Olivia made her way to her desk and gathered her things. Fin and Munch had come in by this point and they grew mischievously quiet when the young woman entered the room.

They watched as their new recruit and the man who you sometimes feared had a silent conversation.

Elliot watched her with confusion and begged to ask why she was leaving, but he knew she'd snap.

When she went to her locker, the man slipped by and took whatever was just about to fall out of her purse, which happened to be her keys.

Munch saw this and threw a wad of paper at Fin. They both watched as Olivia left and Amanda Rollins came in, giving all who saw her a confused look. The three men shrugged.

Just as Olivia left, she realized her keys weren't in her purse. Luckily she hadn't gotten in the elevator yet.

She did a 180 and meant to go back, but the man whom she'd just snapped at was there, holding what she needed. "They were on your chair," he explained quickly.

"Oh? They must've fallen out or something," she said quietly. "Thanks."

"Before you go," Elliot said, "I know you don't want me prying, but just...just know you can call me, alright? I know you don't know many people here so..."

She nodded and looked into his eyes, noticing just then how blue they were. He had already seen her brown eyes as milk chocolate and nearly black, studying her without realizing. But Olivia never thought to take him in until now.

"I-I, uh, really have to go," Olivia said, backing up.

"Okay," Elliot said.

They awkwardly watched each other until Olivia had gotten to the elevator.

Meanwhile, Nicole had just gotten to school.

She walked in and found her clique, joining in on conversation like any other day.

Someone came up behind Kat. Mikey, this guy she was sort of seeing. Nicole knew something was up, though, having inherited the detective gene.

Mikey came up and slapped Kat on the backside. She looked really uncomfortable but smiled at him.

"Hey, babe," Mikey said seductively. "Wanna come over after school today?"

"I have stuff to do today," Kat said quietly.

All the friends watched as the exchange went down. Most didn't get that this was harassment, but it was the first thing that came to mind with Nicole.

"I don't take no for an answer."

"Yeah? Well you do this time," Kat snapped.

"Hey!" Mikey's voice grew louder. "You're coming with me after school. Got it?"

Kat nodded, her fearless vibe cowering. She was tough but Mikey was big and very strong. Everyone feared him when he wasn't getting what he wanted.

The group went back to talking, but Nicole couldn't help but have the last couple of minutes run through her mind.

~2:46 PM~

Nicole walked into her home noting the fact the apartment was clean. It wasn't when she left and she figured their babysitter wouldn't do anything.

But Lucy, much to her surprise , happened to round up all the toys and straighten the pillows and things.

"Thanks, Lucy," Nicole said. It was Friday, a payday. The teen took the money her mother gave her to pay Lucy with and handed it to her, getting her sister back in return.
