Fin was filling Cargen in on the finer points of their rescue. They knew he wouldn't mind but felt that they had to tell him. They knew he trusted them to do the right thing. Elliot sat watching Munch and thinking hard. They had another 5 minutes of tense driving before they reached the apartment. A deep frown crossed his forehead. Munch caught his look in the rear view mirror.

"We're going to get her." Munch simply said, to try and reassure him. He knew he and Olivia were the best of friends outside of work and that they were the closest partners he'd ever seen.

"I know." Elliot answered. A beat passed before he started again. "Why didn't you recognise this girl?"

Fin looked over at Munch, he too had been thinking it.

"Sanndie Jane was a beautiful, confident, curvy brunette girl. Someone who lightened the entire room when she walked in to it. Even with what happened to her sister, she remained strong for her, determined… Jennifer was weak and skeletal. Her hair greasy and dank, I mean you saw her El' could you imagine seeing the girl as we first met her?" Munch muttered. Truth was he felt guilty and responsible for everything that was happening. If he'd only recognised her. "They're like two different people."

Elliot noticed the guilt in his voice and felt terrible. He knew that it must be terrible for Munch, he knew Munch thought he should have recognised her but he didn't, and he knew Munch must be blaming himself for what was happening. Munch pulled the car over outside the tall apartment block.

Olivia's eyes flicked to the clock for the twentieth time. It had been 10 minutes. 10 minutes of pure hell. The hope that help was on its way was constantly quashed by the snide remarks from Sanndie/Jennifer, and the leering looks and 'gentle' touches by Cooper. She knew she had to act now.

She made herself gag. Feeling her whole body convulse and her eyes water at the action it caused. Her face turning red from the strain. Her captors looked at her in mild surprise and shock. She continued forcing herself to gag. Her throat was starting to hurt and tears were streaming down her face. She spluttered coughs out. Carl ran over and grabbed her shoulders.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jennifer shouted over the noise Olivia was making. "Let the stupid, bitch die." Carl's eyes flashed with venom.

"Pleas ...help …need…to…be…. siock…please….bathroom…" Olivia spluttered.

"Take her to the bathroom. You sort her out and then you bring her back. DON'T YOU DARE ARGUE WITH ME." Carl bellowed.

For the first time Jennifer was scared. She ran over and partially dragged Olivia to the bathroom. Olivia clung to the toilet seat and tried to 'get it up', her ears listening out for the tell tale signs that Munch was here.

Munch, Elliot and Fin climbed the now overly familiar stairs to 23A, weapons out of their holsters. They crept silently down the dim hallway, adrenalin coursing through their bodies, each of them silently praying Olivia was in the bathroom. Munch motioned they were to move on a count of three. 1……2……3

The 5 minutes felt like an age. Olivia tried to concentrate on saving herself and preparing to keep Jennifer/Sanndie under control. She felt a loud crash as she heard the door tear from its hinges, and the familiar voices as her colleagues and friends shouted.

"CARL COOPER YOUR UNDER ARREST FOR THE RAPE OF RACHEL TOWNSEND AND...!"

Olivia grabbed Jennifer in a split second of the door being torn down. Grabbed her right arm pulling it up her back and pushing her into the door. Jennifer fought as best she could, but Olivia was strong, fuelled by the desire of justice and adrenalin and the hope of coming out of this alive.

"Your under arrest." She whispered in her ear.

She heard the loud explosion of gunfire and a couple of screams. Her eyes went wide.

"Olivia," she heard the familiar voice of her partner Elliot calling her and relief flooded her body. Tears trickled down her face as mind realised that she was safe and she left the bathroom, pushing Jennifer out. Fin ran over to her and slapped handcuffs on Jennifer. Olivia looked around the room. Carl was on the floor handcuffs on his wrists, blood pouring from a wound in his leg, his howls filled the room. Jennifer/ Sanndie laughed in between hysterical sobs at the mess.

"Couldn't kill him. Wanted him to do his time…" she heard someone explain. She looked up and smiled faintly. Elliot and Fin walked Carl and Jennifer/Sanndie out.She looked up at Munch. He was watching her.

"Come on. We need to get you to the hospital." He said warmly, walking over putting his arm round her shoulders. She nodded passively and let him lead her out.

"Then can we go to dinner?" she asked. He looked down at his friend and smiled.

"Yeah. Then we can go to dinner…"
