Chapter 26

"You ready for this?" she asked taking hold of his hand as they stood outside the station steps.

"As ready as I will ever be" he smiled nervously.

"El, stay positive we are all behind, and no matter what happens Tucker can't take away the love I feel for you".

"If I can't be a cop what else is there for me?"

"Elliot, stop now. Don't think that way".

"I can't help it that prick has had it in for me for years, I was cleared of the shooting, so why is he still doing this."

"I don't know lets go and talk to Cragen first and see what he has to say".

Elliot nodded and stared into her eyes "thank you" he whispered he lent forward gently brushing her lips with his.

"You're welcome" she replied as he lent his forehead against hers.

"Well, well isn't this sweet" said a voice from behind Elliot's back. Elliot spun round to find himself face to face with Tucker, straight away he felt himself tense up as he stared at the man who was intent on ruining his life.

"What the fuck is your problem, Tucker?" Elliot asked "You've had a hard on for me since the day you came to IAB" he stood toe to toe with older man.

"Elliot" said Olivia putting his arm on his shoulder "Don't let him get to you".

Elliot stepped back slightly.

"Yeah Stabler, wouldn't want you to suddenly lose it" he sneered at him "God knows what would happen then".

"Elliot…El" said Olivia putting herself in between the two men. She cupped his face with her hands"Look at me Baby" she said her voice quiet. Elliot still stood tensed up glaring at Tucker. "Hey" she said as his eyes flickered to hers and she smiled at him. "Come on lets go in". She reached up and placed her lips gently on his not caring Tucker was stood watching.

Elliot felt his body relax as he felt her lips on his all the tension he felt melting away. She took his hand as they turned and walked away from Tucker into the station.

"She won't always be there to calm you Stabler" he said as they walked away.

As they got in the lift Elliot sighed. "He's right" he said. "I won't always have you to calm me down, I'm gonna be in the interview room with him and he is going to go at me till I crack".

"You know El, you mentioned outside about Tucker being after you since day one, why do you think that is?"

Elliot shrugged "I don't know, all I know is he has always been after me it's always been him nobody else. He puts me through hell but I'm always cleared by someone higher than him, then it starts all over again". He looked at Olivia "why what you thinking?"

"There must be a reason, sure you hot headed and think with your fists most the time but you good at your job so there must be some reason why he is after your badge". The lift stopped and they walked out. Olivia put a hand on Elliot's arm to stop him.

"Have you ever crossed paths with him before you came to SVU"? Elliot shook his head.

"Nope and I sure as hell would remember the prick if I had". He looked at her with a puzzled face "What you think he has a vendetta against me cause of something I done before I came here".

"Yeah why not, he joined IAB and less than 3 months later he has you for excessive force when arresting a perp, but you were cleared within 2 days. We have never questioned why it's always him and why he has this hate for you that he does".

"Believe me the hate goes both ways".

"But at least you know why you hate him", she smiled at him.

"So what do you suggest?"

"Well we can't do any foot work till we are interviewed and cleared by them so why don't we spend the time trying to find a reason behind his hate towards you".

Elliot shrugged "Sure what we got to lose".

They walked into the office side by side a few uniforms were hanging around but no one else. Cragens door to his office was open so the y headed there.

"Hey Capt." Olivia said knocking on the door.

"Come on in and shut the door" he said not looking up from the paperwork he was reading. They both stood in front of his desk neither saying a word.

"This is the report and case IAB have against you" he said looking at Elliot." They want you charged with assaulting a police officer and criminal damage. Also someone told them they heard you say something about killing yourself when you were put in the interrogation room the night you were taken in from outside Olivia's."

"But Capt. I wasn't myself…..I had been drinking, I was upset, but I asked for help, I'm getting help…they can't use that against me".

"Elliot I'm on your side but IAB are now looking into every time you have lost your temper, lashed out or gone against the book to get a collar…..Their trying to say your unfit to serve, they have been investigating everything that happened to you after the shooting."

"By they you mean Tucker" said Olivia taking hold of Elliot's hand.

Cragen nodded "Yeah Tucker, and until your interview in front of the board on Friday I have been ordered to suspend you."

"This is fucked up" said Elliot sitting down on the nearest chair.

"Elliot I'm on your side, you don't need to tell me it's fucked up" he said shaking his head. "Look the best advice I can give you is get a lawyer and keep talking to Haung. Make sure you're ready for everything they try to throw at you. I have your back all the way as do the rest of the team. We will get you back here".

Elliot nodded he was about to say something when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in "shouted Cragen.

"I hear you're in the shit with IAB Stabler".

"Judge Donnelly" said Olivia.

"Less of the Judge" she said smiling "I gave it up, however I was told you might need a lawyer to take on that Bastard Tucker" she said to Elliot, "well Honey I'm all yours".

"What….I don't understand?" said Elliot looking between Donnelly and Cragen.

"I told Liz over a coffee what was happening, she wants to help" said Cragen smiling at Donnelly.

"I've always had a soft spot for you Stabler, and I hate IAB so come on let's get to work on your case so we can get you back to work".

"Erm ….Judg"

"Liz" she said holding her hand up to stop Olivia calling her judge.

"Err Liz, can we go over something we have been discussing reference Tucker to see what you think".

"Sure lets go and get a coffee" she said walking to the door followed by Elliot and Olivia. She turned to face Cragen "dinner at mine tonight 7pm, don't be late" she said winking as she turned to leave.

Elliot flopped back against the couch and sighed throwing another notebook off to the side and rubbed his eyes.

"Do you want a coffee?" he asked Olivia who was busy reading another note book.

"Yeah please baby "she said without looking up. They had gone to Kathy's house on the way back from the station so Elliot could pick up all his old note books from the time he had been on the force. Olivia couldn't believe he had kept them all boxed up all this time in the cellar. Elliot had told her his father told him never to throw them away as you would never know if you would need them again, his father had kept all his. Elliot had picked up those boxes as well.

"This is going to take for ever" Elliot moaned as he made the coffee.

Olivia looked up smiling "You got something better to do".

"Well you know…." He said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Behave yourself Stabler and get back here and get reading, there has to be something that happened with either Tucker or someone he knows". Elliot sighed and handed her a coffee, he was about to sit down when there was a knock on the door.

He opened it and was met with Fin, Munch and Alex, "What you guys doin here?"

"Came to help" said Alex pushing past him and taking his coffee out his hand and taking a sip "Thanks" she said going over and sitting next to Olivia. Fin smirked and walked in the room followed by Munch.

"That's it" said Munch after three hours "I can't read anymore, especially your scribble Elliot" he moaned.

"Yeah I think we should call it a night, who fancies pizza and a few drinks" said Olivia standing up and stretching.

"Sounds good to me Baby girl" Fin said stretching.

"Mmmm yeah got any vodka?" asked Alex could do with something strong.

"Yeah, I'll order the pizzas you guys help yourself to drinks" said Olivia picking up the phone. She ordered the pizzas then turned to Elliot who was stood looking out the window with a beer in his hand.

"Hey, you okay?" she asked him standing behind him and wrapping his arms around his waist.

"I just thought I would find something in those books, but I just can't remember anything that has happened …."

"Hey don't give up" she said turning him round to face her. "Don't you dare give up, we will find something" She pulled his head down and kissed him tasting the beer on his lips. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him deepening the kiss, his tongue probing her mouth moaning into her. His hands moved down her back grabbing her ass.

"AHEM!" they pulled apart to see three grinning faces staring at them "would you like us to leave?" asked Munch.

"Yeah, if you wo…." Olivia elbowed him in the ribs.

"No Munch we don't want you to leave". She laughed pulling away from Elliot and walking into the kitchen to get a drink.

"Oh I think someone wants us to leave" said Munch grinning and looking down at Elliot's groin.

"Fuck you Munch" he laughed sitting down on the couch to make it less obvious about the hard on he was getting. He looked around the room at his friends and realised he couldn't give up he had to find out what Tuckers problem was and stop him.

You know the sore review and let me know your thoughts, nice reviews give me happy thought which normally lead to a smut filled Chapter.
