"Captain Cragen, SVU." Don spoke into the phone.
"What hell kind of operation are you running over there Cragen!?" Commissioner Morris screamed into the phone.
"Sir-" Cragen began, but was cut off.
"Nine women raped and killed, and one of them a famous attorney I'm starting to wonder if I should blame the Detectives or the Captain. So, Cragen what's going on? Are your Detectives asses glued to their chairs!? I want result Cragen or have you burnt out." Commissioner Morris demanded.
"No Sir, believe me when I say my Detectives are working their asses off to get this guy."
"I want you to keep me updated Cragen."
"Yes Sir."

"Where the hell are we on this case people!?" Cragen yelled.
"Benson and Stabler went to track down Thomas Miller. After a lot of researchin' we were able to match the plates of his motorcycle to a Jim Harling. His wife reported the bike stolen yesterday. Miller has sister down in Jersey so we think he may be hidin' out there. Also Munch and I are tryin' to find out the true identity of Derek Hollister." Fin informed the Captain.

"Sure." Elliot said handing the girl his badge.
The brown haired girl examined Elliot badge for few minutes then handed it back to Elliot, "Is my Mommy in trouble?" she asked.
"No, is you Mom here?" Olivia asked kneeling down to the little girl level.
"No, she at work, but my Uncle Tommy is. He's taking a nap. I have to be quiet and play with my dolls." The girl replied.
"We need to talk to your Uncle." Elliot told the little girl smiling.
"Do you want me to get him?" She asked.
"No, just tell us which room is his." Elliot stated.
"The first door on the left." The little girl replied.
Olivia said her thanks to the girl and told her to stay put. Elliot and Olivia made their way into Thomas Miller bedroom weapons drawn, "Wake up, Thomas." Elliot said.
"What the hell." Thomas exclaimed when he saw Elliot's gun in face.

"Which where all dropped." Thomas rebutted.
"Yeah, so you celebrated by beating up on Hazel Norris." Elliot said.
"I don't even know that bitch." Thomas stated.
"Really 'cause her cousin said you were her boyfriend." Elliot replied.
"Fine. I dated her, but whatever the bitch said I did, she's lying." Thomas told the Detectives.
"Hazel is dead you moron, and you know what I think you killed." Elliot stated.
"I didn't kill Hazel. I would never hurt her!" Thomas screamed.
"Oh, so using her like your personal punching bag isn't hurting her." Olivia said.
"I didn't kill her." Thomas spoke in a softer tone.

"Dickie, get you things together. Olivia will be here any minute to tutor you in Spanish." Elliot told his son
"Can't I watch a few more minutes of this show?" Dickie asked his eyes never leaving the TV.
"No, turn off the TV and get your homework out." Elliot said while picking up some of Eli's toys that were scattered over the living room.
"Elizabeth, honey, it almost time for dinner are you going to join us or sulking in room all night long?" Elliot questioned his youngest daughter, who locked herself in her room earlier this evening.
"I'm not sulking." Lizzie muffled voice came through her room door.
Elliot brought his thumb and index finger to the bridge of this nose.
"Dickie, do you know what you sister's issue is?" Elliot asked
"Yeah, she's PMSing." Dickie replied nonchalantly
"Dickie!"
"What she is, Dad."
The sound of the door bell ringing filled the Stabler household signaled that Olivia Benson had arrived/Elliot smiled and picked Eli out of his high chair, "Come on Eli, let's greet Olivia." Elliot walked over to the door then opened it.
"Hey." Elliot said.
"Hi El, Hey Eli, look how big you're getting." Olivia said smiling at Eli.
Eli buried his face in Elliot chest, "Oh Eli, come on, you know who Liv is."
The one year old lifted his head and smiled, "Liv." He squealed.
Olivia smiled and gave Eli a kiss on the cheek, "You have a real heart breaker on your hands." Olivia said.
"Yeah, well I broke a couple hearts in my day." Elliot told his partner.
"Sure you did El." Olivia responded sarcastically.
"Hey Olivia." Dickie said from his seat at the table.
"Hey, Dickie. You're getting more handsome every time I see you." Olivia said causing the fifteen year old to blush.
"Thanks."
"Where's Lizzie?"
"She's having some type of teenage problem." Elliot said, "I'm going to talk to her, can you start helping Dickie with his Spanish." Elliot placed Eli in is playpen
"Yeah."
"Thanks."
Elliot made his way to his daughter's room leaving Olivia and Dickie alone to work on Spanish.
"Alright Dickie let's get stated."
"Umm… Olivia I have something to show before we start okay."
"Okay."
Dickie pulled his backpack up from the chair beside him fishing though the main pocket searching for a paper he had discarded there. Dickie sighed when he found the crumpled piece of paper he had discarded his bag earlier in the day. Dickie handed Olivia the crumpled paper, Olivia took the paper from the teenager and un-crumpled it. Olivia looked at the piece of paper that read progress report on the top. Olivia scanned the paper then her eyes fell on the grade.
"Dickie, you have an F in Spanish." Olivia spoke softly.
"I know, my dad going to kill me when he finds out."
"Dickie, can you explain to me what's going on?"
"I haven't been turning in my homework and I failed a couple of quizzes and tests."
"Okay, did you talk to your teacher about this?"
"Yeah, she allowing me to make up the homework assignments I missed. And retake a few of my quizzes and test over. Dad has to sign my progress report, but I know he's going to really upset when he sees this."
"Okay, this is what we're going to do. I'm going to help you make up all your homework assignments. Then where going to get you a good study routine so you can ace all you quizzes and tests. And I will talk to you father about you progress report. Okay"
"Thanks Olivia."
"You're welcome now let's get started on this homework alright."
Elliot knocked on his daughter's door before opening it, "Hey, honey, what's going on?" Elliot asked Lizzie who was lying on bed clutching her stuffed dog.
"I don't want to talk about it." Lizzie said softly.
"Lizzie, did something happen at school?" Elliot asked taking a seat at the edge of Lizzie's bed.
"No, Dad, please I really don't feel like talking right now." Lizzie said turning to face away from her father.
"Well, can you a least have dinner with us?" Elliot asked
"I'm not very hungry, dad." Lizzie whispered
"Okay." Elliot said while placing a kiss on Lizzie forehead.
Elliot left Lizzie room closing the door behind him. Elliot let out a sigh and leaned against his daughter's room door he stayed there for a while hopping Lizzie would call out to him. She didn't and Elliot made his way to the kitchen.
"Hey, guys, how's the Spanish going?" Elliot asked.
"Pretty good, Dickie's making progress." Olivia replied smiling.
"That's good."
"Dad, I'm hungry I can't work on an empty stomach." Dickie told his father has he put down his pencil
"Don't worry Son. Food will be ready in a minute."
"Great, what are we having?"
"Chicken, rice, and broccoli."
"Hmm, sounds good Dad."
"Is Lizzie going to join us?" Olivia asked.
"No, she's says she not hungry." Elliot replied
"El-"
"I don't want to push her Liv."
"Let me talk to her I used be a teenage girl."
Elliot thought for a while before saying "Alright, but wait for while I don't want her to feel I like I'm ambushing her."
"Okay."
Elliot, Olivia and Dickie ate dinner in silent, when they were done eating dinner Dickie and Olivia finished up Dickie's homework, once Dickie homework was done the teenager went to his room to play on his Gameboy.
"I'm going to make a plate for Lizzie." Olivia said.
"She said she wasn't hungry." Elliot reminded her.
"Trust me El, she's hungry. I'll be right back."
Olivia made her way to Lizzie room with a plate of food for her, Olivia knocked on Lizzie door, "Go away Dad." Lizzie said.
"It's Olivia can I come in? I brought food."
"Umm… yeah, come in."
Olivia opened the door and smiled at Lizzie.
"Hey, I brought you some food." Olivia said taking a sit on Lizzie desk chair
"Thanks." Lizzie whispered taking the plate from Olivia
"You want to tell me what's going on."
"You're going think it's stupid."
"No I won't"
"My mom and I had a fight."
"About what?"
"Homecoming. You see I got asked by this guy."
"Yeah, what's his name?"
"Collin Reynolds."
"Sounds cute."
"He is cute, but the problem is I don't have a dress for Homecoming. Mom was supposed to take me shopping but, she had work and things got in the way. So asked mom if we could go shopping tomorrow since Homecoming on Saturday, but she has to work then I yelled at her, and then she yelled back. I know it's silly."
"It's not silly you're fifteen and you want to go to Homecoming. Your mom busy, so I'll take you shopping."
"You will?"
"Yes, but you have to get your Mom and Dad's permission first."
"Okay I'll call mom in the morning, thanks Liv."
"Yeah, no problem." Olivia said giving Lizzie a kiss on the cheek.
Olivia smiled at the teenager before leaving her room. Elliot saw Olivia leave Lizzie room and enter the living room.
"How'd it go?" Elliot asked his partner as came into the living room.
"It went well. she was just having a teenage crisis, but I handled it."
"Do I even want to know?"
Olivia smiled at her partner, "El, I have to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Dickie."
"I thought you said he was getting the hang of Spanish."
"He is a little better. It's just...Here." Olivia handed Elliot the wrinkled looking paper.
"What's this?"
"It's Dickie's progress report for his Spanish class."
"He's failing Spanish." Elliot said as he stared at his son's progress reports.
"Yes, but it's okay."
"How is my son failing okay!"
"Calm down Elliot."
"I'm going to kill him after everything I did for him he goes and does this."
"Elliot, it's just a progress report so he has time to bring it up. He's teacher is letting him hand in all his missing homework assignments and makeup the quizzes and tests. I'm going to help create a good study routine for him so he can pass all his quizzes and tests. By the time the report cards come he have an A or B in the class."
"Okay." Elliot said letting out a sigh
"Alright, don't yell at Dickie he knows what he has to do in order to get his grade up."
Elliot nodded his and ran his hand over his hair. Olivia smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. The two sat in silent for a while then Olivia phone went off. Olivia reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
"It's Matt I got go, he's on his way to my place."
"I'll walk you out."
"Thanks."
"Goodnight El."
"Night Liv." Elliot said placing a kiss on Olivia cheek.
Olivia smiled at Elliot as left the apartment. Elliot closed the door and lean on the apartment door and a smile graced his face.
