Carrie pulled Fin aside later that day. "Why didn't anyone tell me that Elliot's old partner got killed?" Fin did not answer, thinking of the promise he and the others had made Elliot. Carrie's voice got higher, pleading with him."Please tell me."

Fin sighed. "Elliot would kill me if he found out I told you. But he did, telling Carrie all there was to know about Elliot and Olivia. That's why he has been a jerk to you lately. He was devastated when she died. She died jumping in front of a bullet meant for him. That's what hurts the most to him.

The next day Carrie got to work early and opened Elliot's desk drawer. There was Olivia's shield. She then pulled out a photo album. After making sure no one was around, she opened it. Every picture was one of Elliot and Olivia. Some were from a long time ago, both of them in their early 30s. Some were from only a few months before her death. She was turning a page when Elliot came in the room.

"What are you doing?" Elliot was yelling, angrier then Carrie had ever seen him. "Why are you looking through my stuff?" He grabbed the photo album off of her, shoved it in his desk, and slammed it shut.

"I saw Olivia's file, and I asked Fin, and and… I just wanted to know why you acted the way you did. She softened her voice. "I'm really sorry for your loss." She tried to send him what she thought was a submissive face, but Elliot was still shaking with anger. "Go away now" he got out.

Carrie hurried away before he would start getting physical or something. As Elliot watched her walk away he felt a bit sorry. He was angry that she had snooped, but he should have told her In the 1st place. He knew that he should be getting over Olivia's death but her couldn't. Carrie was a nice enough woman, Fin got along well with her. Then he had an idea.

…

3 months later, Fin and Carrie were partners, as was Munch and Elliot. He still hurt from his partner's death every day, but Munch zany theories managed to make him laugh a little. He got along better with Carrie now, but they had both agreed that being partners was never going to work out. Munch was better for him anyways, since he wasn't so overprotective of him like he had been of Olivia and even Carrie. Kathy was even fighting less with him now, and his kids held less of a grudge. He would always miss her, but he knew that Olivia would want him to be happy. That night he held her shield for a moment before going to bed. "Godd night Liv" he whispered.

I hope you don't mind the ending! I'm sorry that I had to bring Kathy in, but I wanted him to be happy. Keep watching for more stories-please review!
