You all want to know who NNH is, so you're about to find out.

Chapter 14
It was the next day and the team had been looking over the case all day long. It was 8.30 and they still weren't making much progress. They now had the new letter, which told them their perp's initials were NNH, but so far they had no name to go with the initials.
Not even a partial print had turned up on the letter. They were guessing it was NNH who knew about the vics all being products of rape. Olivia was the only one they could definitely say Richard had known was a product of rape.
"How did he find out you were? "Fin asked Olivia.
"Son-of-a-bitch stalked me, he probably stalked the others. I don't know I guess he could have just researched us." She said.
"Liv come on, some of the people he killed were just quiet people, nobody's, no one other than their family and close friends should have known what they were?" Fin said.
"What they were?" Olivia questioned his choice of words. "Oh you mean products of rape. Devil cakes in the oven, was it…?" She asked, remembering what she had once heard Fin say about products of rape some years ago.
"Liv you know I didn't mean that." He replied
"I know. I'm sorry." She said "It's just I want to get justice for these people and for Kate and me…" She confessed.
It was getting late and they were all getting tired and snappy with each other. "Okay look why don't we all go for a drink and start working on this again tomorrow." Cragen suggested.
Everyone nodded liking the idea. Olivia knew Kate wouldn't be home alone, because she was with Ben at his house, but as Elliot was helping Olivia into her jacket Kate walked into the squad room.
"Kate?" Cragen questioned, he too thought she was with Ben.
"What up kiddo?" Olivia asked her.
"Can we talk?" Kate asked her.
"Yea sure baby…err look you guys go ahead." She said.
"Are you sure Liv?" Munch asked.
"Yea." She told them. She didn't really want to go out anyway, curling up on the couch with Kate and a movie sounded better to her.
"You want me to hang around?" Elliot asked.
"No you go out with the others." She said.
"Positive?" He checked.
"Go!" She said firmly but smiling.
He smiled back at her and slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her into him so he could kiss her.
"Okay Elliot, we get it you have a gorgeous wife and we're all single." Munch joked. "You never know our luck could change though tonight, so put her down and leave her talk to her daughter so we can go to the bar." He continued.
Olivia pulled back from him, laughing at Munch. "Ill see you later." She said suggestively.
"Yes you will." He said slapping her ass.
"Okay you two quit making us jealous." Munch said.
Fin and Cragen were just laughing at him. "Stop wishing it was you slapping her ass John." Elliot said as he walked past him.
"Sorry Liv, but like I said you're gorgeous and I'm a man, you can't hold me responsible." He joked.
"Goodnight John." She said.
"G'night Liv." He said. "Night kid." He said to Kate as he walked past her.
"Night Munch." Kate said.
They all left leaving Olivia and Kate.
"He's crazy" Kate said.
"Yea he's getting there." Olivia laughed. "So what's up with you?" Olivia asked her as she took her holster off her belt and put it down on Elliot's desk as she sat down on her own.
Kate was just about to answer her when another officer walked in. "Hey detective Benson." He said.
Olivia just smiled at him. She knew him as Officer Nathaniel Harlan. He had worked at the SVU longer than she had but she didn't like him. She would always catch him glaring at her and in fact he never usually spoke to her. "You here all alone?" He asked her.
"Yea the others all went for drinks." She told him. He was stood helping himself to the coffee.
"Come on lets go baby." She said to Kate, jumping off her desk and forgetting about her gun.
"Hey detective Benson would you help me locate some documents in the file room?" Officer Harlan asked her.
"Sorry my shifts over, I'm off home." She told him politely.
"Okay Olivia, no hard feelings." He said.
She froze on the spot and looked at him. His name suddenly registered in her head. Officer Nathaniel Neil Harlan. She wanted to run, but part of her wanted to take him down and arrest him. She knew he was NNH.
He turned around and suddenly had his gun pointed at them. She quickly shoved Kate protectively behind her. As he walked closer to them she began backing up, slowly inching her way towards Elliot's desk where she knew her gun was. She tried to reach out for it but Harlan fired his gun, she spun round and held Kate.
"Don't fucking move." He warned her.
She just stayed still, keeping her back to him. She was blocking his view of Kate, she mouthed 'backup' to her which she did. Olivia then grabbed Elliot's chair and threw it at Harlan before he had a chance to react.
It hit him, almost knocking him to his feet. She tried to run through the other doors with Kate but Harlan shot at them, barley missing them. She grabbed Kate and changed directions, now running towards the interrogation room. Harlan was quick on their heels though.
She ran in through the door of the observation room and shut it behind her, for what good it did. She then ran into the interrogation room with Kate. She knew it was the worst thing to do to block yourself in, but she had no other choice.
She grabbed a chair and jammed it under the door handle. Both she and Kate flinched as Harlan began pounding on the door. Olivia backed Kate into the corner and stood in front of her clutching another chair, her only weapon.
The banging suddenly stopped and she prayed to God someone had come into the station house and found him trying to get to them. There was suddenly a deafening noise as the glass window shattered.
Olivia dropped the chair as she felt a burning pain in her leg. She fell onto her knees.
"Mom!" Kate cried seeing Olivia's bleeding leg.
Harlan climbed through the smashed window. The glass cracked under his feet as he stormed over to them in the corner. He grabbed a handful of Olivia's hair and pulled her up only to throw her across the floor. She landed amongst the glass, slicing all her hands, arms and the rest of her body.
Harlan grabbed Kate and pulled her up. He hit her across the face with the butt of his gun, letting her fall into the wall. He hit her again in the back. He was about to hit her again when he suddenly froze.
Kate watched as he turned away from her, she saw Olivia standing behind him, all bloodied, then she noticed the huge shard of glass sticking out of Harlan's back. He went to aim his gun at Olivia but then his arm dropped and he fell to the floor.
Kate rested her head against the wall. "Is he dead?" Kate asked her.
Olivia bent down and picked up the gun, then shot him in the head. Kate flinched as she heard the shot. "Yea, he's dead." Olivia said.
Kate pushed herself off the wall and walked over to Olivia and flung her arms around her. Olivia turned her head so she didn't have to look at Harlan's dead body. Olivia looked at him. She finally understood why he had always glared at her and treated her like she wasn't there.
She led Kate out of the room and made her way back over to her desk. She picked up her phone and called Elliot. "El, I need you all back at the station house. I just found out who NNH was." She said before hanging up.
