Liv, Thanks for everything last night. I went home to change. See you at work slugger. -Elliot
Olivia Benson walked out of her room and found the note sitting on her coffee table. She smiled as she read it and then went into her bathroom to begin getting ready for work. They had a long day ahead of them with the Sheila Robertson case and she wanted to get an early start on it.

Elliot Stabler walked into his silent house. It was really early and everyone was still in bed. He crept up the stairs into his room where he saw his wife starting to stir.
"Elliot?" she murmured. Kathy rolled over and looked him; slowly her eyes came into focus. "Oh my god, Elliot are you okay??"
Elliot was taken aback by this, he'd called his wife and told her he was working late and would crash there.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I told you." said Elliot nervously.
"Yeah," she said getting up, "but there's blood all over your shirt and tie."
Elliot looked down, forgetting about how he'd given his tie to Liv, he'd put it on this morning.
"Oh yeah, Olivia had a bloody nose." said Elliot sheepishly, trying to hide the smile that was starting to cross his face. He couldn't get the picture of Olivia slugging Emily out of his head.
"Of course she did." said Kathy rolling her eyes, "and you gave her your tie to stop it?"
"It's all I had, and I felt bad, so yes I gave her my tie to stop it," said Elliot taking it off and throwing it in the laundry basket.
"So she was with you all night?" asked Kathy, a tinge of anger and jealousy filling her voice.
"Well she's my partner honey, and we were working on a case, so yeahshe was with me all night, and so were Munch, Fin and the captain" Elliot quickly added, dancing around the subject, "can we not get into this right now, I need to get to work."
"You just CAME from work," said Kathy exasperated, "when is this going to stop?"
"When is what going to stop?" asked Elliot, knowing full well what his wife was talking about.
Kathy sighed and looked down at her hands, "this lame attempt to make our marriage work."

Olivia walked in to her station house with her coffee in hand and her head down.
"Hey Benson," said John Munch, "Did you get your partner home without any mishaps?"
Olivia looked up at him, revealing her black eye; "Yep, HE made it home without any mishaps."
"What.?" asked Fin coming up behind them.
"Don't ask," said Olivia sitting down at her desk. She looked over and noticed that Elliot wasn't there yet. He was probably getting the 3rd degree from his wife about where he'd been all night.
"Hey everyone, I have some good news." Olivia looked up to see Jeff scampering into their work space.
"Please tell me you found something when you searched Sheila's house," said Olivia.
"Searched where?" asked Jeff.then he caught himself."Oh yeah, we didn't find much at her house, just clothes, pictures, food.the basic stuff you'd find in someone's house, nothing that pointed to anyone. What happened to your eye?"
"She got in a fight," came Elliot's voice, "But you should see the other guy," added Elliot coming up behind Olivia and smiling at her.
Olivia smiled back at him. She could tell something was wrong; Elliot always had a crinkle in his forehead when something was wrong.right above his nose. Right now you could plant corn in that wrinkle it was so deep.
"Anyway," continued Jeff, "my boss called me from Chicago, they located Sheila's husband. He's in New York right now.
"Well what are we waiting for people," said Cragen, "Let's go find him and find out what the hell happened to his wife."
