Elliot walked off down the street with the guy from earlier. The guy said, "Thanks for getting me out of trouble earlier. What can I do for you?"
Elliot smled since he knew that the guy had never really been in trouble, especially since they caught the real raper/murderer. But he didn't talk about that now. Instead, he wanted the favor the guy had promised him. "You're a hypnotist. You can make people belive things that might not be true. Right?"
"Yeah, that's pretty much it."
"Okay good. I'm having a lot og problems with my wife lately. She took the kids and won't give them back. She moved out. I don't want to be married to her anymore, but we can't get a divorce since we're Catholic. I don't want to spend the rest of my life married to a woman who moved out and won't let me have my kids. If she's out of the way, I can get married again and be happy."
"You want her to run off and never come back?"
"Yeah, but if she just runs away and never comes back we'll still be married. She needs to be dead."
"Hold on, I'm a hypnotist, not a hitman."
"I don't want you to kill her. I just want everyone else to think she's dead."
"Hey I can only hypnotize one person at a time, not everybody she knows to think she's dead."
"You're pretty dumb, aren't you? Haha, I could set you up with a girlfriend. Do you like lawyers?" Elliot laughed. Then he got serious again. "Tell her that she witnessed a murder and make her go to the feds to confess it. I know someone in witness protection and Kathy can go live with her."
"Wow! You know someone in the program?" The hyponotist wad very impressed and Elliot puffed out his chest.
Elliot felt proud. "Yeah, Her name is Alex Cabot and she was our ADA. Don't tell anyone though, because a lot of people think she's dead."
"This is a pretty good plan."
"Yeah, it just popped inot my head as the erfect solution. Meet me tomorrow at Burger King and we'll talk about the details."
Elliot walked home and felt very proud of himself for coming up with such a good solution to his Kathy problem. He called Olivia to say hi. "Hi, Olivia."
"Oh, Hi, Elliot!" Olivia was nervous when she picked up tye phone because she had been writing about her day in her diary and had just been writing about Elliot when she saw him on the callerID. "How are you?"
"I'm OK. What are you up to?"
"Oh, I'm just having a quite night at home. I was writing in my journal when you called."
"You have a journal?"
"Yeah, it helps me think about my day and how to make it better."
"That's a good idea. Maybe I should try that."
Olivia was surprised. Elliot never really talked about his feelings. She doubted he would really tell them to a book. "Yeah, you should," she said anyway. Maybe he would bring it to work and she could sneaka peek at it.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Yeah, I ordered Chinese foood, but it isn't here yet." Olivia had an idea suddenly. "There's goinna be a lot if you wanna come over and eat with me. I ordered enough for four people so I would have lots of choices for the rest of the week."
"OK, Ill be their in five minutes."
Five minutes laer, Elliot and the Chinese food man were at Olivia's door. Elliot paid the Chinese man and took the food before Olivia could open the door. "I'm making extra money as a delivery man now." He joked.
They sat on Olivia's couch eating Chinese food for an hour. When they were done, Olivia said, "Wow we ate a lot. I don't even have leftovers to eat for the rest of the week now."
"Well maybe I'll have to take you out to dinner for the rest of the week them."
Olivia smield" That's nice"
He gave her a kiss on the cheek and said thanks for dinner as he left. Olivia blushed and took out her journal. She wrote, "Elliot kissed me. I think he really likes me. Maybe someday we can get married after all. First Kathy has to leave. I'm going to think hard to come up with a plan to make her get a divorce from Elliot and give his kids back." She closed the journal with a thud and went happily to bed.
Outside in the street, Elliot was feeling happy too, because he really was going to get rid of Kathy really soon.
