Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I've been super, super busy! Anyway to keep you from waiting, here's the next chapter of "Love Can Be Deceiving."


DOINK DOINK!

Munch walked into the station with a tired, groggy look on his face. The antisipation of a new detective on the force kept him up all night. He wondered what she would be like, maybe she would be like him. Anything was possible, but he knew one thing about her. She was a firecracker, and Munch was anything but that. When he got to his desk looking for his notes on the case, he noticed Fin standing above him.

"You look terrible man. What happened to you?" he said, as he sat on Munch's desk.

"Thanks for the compliment." he retorted crankily.

"Sorry but it's the truth. What kept you up all night, the conspiraces that you read about?" Fin asked jumping up from his position on the desk. Munch sighed loudly, and nodded at his partner.

"If you really must know, I was up all night from the antisipation." he said manifestly, not looking up from his notes. Fin was about to ask from what, but then realized what he was talking about and let out a quiet laugh.

"Oh, so that's what kept you up all night. Don't worry she'll be here soon." he said with a smile as he patted his partner on the shoulder. Soon after Fin had said that, Elliot came into the precinct, with Olivia trailing behind him.

"Any signs of the new kid?" Elliot asked with a smile. Fin nodded, but Munch kept looking through his notes.

"She's probably talking to Cragen. So what are our theroies on what happened?" Olivia said, changing the subject as she approached the men.

"Jordan probably snuck out of the house while Rick was sleeping, so he could get to Kate. He took her somewhere and forced himself upon her. She was probably disgusted with him after he did that and he didn't take that too well. So he beat her to death, and dumped her body in a dumpster." John said, as though he had been there.

"Or, Rick and Jordan both snuck out, one raped her and one beat her to death." a voice argued. Olivia, Elliot, Fin, and Munch spun around to see a young women standing before them.

"It's seems the most logical since Rick and Jordan didn't seem to upset, and Rick covered for Jordan." she said again, glancing over at Munch's notes. The four detectives stared at her in a dumbfounded state. Munch opened his mouth to ask a question, when Cragen walked up next to the women.

"I see that she found you without my help. This is Detective Hayden Simmons, I told you about her yesterday. Hayden, these are Detectives Olivia Benson, Elliot Stabler, Odafin Tutulola whom we call Fin, and John Munch." he said as the pointed to each detective.

"It is such an honor to work with all of you. I read about you guys in the newspaper, and I feel so blessed to be working with you." Hayden said, while quickly shaking each of their hands. The way she said it made John snicker, and when she heard this she cocked her head.

"Don't mind him, he is very cynical compared to you." Cragen reassured her, and Hayden nodded in response.

"Captain we want to speak to you in private, about her." Elliot whispered into his ear, nodding over at Hayden. Cragen nodded, and the five of them walked into a room, Hayden just sighed.

"They're just skeptical about you. When they get to know you better I'm sure they'll love you." said a voice behind her. There stood a short chinese man with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Im Dr. George Haung." he said kindly, holding out his hand for her to shake. She quickly turned her frown into a big grin, and shook his hand.

"Well, now I can tell my mom I made a friend at work." she said with a laugh, which made Haung chuckle.

"Well, I'm glad to be your first friend here. Just give the rest time to warm up to you." he said, as he laid and hand on her shoulder as a sign of comfort. Hayden smiled and let a warm giggle, and began a conversation with her newfound friend. Back in Cragen's Office, the detectives began to discuss Hayden.

"This has to be a joke!" quipped Olivia, as she threw her arms up in the air. "She has got to be in her early twenties!" she said, as she walked over to Elliot.

"This is the real deal Olivia, I'm sorry that this upset you." Cragen said, resting back in his chair.

"Well give us some dirt on her Captain." Munch said, leaning against a wall.

"Well like I said, her name is Hayden Simmons. She's twenty-six years old, and she has been working with Homicide for about three years. She is an expert with teenagers and children, and she's a damn good detective for her age." he answered, now sitting straight up in his chair.

"But why her Captain, what makes this bubbly, blonde haired, hazel eyed girl so special?" Fin asked still confused why a twenty year old was working for them.

"Internal Affairs found out that she was one of the top students in her class at John Jay. They also found out that she has close ties with Jack McCoy, and he recommened her to them." he answered truthfully, growing tired of all questions.

"The reason she so good with teenagers is that she is pratically still one. I thought she'd be a little more mature than this Captain, can't you ask for a new de-" Elliot complained, but was cutoff by a very ticked off Cragen.

"Listen, I'm just as upset as you guys are but she was assigned to us so she stays! And besides, she seems like a nice girl, now lets get working on the case." he said standing up and walking out of the room, which the detectives followed. They made their way over to the window with the pictures where Hayden was standing and observing.

"So what's up?" she asked, slapping her hands together and then rubbing her palms together.

"Nothing, but you'll be going with Munch and Fin to bring Jordan and Rick back to the station." Cragen said, while Munch and Fin shook their heads.

"Alright let's get this going, I'll drive." she announced, as walked towards the exit.

"Bury me somewhere peaceful." Munch moaned with dispare, as he follwed Fin out the exit.
