Olivia walks from the examination room and briefs her partner on their latest victim.
"Well he wasn't too bright we have his DNA, he did a real number on her." Recounted Olivia
"Does she know who her attacker was." Elliot handing over a cup of coffee to his partner.
"She won't say……but I suspect she does and I back his DNA will match someone in the system."
Next day Olivia and Elliot stepped from their vehicle and casually made separate ways towards their target. Olivia watched intensely as an exchange of money and substance took place.
Elliot grabbed the guy by the jacket and throws him against the fence searching for a weapon.
"Hey what." Yelled the other person.
"Hands up where I can see them honey" Oliva growled.
The woman complied "You're making a big mistake." She growled quietly
Olivia's phone then rings and Elliot looks up.
Olivia frown "What……who is this." She hangs up "wrong number." And Elliot continues his search finding cash, drugs and a weapon and immediately cuffs him
The other woman started to struggle so Olivia pushed her against the fence and pat her down to find a gun and a bag of white substance.
"Well look here, we have a real life Bonnie and Clyde." Squawked Olivia
The guy turned around "hey I don't know that bitch." He spat
"Who does this belong to sweetheart." Showing her the gun
"That's none of your business, and I ain't your sweetheart." Spat the woman
Olivia not liking her tone bent her arm back causing the woman to wince in pain.
"You should learn some manners, lets go and have a chat back at our place." She cuffs the woman and puts her into a waiting patrol car.
The officer brings the woman into the SVU precinct. John only glances then goes back to his paper work. Fin gave her a look over as they put her in one of the interview rooms. Fin shakes his head "Damn I know that woman, but where."
Olivia enters the room with a cup of coffee and a folder. She looks over at the street junkie who seemed to be more interested in the two way mirror. Olivia slammed the folder down.
"Hey snap out of it." She barked to the woman
The woman eyes narrowed as she looked at Olivia "having a bad day." Sneered Olivia
"Aren't you." Started back the woman
Olivia ignored and went about her interrogation "So you like hanging out with rapists do you." And opened the folder showing the latest victim
The woman looked up "No but I guess you do." she mocked
"Look at the photos" yelled Olivia
The woman cooly shifted her eyes down
"We have his DNA."
"Well then what do you need me for." Looking back at the two way mirror
"Hey…… do you like keeping company with scum like that….you could have been his next victim.
"Do you follow protocols Detective." Said the woman
The conversation swung around taking Olivia by surprise. Olivia leaned in "what did you say."
The woman let her shoulders slump "you know protocols that prevent." And before Olivia could blink the woman knocked her coffee over. Olivia reached for it but the assailant was out of her seat and pinned Olivia up against the wall, her gun taken from her hip and pushed up under her chin.
Elliot witnessing the event bolts in from the other side, and burst through the door with his gun drawn. "Drop the weapon." He spoke to her
"No" came her short reply and looked back at Olivia. "Hey…..pretty nasty situation we have here. Now who's having a bad day sweetheart." And pushed the gun harder into Olivia neck.
She could only whimper
"Would you now like to fill in your partner about the call you received while we where out in the field."
John and Fin watched Elliot bolt to the interview room and followed. Fin looked in "damn this is bad." He looks over his shoulder to see the captain in a heated discussion with someone from Brass and another bloke. "this is going to git ugly." He whispered into John's ear
"Put the gun down now." Yelled Elliot
"tell him." And she clicks the safety off Olivia's gun.
Tears started to fall "Ummm the caller said we were interfering in a sanction sting operation and to back off immediately."
Elliot shook his head at the information
"what." But then was shoved aside and a man entered the heated scene.
"Ronnie cease this immediately." He ordered
"Yes sir." Ronnie demeanour changed instantly and released Olivia's collar and returned the safety and put the gun on the table. Olivia slumped to the floor.
Elliot pushes past and grabs Ronnie but he was pulled off by another person who now entered.
"Alright…enough." We are from the Narcotics Division and you have botched up our sting operation and blown this detective's cover." Pointed to Ronnie "You have screwed up 6 months work."
Olivia gets to her feet shakily "You had no right to carry on like this."
Ronnie squares off "Oh right and if I said I was a detective working undercover you would have believed me."
Nobody spoke "Yeh you guys are pathetic." Slagged off Ronnie
"Yeh well we still got our man." Gloated Elliot with his arms folded
Cragen now entered the war of words "Umm Elliot a word." And pulled him out
The situation had calmed and Ronnie walked over to Olivia and gave back her gun. Olivia's embarrassment turned to anger and snatched it back "that was a stupid stunt and put it back in her holster."
"Did I prove a point" joke Ronnie "every cop knows not to take their piece into an interview room." Olivia just glared and Ronnie continued "But I guess the scum you deal with aren't that smart or quick." And laughed
"You're full of it." Spat back Olivia
"Yeh maybe but do you know what it's like to be shot with your own gun detective."
"Painful" said Olivia sarcastically
"for a while….but the embarrassment is worse, it stays with you for ever and those around will never let you forget it.. Lesson over detective….schools out." Ronnie leaves.
Cragen read the riot act at Olivia for not backing out of the situation.
"With all due respect the caller didn't identify himself, he wasn't clear and I took it as a cross line."
"Well you screwed up Olivia, case is closed now." Growled Cragen
"what….how can it captain we have his DNA, we know when and where it happened. We have the victim who can place him there
"No….you don't Olivia she's recanted. Narcs have him now and they won't give him up….case close."
Olivia left Cragen's office fuming and walked up to her partner "this is bullshit Elliot…this case isn't over."
"C'mon Liv narcotics have it….it's out of our hands."
"No..I don't except that……we can get him back."
Elliot let out a little snigger "Liv let it go…or is it now personal."
"Don't you dare laugh at me Elliot." Warned Olivia but it was too late and Elliot burst
"I'm sorry….but it's kinda funny."
"Yeh and if she'd accidentally pulled the trigger would it have been funny then."
Elliot could no longer talk because he was laughing so hard
"Screw you." She spat and went to leave.
"wait." Called Elliot and removed a full clip from his pocket and handed it to Olivia. She looked at it in disbelieve and quickly withdrew her gun and sure enough no clip.
"Son of a bitch." Groaned Olivia, Ronnie had managed to humiliate her again and Elliot was now in a fit of hysterics.
"Ronnie gave it to me as she left but not to tell you until later. Just incase you decided to shoot her."
Olivia grabbed her coat and left the building.
