Olivia arrived at the precinct at 7, Fin was looking through notes, Elliot wasn't there, and John had a little boy who looked like he was 3 sitting on his lap.
"what's with the kid Munch?" Olivia asked with a smirk.
"Amy Sullivan's, Elliot is talking to her now, you can go and see if you can get more" John replied while the kid was tugging on his tie.
"I thought your name was John?" the little boy said and looked at Munch.
"it is, Munch is my last name" John replied.
"why would your parents give you that name?" The kid teased and giggled.
"I wish I knew kid" John said as he pulled his tie out of the kid's hands since he was pulling it and not tugging anymore. Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes and went to the room where Elliot was talking to the victim.
"was their anything specific about him?" Elliot asked as Olivia entered the room, both Amy and Elliot looked up. "this is my partner Olivia Benson, you can talk to her if its more comfortable" Elliot said looking at the victim. Amy just nodded. He got up and left the room.
"hi, as my partner said I'm Olivia, was their anything specific you remember about the man that attacked you?" Olivia asked as she sat across their victim.
"um…he had pale blue eyes, they were icy blue"
"did he have any type of tattoos or anything like that?"
"yes he had a small black bat tattooed above his thumb" Amy said as she showed the place on her own hand.
"ok, can I get you anything?" Olivia asked while she wrote down the information trying to be as sensitive as she could.
"no thank you're partner already offered," Amy said with a small smirk.
Fin and Elliot were getting amusement from the kid who kept bothering John as Olivia talked to the victim. Olivia finally came out with the victim 15 minutes later.
"Matt lets go, sweetheart" Amy said as she picked up the boy from John's desk. "thank you for watching him" She said with a half smile at John.
"no problem, bye Matt" John replied.
"bye Munch" The boy said and started giggling at his name.
"thank you detectives" Amy said to everyone.
"no problem, we'll keep in touch with you" Elliot replied.
"ok, well goodbye" Amy said and left the squad room.
"so what she say?" Fin asked looking at Olivia.
"guy had pale blue eyes, and a small tattoo of a bat on his hand, he grabbed her by the waist first and then hit her over the head" Olivia said looking at her notes.
"if we only knew this before" john said.
"well excuse her for being unconscious" Olivia snapped back. Everyone gave her a surprising look and no one said anything. She could tell everyone was surprised by her tone she said nothing and went to get coffee. Elliot could tell something was wrong so he got up.
"you ok?" He asked in a low voice.
"yea I'm fine" She answered in a low voice and poured her coffee.
"I'm your partner I can tell when something is wrong, what's up?"
"nothing, everything is cool"
"you talk to Mark about it?" She just nodded and went to sit at her desk.
It was 3 in the afternoon Fin and Munch were out talking to witnesses, Elliot looking through the computer for the same MO as their perps.
"Hey captain," Olivia said as Cragen passed by her desk.
"yea?" he asked as he stopped and turned around.
"can I take lunch now I have to pick up James from Mark's sisters house and drive him to one of his friends for a sleepover?"
"yea sure go ahead"
"thanks" she said as she got up and got her jacket.
"when will you be back?" Elliot asked looking away from his computer and at her.
"in an hour or little bit later"
"ok, bye"
"bye" she replied and left the precinct.
Mark showed up at the precinct and brought her food since he knew she didn't get lunch cause she took her lunch brake to drive James.
"hey Marky" John said when he saw him come in.
"hey Johnny" Mark said with smirk.
"Olivia should be back soon, she went to drive James, what you up to?" Elliot asked as he got up and got coffee.
"nothing, came to bring her lunch since I know she didn't get lunch since she is driving James" Mark said as he sat down in Olivia's chair.
"isn't that sweet" John said teasing him.
"maybe if you did when you were married you would still be married" Mark said teasing him back.
"which time?" Fin added with a smirk. Everyone laughed except for John who just shrugged.
"John, Fin, CSU called they have something, go see" Cragen said as he came out of his office "Hey Mark" he said when he saw Mark sitting across Elliot.
"bye Marky" John said and left the precinct with Fin following him.
"I'm going to get something to eat, anybody want anything?" Cragen asked as he put on his jacket. Both guys shook their heads. "ok, bye" Cragen said and left the precinct.
"is it just me or has liv been acting really weird lately?" Elliot asked and looked up at Mark.
"no its not just you she has been acting really weird"
"what's wrong with her, she said she talked to you" Elliot said, Mark gave him a confused look.
Olivia was walking toward the squad room and she could hear Elliot 'she talked to you' she came inside the squad room and looked at her desk and saw Mark looking confused. She knew what they were talking about, and she knew she lied to both of the guys.
"hey liv" Elliot said looking up at her.
"hey guys" she said as she took of her coat, and was hoping Mark wouldn't tell Elliot that she said the same thing to him.
"hi honey" Mark said as she got up, he couldn't believe that she lied to both of them. Olivia could tell it in his eyes that he felt betrayed.
"what are you doing here?" Olivia asked looking at Mark.
"came to bring you food…um I have to go back to work, Il see you later" Mark said just starring at Olivia.
"bye, you keep her out of trouble ok?" Elliot said as he stood up and shook hands with Mark.
"Il try" Mark said shaking hands with Elliot and starring at Olivia, she starred at him. They both knew that the other one knew by the way they looked at each other. Mark left and went toward the elevators.
"Il be right back" Olivia said to Elliot and followed Mark. Elliot just nodded and sat back down at his desk.
"Mark, wait up" Olivia called after him. He stopped and turned around.
"yea?"
"I know you know…"
"forget it, you lied to me, I'm not going to have this conversation here" He interrupted her and said in a low voice trying not to yell since he was pissed.
"ok, um…" Olivia said not sure what to say she could tell he was angry since he hated it when people lied to him especially when it was family.
"Il see you later, enjoy your lunch" He said calmly and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. She said nothing and watched him get on the elevator.
"what happened?" Elliot asked as she came back in the squad room.
"nothing, just husband and wife stuff" Olivia said and sat down and got the lunch that Mark brought her.
"good or bad husband and wife stuff?" Elliot asked as he started typing on his computer.
"um…both" she said not knowing what to say.
"ok" Elliot said knowing not to push her to talk about it.
Olivia opened the bag and saw her favorite lunch in there, she felt like kicking herself for lying to her husband, he was always so good to her and their son and she was being completely unfair to him by not talking to him and lying to him.
She got home at 9, she knew Mark didn't get home until later on. She kept on thinking all day about what to say to him, she knew there was going to be yelling since James wasn't in the house and Mark never let an argument happen in front of him.
She sat down at the kitchen table and started thinking about all arguments they had, she realized that most of the time it was her fault for the fights and he always apologized for it, she knew he was right most of the time when they argued but he still apologized for it, but it wasn't going to happen tonight it was clearly her fault and she had to apologize for it.
She heard a noise in their bedroom, she knew that he never came in from the front door and not look around the house first, but maybe he was too angry at her that he went straight to their room.
"Mark?" she called out getting up from the chair. She went into their room, she saw the window was open and looked totally confused. She felt someone grab her and slam her against the wall.
She fell down put was still conscious she looked up and a man was standing over her, he sat on top of her and pinned down her arms. She couldn't move since he was too strong.
"so you're the bitch that's trying to arrest me" The man said in a very deep voice, she looked up into his eyes and saw pale blue.
"get off of me" She yelled through tears, all she wanted was to be in Mark's arm at that moment. She looked at the man's hand and saw the tattoo the victim described.
"baby don't you want to know how it happened to your victims" the man said and snickered, "now you will be one of the victims" the man said and ripped open her shirt, she kicked and screamed as hard as she could.
He grabbed her by the waist, she punched him as hard as she could when her hands were free, he started bleeding from the lip but just smiled and slapped her, and unbuttoned his jeans.
She went completely numb as she realized she was going to get raped and she couldn't do anything about it, since the man was way to strong for her. She heard three gunshots go off and she shook to each one of them. The man started bleeding from the mouth and collapsed on top of her. She saw Mark put his gun back in his holster and run over to her.
Mark took the man and pulled him off of her. She kept crying.
"did he hurt you?" Mark asked as he took off his blazer and covered her with it.
She just sat there crying and staring at the dead body in her bedroom.
"Olivia, listen to me, did he rape you?" Mark said putting his hands on her face so she would look at him.
"no he just slapped me" She finally choked out through the tears.
"ok, c'mon baby, lets get out of here" He said as he picked her up and carried her into the living room and placed her on the couch. He pulled out his cell phone.
"don't go" She said grabbing his hand.
"I'm not going anywhere, don't worry" He whispered as he sat down and hugged her and dialed a number. "hey Elliot its Mark, we have a problem…" Mark was talking as Olivia just held him and cried.
