Precinct 1-6 ( 2 months later)

"You expect me to believe to that for our client's statement you'll offer us a life sentence plea in return?" DA Monroe argued.

"Exactly councilor. You put it great perspective for you and your help." Said the opposing DEA. Monroe slammed her hands down on her desk.

"That is District Attorney Alexandra Cabot, and she is my co council, not help. And Hell no! We will not take you up on the sorry excuse for a deal!" Alex stepped forward to the opposing council.

"If you think that your client can get away from raping twelve men and killing four on a technicality, then you are seriously mistaken, Burger." Cabot was just as hot headed as Monroe.

"All the proof you have on my client against these wild accusations is your client's hearsay statement that will only put you both in a deeper hole that you won't be able dig yourselves out from." Defense Attorney Burger sat very comfortably in his chair.

"You son of a bitch. You want our client's statement so you can expose his previous sex life as a homosexual and to pit him against the jury." Burger shook his head.

"I have no intentions of doing that at all Alex. But it will not be my fault if it comes across that way in court. Is your client ashamed of his sex life?"

"This is not about our client's sex life, councilor." Monroe stated obviously annoyed walking over to Burger. "We are not going to take you up on your deal unless your client admits to raping Sam Watson and he is brought to the grand jury."

"What? No. Why would I make him confess to something he didn't do especially when that homo allured him into having sex than he cut my client with a razor on his back saying it was nothing more than a game!"

"Because it was role play, in the beginning. Many people do it." Monroe said defensively.

"Our client, Sam Watson, had razor blade cuts all over his back just like your client did; only the cuts were deeper and longer saying that your client, Roger King, did this to him without his consent as Roger was raping him." Cabot firmly stated.

"No. My client defended himself with that razor against Sam Watson because he did not want to have sex any more with him." You could see that Burger's veins in his head were becoming noticeable.

"Yeah, Roger King defended himself by throwing our client up against a wall, raping him, then cutting up his back with the razor." Monroe said.

"Sounds like a great defense councilor, saying he raped a man because he didn't want the man to have sex with him. That will hold up well in court." Cabot and Monroe were all in DEA Burger's face like Benson and Stabler are in interrogations.

"My client did not rape him, or any other homos that say he did." He got up perturb and loosened his tie.

"Please sit down councilor before I get a very muscular detective in here to make you sit." Monroe threatened knowing Elliot would love to get his hands on Burger.

"Don't bother! I'm leaving with the intentions that you both are very excited to lose this case." He grabbed his briefcase and headed for the door.

"Just try us councilor." Monroe crossed her arms standing up firmly.

"You have no idea what you're up against." Cabot stated with a small smile on her face standing in front of Monroe. As sigh of relief came as Burger left the room and out the precinct doors.

"What a bastard." Monroe stated. Cabot looked back at Monroe.

"We'll win this one." Monroe walked passed Cabot and headed for the door.

"Not before that snake Burger drags a good mans name through the dirt." Monroe held open the door and gestured for Cabot to walk through.

"Thank you." Alex thanked Monroe and walked over to Elliot, Olivia, and Cragen that were waiting for the two DA's.

"Well, at least you got him squirming." Cragen announced.

"That's because I threatened to send Elliot in after him." Rachael chimed in as she walked past the group and over to her jacket. Alex glanced over at Rachael with a smile on her face.

"So no deal, Alex?" Olivia asked. "Alex?" Cabot turned her focus off Monroe and back at the group.

"No. No deal from either side. Burger is going to try his best to put Sam Watson's previous promiscuity on trial."

"That won't go well for us." Cragen stated.

"No it won't." Alex glanced back over at Monroe that had just stopped small talk with John Munch and had put her black jacket on. While Cragen and Olivia made side conversation about the case, Elliot noticed Alex's eyes all over Monroe.

"Enjoying the company of your new co council, Miss Cabot?" Elliot asked with a smirk on his face. Alex turned her attention towards Stabler.

"Yes I am. She is a very intelligent woman with a lot of personality, especially in the courtroom. She even makes dull paperwork fun to do when she's around."

"So . . . why aren't you two . . . ya know."

"Detective Stabler! I don't see how that concerns you at all, not to mention it's none of your business." Elliot chuckled backing away.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me for asking out of pure curiosity." Alex crossed her arms and let out a quick sigh.

"Fine. But I will be looking forward to a damn good apology in the near future."

"No problem. I'll go start on that right now." Elliot scampered over to his desk then to his locker then up to the crib. Cragen walked away from Olivia after there side conversation had ended.

"So, do you want to grab some lunch with me, Lex?" Olivia asked with a smile that she only used for Alex. Alex walked over and put her forearm around Olivia's.

"Sure! That sounds great. Where should we go?" Alex led Olivia down to the coat rack.

"Anywhere. You know I don't care where we go. Oh wait. My coat is upstairs. I'll be back."

"Shit!" Rachael swore as she entered the precinct again. She looked frantic like a drug addict looking for her stash. She scampered over to Stabler's desk, took out a knife from her jacket pocket and pried Eliot's desk drawers open. It was a little hard to shuffle open but Monroe got it to cram open anyway. She grabbed out a cell phone from the drawer then kissed it. She walked over to the crib wall and yelled up while Olivia walked down the steps.

"Elliot Stabler! If you ever hide my cell phone in your desk drawer again…" She tried to think of something to say. "I'm going to convince your daughter, Elizabeth, to give me her private phone number!" There was a loud guttural laugh that came from Stabler.

"She already has a boyfriend!" Elliot yelled playfully.

"Give me five minutes with her over the phone, Elliot." Another laugh came.

"What about Casey, Monroe?" Monroe was about to rebuttal but nothing came to mind as she loved her Novak. She narrowed her eyes and turned around.

"Shit." She said irritated walking over to the door again. Olivia wasn't sure what happened because it was odd to see Elliot play around like that. As Monroe passed by Alex she stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.

"Would you like to grab some food?" Monroe looked tired but happy to see her co council. Alex looked back at Olivia and Olivia shrugged her shoulders.

"Do you mind if Detective Benson comes?"

"Actually, I was referring to the both of you anyway." She smiled brightly. "Should we get going?"

"Yes." Olivia stated returning Rachael's smile.

"Where to Rachael?" Alex asked as the girls walked out the door.

"Pfft, I don't care. Wherever there is good food I suppose."

"Can I come?" Elliot shouted as he ran up to the girls with his coat in his hand.

"And what happened to the apology you were working on?" Alex asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm sorry . . . It's not done yet."

"Come on Stabler, let's go get some food." Olivia stated putting her arm around Elliot.

"Yum Yum." He said playfully.

At a nearby Diner

"So. How are you and Casey doing?" Olivia asked excited really wanting to know.

"Me and Casey aren't doing so fine." Rachael responded quietly. "She says I get too jealous when I see guys looking at her." She sighed and picked up her drink. "I think she wants to break up."

"I'm so sorry Rachael. I'm sure it'll work out."

"Yeah, I hope so. I'm glad she's visiting her family right now. I don't need all that drama with the case we're working on."

"You don't look like the jealous type, Rachael." That was Alex's weak attempt to make her co council feel better.

"I don't know." She took in a deep breath. "Where'd Elliot go?"

"He saw Fin down the block and was off to go have lunch with him." Olivia answered.

"Aw, so how are you and Fin, Miss Cabot?" Monroe asked as she cracked her neck.

"We're doing great. We just celebrated our three month anniversary as a couple last week."

"Wow. Three months. I always thought you would go out with Munch."

"No. No. I don't know why people say that. We are two completely didn't people. I can barely stand his conversations."

"I think it's cute that Munch and Melinda are dating." Olivia stated.

"Are they now? I don't get to see Melinda very often, but I hear she is a very nice person."

"Yeah, John seems to be pretty head over heels with her."

"Good for Munch. Oh, yeah Olivia . . . how is it going between you and Serena?" Cabot asked.

"Southerlyn!" Monroe's eyes widened.

"Yeah. We've been dating recently." Olivia bashfully said.

"Oh my God. When did she get re hired?" Monroe asked leaning in.

"About three months ago." Olivia answered with a smile on her face.

"It was a shock to pretty much everybody when Olivia announced that they had been dating." Alex nudged Olivia's shoulder as she caught her blushing.

"Wow. I would have never imagined that you two would get together. Never even thought about that. I mean, obviously you and Alex then Elliot but ah wow Southerlyn and Benson. That is a hot duo. Congratulations. Thank God I got to Casey before you did." Monroe took another swig of her drink.

"That's what you think." Olivia chimed and winked at Rachael. Monroe wasn't sure about what Benson said but Alex started conversation again before it got real awkward.

"Sorry about it not working out with you and Elliot. Everybody was rooting for you two."

"We had feelings for each other but, I don't know . . . it just didn't click between us."

"Oh did you hear that Abbie came back?" Alex said nursing her hot coffee.

"District Attorney Carmichael?" Olivia asked a bit surprised. Alex nodded.

"Yes. She came I think about two weeks ago."

"Ah yes. I remember the day she came back. She stopped by the precinct one day to speak to Elliot. I walked up to the crib to pick up some tapes I had left up there and well, Elliot should really lock the door when he's busy being indisposed." Alex and Olivia laughed and talked more about recent hook ups around the station.

"I'm so glad that Huang and Monique hooked up. I think it's so cute." Cabot said while Monroe and Benson ordered from the menus the waitress had set down.

"And Cassidy will just be doomed to being a bachelor forever." Rachael handed the waitress her menu and sipped her drink.

"I actually heard he's with some Fire fighter's sister. He got the crap beaten out of him because the guy found out about the two of them."

"He probably deserved it." Olivia retorted handing her menu over to the waitress.

"Cragen met someone too, even if it was on It's great to know that he has a significant other." Monroe checked her watch and sighed that she would have to go back to work in a few minutes.

"Significant other? Are you saying our Captain is gay?" Olivia asked with a smile.

"Not at all. It's just that we haven't met this person nor seen a photo."

"I wonder if he has himself." Alex stated handing her menu over.

A/N: not much of a cliffhanger, I know. I need advice for how to make my stories stop sucking. Please let me know how to improve. But dont make me cry. Oh and tell me if this was too many pairings too fast.
