"Long sleeve, black shirts and cargo shorts." Brian stated, handing a stapled packet to Olivia in the boy's cabin. "It's what all the girls said he was wearing when he creeped them out."
Elliot gave Olivia a small smile. "We had each girl write down a description of the outfit and sign it. Kind of like a police statement."
Olivia flipped through the lined pages, a variety of handwriting stared back at her.
"Did we get what group these girls were from?" she asked, handing the packet to Alex, and pulling the NYPD sweatshirt she was wearing, over her head.
"All different groups," Brian Cassidy stated, "Several of the girls were really upset by him."
Alex chuckled, "We could get him on several counts of harassment as well as the rape charge then. We aren't letting this boy go, I want him taken down!"
Olivia stared Elliot down before shrugging softly. "I'll decoy!"
A mumble of agreement echoed through the room. Olivia simply held Elliot's gaze. Standing slowly she walked out of the cabin, fully aware that Elliot was following her closely. She ran a shaking hand through her luxurious hair and adjusted her black wife beater that she had stolen from Fin a few years before.
"Liv," Elliot gently took a hold of her wrist and pulled her back to him. Olivia stared at his chest, refusing to meet his eyes. "Look at me!" he slipped his finger under her chin and tilted her face up to look at him.
Her glare matched his perfectly.
"You are a gorgeous girl! What if this freak comes after you next? What if you get hurt?" Elliot was genuinely concerned.
"That's kind of the point El!" Olivia stated taking a step back from him. "I'm supposed to grab his attention!"
Elliot pulled her into a loose hug and tangled his fingers in her hair. "That's what I'm afraid of!" he whispered.
Olivia placed her arms around his neck and hugged him back tentatively before pulling away from him. Elliot casually plucked a small columbine flower from the grass and handed it to Olivia.
"Don't get hurt partner, I would never stop blaming myself!" turning, Elliot jogged away, leaving Olivia standing there speechless.

"I hate fire!" Casey grumbled pulling her burnt marshmallow from the end of her long, roasting stick. "It's hot!"
Fin gave her an incredulous look before pinching the burnt lump from her hand and popped it into his mouth. "No Shit Sherlock!" he sneered jovially before setting his own marshmallow ablaze. Olivia chuckled and spit of the small ball of fire Fin was staring at and it fizzled out. Smiling, Fin plucked the charred morsel into his fingers and ate it.
"You on duty?" Brian asked, taking a seat on the log Olivia was sitting on.
"You wouldn't catch me dead in these clothes for any other reason!" She replied, motioning to the tiny denim skirt she was wearing and the pink, halter belly shirt that she had borrowed from Kathy.
"Tall boy on your right has had his eyes on you the whole time we've been out here." Brian nodded in the blonde boy's direction. Olivia made a show of flipping her hair and stretching her arms above her head.
"His name's Jordan! He asked me out our second day here!"
Brian chuckled, "He's staring. Keep up the good work, he's wearing long sleeves."
Olivia nodded and stood up, smoothing her skirt out across her slim thighs and made eye contact with Jordan from across the camp fire. Jessica Stabler had changed the song playing on the sound system to something faster paced and Olivia grabbed Brian's hand.
"Dance with me!" she muttered, slowly peeling her gaze away from the blonde boy who was still staring.
Brian blushed darkly but nodded, fumbling to follow the girl's lead.
Olivia let the beat flow through her body and course through her soul. She didn't realize that she was thinking about Elliot until she caught the blue orbs in the dark night. Running a hand through her hair she sent him a 'come here' glance and smiled coyly at Brian before turning to wrap an arm around Elliot's neck when he approached her.
She could feel the sweat starting to gather on her tanned skin and she felt Elliot's hands find her waist. His head was leaning down over her shoulder, and Olivia found herself wishing that this was for real and not just part of the setup they had all planned.
She turned her head so that her lips were tantalizingly close to Elliot's and felt the muscles in his chest tense under his shirt. Olivia caught Jordan's eyes and licked her lips slowly.
Most of the counselors had retreated to their cabins. A senior from Philly had taken over the songs selections and it was getting later.
"You are not only killing that kid, but you are driving me out of my mind!" Elliot whispered, reigning in the urge to kiss her mouth.
"That's the point!" she whispered back and broke away from Elliot, grabbing Fin for a dance instead.
A few songs later, most of the guys had gone to grab some water. Alex and Casey were discussing possible charges for the bastard they were trying to find, Melinda Warner and Kathy were chatting about guys they liked and school work. Monique was chatting to a boy from another state.
"Want to dance?" the voice took Olivia by surprise and she tried not to jump a foot in the air.
Turning, she found herself face to face with the blonde boy that she had been making eyes at the whole night. She gave him a sweet smile.
"Glad you got my message!" she joked, allowing him to place his hands on her waist and gently sway them back and forth to the soft love song. "Jordan, right?" she crooned in his ear.
"But of course!" he chuckled and maneuvered them a little ways away from the fire until they were in shadow. "You are Olivia Benson!" he stated darkly. "I know you had fun that day after we met, in Munch's class."
Olivia pulled back abruptly, "How did you know that?" she whispered fiercely.
"I have my ways!" he chuckled again and managed to unnoticeably move them even farther away from the campfire.
"Are you like stalking me or something?" Olivia asked, remoiving his hands from her skin, "Because it's not funny! It's not funny at all!"
Jordan smirked sinisterly. "I never said it was! You broke my heart you pretty thing!"
Olivia swallowed hard, realizing with a start, that they were out of sight of the campfire.
"What are you saying?" she sassed, trying not to allow her fear to show.
Jordan chuckled again, "I had to take my mind off of you somehow. Melanie was just right, only she wasn't a virgin. I'm sure you are!"
"You sick freak!" she muttered, reaching out a hand to smack him hard, but Jordan caught her wrist firmly and twisted it behind her back. Placing a plam against her mouth he jerked her body back against his.
"Don't even think about trying to scream for help! It won't work Baby!"
Something inside Olivia snapped at that moment. Fin's calling her baby was annoying, Elliot's calling her baby was right, but this was repulsive. She was stronger than this. She wasn't going to end up like her mother. Raped, Drunk and with child.
Biting down on his hand, Olivia chose one word and screamed it at the top of her lungs.
"ELLIOT!"
