Elliot Stabler was impatiently sitting at his desk looking though many files of the current case. A man had abducted three boys during the past week, and it was not looking too good. Blood had been found on a bench at Central Park,which matched one of the boys DNA. Elliot sighed as he went through the files, he was looking at recent pedophiles who had been let out of prison recently. Fin and Munch had just gone up to the crib not too long ago. Cragen had gone home for a bit , to get some sleep, he had been up for three days straight.

Elliot looked up, and found his eyes staring at his partner. ''You got anything El?" his partner asked,rubbing her eyes. She had been up with Elliot for the past 24 hours. Sleep was hard to find when three innocent boys were missing.

"Eh not much. I found a few guys who looked suspicious, but I've talked to their patrol officers, and they've been accounted for." Elliot stated. Elliot frowned when he saw his partners eyes start to droop. She looked as though she could do with a weeks long sleep.

"Liv, why don't you go up to the crib and grab a couple hours of sleep? I can handle this, we only have a few files to go through." Elliot asked gently.

"I couldn't fall asleep even if I wanted to. I just can't stop thinking of those boys, Elliot. We have to find them!" Olivia said nervously. Elliot frowned yet again.

"I know Liv, the whole squad has been working on this case 24/7. This guy is good.'' Elliot said.

"I know. It just scares me." Olivia confessed, leaving Elliot a bit confused.

"Why?" Elliot asked.

"It's just weird. This man abducted three boys, in a week. I mean we're usually faced with one missing boy at a time, and we find them 99% of the time. But now, this man, kidnapped three boys, and we have no idea where he is, or where the boys are." Olivia said frowning. Elliot wanted to agree with Olivia, but he didn't want her to lose faith in the missing boys.

"Well, we didn't find any bodies right?" Elliot asked. Olivia shook her head. "I bet they're still alive, they're somewhere out there right now. Maybe he didn't even touch them. We've looked through every pedophile who has been released in the past six months. This man could be fooling us."

"Yeah, but the problem is, what happens if this man has been out for a long time, and he just decided to rape again." Olivia said. "In one case a man was out of jail for twenty years before he raped again."

"Well." Elliot said scratching his head. "Lets look back on the past 5 years. It will take about three hours if we spilt up the paperwork." Olivia nodded and proceeded to get the paperwork from the file cabinet.

After hours of work, the detectives came up with 20 people who matched the descriptions. Both Elliot and Olivia were exhausted but pleased with the amount of work they were able to accomplish. It was nearly sunrise, and a new day was starting, making it day 8 of the abductions.

"Should I wake up Munch and Fin?" Olivia asked Elliot. She was currently organizing the files they found into a single folder. Elliot slowly nodded his head. His eyes were sore and his hands were numb.

"You okay El?" Olivia asked looking concerned.

"Yeah." Elliot answered quickly. He could tell Olivia did not look pleased with his answer.

"Look I know something is bothering you. You haven't been yourself lately." Olivia said, taking a seat on his desk. Elliot sat in silence for a minutes before answering.

"Well, it's been a year today since Kathy left me. I can't help but think it's my fault. I was too busy with work and chose it over my family." Elliot said. " I could have been anything else, a teacher, a dentist, hell even a burger flipper! At least I'd get to see my kids."

"El, if you never took this job hundreds of children could have died, families may have never found the body of a loved one. You changer many people's lives, whether you want to realize that or not." Olivia said looking him in the eyes.

Elliot slowly nodded.

"Plus, you would have never met me!" Olivia said brightly, changing the damp mood. At this she walked upstairs to the crib, leaving Elliot to his thoughts. Despite the situation, he couldn't help but smile.

Well this is the first chapter! It's kind of an introduction, the rest of the chapters will be longer. There will be more Olivia/Elliot stuff later. Please leave a review, I love feedback.:)
