The next day rolled around and the trio of Elliot, Fin and Munch rode the elevator up to the squad room.
As the coffee was made, and everyone started into the Captain's office for their morning conference, they all noted that Olivia wasn't present.
"Where is your partner Elliot?" Cragen asked as he shut the door behind Fin.
"Not sure Cap."
He looked at Elliot before moving back towards his desk, "Okay, Elliot you go give her a wake up call…"
Elliot walked out thinking of what could have happened, she was never late.
He reached for the phone, dialed her cell and all he got was her voice mail, and machine at home.
Worry was setting in.
Where was she?
Slowly Elliot sat down at his desk, Cragen came out looking for him, "Any news?"
"No, no answer anywhere."
"Fin, Munch, get out here."
"What's goin on Cap?"
"Olivia seems to be missing; you reach her voice mail on both her home and cell number."
"I will have a unit pass by her apartment, see if her car is there." Cragen said as he picked up the phone, "You three get over to her place."
Elliot took his own car, while Fin and Munch took theirs.
Elliot made it there first. By the time he name it there, his stomach was in knots, and his palms were sweating. He knew something was wrong, his gut was telling him it was the perp who they were after.
And now he had Olivia.
As he crossed the street the uniforms where outside her apartment building and Fin and Munch pulled up behind him.
"Detective, Detective Benson's car is still here, we went up to her apartment, her door was open, and her apartment ransacked."
The color must have drained from his face because he was asked if he was ok.
"What happened?" Munch asked.
"She's gone, that bastard took her."
Elliot stormed up the stairs to her apartment, and paused at the doorway.
When he walked in, her place was a mess, the chairs were over turned, paper strung through out the dining area and into the living room. There was blood on the entranceway leading into kitchen.
"Looks like she put up a hellva fight." Fin asked as he slowly made his way through the living room."
"I hate to see the other guy." Munch mumbled as he looked into the spare bedroom.
"Yeah." Was all Elliot said as he walked into her bedroom looking for anything that would give him a clue to what had happened.
He ran his hand along the closet door leading to her dresser. Looking in the mirror there what he saw scared him. He looked terrible, circles under his eyes, he looked pale.
Turning he looked at her bed, soft cotton sheets and a down comforter. It looked slept in and her nightstand draw was open, so she heard someone come into her apartment and went for her weapon.
And said weapon is missing.
Great.
Elliot made his way back out into the commotion; and asked "Okay so what do we have?"
"CSU is on their way, we have started to talk with the neighbors." He flipped through his notepad, "They all confirm being woken up around 2:30 this morning to shouting, and crashing sounds."
"I doubt CSU will find anything, this guy is prepared, he probably stalked her for a while before making his move." Dr. Wong said from behind them.
"So you think it's the same perp?"
"Yes, and from what I read in the file, we are looking for someone who likes to be alone, he most likely has a place in the woods somewhere, underground maybe, where he is keeping the victims."
"Call me if you come up with anything." Elliot said as he walked out and down the hallway.
"Well he took that well." Munch casually said as they followed him out.
When they arrived back at the station Cragen came out of his office, "What did you find?"
"The place was tossed, she wasn't there." Elliot replied as he sat down at his desk.

Olivia rolled over and quickly covered her eyes to the light. Moaning she tried to sit up, but the pain quickly made her lie back down.
"Open those beautiful eyes Detective Benson, or can I call you Olivia."
"Urgh, what did you give me?"
"Something strong enough to let me take you here," He paused and ran a finger down the side of her face. Cringing she tried to move away from his touch.
"You have quite a fighting spirit there Olivia."
She just looked at him, the best she could. Her eyesight was still very blurry, all she could make out was that he had a mask on to disguise his face.
"Sleep now my love, I will return for you."
Groaning Olivia did all she could to move far enough away and fall asleep.
A couple of hours later she woke with a start as hr captor was unlocking the door to her cell. Slowly she looked around, think wooden door with a small window, the walls looked dirty, and the floor was mud. "You are awake my lovely, and I brought you dinner."
"I don't want your food."
He got angry at this and shoved the tray at Olivia, "Listen there are some rules here. Eating is one, there is to be no talking, yelling is the other."
She looked at him, as if trying to think of a way to escape.
"I know about your training my dearest Olivia, and don't worry there is no way to escape here."
'There is always an escape route.' She thought to herself.
"Eat." He pushed the tray toward her once again, "I brought some clothes from your apartment. In an hour, I will be back, I want you dressed in this dress."
Olivia looked down at the dress, it was her blue evening dress that she bought on impulse a few weeks ago.
"I know you haven't worn this yet, I wonder who you bought it for, humm Olivia or should I call you Liv?"
The only one who calls her that is Elliot. How would he know…
"Ah you caught on to that didn't you. I have watched for a long time now my love, you are a most wonderful woman, that I plan on taking full advantage of." He said this as he ran his fingers through her hair and down her arms, implying what he was going to do to her later on.
Slowly she ate, her stomach still not agreeing with whatever he had given her, eyeing her dress, she didn't want to wear it at all, and especially for this man. Olivia had bought that dress a few weeks ago, thinking that she might wear it for the annual holiday party, but her and Elliot ended up working on a case all night and they never made it.
Elliot.
God what is he thinking right now?
By now, she knew that he had went to her place, saw the mess, saw the blood.
She knew he wouldn't stop until he found her, and she knew how this would tear him up inside.
With that Olivia put down the fork and took a deep breath knowing what was coming up next.
Soon there was a knock at her door, and she smoothed down the fabric of her dress, hands shaking, tears in her eyes.
As the door opened she held her breath, "Olivia my love you look beautiful tonight, come follow me."
"This is going to be the most magical night of your life."
