1-6 Precinct (Same night)

Olivia and Alexandra walked through the 1-6 precinct a little tired and disheveled. Olivia walked over to her desk and plopped down into her chair opening a file while Alex sat in the Eliot's chair and crossed her legs watching Olivia pick away papers from the folder.

"You know Elliot's not going to like knowing you sat in his chair." Olivia smiled not looking up.

"Well you can tell your boyfriend to deal with it." Alex retorted sternly with a small smile. Olivia smiled showing her pearly white teeth. She and Elliot have been dating for about two months now. "Besides, this is the closest Elliot's ever going to get to me sitting on his lap." Olivia jerked her head up and the smile was turned to confusion. Alex raised an eyebrow and they both laughed.

"So . . . how do you want to go about this case, Alex?" Olivia asked. Alex thought about the question and took a deep breath.

"We are going to have to get more hard evidence, at least one credible witness, and break both alibis of Roger and Martin." Olivia sagged in her chair then sighed.

"Maybe we can catch bothSteve and Martin in some sort of loop hole so we can arrest them and bring them back here for questioning." Alex added.

"Ugh." Alex laughed at Olivia's groan. "What are you laughing about Cabot?"

"You're so cute when you're dead tired, Olivia."

"Well thanks for the compliment. But I don't think I can agree with you." Olivia checked her watch. "Alex, how did you convince me to come here at two in the morning?" Alex leaned in.

"I didn't have to, Detective." Olivia blushed at the councilor's comment.

"You're cute when you blush, too." Alex spoke softly.

"Elliot's definitely not going to like you flirting with his girlfriend."

"Who says he's going to find out?" And with that, both Olivia and Alex leaned in and their lips met for the first time in a long time.

"Thank God for camera phones!" A women's voice yelled. The two women were startled and broke from there kiss to look up and see ADA Rachael Monroe walking down the crib steps with a camera phone held up to her face.

"Rachael!" Alex was stunned.

"Oh damn!" Monroe began to laugh as she looked at the picture. "Can't wait till I send this kiss to everybody as a Christmas card eh." She walked over to the girls. "Especially Elliot." She flipped the phone so the women could see the picture too. "I even think that's some tongue right there." She pointed to the lip lock.

"Monroe!" Alex said furiously as she and Olivia got to their feet.

"Woah! Cabot . . . calm yourself!" She chuckled. "I'll delete it, I'll delete it." She laughed again then pressed a few buttons on her phone. "Okay. You two can remain calm now, the picture is deleted." Alex looked back at Olivia then turned her attention towards Rachael again.

"Prove it."

"What?"

"Prove that you deleted the picture, Rachael." Rachael opened her mouth to protest but gave in.

"Fine." She rolled her eyes then really deleted the picture. "Okay. Now it's permanently deleted." She walked over to her coat and put her cell phone in the pocket. "That would have been one hell of a Christmas card, Alex."

"Rachael, Elliot would have been pissed to see that picture. You know that." Alex was right; Elliot wouldn't be able to brush something like this off his shoulder.

"I wasn't actually going to use that picture to blackmail you two." Rachael shrugged. "It is just nice to see you two close to each other again. I mean since you and Elliot have been dating, it feels that you two have been ignoring each other." She opened a folder from her briefcase and skimmed through it.

"I think I'm going to go work on the case at home." Olivia said turning around and grabbing her coat from the rack.

"Wait" Monroe scratched the back of her head and walked over to Olivia. "Sorry if I was out of line. I can be juvenile sometimes." Her voice was very serious. "I'll stay out of business that is not mine. Don't leave because of me . . . I'll leave." She closed her folder and picked up her coat. Olivia didn't expect an apology.

"Monroe, are you always like this?"

"What? I'm sorry Detective Benson. I have complete respect for you and Alexandra. Again, I apologize and . . .

"Okay! Monroe . . . stop. Do not apologize or say you're sorry anymore. I forgive you and I'll stay." Rachael smiled relieved.

"Okay. I've already finished up what I needed to do here." She put on her coat. "I'll see you two at seven, ready to go over theSteve Rolandcase. Have fun." She left the SVU precinct to go back to her apartment.
