Chapter 12: reality

8 hours later

Mark was pacing around the squad room just wondering if Olivia was ok. Was she hurt? Was she just walking around for no reason? He had no clue and that was driving him nuts. Mark had left the girls at his mom's house because he didn't want them to worry about her.

" Mark, why don't you go see the girls for a while. Just as soon as we get anything, you will be the first call." Cragen told the frantic husband. Mark shook his head.

" Lilly and Maria will be ok. I don't want to start answering questions just yet." Mark said while still pacing in a line. Cragen put a hand on his shoulder. Mark finally stopped and looked up at Cragen.

" Then just sit down. Mark, we WILL find her. I promise you, ok?" Mark nodded his head and sat down at Olivia's desk. Cragen went back into his office to make some calls. Mark looked on the desk and saw a couple of pictures of them on their wedding day and another picture of Olivia holding Maria and Lilly. She was beaming with happiness. Mark smiled. Just then, Fin came in with Elliot and Munch following him. They went to Cragen's office.

" You have something?" Cragen asked. The guys nodded.

" You bet. We have a witness who saw a dark blue van come from a parking lot not far from Mark and Olivia's house. They heard a woman's voice screaming something and then there was silence."

" Did they get the licence plate number?" Cragen asked.

" Yeah." Munch gave Captain the paper with the numbers on it.

" Ok. I will call a friend so he can run this plate though fast." He told them. The guys nodded and went back out.

Olivia just closed her eyes as she was raped again. She thought if she didn't acknowledge what was happening, then she wasn't in any pain. Boy was she wrong. Andrew kept on panting above her as he came to his release. He got off her. Olivia silently thanked the lord. She was really sore and knew she was bleeding.

" You did good, Olivia. Best sex I ever had." He snickered. Olivia just looked away. She was not going to say anything.

" Well, I'll be back to get you some food." Andrew said and left. Once Olivia knew she was alone, she broke down. She didn't know what to do. Just as that thought came into her mind, another came in.

'Why am I letting this scumbag get to me?' She thought. ' I have to get out of here.' Olivia tried to wiggle her hands out of bondage. She almost got one hand out when Andrew came back in. Olivia hid her hands behind her in the shadow.

" I got you food." He went over to her to let her out, but Olivia stopped him.

" I'm not hungry." She told him. Andrew just ignored her and went to untie her hands. That was when he saw her hands almost out of the tape. He realized she was trying to escape.

" Trying to get away from me, Olivia?" He said, suddenly getting mad.

" N-No..." Olivia didn't even get to finish her sentence before he smacked her across the face.

" You don't EVER try to get away, you understand?

" Yeah." She winced in pain.

" Good thing you aren't hungry cause you are not having anything." He said angrily before walking out. Olivia let out a big breath and just continued to try to get out of bondage. She successfully got her hands out but she had to get her feet out. Once she did, she tried to get up and walk, but it hurt so much. She decided to crawl on the floor to find a way out, but there was nothing except for the front door, but she couldn't take the chance to get caught. She was about to get back to her bed when Andrew came back in. He saw her almost to the bed. He went ballistic.

He ran over to her and grabbed her hair and pulled it back." Bitch!" He seethed.

" Ouch! Stop it!" She screamed. He pushed her to the ground and punched her square in the jaw and Olivia knew right then that it was broken. She cried in pain.

" I will teach you to never try to run." He said angrily in her ear before he punched her more in her face. Olivia began to see darkness.

" Ok. We have where he is. We are sending cars over there now. I want you all to go over there too. I will keep Mark here." Cragen told them after hours of searching, they had a hit on the license. They knew it was Andrew, so they just had to find out where he was. It was partly easy because of where he held all of his victims.

" Yes, sir." They all said before they left. Just as they did, Mark came in.

" Do you have anything on Olivia?" He asked.

" The guys are going to get her." Cragen said looking up from his work.

" Well, I'm going to go too." He said before turning around. Cragen stopped him.

" Don't go. When I have the word that we have the guy, you can go to the hospital, but you have to remember the kids."

Mark sighed. He rubbed his temple. " Yeah. You are right." He said before going out the door.

" Come back here." Andrew commanded the guy who was the sniper at Mark's mom's house.

" Yes, sir." He replied.

Andrew looked at the unconscious Olivia beside him. He didn't want to do that, but she left him no choice.She tried to run, so he had to teach her. Just like he taught the other women.

Just as he was about to lay her back on the make shift bed, the door was busted open. The police found them, but he didn't see how. He chose a place he thought no one would be able to find. He was wrong.

" Police! Put your hands up where we can see them ! NOW!!" Elliot barked. He was pissed. No, beyond pissed. Andrew knew he had no other place to run to, so he surrendered.He gently placed Olivia back on the floor, and put his hands in the air. Two cops came over to him and roughly pulled his hands behind his back before they cuffed him.They took him outside and put him in the marked car. Just as they shut the door, they saw a man walk by and look at the building and stop, but when he saw the police there, he kept on walking, except this time walking fast. Fin and Munch saw this and started to run after the guy. The man ran faster, but Fin caught up with him and tackled him down.

" Stupid ass." Fin told him. With Munch's help, they got him back to the car and put him in there.

Meanwhile, Elliot ran over to Olivia and picked her up. He got out of the building and handed her to the paramedic near him.

" It's going to be ok, Liv. Just hang on." He whispered, hoping she could hear him. " I want to ride with her." He told the paramedic.

The paramedic nodded. Elliot got in the back with Olivia and held her hand. He was really mad that this happened to the one person who helped him through everything. Not only that, but she was like his sister.

Once they was there, Olivia was rolled into the building and straight to the operating room. Mark was there in the waiting room looking for Olivia. Elliot went to him and sat by him.

" How is she?" He asked worried.

" Not good. She was unconscious when we got there. Our perp really beat her." Elliot said sadly. He hated that he was telling his best friend's husband the horrible news.

" I wish I talked her out of going to work. This would have never happened."

" You never would have known that. All you can do now is be there for her." Elliot told him. Mark nodded.

It was 4 o' clock in the morning when a doctor came out. Elliot was asleep, but Mark was looking at the ceiling absently. He noticed the doctor and went over to him. That was when Elliot woke up. He looked over at Mark and the doctor. He decided to give them privacy.

" I'm Dr. Hill. Are you Olivia's husband?"

" Yes."

" Well, we just got done with her surgery. She had a broken jaw, and a lot of bruises on her face, neck and stomach. I'm very sorry about what happened." The doctor told him. Mark bit his lip and nodded.

" Can I go see her?"

" Yes. She is conscious now, but a little groggy from the anesthesia. Room 117." He told him. Mark thanked him and went where the doctor told him to go.

Once at the designated room, Mark held his breath and walked in. He was shocked by her appearance. She looked so small in that bed. He walked over to the side of the bed and grabbed a chair before sitting in it. He grabbed the hand that was not stuck with a needle. Olivia flinched a little.

" Baby, it's me." Mark told her soothingly. Olivia opened her eyes a little. Tears sprung to her eyes as soon as she saw it was her husband.

" M-Mark..." She tried to say, but her jaw hurt too much.

" Ssshhh. It's ok. I'm here."

" Girls..."

" They are fine. They are at my mom's house." He rubbed her hand with his thumb.

" S-Sniper. M-Mom's house. You...girls, d-danger." She tried to tell him that they were in danger. She didn't know that Munch and Fin caught the sniper.

" Hold on. I'll be right back, ok?" He kissed her hand. Olivia nodded.

Mark went out and called Cragen.

" Cragen."

" Don, it's me. Olivia was trying to tell me that me and the girls are in danger. She said something about a sniper."

" Yeah. We didn't know that Andrew had a sniper, but we have both of them in custody. So don't worry. Good thing we got to them in time."

" Ok, thanks." Mark said before hanging up. He went back into Olivia's room. She fell asleep. Mark went over to her and kissed her head before going back out. He found Elliot in a chair looking at everyone passing by. Mark sat by him.

" Is she ok?" Elliot asked.

" I was not prepared for what I saw. She was beaten really bad." He put his head in his hands. Elliot gave his shoulder a quick squeeze.

" She is a fighter. She will get through this." Elliot said reassuringly. Mark knew he was right.
