heya sorry that this has taken me so long to update i will explain.

When you start off your gcse's and the taechers say that you are going to ahve to cut down on your social life/activitys and you think "whatever - that isn't going to happen to me" - you are very much mistaken. And that is what has happened to me. My lovely teachers decided to give me 6 pieces of coursework to do in a very short space of time (three science, two english, one maths).

Being a prefectionist and self proclaimed boff/geek/work-a-holic i have spent every second of my spare time doing that. but now I am free from school as it is my easter holidays - all this spare time to revise YAY sarcasm

so to relax i ahve written you lot another chapter, have fun reading it. it isn't the most action packed chapter but it is getting raedy for all the fun we will have soon. hope that you all enjoy it. apologies for the way olivia speaks i know thta she sounds brittish but i just can't help it (just thank god that she doesn't sound like someone out of a jane austin book - which she did untill i changed how she said everything) but ho-hum the world cant always be perfect and anyway talking like a british ponce rulez(okay i am only saying that because i have been told that i sound very brittish - but that is quite good as i spent a month sounding terribly camp!!!!)

anyho read and enjoy.

(p.s only two days till doctor who - have no idea what that has got to do with this but i tell everyone so hohum)

Jo and Olivia hurried in to the pub.

"Heya." Sam call over from a table, "What took you so long? I thought that maybe you didn't want to go ahead with the plan."

"Sorry Sam, I had an incident involving a Disney CD," Jo explained receiving a questioning look from Sam which she ignored, "Is Spewart here?"

"No not yet, he never bothered to turn up on time when I was seeing him, don't see why he would change his ways now." Sam said bitterly.

"well maybe we can give him the shock to the system he needs that will make him change his ways." Jo comforted Sam, " well, I better go and sit by the bar, if Spewart sees you he might get suspicious."

" Okay, make sure that we can see what is going on, oh, and if you see Gina and Phil send them over here."

Gina and Phil, why would they be here?"

"Well...um...they hearted about what we are doing and wanted to come along and watch."

"Great, spectator sport is it now?" Jo said sarcastically.

"It could be worse, could be a contact sport." Olivia grinned

"Thanks for that mental image" Jo pretended to throw up at the thought of her and Stuart being 'intimate', And headed off to find a table on the other side of the pub just as Stuart came through the doors.

"Hey babe" Stuart sat down next to Jo " sorry that I am late, I was working on a very hard case but no worries I cracked it in the end."

Jo faked a grin; sometimes a conversation with Stuart was like repeatedly bashing yourself over the head with a brick. Her spirits where lifted slightly by the sight of Phil and Gina trying to sneak in unnoticed by Stuart.

"What have we missed?" Gina asked as she sat down next to Olivia.

"Not much, Stuart has only just arrived." Olivia answered.

"Oh right, so are you the new sergeant from America?" Gina questioned.

"Yep, Detective Olivia Benson".

"Enough with the social formalities," Phil interrupted, "can we get on with what we are here for?" Phil smirked as he picked up a small note pad from the table, "so who is betting what?"

"Five quid says he will realise by this time next week," Sam put her money on the table "and ten pounds says that he will shout for more that five minutes when he finds out."

Phil wrote all of this down, "Gina?"

"I bet five pounds on him being told by someone else before he works it out." Gina added her money to the table.

"I have already put ten pound on him finding out by next Friday, shouting for over ten minutes when he finds out and sulking for the rest of the week" Phil told them " Mickey, Zain and Terry have also made bets at work. Do you want to make a bet Olivia?"

"Oh, I don't want to make a bet, thanks" Olivia felt rather uncomfortable at making bets on someone else's miss fortune.

"Go on, don't be a spoil sport" Gina urged

"Oh okay then, I bet however much 5 dollars is in your currency that when he finds out he won't shout much and will just storm out."

Phil quickly scribbled this down "Look Spewart is leaving the bar, lets go see how it went."

Jo came down and sat next to them.

"How did it go, what did he say?" Sam questioned

"Nothing of much interest happened" Jo replied "He had nothing interesting to say not that I was listening much, but he really does believe that I fancy him!"

" I got to go." Olivia said standing up.

"Me too" Sam said " Abby will be wondering where I am."

"Do you want a lift home?" Jo asked Olivia.

"Yeah thanks as long it isn't an inconvenience to you."

Everyone departed and went their own way home, spirits not dampened by the light drizzle.
