Chapter 10
Olivia woke up with a crippling headache. She tried to move but her body protested. She saw Merritt's hand come towards her as he held a cold cloth against her wounded head. It hurt like hell but she was too pissed to show just how much pain it caused her. She watched as Merritt pulled the cloth away from her head, she saw blood on it. "What the hell did you do to me?" she asked, looking around and quickly realizing she was on the boat again, feeling just as nauseous as she had the last time she had been on the damn thing.
"You said I could trust you, you lied!" Merritt roared at her.
She began to panic as he climbed on top of her but her heart settled slightly as she realized he was just tying her back up. She looked him right in the face as he did it; his once child like innocent looking facial features had turned angry and cold. He looked down to see her looking up at him. She was nowhere near prepared as he crashed his lips down onto hers, heavy and hard. She pursed her lips together denying his tongue access.
He suddenly slapped her face, hard, her cheek felt like it was going to explode and her eyes immediately began to water. As she opened her mouth to let out a cry Merritt quickly smothered it as he forced his tongue inside her mouth. She closed her eyes as she felt his hands snaking up and down her sides. His hands felt cold through the thin fabric of the dress. She was just waiting now, waiting for him to do what she knew he was going to do, waiting for him to rape her.
There was suddenly a knock and Merritt quickly jumped of her, leaving her confused and scared but somewhat relieved. She immediately began pulling on the ropes. She was pulling so hard she could practically hear her muscles tearing, but she kept pulling, harder and harder.
She listened as she suddenly heard Merritt's raised voice; although she couldn't hear what he was saying. There was suddenly a loud thud then things seemed to go quiet. Minutes after the door flew open and Merritt stormed over to her and ripped her up from off the bed. She yelped in pain as the rope pulled harshly at her arms and strained muscles. In his craze he had forgot about the rope. He untied it but not from around her wrists before he dragged her out of the room, pulling her back to her feet each time she stumbled.
They were suddenly in the living area of the boat. Olivia's eyes immediately shot to a girl; no more than 22; bound and gagged lying on the floor. She had a red swollen cheek and her mascara was running down her face with her tears. Olivia could see she was obviously a hooker. They actually looked kind of similar.
Rook suddenly shoved a knife in Olivia tied hands and pushed her towards the girl. "Cut her throat." he ordered.
"What…no way." Olivia said stepping back, only to have Merritt push her back towards the girl.
"Cut her throat!" he yelled.
Olivia looked at the girl who looked completely terrified. There wasn't a chance in hell she was going to hurt this young girl. "Is this one of your tests?" Olivia snapped at him.
"Yes and if you don't do it you fail and your precious Elliot is dead."
"Do you really expect me to kill her she's just a child" Olivia protested loudly.
"Cut her throat or I will, then yours." he said to her.
Olivia flung her arms to the side, sending the knife soaring across the room. "No." she said simply.
Merritt hit her hard across the face, so hard it knocked her to the floor. He walked over to the girl and pulled her up. He dragged her across the room then threw her into a closet before shutting the door and blocking it with a chair. He walked back over to Olivia and pulled her up by her hair.
She clenched her teeth together as he pulled on her hair as he dragged her back into the bedroom. He picked her up and flung her down on the bed. "Stay here!" he yelled at her before he stormed out.
She ran over to the door and listened, praying he wasn't going to hurt that girl. She heard a door slam then everything went quiet. She ran over to the window and watched as Merritt stormed off to the end of the dock. She knew she had to get out of the room and help the girl and herself and ultimately help Elliot.

In the hospital Kathy was sat by Elliot's bed. They may have been separated again but she still felt a lot for the father of her five children. She was looking in the physician's desk reference. She knew somewhere there had to be some clue as to what drug he had been given. All they knew was it didn't appear on any tests and was systematically beginning to shut his body down.
She suddenly came upon something. She had only ever read about this once then underneath was a drug that could reverse the affects if administered soon enough. She ran out to fetch the drug she knew the hospital kept, minutes after she ran back in. "Please work, Oh God I hope this isn't too late. Come on El, please." she begged as she put the drug into his system. "Please work." she begged again and again.

Merritt had been gone for hours so Olivia began looking through all the drawers in the bedroom, hoping to find something to cut the rope with. She was coming up with nothing so far but then suddenly she saw a cell phone. It was the one Merritt had told her to use in the hospital. She picked it up and turned it on. It had hardly any battery but she hoped it would hold out just long enough for her to make one call.
She dialed in the number for the SVU, hoping someone would be there.
"Detective Tutuola, special victims…" Fin began to say.
"Fin!' she cried.
"Jesus Liv where the hell are you?" he asked.
"On a boat at the docks. Merritt Rook took me. Fin please there's another girl here I think he's gonna kill her." she informed him.
"Where about are you?" he asked her.
"I don't know I think by where we first lost Merritt. It's one of those water-boat-home things. Fin please hurry!" she begged.
"We're coming for you baby girl hold in there. We're trying to set up a trace." he informed her.
"Oh God, Fin please hurry. It's err green, the boat…green with plastic flowers on the side, the kind that spin in the wind" she told him, trying to remember the boat from when she had been allowed outside, however that experience was slightly fuzzy thanks to the bump on her head.
She heard the phone beep, telling her the battery was about to give out. "Fin please hurry. I don't know what he's going to do." she begged. The phone beeped again much more frantic this time.
"Hold in there Liv we're on our way. There's something I need to tell you about Elliot, he's…"
"Fin…Fin…Fin Elliot's what?" she cried into the phone. It was no good though, it had died. She fell down onto the bed as her head registered what Fin may have been about to say. She had a sick feeling in her gut. She began to cry as she thought maybe Elliot was gone, she had been too late and all of this had been for nothing. Elliot was dead and it was all her fault. The thought was too much to handle and she burst into a heart filled sob.
