NOTE: for those of you wondering there's only one chapter to go after this.

Elliot was far away. He couldn't hear anything around him. Right now he was thinking about the first time they met. When she was assigned to be his partner. It was a good day, the best you could get at SVU.

***

Huang sat trying to explain what was going on with Elliot. He had a bunch of detectives breathing down his neck telling him to fix him. "He's in shock." Was all he could say. This brought a lot of anger from everyone. " He wouldn't snap out of it if we poured a ice cold bucket of water on him."

"How long will he be like this?" Cragen asked. This was important. Elliot had to wake up now. He was going to call back any minute.

"I don't know, this could last hours, days, months." This did not help him. "Lets hope he doesn't stay like this too long."

There was only one thing they could do. Have someone pretend to be Elliot.

~*~*~

Jake dialed the number.

"Stabler speaking," the voice on the other end said.

"Why couldn't you come to the phone before?"

The voice on the other end took a while to answer. "I left."

Something was wrong. The voice. He was not talking with Elliot Stabler. This was clearly a much older man. "I would like to speak with the real Elliot Stabler. Two pieces every fifteen minuets."

He hung up the phone. They were ruining everything. The point was to make Elliot suffer. Where was he?

~*~*~

It seemed the more they tried to help Olivia the worst the made it for her. They had no idea from where he was calling. The only person who could help Olivia was Elliot and he was somewhere else.

***

Not all his memories were pleasant. He remembered the first big argument they had. She was angry with him for more than a week. It was difficult one. He tired to explain to her that he only ordered the protective detail because he was worried that someone would try to hurt her but she wouldn't understand. It was then that he first became aware that he would do anything to keep her safe even if she didn't like it.

~*~*~

Olivia was now in her underwear and boots. The floor was cold. She was trying to be strong, hold back the tears but she knew it would come some sooner or later. She began to ask herself where was Elliot. Why was he taking so long to find her?

~*~*~

Elliot rememberd the first kiss they shared. It was just yesterday. Was that going to be the last day he saw her? He couldn't let that happen.

~*~*~

Huang still had his eyes on Elliot. He was lost, for good it seemed. Then out of the blue the just stood up.

Everyone looked his way, all afraid to say anything.

He had this look on his face that was unlike any they'd ever seen from him. He looked dangerous.

He went to his locker and took out his jacket and his gun. He made sure the gun was loaded and began to walk towards the exit. Fin and Munch followed him. Others tailed behind.

"Do you know where she is?" Munch asked.

"At her apartment."

"Are you sure," Fin asked.

He just nodded. It was difficult to explain but he could almost sense her. It was something they developed over the years. When they walked into a dangerous situation they'd always be able to tell where the other was without looking. This time it was stronger. He just knew that she had to be at her apartment. He knew she was scared, he knew that she was crying for him, he knew he had to get there to her.

~*~*~

Olivia was crying now. She gave up. She wanted Elliot to come and get her and he wasn't there. She didn't want what happened to her mother to happen to her.

Jake smiled at the fact that she was crying. This is what he wanted, to make her suffer. The more she suffered the more Elliot suffered. It was a simple game of revenge. The last call he made still produced no Elliot. Now he was going to have to take off the bra. He hated to have to destroy it because it was a nice bra.

He took the knife and cut the first strap. "Are you scared?" He asked her. This got whimpers for an answer.

He cut the other strap and pulled it off. "I wonder if Stabler got all of this. I mean you're his girl right."

Olivia decided it would be best if she closed her eyes. She couldn't stand his face.

~*~*~

They spilt up to look for her. More than ten officers were searching the building making as little noise as possible.

Elliot made his was down to the bottom floor. The same instinct he had earlier told him to go there. He walked pass the small room where maintenance guy lived and went down a few corridors and stopped at a door. He knew that was it. The door had no lock He pushed the door open slightly, making little or no noise at all.

He turned a few corners and came to an opening. There tied to pipe, crying, naked was Olivia. There was a man, in black leaning towards her.

Elliot made up his mind before he entered the room that he was going to kill the guy and at that moment he felt like it would be wrong if he didn't.

~*~*~

Olivia looked at the body fall in front of her. It was over. He was gone. Elliot went to her and untied her.

She almost felt embarrassed to have him see her they way she was but she was more relieved that he was there than anything.

Elliot wrapped his jacket around her. She was crying. He sat on the concrete floor and held her in his arms and stroked her hair gently. "It's okay," he said. "He can't hurt you anymore."

She remained there... crying.

NOTE: Okay, I hope this was okay. Please remember to review.
