Emergency

Chapter 10

Trail

(Elliot's POV)

We heard crashing of glass and thuds of objects. After what seemed like 30 minutes it had finally stopped.

"Is it safe to go up?" Lizzie asked, standing up.

"I think so." Olivia added.

We all silently made our way up the stairs and into the family room. Only the garage was torn apart. The rest of the house stood firm.

"Thank god." Kathy said sitting down on the couch.

(Time Jump)

(Olivia's POV)

Three week's had come and gone since we left West Springfield, and Edwards trail was getting closer. Elliot had been called to the stand to testify. Not two days until the man we longed so badly for would be put on death row.

Elliot had moved in with me. I couldn't have been happier... but of course we had to deal with IBA. As much as I didn't want him to Elliot was to be transferred out... It was had to imagine working in SVU without Elliot on my side... but I understood. Yet understanding didn't make it the least bit easier.

(Trail)

Elliot sat on the witness stand, his hand shaking. Out of all the times I have seen him on this stand, I had never seen him act quite like this. Alex stood up.

"Mr. Stabler, is it true that you are in a romantic relationship with Mrs. Benson?" She asked.

"Uh, yes." He answered, confused why she asked that. So was I.

"Is it possible that these feeling clouded your judgment with this case?"

"We weren't romantically involved when these events accord."

"But you still had these feeling for her, yes?"

"Yes?" No one knew where this was going.

Edwards lawyer stood up from behind her desk. "Relevance, you honor?"

Elizabeth looked at Alex. "Where ever you are going get there soon."

She nodded his head. "Mr. Stabler do you remember what Mr. Edwards said?"

"Not exactly. I remember the idea's of what it was."

"Do you care to elaborate?" Elliot tensed up.

"He said he was going to kidnap her, and have sexual intercourse with her." I shut my eyes. Not wanting to hear this.

"Is that all?"

"He said, "while I watched.""

"So not only did he kidnap he threatened Ms. Benson?"

"Yes."

"At any point in time did he ever threaten her life?"

"Yes. He kept saying he would make me watch that also."

Alex closed her eyes. I could tell she didn't want to ask or hear the answers to these questions, either. "Did he ever say anything about the other women while you where in there?"

"I can't recall if he did or did not. I do remember him mentioning an ex co-worker of mine tho."

"Who?"

"Casey Novak." I gasped. Remembering Casey hadn't answered her phone in a while, and was not at her house. Elliot's eyes saw the fear in mine.

"Did he mention anyone else?" Elliot looked down. Then to Edwards sitting behind his desk. "Answer the question please." He looked at Alex directly in the eye.

"You."

She froze and looked at the defendant. "Excuse me? This was not mentioned in your report?"

I stood and walked out of the court room into the main hallway. I reached for my phone and dialed Casey's number one last time. It went straight to voicemail. When I hung up my phone began to rang.

"Benson?"

"Liv, its me Casey." Her voice was weary and dry.

"Casey, where the hell are you?"

"I don't know. Some guy just took me. I tried to fight him off but I couldn't."

"Edwards."

"I can't talk long. He just dropped his cell phone and I dont know where he is."

"He is in court! Stay on the line as long as you can." I ran back into the court room. Elliot was now being cross examined by the defense. "Alex," I whispered.

"Yes?"

"Call a recess."

"Why?"

"Just do it. He has Casey, we need to find her." Alex stood.

"May we have a recess, your honor?"

"Why?"

"I can not discuss it at the moment. But we have recently found some information."

"Alright." She banged her gavel. "10 minute recess."

"And if you could, do not allow Mr. Edwards phone access."

She nodded. We all exited the court room. "Let me see your phone Alex." I put the phone back up to my ear. "You still there Casey?"

"Yea..." She barely said.

"Will someone please explain to me what is going on?" Elliot questioned walking up to us. Alex handed me her cell phone. I dialed CSU.

"Andrew." the new CSU's voice rang.

"Hey, Andrew I need you to take a cell phone signal under the name Robert Edwards."

"Alright."

I heard Casey move on the other end. "Liv, I hear some one."

"What ever you do don't hang up the phone."

"Okay. Someone is coming downstairs." I heard the end shuffle and muffled voices I could barely make out.

"So I hear they found some news on my buddies case... you have any idea how that happened?" I heard a male voice say.

"I have no idea. I swear." I heard a smash then a scream. Casey's scream. I heard these sounds repeat over and over. I felt tears swell up in my eyes. Elliot and Alex's eyes were glued to me. At some point Elliot took Alex's phone from me.

I heard the screaming stop and a minute later breath on the phone.

"Casey?" I whispered.

"Liv." She croaked. I sighed with somewhat relief.

"Are you okay?"

"No." Her voice was wet. "Help me out of here."

"We are..." Elliot nodded his head.

"We got the address." He said.

"We are on our way."

"Elliot you have to stay and finish the cross examination." Alex said.

"Alex," I said. "Casey was just beaten and probably hasn't eaten for days! I need back up."

She sighed. "Fine. Just let me go to Chambers really quick. Olivia come with me."

"Oh god Olivia." Casey said. "There is more then one coming down right now."

"Just hang in there Cas." I fallowed Alex to Judge Donnelly's Chamber.

"Alex? Olivia?" She questioned.

"Judge Donnelly I am sorry but Elliot needs to leave the stand."

"He can't. He is subpoenaed to be here. If he leave he will in contempt."

They screaming started again. I shut my eyes at the sound of hearing one of my best friends screaming for help.

"Please Judge Donnelly we need to leave now." I said.

"Why?"

I sighed and handed the phone over to her. She put it up to her ear.

"Who is this?" she asked.

"It's Casey."

"Oh my god." She sat down. "Is it Edwards men that have her."

"Yes." She handed the phone back to me. "We have her corridents we just need to get there."

"Go."

She started to hand the phone back to me when it was far enough to be heard by the both of us we heard. "Get off me! Help!"

"Go now!" I ran out of the Chamber to my car which Elliot had already started.

It didn't take long to get there. There was one man guarding the basement. We took him down with one shot and called back up. We made our way down to the basement where I could still hear Casey screaming. I kicked down the door. I saw a flash of light, like a camera light. But it was a strobe light of in the conner and a man with a video camera of to the side. No one seemed to notice me breaking the door down... you could barely hear it over Casey screaming. Through the flashes I saw someone being dragged in, a man who was unconscious. Elliot. I knew I couldn't save Casey alone. I could possibly hold off until back up came. I raised my gun and shot the first person I saw. The rest looked at me and all came after me at once.

(Lizzie's POV)

I was sitting in my room on myspace. I accidentally clicked on addwear in the side bar.

"No don't take me there!" I yelled at my stupid computer. Pop ups flung all over my computer, while trying to exit them I noticed something. Two woman screaming for dear life as men climbed ontop of them. Wanting to exit I rushed my mouse over to the X when I realized I knew these women. "Oh my god!" I ran out of my bedroom and downstairs. "Mom!" She came running in from outside.

"What is it? Is it the baby?!"

"No! It's Olivia and Casey!?!"

"What about them?" I grabbed her wrist and dragged her upstairs to my bed room. I turned not wanting to see anymore of the mess unfolding. "Oh my god!"

Then I heard a man scream, "Get off them!" It was a voice all to familiar!

"Is that Dad!?" My mom just nodded her head silently.

"Get the phone!" My mom screamed at me. I ran to my purse and got my cell phone and handed it to her. She dialed a number. "Cragen..."

(Alex's POV)

I tapped my foot nervously as the defense questioned there witness. I felt my phone in my right jacket pocket vibrate. I silently pulled it out of my pocket and took a glance at it. It was an unknown number. I sighed and shut my phone... it was probably just another spam text.

I looked up and the court room was looking at me. "Uh, no questions."

She banged her gavel. "We are dismissed until 3 pm tomorrow." I walked out of the court room doors and decided to read the unknown text anyway. It was Olivia and Casey screaming as lights went off and men groped them careless of their screams. Right underneath the video was a text saying "Be careful or your next." I dropped the phone to the ground.

(Olivia's POV)

The men walked up the stairs after chaining us to walls. The three men that I had killed laid there on the floor.

"Are you alright?" Elliot asked me.

"No! I am not alright!" I yelled back.

"Im so sorry Liv. I didn't mean to bring you guys into this." Casey said crying.

"where is that cell phone?" I asked putting back on my ripped shirt. Giving up when it didn't work.

"Here." Elliot took of his jacket and shirt and handed one to each of us.

"Thanks." Casey replied quietly. "Those guy broke it when they were moving around." I sighed and wiped a tear from my cheek.

"How long have you been here?" Elliot asked. I could still hear the anger in his voice even tho I could barely see his face.

"Four days. They have feed me twice."

"Oh my god." I said, leaning my head back against the wall. I felt Elliot take my hand and pull me towards him.

"We will make it through this." He pecked my lips and let me lay into him.

"Its so cold in here." I said and he pulled me tighter. I heard Casey moving around and then she was next to us pulling a battered blanket over us.

Yea sorry about this chapter I really don't know why I wrote it like this... but this is a whim story so yea :S
