Olivia found herself wearing a long expensive summer dress with spagetti straps, that requried her to use a pushup bra to bring out her assets. Along with the shoes, she looked just like them and not the woman she really was. Besides the whole outfit wasn't to her tastes. Nonetheless, Olivia was surprised that they didn't decide to do anything about her makeup.

Yet, she was glad that no one even mentioned that; knowing that the end result would have been bad. However, one thing they did do was poof up her hair, which Olivia did not like. Especially given the fact, that all of the women in that group looked alike.

Afterwards, as all of them sat in the living room drinking wine, Olivia saw just how miserable their lives were. Inlcuding the fact that they hated the fact that their husbands were deeply involved in some kind of a council.

Olivia knew that Elliot had to be with them, it made perfect sense," Where does the council meet?"

Ashley looked annoying," I don't know, when I asked my husband he yelled at me. All I know is that it ruins all the marriages of the men who they suck into their council. Don't be surprised if Mike comes back and no longer wants to sleep with you."

Jen also agreed," Your friend Katie is lucky that the council didn't choose her husband. At least he won't turn into those psychotic idiots. They brainwash them or something, they all wear dark suits. Some weird dress code."

Olivia feared that Elliot had already become one of them. In fact, she needed to find out where he was and get him out, knowing that he was in too deep. Plus it would run the risk of getting their covers blown, which would put them in greater danger, " Brainwashing for what? I don't understand?"

Lisa sighed," Beats me, but they become bastards. Forget about the feeling of being newlyweds, once Mike returns the romance will be over. You'll be spending your nights alone, but on weekends he won't even spend a single minute with you."

Jen saw that this was bothering Olivia," The ones whose husbands aren't brought into the council end up having families. We never get that chance, you probably wanted kids."

" Yeah," Olivia replied as she took another sip of wine," Mike doesn't have a say about this, he'll have to deal with a few nights of passion until I concieve."

" Good luck on that, these men lose their sex drive after they join the council. As handsome and attractive as Mike is, he's now one of them."

Olivia knew that there was no way that Elliot would become uninterested in sex. Especially given that, they were now together in real life. Plus after that one night, it left them both wanting more. What if the brainwashing did change him?

She had to figure out a way to prevent any of their covers from being blown, as well as trying to capture the rapist and murderer. It wasn't going to be easy, given the fact that she had to trend lightly. Once the ladies left, Olivia headed home before calling Fin and Amanda.

They needed to be briefed, yet it was lucky that the council never chose Fin. As they sat around the kitchen table inside Olivia's undercover house, Fin knew this wasn't good," For all we know, Elliot being involved with the council is a good thing. Being that he might find evidence that will lead us to the rapist."

Amanda sighed," What if they don't, look what we're dealing with. These people are doing everything to make sure no one finds out about this. It's not a coicindence that the council abducted Elliot, and Liv dressing like those snotty housewives."

" Tell me about," Olivia said," I did find out that when all the selected men come back, all the romance dies. They start acting like bastards, doesn't make any sense. Why brainwash them? Something weird is going on and it doesn't make any sense."

Fin nodded," You're right, I'm going to check it out but from a distance. In the meantime, when Elliot finally gets home, question him. Whatever he knows we also need to."

Olivia knew it wasn't going to be easy, but around 11:15pm, she heard the sound of the door opening down the hall. As she got up and headed into one of the bedrooms, Olivia peered in," Elliot you alright?"

He had a cold look on his face, " Yeah, go back to bed."

" Your not sleeping with me?"

Elliot turned," What I did I just say, now get the fuck away!"," his voice was mean, but as Olivia crossed her arms it only made his anger worse," Go to bed Olivia!"

" Cut the act El, you can act like a cold bastard there , not here," as he pushed her up against the wall. His eyes peering directly into hers, but saw that she wasn't afraid of him," Don't you ever call me that." The coldness of his eyes, made chills race down Olivia's spine. She knew this wasn't like Elliot at all, as he grabbed a hold of her wrist.

Olivia knew how strong he was," Stop it, and act like a cop. Or did you forget that you're one?"

He then lead her over to the doorway," NEVER QUESTION ME AGAIN WHERE I GO," as he slammed the door behind. Olivia was left to wonder what had happened to him to cause him to act like this, neverthless she wasn't one bit scared of him.

In fact, she was more worried than anything else. By morning, Elliot had already left. Olivia didn't give up, but had no idea that the both of them had already been selected. Yet, she wasn't the victim; he was. Neither of them knew it yet.
