New York Precinct 16

10:15am

"Benson, Stabler, there is a shooting at a warehouse. Our perp Troy Bankins is involved!"

"Ok. Cap!" Elliot answered wile getting his and Olivia's coat.

"Be careful, he's armed and dangerous." Cragen said with concern in his voice.

He hates shootings, especially when two of his best detectives are involved.

"Yeah, as always captain!" Elliot smirked. "The Twins birthday is coming up and I wanna see their faces when they open their presents, so don't worry!" "Anyway" Elliot continued "Today is not the best day to get shot!"

"Okay I got it Elliot! Just be careful, and you too Olivia!" Olivia smiled at him "As always Cap!"

New Jersey, Warehouse

10:55 am

Elliot and Olivia got out of their car. As they walked down to the other police officers Olivia pointed at the paramedics "What are they doing here?"

"I dunno..Liv, probably just making sure no one gets killed or something.."

Suddenly Elliot noticed Captain Ryan who stood among the police officers. Captain Ryan?! Elliot asked walking down to a man with greyish hair. He is the captain of a police unit in New Jersey.

"This is Detective Benson and I'm Detective Stabler." Both showed him their badges. "Special Victims Unit" Elliot went on "Captain Cragen sent us to arrest Bankins."

"I was waiting for you guys" Ryan said. "But the situation has changed we have a hostage situation now."

"What?!" the two detectives asked in unison "We thought we would just come down here to arrest Bankins?!" Olivia said running her fingers thru her long hair. "What do you know about the hostage and hold on" Olivia said looking at Ryan "Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"

"We didn't know, Bankins called us just a few minutes ago. But your Captain has been informed and is already on his way as well as Det. Munch and Det. Tutuola. They should be here in a few." Captain Ryan explained "About the hostage…her name is Keira Perry and –"

"What?!" Olivia shrieked and looked at Elliot in astonishment. "Elliot..how come..I thought she would be save now. I thought she is in the hospital!"

Flashback

1 week ago

"Elliot, I found her! She is in the basement!" Olivia went down the stairs and opened the door. The little girl didn't look up, she was scared to death. Only a blanked was wrapped around her shoulder to protect the little girl's fragile skin.

"Keira honey..it's okay, you are save now…" Olivia said in a soothing voice "I'm Olivia and this is Elliot" she said pointing at the detective who stood next to Olivia. "We are here to help you..don't be scared honey, it's okay." Olivia reached out for the girls shoulder. The little girl winced under Olivia's touch. Immediately Olivia pulled her hand back.." Shhh.. it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you honey.."

Tears sting Olivia's eyes. She has seen many victims after 8 years working in SVU, even little girls who have been raped but she just couldn't stand the thought of such a little girl being raped and hurt.

"Honey it's okay and I know that you are scared. But you need to come with us." Elliot said in a low voice. "Your mommy is waiting for you. She told us how much you love to sing." Suddenly Keira's head shot up. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying. Elliot could see the bruises on her cheek and her burst lip which seemed to be older than the bruises. In the corner of the little girls mouth was dried blood.

"C'mon Keira honey, no one's gonna hurt you." Olivia tried to encourage the little girl. She looked at Olivia and then at Elliot, afraid to say something..

Noticing the anxious look on the little girls face Elliot stepped back and was about to leave when Keira screamed and started sobbing "No, noo! Please don't go away pl..please.."

Shocked by the girl's reaction Elliot came closer and took Keira's hand. She latched onto Elliots hand. Elliot carefully wrapped the blanked around the girl to protect her from the cold and lifted her up. Olivia stroked Keira's cheek and whispered soothing words in her ear.

"Hey Liv..you still with us?" Elliot asked giving her a concerned look.

"I – I'm fine El, it's just…Keira's been thru so much and now this!"

"I know Liv, but we have to focus now.." Elliot said rubbing Olivia's shoulders.

"Okay, so you two know the girl?" "Yes we do, and you need to know that she won't trust anybody." Olivia said getting frustrated with the whole situation.

At that moment Cragen, Fin and Munch arrived. "Ryan, what are you planning to do?" Cragen asked, coming straight to the point. "We are going in, we can't waste another minute, we tried to call him but he won't pick up the damn phone." Ryan said with an angry voice. "I'm sorry, but we don't have a choice" he said looking at Olivia and Elliot.

"I'm coming with you!" Olivia said with determination. "Olivia, I don't think that's such a good idea." Cragen stated. "Captain, I'll watch Olivia's back, and I think it's a good idea! Keira knows us and trusts us both." Elliot said trying to support Olivia's decision. Caught off guard Olivia stared Elliot straight into his blue eyes.

"Okay" but make sure both of you wear a bullet-proof vest. "Cragen said.

"Yessir" Elliot said while putting on the vest. Olivia checked her radio. "Liv, are you ready?" Elliot asked while helping Olivia with her radio"I think so..but Elliot you don't have to come with me, I don't need you to protect me or something.."

Suddenly Elliot began stroking her cheek "You know that I'd never let you down.."

Olivia blushed at Elliot's touch.."um..I-I know El.."

"Ok guys! Are you ready?" Munch called. "Now or never..." Olivia said taking a deep breath. "Let's go." Elliot said walking ahead of Olivia.

With guns drawn the two detectives and 5 other police officers enter the warehouse unsure of what is going to happen next.
