"Detective Stabler, if I was you, Id watch my attitude."
Detectives Olivia Benson, John Munch, and Odafin Fin Tutuola stopped what they were doing to watch the exchange between Captain Donald Cragen and Detective Elliot Stabler.
"Well excuse me!"
"Thats it! My office right now! John, you come too."
John knew that Elliot was about to get his first taste of the paddle. Elliot tried to run, but Cragen caught him. When they got into Cragens office, he told Elliot and John to sit down.
"Elliot, Ill give you two choices. You can take an official reprimand, or you can take a paddling."
Elliot thought about it and said, "Ill take the paddling."
"Alright, youll receive 30 swats, 10 on your pants and 20 on your underwear. If you get out of position, you will receive additional swats. John is here as a witness and in case we need to do additional swats. Understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"One more thing, after the first set Ill let you take a relax. Hold on to the chair."
Elliot did as he was told. Cragen brought the paddle down.
WHACK
Elliot gasped. Cragen brought the paddle down 9 more times.
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
Elliot was not saying anything. Cragen went to get some coffee.
"That didnt hurt."
"Not yet."
"Okay, Elliot, drop your pants."
Elliot did as he was told. Cragen brought the paddle down hard.
WHACK
Elliot yelped and stood up. He held his butt.
"Elliot, youve earned 5 additional swats. Get back into position."
Elliot got back into position. Cragen brought the paddle down hard 9 more times.
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
Elliot was sobbing hard. Cragen went to the restroom. John rubbed Elliots back.
"Its okay, Elliot."
Cragen re-entered the room.
"Elliot, get back into position."
Elliot did as he was told. Cragen brought the paddle down hard 10 times.
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
Elliot wailed.
"John, hold him in place."
John held Elliot in place. Cragen brought the paddle down hard 5 times.
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
Elliot howled. Cragen put the paddle back in his desk drawer and left the room. John refastened Elliots pants and picked him up. He laid Elliot on his stomach on the couch. John began to rub Elliots back. Elliot kept turning his head away.
"Why do you keep turning your head?"
"I d-d-dont w-w-want y-y-you t-t-to see m-m-me c-c-cry."
"Its okay."
Elliot turned his head towards John. John continued to rub Elliots back. When Elliots howls turned to whimpers he stood up. Elliot hugged John.
"Thank you, John."
"Youre welcome, Elliot."
Elliot went to the restroom to wash his face. Cragen was waiting for him in the restroom.
"How are you feeling?"
"Im fine. Sore, but fine."
"Wash your face, and get back to work."
"Okay. Captain?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"Youre welcome."
Elliot went back to his desk. He found a cushion in his chair. There was a note:
Elliot- You will need this. I know those 35 swats have your butt hurting. Youll be fine in a few days. John Elliot place the cushion on his chair and sat down. He wrote John a note: John- Thank you! Youre right my butt is hurting. How do you know Ill be fine in a few days? Have Cragen spanked you too? Elliot
Elliot went and got a cup of coffee. He put the note on Johns desk.
