Author's Note: Alright, I'll admit the last chapters weren't my best works. Introducing Andy was a necessary evil. Hopefully I'll stumble away from that and get back on track. Please read and review.

"So, now what?" George Huang asked to those gathered around a back table at the cop bar. Of course this was the 2-7's cop bar instead of the 1-6's just to be careful. Detective's John Munch and Fin Tutuola had gathered everyone involved in The Bet to the 2-7's cop bar for one big strategy meeting. They were all sick of how long it was taking Elliot and Olivia to hook up. Mike Logan especially since he was in for six hundred already and was not about to lose another hundred to the two most stubborn people in the world.
"We've got to convince them now that they're not partners it's okay for them hook up," Casey Novak said the obvious.
"Right," Andrea Viviano snorted, "Elliot's still pinning for her to come back to work. We'd have better luck tearing down the Great Wall of China then convincing that man that Olivia leaving was the best thing to ever happen to him."
"I could talk to him," Rebecca Hendrix offered, "He's come to me a few times."
"And me," Huang said, "During the Gitano case even."
John and Fin shared a look, "I don't think convincing Elliot's the best way to do this."
"It's been two weeks since she left?" Robert Goren asked, waiting for a nod from John, "Have they seen each other since?"
"Nope, they've avoided each other like the plague," Fin growled, "I swear after seven years of living out of each other's pockets you think they wouldn't have made it this long."
"Are we sure they haven't seen each other?" Ed Green said, which made everyone pause, "You're sure they haven't been seeing each other and you guys just haven't noticed?"
"Trust me, that man is not getting any," Andrea said with a sigh, "Any of you lawyers got a legal way to get them together?"
"Unfortunately there's nothing over lapping between sex crimes and computer crimes right now," Casey said with a sigh, "The moment there is though, I'm sending Olivia your way."
"We've been working with computer crimes for some time now on a murder case," Jack McCoy said, "No sexual components though, so no reason for SVU to be involved."
"How about we kidnap them?" Joe Fontana joked, and the table burst out laughing.
"Yeah, I can see it now," Abbie Carmichael said, elbowing Alexandra Eames who sat to her left, "We'll got grab Olivia with Van Buren, while Munch and Fin grab up Elliot."
"My friend's out of town for a week, we could lock them up there," Carolyn Barek offered jokingly.
"Ah, if only it was that easy," John said with a sigh.
"Liv's the one that left, she's the only one who's ever been able to get to Elliot when he's in grade A jerk mode, so let's work on her," Captain Don Cragen said, which got the table's agreement, "What's our next move?"

Author's Note: I think I got everyone…or at least everyone I could think of, lol. If I've missed anyone, damn, but it's one hell of a list to remember. Also, I love interfering match making, lol.
