Unbelievable
"Olivia Benson?"
Olivia looked up "That's me" she said
"Here you go" the delivery guy said handing her the package
Olivia took it. It was his handwriting. She sighed as she opened it.
Inside it was his medallion from when he was in the Marines "Semper Fi" which means "Always Faithful" or "Always Loyal" She wondered why he was giving her this.
"Liv" her partner Nick Amaro said to her
Olivia looked up "Yes?"
"You dropped this" Nick said handing a letter to her
Olivia took the letter "Thanks Nick" she said. Nick nodded and walked away
She took a deep breath as she opened the letter
Liv,
I'm so sorry I had to do this to you. I left and I know you probably hate me now. But this isn't the end. Liv I shot a little girl. I cannot go back into that squad room again. Even though Huang cleared me. I just… can't. Kathy and I… I don't even know what we are anymore. We're not together anymore. We divorced. She got tired of me moping around the house so she left. Lizzie and Dickie are still with me because well, they love you. They think now that I've divorced Kathy that I will go to you. Crazy right? But Liv I do want to see you. I miss you. And I also, love you. Yeah that's right I said it. I love you Olivia Benson. I love the way you walk, talk, handle victims in this loving gentle way, how you scare perps into confessing and when you seduce them into confession oh my god. You drive me crazy Benson. I know it's been 2 years since I left, but I'm ready to see you. Meet me at Clyde's at 8 tonight. Wear something nice ;).
Love,
El
P.S. put the chain around the Semper Fi medal.
"Baby-Girl everything alright?" Fin said handing Olivia a tissue
Olivia looked up to find Fin, Munch, Amanda and Nick staring at her wondering what the hell was going on. She herself didn't know she had been crying.
"I'm fine guys" Olivia said taking the tissue
Olivia walked over to Cragen's office and knocked on the door
"Come In!" Cragen yelled
Olivia opened the door and walked in
Cragen looked up to see Olivia his best detective standing there. She looked as if she was crying.
"Olivia." Cragen said softly. "What can I do for you?"
Olivia looked at her captain.
"Cap, I need the rest of the night off." she said hoping he wouldn't go snooping around and asking questions.
Cragen looked at Olivia who NEVER asks for the night off. He usually has to force her to leave.
"Sure Liv. May I ask why?" Cragen asked knowing he'd probably get a lie.
"Personal reasons. I am just really tired and I want to go home and go to bed." Olivia lied.
Cragen knew she was lying. But didn't ask any further questions.
"Alright Liv. See you tomorrow" he said.
Olivia nodded and shut the door
Cragen knew she wasn't going home to bed.
He read that letter. He knows exactly where she's going.
To meet Elliot.
