Chapter 7

Nightmare

Meanwhile back in New York

"Okay people we need to find this guy. We still haven't found him since Olivia came back and we've had too many victims already. We have the public terrified and they are starting riots. We need to fix this before someone gets seriously hurt!" said Cragen.

"When is Elliot due back?" asked Fin.

"Him and Olivia are due back next Monday. Olivia is coming back with Elliot. And Brian Cassidy is also supposed to be transferring back. So, Drake you will be paired with Cassidy when he returns." Drake nodded and went back to work, with a smile on his face.

"Wait, I thought Cassidy couldn't take the cases." Said Fin. "Well, we wants to give it another go. And we need more detectives for this unit, so we can't be picky." Said Cragen.

"Elliot better be careful, Brian is going to move in on his girl." Whispered Munch to Fin. Fin chuckled. "Please like Stabler will ever give up Benson without a fight." He said with a laugh. Fin stopped when he saw Cragen looking at them both.

"Hey Cap can I make a phone call?" asked William. Cragen looked over at him. "Make it quick. Then get back to work."

Back in Jersey

Olivia and Elliot decided to go to the amusement parks on the pier. They had a lot of fun. Green eyes stared at the brunette and her fiancé.

"Yes sir. Will do. I'll get her back there tonight." They got back to the hotel room and stayed in. Around 10:30 Olivia wanted to go to the pool.

"El I'm heading to the pool." Elliot opened his eyes and looked at her. "Why are you going u there so late? Want me to come with you?" Olivia shook her head. "No, that's okay. I used to swim a lot while I was in hiding. I promise I won't be long. I'll be back before midnight."

Elliot sighed and nodded. "Okay love you." Olivia smiled. "Love you too." Olivia kissed him and then headed upstairs. She walked up the steps. She came up to a man in a black hoodie. "Excuse me miss."

Olivia turned around and looked at the man. "Yes?" she asked nicely. "Do you know where the rec room is?"

"This hotel doesn't have one. Try the one across the street." She said. "Thank you." Olivia nodded. She continued upstairs. She walked to the deck and she was about to put her bag on the chair. Suddenly she felt a hand go over her mouth. She could smell the chloroform and she fought trying not to breathe it.

"Hello Lily." Olivia's heart stopped then her world went black.

Elliot woke up and he looked around the hotel room. "Liv?" he called. No answer. He looked at the clock and it said was 12:30PM. "Liv!" Elliot yelled, looking through the room. He looked outside on the balcony. No sign of Olivia. He turned around and he called the kids. "Guys, have you seen Liv?" he asked. "No dad, not since this afternoon when you guys came to the amusement parks." Said Dickie. "You can't find her?" asked Lizzie, worriedly.

Elliot sighed. "I haven't seen her in a few hours. I fell asleep. I'll call you guys back." He hung up and he headed to the roof. He was getting extremely worried, so he made it to the pool and noticed that Olivia wasn't there.

He grabbed his phone and called Olivia. He heard it faintly and looked over and saw Olivia's purse laying on the chair. Then he saw a rag. He bent down, and he could smell that is was chloroform. Elliot's heart sped up.

He called Cragen. "Cap we have a problem. Olivia's been taken." Cragen told Elliot to wait there and they were on their way. Elliot dropped to his knees, he couldn't breathe. His Olivia was gone for the second time. He began to panic and called his kids and told them to come back to the hotel. They rushed back.

"Dad what's going on? Where's Olivia?" asked Maureen. She had never really seen her father so shaken and scared. "She's gone Mo." The kids looked at him in shock and worry.

"She's gone? What do you mean gone? Like she ran away gone?" asked Kathleen.

"No as in she was taken gone." Maureen dropped and began crying. Kathleen cried silently, putting her head on her father's shoulder, while Lizzie clutched to her father. Dickie sat down in shock.

"No not again. Olivia can't be taken from us again!" yelled Dickie in anger. He got up and started to pace. "Dickie calm down." Said Elliot, seeing his temper in the young boy.

"No! We can't lose Olivia again. Not again." Dickie clutched his darker blonde hair till his knuckles turned white and let out a sob. Elliot walked over and put his arm around his son.

"Don't worry we're going to find her. I refuse to let her be taken from me a second time. I will do anything to bring Olivia back you can count on that." Cragen and the others arrived and sealed of everything. "WWPD said that they will help us however they can. They want to help us find Olivia." Said Cragen.

Elliot didn't answer. He was just sitting there in shock. Fin walked over to Elliot and he put a gentle hand on his shoulder. Elliot looked up at his coworker. "How are you holding up Elliot?"

"How do you think Fin?! The woman I loved was taken from me again!" Elliot looked at the hurt look on Fin's face.

"I'm sorry for snapping. I just want to find her and make sure she's safe."

"I understand man. And you know what? None of us are going to stop till we bring baby girl home. You can count on that." Elliot nodded and went to work. He was in 'Detective Mode' his emotional walls were up. He was the Elliot that didn't show weakness or feeling.

His kids were unnerved by the Detective Stabler, not Elliot Stabler their father. He was scary when he showed no emotion in his face. Elliot faced his kids. "I want you all to stay here. I don't want you moving from this room. You understand?" he shot at them.

Maureen kept her arms around her younger sisters, trying to comfort them. Dickie sat in the corner, crying silently. "Yes dad. We'll stay right here." Said Maureen, quietly. Elliot nodded and walked out of the room, slamming it behind it, making all the kids jump.

"CSU is having a field day, there are more fingerprints in that stairwell then there are people here in the city. But we'll keep looking." Said Munch. Elliot nodded and went to work.

"Where's Drake?" asked Elliot, looking at his coworkers. "He left early today, saying that there was a family emergency…" trailed off Munch. Elliot picked up his head and looked at Munch. "What?" asked Elliot. He looked over and saw that Fin and Cragen had the same faces that Munch had.

"What!?" he demanded. "He said that he had a family emergency….in New Jersey." Said Fin. Elliot looked at Fin. "Wait," They looked over at Cragen. "Was it ever proven that the man responsible for killing Olivia ever caught?" asked Cragen.

Elliot looked at them. "Olivia told me that she was told that the killer was killed in an altercation, but they never found the body." Said Elliot. It clicked in Elliot's mind. "Oh, my God." Said Elliot, looking at the others.

Cragen put his head in his hand. "When I hired Drake, he always asked about Olivia. I always thought it was because that he respected and admired her." Said Cragen. "When we would talk about her, he would always call her anything but Detective Benson. Like he knew her." Said Elliot.

"We didn't just hire someone who was interested in Olivia…We hired her killer!" cried Elliot.
