1day later, Elliot's house

the kids went to stay with their mother, Elliot thought it would be safer there. Only Elliot and Olivia remained. "E-El…? Do you want me to stay for a while you know, help clean up…" Olivia asked not looking him in the eyes, the pain was too much.

Elliot about to pass out from exertion finally spoke, "Su-re if you want."

She nodded, "El. She will be okay. You need to sleep, I'll clean up, I'll see if he left anything, but right now, you need to sleep."

Next day at work

"Liv, El, my office, we need to talk." Captain said

Elliot had been completely unaware, probably why he did not protest; him and Olivia being thrown off the case, Olivia was just too tired to fight back, she was up all night searching for things to help find Lizzie. The two left, Elliot went to his house, Olivia hers; neither got much sleep. Olivia woke for the third time in an hour and a half, to a knock on the door. She assumed it was Elliot and got up to go let him in.

No one.

She was confused now, she looked up and down the hallway and on the floor in front of her was an envelope. Once inside she opened it, and soon fell to the floor crying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Daddy? Why didn't you save me? Why weren't you here to help me!"

"Lizzie! I'm so sorry! None of this should have happened!"

"You were there for Kathleen when she got in trouble. Why not me? Don't you love me daddy?"

"Yes sweetie! I do love you! I'm sorry I wasn't there for you!"

Lizzie kept getting farther and farther no matter how hard he tried he couldn't reach her!

"No!" Elliot screamed as he shot up from a cold sweat. "Lizzie!

He quickly hopped of bed and ran to the bathroom to change. He grabbed his badge, gun, phone, and keys and was soon out the door.

Olivia's House

"Lizzie!" she cried.

The tears falling from her face were instantly stopped by a knock on the door. She wasn't sure if she wanted to open it, I mean after what she found last time, no telling in what could be there this time. So she sat and another knock came with, "Liv! It's me open up!"

She somehow managed to get up and put the envelope away and walk to the door, while practically convulsing. As she opened the door and saw Elliot she began to feel sick.

"Hey! Liv! Sit down… are you okay?"

"Huh, yea- I'm fine." She lied. She was everything but fine.

Elliot let it rest. "Let me get you a blanket then, okay?"

She nodded.

"Couldn't sleep?" Olivia asked Elliot.

"N-no. You?"

"A little. Not really."

"What do you need?" she asked still shaking.

"I just wanted to check in- ask if you wanted to come with me to the precinct. The bastard had to have made a mistake. And if we got tired we could go to the crib. Seeing you like this, I'm not so sure anymore." El said honestly

"I'm coming El." She said, so set in what she was doing; just like always, there was no way in Hell Elliot was going to change her mind.

Car Ride/ Precinct 16

The whole car ride, every time Olivia looked at her partner, her mind flashed back to the envelope, and Lizzie.

"You alright Liv?

"I'm fine, still, nothing has happened since the last time you asked me that." She snapped back, "I-I'm sorry El, I-just haven't gotten much sleep."

He gave her a crooked smile and turned back to his paper work.

Nothing. Nothing! The bastard left nothing! Not a print, not a hair! Elliot thought to himself.

Elliot looked up from the file only to see Olivia sleep in her chair her head buried in the file. Seeing her so calm and peaceful made him smile. He walked up to her kissed her temple and whispered, "Good night Liv." Elliot however stayed up another few hours until it was 6:45, his body couldn't take it, he just slept, calm and quiet.
