Author's Note: Thanks to all that reviewed! Sorry it took me so long to write the 4th Chapter. I've been real busy lately, being a Senior and all. Anyway, I'm glad a lot of you enjoyed this fic. I sure had fun writing it: - )

"STABLER! BENSON! In my office, now!" Cragen's bellowing voice can be heard throughout the 1-6 Precinct. And Olivia and Elliot did not like the sound of Cragen's tone right now.

Both looking at each other, "I think we're in trouble Liv! I'm not quite sure yet. But I know that voice. And it can't be good!"

"Can't argue with that!" Liv answered back, smiling lightly.

Elliot and Olivia both got up from their desks and headed toward Cragen's office. Shutting the door behind them, they both sat down and waited for Cragen to speak up. What seemed like ages, Cragen finally got down to the point.

"Alright you two. We've got a problem. Remember Richard White?"

"Yes." Elliot and Olivia answered at the same time

"Well, he just got released from Rikers three hours ago. And I just want to make sure that you're safe Liv. I don't want this freak to try to hurt you again, but knowing how slick he is he might just try it again. Now I know that you might not like this Olivia, but I have no choice but to either put you on desk duty, or you're going to have guards surrounding your house and the areas around it. You will also have a bodyguard. And I know you'd insist in not having bodyguards but I'm assigning Elliot to be your own personal bodyguard, to make you more comfortable. You will not be able to consent to either of these choices is that clear?"

Olivia nodded slightly, "Yeah, I understand. I guess I'll have bodyguards then. I dread the idea of desk duty. Desk duty is punishment. At least to me. Ugh, but I still hate this though."

"I know you do, Liv. But I don't have a choice. I'm just worried about you, as I am sure Elliot is right now."

Olivia sniffed a light laugh. Elliot looked at both the Captain and Olivia and stared at them blankly.

"What? Who says I'm worried about her? In fact, I think she can take care of herself. She doesn't need me to rescue her!"

Olivia, laughing, "Oh thanks El! Glad to know you really care about me!"

"I'm just joking! Of course I'll take care of you. What are partners for?"

Olivia was about to say something but she knew that if she said it, Cragen would begin to become suspicious of their flirting.

After Cragen dismissed them from his office the two partners walked back to their desks. Much and Fin stared at them worriedly. Olivia raised an eyebrow.

"What?" she smirked.

"Did you guys get caught?" Fin asked.

"Caught doing what?" Olivia replied, a little confused.

"Oh come on Liv. That's like you saying no to a couple of beers!" Munch joked.

"Haha very funny guys! Leave Liv alone. We didn't get caught doing anything. And I'd have to agree with Liv. I don't know what you guys are talking about either. The thing is Richard White just got released from prison three hours ago and he just wanted to make sure Liv was protected. He already assigned me to be her personal bodyguard but he's going to want others to protect her house and anywhere near her house also. I think he's going to ask you guys to be guards also." Elliot said as he grabbed his coat.

"Where you going?" Olivia asked, confused.

"Let's go to lunch. I'm starving. Munch, Fin, you guys want to come? Hey where's Alex?" Elliot asked.

The gang looked around for the beautiful blonde but she's nowhere to be seen.

"I think she's at a court case. Oh well. I'm up for lunch. What about you, Fin?" Munch said.

"Alright. Let's go." Fin replied back.

(Later that afternoon.)

Olivia sat in her desk, stumped. She's looking at Richard White's profile, which has been updated since his release late this morning. She was looking at a report that was written by another NYPD officer saying that he saw White at Central Park while the officer was getting his coffee at a hot dog stand. According to him, White was just sitting on the bench watching everyone walk by. It seems like he had no intentions of hurting anyone there. He was just observing his surroundings, like he was studying them. Elliot noticed that she was looking pretty worried.

"Liv? You ok?" Elliot asked, really concerned.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry."

"I think you've had enough of this whole Richard situation. Why don't you just go home? I'll talk to Cragen. I'm sure he'll let you."

"No, it's ok Elliot. Really I'm fine."

"Then how come you look pale as fuck?" Elliot asked, teasing her.

"Very funny Elliot!" Olivia fired back.

"Really though. I think you should go home. If you go home I'll give you a massage." Elliot offered, smiling widely.

Olivia just laughed, "Don't you think the Cap is going to get suspicious if you just leave work early like that?"

"Well I wouldn't get into trouble. I'm your bodyguard remember? I'm supposed to go everywhere you go."

"But he hasn't assigned anything to you or the other officers yet. He's doing that tomorrow, remember?"

"Oh I'm sure he'll not object to me taking my duty early." Elliot said as he leaned across their desks and put a lock of hair behind her ear.

Elliot putting a lock of hair behind her hair like that made her tingle throughout her spine.

"El, stop..please.." Olivia said barley above a whisper. She couldn't even talk or speak up.

Elliot just kept stroking her hair. He knew what made Olivia tingle all over, and that's what he liked about her.

"If you'll go home I'll stop." He said teasing her.

"And if you don't stop you'll get us caught." Olivia smirked, able to regain her composer.

Finally giving in, Elliot stopped. He began to get up and started walking towards Cragen's office. Just then Cragen opened his door.

"Olivia, you should go home early. I don't want you to waste your energy on this guy. That'll just give him more of a chance to take advantage of you. You know that. He preys on the weak and vulnerable. Elliot I want you to drive Olivia home. Take your time. I think it'll be fine though if you also take the day off early. Just make sure Olivia gets home safe." Cragen said, giving the two detectives instructions.

"Funny you should say that Cap because I was just telling her to go home early. But you know how she is. Too fucking stubborn." Elliot teased while looking at Olivia.

Olivia just glared at him as to say, 'Haha very funny!'

Elliot walked up to his locker and grabbed his things. When he walked back to his desk to grab his coat Olivia got up and got her stuff from her locker as well. All of a sudden she felt someone's hot breath breathing against her neck.

"Ready for that massage?" she heard Elliot say.

Olivia turned around and just smiled.

"Yeah. I am."

(At Olivia's apartment almost an hour later.)

"I still can't believe that White got out. Just my fucking luck!" Olivia said to her partner as she grabbed the whine bottle in the fridge and two glasses from the cupboard.

Coming from the kitchen she went into the living room where she sat down on the couch next to her partner.

"Liv. I know you're real frustrated right now. But there's nothing we can do. Now just relax. Don't even think about Richard right now. Besides, I've got something completely different from thinking about Richard all day." Elliot teased.

"And what's that, Detective?" Olivia asked biting her bottom lip.

"I'm going to let you use your imagination." Elliot replied back, taking the whine bottle and glasses away from her hands and sitting her down on his lap.

'Use my imagination? I think I'm going to use more than just my imagination.'
