Olivia Benson rolled onto her side, yawning as she stretched. She expected the other side of her bed to be unoccupied but it wasn't. She gasped in surprise, shooting up instantly. She stared at the man who had apparently made his way into her bed in the middle of the night. She couldn't understand how it could have happened, she wasn't drunk the night before and she had spent the whole night talking to Elliot over the phone about a case. She had gone to bed alone and had slept soundly through the night. If anyone had entered her apartment, she would have heard them.
The stranger rolled over, yawning and stretching as well. It was then that Olivia got a good look at the man's face. At that point she jumped from the bed and grabbed her gun "Don't move," she commanded.
"Wait a minute!" the intruder shouted "Olivia, I can explain!"
"I'm sure you can," Olivia said sarcastically, her gun unwavering. "Put your hands on top of your head," she ordered.
"Olivia, please just hear me out. I need your help."
"Oh you need help all right Niki," she hissed "But you won't be getting it from me." She reached for her cell phone and started to dial Elliot's number.
"Put the phone down," Nick Ganzner told her firmly as he pulled his own gun on her.
"Please," Olivia almost laughed "Don't point that thing at me Niki. You're lucky I haven't killed you already."
"It's not luck Olivia," Nick stated "Deep down, you still love me."
"Don't flatter yourself," Olivia cocked the hammer of her gun "Bye-bye Niki," she fired but Ganzner rolled off the bed and ducked down just in time to avoid the bullet.
He sprung back up and fired his weapon. The breeze from the bullet tickled Olivia's ear "Next one's going in your heart if you don't put that gun down," he told her.
Instead of putting her weapon down, Olivia fired again but again Ganzner ducked it. He sprung up again fast as lightening but instead of firing off another round, he lunged across the bed towards Olivia, knocking her to the ground, the gun flying out of her hand from the sheer force of the impact. Ganzner leered down at her as he pressed the barrel of the gun into Olivia's forehead "Now, are you going to listen to what I have to say Olivia?"
"Do I have a choice?" Olivia groaned.
"Well," Ganzner grinned "I could always kill you."
"Hmm…" Olivia pretended to think about it "Listen to you or be shot in the head…? That's a toughie."
"Don't play cute with me," Ganzner hissed. He clasped his free hand around her throat "Now shut that pretty mouth of yours and pay attention."
Olivia nodded. Ganzner seemed serious to her. There wasn't any doubt in her mind that he would pull the trigger if she pushed him far enough. So she decided to play along for now. She simply nodded,
"I need to get out of the country," he informed her "And you are going to help me."
"How am I supposed to do that?" she asked.
"Your partner has a cousin who owns a plane right?"
"How did you know that?" Olivia gasped, her eyes widening in astonishment. She hadn't even found that fact until just a few weeks ago. It had been over seven years since she had last seen Nick.
"I have my ways my dear," Nick answered.
"So my partner's cousin owns a plane," Olivia reiterated "How does that help you?"
"Your partner will be more than willing to fly the plane for me," Nick smirked "As soon as he learns that I have you."
A/N: Well, that was chapter one people. I hope you liked it. Why does Ganzner need to get out of the country so badly? Will Olivia be able to think of a way out of this mess before Ganzner ropes Elliot into this web of deceit that he seems to be weaving? Will I ever give obsessedwithstabler her left shoe back? The answers to these questions and more will be revealed.
