Elliot pulled up to the spot that Fin had directed him to. When he got out of the car, he saw Fin and Munch standing on the sidewalk, and he could see the tension between them, despite the fact that neither one was saying a word.

"Where is he?" Elliot asked when they reached him.

Fin nodded his head down the street. "Apartment building about a half a block down."

Elliot looked around, assessing the area. "This is what? Two blocks from Amy's hotel."

Fin nodded.

"He has an apartment here?" Elliot asked. That didn't make any sense. Logan didn't live here in the city.

Munch spoke for the first time. "We checked on the property, and found there are two apartments in the building that are rentals. You know, places you can rent for a night or a few days instead of a hotel."

"And Jason Logan rented one?"

Munch nodded. "Yep. 3D." He let out a sigh. "We saw footage of Jason carrying an unconscious Amy into the building. No security cameras inside."

"Then we saw footage of him walking out with her that morning, just a few minutes before they showed back up at the hotel." Fin added.

"She was walking on her own?" Elliot asked.

"Not really." Said Fin. "Just like the doc said, she was drugged. Logan has his arm wrapped around her and she looks pretty out of it. If I saw them, I would just assume she was drunk."

"So, we think he snatched her off the street and brought her here. And then took her back to the hotel." Elliot said.

Munch shrugged. "Seems the most likely."

"But we have no idea why he brought her here, or what he did to her." Fin said.

"There's a good chance we'll never know." Munch said.

"Well, I know what he did to Olivia. He beat her. Twice. He left her lying on the street, bleeding and unconscious. Any prick could have…" It made his blood boil to think about it. He could see it in his mind, her sprawled out on the cold concrete.

"Tucker is going to look at that tape and say she provoked him." Munch said.

Elliot swung his head to look at him. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"I'm just saying."

"He had no reason to even be there. He obviously surprised her. And she surprised him." He yelled. "You saw the tape. He pushed her back against the wall and smacked her." He snorted in disgust and shook his head. "Well, now it's his turn." Elliot started to move away from where Fin and Munch were standing, towards the apartment building. "He messed with the wrong person."

He turned when he felt a hand on his arm. "We need to call for backup." Munch said.

"Let the man do what he needs to do." Said Fin.

Now Elliot knew that the two of them had been arguing about how to handle Logan...about letting Elliot get a shot at him. But the fact that Munch hadn't already called it in was a good sign. He wasn't going to stop him.

"He hurt Olivia and you're just going to stand there and tell me that you don't want payback?" Elliot asked, steaming. He didn't wait for an answer…he started marching down the street.

"Of course I do!" Munch said loudly as he and Fin followed him. "But not like this."

Elliot had reached the door of the apartment building, but he didn't even slow down. He hit several buttons on the security panel, until someone finally buzzed him in. So much for security. He had counted on it.

He swung the door open and charged up the stairs with Fin and Munch in tow. When he got to the top of the stairs on the third floor, he looked left and right to determine which direction to go.

"Elliot, think about what you're doing." Munch said as he caught up with him.

"I am." Elliot said. He knew what he said was a lie. He was running on adrenaline and anger. He figured out he had to go to the right and headed in that direction, but not before he heard Munch say he was calling it in. He wasn't surprised, but he was a bit surprised that Fin hadn't said a word. He and Fin didn't often see eye-to-eye, but apparently he was all in on this.

The door to 3D was looming in front of him, and he hesitated for a second. It had to be something like 2 or 3AM right now, and he debated about kicking the door in. He didn't want to draw a crowd.

"What are you waiting for?" Fin asked.

Elliot took a step back, but Munch grabbed him around the arm hard, and pulled him back. "Don't do this." he hissed. "If you fuck him up, he's gonna get away with this." he said as Elliot strained to pull away from him. "How does that help Olivia? And Amy?"

Elliot stood in the hallway. He was breathing hard and he could hear the blood rushing in his ears as he tried to think about what Munch was saying. He had always dealt with things this way…his anger and rage boiling over when someone threatened or hurt someone he loved. He knew John was right, but his need to get vengeance was strong, pushing all rational thought to the side.

Before he knew it, Fin was pounding on the door and yelling Logan's name, and Elliot knew the element of surprise was gone.

"Goddamnit!" He cursed loudly. "What the hell are you doing?"

Fin shot him a dirty look. "Getting us inside."

Elliot simmered beside him, angry that suddenly Fin was on John's side. But he didn't have time to think about it because unbelievably, Logan had answered the door.

It was only open a fraction of an inch, but Elliot pushed his way in front of Fin and wedged his foot in the door. "You're under arrest you son-of-a-bitch. Let us in."

"What the hell for?" Logan answered.

"You assaulted by partner tonight. Again."

Logan shook his head. "She attacked me first."

"We have video, you dumbfuck." Fin said, pushing against the door. Logan stumbled back as the detectives pushed their way into the apartment with Munch right behind them.

Elliot could hear sirens in the distance. Logan had just regained his balance and was standing in the middle of a small living room area, but Elliot kept moving towards him. He opened his hand and wrapped it around Logan's throat and walked him backwards until his body and head hit the wall. Logan's eyes were wide in surprise, and Elliot saw him looking over at Fin and Munch, probably wondering why they weren't intervening.

Logan's hands went to Elliot's, and he dug his fingers in, trying to loosen his grip. "You can't…" he rasped out as Elliot lifted him up slightly, so only his toes were touching the ground.

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." Elliot said, his face red and contorted in anger. His face was mere inches from Logan's. "You fucked with the wrong person." He said. His voice was eerily calm, and he could see fear in Logan's face. He was still trying to pry Elliot's hands from his throat. "You're going away. For what you did to Amy. And what you did to my partner." He shook Logan slightly. "You hear me you cocksucker?" Logan's face was turning red now and he was gasping. Elliot could hear the sirens getting closer. "You're going to get everything you deserve." He leaned in even closer. "I'm going to make sure of it."

Elliot felt someone's hand on his arm, and he released Logan. He turned and saw Munch standing next to him as Logan slumped to the floor, gasping for air.

Logan had a hand at his throat and Elliot backed away, trying to calm himself.

When Logan had regained his breath. "I'm not going anywhere. You're not going to get away with this."

"With what?" said Munch, walking up next to Logan.

"He assaulted me." Logan said.

"I didn't see a damn thing." Fin said.

"I'm going to have bruises." Logan said, scrambling into a sitting position as the three detectives circled him. "That'll prove it."

"The only thing I saw was you resisting, and taking a swing at him." Fin said. "You're lucky he didn't do worse."

Logan had an incredulous look on his face. Munch pulled him up. "Jason Logan, you're under arrest for the assault of Olivia Benson and for the kidnapping of Amy Maddox." John pulled Logan's hands behind his back and put the cuffs on while he finished reading him his rights.

Elliot stepped away, leaning over slightly as he put his hands on his upper thighs. He needed to gain his composure before the uniforms and Cragen showed up.

He could still hear Logan complaining as he stood up and surveyed the apartment. Hopefully, it would hold the clues they needed to figure out what happened to Amy while she was here. It was seconds later that four uniformed cops stormed into the apartment, followed by Cragen.

The uniforms dragged Logan away, and Elliot could hear his complaints still spouting as they walked down the hall.

"Do I want to know what happened here?" Cragen asked. He hadn't seen any blood on Logan, so the situation was actually a lot better than he had suspected. "You shouldn't have come barging in here without backup." He reprimanded.

Elliot shook his head, not wanting to get into it right now.

"Logan opened the door Captain." Munch said. "And when we tried to arrest him, he resisted.

"Took a swing at Stabler." Fin added.

Elliot nodded. Their story was set, and he knew no one would argue with them or take Logan's side on this one.

"This is where he brought Amy?" Cragen asked, and Elliot knew that was the end of the discussion regarding how they barged in.

Munch nodded. "That's what the tapes showed."

"Then let's get out of the way and let CSU process this place."

"I'm going back to the hospital." Elliot said.

"We'll hold Logan in interrogation. Let him sweat until we have time to get some results from the techs." Cragen said.

Elliot looked at his watch and saw it was just a little after 3AM. He hoped Olivia was sleeping, and that she hadn't noticed he was gone. He thought about calling Amy and telling her Logan was in custody, but he didn't want to wake her. Morning would be fine.

Right now, his priority was Olivia.

EOEOEOEOEEO

Elliot had stopped at his apartment and taken a shower. He wanted some fresh clothes, and to collect himself a little after his altercation with Logan. By the time he got to the hospital, it was after 4AM, and he saw Olivia was awake.

"Where did you go?" she asked.

There was no alarm or accusation in her voice, just concern, and he felt bad if he had worried her.

"Getting used to having me by your side?" Elliot teased as he approached the bed.

"Nah. Just needed someone to spring me out of here."

Elliot smiled down at her as he brushed her hair lightly back from her forehead. "You're not going anywhere." He said.

Olivia sighed. "I just want to sleep in my own bed."

"I know." Elliot whispered, leaning over and brushing his lips lightly over the skin on her forehead. "But this is the best place for you right now."

He pulled back and looked down at her. It pained him to see her face even more black and blue than before. "How's the pain?"

"I'm fine. They gave me something." Olivia said. She reached up and snagged Elliot's hand. "When they do let me out of here…when I do get to go home…" her voice trailed off. "Will you stay with me?"

Elliot bit back a smile. He couldn't believe that Olivia was admitting she needed help, but he wasn't going to say anything. It was a big step for her. "Just try to keep me away."

Olivia smiled slightly and closed her eyes, squeezing his hand.

"We got Logan." Elliot whispered.

Olivia's eyes opened and she stared up at him.

"We found the place he took Amy. CSU is there now."

"Does Amy know?" she asked.

"Not yet. I'll call her later this morning."

Olivia let out a heavy sigh. "I'm afraid of what they're going to find."

"Try not to think about it." Elliot said.

"Did Logan say anything?"

Elliot stood up and shifted uncomfortably.

"What did you do?" Olivia asked, feeling a finger of dread run up her spine. She waited for him to answer, but she could probably guess.

"Nothing." Elliot said. In his mind, he hadn't done a fraction of what he had wanted to do, so he didn't feel the need to confess. He saw the look on her face…the concern…and the disappointment." "I didn't touch him."

Olivia considered him for a moment, trying to decide if he was telling her the truth. She decided to let it drop, because she knew she'd find out sooner or later. Right now, she was tired and her head hurt and she wanted to sleep some more. Olivia tugged his hand, pulling him closer to her. "Will you lie here with me?"

Elliot smiled. "I don't think there's any room for me."

"Are you afraid of me?" Olivia teased.

Elliot looked back at the door and then back at Olivia. "Move over."
