I own no one but my own people.
A/N Nothing to do with the story, but yay me! My original play is gonna be preformed at my school and it was picked out of like one hundred other plays! Yay me!
"Thank you" Elliot mumbled to Mike as put him in the back of the car.
"For what?" Mike said taking off Elliot's hand cuffs even though it was against regulation.
"For not arresting her. She didn't need that." Mike nodded then Lennie came out of the precinct.
"Ready to go?" he said almost cheerfully. Mike just gave him a quick glare then shut Elliot's door.
"Look, I'm beganing to get really sick of you, so why don't you just shut the hell up?" he said angrily before getting in the drivers side and slamming the door behind him. Lennie just shook his head then also got in the car.
"Would it be bad to request the radio?" Elliot said from the back seat a little smugly.
"Shut up Stabler" Lennie said strictly.
"Oh calm down, I was just trying to lighten the mood. So how bout those Mets huh?" Mike held down a laugh whale Lennie just shook his head
"keep it up Stabler." Elliot shrugged
"Okay guess your not a base ball fan. How about foot ball? the Giants are doing really well this season. I wouldn't know of course, I'm so busy protecting the innocent people of this city that I can't ever catch a game. But I'm sure after you crucify innocent cops that you can just take a day off and watch the big game."
"Knock it off" Lennie said trying to sound angry. Elliot just shrugged then they rode in silence to the rest of the way to the agency. When they got there Mike pulled up and got out of the car along with Lennie. Mike went around the car and got Elliot out of the back seat.
"Don't talk to anyone" Mike mumbled to him.
"I know how to handle rats, I've been in trouble with you guys before" he mumbled back. Mike nodded then led him into the agency.
"You do realize that your relationship with Olivia is over right?" Elliot said as Mike took him into an interrogation room. Mike just looked down and didn't say anything. He did know it, he just didn't want to admit it. Lennie opened the interrogation room door and Elliot went in and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Just relax and sit tight detective, I'm sure that even though you almost killed a man, we won't take your badge" Lennie said smugly before leaving the room. Mike gave him a sympathetic look before also leaving the room shutting the door behind him.
"Where the hell is his partner?" Even said when Mike shut the door.
"Lover boy got her off" Lennie said crossing his arms. Even turned and glared angrily
"you what! She tired to cover up the fact that her partner nearly killed someone and you let her off?" Mike shrugged
"no one asked her, so technically she didn't cover anything up" he said knowing that he was probably gonna be put on desk duty because of this. Even just shook his head
"whatever, just go in and interrogate him." They both went to the door but Even told Lennie to come back
"I want Wallice to do it alone, he loves the squad so much, he can get the confession by himself." Mike gave him a glare before taking a breath and going in the room and shutting the door behind him.
"Nice to see you again" Elliot said dryly. Mike sighed then sat down in a chair.
"Look" he said to him quietly
"I didn't want to do this to you, it was captions order."
"Whatever, I just want to say for the record that I want my union rep." Mike nodded before getting up from his chair. Usually when a detective or cop would say that they would just ignore them until they really demanded them, but he wanted Elliot to get off. He walked to the door before Elliot said
"you do realize that your gonna ruin your relationship with her right?" Mike turned back to him
"yeah, but we said when we first met that we weren't going to let th job interfere with the relationship." Elliot scoffed
"and you've done a hell of a job with that. I'm sure that you would have let her off and give me treatment that I know you don't do to anyone else if you weren't dating her. And I'm sure she won't be upset with you because you arrested me because she isn't gonna combine the job and relationship at all."
"Hopefully she won't" he said knowing that she wouldn't. Elliot sighed
"look, she is one of the best things thats gonna happen to you. You really want to screw it up by arresting me for something that any decent human being would have done?" Mike thought for a moment, Olivia had given him a shortened account of what the case was about and when he heard that the victim was put through that much hell by her own father, he wanted to kill the bastard too. After a moment of silence Even came in and sat next to Mike.
"Agent Wallice, please go and wait in my office for a moment please?" he said sounding calm and professional but anger was clear in his eyes. Mike and Elliot locked eyes for a moment before he got up and left the interrogation room.
"Detective Stabler I'm remanding you until this investigation is over. You are not to interrogate or arrest any suspects, have a weapon, or carry around your shield. Your also being place under arrest for the assault and attempted murder of Chris Jackson." Elliot stood up and Even went over to him then led him out of the room then thorough a door that had two cells in it, both unoccupied.
"In here please" Even said opening one of the doors and Elliot went in it.
"You know" Even said as he closed and locked the door
"you have been in so much trouble with us before. You would think you would be smart enough to learn after a while." Elliot just looked at him with a slight glare on his face.
"Don't stand to close to the glass Cleareace" Elliot said mocking Hannibal Lecter. Even glared at him before leaving Elliot in the cell.
"I want my union rep!" he yelled out before Even shut the door. Elliot sighed then laid down on the cot and closed his eyes.
"At least I'll get a few hours of sleep until I get out of here" he thought to himself smugly knowing that Olivia was gonna try and pull something. And if she couldn't then Cragen would try something, hopefully.
1-6th precinct
"Olivia?" Cragen said softly opening the womens rest room door.
"what?" she said trying, and not succeeding, to hide the fact that tears were falling from her. He closed the door and went up to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly. She shrugged
"fine, why wouldn't I be?" she said wiping away more tears.
"Because the guy that you took a punch for just arrested your partner." Olivia sniffed then wiped away more tears. then sighed
"whatever, its done"
"you mean with you and Wallice?" Olivia nodded
"it got to complicated. And now its just gonna get worse, it would be better for everyone if I just ended it." Cragen sighed then went up to her
"as much as I want to agree with you, I can't. Olivia you saw him in there, he got you off on accomplice to attempted murder. He probably broke every rule in IAB book just in the few minutes he was in there. He didn't want to cuff Elliot, he refused an order I know came from his caption, and you and I both know that hes gonna go easy on him."
"Yeah but he arrested my partner" Olivia said sadly
"and do you honestly think that he wanted to?" Olivia looked at him in a little bit of confusion.
"Why do you care so much? just a few days ago you said that I had to break up with him and that he was just interested in knowing the precincts secrets."
"Because I know how much you like him, or did like him. And even though I think your making a huge mistake and that you should break up with him, but your happy with him, and when was the last time you were happy with a guy? Plus, despite his job, he seems like a good person" he added trying not to roll his eyes. Olivia nodded then gave him a small smile
"so what are we gonna do about Elliot?" Cragen shrugged
"I'm not sure, hell I don't even know what charges they were talking about. You want to fill me in?" Olivia sighed then sat down on the floor along with Cragen.
"Before I tell you, you gotta promise that you won't judge Elliot or me to quickly."
"I don't like where this is going but okay" Cragen said a little apprehensively.
"What we told you about Chris Jackson wasn't all true" she said feeling like a teenager explaining a stolen outfit to her parents
"well what was true?"
"You know how we said we found him all beaten up like that? Well um, Elliot did that" she said hurrying so that hopefully he wouldn't understand, but he did.
"He did what?" he said a little angrily
"it wasn't his fault cap!" she said defensively
"you should have heard the things he was saying about his daughter. I wanted to kill him, and any decent human being would have thought the same. But Elliot just acted on it." Cragen looked a little mad and shocked
"he put a man in a coma and your saying that any person would have done the same?"
"yes."
"oh my god" he said putting his head down.
"Cap you don't get it. The victim looked just like Lizzie, plus he started asking Elliot all about his daughter. If I was him I would have done the same thing."
"Let me let you in on a little secret Olivia" he said a little angry
"I've wanted to kill a lot of perps since I've been in this unit, but you hold back and control your impulses. You don't go and nearly kill a guy and beat him hard enough so that he goes into a coma!" he yelled at her.
"So, are you gonna try to get him out?" she said hopefully. Cragen shook his head in disbelief then turned towards her.
"Yeah, but both of you are gonna have a lot of desk duty coming up. Hell maybe even suspension if this Chris guy sues the city."
"What did I do?"
"you covered it up and didn't tell me, your just as guilty as he is." Olivia nodded, she knew he was going to be angry, and luckily he didn't fire either of them.
"I can't beleave this, I gotta go try to sort this out" he said standing up along with Olivia. He turned to her and his face softened
"so are you okay?" Olivia nodded
"yeah, I'll be okay." Cragen nodded then the both of them left the bathroom.
