Olivia furrowed a brow as she came into the office. She was coming to get a few things and she was supposed to transfer today. Though she couldn't help but notice the paperwork on the desk. It was the reassignment for Cal. He'd taken the Lieutenant's exam? Something she should have known about, but maybe in the jumble of things they got overlooked. It had been a rough couple months.

"Congratulations Lieutenant" she stated as she set the official notice on his desk. "Bomb Squad. That's a tough assignment to bite off" she offered. Everyone knew when you were promoted you didn't get to choose where you went. Olivia had been chosen by the mayor to take over as the new chief of police. New mayor meant they could have their choice of who to appoint in the position.

Cal was behind his desk working on some final paperwork for his transfer, all the fun stuff required, he didn't hear Liv approach until she spoke.

"Congratulations Lieutenant"

Cal looked up as the notice was placed down on his desk and glancing at it he sat back with a grin, dropping his pen as he did so "Thanks" a beat "And congratulations Chief" he added. He'd heard over the grapevine but he'd not called Liv out on it, she'd had a lot on and Cal didn't like to just bother people, but taking the Lieutenants exam hadn't been a walk in the park either.

"Bomb Squad. That's a tough assignment to bite off"

Cal nodded clasping his hands behind his head as he leaned back in his chair - looking up at her "Wanted a challenge, they asked me to do Bomb Squad, figured if I said no I'd regret it" he chuckled "You feeling ready for your new position?" he knew it came with a lot of responsibility, but he knew Olivia was good at what she did, she was more than capable of handling it and herself too.

From what he'd gathered, a lot of shuffling and moving around was going on - some good some bad, but bomb squad was a new territory he looked forward to.

Olivia chuckled in her own sort of way. Everyone seemed to know about her appointment aside from her. Sure she knew she had thrown her name up for consideration but it had been a long shot. There were so many more qualified individuals. “You know too?” she raised a brow. Him and Ed.. Sheesh.

Liv shook her head. “Still you be careful out there. It makes SVU look like a walk in the park” she knew her had a good bit of training ahead of him too. “I don’t need to be hearing stories from you. You be safe out there.” Liv pointed out as she leaned on the wall. It was strange given she hadn’t been with the CPD very long and she was already shooting to the top because of her NYPD career. I was awkward.

Liv wasn’t sure how to answer Cal’s question. “It’s definitely a different challenge” she had known SVU her entire career outside of patrol. She had a lot to catch up on, but she’d learned through the years what worked and what didn’t work.

“You know too?”

Cal grinned “Rumour mills, I didn’t take it though, decided to come see for myself” he replied.

“Still you be careful out there. It makes SVU look like a walk in the park”
“I don’t need to be hearing stories from you. You be safe out there.”

Cal nodded, he was all too aware that it was a different walk compared to SVU “Will do” he replied as he leaned back slightly against the wall and crossed his arms “You too boss” he added. Sure Liv’s job would be completely different to his but still, couldn’t be too sure it would be a walk in the park.

“It’s definitely a different challenge”

“Well, challenges are good right?” he offered

Olivia shook her head. Of course that was how it worked. Rumors flew around the 21st precinct like they were hot on rice. She should have known the rest of everyone would know before she did. Just sometimes… she had no idea what to do with the precinct half the time. Liv of course, never liked to listen to the rumors.

“If it weren’t for the challenge, I don’t think most of us would be here in the first place.” She mused as she took a seat at the desk. That was when her phone went off. She excused herself and answered the call.

"This is she" she stated. There was a moment of confusion then the look of horror on her face. "You are absolutely certain? No. I’ll be right down. Yeah. No. It’s my case. I’m sure." she grabbed her things from the desk as she hung up the phone. Looking to Cal she rubbed her eyes. "The suspect who shot at me in the alleyway. One our officers gunned him down, except he still gunned down our officer." She had the look like something was going on. Though that closed that case, she already knew her who her assailant was, now all she had to do was confirm it.

“If it weren’t for the challenge, I don’t think most of us would be here in the first place.” Cal grinned nodding, that was the thing - the challenge was usually one of the many reasons, he fell silent as she took a call "This is she" as her expression changed Cal straightened up, arms crossing over his chest as he stood up straight and watchful "You are absolutely certain? No. I’ll be right down. Yeah. No. It’s my case. I’m sure." As she hung up and started gathering her things he pulled open the door "The suspect who shot at me in the alleyway. One our officers gunned him down, except he still gunned down our officer." Cal rose a brow “Want me to tag along?” he asked although he was going to follow her out regardless, he may be transferring out but he’d still do whatever Liv needed if she needed him or anything.

Cal's offer to tag along she nodded. Really she wasn't even supposed to be going down there but that was beside the point. No one was going to talk her out of it. Moving towards the door already she heard him ask her if she wanted anyone to come along. She simply shrugged. "I've got some officers riding along. You are free to join me?" she offered as she left the room.
