Detective John Munch was sick of lying on his side. Of all the places to be shot, it had to be his ass. The jokes were going to last for weeks. Fin's first visit had been He knew it could have been worse. RAW's plan was brilliant, especially since it was so simple. He was lucky he hadn't taken a bullet to the chest.
"I can't believe you like these," Detective Odafin Tutuola said, eyeing John's shake.
"Hey, you eat fried bananas I don't wanna hear it."
"They're plantains, and if you'd try one you might like it," Fin pointed a finger at him.
"Knock, knock," Detective Olivia Benson said, sticking her head into his room.
"Hey Liv," He said brightly, "How's Elliot?"
"Good, doctors say he'll be fine." She leaned against the door jam, crossing her arms over her chest, "What about you? Need a kiss to make it better?"
"Joke's already been made," Fin smiled.
"But you go right ahead beautiful," John grinned and they all laughed.
"You hear anything else about the other guard?" Fin asked.
"Nothing yet," She sighed.
"How's Casey?"
"The DA gave her the rest of the night off," Olivia shot a pointed looked towards Fin, "Cragen however, was not so nice. We've got to get back to work."
"Yeah, yeah," Fin sighed, "Good thing that man signs my overtime checks."
"I'm gonna tell El I'm leaving, meet you in the sedan?"
"I drive." Olivia rolled her eyes at Fin. Olivia said her goodbyes to John and Fin and they both watched her walk down the hall to Elliot's room.
"So, what do you want to bet that the minute Elliot's out of the hospital Olivia hovers like an over protective mother?"
"Like I'm betting anymore money on those two," Fin grumbled, "I wonder if they know how much they're costing people?"
"What? You think they might know about The Bet?" John raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Fin shot him a droll look, "No, they're just the two most stubborn people on the planet."
"Yeah, what's Logan up to now? Four hundred? Five?"
"A month? What was he thinking? Station Island must have warped his mind."
"Nice partner though. You know, for an ex-Fed."
"Why John, interested is asking the lovely detective Barek on a date?"
John glared good naturedly at his partner, "You know, usually people treat the handicapped with more respect."
"If I did that, I'd have to start listening to you."
