"So I hear you're giving you're mother a hard time" Elliot questioned,Reachel frowned but remained stubbornly quiet.

"Come on now you have to say somthing to me i did justcomeall the way down here to hear your voice." Elliot drawled on causing Reachel to give a look that clearly read 'So'.

"So lets hear it." Elliot demanded in mock scowl.

"Oh alright then happy" Reachel asked.

"Ecastic." Elliot replied good naturedly.

"Oh so you'll talk to him but not to me.' Her mother spat, Elliot glanced at her and cringed her whole face was a lovely shade of red.

"Maybe you shuold say something to her before she explodes." Elliot suggested, Reachel snorted in reply, as a mentel image of her mother blowup like a balloon and going POP! entered her mind.

"I guess we can't have that can we" Reachel turned over and siting up aginst her pillows

"Alright you win mother i'll talk to you... About anything but what hapened, thats between me and the detectives."Reachel said Rebecca's color returned to normal and she sat down agian next to her duaghter.

"Stabler...yeah everythings okay now, Reachel's talking with her mom about anything other then what her mom really wants to talk about..."Elliot stopped long enuoph to nod hello to Reachels father before returning his attention to the phone call.

"Okay Liv i'll be back shortly bye." He disconects the line and stuffing the phone back into his pocket returns to reachels room once more.

"Reachel I have to go now my partner needs me i'll come by a little later okay" Elliot asked Reachel nodded and then her eyes flicked to point beyond his shoulders and she paled dramatically.

"Reachel" Elliot asked turning away from her to see her father standing in the door way.

"Um what is every one staring at" he asked looking around.

"Well Detective stabler was just leaving." Rebecca interjected.

'Big mouth!' Reachel thought scooting down in the bed and pulling to sheet almost over her head.
