Olivia was cold and tired. This case was really beginning to suck. Who wanted to stay up going through stacks and stacks of paperwork in January? It was 2:23 A.M. on a Friday, no scratch that, now it was Saturday. Why did she stay? She told herself it was because she needed to get it done but deep down she new the real truth.

She was lightly shaken awake bởi Melinda Warner. "Liv bạn should be home." Warner said. "Hmmm." was Liv's sleepy response. "Then why are bạn here?" Liv muttered. "I'm always here at 5:00 a.m." Melinda đã đưa ý kiến with a hint of pride. Olivia looked at her like she might be crazy. "I like to clean a lot." Melinda đã đưa ý kiến simply. "Why didn't I go trang chủ last night?" Olivia asked herself out loud. Melinda sat down in Elliot's chair sensing this could become a real conversation. Olivia felt a pang of anger. That was Elliot's spot. She failed to suppress a slight growl. Warner shot Liv a puzzled look. "He sits there." she đã đưa ý kiến quietly. "Liv tell me the reason bạn didn't go home." Melinda asked. "I-"Liv started, "Liv, I want the real answer." she interrupted. Liv stopped and put her head in her hands. "There was nothing to go trang chủ to." she đã đưa ý kiến tears forming in her eyes. Melinda wrapped her in a hug. Olivia cried quietly into the M.E.'s jacket."El is never gonna be there."
