"Are you sure you want to do this?" Olivia asked as she took the silver bracelets off of her belt.
"I can't come in here without showing him I'm on his side. This is the only way I know how to show you're not doing my any favors. I just hope you have a good grip." Gemma said as she adjusted her arms with the handcuffs around her wrist.
Olivia frowned, her eyebrows pushing together. "Why?"
Gemma let her hands drop in front of her, grimacing when the metal cut into her wrist the slightest. "In order to make this convincing, I'm going to fight like hell before you put me in that cage with him. I'm not supposed to know he's here." She looked down the long hallway towards the bullpen. "Okay, take me to him."
"I still don't know if I like this." Olivia said before taking Gemma's arm into her hand, preparing for anything that may come from this girl's outburst at seeing her boyfriend.
Gemma huffed out a breath. "You're not the only one."
"What the hell?!" Gemma shouted as Olivia and Fin held her down enough to keep her from kicking her legs off the ground. She was right. There was a lot of fight in her. "You haven't even told me why I'm here." She grunted when they pushed her inside of the cage with Danny watching the entire thing.
"Hey, watch what you're doing!" Danny barked at Fin and Olivia as they locked the two inside. He pointed at Gemma's wrists. "Uncuff her."
Fin shook his head. "The last thing we need is that girl to be back at us with fists. She keeps the cuffs on until she calms down." He watched as Danny put an arm around Gemma. The truth was that Gemma knew she would strangle Danny if she was free to get her hands around his throat. "We'll come back to talk to you later." He said before he and Olivia stepped out of the room, but remained around the corner in case anything happened.
"Are you okay?" Danny asked Gemma cupping her face in his hands.
Gemma exhaled sharply as she shook her head. "No, I'm not. I don't know why I'm here. Why are you here? What's going on, Danny?"
Danny shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know why we're here. I already saw Dale here. So, there might be something he's doing that he's trying to put on us."
"Why would he do that? He's one of your best friends." Gemma asked furrowing her eyebrows. "Confessing to a crime to frame us wouldn't make any sense for him."
"You never know. Dale has always been a weak link in any type of secret." Danny admitted as he moved her hair away from her face.
Gemma looked up at him. "You sound like you know what's going on." She saw a flash of anger run through his dark eyes before he quickly covered it with confusion. He was trying to play her again. "Do you know what's going on?"
Danny took a step back. "Why would you think that? It sounds like you're the one who knows something."
"All I know is that I was just pulled out of our apartment and handcuffed to be brought down here. They said that you were in a lot of trouble and would be going to prison for a long time. They also said I would be going to prison for helping you." Gemma said lying through her teeth. She gasped when she saw Danny's anger come through without any barriers.
Danny nearly yelled. "What?! They think that you helped me with a crime." He said picking his words carefully even though he was obviously furious. "That's ridiculous. I promise, baby. Whatever this is, I will make sure that you won't get hurt no matter what it takes."
Gemma was pulled to his chest in an instant, his hands caressing her head and back in a way to comfort her. He kissed the crown of her head before taking in a deep breath. "What are we going to do?" She asked into the heat of his chest.
Danny tightened his arms around her. "I'll figure it out. For now, let me take care of things. We'll get out of this together." He tilted her head up so that he could see her face. "I thought I told you to meet up with Dale earlier."
"I did. I barely sat down before he told me to run away. He said that he was in trouble, and I would be too if I stayed. I tried to help him, but he told me to go. I ran away before Dale was grabbed by someone. I guess if he's here that means it was the police." Gemma sighed about to cross her arms over her chest, but finding them still trapped together in front of her, between her and Danny. "What do you think he did to get in trouble?"
"Dale has always been a bit of a crook for money. Who knows what he would've done if it meant getting enough money to make him happy." Danny breathed before kissing Gemma's forehead. "I wish they would've taken these cuffs off. If they weren't cops, I would've slugged them for pushing you in here like that. Nobody messes with my girl. I was worried about you."
Gemma smiled slightly. "You know me. I've always been a little rough around the edges."
Danny grinned down at her. "That's the understatement of the century." He dropped his forehead to hers. "I called your parents."
"My parents?" Gemma questioned wide eyed. "Why did you do that?"
"Because, they have a lawyer, and they would do anything to help us." Danny explained. "They said that they would get on the first plane they could to get over here. They'll be here before we can even wake up tomorrow morning."
Olivia listened with a heavy heart on the other side of the wall. She could feel the anxiety already start to build in her stomach as Fin stood next to her oblivious to the world she was about to unleash from her past. When her phone started buzzing in her pocket, she ignored, but in continued to buzz. She took it out of her pocket and saw Elliot's name on her screen, the gray person with a question mark over the face a reminder of what their current situation was.
Fin just happened to see the screen. "Elliot? As in Elliot Stabler?"
Olivia nodded her head. "Yeah, I finally called Kathy and got his number."
"Well, are you going to answer it?" Fin asked staring at the third missed call from him, the next already coming in.
Olivia took a deep breath, exhaling slowly before giving a slight shake of her head. "Not right now."
