Rooftop

By musical-Aven

The squad entered the Captain Office, Olivia leading. Everyone shook off the rain off of their shoulders. They were back from the crime scene. Olivia set her weapon down in her desk drawer and shoved her hands in the pocket of her blazer, trying to hide the shake in them.

There was a hostage situation of 24 kids at an elementary school. A crazy old and disturbed man, going into frenzy about his dead grandson had been the starting point. He had taken a shotgun with him. After a couple of hours of negotiating from the streets, Olivia had put on a vest and went inside, even though her squad had warned her not to do it. But Benson was Benson. She just had to rescue those kids.

She was able to diffuse the situation and they arrested the perp without anyone being injured. No one except Olivia, who slashed her hand going into he school through a broken glass window.

Paramedics had quickly patched her hand and they went back to the precinct for a debrief. Between all the chaos from the scene and the adrenaline in her body, the Captain hadn't stop for a moment to take a breath. She hadn't called Lucy yet either. Her hands shaking was the sign she needed to know she needed to take a break from it all, soon. But for now, she had to keep her head in the game. Focus forward and not think about anything else. Or anyone else.

Of course her mind briefly drifted to a certain detective. She wondered if he'd heard about the situation through the grapevines. He was undercover though, with the BrotherHood, and he wasn't supposed to be in contact with her. So she tried, unsuccessfully, not to have any expectations. At the same time, she kind of feared what he'd do it he did hear about it. She didn't want to deal with him on top of everything else. She shook her head, getting rid of her train of thought and focussed on what her team was saying in her office, but Fin confirmed what she's be half expecting.

"Liv, "Fin cut the conversation. "Stabler's here." He nodded towards the bullpen, where Olivia's eyes followed.

She saw him through the open blinds of her office, taking a few steps before standing still in the middle of the space. His eyes found hers.

"Yeah…" Olivia said, not surprised.

Amanda thought Stabler would walk through the office and start yelling at how dangerous it was for Liv to handle the situation. But to her surprise, he broke the eye contact with the Captain and walked decisively to the emergency staircase.

Her squad frowned.

"Assemble all the evidence you have for IAB." She said, grabbing her coat. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She walked out of her office and towards the same staircase.

"What was that?" Amanda asked.

"That was Stabler calling a meeting with his partner." Fin answered, flashback of his years with he partners coming to his mind.

"But he left."

"No, he didn't."

Amanda looked at him confused, but the Sergeant just shrugged, not surprised by their Captain's behavior.
