Chapter 7

Elliot must have fallen asleep because the next thing he knew, the manager was standing over him with an evil grin on his face, showing his disgusting yellow crooked teeth. It sent a shiver down the detective's spine every time he saw them.

The piece of trash needed to see a dentist real quick.

Elliot took a quick look at the bed on the other side of the damp, cold room, expecting to see his partner, but it was empty. Olivia was gone. She was missing.

The detective turned back to the malicious man. "Where the hell is my...wife?" Elliot had almost said 'partner' but he had managed to hold his tongue otherwise he would have ruined their cover and that would definitely make the situation worse for him and Olivia.

"Oh don't worry. She is being taken care of."

A million different terrible scenarios were going through Elliot's head, like a freight train. Elliot just hoped with everything in him that the love of his life wasn't being hurt. "What the hell do you mean by that exactly?"

The man could hear the anger in his voice but he could also sense the hurt and worry mixed in, making him laugh. "Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself right now?" He asked, flashing his pen knife in front of Elliot's gorgeous cerulean blue eyes.

The detective felt a shiver go through his spine when he saw the knife shine in the light of the lamp. "What the hell do you want with me and my wife? What the fuck did we ever do to you?" Elliot asked.

"Firstly…" the guy said. "Your wife is stunning, who wouldn't want to screw her." He said.

Elliot's blood boiled at the way he was talking about Olivia. Damn right she was stunning but she wasn't a piece of meat men could wish they could posses or screw or whatever they thought. "Please just tell me where she is?" Elliot asked.

"Okay well I'll start by telling you about my usual routine." The guy said.

Elliot looked at him confused. "Just tell me if she's okay?" Elliot yelled at him.

The manager kicked him hard in the face then began kicking him over and over again in the stomach. There was nothing Elliot could do to shield the blows. The guy suddenly stopped. "You just don't learn. None of you newly weds ever do. I have to screw your wives senseless and slit their throats in front of you before any of you will listen. Is that what you want Elliot, to watch me torture Olivia..?" He asked smugly.

"No I want you to leave her alone…but I want to know why you're doing this." Elliot said weakly as his broken ribs and his entire body ached.

"Because it's what you deserve, you and Olivia just like all those other newly wed, happy couples." He said bitterly.

"Is that what it is? Your wife ditch you or did she leave you standing at the alter?" Elliot asked, taking a turn to be smug.

"You know what..?" The guy said. "I think I'm gonna go see Olivia."

"No stay away from her, just leave her alone…!" Elliot yelled after him, but he walked up the basement stairs, completely ignoring him.

"Damn-it!" Elliot cursed as he began pulling with everything he had on the cuffs that held him in place. He suddenly noticed something in the corner of his eye. A small set of keys. They were the keys for the cuffs. Elliot could only conclude they had fallen out of the manager's pocket during his attack.

He reached his free arm out and just about managed to reach them and then uncuffed himself. His arms fell to his sides, before he placed them over his ribs. Next he just had to get up. He prayed his battered body would be able to do it.

Elliot ran up the stairs and noticed a door, he hadn't noticed earlier when they'd come in before. It was then he heard a scream, Olivia's painful scream. She was being tortured.

He ran to the door and opened it to see Olivia tied up in a chair. She was naked. Nothing was covering her. He could see the embarrassment in her eyes, at her exposure. Her eyes were drooping, she was exhausted and giving up. Elliot knew it. He could see it in her eyes.

It was then he noticed the room that they were in. It was another back room. It was painted blood red, with black curtains. Elliot raised an eyebrow. It was the manager's room. This man had a weird taste in things. He had gruesome looking torture devices of sorts on one side of the room, a big bed in the middle but then teddies on the other side of the room.

"Liv..." He whispered.

Olivia looked up and smiled slightly. "Go, El. Please go." She mouthed.

The manager was returning with someone else. There were now two men.

Who was the other man? Elliot had to wait and see. He hid behind something and watched as the manager and the other man emerged from a bathroom, adjoined to the room. His heart kept skipping beats, he had no idea what the hell they were going to do to her, or what they had already done to her.

Elliot moved his hand and felt something cold and hard hit his hand. He looked down it was his gun. "Yes!" He whispered. He grabbed it and got up, aiming it at the manager.

"Whoa! What the hell?! Well, well, well, if it isn't Olivia's knight in shining armor." The manager laughed. The man looked beside him. "Rick, meet Elliot. Elliot, meet my cousin Rick."

Elliot's hand was shaking as he continued to aim the gun at the men. "Let me and Olivia go." He said in anger.

Olivia looked at Elliot before turning to the men. She was freaking out because she had seen the shot gun that the men took into the bathroom, but the weird thing was that they hadn't brought it back out with them, ''Where they trying to get caught?'

"Phil, I thought I told you to get rid of the stupid gun?" Rick said to the other man, the manager.

"I thought I did, Rick. Damn it!" Phil said.

Rick slowly stepped towards Elliot, with his hands up in the air. "Okay Elliot we're both men here, lets talk about this like men." He said.

"You're not a man, you're a fucking coward." Elliot spat at him angrily.

He took his eyes off Phil for a minute but that was all he needed to move behind Olivia, he'd grabbed his penknife and was holding it against Olivia's neck. "I don't know how you got free but it was the biggest mistake of you life. You just got your wife killed." He told Elliot.

Elliot just looked at him then at Olivia, she looked so scared, he'd never seen pure fear on her face but he saw now.
