Elliot knocked on the door of the dorm room. A pretty young blonde girl answered the door. She reminded Elliot a lot of Kathy when she was younger. He shook his head as if to clear his thoughts. He flashed his badge.

"I'm Detective Stabler. This is my partner Detective Benson," he said.

"Oh you must be here about Lisa," she said flashing Elliot a sexy smile. "Come in." She opened the door wide enough for the detectives to step through.

"We were told that you reported her missing," Olivia said in an annoyed voice. She didn't know why but, she felt defensive when it came to Elliot. She had seen that smile an it had pissed her off. She should be used to it by now though.

"Yeah she was supposed to be going to her boyfriends house ,but when she didn't show he called here. After that I called the cops they said I had to wait forty-eight hours, though," she answered.

"Ok, anything else?" Olivia asked as she wrote in her notebook.

"Like what?" the girl asked sounding confused.

"What she was wearing? The boyfriend's address? His name?" Olivia asked.

"Well she had on a black shirt and this really cute white micro-mini oh and some clear stilettoes and a bunch of rings. Her boyfriends name is Ben Lakemoore as in Lakemoore Paper Company. I'm not sure of his exact address, but he lives over by Jimmy Choo's restaurant," she answered.

Elliot picked up a photo off one of the desks in the room. "Is this Lisa?" he asked.

"Yeah that's her," she said.

Elliot turned the picture towards Olivia and raised his eyebrows as if to say 'we found our victim'.

"Well thank you. We'll be in touch." She and Elliot turned and opened the dorm room door and left.

"Ready to go check out the boyfriend?" Elliot turned and asked Olivia.

"Nah let's have Munch and Fin talk to him and we can go get some food," Olivia answered.

They drove to a deli that wasn't far from the precinct after talking to Fin.

"What do you got planned for you and Maureen on Saturday?" Olivia asked Elliot as they were walking into the deli.

"Hell I don't know. I rarely spend anytime with her. What do most thirteen year old girls like?" he asked her.

"Well," she said a teasing smile played across her lips, "most thirteen year old girls like thirteen year old boys."

"Haha Liv. Don't even start saying that," he said.

"I am just teasing you, El. Relax, I'm sure Maureen isn't even interested in boys yet. But seriously though you can rent movies with her and take her shopping or miniature golfing."

"Thanks Liv. I really do appreciate you covering me on Saturday," Elliot said.

"Anytime Elliot," she told him. "We better head back to the station."

"Yeah let's go," he replied and they got up and paid the bill and left the deli.

"Have you asked Maureen how he feels about Kathy's engagement?" Olivia asked him on the ride back to the station.

"No I haven't had a chance. I figured we could talk about it this weekend," Elliot answered.

"That sounds like a good plan to me. Do you know if Kathy aked Maureen what she thought before agreeing to the marriage?" Olivia asked.

"I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. She can be really selfish at times," he answered.

"I don't think I'd ever get married without asking the two people's who's opinions matter the most to me," Olivia expressed.

"Really, and that would be whose?" Elliot asked her.

"Marissa's and your's," she replied.
