Olivia Benson woke up in her apartment and felt someone's skin beneath her hand; she panicked for a minute, until she looked up and saw her partner lying next to her. She smiled to herself when she remembered the night before. She must have shifted during the night and was now lying on her stomach with her arm around her partner's waste.
Elliot woke up and looked down at Olivia, "hey," he said sighing as he too was taking in the situation. Olivia quickly jerked her hand off his stomach when she realized the awkwardness of the situation.
"Morning," she said rolling over and looking at her clock, "Oh my god, its 9 already" she added jumping out of bed.
Elliot looked at her clock to confirm, "we better get going, we were suppose to be in early; guess we got a little too good of a night's sleep," he said smiling at his partner.
Olivia had to agree, it was the best she'd slept in days, weeks.maybe even years.
"About last night Elliot, Thanks."
"Hey, what are friends for," he said grinning at her.

Juan Robertson picked up a pile of pictures that one of his associates had handed to him. Slowly he fingered through them taking in the images that we set before him. After he got to the last picture he threw them down on the table.
"That bastard," he said, "I should have known he was up to more then he said."
Juan's associate looked at him, "so what do we do now boss?"
Juan looked down at the pictures again, his wife was entering an apartment building looking very cozy with Jeff Smith.
"We already took care of the first problem," said Juan, "now we need to take care of this latest one."

Cragen walked out of his office and looked at his four detectives sitting at their desks going through files. They'd gotten no where on the case yet, and he was starting to get pressure from the DA about it.
"Alright people, PLEASE tell me we have something," said Cragen.
"We have corpse of a drug dealer," said Munch steepling his fingers and looking at his captain.
"Yes, I kind of got that," responded Cragen rolling his eyes, "okay we need to start back at the beginning."
The detectives all looked at each other and sighed.
"Stabler, Benson, I want you two back at the crime scene. Fin, Munch you two check out Sheila's apartment again, maybe Detective Smith and his men missed something."
Olivia and Elliot cringed at the mention of his name, they both had their suspensions about Jeff now and the thought of him in the case made them both a little nervous.
"Alright people, we are running out of time," said the captain, "head out."

Elliot and Olivia walked into the alley in which they'd found Shiela's body a few days earlier.
"We've been over this a million times," said Olivia slapping on some gloves and ducking under the still visible police tape, "I don't know what we are suppose to find."
"Olivia," said Elliot, "maybe you should go get us some coffee."
"You just had coffee," said Olivia, then she paused, "you want me off this case don't you?"
"I'm just worried about you after what Jeff said," replied Elliot putting his hands on her shoulders, "I don't want someone to get wind that you're here and decide to make you the next victim."
Olivia smiled up at him, his concern for her always made her feel special; "Elliot, I'm fine."
He nodded, with her he knew better then to push it when it came to matter's of this, last time he'd left her out in the dark she threatened to get a new partner, he certainly didn't need that again.
"Look at this," said Olivia squatting over what looked like a piece of leather.
"Pretty nice leather for these parts," said Elliot picking up the piece of clothing.
"Yeah no kidding," said Olivia examining the dark red leather square, "you know it looks familiar," she added.
"Really? I was just thinking that too," said Elliot.
They both sat for a minute racking their brains to figure out where they'd seen it, it hit them both at the same time.
"At Juan's apartment," said Elliot
"The man that was there with them, had a patch work leather coat on, I remember it because I kept thinking, wow is it 1984 already?" added Olivia.
Elliot chuckled at his partner's comment, and then stood up, "I think we need to bring Juan and his associate in for some questioning."
