Elliot's headache never seemed to be going away, as he continued lying still while inside of a trap. His body had a few bruises and cuts from trying to fight his capture, but being that he was feeling miserable it didn't help either.
All this time Elliot was wondering how he even got here in the first place, and where Olivia was. Yet if he asked any questions, the man would explode into a violent rage. Keep his mouth shut meant survival, although the guy was probably going to kill him anyways.
Just then he returned, causing Elliot to yell loudly in pain. By now he had more than enough, especially after getting beat over and over again. Once it stopped, Elliot lay there hoping that the same thing wasn't done to Olivia or worse.
Back at the beach, Olivia was preparing herself to head back into the jungle. Yet today, Adam was clearly trying to prevent her from doing just that, which complicated things even further.
" Why are you trying to stop me?" she asked.
Adam remained standing in front of her," It's not safe yet, let me come up with a plan to distract him."
" Yeah and plan is that? For all I know Elliot is already dead. Either way you know something!"
He could see the anger and fear in her eyes, but couldn't simply allow her to do just that. Especially what he had suffered," It's too dangerous, what did you not hear? "
" Oh I heard you, but I'm not going to let some psycho hurt the man I love," with anger flowing in her eyes, as she turned and headed into the jungle. Although once Olivia passed by the waterfall, she didn't bother to stop knowing that it wouldn't turn up with anything that could lead her to Elliot.
Going much further was the key, but something was telling her to turn back. It was too late as Olivia took off running, with someone chasing her from behind. Running as fast as she could, she mananged to turn down another path before tripping and falling down, before blacking out.
When Olivia came to, she felt the hot sun on her face; as Adam knelt down, " You fell and passed out, had to do something."
Between her head throbbing and the distrust she already had, Olivia wanted to know why," Why?"
" You figure it out, you didn't listen to me!"
As Olivia sat up, she groaned silently wanting him to just leave. Yet at the same time, Adam seemed to be looking out for her; which wasn't such a bad thing, except when he decided to take off back into the woods.
Frustrated and angry, Olivia was at a loss of what to do next. She knew that there was a reason for why Adam brought her back here. Going back out there, would only result in her getting possibly hurt or killed. The beach seemed to be the only spot that was safe, but inside Olivia felt terrible about what was being done to Elliot.
From that point her she felt lonelier, but giving up was never an option. Waiting for Adam to come back wasn't fun either, but counting on him didn't seem to be enough. After getting an idea, Olivia knew she had to set a few traps; just to be on the safe side. Her eyes filled up with tears of the thought of finding Elliot dead or dying.
Losing him would shatter her completely. By nightfall, she lay down on the beach, while looking up at the stars. Olivia longed to see his face, to touch him fearing that would never happen. How connected they were to each other.
Every night after this, Olivia would sit by the fire thinking about Elliot. On occasion she'd get up and take a long walk on the shore. With the water rushing between her toes, Olivia exhaled softly, feeling incredibly homesick.
She missed her apartment, but mostly it was her job that she loved so much. What if Cragen the others had stopped looking for them? Olivia feared that they all thought that they were mostly likely dead by now.
One night in particular, Adam joined her near the fire," The camp was moved, he moved deeper into the jungle. I was able to get in, found Elliot lying in a trap. Looks like he's being hurt, the only thing I could make out was him murmuring the name Liv over and over again."
Tears formed in Olivia's eyes, as pictured him lying there aching for her, " We need to get him out of there. Look you know this guy and what he's like."
" So what, I'm trying to prevent you from getting killed. This bastard has a mean streak to him, I already have a plan. Let me take care of this."
" What if your plan backfires, and he kills Elliot?"
Adam at this point kept his cool," If was going to kill him, that would have already happened but If it does, I'll help you rebuild the raft so you can go home. Bet people are missing you."
Olivia sighed," Just the squad, Elliot and I are both cops in New York City."
" I figured you two were, I disappeared from there. The feeling of being homesick doesn't go away, what can you do when no one will rescue you. Not once did I see a plane flying over this island. I gave up after what that bastard did, no sense of trying to build something to get away."
She felt for Adam in a lot of ways," How about you come with us, take that chance."
" No, there's nothing left for me there. Just nice to have someone to talk to, you can trust me Olivia. Being here made me this way, you don't what it's like to be all alone here."
Three Weeks Later…
Elliot had been found after he collapsed near the lake, as soon as both Olivia and Adam helped him get back to the beach and into the hut. Still on the verge of tears, she gently blotted his forehead.
Adam had left shortly after, knowing that the two needed each other. Yet it was a good thing, as Olivia cut off Elliot's shirt; seeing the numerous cuts, scratches and bruises on his chest. Her heart broke instantly, knowing what had been done to him.
For awhile, her eyes watched as his chest rose and fell with each breath. Olivia already predicted how he might react upon waking up. She couldn't blame him, for being tortured but had no idea that this would bring them even closer..
