Chapter 5
It had been a week since the Taylor case. John and Fin had settled into their relationship. They seemed happy enough. That Friday, Fin wanted to throw a party for the gang at his apartment.
"Come on, John. Get off your bony ass and go get the beer and…. Oh here. Take the list." Fin handed John a sheet of paper.
"Do I look like your maid?" John questioned with an over-the-glasses look.
"Yes, and I think you would look great in one of those little uniforms too." Fin fired back.
"You know, I never figured you for a list person. That's something I would do."
"Yeah well maybe you're rubbing off on me. Now go." John rolled his eyes and grabbed his coat and keys. He came back about half an hour later. Olivia and Elliot were right behind him. Cragen came up a few minutes later. They sat and talked and laughed over jokes, partner screw-ups, and pranks they had pulled. It was nearing midnight when Olivia stood up to make a toast.
"To the best bunch of guys I've ever worked with." Olivia said as she raised her glass.
"And to the best female detective too." John added with a wink.
"Here, here." Elliot said and smiled.
"To SVU." Cragen said quietly. Everyone touched glasses and repeated what he said.
