New York City Hotel

Olivia moaned in protest before turning onto her stomach as Elliot slipped from their bed. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before walking to the bathroom. Elliot stood in front of the mirror naked running a hand down his unshaven face. He looked old and weary neither one of them had getting much sleep since this Henson thing began. He sighed turning off the bathroom light heading for the warmth of the bed and Olivia. He looked over at his phone resting on the hotel table. He walked over to check it seeing the message envelope. He clicked on it.

Detectives, you want your friend come and get him. Alone.

Attached was an address. Elliot quickly dialed Fin.

"Fin, we got an address. I need you to run it." Elliot said when Fin answered the phone.

"You got an address? Who in the hell gave you an address? An address to what?"

"Matthew Henson. It says to come alone if we want George. I don't know that is why I need you to run it."

"This has got to be a trap."

"Probably, this is why we are going to check it out first."

Fin entered the information into the computer. "It is an abandoned warehouse. We'll send a unit over to check it out?"

"Okay."

"I'll call you back when they check in, El."

"Okay."

Elliot clicked the phone closed only to see Munch's number flash across the screen.

"Munch?" Elliot asked as he answered the phone.

"I came across something weird, El. Frank, that guy that you and Liv went to see in Virginia apparently owns an old farm house just outside the city."

"And that is weird because?" Elliot asked.

"The lease says Frank but the signature on the lease matches Henson's. I compared it twice. The other person on the lease is Lila, Frank's daughter."

"What's the address?"

"You're not going alone?"

"No, I am just going to check it out Munch. It could be nothing."

Munch sighed as he gave Elliot the address. He hung up the phone and waited for Fin to return from Cragen's office so they could back up Elliot.

Olivia sat up in the bed holding the sheet around her naked body hearing Elliot dressing. "Where are you going?"

"I am going to check out a lead, Liv. I will let the uniform downstairs come up so he can sit outside your door." Elliot said as bent over pulling on his shoes.

"Like hell." Olivia threw back the covers and walked over to her bag pulling out clothes.

"No way, Liv." Elliot said.

"Either I go with you or I follow you. Which do you prefer?"

"Liv."

"We are a team you and I, Elliot. Benson and Stabler. You don't get to negate that in order to protect me."

Elliot sighed. "Okay."

"Is it a good lead?" Olivia asked hopefully.

"I don't know." Elliot said honestly. "It could be nothing or something. I fill you in on the drive there."

Olivia grabbed her coat and followed out the door.

Olivia and Elliot arrived at the farm house about an hour later. They drove and parked just outside the long gravel driveway. They both decided to walk up just in case they needed the advantage of surprise. They walked through the woods that lined the gravel driveway cutting across the side of the yard coming up on the back door. They knocked but heard nothing. Elliot turned the knob slightly surprised that it was unlocked. He pushed the door open just slightly. "Anyone home?"

There was no answer only their footsteps amidst the silence. They exchanged a look before proceeding into the living room. They moved slowly through the house's first floor stopping last in the kitchen. Olivia's eyes immediately went to the door in the back. She nodded at Elliot slowly opening it. There was only a distant light in the darkness below. Elliot turned on his pocket flashlight stepping down first his hand on the wall as he descended the narrow staircase. Olivia behind him was stepping just as carefully on the steep staircase. They reached the bottom which went in two directions. Olivia pointed to her right.

"We are not separating, Olivia." Elliot said.

"We will cover more territory. If George is down here we have find him." Olivia said making a decision and taking the hall to the right.

Elliot cursed under his breath before going to the left.

Olivia found a heavy door concrete door at the end of the hall. It wasn't locked which surprised her and had her thinking either somebody left the house in a hurry or with a plan of coming back soon. The overwhelming stench of the room took her breath away it smelled of blood and something else. A low hanging dim light was the only source of light in the room. Olivia sucked in her breath her eyes taking in the sight of George Huang naked, bloody, and bald lying listlessly in a cage in the corner of the room. Olivia ran over to him taking the lock in her hands and lock turning it over. "George! George, its Liv. I am right here we are going to get you out of here. Elliot!" Olivia was so busy with the lock on George's cage she never heard Matthew Henson enter the room. All she heard was the resounding slamming of the door separating her from freedom.

Across town the unit Fin sent to the address given to them by Matthew Henson, had just entered the building when it blew up.

A/N: Next up what happens to George, Olivia, and Elliot will they get out.
