"Stabler," Captain Cragen called out of his office. "My office. Now."

Elliot had the impression that he was in trouble for going to hard on a perp.

"What's up Capt?," he asked cautiously.

"Since your partnerless at the moment due to Lake's injuries, you are going to be partnered with a rookie from another district. The 2-7 to be exact. I've looked at her files and from the looks of it she's one of the best they've seen in a while. Her name is Olivia Benson. When she gets here I want you to fill her in on the case we've got now."

Elliot couldn't believe what he was hearing, and exploded. "What the fuck captain? You can't just throw a rookie on me! Not right now!"

"I can and I will Stabler! This is not open for debate. You will deal with these circumstances professionally and if necessary I will bench you. Got it?"

"Yeah," Stabler responded reluctantly.

Cragen sighed. He hated it when he had to be tough on any of his detectives.
"You've forgotten what it's like to be a rookie. How hard it was walking in here. The stares, people constantly questioning your abilities and judgment. But now, you've established yourself as a detective so you don't think about the past."

Elliot calmed down a bit. "Captain, with all do respect. I understand where your coming from, but, a rookie?"

"Yes, she will be here in a few hours. Until then I want you to continue working this case. You can go."

Stabler didn't want a new partner, especially not a rookie. He walked back to his desk and continued to work on the case. He was not going to be benched because of his temper and outspoken ways.

Fin and Munch were watching from across the squadroom, and watching Elliot's moods.
"How do you think he took the news?," Munch asked.

"Hard to tell right now but I ain't gonna be the one to ask," Fin told him.
They continued their paperwork.

All of the detectives were working hard on the case trying to get a lead. The case was only 1 day old and it seemed it was already going cold. Sara Parks, 25, single mother of a 3 year old was brutally raped and beaten by an unknown male. He wore gloves and when he raped her wore a condom. He gagged her using a cloth and also wore a mask.

There were very few clues Sara could give the police as to who did this. She said his eye color was a blue-green and his hair color was a sandy brown color from what she could see sticking out of the mask. He was average height and weight. About 6 feet tall and 200-250 pounds. She said it was to hard to tell his age but if she had to guess it was mid twenties to early thirties. There isn't anyone in her life with that description.

After about 2 hours of all of the detectives looking over possible leads and getting a list of possible suspects and places to visit/search, they noticed a young woman walk in.

Stabler walked over ot her.
"Excuse me, can I help you?"

"Uhm, yes actually. I'm looking for Captain Cragen's office. I'm the rookie, Olivia Benson." She held out her hand.

Elliot paused. He was taken aback by his new partner. Her striking beauty. He held out his hand to meet hers.

"Elliot Stabler. His office is right over there." He smiled as he said it, something he didn't do often at work. She smiled back. "Thanks."

He watched as she walked away, now thinking that having a new partner wouldn't be so bad.

Olivia was also thinking about the detective she just met. She walked into Captain Cragen's office and started to speak.

She knocked on the outside of his door while she walked in. "Captain Cragen? I'm Olivia Benson."

"Our new detective, it's a pleasure." He shook her hand. "If you don't mind, I'm gonna have you get started right away. I figured you would be one that can learn as they go. Your partner is going to be Detective Elliot Stabler. He's one of the best we have."

Olivia had to keep her look of composure as she began to speak again.

"We just met. He's the one who pointed me this way."
"Great. then I guess you know where your new desk is going to be." He opened the top drawer of his desk.

"Here is your gun and badge. Stabler will fill you in on the case we've got. Welcome to the team."
Olivia gave a tiny smile. "Thanks." She grabbed her new gun and badge with a sense of pride and walked out towards her new desk.
