7th December
Thursday 5pm
Captain Cragen let out a heavy sigh as he placed the phone back onto the receiver. To say that he was having a bad day wouldn't even come close, he was past wondering why he ever stopped drinking. Last Monday a case was passed over from homicide just as they all got ready to go home, a girl in her late teens had been found dead in a alley way. she was on a well know hookers street so all the seminal fluids weren't a shock, the auction number on her chest was.
He walked over to the door letting out another heavy sigh before going to let his detectives know. Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler were sat at their desks going over statements for the 5th time that day.
"That was the feds" Cragen announced walking through the door "they don't have the time or the resources to deal with this and they don't think we do either."
"so they just want us to drop the case? captain we can't do that" Olivia protested from behind a pile of unfinished paperwork.
"There's nothing we can do, we need people to go undercover. No one here has the time or experience for this " Cragen defended. He hated the fact that the Jane doe they had found wasn't going to get any justice and all the girls that were getting sold at god knows where.
"I do, I can handle this" Olivia said ignoring Elliot's protested "Huang can help me with a profile" .
"Olivia these are dangerous people and you don't have the experience for it" Cragen said raising his voice "and that's the last I want to hear about it". He turned and walked back into his office slamming the door behind, he wasn't frustrated with Olivia but with himself.
"eight damn hours" Fin complained as he walked into the precinct followed by Munch "Alex is going to have your ass"
"what took so long?" Elliot asked glancing down at his watch. Fin walked over to his desk and collapsed into his chair while Munch turned to answer Elliot.
"The justice system in this country is beyond repair, a simple remark about the suspect and the whole case is seen as unfit to continue".
Elliot and Olivia both glanced at Fin hoping for a simpler explanation.
"he compared the suspect to jack the ripper , judge decaled a mistrial" fin explained
"Because you talked about a famous murderer ?" Olivia questioned
"Na the mistrial was declared after he made juror number 3 cry" fin said shaking his head at Munch who simply held up his hand and muttered "don't ask" as he went to make a coffee.
Several hours later the office was fairly quiet as Elliot had returned home after several missed calls from Kathy while John had been dragged from the office by a very annoyed ADA. Captain Cragen had been called away by the press who were demanding to know what was happening with their Jane Doe case.
Olivia kept glancing up at Fin making sure to avoid any eye contact, she couldn't let this Jane Doe case go. She couldn't get the picture of her laying down that dirty alley while the man that did it was off killing or buying more women.
"Liv baby if you're struggling to keep your hands to yourself all you have to do is ask" Fin smirked leaning back in his chair. Olivia rolled her eyes and tried to stop herself from smiling.
"I was just thinking about something but it's complicated" Olivia tried to explain.
"I'm up for anything you are" Fin smiled.
"I'm being serious here Fin"
"me too baby" Fin held his hands up in defence as Olivia started to walk away "ok I'm sorry, what is it?". Fin grabbed her gently and spun her round to face him, wiping the smile from his face trying to show her he was being serious.
"There's a problem in the case me and Elliot are working and Cragen's stalling" Olivia said staring into his eyes trying to gage his reaction.
"Why?" Fin asked confused, the captain only put a stop to something when it was serious and that usually ended up with Olivia or Elliot going behind his back anyway.
"we need to send someone in undercover but the feds don't have the time. Cragen doesn't want me to do it because I don't have much experience in this sort of thing but ..."
"I do" fin smiled, he liked being reminded that he had a use around the place.
"Really? " she smiled back. It was easier than she expected.
"so what's the gig?"
"Selling young woman "
"ok so you want me to pretend I want to buy?"
"no..." Olivia bite her lip.
"What?" fin asked narrowing his eyes, he could tell by her body language she was lying about something.
"We don't know much about it, we need someone to go in to chat to some of them and gather some information"
"you need a pimp" it wasn't a question, it was a statement. "who exactly will you be? "
"anyone you want me to be." Olivia said with a playful wink "I'm sure you can trick the mafia". Fins smile fell, his eyes widened into that of shock and he started to walk towards the door.
"the mafia!" he shouted walking away
"hey fin" Olivia shouted shock, fin turned to face her just as he was about to step through the doors .
"I'm not doing it, these people are too dangerous liv." fin replied before leaving. Olivia let out a sigh before heading back to her desk. It was going to be a long night.
8th December
Friday 9am
Olivia suppressed another yawn as she scribbled down a name and number from a screen. she was determined to catch a break even if she had to do it on her own. Glancing at her watch she knew that everyone would be here soon and she only had moments before she would have to cover her tracks. Lying wasn't one of her strong points especially when Elliot was there.
"Liv tell me you haven't been here all night" Elliot said walking into the precinct looking over at Olivia, she was wearing the same stripped black suit as yesterday and her short hair was facing very direction "have you even slept?"
Olivia didn't even glance up from the file and only grunted in response as she switched the computer off and began to pile her files back up.
"Did she go home?" John asked as everyone else appeared in the doorway.
"Go home Olivia" Cragen said walking over to see what she was working on. He flicked open the only file not piled up "I told you to drop this case".
"I was just finishing some things up" Olivia said standing up "Captain there's been a accident, my friends died so can I get some time off ".
"Sure take all the time you need" Cragen replied glancing suspiciously, he knew she was lying but she took these cases to heart and needed time every now and then.
Olivia grabbed a piece of paper off her desk and walked out leaving them all stood starring at each other.
"Hold on, I count four people here" John declared pointing at each of them in turn.
"so?" fin moaned walking over to his desk.
"well we all seem alive, Olivia has friends outside of work?"
"shut up and sit your ass down, these dd5's have been on your desk for 3 days"
"Yeah and you're in enough trouble John" Cragen said walking to his office, Munch gave his captain a wary smile hoping he hadn't been told the true extend of the trouble he had caused.
Surely she wouldn't just go home and give up on the case fin thought grabbing his latest case file. She wouldn't be stupid even to go hunting on the streets by herself, Liv could handle herself but these kind of people would kill blow up a bus just to kill a single person. Fin shuck his head. He knew deep down that Olivia would do anything to help, even that undercover job in a prison nearly had her raped or worse killed.
"Shit" fin grabbed his keys and jogged from the office ignoring a sarcastic remark from munch involving the office being on fire. He raced down the steps taking them two at a time nearly going head of heals as he missed one of the steps. He raced out the doors of the building and looked round but she wasn't anywhere in sight. Fin walked around the car park glancing at the cars and their number plates eventually finding Olivia's car which was the only one with a broken side mirror.
"hey, what's wrong ?" Olivia asked coming up behind fin "is everything ok?".
"What you up to liv?" fin turned round and leaned against her car and looked straight into her eyes "and don't give me that friend dying crap".
Olivia handed fin a piece of paper from her jacket pocket, the note read 'Billie Johnson 01915862929'. "He works narcotics, he said he wants to meet up for lunch".
"yeah I know who this guy is, you're going undercover with him" Fin closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again "Fine, I'll do it".
"Fin you don't have to, this guy has done undercover before. We'll be fine, don't worry about it"
"This guy can't even tie his shoe laces without everyone guessing he's a cop. He'll get you both killed."
"You'll really don it?" Olivia asked smiling. Fin nodded and Olivia leapt forward and kissed Fin on his cheek.
"Come on, we still have to ask captain" Fin smiled back putting an arm around Olivia.
