Chapter Title: Last Chance

Disclaimer: I don't own SVU or Cold Case; I just like to play with them, that's all.

a/n: Sorry it took so long to update. My muse decided to take and Alaskan cruise with Kevin Brown. Fortunately, it is back and has left Kevin Brown to be eaten by polar bears...

"Liv, if you're in there, open up!" Elliot yelled in desperation, pounding on the door of Olivia's temporary residence. Turning to Cragen, he said, "I'm going in." He kicked the door of the room open, but Olivia was not inside. He began looking through her suitcase, dresser, everything, looking for signs that she had been there recently.

"Elliot," Cragen said quietly, trying to calm him down, "she's not here."

"She has to be, Cap. Why would she just leave like that?" Elliot said, his eyes full of hope.

"I don't know. Tom has his detectives looking for her, too," he replied. "We'll find her, Elliot."

Just as they were leaving the hotel, Cragen's cell phone rang.

"Cragen," he said, answering his call.

"Don, this is John," Stillman said. "Filiberto's last name isn't really Ferndez; it's Billiet."

"Billiet? Alright, thanks Tom," Cragen said. "We're on our way back. She's not here."

"Wait, Cap, did you say 'Billiet'?" Elliot asked, something clicking in his mind.

"Yeah, why, you know the name?" Don asked suspiciously.

"Hold on," Elliot said, reaching for his cell phone. He quickly hit #3 on his speed dial. "Hey, John, this is Elliot. Listen, I need you to check a name for me."

"Sure thing," John said.

"Okay, can you look up 'Filiberto Billiet'?" Elliot asks.

"Okay…" John said, his voice trailing off as he entered the name into the NYPD database. "Ah, here we go! He was arrested in connection to the Gaviria case. Why are you asking about him? And where the heck are you, by the way?" There was a slight tone of discontent in his voice.

"I'm in Philly. I'll explain later. But fax Billiet's rap sheet over to Philly PD. The number's probably somewhere in the file room." Elliot said, hurriedly. "Thanks, John. Bye."

"What was that about?" asked the captain as soon as Elliot had hung up.

"I knew I recognized that name from somewhere," Elliot said.

"What do you mean?" asked Don, still confused.

"Filiberto Billiet was arrested in connection to Gaviria's drug cartel," Elliot said, getting into the driver's side of the car.

"So you think he took Liv to get information out of her?" Don wondered.

"I think he was put into the Philly PD for some other reason, but when he found out she was NYPD, he jumped at the opportunity to please his boss," Elliot theorized.

"But what the hell is doing out of jail?" he asked.

"The DA cut him a deal in exchange for testifying against Gaviria. If they gave him time off for good behavior, he probably would've been release about two weeks ago," Elliot informed him.

"So he just went crawling back to his old buddies, got himself a fake ID, and became a double agent," Don said.

"And a kidnapper," Elliot added stiffly as they pulled into the parking lot of the homicide headquarters.

When they got inside, they were greeted by Detectives Will Jefferies and Nick Vera, as well as Billiet's rap sheet.

"We're trying to track his cell phone now. All department-issued phones have a GPS system in case of emergency. Hopefully, either he or Olivia has theirs with them," Will filled them in.

"I doubt she has hers," Lilly said, walking into the small office where they were currently talking. "All of Olivia's clothes, except for her undergarments, were at Filiberto's place."

"Damn it," Elliot said in a low voice, coming to the conclusion that Filiberto had also raped her. He grabbed his head with his hands and took a deep breath. "We have to get moving on this case. He'll kill her if he doesn't get the information he wants."

"You think he's looking for information?" Lilly asked, unaware of the connection between the SVU squad and Billiet.

The captain began to fill the Philly homicide unit in while Elliot looked over Filiberto's rap sheet, looking for anything that might help him find Liv. He had realized that he made a huge mistake by breaking up with her. After only ten minutes of reading, his cell phone rang.

"Stabler," he said, answering his phone.

"Ah, Elliot!" the person on the other end said. "I just thought you and Olivia should be able to say good-bye one last time."

"Who are you?" Elliot demanded. "I swear to God, if you hurt Liv…"

"Oh, me? I'm just a friend of Filiberto's, that's all," he said. "But if you're not going to be nice, I guess I should just let her go now." The line went dead.

"SHIT!" Elliot yelled, angry with himself.

"Who was that?" Cragen said, gesturing towards his cell phone.

"He said he was 'just a friend of Filiberto's.'" Elliot told him. "They're going to kill her, Cap. He said that he called so we could say good-bye."

"Now, was there anything distinct in the background?" Cragen asked him, attempting to remain calm.

"Wait a second, there was water in the background," Elliot said, realizing something. "Gaviria owned a house just outside the city, by the river. That's gotta be where she is!" He rushed out the door and to the car before anyone could stop him.

This was his last chance to be there for Olivia. And he wasn't going to let her die.
