Thanks as usual for the review, they rock and are very inspiring.
The title isn't as bad as it sounds, its more literal, (if that's the right word) in the sense that this chapter is how the story actually began and then some. You'll see what I mean. I'm crap at explaining things…
This is quite cool if you read it and play it out in your head and what not, to the song 'Meant to live' by Switchfoot.
Those with youtube can find a video there under Tequila & Bonetti - MARISKA HARGITAY - Meant to Live, and hence forth listen to the song. I don't know you might not think it works but I just kind of did, and I'm rambling so I'm gonna shut up.
Disclaimer: Screw you disclaimer! Sorry it just annoys me.
Chapter 5
'The End Of The Beginning'
Elliot had finally caught a break. He'd found something on CO Matt Parker. He'd worked in another women's prison in LA but been fired with a file full of rape accusations made against him. He'd also been tested positive more than once on random drug tests done on staff and inmates.
He gathered up his evidence and walked over to Cragen's office. He hoped now he would pull her out. "Captain, look at this." Elliot said handing Cragen his evidence on Parker.
Cragen glanced through it and quickly came to the conclusion he wasn't happy having Olivia around a highly suspected rapist when he could easily have the opportunity to get her alone.
He knew he had her around them everyday but that was in a more controlled setting, controlled being Elliot ready to pounce and pummel any perp who so much as looked at Olivia in a threatening way.
"Okay we've got enough to bring this guy in. Hopefully Sealview will follow lead and fire him so he can't hurt anymore women. Do you think he's working alone?" Cragen asked Elliot.
"Let's hope so for Olivia's sake." Elliot said. "Captain please can we get her out of there now. Would you really be happy if we nailed the guy or guys at the expense of Liv's life?" He said.
Cragen hadn't particularly wanted her there at all so he wasn't about to say no to getting her out now, not when they had something good come out of it whilst she was still alive.
"Okay pull her out. Let her be pissed and mad and yell at us all, for once I will be quite happy to see you two screaming at each other." He said. He knew they would end up arguing for weeks when he pulled her out of an undercover job, but truth was he didn't care.
Elliot went running out, he was going straight to get her out, even if it involved him carrying her out kicking and screaming.
Olivia was stood in her cell when the door opened and Parker walked in. She turned around to see who it was, but quickly turned back around seeing it was him.
"What the hell do you want?" She asked.
"You owe me for the Vicodin last night." He said suggestively.
"Don't you know Parker, Vicodin decreases your sex drive? Sorry, I'm not in the mood." She informed him.
"You don't need one, nor do you have to be, just me. You can just lay there." He told her.
"I would have probably fallen asleep anyway." She mocked. "You got little feet Parker." She said, knowing what they said about men with big feet.
"You think you're so smart…don't you detective?" He said.
Her heart missed a beat. She turned around to face him. "What did you just say?" She said, knowing her cover had been blown somehow.
He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it and showed it to her. It was what Harris had given him earlier. It was an article he'd pulled from off the internet from when she had rescued Maria, a little girl who was being abused, a few years ago.
She tried to think for minute. She knew Munch was off shift now but Fin had to be around somewhere. "Matt Parker you're under arrest…" She began but he just cut her off laughing.
"You're in a prison sweetheart, you're not arresting me." He said frankly.
He started to walk towards her and all she could do was back up. He already had his baton out. "So what you force the women to take drugs so you have a reason to sleep with them? Rape the ones who say no?" She said trying to stay calm but her heart was pounding against her chest.
"What are you gonna say?" He asked regarding her payment for the Vicodin.
She crashed to a stop as her back hit the wall. She watched him closing in on her. She was running on empty when it came to ideas on getting herself out of this one. Something in her head told her 'run'.
She did just that, she tried to barge past him but he swung his baton and clipped her with it. She fell to the floor clutching her bleeding head. He crouched down and forced her mouth open while he shoved some more Vicodin down her throat, again covering her mouth and holding her nose till she swallowed the pills.
"That's a good whore." He said again. He stood up pulling her up with him.
"Now you owe me twice…" He said. "..But I have a friend who is just dying to get his hands on you. I'm a nice guy I might share." He told her.
He began to drag her out of her cell. "Get your hands off me." She yelled.
Laura was sat in her cell but could hear the commotion. She ran over to her door and looked out of the peephole. "Kat! Kat!" She yelled.
She could see her getting dragged off. "Hey!" She yelled at Parker. Parker covered the peephole and carried on dragging Olivia off. All the inmates were yelling now, some knew what was happening, others guessed she was being moved to a different wing of the prison.
Parker threw Olivia down into a room. She quickly pushed herself off the floor and backed away as she saw another man standing in the room, it was Harris.
She'd got herself into some sticky situations before; Richard White holding a knife at her throat in central park, being held hostage, having to decide what to do when a crazed pedophile had a gun held at Elliot's head, were just a handful of them. They all seemed a lot more promising than this though.
"I don't know what led you here, but it was the last thing that you're ever going to do detective." Harris said as he closed the gap between them.
"Which one of you killed Rita? Or did you expect me to believe she killed herself?" She asked angrily.
Harris just laughed. "It really is a shame, from what I've read about you you're a great detective, it's just too bad." He said.
She looked at him. "Go to hell." She said sounding as pissed as she felt.
He laughed for a second then smacked her across the face so hard it flipped her body round so her front was now facing the wall, instead of her back.
She put her hand on her face. Her cheek felt like it was going to explode along with her eyeball. She was suddenly tugged back and thrown to the floor.
She landed hard and painfully on her back. "Ugh." She moaned as she tried to roll over, only to be kicked in the stomach.
She tried to crawl onto her hands and knees but was kicked again, causing her body to crumple to the floor beneath her, she still tried to get up again but a foot stomped on her back and held her down whilst another kicked her.
Fin unlocked a gate and met up with Elliot who was completely out of breath. "What's going on?" Fin asked him.
"Where's Olivia?" He ordered.
"In her cell, what's wrong?" He asked.
"She's in danger, we're pulling her out. Where's Parker?" He asked.
A light bulb suddenly went on in Fin's head. "He said he was moving an inmate." He told him.
They both suddenly got a sickening feeling in their stomachs. "Take me to Liv." Elliot ordered.
As they ran to her cell they both prayed they weren't too late, by the time they made it to her cell they were both in a full blown sweat. Fin unlocked Olivia's door and pushed it open. They both froze when they saw they cell was empty.
They backed out. "Where the hell is she?" Elliot yelled. Pure fear and panic had struck him like a thunderbolt.
"Hey, Hey guard!" They heard a women shout. It was Laura in her cell next to Olivia's
Fin ran up to the next cell and pulled the shutter over the peephole in the door down. "Where's Liv… Kat..?" He asked forgetting the inmates only knew her as Kat.
"They took her down to the isolation room, that's where they do it, go help her quick." Laura shouted to them, even before she had finished they were all ready running back down the stairs.
Whilst Parker had held her firmly in place, not that her body could actually fight back now, Harris had ripped open her shirt. Parker has pushed her down onto a cot that was in the corner of the room and Harris hadn't wasted any time climbing on top of her. She had screamed but it was due to his heavy weight on her broken body.
Parker was holding her shoulders down using such force his nails were cutting into her exposed skin. Harris suddenly pulled a knife from his belt.
"Kat stabbed her husband to death didn't she?" He asked Olivia.
He put the blade down on her skin starting at the top swell of her breasts, he began gliding the blade down, down in between her breasts and across her belly, never actually breaking the skin.
He turned the knife just under her naval and took it the other way across her stomach. He had traced the letter 'L' on her stomach. "L…" He said. "…For liar…" He spat at her between gritted teeth before thrusting the knife into her stomach.
There was nothing she cold do but scream and cry in pain.
He pulled the blade out of her, she cried in more pain. "I want her alive." Parker reminded him.
"Fuck you." She yelled groggily at Parker. She used the little strength she had to try, in vain, to hold Harris's arm back as he swung the knife back down into her stomach. She was in so much pain and shock that although she opened her mouth to scream, no scream came out just a whimpering gurgling sound
He ripped the knife out, he was about to stab her again when the door opened with a bang, another bang, this one from a gun, went off in the room. Harris dropped the knife and toppled off the bed, a bullet was securely lodged in his brain thanks to Elliot's smoking gun.
Parker grabbed the knife from off the floor and held it against Olivia's throat. "Shoot me, I slip and she's dead." He said.
Elliot shot again, hitting Parker in the thigh. He dropped the knife and grabbed his bleeding limb, cursing in pain. He wanted to make a sarcastic remark like 'wanna bet?' or 'Ya think?' but he went straight for his partner.
Fin ran over to Parker and whacked him across the head with his baton, not once but three times till he was out cold. Elliot was kneeling next to Olivia, she was barely conscious. "Call for a bus now!" He yelled at Fin.
Fin ran out of the room to make the call whilst Elliot had his hand over the pumping slits on Olivia's stomach. Her warm blood was seeping through his fingers. It made him feel sick, not because it was blood or the way it felt, but because it was her blood, taking her life along with it.
He added a little more pressure. She cried in pain and he felt tears begin to sting his eyes. "Baby hold in there, I'm getting you out of here. I'm taking you home then I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you ever again, I promise. I'm so sorry…" He cried.
He was a religious man and believed in one God, but at this moment he was praying to every god he had ever heard of and anyone who was listening to him to save her

Oh no! I can just hear you guys yelling at me now!
In my defense, I'm sorry… Hang in there with me on this mega cruel cliffhanger that I actually feel really guilty about, because I'm going bed now so there won't be an update till tomorrow.
If someone promises to give me a very detailed account of what happens in this episode when it eventually airs then I will begin writing as soon as I wake up in a bout 6 or 7 hours.
