Laguardia Airport
The two detectives were both nervous now. Elliot had given up trying to calm Olivia, and was now focused on trying to keep himself from having a heart attack. A voice behind him made him jump a million feet into the air.
"Do you need a search warrant to help you out Detectives?"
Both Elliot and Olivia spun around and found themselves face to face with the smiling face they had longed to see for the last 14 months. The three of them just stared at each other, wearing the silliest grins anyone had ever seen. But that only lasted for a few seconds, as Alex launched herself into waiting arms.
"I have missed you guys so much."
"We've missed you too Alex. So much."
They just stood there, the three of them hugging, none of them wanting to let go. Finally Alex stepped back, the tears freely rolling down her face.
"I am so happy to be home. I take it no one else knows yet?"
Olivia shook her head, the tears on her cheeks too.
"No. We wanted it to be a surprise."
Alex nodded, looking from Olivia to Elliot, then back to Olivia.
"Come on. Take me home."
Elliot and Olivia each took one of Alex's arms in their own, and they made their way out to of the airport, to take Alex home.
