"Stanley, Stanley!" Elliot yelled into the phone. "Bastard hung up!"
"Let's get a trace on that now. Call in a tech and find out where that call came from." Cragen said, barking out orders.
In within 10 minutes the tech guy, Arnold, arrived at the precinct. He had his laptop in tow, and was ready to figure out just where Olivia was.
He set up his tools, and ran the program that would tell him where Olivia was calling from.
"Cell phone is registered to a Stanley Regas." He said, reading information off of his screen.
"That's great, but where did she call from?" Elliot asked, growing impatient.
"Call was received form a cell tower just outside Little Italy. There is a 5 mile radius where she could be." Arnold answered.
"Okay, now Liv said that she was in a crappy neighborhood. How many crappy areas are in the radius?" Munch asked.
"Lucky for us, there are only two." Fin answered fingering the map.
""Fin, you and Munch take the one on the east side of the tower. Elliot and I will take the one on the west side." Cragen ordered. "Casey, can you get a warrant for every building in those areas?"
"I'm already on it." Casey said as she rushed out.
Without delay all the detectives grabbed their coats and headed out the door.
Elliot and Cragen pulled into their neighborhood trailed by a brigade of squad cars.
"There's gotta be 30 three story apartment buildings in this neighborhood." Elliot said as he emerged from the car. "She could be in any of these."
"So we check each one until we find her." Cragen said. "I want four cops per building. You check every room of every apartment!" He commanded. He was just as worried as everyone else. Olivia was like a daughter to him.
He and Elliot ran into the first on the street. "You two take the second floor, Detective Stabler and I will check the third. When you're done, mark it with a piece of yellow tape so we don't waste time re-checking cleared apartments." He ordered.
Elliot and Cragen ran up the stairs to the third floor. Elliot pounded on the first door.
"Police, open up!" He yelled through the door.
An elderly woman cracked the door.
"Mame, NYPD, we have a warrant to search you apartment, I need you open the door." Elliot told her.
The small women feebly opened her door and allowed Elliot in. He did a quick check of each room. "LIV!" He called into the air. When he was satisfied that she wasn't there, he left.
"He ran into Cragen in the hall. "That one's clear." Elliot said.
"Yeah, so is this one." Cragen answered.
They moved on to the next apartment, and continued like that until the entire floor had been cleared.
An hour later five buildings had been cleared.
"He could be doing God knows what to her, and where out here screwin around!" Elliot yelled.
"LIV!" He yelled into the air. "Olivia!"
In a room three floor above the ground Olivia slowly stirred from her drug induced sleep.
"LIV!" She heard from under her window. Her eyesight was fuzzy, and her head was spinning, but she knew that it was Elliot.
"Elliot, El, I'm up here!" She tired to yell, but her voice only came out in a whisper.
She knew that this was her last chance. She needed to let him know where she was. She tried to lift herself off the floor, but her arms and legs felt like lead.
She looked around her and discovered one of her shoes in reaching distance. She decided that it must have fallen off when Stanley was beating the crap out of her.
She used all her strength to grasp the shoe. Once she had it in her hands she threw it underhanded at the broken window. By sheer luck it sailed right through the window.
Back on the ground Elliot heard a thud behind him. He turned around and discovered what he knew was Olivia's shoe on the ground behind him. He picked it up, and looked towards the apartments around him.
"Olivia!" He called frantically.
"What's wrong Elliot?" Cragen asked noticing Elliot's sudden change in behavior.
"Her shoe." Elliot answered, holding it up so that his captain could see it.
"Are you sure it's hers?" Cragen asked.
"Positive. She always leaves them in front of the door when she gets home. I tell her that someone's gonna trip over them and break their neck, but you know how Liv is. I end up moving them almost every night." He smiled.
Cragen followed Elliot's gaze up to the buildings. He joined Elliot in calling her name.
"Liv, babe, if you can hear me throw something else! Tell us where you are!" Elliot called.
Olivia was out of breath form throwing her shoe out the window, but was determined to get help for herself, and Stanley's newest victim. She looked around the room again to try to find something else she could easily toss.
Then the bracelet Isabelle had made her came into her sights. She slowly slipped it off her wrist, and skillfully tossed it out the broken glass.
Elliot saw the small trinket come out of the window, and hit the ground with a small clink.
"It's hers." He said as he picked up the familiar gift.
"Let's go." Cragen called.
He, Elliot, and a fleet of cops rushed into the building Olivia was in, and up to the floor the bracelet had come form.
They had calculated what apartment the window belonged to, and Elliot broke down the door with ease.
"POLICE!" He yelled as she stormed into the apartment.
Cops filled the small home, and opened every door.
"We got a girl!" One of the uniforms yelled as he bashed down a door to discover Cindy. She had been tied to a bed like Olivia had been; only she was also blind folded and gagged. She was awake and was crying through her restraints.
"It's okay, we're the police." The young cop said as he undid her ropes.
Elliot brushed past the room to find his wife. He found a locked door at the end of the hall.
"I got a locked one." He called over his shoulder.
Two uniforms hurried over with a ramming device. With about three rams to the door, the hinges gave. The door fell in, and revealed Olivia's semi conscious form collapsed against a wall.
Elliot was the first on in. He knelt down next to Olivia, and took her hand in his.
Olivia opened her eyes a crack, and gave him weak smile.
"What took you so long?" She asked weakly through dry lips.
Elliot just smiled and shook his head.
"You are such a smart ass, you know that?" He asked.
"Yeah, but you love me despite of it." She answered.
"You're right, I do." Elliot answered.
Cragen was standing behind Elliot. He wanted to give him and Olivia a moment alone, but needed to know what had happened in the hour and a half before they got to her.
He knelt down next to Elliot.
"Liv, did Stanley give you anything?" He asked.
"Yeah, chloroform, after he beat the hell out of me." She answered.
"Okay, where is he?" He asked.
"He went to the market." Olivia answered. She was breathing hard because of the chloroform.
"How long ago?" Cragen asked.
"I don't know, I blacked out. Ah, I guess after he hung up with you guys." She answered weakly.
"Okay, we need to get you to a bus." Cragen concluded.
"I got her." Elliot volunteered. He scooped Olivia up with ease, and carried her down the stairs.
She rested her head against his chest, and let her eyes close, comfortable that she was finally safe.
As Elliot placed her on an awaiting stretch she asked, "What about the other girl? Is she alright?"
"She's fine." Elliot answered. "They loaded her into the other bus. She said he hadn't raped her." He was amazed that even after all that had happened Olivia's main concern was still the victim.
"Is Isabelle alright?" She asked.
"She's fine. I had Maureen pick her up from school. She has no idea what's going on." Elliot answered, smoothing Olivia's hair back. "Just relax."
Olivia laid her head back on the stretcher and let herself fall back into a light slumber.
As the ambulance screeched off, Cragen ordered the squad cars to be quickly removed. He wanted to catch Stanley as he came home.
The squad cars disappeared just as quickly as they had appeared. Cragen had only a few cops stay behind with him.
He called Munch and Fin form the room Olivia was being held in to let them know that Olivia was safe.
The cops heard Stanley's key in the lock of the front door. They heard the door open and him walk through t he apartment.
They heard him stop in his tracks when he saw the busted in door.
He turned on his heels to run out of the apartment, but was stopped by two uniform officers at this door. He twisted back around to come face to face with Cragen.
"Surprise." Cragen said in his face. "Sorry to spoil your evening."
"You've got noting on me." Stanley tried.
"You mean nothing besides the testimony of detective, a victim, and the entire SVU squad who will testify that you confessed to holding Detective Benson, over the phone?" Cragen asked cockily. "Turn around, you're under arrest." He said, cuffing Stanley.
