Casey was fitted with the all the tracking and listening devices before going home, she didn't expect to see Jackson Kahler tonight. She put the key in to the door and everything looks in place, like she left it when she went to Olivia's apartment.

Casey looked at the kitchen which clearly read 11:02pm.

"Damn, I better go to bed." She thought to herself as she took off her coat.

Casey put her coat on the top of the couch before walking to her bedroom door, opening it, only to gasp in shock when she saw who was sitting on her bed waiting for her.

"Hello ADA Novak."

"How the hell did you get in to my apartment?" She asked in anger.

"Oh I have my ways. Would you like to be with your little friend Olivia?"

"Where the hell did you take her?"

"You will see in time, Casey."

"I'm coming. I need to know that she is alright."
"Of course, let's go."

Casey was pushed out of her apartment building in to an unmarked black van with a gun being pushed in to her back to the whole time.

"It's alright, Casey, we're following close behind." She heard Elliot inform her through the tiny ear piece hidden in her ear.

Forty minutes in to the drive, Casey was getting frustrated. "How much longer?"

"Like two minutes. Now just shut the hell up." Jackson spoke from the front passenger seat as Chad drove.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Back in the unmarked police van following, Elliot looked at Captain Cragen. "Where the hell is he taking her?"

"Shhh, Elliot. They just pulled over."

"They've pulled over in front of an abandoned warehouse." The driver said.

The men watched two men drag Casey in to the warehouse.

"You what to do men.." The captain of the SWAT team told his men.

Casey was dragged inside the warehouse in to a room. Olivia was tied up to an uncomfortable plastic chair, blindfolded and gagged.

"Liv!"

"Mmmm-mmm." Was the only answer that Olivia could give.

"Take those off her." Casey pleaded.

Jackson nodded. "Sure. Whatever." He said before taking the gag out of Olivia's mouth and then the blindfold off her eyes.

Casey expected to see Olivia's eyes full of fear but her chocolate brown eyes were filled with pure anger.

"Let us the hell go, you sick perverted ass." Olivia spat in anger.

Jackson hit Olivia just above her right eye with the butt of his gun. "Shut up."

"Quiet, Liv." Casey said as she was tied up in the chair beside the detective.

"Now that you're both here and I have your attention. I have a little something from ADA Novak's diary to read."

"You have my diary?!" Casey asked, clearly pissed.

"Yeah I do. It's a great read. Listen to this Detective Benson. Dear diary, today I realized how beautiful Olivia is. I think I am in love with her."

Olivia's eyes opened wide with surprise and she looked beside her at the red haired ADA.

"Case?"
Casey bit her bottom lip and looked away only to be startled by a gun shot being fired.

She looked back around to see Jackson Kahler unconscious on the cold, dirty cement floor.

"El?" Olivia spoke, looking up to see Elliot pointing the gun at Jackson's body.

Munch ran in and untied Olivia as Fin untied Casey.

"Liv, we should take you to the hospital."

"No. I'm not going to the hospital. I'm fine, John." Olivia insisted.

"Fine." John said and walked away.

"Here's your diary, Liv." Elliot said as he passed Olivia her diary.

Olivia saw what page it was opened on and gave it back to him. "Read that page, El."

"No, I couldn't. It's your private diary, Liv."

Olivia sighed. "How often do I let you in to my personal life?"

"Almost never, if you ever have at all." He said and read the open page of her diary.

It read:

'I've been working with Elliot for nearly ten years. He may treat me like dirt a lot but I can't help but love him more and more, each day.'

"Wow, Liv...Ah, um." He stuttered before looking up at her. "I'm sorry, Liv but I can't be in a relationship like that with you. I need to think about Kathy and the kids."

Olivia nodded with a sad smile as she took back her diary. "I'll see you at work tomorrow." She said and turned around. "John, could you please give me a lift home?"

"Sure, Liv."

"Liv..." Elliot tried to call her back but she and John just continued to walk out.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

That night, Olivia was sitting on her couch with her legs behind her as she nursed a glass of red wine, when she heard someone knock on the door. Olivia knew that it was Elliot before he even spoke.

"Liv, open up."

Olivia just took a sip of her wine before putting the glass back on the coffee table as she ignored him.

Seconds later, Elliot called her phone and when she didn't answer that either, he sighed as he closed his cell phone and walked away.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Olivia woke the next morning to a pounding headache and looked at the clock on her DVD player. 6:55am was clearly shown.

"Shit. I won't make it to work on time." She thought to herself and she jumped off the couch to have a quick shower.

Olivia walked in to the squad room at 7:40. Ten minutes late. Elliot looked up at his partner, who was dressed in dark blue jeans and a purple and white ¾ length sleeved shirt.

"You're late." Elliot said as he watched as she put her coat up.

Olivia didn't answer him so he walked up to her as she put her purse in her locker.

"Can we talk, Olivia?" He asked softly.

"Is it about a case?" She asked as she locked up her locker.

"You know what this is about, Liv."

"Well the answer is 'no' because there isn't anything to talk about."

Elliot was about to respond but Cragen walked out of his office and up to them.

"Benson, Stabler. New case. A twelve year old girl named Gem Mackenzie and she is in Mercy General."

Olivia nodded as she grabbed her coat and walked away from Elliot.
