Celia walked into her new squad room and knocked on Anita Van Buren's office door.

"Come in." Anita yelled. Celia opened the door and walked in.

"Hi, I'm Celia Garcia."

"Oh good, you're here." Said Anita, "Your partner hasn't arrived yet."

"Who is my partner?" Celia asked

"His name is Reynaldo Curtis." Said Anita.

"I can't wait to meet him." Smiled Celia, "I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for letting me come to this precinct."

"Well, we need people, that's no lie." Said Anita.

"So I hear." Said Celia, "By the way, Odafin Tutuola says hey."

"So you know, Fin?" asked Anita, "How's that boy doing?"

"He's good, working for Special Victims."

"How do you know him?" Anita asked.

"He's my fiancé."

"No shit." Smiled Anita, "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

"When's the big day?"

"We haven't set one yet." Laughed Celia, "We don't know anything. Could be next week, could be next decade. We can't decide." Anita looked out her window

"Well, Curtis just walked in." said Anita.

"I'm going to go introduce myself, and see what case he's working on." Said Celia

"Alright, I'm sure we'll be talking later." Said Anita. Celia walked out of the office.

"Reynaldo Curtis?" Celia yelled to him.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm Celia Garcia, your new partner."

"Nice to meet you." Said Rey, "You're the one from the FBI, right?"

"Yea."

"Quite a step back." Said Rey, "What made you decide to come back here."

"The Government sucks." She laughed.

"Well, I can't argue."

"So what are we working on?" Laughed Celia.



Stabler and Benson were sitting in the incident room looking at the tapes from the apartment complex, when Munch and Fin walked into the room.

"Anything noteworthy on the tapes?" Munch asked.

"Oh yea, the pizza delivery guy from DiCarlo's, or the man coming back into the building with take out Chinese." Smirked Stabler.

"Wonderful." Said Fin.

"Yea, we're in a boat load of evidence. The lab reports said that there were two sets of DNA at the scene, Alex's and the perp's." Said Munch.

"Oh yea, we're flying now." Said Stabler

"We don't have anything." Sighed Olivia.

"Well, it looks like we're just going to have to ask some people what they saw." Said Stabler, "Going back to basics." Just then, Cragen walked into the incident room.

"The door man at Alex's apartment complex was shot." Said Cragen.

"Shit, we were just down there." Said Benson.

"Fin and I will go? Do what you were going to do." Said Munch

"Homicide is down there right now, talk to them and see if they can give us a description of him. Maybe it's the same guy."



Munch and Fin arrived at Alex's apartment complex. Officers covered the area. Fin got out of his car and looked around for the whereabouts of the victim. While he looked he saw Celia interviewing some girls on the street.

"Fin, I'm going to talk to Det. Curtis." Said Munch, "See what's he's got."

"Alright, I'm going to see what's the score on the victim." Said Fin. He walked over to the Ambulance and poked his head in, "How is he?"

"We've got his bleeding controlled." Said the medic; "He's got a bullet in his hip, and one in his shoulder."

"Alright, get him to the hospital. We'll talk to him later." Said Fin. Fin walked up behind Celia, "How's the first day going?"

"Hey Fin, Just a second." Smiled Celia as she turned back to the girls she was talking too, "So, the guy was wearing a green khaki jacket?"

"Yea." Said one of the girls, "He had like, black hair."

"He was kind a dirty, but I'm sure he was white." Said the other.

"Ok, and why weren't you two in school? Asked Celia,

"We skipped." Sighed one of the girls, "You're not going to tell our parents are you?"

"Only if you promise me that you're going to show up at my precinct tomorrow to meet with a sketch artist." Said Celia as she handed them a card.

"Ok." Said Celia, "Now get to school."

"Thanks." Said the girls in unison as they walked away.

"What's going on?"

"Attempted murder on a random door man." Said Celia as the two walked over to wear the doorman was standing when he got shot, "What are you doing here, this isn't Special Victim's material?"

"Alex Cabot lives here." Said Fin, "and she was attacked last night. We think that the man that attacked her, may have been the same guy that shot your door man."

"Oh my god, is she alright!" said Celia.

"Yea, she's fine." Said Fin, "Scared out of her mind, but fine."

"I can only imagine." Said Celia, "This guy was really sloppy. We've got several witnesses to the shooting." Just then Curtis and Munch walked up.

"Hey, how's the first day back?" Munch asked as he patted her on the back.

"Oh, beautiful." Smiled Celia, "As I was saying there were several witnesses. Only a few could tell me what he looked like, but everyone said he took off on a motor cycle, headed to the east side."

"The few people I talked to said the same thing." Said Curtis, "Munch filled me in with SVU's end of the case."

"Anyone happen to get a plate number on the bike?" Said Munch.

"Several witnesses, and no one could even tell us what kind of cycle it was." Chuckled Celia.

"I'll go talk to the apartment manager about getting the video tapes." Said Fin, "Maybe we can match someone from the other night."



It was about 2:45pm when Munch walked back into his apartment. Alex showered and dressed when he got there. She was actually sitting on the couch reading one of his books. Alex looked up and closed the book when Munch walked in.

"Hey." Smiled Alex.

"You ready to go."

"I guess." Sighed Alex as she stood up, and slightly hesitated as she walked towards the door where John was standing. Once she got closer to him, John took her hand in his own.

"I won't let anything happen to you." He smiled. Again, Alex blushed. With that, they walked out of Munch's apartment.

About 20 minutes later, Munch and Alex walked into the main area where Alex's office was. Claire was the first one to run up to her. John took a seat and figured he wait for her to make her rounds.

"Alex!" sighed Claire as she hugged her friend, "Are you alright?"

"Yea," said Alex, "I'm fine."

"I told you to go to the police." Said Claire.

"I'm sorry." Said Alex, "I'll be sure to listen next time."

"NEXT TIME!" shrieked Claire. At that point Jack McCoy walked out of his office.

"Alex, what are you doing here?" Jack asked as he too hugged her.

"I'm just here to pick up some files." Said Alex, "I don't wanna get too behind."

"Just paper work. Claire and I picked up your heavier cases and handed the others off." Said Jack.

"Thank you." Said Alex.

"Just take your time." Said Claire.

"We want you back just as good as before." Smirked Jack.

"I'll be fine."

"Where are you staying?" asked Claire.

"With John." Said Alex, "He's taking good care of me." Claire and Jack looked over at John as he tipped his hat to them

"I'm sure he is." Claire teased. Alex just shook her head and began to walk towards her office.

"Get back to work. I'll check in with you before I leave." Alex smirked. Claire and Jack walked back into their own respected offices and Alex got out her key and unlocked the door to hers. Alex opened up her office door and stood in shock at what she saw in her office, "JOHN!" she yelled. Munch got up and ran to her office.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he looked in, "Oh God." Alex started to cry as she buried her head in her hands. Alex office was in shambles. Every book was off her shelves, every file was scattered about the office. A large message was spray painted across the garbage bag that covered the broken window.
