Dick Wolf owns SVU and Wes Craven owns Nightmare on Elm Street
Later that night
"Oh god, how could this of happened, I gave him the Hipnosil. Why him?" Cragen asked sadly as he paced in his office.
"I can't believe this, Fin had nothing to do with him!" Munch said angrily. They were both in Cragen's office waiting for Olivia to get released. Munch sighed then rubbed his temple
"tonight, she has to get the bastard out here tonight. She'll stay in for an hour if she has to, but this has got to end tonight. But why him though?" Munch said getting tears in his eyes again. "He had nothing to do with Kruger." Cragen scoffed before sitting back down at his desk
"you really think that son of a bitch cares if he anything to do with him? He knew Olivia, that's the only reason he needed."
"So your blaming her for all this?" Elliot said appearing in the doorway, obviously flat ass drunk. Cragen and Munch looked up at him as he swayed in the door way.
"I told you that you were on paid leave until further notice" Cragen said standing up.
"I don't care, one of my best friends just got killed and you two are sittin' here blaming Olivia" Elliot said with a drunken slur. Cragen sighed then went up to him
"go home, theres nothing that can be done right now?" Elliot scoffed
"Are you fucking kidding me? we can a list of people who have grudges against him, we should be out there looking for him instead of sitting on our ass's blaming the little" Elliot paused as if trying to find the right word to describe Olivia "bitch instead of finding him." Cragen went over to him angrily
"I don't care how drunk you are, but you will NOT call Olivia a bitch, is that understood?" Elliot scoffed before taking another drink from the bottle he had in his hand
"whatever, shes the one who broke up with me" he slurred. Cragen sighed before sitting back at his desk and putting hes head down. He knew it was a bad idea for his detectives to date.
"Why did she break up with you?" Elliot shrugged
"I don't know, because I said that the idea of her not sleeping is the cause of Fin's death insane and she took it the wrong way. I loved her, and she just threw it all away because she misunderstood me. How could she do that to me, I'm in love with her and she broke my heart." Cragen and Munch shared a look, they knew that if Olivia had slept, he would of gone after her instead of Fin. And Cragen knew that Olivia wouldn't want Elliot involved in this if he had any chance at getting killed. But Cragen had refused to tell Elliot about the case, even if he thought it would bring them back together.
"Look, just go home and sober up" Cragen said looking back at Elliot.
"I told you I'm not going home!" he yelled throwing the bottle against the wall. Olivia jumped a little from the door way, she had been standing there long enough to hear what he had said about being in love with her.
"Hi Elliot" she said softly, making the three of them turn there attention to her. Elliot gave her a glare as he struggled to stand up
"what do you want?" she walked in
"I came to say I'm sorry, but this was something I had to do" she said softly. He gave her a final glare before walking up to her
"whatever, you want to leave me fine, I really don't care anymore, I'm going home" he said angrily before staggering out. Olivia let a tear fall before Cragen went up and followed him
"where are you going?" he said a little nervously.
"I'm tired, you and Munch obviously aren't going to do anything for Fin, so I'm going home to sleep"
"no!" Cragen yelled at him. Elliot turned around and nearly fell when he did
"why the hell not, you said yourself, there's nothing we can do tonight, so why can't I sleep?"
"because if you do, I'll fire you" Cragen said trying to be strict but his voice shaky. Elliot scoffed then nearly fell as he walked over to him
"you know what, I really don't care if you fire me or not. Because you are just a stupid" he paused for a moment "a stupid bald man with a drinking problem."
"Say all you want about me Elliot, I'm still not letting you sleep."
"Then I say, fuck yo." But he didn't finish, because his eyes just glossed over and he passed out and fell to the floor.
"NO! Elliot wake up" Cragen said leaning down and shaking him, but he didn't respond. Olivia and Munch ran out of Cragen's office and Olivia ran over to him
"Elliot, no wake up, Elliot wake up. Elliot come on please wake up!" Olivia yelled at his passed out form, but he didn't respond.
"Go get some cold water now!" Cragen yelled at Munch through his tears. Munch ran over to the water cooler and quickly filled it up before running it back to them. He quickly splashed it on Elliot's face but to no avail.
"I'm sorry I had to do this" Olivia said as she slapped him as hard as she could, but he still reminded motionless.
"No! Elliot wake up, I love you, I'm sorry for breaking up with you, please wake up!" she screamed at him letting tears flow down her face.
"He's gonna kill me for this" Cragen said standing up and going over to him and lifting his foot over his midsection.
"Wait" Olivia said fearfully before Cragen could bring it down. They all looked at him for a moment before their eyes widened. His arms got pinned over his head and his shirt got ripped open.
"No, no, we have to get him out of there" Olivia said giving him a small shake.
"No wait" Cragen said placing a hand on her shoulder. They all stared at him before he started cutting his stomach.
"Oh god Elliot wake up!" Olivia yelled loudly getting tears in her eyes again
"no no, it's a message" Munch said looking at the cuts as they began to make words. The cutting finally stopped and they all got wide eyes as they read the message Kruger cut into him.
"If you want him back send me the bitch. If you don't I kill the pig" Munch read out loud in shock.
"We got to wake him up Olivia said wiping away her tears.
"Holy shit" Munch said in nervously as Elliot got flipped over and more cuts started to appear on his back.
"He stays with me until I fuck the whore. Oh yeah, Fin says's hi baby girl" Cragen read before looking over at Olivia. That was the nickname that Fin always called Olivia and he was the only one allowed to, even Elliot knew not to call her that. Olivia let out a sob before falling to the floor.
"Olivia" Cragen said gently going up to her "you don't have to do this, he's going to torture and kill you. You know he's not going to give up Elliot even if you do go to him. We'll get him back another way." Olivia looked up at Cragen and glared at him
"how can you say that? He has always been there for you, always! And your going to sentence him to death because you don't want to send me in there. How can you do that to him?" she said with tears falling heavily
"Your going to die Olivia, and then he will die, he's not going to give him back, no matter what he does to you. Do you want to die Olivia?" Cragen said back just as angrily with tears in his eyes.
"If it means saving him then yes, I love him Don. Can't you understand that I am willing to do whatever it takes to save him, even if I die trying? Please, let me do this." Cragen looked at her for a second before he nodded.
"Munch, help me bring Elliot to the crib." He said grabbing his feet. Munch nodded then grabbed his arms and they carried him to the crib and laid him down on one of the beds then turned to Olivia who had tears in her eyes. Cragen opened his mouth then closed it again, apparently lost at words. They looked at each other for a moment before they hugged.
"I want you back here safe, I love you Olivia, your like a daughter to me" he said through tears
"I love you too, your more a father to me then the actual guy" she said through tears. They released the hug then she turned towards Munch who didn't even bother to wipe away his tears.
"Your going to come back safe, who will protect me from Elliot when I tell my conspiracies" she let out a small laugh then released it then looked at the two of them.
"It'll be okay, I'll be okay. I promise you" she said lying on the bed.
"I know, be careful Liv" Cragen said wiping away more tears.
"I will, how much time do I have?"
"an hour, you should be able to grab him by then. Now remember, you have to be grabbing on to him and Elliot when you come back, other wise it won't work."" Olivia nodded then reached over and clasped Elliot's hand.
"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. And If I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take" she said gently before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Will they both die, will only one of then get out, will Kruger keep his promise? Review and find out :)
