Chapter 3

Olivia sat on the couch next to the man. It was obvious to her that he wanted more then just revenge on Elliot. He put his hand lightly on her knee, he gave her the creeps.

"Isn't this romantic" he smiled as he leaned in and kissed her neck lightly. She tried to move away from him best she could. She had duct tape over her mouth, but her hands and legs were free. He let his hands fall over her chest but before he could get any further there was a knock on the door. He sat up quickly.

"You say one word- and I'll kill him" He warned her before he ripped the duct tape off her mouth. He ran to her closet and left the door a jar. Olivia made her way to her door- it was Elliot.

"Elliot" she said. She was happy to see him but didn't like the fact that he was there.

"We need to talk" he said as he sat on her couch. She sat next to him as he took in a deep breath.

"Olivia…" he began.

"I don't think you should be here Elliot" she interrupted before he could barely get a word in.

"Olivia! We need to talk!" he was upset.

"No we don't. I'm getting an abortion and that's final" she said before a large wink. He frowned at her for a minute.

"Now I think you should leave" she tried to make signals with her eyes to tell him something was wrong. He was starting to catch on more and more.

"Why don't you come with me" he said a bit unsure.

"No" she said as she nodded.

"Yeah, come on" he said again knowing that for some reason he had to get her to come with him.

"No Elliot" she said again before another wink.

"Come on" he pulled her up off the couch by her wrist.

"Elliot…" she spoke sternly. A few times he thought she actually didn't want to go with him, but then he'd get another signal. He finally got her out of her apartment and down the hall. After they got into his car and drove away some Olivia let out a deep breath.

"What's going on?" Elliot asked as he turned to her best he could.

"I can't say" she told him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I can't say" she looked away.

"Olivia you can tell me anything, you know that"

"It's not that. If I say anything- it might cause something worse to happen" she sighed.

"Okay. So what do you want me to do?" he asked knowing something was defiantly wrong.

"Drop me off at a hotel. Get your kids and your wife and get out of your house as quick as you can" she told him. He frowned.

"You have to trust me" She told him as she put her hand on his knee gently. He knew she was serious. That this situation was serious. He nodded before he sped off to a hotel he was familiar with- he knew she would be safe there.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok?" Elliot asked as Olivia unbuckled.

"I'll be fine. I'm more worried about you" she said as she looked up at him. He frowned.

"Promise to get home quickly, and call him when you get some where safe" Olivia pleaded.

"Yeah" he told her. She nodded before she got out of the car. She rushed into the building, he could tell this was more serious then he thought. He drove fast to his home, calling police to get there for protection just in case.

"Protection against who Elliot?" Cragen asked over the phone.

"I don't know"

"Protection just in case of what?" Cragen asked another question.

"I don't know. Just trust me" Elliot told him as he hung up and sped faster. He finally got to his house and ran up the steps. He was putting his key in the door when he realized the door was open a crack. He frowned. He figured the kids could have been playing and didn't shut the door all the way or Kathy had taken the kids out and they forgot to lock the door. But no toys were outside and the car was in the driveway. He got out his gun and opened the door slowly.

"Kathy?" He called. He was turning the corner to face the kitchen when Kathy popped up. Elliot gasped.

"Elliot! What are you doing with that gun!" Kathy exclaimed.

"We talked about keeping that away when you were in the house!" she told him startled.

"I'm sorry" He said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Elliot what's gotten into you?" Kathy frowned pulling away.

"We got to get out of here"

"What?" Kathy frowned.

"We could be in danger. We got to go. Get the kids as fast as you can."

"Maureen took all of them to the mall, they left like fifteen minutes ago" Kathy frowned.

"What's gotten into you? Have you been drinking Elliot?" Kathy leaned in to smell him.

"What? No! We got to go, we could be in danger. I can't explain right now, let just go…"

"Kathy?" Elliot heard another voice.

"Kathy? What's taking so long?" Elliot frowned. He heard the voice coming from down the hall.

"Who is that?" Elliot asked. Kathy looked away. A man came out from the bedroom and over to Elliot and Kathy with no clothes on. Elliot got wide-eyed.

"Who's this?" the man asked Kathy.

"Who's this?" Elliot frowned. Kathy just stuttered.

"Who are you?" Elliot asked the nude man.

"I'm Kathy's boyfriend, Fred" he said leaning in and kissing Kathy passionately. Elliot took in a deep breath.

"What?" He asked firmly.

"Yeah, we been going for hours. So who is this guy anyway snicker-doodle?" Fred rubbed up behind Kathy. She couldn't help but smile but it soon left.

"This is my husband" Kathy told him and the man freezed.

"What?" he asked.

"Detective Elliot Stabler" Elliot said as the man's eyes grew wider.

"Detective? You cheated on your husband who's a detective!" the man asked Kathy.

"You told me you were divorced!"

"You told him we were divorced?" Elliot asked frowning, not so mad any more. Just hurt.

"I'm sorry both of you" Kathy told him getting upset.

"It's ok I forgive you" Fred said holding her in his arms. Elliot cracked his neck back and fourth a few times, like he was getting ready to fight him.

"Why don't you get out of here" Elliot kept his cool. The man nodded, afraid of Elliot. He dashed off to the bedroom to get changed. Elliot tilted his head looking at Kathy for answers.

"Why?" was all he wanted to know.

"Come on Elliot- its not like you hadn't thought about it either. We both know our marriage wasn't going to last much longer"

"That gives no right to cheat me" Elliot was quiet.

"Look me straight in the eye and tell me you haven't thought about another woman" Kathy raised her eyebrows waiting for his reply. He opened his mouth ready to say that he hadn't, but how true was that?

"…I never would have cheated on you" Elliot told her straight in the eyes. Kathy looked away as Fred came back out.

"I will be on my way, Kathy call me…. I mean once your divorced" Fred tried to cover up. He was heading out the door and Kathy and Elliot thought he had gone. Elliot was about to say something when Fred backed back up into the kitchen.

"What are you doing? I told you to get out of here" Elliot frowned.

"Dude" Fred said as Elliot turned to see a man with a machine gun in hand. Elliot got in cop mode and stood in front of Fred and Kathy.

"Hey what's going on?" Elliot asked.

"Sit down" The man said with no emotion.

"Sit on the couch" he told him as they did so.

"Just do what he says" Elliot told the other two. The man closed the two curtains over the windows that faced the front of the house. He then locked the door and put a chair under the knob just in case. Meanwhile Maureen and the rest of the kids were on their way home…
