Alex was sitting at her desk, going through her files for the next trial she was due for. She heard the knock on her door. She looked up to see Trevor walking into her office. "Trevor to what do I owe the pleasure?"
He closed the door. "This isn't a pleasure talk today Alex," Trevor stated as he sat down at her chair.
She took off her glasses, and sighed out, "What's up?"
"Michael Grey,"
"You're his lawyer?"
"Yeah I am, and he told me how the interview went." He started. "You do know the confession won't be admissible in court."
Alex rolled her eyes, "And why are you here."
"I am here as a friend, and maybe to try and save your future cases," Trevor informed still caring for Alex. "Your girl needs to control her partner."
Alex knew she could never have that conversation with Olivia, "Detective Stabler is a very professional." She tried to convince the two of them.
"This isn't the first time and won't be the last time that he loses control." Trevor explained.
She also knew there was no way that Olivia would talk to Elliot about his temper. "I'll talk to him."
"Good, I will see you in court later." Trevor stated getting up. "Do you umm." he turned back towards Alex, "Perhaps want to go grab a drink after work?"
Alex hasn't been out with Trevor in a while, "Sure that will be nice."
Alex walked into the SVU precinct, to see Olivia away from her desk. "Hey, Alex aren't you suppose to be in court?" Fin questioned.
Alex sighed out seeing Trevor was right with arrangement. "No Fin, the arrangement was short lived." She touched Elliot's shoulder, "I need to talk to you."
"Sure, Liv is upstairs having lunch." Elliot stepping away from his desk. He lead them upstairs to the couch area.
Olivia smiled at Alex, "Hey, Alex how's it going."
Alex gave Olivia a half smile. She took a couple of fries off of Liv's plate."You need to get your anger under control." She let her thoughts out as she turned to Elliot.
Olivia stood up from her chair knowing she was going to have to play referee. "Excuse me?" Elliot was shocked with the statement, "My anger is under control."
"Really why do I have Trevor Langan defending Michael Grey, calling police brutality and an illegal confession during arrangement?" Alex snapped stepping closer to the defensive detective.
Liv didn't know what to do with this, "Now there is no way that Elliot would ever get out an illegal confession." Liv stated knowing her partner.
"Olivia!" Alex snapped her anger for Elliot at Olivia. "When I am told that Mr. Grey asked for a lawyer and Elliot continues to talk to him. I seem incompetent in court."
Olivia turned to Elliot, "Well did he ask for one?" She questioned him quietly.
"Yes, but he chose to continue. I'm not an idiot counselor." Elliot raised his voice to the blonde.
"By whose choice."
"Who's side are you on?"
"Mine." She yelled. "I am trying to close a case and it is hard to do when I am constantly hearing the defendant calling police brutality."
"And you believe Grey's lying piece of crap lawyer."
Olivia watched Alex clench her fist; with insult to Trevor, "Then how did Grey get the marks on his body in your custody."
"He fell sitting down." Olivia chuckled at the statement knowing that was a lie.
Alex gave Liv a hurt look from her laughing with Elliot and hardly saying a thing to back her, "Bull shit."
Elliot was a little shocked with the language that came from Alex. "Look it was a clean confession. I did my job, just because you can't do yours don't blame me."
Alex's blood always boiled when Elliot or any detective would tell her she didn't know how to do her job. "And if you were put on a harness instead of an interrogation room. My job might go smoother."
"Okay," Olivia stepped in between the two to stop the arguing. "There is a lot of tension between everyone. Why don't we take a breather and go for drinks after work."
Alex looked at Olivia, who was trying to keep the peace, but didn't want to be around her or Elliot at the moment. "I can't I have plans." She walked away from the detective duo.
"Oh, okay." Olivia softly stated watching her walk down the stairs.
"Trouble in paradise?" El questioned seeing the cold shoulder she was just getting from Alex.
"There might be," Liv turned to El,"You need apologize to her."
Elliot scoffed, but calming down after Alex left, "No I don't."
"Elliot we all know that he didn't fall, and I get that, but when this..." Olivia started.
"If you weren't fucking the ADA," Elliot cut Liv off. "You wouldn't be asking me to apologize."
Olivia was slightly offended with how he worded his statement. "But we all have to work together and it would be nice to have everyone get along. Just do a solid for me and pull back your pride for once."
Elliot could hear the plea in Olivia's voice, "Alright, I will the next time I see her."
"Thank you." She said walking down stairs, leaving Elliot with the rest of her lunch.
Alex walked into Olivia's apartment after her drinks with Trevor. Liv was in her kitchen washing dishes. "Hey," She softly greeted the brunette.
"Hey, how was your plans?"
Alex saw the plate of food on the counter next to a glass of wine. "It was nice." She informed as she poured herself a glass of wine. "This is good." She took a piece of chicken off her plate.
"What did you do?" She was curious to know where Alex went.
She took a gulp of her wine. "I had drinks with Trevor." She admitted.
Olivia turned away from the sink to look a blonde. "Really?" Olivia questioned.
"Yeah, he wanted to catch up." She stated stepping closer to Olivia, "You know we haven't really had a social life since we have found each other."
"I'm sorry I have killed your social life." Olivia sighed out moving out of the potential embrace.
"That's not what I meant." Alex placed her glass of wine on the counter to follow Olivia into the bedroom. "You know I love being with you. My favorite part of the night is coming here so I can kiss you. Is that what's really bothering you?" She questioned sitting on the bed.
Olivia was changing into her sweats, "You went out with Trevor and you didn't say anything."
"First of all I didn't know I needed your permission,"
Olivia scoffed rolling her eyes before looking at Alex, "You are free to go out with whoever you want."
"Good,"
"Even if he is your ex." She said under her breath.
"Trevor isn't my ex." Alex quickly answered, "And second of all I just can't openly call you up. 'Hey Liv I am going to drinks with Trevor, okay honey I'll see you for dinner' Or tell you that when we are at work around our bosses and colleagues." Alex showed Olivia some hidden tension, about their relationship. "We don't get to have that kind of relationship."
Olivia finally looked at Alex the first time since Alex enter the apartment. "Forget it." She didn't really want to start an argument.
"No, you obviously have a problem with Trevor. Why."
"Okay fine." Liv crossed her arms leaning on the wall. "After the fight between you and Elliot, you leave to have drinks with the person who started the fight."
"This has nothing to do with Trevor."
"This has everything to do with Trevor. He talked to you about Elliot, and don't even try to say it only during arrangment. And with his observation you jump at Elliot."
"No Olivia. Your partner has an anger problem and I have lost numerous cases because of him. SO Trevor was right to say something."
"So your ex tells you to that you should correct something, you jump down our throats instead of coming to us rationally?" Liv questioned wanting to know Alex's logic.
"I didn't want to throw you in the middle of it when it had nothing to do with you." She confessed getting off the bed to step closer to Olivia.
"He's my partner Alex, you're my girlfriend we all have together, of course I am will be in the middle." Liv stated the obvious.
"Well it's good I didn't asked you for help, because you just stood there."
"I didn't just stand there."
"Oh yeah that's right. You sided with Elliot when you know I'm right."
Olivia stepped closer to Alex, "You both had very valid points, but I also didn't take anyone's side."
"So you're fine with way Elliot treats the perps." Alex asked never actually knowing that answer.
"Just because I don't act on it doesn't mean I don't want to it at times."
"Do I have to worry about you too?" Alex objected.
"Alex," Olivia down at the floor trying to find the right words, "when you see the scene photo and the victim terrified, are you telling me you don't want to hit the son of a bitch?"
"No, I rather do my job and have him sit in a cell." Alex answered as if she was in a press conference and not wanting to admit that Elliot has justified feelings.
Olivia knew that she was about to say something stupid, "I think you better go." She informed not wanting to do something irrational to Alex.
Alex was a little shocked that they with the statement. "You're right," She quietly knowing they were crossing lines, in their first personal fight. "I'll see you tomorrow, I guess."
Olivia could see the pain Alex's eyes, "Al, I'm sorry, I don't..."
"Don't be, I'll see you tomorrow." She kissed Liv's hand before leaving the bedroom.
I hope you enjoy I hope to update soon.
