Elliot and Olivia had an affair while Elliot was still married to Kathy. Unfortunately before Olivia can tell Elliot how she felt or even her big news, him and his family moved to Drexel, MO. What happens when Olivia gets kidnapped in NYC and is taken to Missouri.

Prologue:

NOTE: I mixed the prologue and the first chapter together because they were both really short and I know that I hate very short chapters, so here you go.

PS this idea was not originally mine, I read one like it a while ago but I can't remember the writer for the life of me, so if it was you, sorry I forgot.

Our story starts out with two police officers named Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson from New York City that had been working together for 7 years. Both people working in a special division called The Special Victims Unit. The squad room is located in the 16th Precinct in Manhattan. The Special Victims unit, SVU is lead by Caption Donald Cragen and it also includes one other set of partners, Fin Tutuola and John Munch.

On the personal side of the squad Elliot Stabler is married to a woman named Kathy and they have 4 children together Maureen, of whom is the eldest, Kathleen, the middle child, and the twins, Elizabeth, and Richard. Elliot and Kathy have had there ups and downs but as of right now, they were having some "down time".

Olivia Benson on the other hand was not married and had no children. Her life only belonged to her job. She rarely even had time of a relationship, let alone on a single date.

Now, one night after a very serious case involving a young girl being kidnapped, raped then murdered was a hard case for the squad. They all went out for drinks when they finally caught the bastard and he was sentenced to life without parole; Elliot and Olivia were the only ones left in the bar when one thing lead to another and Elliot and Olivia found their truth feelings for one another being told.

One cold day, mid November Olivia was sitting in her apartment alone, like always. But today she was only thinking of what life had brought her to…

'Why would he do this? Why would he leave me? We were together, happy and we loved each other. NO! He choose to leave you remember? He choose her and his kids over you. Come on liv pull yourself together. HA Liv, the name he called me,'

Quietly a single tear ran down her cheek. 'Forget it, I still have a job to do. I can't let that slip away from me too'

With that last thought Olivia went back to bed for another night of restlessness and not a wink of sleep.

--

Little did Olivia know, but out West in Drexel, Missouri, there was a certain ex-sex crimes cop thinking the same thing while he was laying in the spare bedroom of his new house.

'How could I leave her? I know that being with her was wrong but I loved and still love her so much. But it's too late now, even if I were ever to see her again, she would probably hate me. I know I would hate me too, if I were put second to a man that I knew for a fact she didn't love.

Chapter 1:

"Munch, Tutuola, Benson, my office now." Bellowed Cragen.

"What wrong, Cap?" Fin asked

"I would like to introduce you to the new member of the squad, Kyra Johnson. She'll be your new partner Liv. How about you two go out to lunch and get to know one another? After all you will protecting each other's backs now."

"I want lunch too!" shouted a pouting John.

"Too bad, you already know your partner. Now get back to work!"

"Hi I'm Kyra." Said the redhead to Olivia in a thick southern accent. "Is Tony Luke's a good place for lunch?"

Olivia couldn't believe that she was getting a new partner, and Elliot was truly gone. So she just nodded.

At the restaurant Kyra was all talk. "So tell me about your partner from before."

"Who Elliot?" Olivia said, cringing at the thought of him. "He was a good cop, his family moved to Drexel, Missouri a couple of weeks ago.

"Oh, wow … what couldn't he take the risk of the job?" asked Kyra

"No, he just had to go"

*Flashback

Olivia sat in her apartment sipping her wine and reading her favorite book, magic hour by Kristen Hannah, when there was a knock on the door. She smiled as she answered it seeing her best friend, lover, partner, well, her Elliot. "Hey where were y… what's wrong?"

"Liv, this this may be the last time I can see you… ever." By her silence he continued, "Kathy got a job offer in Drexel and we're moving…" finally he finished with one word, "tomorrow."

"Get out" she said shocked. She couldn't believe her ears, Moving!

"Liv, I need and want to be with you one last time, please." he said moving closer. He kissed her very gentle and when he pulled back she was still in shock. Until she pulled him in for another kiss. This one harder with more need. She then pulled him into the bedroom for a final goodbye.

End Flashback*

Once Olivia was out of her daydream she realized that Kyra was still taking about her childhood in Georgia and her old job in Los Angles and she had missed it, well not that Olivia cared but it was still nice to know. After they were done eating and were well on there way back to the precinct did Kyra ask Olivia about her story and her reason for being in the SVU squad.

"Well, I had a hard life and wanted to make a difference in other people's lives," she really did not want to tell her new partner about her mother, well not yet at least. .

When they got back to the squad room, Olivia could not focus on her job. She was feeling a little funny but dismissed the feeling quickly. She hadn't been sleeping well lately and with Elliot leaving her that wasn't helping either. She kept playing her and Elliot's goodbye over and over again in her head for the rest of the evening and even dreamed about it. When she woke the next morning she realized that her final encounter with Elliot was haunting her.
