"Once I get out of court" Alex began, her lips brushing against Olivia's before moving across to the spot just behind her ear "I can come pick you up for dinner."

Olivia, who was so entranced by the ADA's lips sucking and kissing the tender spot behind her ear, almost couldn't speak, so instead just nodded and muttered "' M'kay" Before her speaking capabilities were further impeded by Alex's lips on hers, their tongues fighting for dominance.

Pushing Olivia up against the section of wall hidden from view in the hallway by the bookcase, Alex intertwined her fingers in Olivia's dark hair, holding the detective to her. Olivia kissed back with renewed vigor, the prospect of having so little time to make love with her girlfriend forcing her to move faster than normal. Just as Alex's hands were about to dip below the waist line of Olivia's pants there was a sharp knock on the door. It startled Alex and Olivia so badly that both women went tumbling to the floor. They landed, unceremoniously, on top of each other.

A second knock and Carl Light, the defense attorney for the case Alex was prosecuting today, saying "Alex, are you in there?"

Rolling her eyes as she sat down in the chair behind her desk, Alex said "Yes, Carl, I'm in here. What do you want?"

The door opened and the defense attorney stepped in, a blue sheet of paper clutched in his hands "I'm here to inform you that I'm filing a motion to exclude evidence, namely the DNA sample your detectives recovered illegally from my client." He said, handing the paper to Alex.

"What?" Alex said "On what grounds?"

Carl glanced over at Olivia, who was now sitting on the couch and looking down at her phone "My client was provoked into punching one of the detectives and thus allowing them to arrest him."

Alex let out a snort of amusement "That's your reason. You're saying that the collection was illegal because your client was arrested. Last time I checked there is such a charge as 'assaulting a police officer' and punching Detective Benson in the face qualifies as assaulting a police officer. Therefore your client was arrested for that crime and the DNA they collected from him later connected him to the three rape-homicides. I see nothing illegal about it."

"Did Detective Benson explain to you what she said that provoked my client into acting violently?"

This time it was Alex turn to look at Olivia, who now looking at Carl in confusion "I told him that he needed to come down to the station to answer a few questions in regards to his whereabouts." She said

Carl sneered 'Right, I think you're forgetting the part where you told him that he was going o be arrested and sent to prison where, and I quote 'he'll get some of his own medicine.' That is more than enough to provoke any man into violence."

Olivia opened her mouth to say something but Alex beat her to it "Actually Carl, I think that Mr. Langston's violent outburst proves his guilt. Why else would he be so afraid of going to prison? If he was innocent than 'his own medicine' would have been nothing. And nothing is certainly not a reason to get violent. Rape on the other hand…" she trailed off

"That doesn't make what the fact that my client was provoked any less important." He retorted

"Fine." Alex said with a sigh "You explain your side to Judge Petrovsky and I'll be sure to mention the fact that Mr. Langston has already been arrested three times for assaulting a police officer. I'll also mention that in none of those cases had the officers even come up to Mr. Langston to talk to him. It seems like Mr. Langston just has a history of violent outbursts when cops are around."

Carl stuttered, his mouth opening and closing like a goldfish.

"Oh" Alex said, a smirk no playing on her lips "I'll also make sure that Judge Petrovsky knows that one of the three officers Mr. Langston has assaulted was her son-in-law."

"I'll see you in court." Carl Light said, clearly agitated, as he walked out the door, slamming it shut as he did so.

There was a beat of silence as Alex and Olivia's eyes met and then Olivia said "I wouldn't want to be him in twenty minutes."

Alex laughed "Petrovsky will shoot down his motion in ten seconds."

"Will the trail go as quickly?" Olivia asked, her tone hopeful.

Alex shook her head "No, Light's motion may have been a last ditch attempt at getting out of a trial but my witness is shaky on the stand, he could tear her apart on the stand." She explained, then glanced at her watch "I've got to go, there are a other few pre-trail things I need to take care of before I go and face off with Light."

Olivia nodded, standing up and grabbing Alex's briefcase off of the couch next to her "Call me when you're out of court." She said, leaning in for a kiss.

"Will do." Alex said, complying with the kiss then standing up and walking over to the door "You can stay here if you want, just remember to close the door on your way out."

Olivia nodded "I'm just going to grab something out of the fridge in back then I'll head back to the precinct."

"Kay" Alex said, flashing a smile and walking out of her office.

A few minutes later Olivia followed suit, making sure to close the door behind her. Just as she was about to enter the elevator she heard someone call out her name "Olivia!"

Turning around she saw Judge Elizabeth Donnelly standing in her the doorway to her office "Judge Donnelly." Olivia said "How can I help you." She asked

"I just would like to have a word with you." She said, disappearing back into her office.

Olivia followed suit, already her mind was whirring as she scanned her brain trying to figure out what Elizabeth Donnelly could want. There wasn't very many options, let's be honest, it wasn't like Olivia and Judge Donnelly had very many encounters beyond the court room. Alex on the other hand was very close with Donnelly, and that was beyond the court room.

Olivia knew bits and pieces of Alex's past. She knew that Alex and her mother had never really gotten along, their relationship had tanked after Alex came out of the closet. Donnelly had taken Alex in, and they had grown close. That in mind, Olivia was pretty sure she knew what this conversation was going to entail, Elliot had already talked to Alex about it.

"How can I help you?" Olivia said, walking into the spacious office of Elizabeth Donnelly and taking the seat offered by the judge.

The judge looked at Olivia for a moment before speaking "Alexandra has told me that you are currently encaged in a relationship with her."

"We are."

"I've known Alexandra for a long time Olivia, longer than you have. I've seen her go through some of the worst experiences of her life. Now, there have been times when she's been happy but those times have been few and far between. Every relationship she gets in goes no where because they don't understand the crazy hours, the demand of the job, they don't get it. You make her happy Olivia and if you do anything, let me stress anything, to make her unhappy. If you hurt her in any way, I will make your job a living hell. A few words to the judges and suddenly getting a search warrant could be very difficult for you."

Olivia nodded, the threatening tone in the judge's voice not missed by her "I respect the fact that you have Alex's well being at heart but you have nothing to worry about. I love her more than anything."

"That's encouraging to hear Olivia, just remember my warning."

"I will." Olivia said and whatever she was about to say was punctuated by the ringing of Olivia's cell phone "Benson." Pause "Alright, I'll be there in ten." She said and looked up at Judge Donnelly "Child homicide in Hells Kitchen." She explained

"Go do your job Detective." Donnelly said "And Olivia" she said as the detective walked towards the door "You're the best thing that's happened to Alex, always remember that."
