Olivia sat quietly trying to read the file that was laying on her but she kept reading the same line over and over instead she started tapping her pen on the desk trying to keep her mind from wondering. She leaned back in her chair and checked her watch. Soon the tapping escalated to her clicking the top of her pen. "Do you mind?" Munch growled "Some of us are actually working."

"Sorry John." Olivia tossed the pen down on her desk and rested her elbows on the arm rests of her chair. "Have you heard from Elliot?" before Munch could answer MaKayla strolled in carrying a box full of picture frames.

"You must the teacher's pet" Munch said to MaKayla as she sat the box down on the empty desk behind Fin

"Excuse me?" MaKayla stopped pulling the pictures out of the box to turn and look at Munch. The expression on her face showed that she was truly confused by the question.

"You are the Captain's new little project. All he's been talking about lately is Detective Mason this, and Detective Mason that. You are Detective Mason right?"Munch asked hoping hadn't just made a fool of himself.

"Yeah, my name is MaKayla. What gave me away?" she returned to her box pulling out the rest of her things.

"Well MaKayla, it could be that you just emptied your box crap onto that desk or maybe it was your hot pink crime fighting shoes." Munch's comment made Olivia look down at MaKayla's shoes, not only were they hot pink but plaid as well with a little on the tops. Olivia just rolled her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair.

"I'm sorry Liv" Elliot was standing at the coat rack taking off his coat and scarf. "Kathy freaked out last night because we didn't have the crib set up yet so I spent all night putting it together. I didn't even have time for a shower so meeting for breakfast was out of the question."

"I can tell."She grinned "No offence but you look like hell."

"Aw thanks." Elliot glanced over at MaKayla who was sitting in her chair looking around like a lost puppy. "How is she doing?" he asked finally sitting down at his desk.

"She is well.." Olivia looked down at MaKayla's shoes again. "Interesting."

"Who's catching?" Cragen called from the doorway of his office.

"That would be me." Elliot stood up and walked back toward the coat rack, he handed Olivia her coat and then grabbed his own.

"Good, why don't you two take MaKayla with you, let get a feel for things" Cragen walked back into his office before anyone could protest.

Olivia closed her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose then walked quickly toward the elevator. Elliot pulled MaKayla's coat off the rack as well and tossed it to her then hurried to catch up with Olivia.
