Elliot walked over and sat down on the coffee table in front of Liv. He leaned forward and placed his hands on her knees. "Hey, this is a good thing."

Liv nodded and forgetting for a minute how many people were around she let her hand slid over his. She heard Cragen clear his throat behind her and let her hand fall to the sofa, trying hard not to allow her cheeks to redden.

"Ok people!" Cragen said stepping to the side of Liv and Elliot screening them slightly from the others. "We've got 2 days. Alert every agency to get their people and their warrants in place. We're not going to get another shot at this." Turning he looked at Liv and said, "We're going to need to get you wired up before you go in there. But given this groups connections I'm wondering if we're going to need better equipment than what NYPD has. Any thoughts?"

Elliot stood and smiled slightly, "I think I might know a person."

"Damn sounds like he's a mob boss now." Fin said laughing.

"Don't get him started." Liv teased looking over at Munch with a smile.

"Alright, Elliot you and Munch go get equipment. If the Hodden phone rings," Cragen paused

"I'll just tell them that after what happened to my wife I felt the need for some extra protection."

"I think that's where I come in." Fin said and walked over next to Liv puffed out his chest a little and stood as tall and straight as he could. Between his size and overall demeanor he did make an imposing sight if you didn't know the man behind the shades.

Liv laughed, "Liam, my very own bodyguard. You shouldn't have."

"What else do you get the woman who has everything?" Elliot teased right back and everyone laughed.

The next two days past in a flurry of activity with people coming and going, phones ringing and emails being sent and received. Finally it was the morning of the meeting with Arabella and Liv was sitting on the edge of the bed going over the plan in her head one more time.

The door opened and Elliot walked in with a coffee. "I figured you would need this today."

"Thanks." Liv said as she held the warm mug and breathed in the heady aroma. "When does your contact arrive?"

"She's already here." Elliot admitted. "I was coming to see if you'd figured out what you were going to wear."

Liv nodded and walked to the closet and pulled out a simple teal blue dress with loose cap sleeves. As requested it had a V neck and the flowy skirt stopped about mid-calf. She also pulled out a pair of flesh toned heels to wear with it. Holding it up in front of her she turned to Elliot and asked, "What do you think?"

"Meet's all the requests. Simple, solid color, good movement, not tight." El said counting the list of from memory.

Liv shook her head at her partner and handed the dress over. "Here. Bring this out. I'm taking a shower." Before walking into the bathroom and locking the door.

Confused by the change in Liv's attitude Elliot walked out to the Dining Room where a friend from the Marines was setting up what looked like a small store. "Hey, Anna." He said as he came in.

"Hey." She said not really looking up. "Ok put the dress on the dummy. And shoes on the table."

Elliot did what he was told and then watched fascinated as Anna, a former helicopter pilot who'd pulled him out of a few scrapes, very carefully undid and redid stitches. Cut miniscule holes in the bottom hem of Liv's dress and the thread a camera in and using a remote articulated the angle so they got a clear view of the room including Elliot's face on the TV in the Living Room. Anna then pulled together some jewelry and after tapping or pulling on each piece held it up to the dress and decided if it matched, until she found a set she liked, each piece being a separate microphone. The last thing Anna did was to place a tiny homing beacon into the toe of Liv's shoes, Anna showed how they would only be activated if she tapped her toe directly down otherwise it stayed off and undetectable.

Next Anna did a similar job with Elliot's suit rigging the back of his collar with a camera as well as his belt buckle. His shoes got the same treatment as Liv's and he had a tie clip that was a microphone.

In just over an hour, Anna sat back and said, "Your wired up my friend."

Elliot looking amazed hugged her and said, "You're really going to show all of your stuff one day."

"No chance. That's how I stay in business." The two laughed as Elliot walked her to the door and then made a show of thanking her for bringing by some jewelry for his wife.
