Chapter 27

"You wanted to see us?" Officer Russo asked as he and his partner, Officer Lewandowski, walked into the bullpen toward Olivia's desk.

"Wanted to tell you in person that Jesse Müller copped to everything," she smiled at the two patrol officers. Olivia handed them the file to take a look at.

"Seriously?" Tanya was surprised as she handed it back to the detective.

"Yup, seems that he wants a chance at parole. Though he doesn't know that when he finally comes up for said parole, the DA's office will oppose it," Olivia said.

"So how long will he get?" Kyle wanted to know.

"Twenty-five to life plus whatever the Feds give him for the drugs," the detective explained.

"Seems light for two murders and conspiracy but considering what you have, it's good to be lucky sometimes," Tanya said.

"I'll take lucky over missing our opportunity," Olivia nodded.

"Totally," Kyle nodded as well. Tanya went into her pocket and pulled out a cough drop. She'd been having an itch in her throat the last couple of days and she was trying to stave off a full blown illness.

"So do you need anything else from us?" Kyle wanted to know. Olivia was about to start questioning the two of them for Tucker when Tanya grabbed Kyle's arm. He immediately turned and saw she was having trouble breathing, but there was something else in the look on her face that Olivia couldn't place. She quickly helped get the officer into a chair and her partner barked out to anyone who was listening,

"Call for a bus!" Russo went into his belt and grabbed an epi pen out of it. He stabbed it into Tanya's thigh and it seemed to be helping but she was still turning blue, the cough drop, lodged in her throat. Olivia watched in awe as Kyle hauled his partner out of the chair and started to do the Heimlich maneuver. The cough drop went flying and Tanya suddenly gasped for air.

"Bag that cough drop!" Again Russo was barking orders like he was in charge but no one argued with him. Kenny quickly grabbed an evidence bag and scooped up the sticky drop from the floor. Olivia helped Kyle get Tanya onto the floor and elevated her feet onto the chair. She was breathing on her own but she was obviously not one hundred percent.

"The bus in en-route. They'll be here any minute," Munch announced. By now, Elliot and the Captain had exited Cragen's office. Fin was on his way back from the bathroom and his eyes were wide at the scene in front of him.

"What the hell just happened?" Cragen wanted to know.

"Someone just tried to kill my partner," Kyle said, he was on the edge of losing the cool he managed to keep so far.

"She choked on a cough drop," Munch thought he was reaching.

"No. She's allergic to peanuts. I was trained on what to do and she and I have a tell, in case she can't talk. Someone spiked her cough drops," Kyle insisted as he lowered himself to the floor and took Tanya's hand in his.

"Who would do that?" Elliot asked as he saw Olivia pick up her phone and place a call.

"I don't know but I do know she's only allergic to peanuts and she had those cough drops yesterday and they were fine," Kyle said, looking up at the detective. Elliot frowned. If Tanya was part of making those tickets disappear, she would not try to hurt herself in front of other cops. Heck, he wasn't even sure it was something worth hurting herself, which meant that Russo had a point. There was something rotten at the one oh five.
