I'm Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to writing. We had a family emergency over the Holidays, and have just now gotten back to Normalcy. Hope you enjoy! PLEASE PLEASE Review and comment below! Anything is appreciated!
Olivia caught up with Amanda at the elevator, as they stood side by side. Amanda had already pushed the down arrow. Olivia stood silently waiting on the door to open, she glanced over and saw Amanda look away and smirk. The elevator chimed and they rode down in silence to the car park level.
Amanda automatically went to the passenger side, she was always used to Finn driving. She quickly got in and shut the door and turned on the heat .
"Still haven't gotten used to this weather.", Amanda said with her teeth chattering
"That's because you dress like you still live in Georgia," Olivia said laughing with Amanda
Olivia grabbed her coat from the backseat, and held it out for Amanda to grab, as Amanda reached up for the coat she made eye contact with Olivia, she held her stare for what seemed several minutes to Olivia but in reality it was only a few seconds.
Olivia smiled, and Amanda said," What has gotten into you Benson?, First, you are working for Amaro and now you are lettin me wear your jacket?", Amanda joked.
"I may have to keep it, it looks pretty good on me don't you think?" She asked Olivia as she posed in the tattered brown leather.
Olivia looked over and did a double look, thankfully they were at a red light. It did something to Olivia seeing Amanda wearing her jacket. It fueled something deep inside her that hadn't been awoken in a very long time.
"Well?" Amanda expectingly asked
Olivia didn't hear her until, a car horn beeping brought her back to reality. She looked away, the light was green. She cleared her throat, "yea, looksa.. looks better on you than it does me."
"Ohh, I don't know about that", Amanda said without hesitation.
Olivia put the car in park and looked over at her speechless, as she was trying to think of something to say, Amanda practically jumped out of the car.
No, no, no, not happening, Olivia thought to herself as she flashed her badge and walked under the yellow tape. "Don't even think about it." But that made it worse.
She found Melinda through all the uniforms by a dumpster and walked over. " What have we got?" She asked looking down at a brutalized white male in his late 20's half covered by a white sheet.
Melinda said, "skin is still warm, time of death couldn't be more than three hours ago." "Look at this, as she told a tech to swab, what appeared to be semen at the corner of his mouth." "We'll get it processed and get it to you as soon as possible." Melinda promised. "Where's you partner?" She asked Olivia
"At the beach", she said cheerfully.
"Well that's new" Melinda said
"What?" Olivia asked
"Oh nothing." Melinda smirked as Amanda walked over from interviewing a couple of witnesses. "Didn't really get anything we don't know already, but I did notice that on the other side of that wall is a store, maybe they have some video footage."
Melinda said,"Yea, it's a corner store."
"Is that a new coat?" Melinda Observed
"No it's Olivia's she was kind enough to lend it to me." "I'll go see what I can find out." Amanda said
Melinda looked at Olivia
"See you back at the station", Olivia nodded towards Melinda
Olivia was able to catch the door for Amanda, they walked in. It was nothing fancy, little corner store indeed. Amanda flashed her badge and started talking to the owner about the footage. Olivia stood behind her and let her take the lead on this one. Besides she didn't mind watching her work. It didn't take long for Amanda to work her charm on the owner to get exactly what she wanted out of him.
After they arrived back at the station, they got back to doing their respective duties. Amanda was watching the footage, and Olivia was piecing the timeline of death, looking for suspects in the database that matched the MO. Olivia got a call from Melinda and told her the DNA was back and was a positive match for a suspect. Amanda had already freeze framed the profile of the suspect in the video, that was dragging the deceased into his final resting spot. They had this guy. They found the the address pretty easily as well, since the suspect had a rap sheet a mile long. They went and picked him up, pulled him in for questioning and got a confession in record time. After they got the confession in writing, he would sit in a holding cell until, he was taken to Rikers by an officer.
They were both quite proud of themselves and decided to call it a night.
"Job well done", Olivia said to Rollins as she was walking out of the squad room.
"Thanks, you too detective!" "See you tomorrow?" Rollins playfully asked.
"No where else I'd rather be.." Olivia said as they parted ways
Olivia was standing outside the precinct trying to hail a cab, she heard familiar footsteps coming from behind her. She was greeted with a warm, " Well, Hello Detective Benson."
