VIRGINIA
"Doesn't another DA normally handle stuff with you guys?" Virginia asked playfully.
"Yes but he unfortunately had to recuse himself." She nodded in understand and gathered her things into a leather briefcase.
"Well I'll get these to a judge and call you when they're ready okay." Liv nodded and walked out of the office.
For the rest of the case Manhattan SVU called upon ADA Virginia Fredrick. She was a nice woman, sarcastic, sassy but kind none the less.
Normally they just ignored her, the other ADA's, SVU they really only focused on each other. She'd been envious for a while.
It was her dream to work with, or even talk, to Rafael Barba. He'd been a hero of hers for years. Her grandma kept a picture of him on her mantle. He was the reason she chose this job.
But, surprisingly enough lieutenant Olivia Benson must have taken a liking to her because every couple of weeks she got a call from SVU. Her caseload was heavier than an anvil but she enjoyed every second of it.
In fact today she was called into SVU to discuss an ongoing case. She wore pants, a top and a blazer. Both casual and professional at the same time. Her hair was in a bun, her eyelashes curled, her feet in high heeled shoes and her makeup done.
She was alone in the elevator going up and once she was off she went straight to the lieutenant's office. She walked confidently, knocking on the slightly open door and letting herself in.
She was more than surprised to see a man in her office. She smiled awkwardly.
"Hello lieutenant, you called me here for the McDalton case. Is now a bad time?" She asked.
"So you're the one making my caseload lighter than usual." He wasn't facing her but she could practically hear the smirk.
"No, no. Actually this is perfect timing ADA Virginia Fredrick, ADA Rafael barba, Barba this is Virginia Fredrick." Her eyes widened as he finally turned towards her.
"Lovely to meet my new competition.” He said, sticking his hand out. She grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Likewise Mr.Barba." She stared into his eyes as she spoke. She was absolutely inthralled.
"Please, Rafael." She took her hand back and blushed ever so slightly.
"Virginia." She geared a cough behind her and turned towards Liv. She was snapped back to reality.
"Nice meeting you Virginia." Rafael said as he left the office.
"You too, Rafael." She smiled in his direction as he left.
She stepped back and sat down as Liv stood and shut the door.
"So the McDalton case. Virginia? Virginia?" Her head snapped up, but she was still in shock.
"I just met Rafael Barba. Oh my gods. I can't believe I'm on a first name basis with Rafael Barna. Rafael." Liv looked at her confused.
Virginia seemed to realize as she looked back up. She laughed awkwardly and smiled at the ground.
"Sorry, he's one of my hero's, I've always wanted to meet him." Liv smiled at her.
"I don't think I've ever seen you starstruck Virginia." She said laughing at the young girls enthusiasm.
"Sorry, anyway the McDalton case." They went back to work quickly. Virginia was still dazed from the earlier interaction.
Maybe she'd be seeing him again soon.
