A/N The next phase will get started but maybe differently than y'all think.
Chapter 14
"That was Hammond. This is what we are going to do." Olivia says looking around before she sits down next to Alex.
"In a couple of hours there will be someone added at the team. We'll stay here today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we'll go to our new houses. Hammond is coming with her and gives us our new identities, we have the rest of today and tomorrow to learn it. He didn't give more information so I don't know more about that yet. He will inform us about everything we need to know when he's here." Olivia says.
"That's fast. Last time they kept me in a safe house for two weeks before I moved again." Alex says.
"I know. I don't think we'll arrive at our new house the day after tomorrow. My guess is that they keep us moving for the next week at least before we are at our final destination. Probably with armored SUV's. But we'll know that when they are here in a few hours." Olivia answers.
"So it probably also means that you won't sleep again tonight." Abby says.
"Actually, if Hammond can get her, I will be sleeping tonight. That was the main reason why he called. He wanted to get my approval before he would ask her if she wants to do this." Olivia answers.
All eyes are at the Detective. And all three attorney's have raised an eyebrow.
"Care to explain that to us, Detective?" Alex asks.
"Sure. He is asking Carry O'Neal, my former partner from ESO. Aside from the ops I did solo, most of the ops I did with either a team or her. If it was a team usually she would be part of it too. If she does it I will be sleeping tonight. I trust her with my life in any dangerous situation." Olivia answers.
"Should I be worried about her?" Alex asks, getting a bit jealous and territorial.
"Nah. Beside the fact that she's straight, she doesn't know I'm gay. I was with the Army after I graduated at College and before I graduated at the Academy. So she is the one that will be surprised today, assuming that she'll come. But the most important reason is that she's not you." Olivia answers with a smile.
Abby snickers.
"Let me guess. She is not tall and slim, and she doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes." Abby smirks.
"That's right Tex, she doesn't. If she hasn't changed, she is tall and powerful with brown hair and brown eyes. So more your type." Olivia says smugly.
"Speaking of types, who is it that you two were talking about before Hammond called? You two didn't think you would get off the hook that easily do you?" Alex asks.
"Nice one, Cabot. I'd like to know that too." Casey smirks.
The brunettes look at each other for a second and turn to Alex and Casey.
"I plead the fifth." Olivia and Abby say in canon.
"You know, you always can sleep on the couch instead of your own bed tonight, Detective." Alex says.
"No problem. Speaking of couches, Chris and Debby one of you two needs to sleep on a couch in the panic room when you're not on the night shift. Badass Jr. is staying in the room behind the office. And I can go take the shift with her tonight if Alex is keeping me away from my own bedroom. I'm sure we have enough to talk about and we can catch up." Olivia says.
"Badass Jr.?" Abby asks.
"We are about the same hight so when we stood with our back to the rest they had trouble to keep us apart. Since I'm older than she is, it was Badass Sr. and Badass Jr. Or Sr. and Jr. when shortened." Olivia answers.
Debby goes back to office to get back at her shift. They all talked and teased each other for about half an hour when Olivia stands up from the couch to take a nap.
"Alright guys, I'm gonna take a nap. I'll be back in an hour. C'mon Abs, you're going with me." Olivia says.
"What? Why?" Alex asks.
"Because I know you two." Olivia says pointing at Alex and Casey.
"You will badger Abby and that's not gonna happen. So if Abs wants a free hour she's coming with me." Olivia says.
"Hell ya. I ain't staying alone here with those two." Abby says, jumping of her seat.
Alex and Casey laugh and shake their heads. Dakota looks at Olivia and Abby, she knows the two are hiding something, she just didn't figure it out yet. Not that she is afraid something would happen between them. She knows that Alex is the only one Olivia has eyes for. She decides to keep a closer eye on her dark haired friend. Maybe she can figure it out then.
2 hours later the doorbell rings and Olivia walks to the panel next to the door and looks who's there. She sees Hammond standing in front of the door with a brunette next to him. A smile breaks through on the Detective's face. She closes the panel and opens the front door. Hammond and the brunette step inside and Olivia closes the door behind them. And turns around.
"Jr.! You're here!" Olivia squeals while taking the brunette in a bear hug.
"Sr.! Of course I'm here! I didn't need to think twice when he called and asked for my help." The brunette squeals back.
The trio walk to the living room where 4 people are sitting with a surprised look on their faces. None of them had heard Olivia squeal before. As soon as they are in the living room 5 jaws hit the floor. Olivia had failed to mention that her former partner looked like her a lot. Hammond understands the looks on the other's faces. He himself had done a double check when he saw the brunette for the first time. Olivia smiled at the look on everyone's faces.
"Jr. let me introduce you to the guys, I mean guy and girls it's a habit, since they seem to have lost their manors. Special Agent Chris Jamau." Olivia says, pointing at Chris.
"That are federal prosecutor Abby Carmichael and ADA Casey Novak, Casey is one of the ADA's assigned to my squad." Olivia says, as she points at Abby and Casey.
"ADA Alexandra Cabot, the other ADA assigned to my squad and the teenager is Dakota Player. Alex is also my girlfriend and Dakota is my daughter, well our daughter I guess now. I have custody over her since recently. I'll explain it to you later." Olivia says as she points at Dakota and then Alex, smiling at the blonde.
"Lex, Dakota, Casey, Tex and Chris this is Carry O'Neal aka Badass Jr. or Jr." Olivia says.
"And your long lost twin, Benson. Although ya forgot to mention that little detail earlier." Abby says.
"No I didn't I just thought I didn't need to say it then." Olivia smiles as she walks to Alex.
Olivia sits down next to the blonde and puts her arm around Alex's waist possessively.
"Just like you thought you didn't need to say it that you have a girlfriend and a daughter with that girlfriend, who looks like a mix of the both of you? Not that I care that you're gay." Carry asks.
"None of them knew that I'm gay until about a week ago. Alex being the only exception she knows it a week longer. She is my girlfriend for about a week too. Although we have been best friends for years. And Dakota isn't our daughter as in biological. She is placed in my custody a little under two weeks ago. So I didn't need to say I have a girlfriend and a daughter since I didn't have one the last time I saw you." Olivia answers.
"Yeah well that make sense." Carry laughs.
"So we're good?" Olivia asks.
"Yeah we're good. It's just a shock that's all. But if you're happy, I'm happy. And you sure have a good taste. Your girl is nothing less than beautiful and apparently also very smart since she is an ADA. You don't have to be gay to see that." Carry smiles.
Making Alex blush and everyone else laugh.
"I hate to interrupt this tea party but we have things to discuss. Olivia, I suggest that Agent Smith, Ms. O'Neal you and I are going over the details for your protection first and that after that we discuss the details of your new identities." Hammond says.
"Alright, that's fine with me. Debby's in the office so we can go there. Chris you stay here with my women." Olivia says, not realizing how that sounds immediately.
Just when everyone laughs she realized how it sounded and blushes.
"Uhm that came out wrong I think. My women, Abby and Casey I should have said." Olivia says.
The three of them walk out the living room to the office. Where Olivia explains everything about the security there is. And shows Carry the panic room too. Even Carry is impressed with all the security. When she sees the arsenal of weapons and small artillery she immediately knows in how much danger her former partner and the other's are. But she doesn't say a thing. Carry knows that they will talk about that later when the time is right. The three of them walk back to the office to talk further.
"Alright Jack, anything on Lewis?" Olivia asks.
"We found a hiding place from him. The only thing we found there was a message on a writing board. 'Find Medina'. But we have no clue who that is. We couldn't find anything on Medina who ever that is." Hammond answers.
As soon as Olivia hears the message she turns white.
"There is no Medina. It's a code. I've seen it once. It means that there's a price on Lewis' head and someone warned him. And indirectly warned us. If you don't find Lewis before they do, he will be brought to you but not alive and in one piece. How long ago did you find it?" Olivia asks.
"Yesterday morning." Hammond answers, looking at Olivia.
Olivia looks like she's gonna kill Hammond right there.
"Christ Hammond! The deal was if you would find something you would call me. Debby get Alex here, now please." Olivia says.
Debby gets up and walks out of the office. Not even asking why.
"You wanted to know plan C remember? Well you get it. And you need to get another Agent here. Because till you've found Lewis or he's dropped at your doorstep with a message left, I need to go to plan C and Alex is coming with me, you know she does and it's necessary too. The rest will be safe here. And Jr. here is coming with us. As long as you don't know what they know and get Lewis one way or the other, I need to get off the radar. Damn you Hammond!" Olivia says.
Debby and Alex just come inside when they heard the last thing Olivia said, cursing to Hammond.
"Liv, what's wrong?" Alex asks.
A/N 2 Leave it to the feds to screw things up. That's one thing they're good at.
A/N 3 In two weeks I have to do my first exam in 18 years. So I need to study a lot. Why I thought it would be a good idea to start with Tax law is beyond me at this moment. Anyway this week I will be able to write regularly but next week I'm not. So y'all need to have some patience with than. After my first exam I have the time to write as usual.
