The next morning Olivia is in her apartment and is having a cup of orange juice when someone buzzes her apartment.

"Who is it?"

"It's El"

"Come on up"

Olivia buzzes him in and about 2 minutes later she hears Elliot knock at the door and she opens it, and smiles.

"Hey"

"Hi"

"You don't have to drive me home and drop me off everyday"

"I do until this creep Mason is off the street"

She turns around and walks towards the kitchen and sets down her orange juice on the table. Elliot walks in behind her and closes the door.

"We should talk" said Olivia

"I know "

"What are we gonna do I mean like I said last night Elliot we're partners and your married and I don't want you to lose Kathy and I don't want…"

"Liv"

Cutting her off

"When I got home last night, Kathy had this whole romantic dinner and house to ourselves thing set up and when I saw it………I had to tell her"…"She kicked me out"

Olivia looked at him for a second feeling really guilty "Elliot I'm so sorry"

"No don't be, I'm actually not really upset about it. I'm kinda glad she kicked me out"

"Really?" she said not believing him

"Yeah Olivia last night was perfect and all I want is to be with you"

"So…what now?"

"Well since I have been kicked out of my house I don't really…"

Cutting him off

"You can stay here"

He smiled and looked at her.

"Well if you insist"

"I do" she said smiling

Olivia took his hand and kissed him on the lips.

"We can just deal with the whole us being partners' thing as we go along"

Elliot's cell phone rang.

"Stabler"

"Hey Elliot its Cragen, pick up Olivia and meet us at 214 W 43st, Olivia's new stalker friend raped and murdered another woman"

"Ok, we'll be there"

"What's up" said Olivia

"He raped and murdered another woman we gotta meet cragen and the rest of them at the crime scene"

She took a deep sigh "OK, let's go"

She picked up her things and Elliot picked up her orange juice and took a big gulp and followed her out the door. Olivia and Elliot arrive at the scene about 30 minutes later. She was found by a dumpster next to an abandon apartment building.


"So what do we got" said Elliot

"Well if I didn't know any better I'd say it was Olivia's sister, this guy must really have a thing for you Liv" said Warner

"Yeah thanks for reminding me"

"Well she was raped then stabbed to death, plenty of fluids and he left the knife sticking out of her just like the others victims" said Warner.

"How old was she?" said Olivia

"27" said Warner

"Any ID?" said Elliot

"No…her wallet is empty" said Warner

Fin and munch see the two of them and walk over.

"Hey, we're pretty much done here except for a couple of things, so you guys can just meet us back at the squad if you want" said Fin

"Ok see ya back at the house" said Elliot


Olivia and Elliot are in the squad car on their way back to the squad.

"So how is this gonna work Elliot?"…"I mean if cragen finds out, then we can't be partners anymore"

"We'll then we just have to make sure that he doesn't find out"

She smiles at him and puts her hand on his leg.

"You know there's a hotel coming up…" he says playfully

"Elliot!"

"I'm just kidding"

She smiles and rolls her eyes at him.

"Besides I wanna find this guy before he decides that it's you turn, I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to you Liv"

"Well I've got my new boyfriend to protect me now" noticing she said boyfriend without even thinking about it

"Boyfriend?" said Elliot

Olivia looked away embarrassed. Elliot put his hand on her thigh.

"I like the sound of that" and he took her and held it.

She looked at him and blushed a little bit.


They get to the squad room and there are flowers on Olivia's desk. She walks over and picks up the card and reads…

"She reminded me of you - Mason"

"You holdin out on us Olivia" said cragen

"No they are from him; he said that the victim reminded him of me"

She hands cragen the card, and Elliot reads over his shoulder. After they read it they look at her.

"I guess looking like me is a death sentence" she says feeling guilty

"It's not your fault Olivia" said Elliot

"I know that but" shaking her head

"It's ok to be scared Olivia"

"I'm not scared El!" yelling at him

"Ok…I'm sorry"

"I'm fine ok…I just need some air" she grabs her coat and walks out the door

Olivia is walking down the side walk a few blocks from the squad thinking about this Mason guy and thinking about Elliot at the same time and trying to put it all together and figure out everything when something hits her on the back of the head.
