "We will have time to talk about the rest of this tonight."

Elliot felt his breathing settle back to normal as he listened to her steady but forceful order. "How do you do that?" he asked softly.

Liv smiled and said, "I'll tell you tonight." And then walked away knowing Elliot would follow her.

Walking back through to the main room where Cragen was sitting with the rest of the team. Liv quickly explained about what happened with Henry down playing the biting and emphasizing that she may have gotten them a sit down with the board.

El picked up with Arabella explaining about Room's pricing and how all members needed to bring something of value to the table. Since he was in import/export they were looking to use his business to help with some of their import/export needs.

"What was the text about?" Cragen asked

"What text?" El asked looking confused.

Liv turned and looked at the short woman with chin length brown hair in the ATF jacket and said, "They had a closet in the woman's changing room. It had guns and boxes labeled hazardous materials."

Kelly nodded and picked up her walkie and spoke quietly into it. "Any idea how much?"

"Too much." Liv said

Kelly nodded and walked away from the group.

After another few hours of going over details and pulling apart information Liv and Elliot were finally sent off to sleep. Liv was woken at dawn by Cragen walking into her room. "Liv. I know you said they looked you over at the club but, "

Cutting him off Liv said, "I'm surprised it wasn't done right away."

Liv followed Cragen out to a back room where a Doctor and Nurse she hadn't met before were waiting. "Let me guess. You want blood?"

"'Fraid so." Said the nurse softly as she sat down across from Liv and quickly drew some blood. "You're lucky you've got good veins."

"Thanks." Liv said fighting to keep the sarcasm out of her voice but failing.

"Can I take a look at your wound?" the Doctor asked.

Liv nodded and noticed that Cragen had quietly left and shut the door. She pulled off her shirt and waited while they poked and prodded at her bite mark. Some samples were taken but they quickly redressed it and the Doctor said, "Whoever did this is a professional and very competent."

"Well at least there's that."

"We're using a rapid HIV test so you'll get the results back in 48 hours max." the nurse said smiling hopefully.

Liv nodded and filled out the form she had handed her. "Can you do me a favor and wait to give me the results for everything all at once."

"Of course. I wouldn't want 4 or 5 different calls either. Do you want help getting back upstairs?" the nurse asked.

"No, I'm tired but fine." Liv turned to leave but paused, turned back, "Thank you."

Opening the door, she found a nervous looking Cragen waiting for her. "You ok?"

"I'm fine. How are you?" Liv asked

"You and Stabler are going to kill me with this case. You do realize that."

Liv smiled, "Sorry."

Don smiled back and gave Liv a quick hug. "Go on and get some sleep. Your rendezvous is at 11 in the city."

"Thanks." Liv said and headed up the stairs. When she got to her room she opened up the door and didn't even bother turning on the light. She just padded quietly over to the bed and laid down.

"You ok?"

"Geez Elliot." Liv said quietly as she felt his hand touch her arm and slowly pull her to him. "We're going to get found out." She whispered in the dark

"I couldn't sleep without you."

"Bull."

"I heard you and Cragen go downstairs and I …" Elliot stopped his hand rubbing her arm as he looked for the words.

"I'm glad you're here." Liv admitted as she shifted slightly so her head was on his chest and his arms were wrapped around her. "Where's your shirt?" Liv said as his sparse chest hairs tickled her cheek

"You know I never sleep in a shirt." El teased and pulled her closer while simultaneously puffing out his chest, causing her to bite her tongue in order not to giggle.

"You're lucky I love you."

"Yeah. I am."
