A/N: Sorry for the long time between updates. I am having a hard time finding the exact words to use.

What to do?

Elliot walked back into the common area of EM City and was immediately intercepted by Vern Schillinger and James Robson.

"Hey, sweetpea, how's the arm?"

"Fine, Vern. What do you want?"

"Well, I was just coming to inform you that the brotherhood has decided to give you our protection in return for periodic favors," Schillinger voiced.

"Favors?... Do I want to know?"

"We need you to take care of someone for us."

"Take care? Incapacitate or rid the world of?"

"Incapacitate. He doesn't need to die…just yet. We just need him out of the way for a while."

"Okay, who?" I can't believe I am agreeing to this, Elliot thought.

"Tobias Beecher," Robson interjected.

"Beecher? As in my cellmate?"

"The one and only."

"Okay. What do you want me to do?"

"We will let you decide that. We just want it done. You have until tomorrow at dinner. If it isn't done by then you will regret it."

"Sure, whatever."

"I'm glad we understand each other."

Em City Common Area

"Hey, K-boy! Who came to see ya?" Brian asked Elliot.

Elliot wanted to say Olivia, but he also wanted to say my fiancé. He wasn't sure he wanted to tell Brian, but he then decided that he should go ahead and let him know, so he will leave her alone from now on.

"It was my fiancé," he answered. Brian gave him an odd look.

"Really? I didn't know you were engaged."

"Yeah, just recently."

"Anyone I know?"

Here goes nothing, Elliot thought. "Yeah actually. It's Olivia."

"Olivia? Olivia Benson?" he asked somewhat stunned.

"Yeah. We got engaged a few days ago."

Brian just nodded. I thought she didn't date people she works with. I can't believe she dumped me for him, he thought to himself. This isn't fair!

"I'm happy for you," Brian mumbled.

"Thanks." Elliot gave Brian an odd look. He wasn't sure why Brian seemed to be upset. The only thing he could think of was that Olivia had dumped him a few years ago. Brian abruptly left the table and headed towards the phone room. He picked up the phone in the corner of the room and dialed a familiar number.

RING RING RING

"Benson"

"Hi, Olivia."

"What do you want?" she asked with annoyance.

"I want to know what changed."

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

"Stabler. I want to know why. You wont date someone you work with when we were together, but suddenly Stabler gets divorced and is single again and you jump his bones at first opportunity. I loved you Olivia. I still love you. I just can't figure it out."

"I don't know what to say. We were together because we got drunk. It was a one time thing. But with El, I am deeply in love with him. He has made me change so many of my personal rules and I can't thank him enough for that. Sorry, Brian. I never loved you. What we did was a mistake, but this thing with Elliot is real and exciting and the best thing that has ever happened to me," she explained. "Elliot told me about how you met someone. Go with her, forget about me. Let me live the life I want to with El and you go and try to live a life with this new person."

"Olivia, no one will ever compare to you. Everyone will always be second best."

"I am flattered, but I am happy with Elliot. So I am going to hang up now. Bye Brian."

After Lockdown for the Night – Before Lights Out

"Hey Toby, can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Whatever I say has to stay between us for my safety and yours."

"Okay…I can do that."

"Well, then I think we should start with introductions-"

"But, I already know who you are, Chris," Toby interrupted.

"No, you don't. My name is Detective Elliot Stabler. I am with the NYPD and I was place here to help the Feds build a case against Vern Schillinger. That is why I was put here with you."

Toby was stunned. "Wow, I wasn't expecting that." Elliot just nodded and gave Toby a moment to let what he just heard sink in. "Why did you tell me? You could get you ass kicked if I told anyone."

"I know, and I trust you won't. The reason I told you is because I am supposed to incapacitate you. I had to get Vern to accept me and have been granted his protection if I hurt you. I don't want to, that just isn't who I am."

"Oh. What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I have til dinner tomorrow to hurt you, or I will feel the pain … again," he said while glancing at his arm.

"Have you considered telling Glynn."

"Yeah, but conspiracy won't do anything. I have to figure out how to not hurt you, but still make him think I did, so I can stay in his group. I am so confused."

"I would be too. Thanks for the warning though."

"Yeah. I think I just need to sleep on it. How much longer til lights out?"

"Uh … probably an hour or so. You want to play chess or something?"

"Sure."

The Next Day – Dinner

Chris was sitting at the end of one of the tables talking with Augustus Hill, Bob Rebadow, and Ryan O'Reily. Vern walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Sweetpea," he said with a grin, "let's talk."

"Sure. See ya guys."

They walked towards the gate and then out towards EM City.

"I was informed that Beecher is in the hospital. Good job. You now have no worries. You have the protection of the brotherhood and by extension, the bikers."

"Thanks. It wasn't hard. He is a wimpy bitch. Couldn't touch me."

"I knew you could do it. See you later."

"Later," Elliot said. Vern turned to leave and didn't see the grin on Elliot's face.

What happened to Beecher? What did Elliot do? Small cliffhanger! R & R please.
