"What evidence do you have?" Langan said as Mike and Casey walked.
"Well first we have 2 witnesses that put him around the victims apartment 10 minutes before she got raped, and also we have his DNA matching the DNA inside our victim." Casey said looking at Jeff.
"I never gave you a DNA sample, only if this agent over here planted it against me" Jeff said looking at Mike.
"Well I guess you didn't learn anything being in prison, you started bleeding when I hit you, it was my napkin you got the blood on so I have the authority to get a DNA test on it." Mike said looking at Jeff who looked angry.
"We want a deal," Langan said as he looked at Mike and then Casey.
"I don't want a deal, Il take my chances going to court." Jeff said as he looked at Casey and then at his attorney.
"Tell your client that if he is found guilty he can face 25 to life" Casey said looking at Langan and then at Jeff.
"I won't be found guilty" Jeff said giving Casey a mean look.
"What are you planning on killing your witnesses?" Mike said leaning on a wall.
"Go to hell you fag." Jeff said looking at Mike.
"Are you a homophobe, Jeff? Is that why you killed my friend and Jennifer Thomas because they didn't judge people." Mike yelled as he held up a picture of Jennifer Thomas, the recent victim.
" That's enough" Langan said looking at Mike.
"Are you going to kill me because I'm FBI, your attitude wont help you when your in Rikers, your going to be someone's bitch and you know it, is that why you scared to take the deal you little pussy." Mike yelled at him as he got really close to Jeff's face.
Langan and Casey just sat there staring at Mike and feeling uncomfortable.
Jeff swung at Mike and hit him in the face, Mike hit him with his fist and then his elbow, he threw him at the wall. Just then Fin and Cragen came in and Pulled Mike off of Jeff.
Olivia came in and grabbed Jeff "your under arrest for assaulting a federal agent." She said as she put the handcuffs on Jeff and dragged him out of the room toward a jail cell.
"Langan said his going to talk to Martinez see if he will take a deal" Casey said as she walked where all the detectives were standing.
"Hopefully he takes it" Cragen said
"Where's Mike?" Casey asked when she noticed Mike wasn't around.
"He was bleeding so he went to the bathroom to clean himself up." Elliot answered.
"You ok?" Casey said when Mike appeared on the door holding a napkin to his mouth.
"My jaw isn't glass, Il live" Mike said walking up to all the detectives.
"My client will take a deal." Langan said as he walked up next to Mike.
"Alright…" Casey said.
"Wait, let me talk to you." Mike said interrupting Casey and pulling her to the side.
"Not to rain on you parade or anything but I really don't think you should give him a deal." Mike said in a low voice.
"Not to be mean or anything but its not your call." Casey said in low voice.
"The defense knows there going to lose, with the evidence we have on him why not put him in for as long as possible. Making a deal isn't the smartest move, you know your going to win why even mess with it." Mike said in a low voice.
Casey gave him a look and turned around toward Langan and said out loud "Il think about the deal and Il get back to you on it."
"Fine" Langan said and walked out of the room.
"What was that all about?" Olivia said looking at Mike and Casey. Casey looked at Mike.
"Look the way I see it the longer this guy is in Jail the better, so making a deal is a bad move in my opinion. With this evidence the jury cant find him innocent and plus he was in jail already so the odds are against him." Mike said as everybody just starred at him.
"What? I dated a lawyer once." Mike said smiling.
Everyone smiled, Casey rolled her eyes as she smiled and went outside.
"Ok guys since we have our guy, take the rest of the day off and Il see you tomorrow." Cragen said to all of his detectives.
Everyone grabbed their jacket and got ready for there very anticipated day off.
"Hey where all going to go to the pub down the street for some drinks, and since your part of the team for this case why don't you join us." Olivia said to Mike as he grabbed his jacket.
"Aren't you afraid they will check his ID and then will get busted for buying booze for a minor." John interrupted them as he put a file inside a file cabinet.
Elliot came to his side and said "that would make great headlines wouldn't it, I can see it now cops buy FBI agent booze, what a shocker!"
Everybody started laughing and headed out towards the elevators. With Elliot, Fin, and John upfront Olivia and Mike followed.
"How do you deal with these guys every single day?" Mike said as he looked at Olivia.
"Well they might all be weird but their good guys and they're very good at their jobs, plus I get to make fun of them so it's ok." Olivia said smiling and walking toward an elevator.
"Looks like someone is starting before us" John said when he saw Casey sitting at the bar.
"Hey guys, I was just going to go home," Casey said turning around to see the detectives.
"Why because we showed up…" Mike started to say when a guy jumped on his back.
All the detectives turned around to see what was going on. Mike turned around to see who it was. When he noticed it was one of his friends.
"Mike! I thought it was you." The guy got off his back and hit him on the shoulder.
"Yup, its me, oh sorry this is one of my friends Travis Smith, Travis these are detectives from SVU" Mike said as he turned around to face the detectives.
"FBI?" Elliot asked as he shook Travis's hand.
"No way, I'm not that patriotic, I met Mike when we were in the Reserves together." Travis said as he met all the detectives. Just then 3 more guys came behind Travis, one guy jumped on Mike's back the other one put his arm around Mike's neck and one of guy pushed him. Mike smiled as they got off of him.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mike asked his friends.
"Partying, what else" one of the guys said as he walked over to were Casey was sitting.
All the detectives ordered a beer.
"So Mike, is this your girlfriend?" the guy said as he leaned on the bar by Casey.
"No, she's the ADA for SVU" Mike said smiling and looked over at Travis.
"Oh ok in that case I'm Ben I'm very romantic and I like long walks on the beach…" Ben said as he put his hand out in front of Casey. Travis came to Ben's side and put his arm around his neck.
"Sorry about that, his a little drunk don't mind him, were going to go before Mike beats up Ben…again" Travis said smiling and pulling Ben away.
"I'm not that drunk, at least I make a move towards the girl I like." Ben said looking over at Travis and then Mike. Mike gave him a look.
"Oh you like her, Mikey, sorry about the whole flirting thing, Mike is a nice guy you should date him, since Mike and I are the only ones that know how to flirt" Ben said as he started messing with Mikes hair and looked over at Travis.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Travis looked at Ben.
"You know what it means. My friend Travis likes you, but he is to shy to say anything, he has been checking you out since you walked in with Mike." Ben said as he looked at Olivia. Travis started blushing and gave Ben a mean look.
"Oh was that a secret." Ben said, as he looked Travis.
"Not anymore" Travis said.
"Hey Mike do you think Travis is going to beat me up after we get out of here, because I know his not going to do it know because he is one on those gentlemen type of things just like you." Ben said as he leaned in by Mike.
"I'm hoping he does, and you wonder why you get in bar fights." Mike said smiling.
"Oh that I never wonder, I'm going to hell in a hand basket I know that, but I m wondering why your still not making out with her" Ben said and then looked at Casey.
"Ok, um were going to take Ben home before he gets killed by Mike and Travis, it was nice meeting you guys and ladies and Mike nice seeing you again" One of the guys said shaking hands with Mike and grabbing Ben by his shirt and pulling him toward the door.
"Well that was interesting." John said finishing his beer.
"Yea, his actually a nice guy but when his drunk he becomes very…um what's the word I'm looking for" Mike started saying and looked at Travis.
"Um…honest, and also an asshole." Travis said smiling.
"Exactly what I was going to say." Mike said with a grin on his face.
"Well I'm done with my beer, I'm going home to get some very much needed sleep." John said as he pulled out money from his pocket and gave it to the bartender.
"Same here. Il see you guys tomorrow nice meeting you Travis." Fin said as he put his glass down.
"You too." Travis said standing by Mike and Olivia. Fin and John walked out.
"Well I'm going to go also, to finally spend some time with my kids, Il see you tomorrow, Travis nice meeting you." Elliot said as he shook hands with Travis, grabbed his coat and walked out the door.
"Well there boring, any one want to do something fun." Mike said looking at Travis, Casey and Olivia.
"Maybe another time, I'm way to tired, woke up this morning at 2 so I need some sleep. Im going to go home also, sorry." Olivia put her glass down grabbed her coat.
"Um, Travis why don't you walk her home it's getting late." Mike said pushing him with his elbow.
"Its ok, I don't live far." Olivia said putting on her coat.
"I don't mind" Travis said.
"Ok" Olivia said with a smile on her face.
"Goodnight" Mike said as Travis opened the door for Olivia.
"So you're a detective," Travis said walking with Olivia.
"Yup, why you intimidated?" she said with a little grin on her face.
"A little, you like your job?" Travis said with smile on his face.
"Yea, sometimes disturbing, but I feel better after the perp goes to jail. What do you do?" Olivia said smiling.
"I am head of security, at Madison Square Garden, being in the reserves gives you a promotion for security." Travis said putting his hands in his pocket.
"You like your job?" Olivia said looking at Travis.
"Yea, I feel bad when people get drunk, but when I throw them out I feel better just like putting them in jail." Travis said smiling, Olivia started laughing.
Back at the pub Mike and Casey finished there drink.
"So judging by the conversation earlier, you got in a fight with your friend?" Casey said smiling.
"Yea, we where at party after being in the Reserves and he got drunk and he started being rude to my sister I had a lot to drink I lost it and started fighting with him. Not one of my most charming moments." Mike said smiling.
"And I thought you might be a fun drunk." Casey said smiling.
"I am but when I'm protective when I'm drunk, I get in fights, that's why I never go to bars with girls because if I'm drunk and someone hits on them I throw a punch. Its not one on of my best qualities, but if you ever want some guy beat up give me a couple of drinks and let him hit on you I probably will knock him out." Mike said smiling.
"Il remember that." Casey said as she started laughing.
"So you want to go catch a movie or something." Mike said.
"I would love to but I have to finish some paper work for tomorrow." Casey said getting up and taking money out of her purse.
"Put your money back, I'm not letting you pay for your drink." Mike said as he took money out of his pocket and handed the bartender money.
"You didn't have to do that," Casey said putting the money back into her purse.
"You can pay me back by letting me walk you home." Mike said with a smile.
"This is where I live, thanks for walking me home." Olivia said to Travis as they stopped in front of her apartment.
"It was my pleasure, you want to do this some other time, but with out my drunk friends of course." Travis said with a smile.
"Yea, I would love that, its kind of cold why don't you come up for coffee or something." Olivia said smiling.
"Yea sure." Travis said with a smile on his face.
"Nice apartment." Travis said as he walked in.
"Thanks, if only I spent half the time here. I'm mostly at the precinct because of my job." Olivia said as she threw her keys on the table and took off her coat.
"Well I respect you for actually doing that job, I know this might not sound so masculine but I could never do that job, too harsh for me." Travis said as he took off his jacket.
"Well thanks, I appreciate that. I couldn't deal with drunken people like you so I guess were even. You want coffee?" Olivia asked as she went into the kitchen.
"Sure, well that makes me feel a little better, so is Elliot your partner?" Travis said as he sat on the couch.
"Yup, we have been partners for 6 years." Olivia said as she came out the kitchen handing Travis a cup of coffee and sitting on the couch next to him.
"Wow 6 years, that's impressive. How long have you been a cop?" Travis said and then took a sip from his cup well looking at Olivia the whole time.
"Too long, I can hardly remember." Olivia said as she put her cup down.
"So what Ben said about checking me out when I walked in, is that true." Olivia said smiling.
"Well its hard not to look when the prettiest women walks into the room." Travis said as he started blushing.
"which direction is your house?" Mike said as he opened the door for Casey.
"this way" Casey said smiling as she grabbed Mike by the arm and pulled him the other way.
"you want to hang out sometime out of work?" Mike said as they walked and Casey still holding his arm.
"sure, as long as we don't go to a bar and you getting drunk." Casey said smiling.
"you got it." Mike said smiling.
"what sports do you like?" Casey said looking over at Mike.
"mostly baseball, and basketball, you?" Mike said
"we have something in common. I love softball. I also play basketball sometimes." Casey said.
"ok then how about we go to the batting cages sometime." Mike said with a smile on his face.
"Benson" Olivia said as she her cell woke her up and she answered it. "ok, I'l be right there" she said as she hung up her cell and looked over at Travis lying next to her, with his shirt off. She didn't want to wake him up so she just got up. When she got up, Travis woke up.
"hey" he said looking at her.
"hey, did I wake you up, I'm sorry." Olivia said as she put on her jeans.
"its ok, where you going?" Travis said as he grabbed his shirt from the floor.
"I have to go to work. If you want you can sleep and let yourself out." Olivia said as she went to her closet to get a shirt.
"No Its ok, Il go now I have to be up at 7 anyway. Which is in 4 hours" Travis said as he got up and looked at his watch and smiled.
"You want me to drop you off?" Olivia said buttoning up her shirt.
"No, its ok I live close by here." Travis said as he put on his jeans over his boxers.
"you sure?" Olivia said as she grabbed her badge.
"yea, thanks. You going to call me about that date?" Travis said smiling and putting on his shirt and walking towards Olivia.
"you can bet on that" she said in a low voice. Travis smiled put his hand on her waist and kissed her on the cheek, She smiled.
"see ya later, pretty girl." Travis said as he walked out of the apartment. Olivia just smiled.
"Seroulli" Mike said sleepily when he answered his phone. "ok I'm coming." He looked over at Casey sleeping. He got up and grabbed his jeans and shirt.
"you ditching me?" Casey said as she opened her eyes. Mike turned around and went over to her bedside.
"even if you wanted to get rid of you wouldn't be able to. I have to go, Il see you later." Mike said as he moved Casey's hair away from her face and kissed her on the cheek. Casey closed her eyes and smiled.
