Chapter 3
Elliot, Olivia, and Fin all rode to the Flower shop in the same car. Elliot drove, Olivia rode shotgun, and Fin sat in the back.
"I can't believe you Elliot!" Olivia yelled, "You almost put that poor kid through the wall, ever hear the expression 'don't shoot the messenger'!"
"What did you expect me to do Liv, you're being threatened!" He shouted back
Fin could tell that this was going to be doozy. He knew how these two liked to fight all to well, so he decided to just sit back, and stay out of it.
"I expect you to stop acting like a macho ass, and stop treating me like one of your children, and try to remember that you're not the only cop around here. I know that it might shock you, but I can take care of myself!" She answered.
"Liv, you're my wife, I……"
"No Elliot", Olivia said cutting offhis answer, "When we're in the precinct I'm not your wife, I'm your partner."
Elliot knew that she was right, he didn't know how to counter that, so he just said, "fine." And drove on in silence.
Olivia knew by the silence that she had won this one, and rode the rest of the way with a small smile on her face.
They soon pulled up in front of the florist, and climbed out of the car.
Olivia entered the shop first; she showed the man behind the desk her badge and started to ask if he knew if anyone had sent three roses to the same person that day.
"Yeah." The man answered. "You wouldn't be Olivia Benson, would you?"
"Yeah she is, why?" Elliot answered for her
"I'm supposed to give you this." The man said as he handed Olivia yet another rose, this one was red.
Olivia took the note off and read it out loud.
"Red is the blood you'll bleed after I've had my fun" it read
"Who set this up?" Fin asked
"I don't know" The man answered holding his hands up in defense.
"What do you mean you don't know!" Elliot questioned, taking an intimidating step towards the man.
"Elliot" Olivia cautioned as she grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Look" The man said pleading, "Some guy called the order in this morning. He said that he was too busy to come in to pay, so he sent some kid in with cash. I never saw the guy."
"What about the kid, what'd he look like?" Fin questioned
"He looked like a kid." The man answered as Elliot tensed up again. "Look" he said in defense, "I was busy this morning, I didn't really get a good look at him, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, thanks for nothing." Elliot grunted as he pulled out of Olivia's grasp and stormed outside to inform Cragen.
"Call us if you remember anything else." Fin said to the man as he handed him one of his cards.
He and exchanged frustrated glances before following Elliot back out to the car.
