you leaving wasn't the hardest part, the hardest part was when you came back

chapter 1 - Sergeant Benson

Olivia and Cragen were in the office, they were the last ones left after he announced that he was retiring. it was still hard to believe that this day was already here  " I know you are gonna be a good captain Liv, I believe in you " she smiled " thanks that means a lot coming from you, you thought me how to become a good detective " " you earned this Liv,  but  before I go, there is something I want you to do for me. " he said putting down the last box with his things." anything, what is it ?" she nodded as she rested on the arm of the chair in now  her office. Cragen puts his hands into his pockets  " I want you to hire someone who will help you around here." okay who?" she asked folding her arms over her chest. " I want you to hire Elliot back, he called me and asked to come back " " what?  are you serious?... no! " " he was one of my best detectives, I can't say no to him, so please  do this for me" Olivia was not happy  "I have finally moved on with my life, I had put him in my past, and now you ask  me to take him back?" Olivia snorted, she couldn't believe this was happening. Cragen puts his hand on her shoulder and looked down at her. " ...... he also said that he misses you I know you two will work it out somehow" " okay fine, but if I kill him, it's gonna be on you"  he smiled " sure and thanks " he picked up the box and walked towards the door " take care of this place... Captain" he smiled  "I will, you are gonna be so missed, " Olivia said smiling and watched as he walked out the office for the last time. 

Olivia sat down behind her desk, she couldn't believe that she is the Captain now, after so many years of hard work, and she knows that she has Elliot to thank for this, he helpt her through the years to get here .....
