Chapter 9

Why does my heart cry for you?

Elliot and the squad, along with Porter return to New York and begin looking through file after file at the precinct to try and find a lead to where Olivia was being kept.

"Captain! I've got something!" Fin yelled.

"What have you got?"

"William Drake isn't his real name. It's Drake Harris. As in Lowell Harris." The squad got quiet.

"As in the bastard that attacked those women in Sealview?" asked Munch.

"The very one." said Fin. This angered him. That was the day that he regretted. He felt like he wasn't there for Olivia. Fin and Cragen were the only ones that knew what had happened to Olivia in that basement.

"So Harris has a son. A son that is willing to finish what his father started." said Munch. "But why be into human trafficking?" asked Elliot. "Because it gave Drake a way to beat up women. He's just like his father. He loves to beat and rape women." said Fin.

"That son of a bitch was sitting right across from me. The person that tried to murder Liv was with us the whole time! Why didn't I figure it out sooner?! I could have saved Olivia the nightmare that she's in now!" Elliot dropped his head to his desk in frustration.

Fin put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We'll find her El. Don't worry."

"It's not the point of finding her Fin. It's the condition she is found in. Liv may act tough but even she can break."

"And we aren't going to let it get that far El. We're going to find her ASAP." said Fin. Elliot nodded and went back to work.

Back in the Concrete Room

Olivia woke up again and this time she was laying on the bed tied to it. The duct tape was still over her mouth. Drake walked in. "Well hello, sleepy head. You have finally woken up. I think you're probably thirsty and hungry huh?"

Olivia laid there in silence. "Now that silence is going to get you in trouble, Miss Benson." Olivia rolled her eyes. Drake slapped Olivia across the face, the sound of the slap echoed along the room.

"You will not treat me with such disrespect Olivia. Maybe I should teach you some manners." Drake took out a knife and stabbed her in the knee. Olivia screamed in pain.

"Now whenever you don't be nice, you're going to be stabbed as punishment. Understood?" Olivia nodded.

"Now are you hungry and thirsty?" Olivia nodded.

"Good. Now I will get you some bread and water and then we can move on to other things." Drake ripped the duct tape from her mouth.

"You mean things that you will enjoy. Things that will torture me? That does sound like fun." Drake slapped her so hard that it split her lip. Olivia could taste the blood in her mouth. Drake pulled the knife across her arm, leaving a trail of blood.

"Remember honey you're in my house now. And you will not make it out of here alive. You will never see your beloved Elliot again."

"And the next time that Elliot sees you is when flies are flying over your rotting corpse. Tell me, Olivia, your fake death caused him severe pain. What do you think your real death would do to him? It really would destroy him."

"And then New York will have to bury a hero. A hero that saved so many lives and that put so many criminals behind bars. And there I will be standing above your grave laughing about how I killed you and destroyed so many lives with your death." He said tauntingly.

Olivia actually laughed. "Are you honestly stupid enough to think that the others won't catch you? I don't care that you kill me. I don't fear death. You can't scare me."

"The only thing that bugs me is that you would cause the squad a lot of pain. I could care less if you kill me. I'm not like your other victims. I won't beg for my life while you torture me."

Drake became angry. "You know, you're just a little too bitchy for your own good." Drake put the knife to Olivia's neck.

"Go ahead. Slice my throat it doesn't scare me." Olivia could feel the blade over the scar that Gitano had made years ago. The case that changed Olivia and Elliot's relationship forever. The one that almost cost them their friendship.

"I see someone else has tried to kill you before. That's a nasty scar there Olivia." He took the knife and cut her arm over again. "How long can you last when you're bleeding from many cuts?" Olivia was scared. She just wanted to see Elliot again. Drake kneed her in the stomach.

Olivia gagged from the pain in her stomach."We are about to have some fun, my sweet Olivia." Drake laughed evilly.

Back at the Precinct

Elliot is working nonstop. Looking for Olivia was the only thing on his mind. "Elliot." Elliot turned to the voice and saw Kathy. "Kathy? What is it? Are the kids okay?"

"They're fine Elliot. I came here to see if you were okay."

"I'm fine. Couldn't be better." He said sarcastically. "Elliot look I know that you're still upset over the divorce and everything but I'm here to help you."

How? You can't help me. No one knows where Olivia is."

"Actually there is someone who does know."

"Okay, who?"

Kathy took a deep breath. "Me."

Elliot's head was spinning. "Wait you know where Liv is? How?"

"Because my new boyfriend is or was Drake." Elliot's blood boiled.

"And you waited until now to tell me this?! Olivia has been missing for two days now Kathy! God knows what he's doing to her right now."

"You don't understand. Just let me explain. Please." Elliot could feel his anger rising.

"Okay well, this morning I was doing dishes and the phone rang. It was Drake and he told me that he had a friend with him. And he asked me to help him. I went over there and there I saw Olivia tied to a bed. With duct tape around her mouth. She was unconscious and there was blood around her."

Elliot felt sick to his stomach. "Okay, then why did you wait until now to tell me?"

"Because he said if I told anyone that he would kill the kids." Elliot's heart stopped. "Where are they?"

"They are just outside the precinct doors. They are safe. They are all not too happy with me right now."

"No wonder." said Elliot angrily.

"Look, Elliot, I know that I've been a terrible person but please forgive me. Yes, I may have hated Olivia but I don't wish that violence and torture on anyone." Elliot ran to the captain's office.

"Cap we know where Olivia is. And we need to get to her now. But I need someone to stay with the kids."

"Have Kathy and the kids stay here. We need everyone to get Olivia back safely."

They all raced out of the precinct.

"Daddy?" Elliot turned and saw all his kids with tears in their eyes. "Please be careful and bring Olivia back safely." Elliot smiled warmly and hugged his kids. "I will. I promise. I love you guys so much and when Olivia comes back then we will finally start living." All the kids nodded.
