A/n: continuation of Olivia's abduction by William Lewis. "Some scenes will be quite dark. Read at your own risk.
Okay this got out of hand... Damn I have to get out of this house right now, the cops have either already been called or will be called within the next five minutes. Lewis thought to himself as he quickly grabbed the comforter from Olivia and Elliot's bed as he wrapped Olivia up in it with her hands cuffed behind her back as he was relieved that the sleeping pill had knocked her out cold.
Okay now that she's secured what can I take? I can't take every thing need a gun, the blow torch, 1 needle, the heroine and the vodka.
But the Sudafed, I need that too...
He shook his head to himself "you can't take every thing William just buy more at another store, get out of here!" As with that resolve he picked the comforter up and stepped out of the house, stepping over Ryan's body in the process as he jogged away from the seen just as concerned neighbors approached the house.
Once he was a little ways down the street he flagged down a cab , appearing panicked "I-I need help! W-we need help m-my girlfriend's hurt!" Lewis said to the cab driver.
The driver nodded "of course sir, of course which hospital should I drive you guys to? I can call an ambulance."
Lewis shook his head "no hospital, no ambulance. I just need you to drive us to my friends place, she'll help her."
The driver shook his head skeptically "man I should really drive you guys to a hospital, here unwrap that comforter from her a bit she probably can't breathe like that," He said as he then caught a glimpse of her my god...,"
Lewis held the gun to his temple "you shouldn't have asked questions," he said as he shot him then stole the cab , leaving his body in the street as Olivia laid unconscious , gagged and bound on the back seat floor board "hey baby it's me, I'm on my way to you," Lewis said to a mystery person on the phone as he drove.
Elliot's cab, 7:15 PM.
Izzabella finished eating her lava cake with a smile as Elliot continued calling Olivia's phone every few minutes.
"Baby please, please answer me or call me back, I'm starting to get worried with every thing that's happened here lately. I love you, I hope your okay," he said as he hung up and sighed heavily.
"Man you really need to calm down your gonna give yourself a coronary," the driver said as Elliot glared "man you don't know anything about what's gone on in our family so I suggest you just keep out of it okay?"
The man just rolled his eyes and cont driving as he then checked the rearview mirror "damnit your kid got cake all over the seat."
Elliot glared at him harshly and got a wet wipe out of his bag and wiped it off "just do me a favor and turn the radio on would you?"
He sighed "whatever," he said as he turned it on "I can't wait till this fair is over," he mumbled under his breath as he entered the town of Queens.
"Woah daddy look!" Izzabella exclaimed as she pointed at several emergency vehicles as they all had their sirens on.
Elliot nodded "I see that baby that means there's an emergency nearby," he said as he dialed Olivia's number again and tried to hide the sinking feeling he had in his gut when there was no answer.
They drove a little further as when they approached the road to Elliot's house they found it blocked off with crime scene tape "this doesn't look good..." The cab driver mused as Elliot nodded "n-no it doesn't... w-we live down that way I need to get to my wife, now."
He nodded, and for the first time the entire ride showed him some sympathy "I'll try to get you there man."
Elliot nodded "thank you," he said as as the cab driver tried to drive forward he was pulled over by a uni "you can't go any further this area is a crime scene."
Elliot sighed and waved from the back seat "I'm former detective Elliot Stabler, Manhattan SVU. I need to get through me and my family live down the street and my wife is home."
The uniformed officer nodded his head, "which house is yours?"
It's the white 2story home with the trampoline out front, the address is 42-24 Mulberry drive."
The officer nodded "Mr. Stabler can you step out of the vehicle please? I need to speak with you away from your child."
Elliot's face paled "y-yes of course," he said as he stepped out as thankfully Izzabella was to enamored with the looks of the tape to notice Elliot's obvious distress.
"What's wrong, I-is Olivia alright? Is she hurt?" Elliot asked once he was out of Izzabella's hearing range.
The officer sighed "Mr. Stabler we didn't see your wife but your house is a crime scene too, we believe that it started there there was a young boy found barely alive on your porch beside the door to your home, he appeared to be around 11 years old."
"Oh god... a-and you didn't see Olivia? Did you check inside the house? T-that's where I thought she was gonna be she had some paperwork to wrap up at work then she was gonna start on dinner."
The officer nodded "we searched your entire house top to bottom, she was nowhere to be found but a good bit of your bedding was gone and all your drawers had been gone through. Someone had been in there and right now the running theory is that the person who ransacked your home and shot the boy on your porch is also the same person who killed that cab driver over there," he said pointing as ME Warner could be seen zipping up a body bag.
"But was Olivia home though? I-I need to know about my wife."
The officer sighed, obviously debating on if he should give him more info as Elliot was becoming more and more distraught as he desperately tried not to show it "god just please tell me every thing you know. I-I need to know if my wife's okay s-she hasn't answered my phone calls in an hour and a half."
The officer sighed "look I can't say for 100% certain yet because DNA results haven't come back yet but there is blood on your bed, there were bight marks on 1 of the pillows and the room smelled of burned flesh. Also a frying pan had been used recently it was still hot."
No, no no no h-he found her... H-he has her... I failed her I'm supposed to protect her and I didn't... My god I-I should have told Cragen myself... o-or told her to stay with us at the doctors office t-this wouldn't have happened if I had just kept her closer to me... Elliot thought to himself as his thoughts spiraled but he managed to keep his voice steady "it's William Lewis... William Lewis kidnapped my wife and shot that boy y-you need to call captain Cragen from Manhattan Special Victims right now."
"Mr. Stabler these crimes happened in our jurisdiction Queens homicide is more than capable of handling the murder case and once either 24 hours have passed or the DNA evidence confirms that a kidnapping has taken place missing persons will be contacted to help find your wife."
Elliot glared at him "what is your name officer?"
"I-it's Adams, officer Adams."
Elliot nodded "officer Adams do you know who my wife is?"
He shook his head "no I don't."
Elliot nodded "she's detective Olivia Benson-Stabler of the Manhattan special victims unit. Now do you understand why captain Cragen needs to be contacted immediately?"
Adams nodded "y-yes sir," he said as he quickly stepped away to make the call as Elliot let a few tears fall.
Once Elliot composed himself somewhat he slipped into the back of the cab "t-thank you for letting her sit in here with you while I handled that." Elliot said to the driver.
"It's not a problem sir I could tell it was an emergency," he said as Elliot just nodded grimly and looked to Izzabella "baby girl something's come up and your gonna need to go stay with Grandma B for a little while. You remember her right?"
Izzabella nodded slightly "mmhmm she's fun, her house has pretty colors and we all build sandcastles together."
Elliot plastered on a fake smile "that's right baby girl."
She smiled brightly "I bet me and you will make a really big sandcastle."
He sighed and shook his head "I can't stay your gonna have a sleepover with grandma B."
Izzabella frowned "b-but I've always slept in the house with you or mommy."
He nodded "I know you have baby, I know you have but you know how when you get sick you get all mine and mommy's attention? And we do every thing we can to help you feel better?"
She nodded "mmhmm."
Elliot managed a small smile which didn't quite reach his eyes as he gently rubbed her back "well somethings come up, something grownup that needs all of my attention right now... so I'm gonna need for you to stay with Grandma B while I take care of it okay? You'll have tuns of fun I promise I bet she'll let you build sandcastles for hours."
She smiled brightly and nodded her head "that sounds sooo fun! Can I call mommy first?"
Elliot shook his head slightly and managed to hide his sadness "she's on a case and I don't know how long she'll be, but I'll have her call you as soon as she's able to okay?"
Izzabella nodded with a bright smile and an innocent look in her eyes as Cragen and the entire SVU arrived on the scene as Cragen could be seen speaking to the lead detective and Fin and Amaro approached the cab.
"What happened man, do you know anything?" Fin asked him.
Elliot stepped out of the cab as Nick stayed with and distracted Izzabella "i-it was Lewis Fin... H-he took Olivia I know it in my bones."
Fin sighed "Elliot i donno man it would be sorta stupid for him to go after her, she doesn't live alone and he knows that are you sure it's him?"
Elliot nodded "I'm positive Fin, positive the ammo is really damn close to his , I saw him in the store the other day and she told me that while they were in the interrogation room he told her that she should be so lucky that someone does that to her! God Fin he threatened her! Threatened her and I did nothing to protect her! This is my fault!"
Fin's face visibly paled "oh god... This must be why she kept trying to talk to Cragen..."
Elliot nodded his head "h-how many damn times did she try? How many times did Cragen ignore her!"
Fin shook his head "Elliot don't go down that road, it wont help this isn't your fault, Cragen's fault or Olivia's fault. The only person to blame here if your hunch is right is William Lewis."
Elliot sighed with his arms crossed across his chest "y-your right Fin, your right... I-I just need to find her... t-to know that she's alright... p-please I need for 1 of you to take me to get a rental."
Fin shook his head "Elliot the best thing that you can do right now is take your daughter to a motel and keep her close. We'll call you right away if we find out anything about Olivia."
Elliot shook his head "your crazy if you think I'm not gonna be a part of this investigation Fin."
Fin sighed "it's not my call to make Elliot you know that. What happened to your truck anyway?"
He sighed "it broke down at Izzabella's doctors office Lewis probably caused that too."
Fin frowned "I doubt that Elliot and even if he did we're gonna have a hard time proving it."
Elliot just rolled his eyes "I know you think I'm crazy but I'm right, I've gotta be right," he said as he then headed back to the cab and handed the driver the money for the trip plus an extra 25 for sitting there for as long as he had as the cab driver thanked him then pulled away from the scene.
A couple minutes later Cragen walked over to Elliot and Fin "Elliot have you been inside your house yet?"
He shook his head "no I haven't captain I haven't been allowed passed this barrier yet."
Cragen nodded "we've gotta do something with your little girl I wanna tell you to take her away from here but I know that I'd just be wasting my breath and that your not leaving so what are we doing?"
Elliot sighed slightly "c-can Amaro keep her with him just until I've seen what happened? After that a rookie , somebody that wont be any help to you in finding Olivia can take me to the car rental place on 93rd street, I'll rent a car, drop Izzabella off with my mom then head back to the precinct to work the case."
Cragen took a deep breath "officially Elliot I'll say your no longer a detective with the NYPD so you can't work this case... but unofficially my answer to that is okay just stay out of our way, help where you can and let us run point."
Elliot sighed as his jaw was clenched "I'll try captain... I'll try but that's the best I can give you."
Cragen just nodded and sighed "fair enough," he said as him, Elliot, Fin, Munch and Rollins piled into his SUV as they made the short drive down the road and to their house.
The first thing that Elliot noticed when he got out of the SUV and walked up to the porch was the blood "please don't tell me that that's Liv's blood..."
Munch shook his head sympathetically at Elliot "it's most likely the young boys that was shot before Lewis fled."
Elliot nodded slightly "I hope to god that he'll be okay, he said as they stepped into the living room nothing really looks disturbed in here," Amanda said.
Fin nodded "she must have been caught by surprise, nothing else explains the lack of struggle."
She nodded "maybe, could she have let the perp in?"
Elliot shook his head adamantly "there's no way in hell that she'd let Lewis into our home willingly."
"And your 100% sure it was Lewis?"
Elliot sighed and nodded "yes detective Rollins as sure as I'm breathing."
She nodded her head to that as they moved further into the house "there are dirty dishes in the sink, are these yours Elliot?" Munch asked.
He shook his head "they're not I always put the dishes in the dish washer every time."
He nodded "then that means that somebody ate here recently."
A uni then piped up from the back of the room "is it possible that she staged all this?"
The whole SVU squad gave him looks as Elliot gave him a death glare "just here me out, maybe she had a problem with the boy, knew that Lewis was after her so she came into the house, ate a nice dinner then made the upstairs look like you guys had been broken into so she could shoot the boy and get away with it scot free?"
Elliot glared harshly and looked at his badge "you officer Rios need to go back to the academy!"
"Easy Elliot," Fin said trying to deescalate the situation as he then looked over at him "even if that was the case which it most definitely isn't.. That doesn't explain the blood found in the bedroom."
Rios sighed "she could have injured herself to make it look more real."
Elliot glared "I'm not listening to anymore of this!" he said as he went up to their bedroom to review the evidence in there.
"Don't worry Elliot none of us are buying into his theory.. You've gotta give him credit though the best cops are the ones who persist with their theories even when no one else believes them," Munch said.
Elliot sighed "if he wasn't accusing my wife of attempting to murder a little boy I might agree with you," he said as he focused on looking around the room "it looks like he turned this room over top to bottom.."
Munch nodded "yes he did, you should see this," he said as he picked up a metal hanger with his gloved hands and showed it to Elliot as their was blood on nearly half of it.
When Elliot saw it his face turned bright red as he strided quickly to the wall as he punched it hard with his fists several times as Munch and Cragen managed to pull him back but not before 3 good sized holes had been made "that animal!! That fucking animal has no soul!! When we find him I want five minutes alone with him captain!! Just five fucking minutes!! Maybe I should show this metal hanger to officer Rios! I bet he wont have the balls to say that Liv shot that kid then!!"
"Elliot, Elliot Elliot take some deep breaths... I think you've seen more than enough," Cragen said stepping in as he took Elliot's trembling arm "lets go to Izzabella's room, you can pack the stuff that she'll need for the stay at her grandmother's."
He nodded slightly as he was still trembling with rage "that's the thing captain Izzabella doesn't need to be with me right now, hell she can't be with me right now but I don't know if I trust my mother with her either... I mean when I was 7 she wrecked our car into a lamppost while chasing snowflakes and she's still not on any meds... I-I've gotta find Liv, god Liv needs me more right now but what if my mother lets Izzabella get hurt?"
Cragen sighed as it took every thing in him to restrain himself from rubbing Elliot's back or giving him some kind of physical comfort "Elliot I wish there was something I could do... and your right your daughter would probably be afraid of your temper right now even if you weren't gonna be actively looking for Olivia... You've just gotta hope that things will work out, maybe talk to your mother on the drive over? And it's not winter so there aren't any snowflakes out for her to chase."
He nodded slightly "g-good point captain, good point t-thank you," he said as he quickly packed a bag with some of Izzabella's favorite toys and clothes.
"Are we ready to go Elliot?" Cragen asked after a couple minutes.
Elliot nodded slightly "y-yeah , which officer do I need to look for to take us?"
Cragen thought for a moment "I think I might have Rios drive you guys he obviously isn't any help here."
Elliot managed a small chuckle "are you sure that you trust me not to punch him captain?"
Cragen smiled "if you want a ride you'll keep it in check, I'll see you back at the station," he said heading downstairs as Elliot followed him down there and was just in time to see CSU in their hall closet "what did you guys find?"
The tech sighed "urine stains, it seems like someone urinated in your closet multiple times."
Elliot nodded "do we know whose it is?"
The tech chuckled "I'd ask you that mr. Stabler has someone been in there with no access to the bathroom?"
Elliot shook his head "of course not," he said disdainfully "I'd run the DNA though, that could be a clue as to how Lewis hid in our home."
He nodded "that's what we're doing," he said as Elliot nodded then determinedly stepped away "Rios!" he called as the officer looked over "okay looks like your my ride to the rental car service but let me warn you I don't wanna here a peep out of you about how Olivia could have staged this herself. I don't wanna hear a peep from you about the case at all while my daughter is in the car are we clear?"
He nodded "crystal," he said as Elliot nodded his head satisfied as they headed to the police cruiser.
A/n2: Don't worry I haven't forgotten about Olivia in all this, next chapter will focus on her ordeal more. My goal is to have her rescued by either the end of next chapter or somewhere in 15 but I'm writing as I go so who knows right? Until next time every one.
