Casey looked through a box of jewelry in Chad's office. She opened another box under it and found a load of cash in it. She let out a deep breath and picked one deck of bills up. She flipped through it and all were one hundred dollar bills.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

She jumped to Chad's voice. She looked up and he was standing there with his new girlfriend behind him. "Chad…I"

"Stealing my money now?" He yelled as he moved toward her.

Casey stepped back being afraid of him.


Nick and Olivia ran down the hall and into the office where the yelling was coming from.

Chad had his hand up and was about to hit Casey. Nick jumped on his back and pulled him down. He punched him and stood in front of Casey "Don't even think about it"

Chad wiped his noise and got off the floor.

Olivia gave the new woman a mean look and then turned her attention back to her friends.

"Stupid whore" Chad mumbled looking at Casey.

Nick punched him in the face "Try that again"

Chad wiped his nose and swung at Nick. Nick duct and hit him in the ribs. Chad fell down and wrapped his arms around his stomach.

Nick took all the money from Casey's hand and walked out. He went to the master bathroom across the hall and flushed all the money down the toilet. "Happy now Chad?" He yelled out as he walked back to him and kneeled down. "I hope your whore is better you stupid son of a bitch"

"You're going to let him talk to me that way?" The woman yelled at Chad.

"Stay out of this Tiffany" Chad let out a groan.

"Sweetheart he will dump you after he abuses you a little more. Hope you get enough money" Nick smiled and got up. "Psst Chad" He whispered "I own you for the rest of your miserable life" He kicked him in the ribs and took Casey's hand. "We're gone" He led Casey out of the room.

Tiffany smiled a little at Casey. Before Casey could stop herself she slapped her across the face. Tiffany swung at Casey but Olivia grabbed her arm.

"Go Casey" Olivia instructed as she kept staring at Tiffany. Casey said nothing and walked out.

Nick pulled his gun out "Now we are going to walk out and never hear from you again. Is that understood?" He asked pointing his gun at Chad on the ground. Chad nodded as he let some coughs out. "Good" He took Olivia's hand and led her out.


All three kept quiet as they sat in the car. Olivia was driving and Nick was by her. Casey sat in the back and kept looking out the window.

Nick finally turned around and looked at her "You ok kid?"

Casey slightly nodded as she kept looking out the window "Never felt better"

"Liar" He mumbled and turned around. He looked at Olivia "You ok?"

"Fine" She answered "Anyone hungry?"

"For food?" Nick asked.

Casey hit him upside the head "Ass" Olivia just smiled a little and Nick shrugged.

"Baseball and pizza anyone?" Nick asked looking at the girls "I feel like hitting some balls"

Olivia smirked a little in his direction "Can we use yours Nicholas?"

"Eww" Casey said disgustedly "Don't flirt like that in front of me"

"Sorry honey" Olivia smiled a little and shrugged.

Nick leaned in by Olivia "I bet Chad had no balls like me" He whispered with a smile.

"Eww!" Casey yelled from the back seat.

"Stop listening!" Nick yelled back "I whispered it"

"No more flirting in front of me," Casey ordered.

"Fine" Nick leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Fine" Casey crossed her arms on her chest.

Olivia tried to hold her giggles "Fine" Both siblings looked at her "I didn't want to feel left out" She explained.


Casey sat at a picnic table eating her pizza as she watched her best friend and older brother on the field flirting and sort of playing baseball.

Olivia kept playfully trying to hit him in the crotch with the bat and he was trying to show her how to swing the bat. Casey smiled a little and took a bite of her pizza.

He wrapped his arms around Olivia from the back "Get a tight grip"

Olivia giggled a little "Can't even wait for our date huh Mr. Novak?"

Nick smirked and started to blush "Shut up and listen to me"

"That reminded me of Casey."

Nick moved away "That's it. Learn baseball by yourself"

Olivia grabbed his arm "Ok I'm done. C'mon no more jokes"

"No more aiming the bat at me?"

Olivia shrugged innocently "I can't give everything up Nicky"

Nick took a deep breath and shook his head "You're lucky you're my friend"

"You're lucky I let you be my friend"

"That I am" He smiled and wrapped his arms around her from the back. He gripped the baseball bat over her hands "Firm grip. Don't giggle"

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Party Pooper"

He ignored her small, cute comment "Lift your elbow up"

"Should I stick my ass out as well Nicholas?" Olivia teased with a smirk.

"It does help when hitting the ball" He smirked a little "I swear" He tried to hold his breath as he felt her press her body more to his.

"Like that?" Olivia whispered flirtatiously

"Yea. Like that" He whispered back as he rested his chin on her shoulder "Now you swing" He slowly swung the bat with her. "Not so hard right?"

This caused a huge laugh from Olivia. Nick just shook his head at her. "I'm sorry" She tried to stop her laughing since she was very hyper for some reason, "You should have heard it the way I heard it Nick, I'm sorry"

Nick smiled a little "I'm going to get you something to drink so you can keep your mouth shut" He teased with a wink and walked down the field. He went over to Casey who was playing with her straw. "Hey shorty"

Casey waved back a little "Hi"

He sat down by her "What's wrong?"

She just shrugged "I feel alone"

"Oh. Do you want me to call Olivia-"

"No. Not alone like that. I mean…never mind" She shook her head and picked the pepperoni off her pizza since it reminded her of Chad since he liked pepperoni.

"You mean…" He thought for a second "Like…sexual male company?"

Casey smiled a little and nodded "If you must know, yes"

He nodded "Oh. I didn't need to know" He shook his head "You want to go home?"

"No it's fine, you two are still picking on each other," Casey answered with a smile "I'm having fun with my pizza anyway"

"Why don't you join us? Olivia needs a distraction from me anyway. She's very hyper. She giggles at everything I say," Nick answered with a smile as he placed a hand on his sister's back. "C'mon you like baseball"

Casey shrugged "I don't know"

He took her hand and pulled her up "C'mon" He led her up the field to Olivia "I'm getting ice cream or soda. What do you want?"

"Ice cream" Olivia quickly answered.

"No. You have enough sugar" Nick answered with a smirk "What kind of soda do you want Olivia?"

"Chocolate soda" Olivia teased in giggles.

"Sprite it is" He smiled and went down the field since he knew what kind of soda Casey drank.

Casey smiled a little at Olivia "You're really weird today"

"It's not my fault. Nick has that affect on me" She shrugged and swung her bat in the air. "Imagine if Elliot saw me with a bat in my hyper moments. He would run"

"I think you're scaring my brother and he came back from a war"

"Aw thanks sweetie" Olivia rolled her eyes "Hey you don't have a problem with us going out do you?"

"You two act like a couple anyway. A weird, giggly couple but still. What are you going to ask him out?"

"Well we have a date tonight" Olivia answered with a shrug "I just don't want you to feel weird"

"Trust me, you going out doesn't scare me. You and him flirting in a sexual way does" Casey nodded a little at her "Just don't make out or say sexual things around me and we're fine"

Olivia smiled and nodded "Deal"


Casey was lying on the couch and lazily flipping channels on the TV. Nick came out of his room wearing faded blue jeans, a dress shirt and his leather jacket. "How do I look?"

Casey looked over at him "Since when do you ask me?"

"Since I have a date with your best friend" He answered, "Do I look sexy?"

"From Casey point of view, no." She answered with a smirk "From Olivia's point of view, yes"

"If you were Olivia would you kiss me?"

Casey threw a pillow at him "I refuse to answer that"

"Fine. Don't help me get laid. See if I care" He shrugged and sat down on the couch to tie his shoes. "Why don't you go out tonight?"

"I got nowhere to go," She answered with a shrug.

"Just because Chad isn't around doesn't mean you can't go to clubs or something. Call Melinda or some chick and go out" He encouraged her "You can't just sit here you know? You need male company like you said"

"I would go with Olivia but you are going out with her tonight" Casey smiled a little as she kept watching TV.

"Don't make me feel guilty about my date with her" He got up and put cologne on. "I don't come around nice girls that often"

"Oh I know" Casey nodded. "You hurt Olivia and I will kill you. I know you are my brother but Olivia is more cool then you"

He rolled his eyes and fixed his leather jacket "I won't hurt her." he shrugged a little and sat down by her "I actually kind of like her"

"Eww mushy Nick Novak. Get away" Casey teased.

"Fine. I have to pick her up anyway" He gave her a kiss on the cheek as he got off the couch "Go out and have fun ok?"

"I'll think about it"

He nodded "Don't wait up for me" He smiled and left the house.


Olivia and Nick walked down the sidewalk after their date. Olivia had her arm wrapped around his.

"I like this jacket" She smiled a little as she got closer to him.

"You should. You were with me when I bought it" He moved closer and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Did you move or something? I feel like I have been walking you to your apartment for a decade"

Olivia looked around "Oh god we passed it"

He pointed across the street "Right?"

She turned around and spotted her building "Ok. We didn't pass it" She walked across the street and he followed "Um…you want to come in?" She asked as she played with her keys in front of the building.

He stepped closer to her "Do you want me to come in?"

"I want you to come in only if you want to come in," She countered.

"Ok you lost me" he threw his hands in the air "Yes, I would love to come in"

Olivia nodded a little and unlocked her building. She led him up the stairs to her door. "I want to give you a tour but you have been in here already a lot of times."

"I haven't seen it for a long time. Maybe you switched furniture" He shrugged "Give me a tour"

Olivia smiled and unlocked the door. She flipped the light switch and threw her keys on the table.

"Yea, you didn't change a thing," he teased.

"Well kind of hard being at work all the time and taking care of Casey"

"I appreciate you doing that" He stepped next to her "How can I pay you back for that?"

She looked over at him. She smiled a little "I don't know"

"I think we can think of something," He whispered as he took her face in her hands and kissed her.

Olivia broke the kiss "I want you to respect me"

"I do respect you"

She nodded "Ok" She started to kiss him now and pulled his jacket off as they stumbled to her room.

Nick pulled her shirt over her head and threw her on the bed. He smirked and sat down on top of her. He glanced over at the nightstand for a second and spotted a picture of Casey and Olivia together. He quickly flipped the photo so he couldn't see it.

Olivia smiled a little and pulled him down to kiss him. She unbuckled his belt and then started to unbutton his shirt. "You smell good I tell you that?" She whispered.

He slid down and kneeled by the bed as he unbuckled her jeans "No you didn't but thanks" He gently slid them off and kissed her legs. He gently moved up her body.

Olivia pulled his shirt off and let it drop to the floor. They gently met each other's lips again and started to kiss.


Olivia woke up with the sun in her eyes. She turned around and cuddled next to Nick who was awake and staring at the ceiling. "Morning" She whispered with a smile.

He looked over realizing she was awake even if her eyes were still closed. "Morning" He gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"I like you army men. You don't just leave in the morning," She whispered as she opened her eyes and looked up at him "Hi there Nicholas"

He smiled a little finding it cute how she always found different forms of his name to call him. "Hi there Olivia."

She smirked a little and pulled the blankets over them more. Olivia was only wearing his dress shirt and panties and he only had his boxers on. "Last night was amazing"

"Agreed" he gave her a kiss and turned toward her nightstand for his cell phone. Olivia traced the tattoo he had on his back as he checked his phone calls and messages. He smiled a little and flipped on his stomach as she kept touching his tattoo.

She lightly kissed his back where it arched under his neck since his tattoo was there. He listened to all his messages and finally closed his phone. His smile was gone. Olivia noticed it and rested her chin on his shoulder "What's wrong?" She whispered.

He put his phone down on the nightstand "I have to go" he said quietly as he took the blanket off him. Olivia moved away as he got off the bed.

"C'mon stay for breakfast," She offered.

"No Olivia" He pulled his jeans up "I have to go out of the country. I'm being deployed" he got off the bed and zipped his jeans up. He took his watch and pulled it on "I'm sorry"

Olivia nodded a little "Ok" She whispered. She wasn't sure what to say at that moment. She wanted him to stay for Casey and her. Her? Since when did Olivia Benson need a man? She quickly shook the thought out of her head. "When do you have to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning" He answered as he pulled his tank top on. He put his belt on and buckled it "I…I don't want to tell Casey. It'll break her"

Olivia nodded "I know. You have to though"

He nodded and grabbed his leather jacket "Keep my shirt. You look good in it" He smiled and gave her a kiss "See you later?"

"I hope so" She smirked and returned the kiss "Stop by the precinct, I'm pretty sure the guys will want to see you before you leave again"

"I will if Casey doesn't kill me before the afternoon" He pulled his leather jacket on and gave her another kiss "Bye" he turned around and left her apartment.


Nick walked into his house quietly not to wake up his baby sister. He went to his room and she was still sleeping. She was in her sweats and boxes of cookies were on his nightstand.

He took his jacket off and threw it on the other side of his bed where Casey wasn't spread out. He cleaned the nightstand from the mess she made and started to clean his room from all her clothes that were thrown everywhere because of her depression.

Casey shifted a little and lay on his jacket. It smelled just like him from his nice cologne he wore all the time. She opened her eyes and saw him looking through a photo album that was on the floor in the corner "What are you doing?"

He looked over at her realizing she was awake "Looking at your past" He answered as he looked down at the pictures of her and Chad "I'm burning these"

"No, you're not"

"Oh yes I am" He answered as he flipped the page of the photo album "You're depressed looking at these"

"They are my pictures" She quickly got up to get the album but he lifted it over his head since he was taller then her by a good number of inches. "Nick"

"Casey" He mocked.

"Give me the pictures," She ordered.

"Get taller" he provoked with a smirk "Why do you need these pictures?"

"Because I married him. He is part of my life"

"Was part of your life" Nick corrected, "You don't need him"

Casey jumped to get the pictures but Nick wrapped his arm around her from the back and she couldn't move since he was stronger. "Let go" She ordered angrily "Shouldn't you be at Olivia's?"

"Been there. Done that" he teased to get her mad and took off running. Casey chased right after him. Nick ran down to his basement and stood behind the pool table. "Get away Casey Ashley Novak"

"Give me the pictures Nicholas Ethan Novak," She ordered as she grabbed the pool stick "I will hit you"

"HA!" he yelled in amusement "I'm in the army you brat I get in fights with pool sticks regularly"

"Don't call me a brat"

"Brat" He provoked "Want your pictures shorty?"

"Yes. Give me" She moved toward him. He moved back. "Give"

"No. Fight for them" He teased with a smile. "You still have fight in you. The way you should have hit him today but didn't"

"I had you there Nick"

"I'm not always going to be around to beat up the guys that mess with you heart"

She made an attempt to retrieve the pictures. He quickly shoved the pictures in his pants. "Jerk!" She yelled angrily.

He laughed a little "Still want them?"

She grabbed the end of the pool stick and hit him in the crotch. He fell to the ground in pain "Still have them?" She smiled proudly and walked away.

Nick groaned "Deployed"

Casey stopped at the stairs and turned to look at him "What?"

He slowly got off the floor and took the pictures out of his pants. "I'm being deployed tomorrow morning. I'm sorry."

Casey just looked at him as tears filled her eyes. "I hate you" She whispered and went up the stairs angrily.
