So This is OZ
Olivia and Elliot walked into their apartment as about midnight. They both changed into sweats and sat together on the couch. Elliot was stretched out leaning his back against the arm rest. Olivia was laying between his legs with her head laying right under his chin, on his chest. Their fingers were intertwined and Olivia was examining her new ring. The silence between them was comfortable yet heavy. Thoughts of the undercover assignment and their new engagement were rushing through each of their heads. Finally, after about half an hour, Olivia broke the silence.
"El, I'm worried about this undercover assignment. Prisons are dangerous and if the inmates find out you are a cop . . . I am afraid to think what could happen to you."
Elliot brought their still clasped hands to his lips and kissed her hand. Olivia looked up at him with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Elliot kissed her forehead.
"It's going to be okay. I promise. No one will find out that I am a cop. You can come visit me every week and see for yourself that I am fine. Don't worry, I am going to be thinking of you the whole time, you will be my strength to get through anything. When I see your face in your visits, I will try my hardest to stay out of trouble and come back to you. Then we can get married and spend the rest of our lives wrapped in each other's arms."
"I hope your right. I don't know what I would do without you. You are my rock and keep me grounded . . . life just wouldn't be the same without you." As she told him this, she couldn't look into his eyes. He put a finger under her chin and turned her head so she had to look at him.
"Listen . . . Nothing is gonna happen," he assured her. "I will go, get the information they need, and be back in time to spend our first Christmas together and have a January wedding in the snow."
"Okay," she smiled, "You really want a January wedding in the snow? That would be great! How did you know I would love that?"
"I know you better than you think," he said with a smirk, "But right now we need to get some sleep. I have to be at the station and ready to go at seven. What were they thinking?"
"Yeah, good idea."
They got off the couch and went to their bedroom. Elliot climbed in and Olivia joined him shortly after. She snuggled up to his chest; she turned to face him.
"Good night, El. I love you."
"I love you too, Liv. G'night."
He leaned down to her and gave her a passionate kiss good night. Soon each fell asleep knowing this was the last time they would sleep in each other's arms for a long while to come.

7 am : 1-6 precinct
Elliot and Olivia walked into the bullpen the next morning with gloomy expressions on their faces.
"What's up guys? You look like you cat just died." Fin observed
"Very finny Fin, but nothing is really wrong. We just won't get to see each other everyday for a while. That's all." Elliot answered.
"Guys, it's okay. Olivia can visit you at OZ Elliot. Why are you all so sad, I thought you would enjoy a little break from one another," Cragen said as he walked up to his four detectives.
Elliot looked at Olivia, and she just nodded.
"Sir, can we talk in your office?"
"Sure, come on."
"Munch, Fin, y'all can come too."
They all entered the captain's office, "So, what's up Elliot."
"Sir, for the last eight months . . ." he looked at Olivia, "I … we … Olivia and I have been dating." He paused to gauge their captain's reaction.
"Oh, okay. Umm, why didn't you all say anything?"
"We were afraid you would split us up and we didn't want that. We wanted to tell you after we had been seeing each other for a while, so that you could see that we don't let the relationship affect the job. We also didn't want IAB to get wind of this. They are looking for any reason to hang either of us out to dry." Olivia supplied.
"Well, you two dating is not a problem. But you need to tell me as soon as this gets really serious, so I can take the proper action to cover this up and keep you together."
"Actually, sir, that's kinda why we needed to talk. Yesterday, at lunch, before the men from the prison showed up, I asked Olivia to marry me, and she accepted. So we are engaged."
"Oh … well, thanks for telling me. And a congratulations is in order. So congrats!" he stood and gave Olivia a hug and shook Elliot's hand.
"Thanks" Elliot offered.
"Sir … Don … I was wondering, since I don't have a father and you have been the closest thing to a father I have ever had … will you walk me down the aisle and give me away?" She asked nervously.
"I don't know what to say … it would be an honor. I can't believe you are asking me." He gave her another hug and a small peck on the cheek.
"I was hoping you would say yes, or I would have to get Munch to do it, and I don't want that."
"Hey, did you forget I was standing right here?" Munch questioned.
"Nope."
"Well, as much as I love this little moment, if you two don't want to get caught and we don't want to get caught in this conversation, you better stop talking and quit holding hands. Agent Tucker and those other guys just got here." Fin warned.
"Thanks Fin."
They all exited the office and met the men in the bullpen near Olivia and Elliot's desk. All the detectives gave Tucker a harsh look then greeted Glynn, McManus and Murphy. Murphy was carrying a large duffel bag and what looked to be a small backpack.
"So, Murphy, what's in the bag?"
"This is your new set of prison issue clothes, your orange travel and transport jumpsuit and your cuffs and chains."
"Oh, joy. I am so glad I asked."
"Here take this," he handed Elliot his clothes, "and get changed please. Hey, has anyone seen Cassidy?"
"Nope, he isn't here yet." Cragen answered.
Elliot went to the locker room to change. A minute or so after he left, Olivia followed, trying not to draw attention to herself. She walked in and he was standing there shirtless. Olivia came up behind Elliot and put her arms around his waist. He turned and gave her a sad smile.
"I was hoping you would come," he said before he leaned in and gave her a small kiss.
"Of course, I even have Fin guarding the door. That way if Tucker comes this way, we will know a head of time, and can stop fraternizing."
"Fraternizing … I like the sound of that."
"Have I ever told you this is my favorite outfit on you?"
"What? I'm not wearing anything but a pair of pants."
"Exactly," she said as she caressed his six pack abs, "
He leaned down and started to kiss her, he moved from her lips to her neck, then moved to nibbling on her ear. He knew that is what drove her crazy, so that was usually what he started with. She couldn't take much of the nibbling, so she grabbed his head and brought her lips to his. They weren't sure how long they stood there, but they broke apart when they heard the door open.
"Woa, so you weren't lying about the whole fiancé thing, huh?" Cassidy said as he entered the locker room with his own pair of clothes. "And I just thought that you were too embarrassed to admit that you still liked me in front of the squad, but I guess one of the squad already had your attention."
"Brian? When did you get here?" Olivia asked, some what embarrassed, "I thought Fin was guarding the door," she whispered to Elliot.
Brain heard that part and added, "He is guarding the door, he banged a couple of times before I came in, I just didn't know why, but I guess I do now. Were you guys that distracted that you couldn't here the warning? What if I would have been Tucker? Then you would realy be in deep shit."
"Yeah, we know. Well, Elliot, I will let you get back to changing and I will go out and start on paperwork."
"Okay Liv." He leaned in and gave her a small kiss; she then turned and walked out of the locker room.
Five minutes later, Elliot and Brian came out of the locker room dressed and ready to go. They each walked over to where everyone was standing and told them that they were ready.
"Okay," Glynn started, "we won't put the chains and cuffs on until we get outside the prison. We are going to go down to the van and let you all say your good byes, but, gentlemen, we need to leave in about fifteen minutes."
"Yes, sir." Elliot and Cassidy said in unison.
Warden Glynn, Tim McManus, CO Murphy and agent Tucker all left, leaving Fin, Munch, Cassidy, Cragen, Stabler and Benson in the bullpen alone. Everyone exchanged good byes and good lucks and promised to come visit. Then Cragen looked at Elliot, who was staring at Olivia, and then glanced at Olivia, who was looking at Elliot with the same intensity.
"Cassidy, why don't you go on down to the van, Elliot will be right there. Munch, Fin, come to my office please." Cragen said, he looked at Elliot and winked. Elliot looked back at him and mouthed 'Thank You.' Cassidy left and the others went to Cragen's office.
Elliot looked at Olivia for a second before giving her a passionate kiss. She out her arms around his neck and allowed the kiss to deepen. Elliot had his hands on Olivia's hips and pulled her closer to him. When he pulled away, he placed his forehead on hers and looked into her eyes.
"I am going to miss you," he said, stating the obvious.
"I'm going to miss you too. I love you, be safe. I'll find out when the first time I can come see you is and I will be there, I promise. Promise me you will stay out of trouble and try not to get hurt, I don't want you limping down the aisle."
"I promise, I will try to stay safe. I love you too. I think I have to go."
"Yeah, I think you do."
He gave her another kiss and a tight hug.
"I love you, and I will see you soon."
"I love you too, bye El."
"Bye Liv."
With that Elliot walked out of the bullpen and to the van waiting outside. He got in and took one last look at the 1-6.

Two and a half hours later: OZ parking lot
Elliot and Brain got out of the van and allowed Murphy to shackle their legs and cuff their arms. They were mesmerized by the size of the building. They looked at it wide eyed and looked like kids at a new toy store.
"Okay, fellas, follow me." Glynn led Stabler and Cassidy to the receiving area and sat them on the bench. Murphy then uncuffed and unshackled them. He then left to go check on EM City.
"Go to the counter and get your stuff from Said and then wait here until Officer Murphy comes back to escort you to EM City. You will be given sponsors that will show you the ropes and how things operate around here." McManus instructed.
McManus and Glynn then disappeared into the prison and Murphy returned with two prisoners in tow.
"Chris Keller," Elliot turned his head, "this is Tobias Beecher, he will be your sponsor in EM City. Ryan O'Reily," Brian then turned, "this is Timmy Kirk, he will be your sponsor. Now get your asses off that bench and follow them to your pods. You will get your work assignments tomorrow and dinner is in about 4 hours," Murphy instructed.
Stabler and Cassidy follow Toby and Timmy to EM City and to their respective pods. About thirty minutes later, after settling in, they met in the common area at a table that was set up for a chess game.
"So, this is OZ, huh?" Cassidy asked.
"Guess, so. Wanna play?"
"Sure."
They played chess until it was time for dinner. They then ate, came back, showered, went through COUNT and got locked up for the night. Tomorrow would be a big day for the two newest inmates of OZ …
