1Sorry for the wait. I made this chapter extra long to try and make it up to you all. Thank you for being patient.

Elliot awoke to her screaming. "Please don't. Please, anything but that." She stretched her arms out in front of her as if she was pushing someone off of her. He wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her into a seated position. "Liv, wake up baby. It's Elliot. I'm right here. Please open your eyes baby."

She opened her eyes and began crying. He pulled her into his arms and let her tears coat his chest. "H-h-he was their El. We were both in that basement again. Only this time I wasn't alone. Jenn was there with me."

Elliot had fallen back to sleep shortly after her nightmare. Olivia still laid there wide awake. Her mind was racing. Rolling over to get comfortable, she looked at the clock. 2:00 a.m. She came to the conclusion that sleep wasn't a possibility tonight. She slowly crawled out of bed and walked toward the guests' bathroom. The only way she could relax was to indulge in a bubble bath. As the water filled the tub, she went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine. When the water was just right, she undressed and slid into the tub. To ease her mind, she tried to think of her newly found relationship with Elliot and how happy he made her feel. She soaked in the tub until her glass was empty. After drying off, she slipped on her nightgown, grabbed a book and relaxed on the couch.

His hand swept over the spot where she had been laying. He reached further only to find Olivia wasn't there. His eyes shot open as he quickly sat up. He looked around the room in a panic. "Olivia?" Through the small crack in the door, he noticed a dim light. He leapt out of bed and rushed to the door. As the door violently swung open, his breathing slowed when he saw her asleep on the couch. A book laying open on her chest. She looked peaceful. He didn't dare wake her. Instead, he went back into the bedroom and grabbed two blankets and his pillow. He covered her up with one and laid the other on the floor in front of the couch. After some tossing and turning on the hard floor, he fell asleep.

Six o'clock came too soon. Olivia heard the alarm and sprung up off the couch. She tripped over Elliot, causing her to fall. The floor smacked her in the face. Elliot got up slowly. He noticed her lying by his feet, a soft moan escaping her lips. He jumped up and helped her up off the floor. She sat on the couch and began rubbing the right side of her face. He sat beside her and said "Sorry," as he wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Elliot, what the hell?" she asked surprised. "When did you come out here?"

He looked down at his watch, "I don't know, around 4:30 I guess." He pulled her to her feet. "Are you okay?"

She rubbed her head. "I've got a headache, but other than that I'm fine."

"Why did you leave the bedroom? You scared the shit out of me when I awoke to find you not there."

"Sorry El. I couldn't sleep, so I took a bath and came out here. I was trying to relax." The alarm was still buzzing loudly. Olivia scrunched up her face and rubbed both sides of her forehead.

Elliot walked toward the bedroom. "I'll get the alarm. You get some Advil."

She went into the kitchen and poured a glass of orange juice. Then she grabbed two Advil from the cupboard and sat at the counter. Elliot walked up behind her and started rubbing her back. He reached over her left shoulder, grabbing her glass and gulped down some of her juice. "Are you sure you want to go to work today?"

"I have to El. You know that. We have to catch him."

They walked into the squad room and were surprised to find that it was quiet. Olivia sat down at her desk and turned on her computer. Elliot walked over to the coffee pot and began preparing some coffee as Cragen approached him. "Hey Elliot, can we talk in my office?"

"Sure Cap." As he followed him into his office, he glanced over at Olivia only to find her typing something on her computer. Elliot closed the door behind them and looked over at his Captain. "What's up Cap?" He could tell that Cragen was concerned.

"How's she holding up? She looks exhausted."

Elliot cleared his throat, "Not very well. She can't sleep without having nightmares. She hasn't eaten much in the last few days. She's scared Cap. She swears that he is watching her. A few days ago, she said she could feel him watching her in Central Park."

Cragen leaned over his desk and began fidgeting with his pen. "Elliot, I want you to take her home and stay with her. She won't get much accomplished here. We already know who he is, we just need to find the son of a bitch. Fin and Munch can do the leg work today. She needs her rest."

"Okay Cap, but what if she refuses to leave?"

"I'll play hard ball with her and let her know it's not a suggestion. It's an order."

While Cragen and Elliot were having their pow wow without her, Olivia's phone rang. She answered, "SVU, this is Benson, how may I help you?"

A low, raspy voice replied. "I'm watching you Olivia."

Her eyes widened as a small gasp escaped her lips.

"Did I surprise you? I thought it was only fair to let you know that you're all I thought about the past three years at Rikers. I've been following you everywhere." He paused to whistle. "I have to admit, you're even sexier than the last time we were together. The other day I had to relieve myself in Central Park."

She narrowed her eyes as she listened to his words, then his last sentence hit her like a ton of bricks. Her eyes widened again. She knew he was there. She felt her skin crawl as she tightened her grip on the phone. "What do you want from me?"

"I want what you owe me. Your little stunt at Sealview caused me to lose my job. Now you're going to make it up to me."

She took a deep breath trying to hold back her fear and blurted out the first thing that came to her. "Go to hell Harris!" With that she slammed the phone down. She knew she had to calm herself before they came out of the office. After taking a few breaths, she walked over to the coffee pot. Her knees threatened to collapse as they wobbled beneath her. She filled her cup and then sat back down at her desk. Before they were finished, she wrote something down on a piece of paper and folded it two times before placing it in her jacket pocket.

Elliot stood up and opened the door to Cragen's office. As he made his way to his desk, he noticed that her eyes were fixed on him. He sat down at his desk and began writing something on a notepad. Once he was finished, he looked over at her. She cleared her throat and then swallowed. "So, are you going to tell me what he said?"

He dropped the pen onto the notepad. "He's worried about you and ordered me to take you home and stay with you." He watched her closely, waiting for her to put up a fight.

What she said next took him by complete surprise.

"That sounds like a good plan to me." She stood up just as Fin and Munch entered the squad room.

Elliot ripped off the top sheet of his notepad and handed it to Fin. He then walked over to the coffee pot and poured himself a to-go cup. While his back was turned, Olivia walked over to Fin and handed him her folded up piece of paper. He looked at her questioningly. She looked straight into his eyes and whispered, "Please do this for me ASAP."

He replied in an equally soft voice, "Anything for you baby girl."

Elliot turned around and he and Olivia walked out of the squad room and caught an elevator down to the main floor. As they walked out of the building, a cold chill ran up her spine. She stopped for a split second and scanned her surroundings. Elliot looked over at her, "Liv, is something wrong?"

"No, everything's fine. Let's go home."

They got in the car and headed for her apartment. About 500 feet behind them, Harris pulled away from the curb and trailed them. Once they reached her apartment, Harris parked a block away and watched them enter her building. He grinned as he turned the radio up just as "The Devil Is Me" came on. His favorite KISS songs of all time.
