"Benson." Olivia answered into her phone as she capped the orange juice and put it back in the fridge. She glanced out into the living room, seeing Noah completely engrossed with the game Gemma was playing on her phone. Hearing her bedroom door closed, she picked up the glass of juice she had just filled and held it out, letting it go once Elliot rounded the corner and took the glass from her.

There was a moment of silence before the caller cleared her throat. "Are you bringing Gemma in today?"

Olivia took a beat of silence of her own, biting her bottom lip and swallowing the urge to say something she would regret later. "Yes, she is our key to this case, Rollins. I plan on bringing her in. Why? Has something come up?"

"We have a new lead." Amanda stated. She didn't let Olivia get a word in before she continued to speak. "It would be better to talk about it here. I'll see you in a bit." With that, she hung up the phone, leaving silence, once again, blaring through Olivia's phone.

Olivia pulled the phone away from her ear to confirm with her eyes that the call had ended, not really believing that Amanda would be that abrupt. She scoffed and shook her head as she grabbed her coffee. "Unbelievable." She muttered.

Elliot's ears perked hearing the tone in her voice. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with the case?"

"No, it's Amanda. Since she found out about Gemma, she's been acting really. . .well, she's been treating me like I'm a horrible person for not telling her." Olivia sighed, tossing her phone onto the counter. "Fin isn't happy with me either about that."

Elliot shrugged. "It wasn't their business to know."

"That's what I said." Olivia stated, glad that she and Elliot were on the same page about it. "I mean, yes, Amanda and Fin are my friends. They're great friends. But, I didn't tell anybody about Gemma. It wasn't just them. We never told your mother, or my mother, or Kathy."

"Which reminds me, we are meeting with her and my mother this weekend to break the news to them." Elliot informed her, glancing down at his phone to confirm he made the plans. "Just what I always wanted to do on my weekend." He glanced at Olivia, seeing her attention completely geared towards him, but her eyes were dull. He leaned forward, kissing her temple. "They'll come around, Liv. Eventually, they will see your side of things."

Olivia gave him a small smile. "Thanks."

Olivia glanced down at her phone as she walked into the squad room. Gemma was a few footsteps behind her when they both heard Amanda. "Gemma Benson, you are under arrest for Obstruction of Justice."

"What?" Gemma asked, yelling at Amanda as her hands were cuffed behind her back.

Olivia whipped around and held up her hand, trying to stop Amanda. "Rollins, what are you doing? She is helping us with our case!"

Amanda tightened the second cuff and straightened Gemma into a standing position. "She is our entire case, Liv. She's been lying since day one."

"What are you talking about?" Olivia asked, her eyebrows furrowing.

Fin stepped up from behind her, holding the case file in his hand. "Our boy Dale was waiting for a guy named Eric, dirty blonde hair, neck tattoo. When Gemma showed up to meet him and she completely turned on him, we didn't question it when she called and invited a Danny with black hair to come down and talk about the case." He held out the wire transcript from the meet Dale had with Gemma under surveillance. "We couldn't get evidence on Danny because there wasn't any. We talked to the wrong guy."

"She's a con worker." Amanda stated. "She might not even be your daughter."

Olivia's eyes widened as she glared at Amanda. "She's my girl. Don't you worry about that." She looked at Gemma with tears in her eyes. "Is this all true, Gemma?"

Gemma yelped when Amanda twisted her arm, earning another glare from Olivia. "I can explain."

"Good, you're going to." Amanda stated before walking away with her. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. . ."

"It's not good, El." Olivia breathed into her phone, hunched over in her chair, locked in her office. "I don't know how far in she is or deep she is, but it's not what we thought. Either she's still in the game or she is the game. I was so caught up in the fact that I found our daughter. I completely forgot to do my job."

"Hey, it's going to be okay. Alright? We both saw how upset she was about us suggesting Danny was in the game. If she's involved, she's definitely not running the show." Elliot said, glancing back towards the kitchen to verify that his boss still thought he was working. "Even if she's lied to us, there has to be some truth in there somewhere. We'll get through this."

Olivia huffed out a breath, glancing over at the interrogation room where Gemma sat with her hands cuffed to the table. She had her head pressed against the steel with her eyes closed. "I hope so. Rollins seemed a little too happy to arrest her. She even made a comment that she might not be our daughter."

"Well, she doesn't know everything we do. I bet she's just looking out for you in the only way she knows how to at this point." Elliot sighed. "But, she could've handled the situation better. At least, talk to you first. I mean arresting our daughter in front of the entire squad. It's probably her way of getting back at you for not telling her about Gemma in the first place. Not that she should've known. I don't even know her. I don't want a stranger to know about my child. But, she's your friend. You're pretty good when it comes to picking who your friends are, but, then again, you chose me over a decade ago." He smiled when he heard the small laugh erupt over the speaker of his phone. He glanced back over his shoulder again. "I'm done here in a few hours. I will be there as soon as I can. Alright?"

Olivia nodded her head. "Yeah." She felt some of the pressure drop off her chest, enough to let her fill her lungs a little bit better. "Thanks, El."

"Anything to make the woman I love feel better." Elliot smiled before turning back to the kitchen, walking through the swinging doors. "I gotta go, but I'll text you when I'm on my way. Bye."

"Bye." Olivia whispered before hanging up herself. She closed her eyes feeling an entirely different pressure on her chest before she leaned forward, pressing her head against the wood of her desk and closing her eyes.

Please review! Thanks so much for waiting! It's been super busy with college. Just found out today that I have to have braces put BACK on to twist one of my teeth. I still have a baby tooth, and, to put in the implant, they have to make room for it. Wrecked my day finding out that news, but your feedback on my stories always cheer me up. XOXO
