Who Keller and Stabler (And perhaps girl!Toby later on at home)
What Drinking and talking
Where Random Cali bar then perhaps back to Keller's? Hm?
When Monday night
Warning Keller is a messed up fellow.

He smirked to himself as he pulled on his coat and shoved on his boats-you didn't go to meet the guy who looked exactly like you every day, right? And this Elliot guy seemed alright, for a cop. There was a sick thrill in Chris, going for drinks with a cop, of course. Psychopathic killer and hack, sitting down for a beer? Yeah, it made Chris laugh.

Heading out into the night air, it wasn't long before Chris was at the bar, early, moving to sit in a booth near the back. Habit called that he couldn't be seen but everyone else could, so he sat in a booth so that he could watch the door and wait for the Elliott guy to show up. He wondered if the guy had the same tattoos, even. This was going to be fun. He ordered himself some fries and a beer to wait for the guy-Hey, he wasn't going to go hungry waiting for his doppleganger.

He'd perhaps gleaned that Keller wasn't the best person to hang out around but hey, the guy had offered drinks and he wanted to see his doppleganger in the flesh. After taking a portkey-which honestly made him need a drink even more-he managed to find the bar. Stepping inside, dressed in a long dark blue trench coat, jeans and a polo tee. He glanced around, looking for a man who looked just like him.

Spotting Keller in the back of the room, Stabler headed straight back to the booth, sitting down across from the other man.

	Keller saw the man well before he saw him, raising an eyebrow at the sight of a trench coat. What was that about? Well, he knew not to wear them, he guessed as he smirked at the man as he sat down, offering a hand. "Chris Keller." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Elliot Stabler." He reached forward and took Keller's hand, shaking it firmly before letting go. Settling back into the booth, he glanced up as a waiter popped by. Ordering nachos and a whiskey sour, he turned back towards Keller, marveling over the fact the other man looked exactly like him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Elliot," He repeated the name, nodding once as he sat back, taking the man in, making no effort not to stare. "Where you from, Elliot?" He finally asked, taking a sip of his beer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The stare didn't bother him. Stabler had long since stopped being bothered by the looks he got. He'd been in interrogation with enough monsters in his time that Keller's hard stare bothered him not. "New York City, born and raised." He replied with a shrug. "You?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"D.C.," Chris replied, "Though I've been around," He had a fry and tilted his head a bit, "So, your a cop? Always been one or did you do military first?" Chris smirked a bit, enjoying how, being around a lot of hack's growing up, knowing them, fucking with them and fucking them period, he got to know habits, backgrounds and so on.

"I was in the Marines. Fought in the Gulf War." He shrugged. "My father was a police officer though, so when I got out of service, I decided to be a cop as well. Became a detective in almost no time." Glancing up as his nachos and drink was brought, he thanked the water and grabbed one of the chips, getting the meat and other toppings on it before popping it into his mouth.

Chewing and swallowing, he sighed. "Plus, detective is a more supportive job for a family than the Marines ever was."

	"You got a family?" Chris was certainly chatty lately, talking up Alex and now Eliot. It was just a way to pass time, make connections, work things out for Chris so maybe he could one day use them. Just like Sister Pete. "Kids?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 05:55 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Five of them." He smiled rather proudly as he took a sip of his drink. Pulling out his wallet, he flipped it open and offered up the pictures of his kids to Keller. Hey, he was a proud daddy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Holy shit, five?" Chris took the wallet, flipping through-There was always something about kids he could see himself enjoying, made him think about being a dad. His own father had been shit, and Chris figured he'd probably be the same, what with his track record with women who depended on him, but he was changing other things in his life right now, why not that aspect? Maybe he was just thinking this because Holly might be around, and he knew if he couldn't pull of being Mr.Nice Guy with her if she showed up, Toby wouldn't be too hard pressed to pick Holly over him. Or maybe it was because 'if his doppleganger could be a dad, why couldn't he?' thoughts. Any way it worked out, Chris handed back the wallet with a grin.

"Beautiful. You must be proud. Wife?"

Taking his wallet back, he put it in his pockets and took another sip of his drink. "Very proud and...sort of. I guess not technically anymore here but back home. She and I have been sort of off and on. Kathy, she didn't like the fact I wouldn't open up about my job. I'm stuck at work catching rapists and murders...and she wants me to come home and talk about it? No. We've been in a lot of fights...separations." He sighed. "We were just getting on good terms again when this happened. Mostly because of little Elliot being born."

"Your son," Chris nodded a bit, popping another chip into his mouth, "You go to therapy or anything for that shit? What you saw, what you dealt with?" Chris tilted his head and sat back in his seat, raising his eyebrows. He had done the therapy circuit a few times thanks to his convictions. Not to mention his times with Sister Pete, "Cathartic and all that, I hear." Bull shit. But Chris could pretend with the best of them, and did he ever sound sincere when he said that.

	"No." Stabler scoffed. "I mean, a couple times I've gone but only when forced. Nothing serious. I don't put much credit in shrinks. All they do is take what you've said and mix it around it make it sound like you have something wrong with you." Finish off his whiskey sour, he felt warm and ready for something harder. Thus, he ordered a glass of straight whiskey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	willkillfortoby 2008-03-04 06:44 am UTC (link)
	"Always the possibility that you actually got something wrong with you," Chris shrugged as he ordered another beer-He was okay with being the more sober of the two, no doubt. "So tell me something-You and Alex. You ever..." A hand wave, as if he wasn't going to get into the lewd language. Laughable, but oh well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 06:53 am UTC (link)
	"Alex and I? Goodness, no." He laughed a little and sipped at his whiskey. "No, no. Just co-workers and friends really. I've been faithful to my wife, even when we were apart." Shaking his head, he scratched his chin. "Not that I've not thought about it but...never ended up acting on any impulses." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	willkillfortoby 2008-03-04 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"Shit, really? Damn, Stabler," Chris chuckled and shook his head, taking a long drag of the beer that arrived just then, "She's something else. And what about that partner of yours? You telling me you never had some of that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, Olivia was a whole different story. They'd been close, so many times. Of course there was that tension between them, after all they'd been through yet they'd never broken down and hopped into bed with each other. "Not her either." Though he did love her and didn't know how long he could keep that under wraps. "As I said, I'm faithful to my wife even in our scuffles."

	"Good on you, brother, no doubt," Chris held up his hands, "Can't say I'd do the same in your place, but whatever works. So, what's the wife's name again? What she do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 07:14 am UTC (link)
	"Kathy. She was a stay at home mom. With 5 kids...well, it's sort of what needed to be done lest we go broke putting them in day care." He sighed and sipped more at his whiskey, enjoying the taste. After what he had been through? He needed a good stiff drink and a gentle buzz. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	willkillfortoby 2008-03-04 07:16 am UTC (link)
	"What did she look like?" Yes, Chris was sort of aiming to piss of the guy across from him, get a feel for him, so he was asking personal questions, pressing topics, whatever. He was having fun with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 07:23 am UTC (link)
	Stabler rolled his eyes at the strange question. "She's beautiful, and that's all you need to know." He answered firmly, managing to finish off his whiskey. Oh yes, the buzz was nice. Ordering another, he munched on his nachos. "What about you? Ever been married?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	willkillfortoby 2008-03-04 07:25 am UTC (link)
	"Psh, everyone thinks their wife is beautiful, even the guys married to dogs," Chris pointed out, having another fry and shrugging a shoulder, "Yep. Four times." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 07:32 am UTC (link)
	"Four times? None of them stuck, I take it?" Stabler couldn't imagine being married four different times. He liked having one, solid marriage or more...had. Here, in this strange place, he had a completely clean slate which was odd to say the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	willkillfortoby 2008-03-04 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"Married one of them twice," Chris pointed out, not that it mattered, having more of his beer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	strongnotsilent 2008-03-04 07:41 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, well. That's better." Elliot grinned a little and took yet another drink of his whiskey. It was a public place, so he figured if Keller tried anything, someone would stop it. Or so, he hoped anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
