Bad Moon Rising

Elliot leaned back in his chair. SVU was humming with activity yet he felt like time was standing still. All around him was movement yet he felt as if he was stuck in tar. He glanced toward the door and felt his eyes widen. Her long dark red hair curled gently at the ends. She was tall and curvy. Her black jeans and grey t shirt were flattering to her body shape. Her bright blue eyes scanned the room and she smiled warmly when they came to rest on him.

    "You must be Elliot Stabler. Julie Steel, nice to meet you." she said walking towards him.

Elliot stood from his desk and took her extended hand to shake it. He noticed her black painted nails shining in the lights. He also became aware of Munch and Finn gawking at her from their desks.

    "Nice to meet you Julie. Welcome to SVU."

    "Thanks, should I take this desk?" She said motioning to the desk opposite his.

    "Yeah, sure. That was Olivia's desk but you can take it for now." Elliot said sitting back in his chair.

    "Oh Olivia Benson right? I've met her a couple times. Nice woman, I know I have some big shoes to fill." she smiled at him as she settled into her seat.

Fin and Munch came over to her desk to introduce themselves Munch had a big goofy grin on his face and Fin was unbashedly sizing her up.

    "Hey I'm Odefin Tutuolla everyone calls me Fin and this goofy looking guy here is John Munch." Fin said offering her his hand.

She smiled and shook both their hands. Her eyes sparkled slightly when she smiled. Elliot couldn't help but notice them.

    "Nice to meet you guys. I'm surprised, the captain told me to expect some hostility but you guys have been really nice."

Elliot smirked and let out a chuckle.

    "We caught something." Cragen's voice rang out in the large room. "Steel, Stabler, in my office."

Elliot followed Julie into the captain's office. Truth be told he just wanted to watch her walk. Her ass looked perfect in her jeans. He imagined running his hands over it, feeling the fullness of it. The captain's voice snapped him back to reality.

    "Lower east side, body dump. Female, early 20's. Raped and pretty much torn to shreds. "

Elliot and Julie looked at each other.

    "Looks like possible animal involvement. Warner is already on the scene. Get down there ASAP."

Elliot made his way out the door, Julie close behind. It was a surprisingly warm spring day in New York. Elliot rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt as they walked out onto the street.

    "You wanna drive?" she asked putting on a pair of oversized, mirrored aviators.

    "Yeah sure, why not."
