The Interview day with Tucker is here, will Elliot hold it together long enough to take him down. Enjoy

Chapter 28

After explaining everything to Cragen he called Liz and asked her to come to the station.

"Munch and Fin I want you to do a full background on Tucker, be discrete I don't want him to know we are digging."

"Sure thing Capt." Fin said "We got this".

Elliot and Olivia walked into his office while they waited for Liz to turn up.

"Don I've been thinking" said Elliot. "When it's my interview tomorrow and Tucker records my side of the story I want to do it alone without Liz."

"El are you mad" Olivia said.

"No Baby, not this time" he smiled. "Look I want to have it out with him he is more likely to show his true feelings if It's just him and me in the room, if I can get him to admit everything and its recorded in the interview, it will help me when I'm up in front Panel."

Olivia looked at him and nodded "okay, I'm just worried he will push you and you will lose it, he has made your life hell for so long"

"Well I tell you what, why don't you, Cragen and Liz watch from behind the glass that way if you're worried you can step in"

Olivia nodded and took hold of his hand. Cragen looked at the two detectives and smiled "look why don't you two head home I will explain everything to Liz. Elliot be back here first thing so we can go over anything Fin and Munch find out"

"Thanks Capt." he said as they both stood up and walked out the room.

Olivia woke up and looked sleepily at the clock 2.45am she looked at the empty space next to her and climbed out the bed. She walked out her bedroom naked and found Elliot also naked stood by the window looking out at the city below.

"Can't you sleep" she asked wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Nope, too much goin round my head"

"Yeah well hopefully it will be over shortly. Don said they had Haungs Evaluation ready, Liz has everything relating to all your cases from the past, and all the witness statements, once Tucker admits everything tomorrow you will be in the clear"

"I hope so Liv"

"Hey" she said coming round his front and wrapping her arms around his neck "Stay positive" her fingers played with the back of his neck as she pulled him down into a deep, slow kiss. She felt his erection begin to push against her stomach and she moaned into his mouth.

"Christ Liv how do you do this to me, I can't control myself around you" he said as she kissed his neck and throat, "I'm hard for you all time"

"hmmmm so I can feel" she mumbled into his neck, "So do something about it, cause I'm so wet right now just thinking about you fucking me"

Elliot picked her and she wrapped her arms around him as he pushed her up against the window, she gasped as the cold glass pressed up against her back "Fuck me El" she said reaching down between them and guiding him into her, she wrapped her legs tighter around his waist pulling him fully into her. "Just do Babe hard and fast I need you now" she begged him. Hearing her beg him was all he needed as he rammed into her hard before pulling back and slamming into her again. "OH GOD!" she screamed as he pounded into hard over and over as he pushed her against the glass of the window.

"Fuck Liv your amazing Baby" he panted "I'm sorry but I ….I won" before he could say the rest of the sentence he released and came inside her. When his body had calmed down he lowered her to the ground. "I'm sorry liv" he said "I couldn't hold on".

"Baby its fine, I knew what you needed"

"But you didn't"

"Hey that's fine" she said kissing him "I don't mind, and the next time I need a quick release I know who to come to, now …bed you need to get some sleep for tomorrow" she said taking his hand and leading him into the bedroom. They never noticed the person stood in the ally across the street watching everything that had just happened against the window.

Elliot sat at his desk when Tucker walked into the squad room. He smirked at Elliot as he walked past him into Cragens office and shut the door.

"You ready for this Elliot?" asked Fin.

"To fucking right I am" he said his eyes ice cold.

A few minutes later the door opened and Tucker, Cragen and Liz walked out.

"Elliot you ready for your interview?" asked Cragen. "we have informed Lt Tucker that you would rather speak to him alone"

Elliot stood up from his chair and Olivia walked up to him "Stay calm" she whispered to him as she pulled him into a hug "Whenever you feel yourself losing it think of us together…. I love you"

"I love you to baby" he said turning and following Tucker into the interview room. They sat down at the desk opposite each other and Tucker pressed record on the machine

"Lt Tucker from Internal Affairs can you please state your name for the tape and acknowledge you have waivered your right for a representative at this moment."

"Detective Elliot Stable and yeah I have waivered my right."

"So Detective here we are again, it seems to be a regular occurrence doesn't it" he said opening up a folder " I mean in the last 12 years I have had to interview on numerous occasions about your attitude, temper and conduct at work"

"Yep and every time I have been cleared, just why is that?" asked Elliot leaning forward on the table. "Could it be that I never done anything wrong".

Tucker grinned "and you think that's what's going to happen this time?" Elliot shrugged his shoulders and sat back in his chair folding his arms. "Let's go over the charges first" he said picking up a piece of paper.

"First you are charged with assaulting a fellow police office"

"No charges were ever filed, check the records"

"There were witnesses" he grinned, Elliot shrugged at him.

"Next criminal damage against Detective Tutuolas car"

"And again nothing was reported by Detective Tutuola"

"Next on the list Drunk and abusive in a public place"

"and yet again no charges or records of any of the charges you say I'm guilty of" said Elliot leaning forward again glaring at Tucker. Tucker closed the folder and stared back at Elliot.

"We have witness statements to co-operate with all the above charges" Elliot grinned back at him.

"Yeah I heard about your witnesses if I'm not mistaken you have a homeless man who lives in the Alley, an elderly neighbour of Detective Benson, who used to live on the top floor of the apartment building. She always wanted an apartment on the ground floor and what do you know three days after giving a statement she is moved to the ground floor. She told Detective Munch to say thank you to that nice young Man who took her statement." Elliot smiled at Tucker as he saw him flinch slightly at what he had said. "Oh and how could I forget your other witness's a prostitute and a drunk…..good luck with getting them to stand up in court."

Outside the room Olivia smiled at Fin and Munch "Good work" she said turning her head back to the room.

"I have spoken to Doctor George Haung he told me has been seeing you for counselling since you killed Jenna Fox, but you only went to him 2 weeks ago, that was 4 weeks after the shooting, why wait so long, despite being ordered by your Captain to talk to him."

Elliot tensed up at the mention of him killing Jenna.

"I was cleared of the shooting" he said

"But isn't it true you had a hard time accepting the outcome, you were heard saying on a number of times and I quote "I Killed a Kid, how could I have Killed a kid "sounds to me like a guilty conscience anything you want to tell me"

"of course I felt guilty I had shot a kid, sure she had to be stopped but it doesn't stop me feeling bad about it she was only 16 years old and I ended her life, it hit me hard, would it have been better if I had done it then just thought Fuck it and got on with my life" his temper was starting to rise.

"But you still didn't speak to Haung straight away did you, you hit the bottle instead trying to block it out but it didn't work did it…..you completely lost it"

Elliot clenched his fists his knuckles turning white.

"You getting a bit tense there Detective" he smirked, knowing he was starting to get to him. Elliot looked over to the two way mirror knowing Olivia was behind the glass, he closed his eyes and thought of her taking deep breaths to calm him down.

"I admit" he said opening his eyes. "I should have talked to someone earlier, I didn't ….."

"That's right you didn't" he said cutting him off "you got drunk every night, beat up another officer and smashed up a car, the only reason you finally asked for help was because you knew you had gone too far and you were on the brink of losing your job, losing your mind, your family and friends you were breaking down, on the edge."

"You're wrong" Elliot said through clenched teeth.

"What? So you didn't hit your partner knocking her to the ground, someone you're supposed to love, you were out of control"

Elliot shot his head up glaring at him, then to the glass mirror.

Olivia looked at Cragen "It was an accident he turned and knocked me over after he found out he had been cleared of the shooting he was upset…how the hell did he find out?

"I swear Baby girl I told no one" said Fin.

"I…It was an accident, I would never hurt her" Elliot said looking down at the table.

"ooh that's right you would never hurt her would you not when you're sleeping with her"

"Whatever we do or don't do away from this station has nothing to do with you….."

"So how long have you been sleeping with Benson?" Tucker asked cutting him off mid-sentence "Was it before you left your wife and family or after, did she take pity on you cause you were losing it, we know how much she likes to take care of lost causes , is that what you were a lost cause.?"

"Fuck You" said Elliot keeping his eyes fixed on the table in front of him.

"What's the matter Detective did I hit a raw nerve, did I upset you, make you angry, do you need to leave to get a drink to help calm your nerves…."

"Get El out of there" said Olivia tears forming in her eyes "He is going to lose it "she begged trying to get past Cragen and into the room.

"No Liv, just wait" Cragen said holding her arm.

"So Detective is that what you want is that what you need, to either hit someone or down a bottle of drink, or do you need this to help all your troubles go away" he shouted slamming a revolver down on the desk in front of Elliot.

Elliot looked at the gun then up to Tucker and started to grin. "Why would I need that?"

"Well you tried it once before didn't you, but it didn't work, do you really think the force needs a suicidal cop working with vulnerable victims."

"I'm getting help, I've my family, friends and a woman I love to support me though this….it's a shame your Father never had that support" Elliot snapped looking up at Tucker straight in the face. "He might still be around to see what a pathetic little prick you have become"

Tucker stepped back "Wha….what the hell you talking about?"

"You know Tucker I couldn't figure out for years why it was you were always busting my balls, always trying to take me down, how every time I done the slightest thing wrong you were there blowing it all up out of proportion. Never anyone else always you."

Tucker glared at him "Because you're an insubordinate little prick who shouldn't be on the force, you're a disgrace" he growled.

"oh right so it's nothing to do with the fact that my Father found out you Father was a dirty cop and taking bribes and you want me to pay for it".

"He took a bit of money, times were hard, what the hells that got to do with the shit you pull"

"He took a bit of money….. but that ok, cause times were hard that's what you're telling me?" laughed Elliot standing up, changing form being interviewed to being the interviewer.

"Christ he's good" said Liz watching him "Has he ever thought of becoming a lawyer" she smiled at Olivia.

"Your Father a police officer took bribes, and you think its ok cause times were hard, you work for fucking Internal affairs you ruin peoples careers for less" Elliot said walking over to the two way mirror.

"You little prick" growled Tucker. "Your father ruined everything he just couldn't keep his mouth shut, apparently he was a cocky little fucker just like you, I'm going to make sure your career is over, I'm going to ruin your life just like your father did to mine"

"He never ruined your life, your father did, he couldn't handle the shame of being found out so he shot himself, took his own life instead of facing everyone, he was a weak coward and he scare of what would happen when they found out he was sleeping with young girls in payment for turning a blind eye to the local drug dealers"

Tucker just stood glaring at Elliot. Straight away Elliot knew from the expression on his face he hadn't known the full facts behind his Fathers suicide "No…..He…He took his own life cause your Father hounded him telling him to come clean, just cause he took a few hundred dollars in bribes, he was never slept with girls"

"My Dad didn't report it, he was giving your Father time to come clean, he wrote it all down in his notebooks, dates, times, names everything he found out about him, I found the books."

Tucker lent forward resting his hands on the table.

"You have made my life hell for years" said Elliot standing behind him "You have tried to take a career I love and I'm good at away from me, and why….. for payback, payback for something I had nothing to do with, I was 10 yrs. old"

"But at least you had your Father growing up"

Elliot laughed "You think I had a good child hood, just because I had a Dad. Because of what happened to your father my Dad turned to drink, he verbally and physically abused me so don't…..don't try and tell me I had a better life than you just cause my Dad didn't kill himself" Elliot lent on the table looking down at Tucker. "I had to work hard at a good life, fighting the rage that used to build up inside me cause of the job that we do here every day and the things we see, and all you wanted to do was take it all away from me. All because you had a bad childhood. Well fuck you. I have all the evidence I need to prove you have had a vendetta against me as you tried to ruin my career and life."

Tucker looked up at him.

"Your finished Tucker "Elliot said pressing stop on the recorder "Interview over". He said as he turned and walked out the room.

Somehow I'm thinking that wont be the last we will hear or see of Tucker. And who was in the Alley way watching Elliot and Olivia.
