A/N: Thanks for the reviews!
"You'll kill me?" Davide sarcastically asked Elliot. "That's rich considering you're the one tied up and I have the gun, but good luck with that.
"I'm not kidding, you touch her and I will kill you," Elliot said stoically.
"Yeah, yeah whatever you say Stabler. You're starting to bore me, so how bout you shut up and let me think now," Davide said.
Olivia looked at Elliot begging him with her eyes not to anger Davide more than he already was. Elliot knew that it would kill him to watch Davide even touch Olivia let alone God forbid rape her. He knew he needed to get them out of there before there was even a chance that could play out. He wondered why Cragen hadn't figured out where they were yet.
Olivia's breathing was becoming labored; she tried not letting Elliot see this. She was having a panic attack. The thought of Davide killing Elliot in front of her made her want to vomit. She felt as if she had already caused so much pain and been through her own share that there was no way she could live through watching Elliot be killed in front of her, because of her. She started to wonder if perhaps she could reason with Davide and get them both out of this.
Davide walked over to Olivia and gently ran the knife down her clavicle. He then leaned in close to her. She could feel his breath on her neck and wanted to vomit. He began to run kisses down Olivia's neck as she tried with everything she had to pull away.
Elliot's fists curled up as his hands turned beat red. He could feel the heat coming from them. If he wasn't tied to this chair right now, he knew he would kill Davide without hesitation. He had feverishly been working on loosening the rope for hours and felt like he was making some progress, but not fast enough.
"Get your fuckin hands off her right now!" Elliot screamed.
Davide immediately turned around not amused by Elliot's words. Elliot just wanted the man's focus off of Olivia and onto him. He knew if he pissed him off enough he might come after him and leave Olivia alone.
"Why don't you come at someone your own size Davide," Elliot questioned.
"Oh what you don't think your girlfriend can handle herself? I mean come on Stabler, she shot my 18-year old daughter, I think she can handle just about anything," Davide said walking back over to Olivia.
"I didn't mean to kill her!" Olivia screamed. "If you would just let me explain what happened that day, maybe you could try to understand."
"Understand? You want me to understand that you shot and killed my daughter? Wow, this should be good, go for it Olivia," Davide said to her.
Elliot was relieved that Davide's attention was now on listening to Olivia's story rather than touching her. He needed her to keep him talking long enough to untie the ropes and make some kind of move on their captor.
Olivia began to explain to Davide how much she truly cared for his daughter, Jenna, and how she never meant for her to get hurt. She told him how she came into the stationhouse waving a gun around, shot a nun and opened fire in a cell with three people in it. Davide interrupted Olivia stating that those three men in the cell were responsible for the rape and killing of Jenna's mother. Olivia knew this and understood. She cared deeply for Annette and Jenna. She had been there with them right from the start. She wanted Davide to understand she only did what she was trained to do. She didn't want to shoot Jenna, and she most definitely didn't want to kill her. She was doing her job. She had to think of the safety of everyone in the room. Jenna was a threat. She practically begged Davide to forgive her, knowing that she would never truly forgive herself.
Elliot listened as Olivia relived the entire ordeal again. He heard the hitch in her voice and saw the beginning of the tears in her eyes. He hated that she felt she needed to explain her actions to this man who was holding them captive. He also knew it might be their only chance to get out of this situation. Elliot just needed her to keep talking a bit longer, as he had almost completely loosened the ropes.
Olivia began to beg for forgiveness from Jenna's father. He just laughed at her, which broke Elliot's heart. She has tried so hard to put that day behind her and move on and now this bastard was not only making her relive the entire thing but mocking her at the same time.
Elliot was finally free. He gave Olivia a look to let her know his hands were free and to keep Davide facing her. She understood the eye contact and knew what she had to do. She began to cry, or at least pretended to, to keep Davide from turning around and looking at Elliot.
Elliot slipped the ropes off his hands letting them fall to the floor. He rubbed his wrists as they were red and burned. He stood up and gave Olivia a sign. She kicked him as hard as she could in the balls while Elliot jumped him from behind. The gun went flying across the floor as Elliot and Davide continued to fight. Olivia felt helpless, as she was still tied to the chair. Elliot was finally able to get one good shot in that knocked Davide out. He immediately went to work on the ropes that bonded Olivia. In their panic to get her untied, neither noticed that Davide had come to and grabbed the gun from the floor. As Elliot and Olivia stood up, planning their escape, they turned around to find a gun trained on them and a very pissed off Davide at the other end of the gun.
"Shit!" Elliot yelled. He was angry that he didn't go for the gun before untying Olivia. He thought Davide would be out longer.
Just as Davide was about to have them tie each other up again, Cragen, Munch and Fin came busting through the door. Elliot got in front of Olivia as everyone had their weapons drawn. Davide quickly grabbed Olivia and stood behind her using her as a shield. Elliot stood their helplessly, feeling as if he had again let her down.
Olivia looked over at Elliot and watched as he mouthed the words, "I'm sorry," to her.
She smiled at him, as if to say it was okay and not his fault.
Cragen demanded that Davide lower his gun and let Olivia go. His response was a hearty laugh. Davide knew there was no way out of this. He had three guns on him right now and was holding a detective at gunpoint. The question wasn't whether or not he was going to die; it was whether or not he'd be taking Olivia with him.
"You all need to back the fuck off or I swear I will kill her!" Davide screamed.
Elliot immediately panicked as he could see Davide devolving from his earlier behavior. He knew the man had nothing to lose at this point, and he also knew they were the most dangerous men. He had no way of letting Cragen know this. He needed Cragen to back off a little and let him or Olivia try to talk to him down.
Elliot was able to give Cragen a look that said stand down for the time being, he just hoped he understood. Elliot decided he would have a go at Davide. He decided to turn the conversation away from Jenna if possible.
"Hey Davide, I got a question for you," Elliot said trying to goad him.
"I have my ways, Stabler," Davide responded.
"Yeah? Well I'm interested in your ways since you decided to break in here and color the walls while Detective Benson and I were asleep," Elliot spat back.
"Asleep? Is that what you call it? You two were going at it like fuckin rabbits who are you kidding?" Davide said laughing.
"And you got your rocks off watching us?" Elliot said slightly embarrassed that he was discussing having sex with Olivia in front of Munch, Cragen and Fin.
"Well I needed to leave you a message and it was kinda hard not to hear you two!" Davide said not missing an opportunity to embarrass the two in front of their coworkers.
"Okay enough!" yelled Elliot. "I wanna know how you knew where we were," Elliot demanded.
"Let's just say this Detective Stabler, you don't need to look further than this room to find out who the snitch is," Davide said setting off looks between all the coworkers and a gasp from Olivia.
"You're trying to tell me that someone in this room told you where to find Olivia and I? You are a lying piece of shit Davide and I will see you in jail, now let Olivia go or I swear to God I am going to kill you!" Elliot yelled.
"It's hard feeling betrayed isn't it Elliot? That's kinda how I felt when I heard that your precious Olivia who had supposedly cared about my Jenna had shot her dead. I imagine Jenna felt the exact same way," Davide said desperately trying to get a reaction from Elliot which he got.
Elliot started to lunged for Davide but was abruptly stopped when Davide took the safety off the gun and shoved in it Olivia's side. Elliot put his hands up in surrender, not wanting to do anything to get Olivia hurt.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry," Elliot said backing off.
"You try anything like that again Stabler and she's dead," Davide stated stoically.
Elliot saw nothing changing in this situation, Davide was not going to back off or let Olivia go. There was no talking the guy down he was intent on making he and Olivia pay for Jenna, even though nothing that happened that day was their fault.
Olivia began to attempt to plead with Davide. She told him that Elliot had nothing to do with what had happened to Jenna and to please let him and the others go and she would stay with him. This earned her a most disapproving look from Elliot. He knew there was no way he was walking out of there without Olivia, and she knew Elliot would never leave her in there with Davide but she had to try. She sick at the thought of Elliot being hurt for something she had done.
"You need to listen to me Hayden," Olivia pleaded. "What happened with Jenna was an accident and I did care deeply for her. You have to believe that."
"It does suck to be betrayed as you will soon find out, Olivia," Davide quipped back.
"You keep indicating that, what are you trying to say? For Christ sake just fuckin say it. I'm sick of this. You're holding a damn gun on me, threatening to shoot the man I love and myself let's just be done with this already. Say what you've been dying to say if you have the balls!" Olivia yelled.
"You bitch! You wanna know the truth? Okay you got it…"
Suddenly, a shot rang out as Davide and Olivia fell to the floor. Elliot rushed over to her and rolled her over. She had blood on her. She quickly assured him the blood was not hers and she was not hit. He checked Davide's pulse and got nothing. He yelled for Cragen to call a bus. He helped Olivia stand up, neither of them sure at that point where the shot came from. They looked around and realized that Fin had taken the shot.
Elliot immediately ran over to him punched him square in the face. "You idiot! You could have killed Olivia! What the hell were you thinking?" Elliot questioned in a frenzied tone.
"El, he was getting crazy he was gonna take her out at any minute," Fin replied.
"Bullshit! Olivia was talking to him; he didn't make any sudden moves you didn't need to take that shot!" Elliot replied.
All of a sudden Elliot heard Olivia walk up behind him and she gasped. He turned around to look at her. She had Davide's blood all over her and her hand was covering her mouth. At first he wasn't sure if maybe she had been hit and just didn't notice right away, but as he looked in her eyes he began to realize what she had already realized.
Olivia immediately went for Fin just as he had gotten up off the floor recovering from Elliot's punch to the face. Elliot held her flush against himself stopping her from going after Fin.
"You bastard!" Olivia yelled at Fin. "How could you do this to me? To Elliot?"
"Umm call me the slow one in the group but what the hell is going on here?" Munch asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Olivia asked Munch. "Fin is the one who gave the information to Davide about where Elliot and I were hiding."
"That's ridiculous. Fin would never do that," Munch said defending his friend.
"Really?" asked Olivia. "Why don't you look him in the eyes and asked him Munch."
"Fin?" Munch questioned.
"It's not what it seems you guys, I swear. I didn't know the guy was this unhinged." Fin replied.
Now it was Elliot's turn to get angry and he lunged for him only to be stopped as Cragen got in front of Fin.
"Look I have no idea what the hell is going on here but someone better start talking and Fin I suggest that someone is you," Cragen said.
Fin began to explain that Davide had approached him a few months before Olivia had come back. He explained that he just wanted to talk to her about what had happened that day and what Jenna's state of mind was.
Olivia interrupted saying, "That's all fine and dandy Fin, but when we realized who the murderer of five girls was and that he was coming after Elliot and I, you still told him where to find us. Explain that to me!"
"You screwed me over Liv! You and I kept in touch the entire time you were gone. You never called Elliot or anyone else, but you called me and we got close, then you come back Elliot forgives you and it's like nothing ever happened between us!" Fin screamed at her.
"Fin! Nothing ever did happen between us. You were my friend when I needed one, and I appreciated that more than you will ever know, but I never denied to you that I was in love with Elliot and you know it. I don't know what you think was going on between us, but it wasn't real. You were my friend, never anything more," Olivia tried to explain to him.
"I was your friend?" Fin questioned.
"Yeah Fin you were my friend. You knew this guy was after me and Elliot and you led him right to us. I can't forget that let alone forgive it," Olivia said as she walked out of the house.
"You bastard!" Elliot spat in face as he followed Olivia out of the house.
Elliot caught up to Olivia outside the house. He walked up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist burying his head in her neck.
"You okay?" He asked.
"No, but I will be," Olivia said her voice shaking. "How could Fin betray us like that?"
"It's pretty obvious he thought there was more going on with you two than there was. Can't say I wasn't a little surprised to hear you had been in touch with him the entire time you were gone," Elliot said.
"El, I'm sorry…I needed…"
"Liv, it's okay, I don't care. You're safe, we're safe I love you and nothing else really matters," Elliot said.
Olivia turned around to face Elliot. She looked into his eyes an right then and there she knew she would be okay, they would be okay and that somehow, someway there was life after Jenna.
