Chapter Six
Jen Davis: So no luck on locating your missing tie however I did find something else you took off last night.
Rafael Barba: Show me.
Jen Davis: Picture Message Attached.
Rafael Barba: The thought of you wearing nothing underneath that shirt...
Jen Davis: Picture Message Attached.
Rafael Barba: Next time you decide to put on one of my shirts make sure I'm there to take it off of you. That's an order.
Jen Davis: And if I don't?
Rafael Barba: Bad girls get spanked.
Jen Davis: Are you going to put me over your knee Counselor? Show me what a naughty girl I've been?
Rafael Barba: It's a promise.

Jen Davis: Are you serious? Hodda decided not to take the plea?
Olivia Benson: Trust me I'm as surprised as you are. You should have seen Barba's face I thought he was going to have a coronary. Hodda fired his lawyer and has hired Hassler.
Jen Davis: This is complete madness!
Olivia Benson: Actually Jen, it gets worse. He's saying the confession was coerced.
Jen Davies: Liv, we followed procedure. That confession is rock solid.
Olivia Benson: I know that but it's what Hassler is mounting her defense on.
Jen Davies: We still have the kidnapping charges.
Olivia Benson: Actually we don't. Wyatt's mother doesn't want him to testify, she says he's too traumatized to take the stand.
Jen Davies: ... I have no idea what to say. Is Barba still bringing him up on charges for Hector? That evidence is sixteen years old and circumstantial at best.
Olivia Benson: You know Barba he's gonna try his damnedest.

Sonny Carisi: That hearing was awesome!
Jen Davis: You are the only one what seems to think so.
Sonny Carisi: You should have seen the finess of it all Jen, it's like watching a boxing match with all the parries and jabs.
Jen Davis: I get to see it all in live action when I take the stand after lunch. I take it you're enjoying shadowing Barba?
Sonny Carisi: He's like a maestro you know? A connosire of the law if you will.
Jen Davis: If you could only hear yourself right now. You have such a man crush.
Sonny Carisi: Loud and proud, the man's got game Jen I'm telling you.
Jen Davis: I'm calling this fledgling romance 'Barisi'.
Sonny Carisi: I like it, it rolls right off the tongue. Barisi. Barisi, Barisi.
Jen Davis: Just make sure he's not standing behind you when you're saying it out loud.

Amanda Rollins: Day 599 of being on bedrest and I have lost the remote somewhere amongst the bed sheets.
Jen Davis: And your sanity by the sound of it.
Amanda Rollins: That would be an honest assumption.
Jen Davis: Any day now baby Rollins is gonna make an appearance.
Amanda Rollins: God, I hope so I'm getting sick of carrying all this weight around.

Jess Hartley: Hey Sonny, I just wanted to check in and see how the mentoring situation was going :)
Sonny Carisi: I can not explain how amazing it is sitting second chair to Barba, the case is awful but watching him work, it's like watching an artist you know?
Jess Hartley: You are going full fanboy aren't you?
Sonny Carisi: Jen has deemed us Barisi. I kinda like it.
Jess Hartley: I am literally laughing out loud right now.
Sonny Carisi: I thought you'd like that. You free for dinner tonight? There's this new Italian place near mine, I wanna try it and see if it lives up to the hype.
Jess Hartley: You mean to your own lofty expectations?
Sonny Carisi: That too. So you in?
Jess Hartley: To be honest I'm kind of tired and I know it's kind of nerdy but I was gonna go home and spend some time on Overwatch...
Sonny Carisi: I love that game!
Jess Hartley: You do?
Sonny Carisi: Yea I spent hours playing it last night with a couple of friends.
Jess Hartley: Next your gonna tell me you like World of Warcraft.
Sonny Carisi: I'm in a clan. Sunday nights at 7pm we meet up, do a few quests, plan a few raids.
Jess Hartley: I'm in a clan!
Sonny Carisi: Send me your clan details!
Jess Hartley: I will! Game night tonight at my place? Take out from your Italian place?
Sonny Carisi: Yes! Text me when you get off shift!

Fin Tutuola: So that auxiliary cop is still a nut bar.
Olivia Benson: Excellent and the news just keeps getting better and better.
Fin Tutuola: Jen said you bumped into Huang at the courthouse.
Olivia Benson: Yea I did, Barba says he's testifying for the defense as their expert forensic psychologist.
Fin Tutuola: Shut the front door! Hodda's crazy but he's not certifiable.
Olivia Benson: I wish it wasn't true but there's nothing I can do about it. I just hope that Jen manages to change their minds about the confession.

Mike Dodds: I had a great time with your parents last night, sorry I had to shoot off before dessert though.
Daniel Vaughn: They understand duty calls. My dad's been a doctor for over thirty five years, it's not new to them or me.
Mike Dodds: Good, meeting them was important to me. I'm glad I got to see where you came from.
Daniel Vaughn: Maybe you can introduce me to your Dad soon, formally I mean.
Mike Dodds: I did introduce you. Remember when we bumped into him at that event.
Daniel Vaughn: I mean as your boyfriend.
Mike Dodds: Danny you know I'm not ready for that yet.
Daniel Vaughn: I know it's tough but I honestly think he'll be happy for you, for us. Promise me you'll think about it.
Mike Dodds: Promise.
