Six: Chapter 2

R&R: Rest and Retribution

A/N: Olivia was dating Andy Ackerson...remember him? Anyway, there is still no romance although it may sound like there is to some. All it is is Elliot being there for Olivia to comfort her AS A FRIEND. I have written up to chapter 4 but I was rereading chapters 3 and 4 and realized a major glitch in my story line and am still re-editing it so it may take a while. But, meanwhile, read this and enjoy. Didn't think I would get so many reviews for the first chapter, I'm really shocked and amazed...Thanks to all who reviewed and continue reviewing please! enough of my rambling, read the story.

Olivia's Apartment

Nov. 28, 2003

9:10 p.m.

"Thanks for the lift Elliot, I'll see you tommorrow." Olivia told Elliot after stepping out of the car.

"Liv wait."

"What is it? I'm kind of tired, I haven't been getting much sleep since Andy's..." Oliva's voice quieted down as soon as she spoke his name. He had been dead for a month now but Olivia still didn't feel comfortable speaking his name. Andy was murdered while following a high profile case and the killer was still not found.

"I know and I kind of wanted to talk to you about that."

"Look, I am glad your concerened. Really I am. but I really am alright almost. I am learning how to cope with it." Liv lied to him.

"Yeah I know Liv, but look, just indulge me please." A few more minutes passed before Liv answered.

"It is kind of cold out here...come on in." When they reached her apartment they found an envelope. Taking it off the door she read her name in the center. It was typed. she opened it.

"What does it say?"

"Let's go inside first." Olivia opened the door and they sat down.

"Alright, it says: Hello Olivia, its so nice to finally write to you. You can't imagine how often I dreamed of meeting you. Guess I will have to wait a few more days. Having sex with my three beautiful specimens was so good. While doing them I thought of you. But I know it won't compare to the real thing. I bet your trying ot figure out who I am. You and all your detective friends. How is detective Stabler? He would be good for you. At least better than Andy. I wasn't too fond of him and after all family has to look after one another. -T.B " After reading the letter she just looked up in a sort of defeat. "Oh my God, Elliot. This means whoever this is, this bastard killed Andy. And what did he mean by 'family has to look after one another'?"

"Don't worry Liv, we will catch him, right now your safe but tommorrow you should stay with me. Please?"

"Alright." Her agreement shocked Elliot but he knew that she was lonely and depressed just like he was after Kathyhad left. Except worse. Olivia had been there for him in his time of need and now it was his trn to help her.

"Let's worry about the note tomorrow, you haven't said a word about what happened to Andy or anything outside of work for that matter. Just talk to me Liv, I'm here for you." She was expecting this and she had to let someone in.

"I know you are...after he was pronounced dead, I didn't know what I would do. I loved him so much, I still do. He was everything to me and I kept wondering what hte hell I did to deserve such a great person. Since we were together I don't remember myself being so happy. When Andy first asked me out, I said no because I didn't want to worry about finding him in a body bag cause of the way he lived. Don't know what changed my mind but I knew I was right...damn." Liv sniffled.

"C'mere Liv." Elliot held Olivia. "You can't choose who you fall in love with Olivia. What you and Andy had was real, and yeah it was short but I know you don't have any regrets from your relationship with him."

"You right, no regrets. I just don't know how long its going to take for me to get over him."

"You may never get over him, but you don't have to, all you have to do is learn how to move on."

"Andy taught me how to love again and he showed me things about myself I never knew before. I remember when he came to New York at first to work a case with SVU. that was just before we dated. I was so mad at him for calling me a babysitter that just held victims hands. But he was right, I am amongst other things."

"And that is what makes you such a great cop Olivia. You can connect with the victims and bring the perps to justice. Now we both know that Goren and Eames will find Andy's killer, they rarely ever lose a perp. Now lets get some sleep before tommorrow. Do you feel any better?"

"Yes, and thanks for the talk, I didn't know how much I really needed it." The two partners fell asleep on the couch oblivious to the sounds of the city.

SVU Precient

7:00 A.M.

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler walked into work greeting their colleagues. They had already dropped off the note involving Andy Ackerson to Homocide unit. Olivia stepped up to the bulleting board once again.

"Hope everyone got a good sleep last night because today is gonna be a long one. Now in my mail at work this morning, I found a tape from our perp. So Munch, could you please roll the t.v. over here...Thank you. Now I haven't seen it yet so watch closely everybody." Olivia popped the tape into the VCR and pushed play.

On the tape all ws dark except for a barely visable outline of a man's body. His face was covered with a porecelain white mask with red lips. He began speaking. "Hello Oliva. I have been waiting to talk to you. Can't wait to do it in person. Anyway, isn't it a blessing to come from a true mother. Its sick how priveledged people like you are. You can hold such a prescence among men. Bend them to your will, break them against your will you take so much for granted when all can be whisked away in a matter of minutes. You believe men should bow to you because of the false beauty that you hold. Well, you will soon know that beauty is a curse on the world. In a world where brawn outweighs brains the world will soon be placed in its rightful order. Take care Olivia." He spoke in such a smug way with a slightly muggled voice. The video ended.

"Ok...this guy could definetely use the insanity plea." Fin gave life to everyone's thoughts.

"Yeah, but what I don't get is why he believes I think I use any kind of sexuality I have to will men to do anything. Never thought I did unless I did it to him subconsciously."

"And you don't use it Olivia. But remember this guy feels betrayed and used by you. He feels that you took for granted your biological mother . He was probably adopted into a bad family. As for the connection I just don't see it yet." Huang analysed.

"Olivia, why don't you tell them of the note we found on your door last night?" Stabler suggested.

"What note?" Munch inquired.

"There was a note that was taped to my door. It mentioned a small reference to this case. It said: 'Hello Olivia, its so nice to finally write to you. You can't imagine how often I dreamed of meeting you. Guess I will have to wait a few more days. Having sex with my three beautiful specimens was so good. While doing them I thought of you. But I know ti won't compare to teh real thing. I bet you are trying to figure out who I am. You and all your detective friends. Ho is detective Stabler? He would be good for you. At least better than Andy. I wasn't too fond of him and afterall family has to look after one another'. And that is all he wrote. We gave the original note to Homocide to work on Andy's case."

Alright, I know its shorter than last chapter and I was going to add more but I decided to add it to the next chapter. The next chapters are crucial to my storyline and like I said, I am still editing. And I am making references to...something that some of you will know what or whom, I should say, that I am talking about but those of you who don't...well you soon will find out the big surprise soon. And in saying that...I guess it makes this story a cross over with...well your gonna have to guess on what it crosses over with and if you figure it out, keep reading cause I promise my story will turn out differently than expected. It even shocks me how well I am writting these next two chapters. So review please and keep reading! Thanks.
