Olivia sat in the corner of her room, huddled in fetal position. She was thinking about the beating she had received at the precinct.

By her partner.

By her best friend.

By Elliot.

'It wasn't his fault. He didn't mean to get drunk. He just wanted to get out his anger. He's angry at his wife for leaving him. It wasn't his fault,' she thought. But try as she may, Olivia didn't think she could forgive him.

The detective needed to pull herself together, so she got up from the floor. Walking over to the bathroom, she gently turned the cool handle on the door and walked in. Olivia went over to the shower and turned the handle on the hottest position it would go. She needed to feel warm again.

After she stripped down, the detective looked in the mirror. Tears streamed down her face. She had not actually looked at the markings on her body. Immediately she turned away. Liv could not look at the handy work of her partner. With that, she stepped into the shower. The water was burning hot but she didn't notice. She just needed to be warm. To feel warmth. Something that was taken from her when Elliot beat the crap out of her.

After she got out of the shower, she dried herself off and wrapped a towel around her body. When she finished getting dressed, she headed out into the living room. Sitting herself down on the couch, she let her eyes droop. Thoughts started filling the empty corners of her mind, coming out of the shadows where she hid them. Just as she was about to fully immerse her mind in these thoughts, the buzzer rang.

She cursed it and gently got up off the couch. Pushing the button, she asked, "Who is it?".

"The Easter bunny. Let us up," said a sarcastically comforting voice. It was Munch. Olivia wasn't really happy he was here, but at least it wasn't Elliot.

By 'us', Olivia was going to presume he had Fin with him. Fin was alright, but she really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. However, she decided it wasn't healthy to cut off communication, so she let them up.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

When she answered the door, they immediately stepped inside, as though their reason for being there would cause her to slam the door in their faces.

"What's up?" she asked them in a false chipper voice. Lucky for her that she put on some make up. The last thing she wanted right now was to get Elliot in trouble. It would only be one more thing he could pin on her.

"Nothin' really. Captain wanted us to come over and make sure you guys didn't die," Fin said.

" 'Guys'?" she asked them. Munch and Fin looked at each other. Munch rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah. You and Elliot. Or have you already forgotten about him. We just stopped by his house. He had a REALLY bad hangover. Must be really depressed about his wife. He usually never drinks," Munch said, "he's heading back to work now. Are you going to join us? Or leave us as the Three amigos, instead of Four?".

She honestly had to take a moment to think about it. How could she go back to work? How could she face him again? Would he immediately think she told them?

No. She couldn't let her fear get in the way of her duty. She would simply ask for a new partner until he cooled down. Yes. That was exactly what she would do… or so she thought.

"Alright," she said, "I'll come". With that, she grabbed her coat and the three drove to the big 1-6.

Upon their arrival, Olivia noticed that Elliot wasn't there. She murmured thanks as she walked over to Cragen's office. She knocked.

"Come in," said the voice of Don Cragen, their Captain. When she entered, she noticed he was talking to Casey Novak, their ADA.

"Captain," she started, "Can I talk to you… in private?". He looked from her to Casey.

"Sure. Casey was just leaving anyway. Stop by later and we'll continue our discussion," he said to Casey, who nodded and left the room, "What can I help you with today, Olivia?".

She hesitated at first. Surely he would ask her why she wanted a new partner. Currently, she had two voices in her head.

I have to do it.

Hurry up and make the decision.

But it was just a one time thing, right?

Hurry up!

But what if it happens again?

Olivia…

He's not going to wait forever.

Olivia…

But what if he gets mad at me?

OLIVIA!

That snapped her back from her argument. Captain had been calling her.

"Olivia, are you still there?" he asked, and gave a slight chuckle.

"Huh? Oh… yeah. I'm here. I just uh… wanted to ask how your day was going," she said rather quickly.

Ask how your day was? Yeah, real smooth. Nice going, Liv.

"Well, uh, fine I guess," Cragen said, scratching his head. He wasn't expecting that. Olivia could tell he was suspicious.

He was actually wonder why she had to make Casey leave if that's all she wanted to say.

The talked for a little while; Cragen not prying into her bizarre behavior. After a few minutes, she left.

Olivia couldn't stand it. Was she frightened of him? Was she angry at him? She couldn't tell.

She had to spill to someone.

When she walked out, she saw Munch and Fin talking.

"Fin, can you take a walk with me for a second?" she asked. That was going to be her secret keeper. It was going to be Fin.

He said yes, and the 2 walked out of the precinct and started walking. Just walking. When they got to a secluded park, Olivia suggested they take a break there. When they sat down on a bench, Olivia broke down and told Fin everything. After she finished her story, she wiped her eyes and looked a her.

He was pissed. Not at her.

Elliot.

"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch," he said, shaking with anger, "Come on. We're going back to the precinct. I'm gonna give that bastard a piece of my mind".

"NO!" she protested, "you can't. Please. Don't do anything. I just needed someone to vent to. Don't…. do anything. Please." She pleaded with him for what felt like ages as they walked back to the precinct. By the time they head returned, he had changed his mind.

"Fine. But if he touches you again, I WILL kill him. Okay?" he asked her. She nodded and hugged him.

Olivia could describe Fin as a big teddy bear when he was in a good mood. Furthermore, he was like an older brother to her.

Way older.

But she knew she could depend on him Unfortunately, he was about to break his brotherly trust.

The moment they got into the precinct, he ushered Olivia up to the cribs so she could sleep. He could tell she was exhausted.

Then, he rushed into Cragen's office.

"Captain," he said, out of breath, "we need to talk".

Captain Don Cragen was a gentleman. A true gentleman. Held doors, paid for dinner, little things like that.

What's more is that he was also a fatherly figure to Olivia Benson. The moment he found out about her father, he took her under his wing- so to speak.

When he found out about the beating she had received, he was pissed off. And not just regularly pissed off.

Pissed off like a father would be about his daughter.

The moment Fin told him, he grabbed his coat and left the precinct. He hopped into his car and jammed his foot on the pedal. He was going to go as fast as he could [legally go.

When he got to Elliot's apartment complex, he saw Elliot just locking the door. Cragen parked nearby and got out of his car, slamming the door behind him. Elliot turned as Cragen approached him.

"Hey Captain. Sorry. I was just leaving n-"

Captain cut him off with a nice sucker punch to the jaw. They both heard a crack as his fist collided with Elliot's jaw. Now, Captain was old. But he wasn't that old. His punches hurt like hell.

"What the!" Elliot yelped, but was once again cut off by another punch to his face.

Captain just kept going and going and going until he couldn't go anymore. When he finally stopped, he stood up, over Elliot's body. Captain was breathing heavily now. His knuckles were split and covered with blood.

Elliot's blood.

"You deserved it you son of a bitch," Cragen said, spitting on him and walking away. Elliot just laid there, too shocked to do anything. The reason, of course, was obvious. Elliot knew exactly why he did it.

'He knows'…
