"Elliot you can't go in alone!" Benson screamed at her longtime partner. They just arrived at the house that their newfound suspect was hiding in. "Backup is on their way!"
"Olivia we can't wait for them, the girl could be in danger and if we wait she could end up dead" Stabler said as he draws his gun.
"Please just wait; I don't want anyone to get hurt." Benson says as she puts her hand on Elliot's shoulder. He sighs deeply as he puts his gun back into its holster.
"Fine, just tell them to hurry their asses up." He says as he walks past her. She turns to follow him when suddenly a woman's scream fills the air. "We can't wait for backup." Stabler says as he runs towards the door with his gun drawn. She follows him as he kicks the door and they enter the house. They search the house trying to find where the scream came from. When all the rooms were clear Benson reached down to radio to the squads about what they found when she suddenly tripped on something. She quickly got up and started to investigate what she tripped on. Once she found what it was she called her partner into the room.
"Elliot come here I think I found something." She says as her partner joins her. Under the rug there was a string pulled open a trap door. They slowly descend down the stairs as we search for the woman. Suddenly the string for the light was in front of them. As they turned the light on they both stop in their tracks.
What was in front of them was something neither of them could have expected.
