Everyone was having a great time. Laughing, eating, and hanging out. Stabler's kids really liked Benson, and she adored them. Benson got up to go buy another drink as Stabler helped with the twins. She stood in the line, she couldn't but smile as she looked over at the group. But soon her smile left, she realized she wasn't part of that group-that family. She wasn't a family member, she wasn't a close friend- she hadn't been invited to any of their get-togethers or parties. So who was she? And what was she doing there? When she looked at the group laughing, eating, and hanging out like she was there still she realized what she was to the family, to Elliot. She threw her empty cup in the trash and walked away. She didn't mean to get depressed like this, she just wanted more from life. She wanted things that she shouldn't want. Like Elliot, like a family, like love. She walked down the same path her and Stabler had only a few hours ago. She walked down the path to the bench they had sat at. She took in a couple deep breaths as she felt the tears coming. She tried her best not to cry. But luckily, and not so lucky for her, she didn't have a chance to. Two men grabbed her from behind and pulled her into the bush.

Benson kicked and elbowed and fought as hard as she could. But, these were two big men, big strong men, she was up against. Finally they got a hold of her and tied her hands and feet. One of the men put a blindfold around her eyes as the other man kept watch. When no one was around and the two men carried her to their car and threw her in the trunk. And then they drove off. Olivia was gone just like that.

It took Stabler a few minutes to realize Benson was gone. He frowned when he didn't see her, and stood when he didn't see her around any where.

"Does any one know where Olivia went?" he asked and Maureen spoke up.

"Yeah, she went to go buy another drink" she pointed in the direction Benson had gone off at.

An hour later Kathy had taken all the kids home and Cragen along with a force of cops came out to the zoo. Stabler was waiting for Cragen and the teams in the security center as he watched videos of the park.

"Any sign of her?" Cragen asked.

"No, not yet" Stabler turned away disappointed in himself, as Cragen sat in a chair to watch the videos.

"I let her out of my sight" Stabler spoke quietly. He was so worried. He had promised not to let anything happen to her.

"Elliot. You messed up- but stop feeling sorry for yourself and help us find her" Cragen demanded as he turned back to the videos. Stabler nodded as he put his mean face on.

"I promised her she wouldn't get hurt- and she's not going to" He leaned in close to the screen to watch the videos too. They spent at least another half hour in the security center, when Stabler finally caught something.

"Wait" he shouted as the man playing the videos rewound it a little.

"That's her" Stabler said as Cragen got up.

"Good work" he said as he went out to inform the other cops of where she was last seen. Stabler continued to watch. He could tell she was upset. But he didn't know why. He watched her on the video when the man stopped it.

"That's all that's left on that tape" he said as Stabler watched the frozen image of Benson being carried away, frozen himself.

Meanwhile

Benson was screaming as loud as she could.

"Doesn't she shut up?" one of the men grunted to the other.

"Apparently not."

"She's going to keep screaming if we don't do something" the other man complained again.

"Ok, ok." The main guy said as he pulled over into a small alley. The other guy jumped out of the car quickly and went around to the trunk. Benson looked up at him as he pulled out tape from his back pocket.

"Don't touch me" she glared.

"Shut up" he whined as he ripped off a piece of the duct tape.

"I said don't touch me" she backed up a little.

"Ok" he said and started to turn to leave, when he twisted back around again quickly. He startled her as he held her neck tightly. She was choking and gripped his wrists trying to pull him away.

"Put the tape on ok?" the man said meanly. She nodded as he let go of her. She gasped for air when he threw her the tape.

"Put it on" he grumbled and she did so.

"Lay down" he said and she laid down. After he closed the trunk she realized what she just let herself do. All he did was threaten her some, and she just followed his orders. She started yelling and screaming again and the man rolled his eyes as he got back in the car.

"Oh forget it" he sighed as his partner floored the petal. Benson wasn't expecting the car to go that fast and was tossed against the side of the trunk. Her head was killing her and she started to feel faint. At least she wouldn't make a lot of noise for the rest of the trip.

It wasn't long when the car stopped. One of the men carried Benson into the warehouse where they had planned to meet the girl. Benson woke up after an hour or so, now tied to a chair. She couldn't budge. She tried to look around, but there wasn't much to see, it was a small room, plain walls, no furniture. She started shaking in her chair- trying to get the ropes loose when she stopped, out of breath.

"Believe me, it's no use" a young girl's voice came from behind Benson.

"Even the best of criminals couldn't break out of that rope". Benson tried to turn around but the girl got up on her own and stood in front of Benson.

"You" Benson muttered and the girl smiled.
