Hello! Alright. I'm Lawandordergal for those of you who don't know my name, and for those of you who do, Brown Eyes That Never Cry will be up later today. Yay for me for getting everything done! Okay, so this is gonna be a really fun fic. I'm enjoying writing it… A LOT. I think you'll like it. This is based off of my recent trip to China.
Disclaimer: Maybe in a year? Two years? Three Years?...
Title: Made in China
Fiction rating: T
Summary: When the squad goes to China for a law enforcement conference, what could happen on the 18-day tour Cragen signs them up for afterwards?
I'd like to give a special thanks to everyone who helped me out with thinking of a title. You guys rock!
"You know Elliot, you really should try it sometime." Olivia Benson told her partner. They were sitting in the squad room with their fellow detectives.
"Are you crazy? Lamb brain? I do not eat strange foods." Elliot Stabler replied. "Lamb brain is a strange food."
"It's good!"
"Yeah. You go eat that then."
"I do have to agree with Liv on that one." John Munch said.
"Detectives!" Captain Don Cragen yelled to get the group's attention.
"Yeah?" Detective Tutuola responded.
"I have something for you." he said, handing a manila envelope to each of the four. Elliot tore open the letter and pulled out the contents.
Dear Detective Elliot Stabler,
You have been invited to attend the 13th annual International Law Enforcement Conference 2006. It will be held October 9th – 13th, 2006. Accommodations will be at the Grand Hotel Beijing, one of Beijing's five-star hotels. Room fees will be taken care of by the hotel. This conference will last five days long, and flights are already booked for you. Please call if you cannot attend, as it will be assumed that you are coming.
Sincerely,
Mr. Paul J. Watson
Head of Department of International Law Enforcement Communication
Office Phone: 616-279-4385

"What the hell?"
"Five free nights in a luxury hotel!" Fin exclaimed with joy.
"Umm… This is really short notice." Olivia said, looking up from her paper.
"Hey! They just wanna give us five great nights so that before we leave, the Chinese government will kidnap us and use us as test subjects for their secret experiments!"
"You and you're conspiracy stories." Elliot said, rolling his eyes.
"Munch, are you insane?" Fin asked.
"What do you think?"
"Well I-"
"Don't answer that." Munch cut Olivia off.
"Detectives!" Cragen shouted, finally getting everyone to shut up. "You're all going."
"Says who?" John protested.
"Me. This is a conference that law enforcement officers around the world attend. Only the best of the best are invited. Casey, Huang, and Warner are going too. Now all of your hard work has paid off."
"What? By going to some shitty lecture that lasts five day?" Munch clearly did not want to attend.
"Yes. This is an honor. A recognition. And no. While we are in China, I decided we should have a little fun. After 5 days of crap, we will meet up with a tour group and enjoy a little tour."
"What? How long is this tour?" Detective Stabler questioned.
"18 days." Don replied.
"Little tour? 18 days! Wow!" Fin was surprised.
"Sounds interesting." Detective Benson commented.
"Who is going to pay for all of this?" asked a worried Munch.
"Your yearly bonus. Instead of money this time, you get a trip!" Cragen answered.
"Can I have a gift receipt?" requested Elliot.
"Come on Elliot, you don't think it'd be fun to take an international vacation?" Fin persuaded him.
"But – Alright…" he sighed.
So… What did you think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Do you want another chapter? Let me know in a REVIEW!
