"And you are?" The man asks
"I'm, Elliot" he says
"Stabler?" The man asks in shock
"Erm yeah....how did you.."
"Liv talks about you all the time" the man says cutting him off
"Oh, may I ask who you are?" Elliot says
"ADA, Rafael Barba" he replies, offering to shake Elliot's hand.
"Are, Erm, are you and Olivia, like, together?" Elliot asks
"God I wish! But no, she has just come out of a relationship. Which I'm happy about. Ed Tucker is an ass" Barba says
"Olivia was dating Tucker. Like IAB Tucker!?" Elliot asks
"Yeah, but she broke it off," he says as he looks down at his watch. "Erm, you will have to excuse me, I have to go pick up Noah"
"Noah?"
"Yeah, Olivia's son"
"Olivia has a son?!"
"Erm, yes. She adopted him a few years back when we had a terrible case. Little Noah has done her the world of good, since what happened and all"
"What happened?"
"You really don't know allot do you stabler? Just under a year before she adopted Noah, erm, we had a case, long story short, the man, that we could never convict, he kidnapped Olivia, twice, and he hurt her. She won't admit it. But I know he did. She wasn't doing too good. She was drinking again, but then Noah came along. And she is doing better than ever" Barba explains
Elliot stands with his jaw open. He can't believe what he has just herd.
"Hang on. You are Liv's old partner aren't you?"
"Yeah"
"That's what she meant"
"Excuse me?"
"When she was making her statement to IAB about her attacked, I was with her. She said that she handcuffed him. And she was talking to him. She didn't tell IAB what she said to him, but she told me, when I drove her home. She said, that her old partner would know what to do with him. He would break his arms, legs, back, face, after what he had done to Olivia. She was tempted to call you. But she didn't think that you would turn up" Barba explains
Now there are tears forming in Elliot's eyes, threatening to spill. He clears his throat.
"This man... That hurt Olivia. Where is he?" He asks in a half hurt half angry tone
"He, killed himself. IAB, Tucker especially, tried to blame Liv, for shooting him. But he shot himself. That's why I can't believe that Liv would even consider Tucker, you know?"
"Yeah" Elliot replies as he glances over to Olivia.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. But I really need to get going"
