Chapter Six: Disclose

"I called the school and asked for your two louts." Munch said once Elliot entered the precinct, "They said they have no students under those names. They're going to send me the security tapes from the past three days in a few moments."

"Is this about your daughter, Elliot?" Gabriel asked.

Elliot nodded and sat down at his desk. He looked at his worn out partner; he looked like he hadn't slept for hours.

"I take it your date went well?" He asked.

Gabriel chuckled insinuatingly, it obviously did. He leaned back in his chair and folded his hands over his stomach.

"It was beyond that. She and I hit it off immediately." He leaned forward, ready to get into the details, "First I took her to a dinner, classy shit, then we went to the nightclub. We got hammered and the next thing I know, I'm waking up with her clothes on the floor. A fine Latina was next to me the whole night. It was more than just 'well'."

Elliot raised his eyebrows in false interest. He nodded and then went back to his papers. He could still hear Gabriel's cocky chuckles as he returned to his own documents. Gabriel's idea of a fun night disgusted Elliot. He believed in taking things slowly with a lover.

"It turns out those two kids raped my daughter twice. We have to find them before they attack someone else's child." He announced, mainly to Munch and Fin.

"Once Kathleen left to find help, they never entered the building. Also, the principle never said she's never seen them. They don't even go to the school." Munch told him.

"I was told she met them at a party the night before she was raped." Fin spoke up.

"Then how did they find her at school? She must've told them." Gabriel asked, seemingly uncaringly.

"Intelligence seems to be evolving every single day with this guy." Munch said sarcastically.

Gabriel looked at him, "Listen old man-"

"Gabe, let's focus on what's really important. Kay, man?" Fin asked irritably. He pointed to the screen with security tapes.

"Okay, bro." Gabriel said and walked over to the screen. He examined it carefully which gave Munch and Fin time to talk to Elliot.

"I don't like this guy. He doesn't do the work and he just sits around talkin' to some chick in a different language when you're not here." Fin whispered to Elliot.

"Yeah, I miss Olivia." Munch added.

Elliot didn't say anything. He only listened to them while he stared at the tapes.

"Hold up, pause that screen." Fin said and Gabriel paused the camera that overlooked the elementary school children. It paused right as Olivia dropped off Nikki and was approached by Kathleen.

"Who was that kid?" Fin asked.

"Her name is Nikki Harris." Olivia said from behind them, "Elliot and I helped her when her mother died two months ago and she's been living with me ever since."

Fin and Munch were surprised yet happy. Seeing Olivia gave them hope that Gabriel was leaving instantly. Elliot didn't really show any emotion. Gabriel approached her immediately.

"But enough about the tapes, who is this incredibly gorgeous woman?" He was teasing her as if every time he saw her she was just as amazing as when he first saw her.

"Gabriel, this is my former-"

Elliot's words were cut short when Gabriel pulled Olivia close to him and forced his lips against hers. What shocked everybody, especially Elliot, was that Olivia returned his kiss.

"If this is how they greet each other back where ol' Gabe's from, get me a few vacation days off and the next plane ticket there." Munch commented.

Elliot grabbed Gabriel's shoulder and tugged him off of Olivia.

"Listen Casanova, this unit focuses on saving lives and bringing justice, not wasting time and playing tonsil hockey. If you don't understand that, then go somewhere else to hit on women and let me do my job. It'll be much easier that way." Elliot said, jealousy coating every word that came out of his mouth. Gabriel chuckled arrogantly.

"El, it's fine." Olivia said. "Gabriel's my boyfriend."

Almost on cue, Gabriel pulled Olivia into his arms and cradled her. Elliot, Munch, and Fin, stared at the two in shock, vexation, and extreme confusion.

"How do you know Liv, Elliot?" Gabriel asked.

"She's my old partner." Elliot replied, really wanting to hit him square in the jaw.

"You didn't tell me that you were working here not to mention my old partner is your new one." Olivia told Gabriel with an amorous smile on her face and a loving gleam in her eyes. Elliot felt sick with jealousy but he didn't make it obvious.

"I didn't think it mattered." He replied.

"Liv, you never told me you had a boyfriend." Elliot said, referring to their previous night together but his voice played it off as a simple statement.

"I guess I wasn't ready yet." Olivia said. He could tell she got the message and the look in her eyes told him they'd talk about it later.

Elliot stared at her for a few seconds and then nodded, "Okay." He said softly and turned back to the security tapes. He paused one of them when Olivia noticed something significant. It was the image of a girl handing Kathleen a time and date for her party.

"Two days before the party, this girl gave her the invitation. Maybe she knows who the two boys are." Olivia said.

"That's Kathleen's friend, Ellie. Kathleen showed me her Faceunion page before. Maybe the people who were invited were blogging about it with her." Elliot explained, "But I can't access her page unless I have my own Faceunion account and become friends with her." He looked around at all the stares, "It's not like I've tried. Kathleen told me hundreds of times." He told them flatly.

"You don't need an account." Olivia said, making her way towards the keyboard, "I can access the information easily. Colleges and employers do it all the time when considering applicants." She said her fingers danced across the keyboard, entering foreign codes and web pages right before their eyes. In a matter of minutes, Ellie's webpage was in full view.

"Where are we on this case?" Cragen asked, emerging from his office and making his way towards the screens. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he noticed Olivia among the group.

"Well, Olivia just uncovered some new evidence and she's been talking to the victim for the past few days. I think she should be assigned to this case with us." Munch told him. Cragen looked at the others who nodded in agreement.

Cragen thought about it for a moment and went into his office. He came back out with a gold shield badge and a gun. He handed them to Olivia and left the group with final words before they officially began their case:

"Don't disappoint me."
