Addy was angry. She didn't care about planning anymore. Every plan that she had, had gone out the window. She just didn't care. Her rage was getting the best of her whether she knew it or not.

She stormed into the DA building and immediately stalked over to the front desk secretary. The secretary looked like she was occupied with typing something on her computer, but as before, Addy just didn't care. "You, where's Carmichael's office?" she asked hurriedly.

"Do you have an appointment." The secretary asked snidely with out looked up from her computer. Addy scowled and pointed a gun in the woman's face. "Does it look like I need an appointment?" she responded through grit teeth.

The secretary paled as she stared down the barrel of the gun. "S-She's in her office. F-Fifth floor." She stuttered. Addy smiled. "Thank you." she stalked off to the elevator nearly knocking over a few interns in the process.

Addy found herself pacing in the elevator until she heard the ding signaling that she had arrived to her destination. Quickly she almost ran out of the elevator, her rage pushing her to the limits. She sprinted down a hallway until she found the office that had 'A. Carmichael' etched into the name plate.

She opened the door and found the brunette writing on her legal pad. "You, stand up." she ordered closing the door behind her. She watched as Abbie jumped, dropping her pen in the process. "What the hell?" Abbie asked as she moved her chair away from her desk, trying to put as much distance between her and Addy as she possibly could.

Addy visibly winced, "God can you just not talk, your damn accent gives me a head ache." She commented. Abbie scowled, "Bitch you came into MY office." The brunette said sternly.

Grunting in irritation Addy pulled her gun back out and pointed it at the attorney. "Shut up, shut up, shut up! Get in the corner!" she ordered sternly. Abbie visibly surrendered and put her hands up and hobbled over to the corner. "Alex? Can you put the gun away? Please?" Abbie asked in a different tone of voice.

Addy laughed bitterly, but kept the gun trained on her. "Are you begging Carmichael? That doesn't seem like you." she spat. She laughed at how long she was able to keep up the 'Alex' charade. "God you're even more stupid than you look. They make anyone prosecutors now don't they?"

"What are you doing here?" Abbie asked ignoring the insult, as she tried to mask her fear. "You don't know how badly I want to kill your right now." Addy responded. She was about to say something else but before she could when she heard a voice behind her. "Abbie? What's going on?" Addy spun around, keeping the gun on Abbie, but was met with a confused looking Casey standing in the doorway.

Momentarily taking the gun off of Abbie, she pointed it at the redhead, "Get in here, and get next to her in the corner." She watched Casey nodded quickly and move next to Abbie in the corner. "I should have killed both of you when I had the chance. I don't know why I was holding back." She said more to herself than the other two. "Especially YOU." she pointed the gun back at Abbie.

"You are such a bitch." Abbie muttered, succeeding in pissing off the blonde. Casey all of a sudden heard the gun fire, and Abbie shriek in pain. She felt the brunette collapse against her, and she immediately noticed the wound in Abbie's already injured leg. She gently slumped to the ground and pulled off her blazer applying pressure to the wound.

"What did I say about talking?" Addy said bitterly. "It would be a lot easier to kill both of you now wouldn't it?" she asked, even though the question was rhetorical. Casey felt the blood starting to seep through her jacket. "You have to get help. She's losing a lot of blood," Casey pleaded trying to reason with the angry blonde.

Addy was far past caring. Frankly, she wanted to see Abbie bleed out all over her office. She knew eventually the pain would be too much seeing as her leg was already injured. "You know Casey, I thought you would be dead. Didn't put enough anthrax in your tea I see." Addy teased. "Also, tell me, did you get your car replaced? Surely you wouldn't want to drive it with Kim's blood all over the place."

She then turned her attention to Abbie, "Wanna know something? Serena was such a good girl before I killed her." she began. She saw Abbie's eyes darken in anger, so she decided to continue. "She never screamed. She was practically quiet the entire time. Until I put my knife to her throat. Then she started crying. She cried for you Abbie, but you weren't there were you?" she chastised.

"YOU BITCH." Abbie shoved Casey and attempted to stand, but was halted as Addy pulled the trigger again, sending another bullet into her leg. Abbie clenched her teeth as pain shot through her leg and she slumped against the wall again.

Casey again attempted to apply pressure to the new wound as more blood began to flow. This was not how she had planned on her first meeting with Alex Cabot going. The woman was twisted and sadistic thriving happiness from other people's pain.

Addy grinned evilly as she clicked the gun again preparing the take another shot. "You'll see you're little bitch again after I kill you." she whispered. She was about to pull the trigger when she heard her name, her REAL name shouted behind her.

"Addison! Drop the gun!" she turned around and was met with the sight of Olivia, Elliot, and the others all pointing their guns at her.

"Detective Benson, how nice of you to join us."

'Put the gun down Addison…Abbie needs help. I know you're angry.' Olivia said trying to reason with the blonde. She really WAS Alex's twin. They were practically copies.

"You don't know anything detective! None of this concerns you!" she shouted.

"It concerns me when you start hurting people. You're right, I don't know anything, but there is someone who does."

Alex carefully stepped into Abbie's office that was becoming a little too crowded. She saw her sister's facial expressions change when they made eye contact. "Ali?" Alex smiled lightly at her nickname she hadn't heard in years.

"It's me Addy…It's been a long time." Alex said attempting to distract her sister. "Thirty years." Addy corrected. Alex nodded.

"It has been thirty years…How have you been?"

'Oh you know the usual…getting raped every night until I was 18 by a man I had to call my father because my real family didn't want me anymore!" Addy shouted, her anger turning into hurt. She felt tears pooling in her eyes threatening to fall.

"I didn't know! Mom and Dad told me you were dead. They came home the day they took you away and told me you died. I cried for you every night Addison because I was six and I had to believe everything our parents told me."

'It wasn't fair! They always loved you more. The only time I was ever even seen as your equal was with Liz. Everyone else always loved you more."

"You didn't have to come back and hurt people because of that. You could have come and talked to me."

"Like you had any time for me. Look at you, you're successful, you have money, you have someone who is hopelessly in love with you, and what do I have? I have none of that, why? Because I had my life taken from me. I didn't get any say in anything."

Alex averted her gaze to behind her sister for a few seconds. She saw Abbie sitting on the floor with her eyes squeezed shut and teeth clenched trying to will away the obvious pain she was in. She knew she needed to work faster. "Addy, please….Abbie really needs help. Don't let another person die because of your anger towards me and the past." Alex pleaded.

There was silence as Addy started thinking. Her sister was right, she had caused a lot of trouble and for no apparent reason. She glanced back at the two attorneys huddled in the corner as tears began to fall down her face. "I'm sorry…" she whispered to the two. She turned back to Alex and the detectives before speaking again. "All I wanted was for you to know how I felt Ali. I shouldn't have let it get this far." Addy stated, her voice starting to crack.

Slowly, she bent down and placed the gun on the floor and went back to an upright position, raising her hands in surrender. Elliot cautiously took her arm and led her out of the office.

Alex let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She moved to the side to let the paramedics in. Olivia came up next to her, "You did great. I was beginning to worry that you weren't going to be able to talk her out of it." she said offering Alex a grin. Alex laughed, "Yeah well, I just played it by ear."

As the paramedics rushed Abbie out of the room Casey approached the two. "You know, we have never been properly introduced, Alex Cabot." Alex said offering her hand to Casey. Casey laughed nervously, "I really don't think I should." She said as she held up her hands that were covered in blood. "Oh yeah…right. You should probably go change. Um, nice meeting you?" Casey returned Alex's smile, "Nice meeting you too."

As Casey left Alex turned back to Olivia, "I'm so glad this is finally over." She breathed throwing her arms around the detective. Olivia returned the hug. "I'm so sorry I ever doubted you…I was only doing my job." She explained. Alex pulled back and gave her a peck on the lips. "I know, and I know how you are when it comes to your job. But like I said before, ever doubt me again and I'll kick your ass."

Olivia met Alex on the steps of the courthouse. "So how'd it go?" she asked the blonde. Alex sighed and shook her head, "Addy's going to be going away for a very long time. It sort of hurts to see your sister sent of to Riker's you know?" she replied. "Oh, and Liz offered me my job back."

The detective nodded, "So are you gonna take it?" Alex shrugged. "I don't know yet. Technically it isn't my job to take, it's Casey's." she added. "No, it's yours." They heard a voice behind them. They turned and saw Casey approaching them, briefcase in hand. "Hey, did you just get out of court?" Olivia asked. The redhead nodded, "Yeah, I had a hearing this morning. I heard about your sister Alex, I'm sorry."

Alex shrugged again, "I knew it was coming, it's just trying to grasp it all. But you were saying about your job?" she asked. Casey nodded and went on. "Oh yeah, right. I was offered either Serena's job working under Abbie, or I was going to be working under you."

"What'd you decide?"

"I decided to stay with Special Victims, I've gotten use to it ya know? Plus, I wouldn't feel right taking Serena's job."

"I can see how that would make sense. Well I look forward to working with you. I've got to go chat with Liz about some things, I'll catch up with you guys later." Alex turned and headed back into the courthouse leaving Casey and Olivia standing there.

Olivia was the first to break the silence. "Listen, Case about…"

"Don't…I already know. I could tell by the way it felt whenever you kissed me. She has your heart, that much is obvious."

" So you aren't mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. A little hurt maybe, but I understand. You're a special person detective, and I hope you and Alex are very happy together."

Olivia smiled, "Thanks for understanding. But does that mean I don't get a hug?" she said with mock hurt. Casey shook her head as she allowed Olivia to hug her. "I'll be seeing you around though. Trust me." Casey gave her a smile as she continued down the steps.

"You ready to go?" Alex asked coming up behind her. Olivia nodded and took Alex's hand. She was about to start walking when she stopped and turned back to the blonde. "…You are Alex right?" she teased raising an eyebrow. Alex rolled her eyes and pulled her in for a soft but passionate kiss. When the need for air became too great they broke apart. "Yup…definitely Alex."
