A/N: Things will go terribly wrong today…..

She had to warn him. What if they were already there? What if Elliot already was in mortal danger but just didn't know it yet? The worst scenarios possible went through her head.

But what if she'd only bring him in extra danger by coming by? What if they were watching him and waiting for her to fall for the bait. She can't risk it.

She forces herself to sit down and think. Really think. They got themselves in such a big mess, how the hell were they going to get out of this one without injuries or possible deaths?

If he grabbed the picture of Elliot without gloves, she could bring it to the lab and let it get tested for fingerprints. But they were dealing with some professional criminals; they wouldn't touch anything without gloves and be stupid enough to send it to the police.

She had to come up with a better plan. A solid plan. A plan that would save the both of them.

Elliot was laying on the couch, thinking about everything that occurred the last couple days. Almost losing Olivia, kissing her, the threats they received from Derek and his associate. His life was a mess, but strangely enough, he wasn't unhappy with the way things were right now. Ofcourse, he'd like to arrest the sons of bitches who are sending him and Olivia threats, but since he and Olivia had acknowledged their true feelings for each other, he experienced a rare kind of happiness. The kind of happiness he couldn't bare to lose.

The sound of his phone echoed through the room when he received a text. Olivia.

"Meet me at my apartment. I may have a break in the case. Liv".

A break in the case? Did she found something he missed? He went over the leads they had for over twenty times and he couldn't find anything useful. Hell, their whole squad went over it, technical investigators and their captain included.

But he knew if there was anyone who could surprise them, it was Liv. He didn't hesitate; he left to her apartment immediately…..

'He's not going to fall for this' she said softly.

'Doesn't sound like you're too sure of that' he said amusing while waving his gun at her once more.

Her palms were sweaty and her heart was beating out of her chest. She tried to make herself believe he wasn't going to fall for this, but she knows. She knows he would never ignore her if she asks him to come over. She could shoot herself for giving Derek's associate her phone. She learned his name was Drake.

She should never have given him her phone. If Elliot shows up, it's on her.

''What is it exactly that you want?' Olivia asked Drake as he was impatiently looking through the peep hole on her door. He shot her an agitated look while pacing back and forth before the door, gripping the gun tightly as if he had to contain himself from shooting her right then and there.

'It will take him at least 20 minutes to get here'' she said when she saw him walking to the door again.

He turned around again, now facing Olivia; "He better hurry up".

She wanted to ask why he was in such a hurry, but she thought better .

Her heart was still beating out of control. She was standing in her own living room. The place she should be able to feel safe. Now, a random guy was pointing a gun at her. She knew her own gun was just a couple meters away. If she only could find a way to get in her bedroom…..

"Ah, look who arrived" Drake said devilishly while looking through the peep hole.

She wanted to do something; what if she screamed? Would he get the memo and leave? No ofcourse not. It's Elliot she's talking about. He would most definitely come in if he heard her scream. There was nothing she could do.

Two knocks on the door.

Her heart stopped, this was it.

"You, open up" he whispered while pointing the gun at Olivia and pushing her towards the door. Her hands were shaking and her throat got dry as hell. Slowly, she opened up.

"Hi" Elliot said when she opened up. She just looked at him. Trying to give him a sign that he should leave. It didn't took Elliot long to figure out that something was wrong. He just didn't know exactly what.

"Are you going to let me in?" he teased when Olivia hadn't moved an inch to let him enter her apartment.

"Liv?" he asked, now genuinely concerned. She shook her head, but it was too late.

"Join the party detective" Drake said while walking up behind Olivia, pointing the gun at her head.

Olivia's eyes shot up to Elliot's and he knew what she was trying to do. She was asking him not to come in. But he couldn't do that. He just couldn't do it.

He pushed his way into her apartment, shoving Liv to the side a little. With tears stinging behind her eyes, she shut the door…

"We've been waiting for you" Drake said smiling while he ordered both Olivia and Elliot to sit down on the couch. Both were unarmed and both were completely helpless.

"Just tell us what you want now" Olivia said nervously; purposely avoiding Elliot's gaze.

"I think you know what I want" he replied; angered now.

"Derek screwed up. We had no choice but to arrest him. We can't change that" Elliot said honestly.

"I know, I know…He screwed up, but his screw up is going to cost me my freedom too. And you guys" he said while waving his gun in front of their faces, "You guys are dragging me down, but I will make damn sure I'll drag both of your asses with me".

It was then, that Olivia realized they were practically dead already, because there was nothing he wanted from them. This was pure revenge. There was no way in hell they were going to walk out of here alive.

"Killing two cops will get you live without parole for sure, probably even the needle. You're looking at 20 years now. Don't make it any worse for yourself" Elliot said hopelessly; knowing that if this fails, they were dead.

Olivia shot him a quick look, grateful for him creating the biggest doubt in Drake's mind. That one doubt that may save them both.

"I'll be 50 when I get out, that's not good enough" Drake said angrily, pacing back and forth in the living room. He was agitated; on edge. The way he was pacing, proved he was nervous about something. He was having doubts and he was not sure about what he was doing. They could use that.

"You, get up!" he yelled at Olivia while pointing the gun at her head.

Elliot and Olivia gave each other a quick look; she could see the despair in Elliot's eyes.

She slowly rose to her feet and felt her body shaking in fear and anger.

"You raped that girl. You took away your own freedom the minute you did that. You can't blame us for that" she said while standing in front of him, looking right in the barrel of his gun.

"Shut up!" he yelled defensively, gripping the gun in his hand even tighter.

Elliot didn't know what Olivia was doing, but she wasn't helping the situation, that was clear.

"Show me everything you got on the case" he said firmly, not once lowering his gun.

Shit, she forgot! She took all the evidence on the case home with her last night, so she could go over it all again.

"I don't have the evidence here" she lied, hoping he'd fall for it.

"Don't lie to me. I know it's here".

Then it hit her: He had been stalking her and Elliot, so he probably saw her with the evidence last night. There was no other explanation.

"You watched me last night" she stated, her voice nothing but a soft whisper.

A small smirk appeared on his face while he said; "Right across the street. I saw you walking up your apartment, holding a couple files. I knew it was related to this case. I know you've been on this case from the beginning" he replied, "Now show me where it is" he added.

"I can't do that" she said hesitantly; knowing full well she was pissing him off right now.

He shot her an angry look, before turning around pointing the gun at Elliot who just stood up.

"You want to play it like that, detective? Fine". A loud bang followed…..

A/N: Sorry for leaving it here, I wanted some suspense. REVIEW and tell me what you think.
