Hey people! This is my new story! Enjoy!
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
Chapter 1
Mysterious
Olivia walked into the precinct one morning to find that Elliot's desk was completely empty. All that occupied it was a computer. She went over to the drawers and opened them. Empty.
She walked swiftly over to Cragen's office, knocked fiercely twice and opened the door.
"What happened?" Olivia asked, "Where is Elliot?"
"He transferred," Cragen said, "Queens SVU."
"Why?" Olivia asked.
"He didn't say, did anything happen?" Cragen asked
"Are you suggesting I did something to make him leave?" Olivia asked with a raised voice.
"Olivia, I was just saying you guys are close. He seemed pissed."
"Something is wrong, Elliot would never do that." Olivia said.
There was a knock on the side door, and a woman stuck her head inside the door. Cragen looked up and smiled.
"Hello, Don." The woman said walking in, "I didn't interrupt, did I?"
"Of course you did, Olivia this is Allison, she's our new detective." Cragen said
"She's young," Olivia said
"I'm not a rookie if that is what you are implying." Allison said
"I'm your new partner and I wasn't implying anything." Olivia said
"You're not exactly a good liar Detective Benson." Allison stated smiling.
"Girls," Cragen said, "Please, I had a rough night."
"I'm going to go arrange my desk," Allison said, "Don't talk about me too much."
She walked out the front office door.
"What kind of detective is she?" Olivia asked
"She worked in homicide for the last two months," Cragen said
"She's not going to be able to deal with sex crimes." Olivia said, "It's harder with live victims."
"Olivia, trust me, I've known Allison for a long time. There is no other person who is more qualified."
"Two months in Homicide makes her qualified?" Olivia asked
"What she's been through makes her qualified," Cragen said, "You'll find that she's tough. I think you'll like her."
"Yeah, I better get to work." Olivia said heading for the door. As her hand touched the brass door knob she heard Cragen call her name. She turned silently.
"What?" Olivia asked
"She is a friend of the family," Cragen said, "Respect her."
"I can't promise anything." Olivia said.
Olivia was up in the crib going through her locker. She shut it and glanced over to the bulletin board of pictures. There were various pictures of the squad on many different occasions. Olivia's eyes rested on a picture of her and Elliot in a bar. They were smiling.
"You love him," Allison said behind her.
Olivia swirled around, "What?!"
"As a friend," Allison said holding her hands up.
Olivia looked away and then back at her, "Who are you anyways?"
Allison looked away, then under her breath she said, "You should know."
"Excuse me?" Olivia asked, "What do you mean I should know?"
"I didn't mean to say that." Allison said, "I meant that you would know by now if you were nice enough to ask kindly. I know your partner left without saying anything, but that isn't my fault. Yes, I am a little too confident for my age I know that. If we could just start over. Cragen loves you like a daughter, and I want to know why."
Olivia thought for a moment, "He said that?"
"I read people." Allison said with a smile.
It was a pretty uneventful day, and Allison asked Cragen if she could go home at seven. Olivia and Munch were the only ones left in the squad room. As soon as Allison left the room Munch asked, "What do you think of her?"
"I don't know what to think." Olivia said.
"What do you mean by that?" Munch asked
"Cragen knows things about her but won't tell me. I asked her who she was, she said I should know. Something is up, and I want to know what. I am going to go get on Elliot's case then I will deal with new girl later."
Olivia pounded on Elliot's door; she waited two seconds and then pounded again. She kept pounding but it wasn't going anywhere. She pulled out her spare key and opened the door.
She walked into the apartment and nothing looked out of place so far. She entered his bedroom to find clothing spread all over the bed. She opened his dresser drawers, they were empty. There wasn't nearly enough clothes on the bed for that to be normal. She opened the closet, no clothes.
She pulled out her phone, and dialed his number. It rang, and rang, then went to voicemail. She hung up, and then she dialed Cragen's number.
"Captain Cragen," he answered.
"It's Benson, Elliot isn't home and it looks like he packed, he was skipping town." Olivia stated
"I'll send back up."
Olivia knocked on a white door, it opened to reveal Kathy. Her face hardened with question.
"What are you doing here?" Kathy asked
"Have you seen Elliot?" Olivia asked
"No, why?"
"Have any of your kids seen him?" Olivia asked wishing that Kathy didn't want a reason why.
"No why damn it?" Kathy asked getting angry.
"He went missing today, or last night I can't really tell." Olivia said.
Kathy got a little choked up, "What?"
"Yeah," Olivia said as her cell phone rang. "Excuse me."
She walked to the street in front of Kathy's car and answered the phone. "Benson."
"Olivia," Elliot's voice said.
"Where are you?" Olivia asked
"Olivia, get away from the house." Elliot said adamantly.
"What?" Olivia said, she looked up and yelled for Kathy to go back into the house.
"Olivia!" A woman yelled as Olivia was pushed to the ground as their were gunshots. Olivia spun around to see who had tackled her. It was Allison and she was bleeding.
"Oh god." Olivia said pulling the phone out from under the car they were behind. "Elliot, you there?"
"Yeah," Elliot answered, "Olivia I need to tell you something."
"Elliot I don't have time right now."
"I'm fine, it barely grazed me." Allison said.
"Olivia, I love you." Elliot said, "Now go!"
She heard a beep, he had hung up. Allison looked up at Olivia.
"Would you get down please!"
Olivia rolled over on the sidewalk and laid down. "Are you okay you're bleeding all over the place."
"Yeah I'm fine." Allison said applying pressure to her wound.
"Thank you...for saving my life." Olivia said.
"It's my job." Allison replied.
"Nobody said you had to risk your life." Olivia said.
"I'm still alive, don't get all sappy on me." Allison said sitting up, "He's probably gone now, you should be a good cop. Call 911."
She peaked her eyes over the car and slowly came up.
"You should stay down; he is after you not me." Allison said going around the car and looking up into the building windows.
Olivia was telling the operator to send back up and alert SVU.
Elliot walked onto the scene of the crime and walked up to the ambulance. He looked inside to see a woman being bandaged up.
"Who are you?" he asked
"Your fill-in, Names Allison Jennings." She stated.
"You look familiar." He said.
"Hmm, I've been in the paper a lot." She said
"Oh, do you know where Olivia Benson is?" he asked
"Right here," said her voice behind him.
He turned around and their eyes locked in an intense moment of questioning. She was tearing up and she hated that fact.
"Did you mean it?" Olivia asked
"Every word." He stated, then he looked over and saw Kathy, with eyes simmering from the tears. He didn't know how to address it, there was Olivia, and he wanted so bad to sweep her up into his arms and kiss her. Then there was Kathy and he wanted to tell her everything was fine, but it wasn't.
That man was still out there, and he wanted to kill Olivia. If he didn't do something he was going to succeed.
Elliot sat in Cragen's office, Allison, Olivia, Fin, Munch and of course Cragen were there waiting for Elliot's explanation. Elliot was trying to figure out a way he could tell this story and not make it evident that he loved Olivia.
He decided he could, "I was getting into my car, Thursday night and next thing I know the perp in the back seat has a gun to my head. So the guy tells me to get out and I do. Then proceeds to yell and give me instructions, I have ten minutes to go upstairs and tell them that I am going somewhere, that I need vacation. He said if I didn't do that and if I tipped you off, that he would kill Olivia. I did as I was told, then went downstairs. He took me home; he must have known where I lived. Then told me to pack, to make it look like I had left. He held me hostage in an apartment in upper Manhattan. There he told me what he was going to do to Olivia. He left me to go injure her by shooting her and …rape her. I got out by breaking the pole I was hooked to and breaking down a couple of doors. Then I walked down to the lobby somebody found wire cutters and I used the phone. I called Olivia, and told her to get away from the house. She apparently did I heard gun shots and I think Allison's voice. Liv you wanna fill in?" he asked
"Elliot called me; he said to get away from the house. I told Kathy to go back inside. Allison called my name and tackled me, and then I heard gunshots. Shooter missed me and grazed Allison." Olivia said
"Let's try not to pull any stunts like that again please." Cragen said, "You both could have been killed."
"Yes, because I asked for this to happen." Allison said sarcastically.
"Allison, you are crossing the line." Cragen stated calmly.
Allison walked farther away from the desk. "Alright, Elliot, I want you to go over the details again with Fin and Munch. Elliot and Olivia you are not to leave this building without an armed escort." Cragen continued.
"What?" Olivia asked, "Captain I am fine."
"Olivia, he has a gun, you better be glad I'm not doing more." Cragen said
"I'll take you home." Allison offered.
"No," Cragen said immediately.
Allison's expression had a warning in the glare. "He may get his frustrations out on you because you were in the way. So, you'll need an escort too."
Anger was evident on her face, she headed for the door as Cragen yelled, "Don't you leave this building!"
Olivia's face had a small smirk on it. Cragen stood up and told them to get busy.
Olivia and Allison were sitting across each other at the desks. Allison was flipping through a magazine. Olivia was pretending to do paperwork. Benson's cell phone rang, she answered it with a straight-forward, "Benson."
"Damian, hey…I've been meaning to call you…look last night was great but I don't think that's a good idea…Damian I said no….I can't see you tonight….Damian! It's over!" Olivia said with a raised voice and shut the phone.
Allison looked up when she said that. "You definitely get around."
"So what, I had a one-night stand." Olivia stated under her breath.
"I'm sure it's not your first time." Allison said putting her magazine up over her face.
Olivia reached over the desk and pulled the magazine down. "What do you mean by that."
"I'm just saying, plus you may want us to check out that Damian guy. He almost sounds abusive."
"Why don't you stick to your own business." Olivia said
"You may not know it yet, but you are my business." Allison said
"I don't know who you are but leave me the hell alone." Olivia said getting up and heading for the crib.
Fin and Munch emerged from the file room and headed for Cragen's office. Allison got up and follow standing by the slightly opened door.
"Elliot said the guy had mail from a Damian Reeves in the apartment. We are going to go see what the uniforms found."
Allison poked her head into the squad room for the second time in twenty-four hours. "Damian Reeves?" she asked
Cragen looked up, "Yeah, you know him?"
"Olivia's ex-boyfriend, as of two minutes ago, name is Damian." Allison said.
"Where is Olivia?" Elliot asked behind Allison.
"She went upstairs." Allison stated
"Probably going to catch a few." Elliot stated, "I'm going up to check on her, she's had a rough day."
"Okay," Allison said
Elliot climbed the stairs and headed for the crib. He poked his head in the room, she wasn't there. He went into the locker room. He saw her rummaging through her locker. She ran her fingers through her hair and she let out a sigh. Elliot stepped closer.
"Olivia," Elliot said.
Olivia jumped and spun around. "God damn it, Elliot."
"Hey-hey." Elliot said his hand grazing hers, "We figured out who it is."
"What? Who?" Olivia asked
"Damian," Elliot answered
"D-Damian," Olivia stuttered, "That's my…"
"Ex-boyfriend." Elliot finished, "Allison told us."
"What is with her?" Olivia asked
"What do you mean?" Elliot asked
"She has this secret and Cragen is backing her up on it." Olivia said
"How do you know?"
"Just the way that they act with each other." Olivia said
"Okay," Elliot said
"Um…Elliot?" Olivia asked
"What?" Elliot asked
"I am missing my spare keys for my apartment." Olivia stated, "He's the only one who's had access to them."
Elliot nodded and headed for Cragen's office to tell him.
"He has her apartment keys?" Cragen asked, "And she didn't think that this was relevant before?"
"She just remembered," Elliot said.
"Just remembered my ass," Cragen said picking up the phone, and motioning for Elliot to leave.
Fin and Munch walked down the hall of Olivia's apartment building. They neared her door and saw that it was opened a little.
Fin motioned for Munch to go to the other side of the door. Munch pushed the door open then walked inside, gun cocked. Fin went ahead of him and found Damian in the bedroom. He was in Olivia's panty drawer.
"Freeze Damian," Fin said.
Damian was startled and he threw a pair of Olivia's panties across the room.
"Ya, dirt bag, you have the right to remain silent…" Fin continued telling him his rights while cuffing him.
Please Review!!! And Cragen is not trying to get rid of Olivia. It will all make sense soon!!!
