A/N: Here it is chapter 8. I don't really know how many more chaps this has, we will just see how out plays out.

Noise. All she could hear was noise. It sounded like a stampeded and in her confused state of mind she almost called out to whoever was causing it to knock it off. Olivia didn't know how long it had been since Todd had left or even how long it was since Lizzie had spoken. Time seemed to have no relevance to her and she could barely keep her head up from sheer exhaustion. Her body ached from the awkward position she was in and she was so cold that her muscles had seized up. She was too tired to care anymore. Too tired to come up with some sort of plan for escape and too tired to maintain her dignity as she tried to find a more comfortable position in her naked state.

The door creaked open and Olivia flinched hoping that Todd hadn't returned with a jar of Viagra. She tried to turn to face the door but her arms screamed in protest so turned back away collapsing back to the floor. It didn't matter now anyway, she was tired of fighting. If Todd wanted to take her she wouldn't put up much of a fight.

"Olivia, Lizzie?"

Olivia closed her eyes cursing her delirious mind. She could have sworn she just heard her partner calling her name. She closed her eyes hoping to get lost in her delirium. She heard many footsteps enter the room and sighed in frustration. Others weren't meant to be a part of her hallucination. Just Elliot. All she needed was him. If only in her mind.

"Lizzie! Oh thank God" Elliot cried running over to his child. Lizzie opened her eyes wide when she saw her father. Elliot quickly began to remove her ties.

Fin was right behind Elliot but his attention was grabbed by the naked woman on the floor. He quickly went over turning her to face him.

"Fin?" Olivia mumbled as Fin lifted her head in his hands.

"It's ok baby girl. I gotcha" Fin whispered sweeping her hair out of her face.

All at once it hit her. She was lying naked on a dirty floor in front of what appeared to be half of the NYPD. All her senses then hit her at once. She was highly aware of the men in the room. Her eyes widened as she looked at Fin with shame in her eyes.

"Jesus Christ Fin, please don't let anyone see me like this" she begged clutching at his leather jacket.

Fin quickly nodded and whipped off his jacket to wrap around her naked body covering her completely. He removed the handcuffs and helped her stand up. Olivia's muscles were so sore that she promptly fell against Fin who wrapped his arms around her.

Elliot glanced over to see his partner but was unable to get a visual due to Fin hovering over her. He lifted his daughter into his arms. As much as he wanted to run over and check on Olivia his priority 

was his daughter. "Fin, we have buses outside waiting for them. Bring Liv out" Elliot called as he made his way up the stairs.

Fin scooped Olivia up into his arms and she buried her face in his neck shielding her face from the eyes of the other officers. "I don't want El to see me" she mumbled into his skin.

Fin looked down at the woman in his arms and felt the tears he had so carefully kept at bay since the whole ordeal began burn in the back of his eyes.

"It's ok baby. I won't let anyone see you" He soothed as they reached outside and he made his way over to a waiting ambulance.

Fin laid her down on the gurney were she was immediately loaded into the back of the bus. Fin quickly hopped in taking her hand in his as the EMT pulled the doors closed. Olivia closed her eyes against the harsh lighting in the ambulance. She was aware of Fins hand in hers and the cool leather of his jacket that covered her to mid thigh.

"OK honey, my names Doug. Let me just get this jacket off of you" the young male EMT explained reaching for the jacket.

"NO!" Olivia cried her eyes shooting open and her hands clenching the jacket at where the material met.

"I need to see if you have any injuries" Doug explained gently.

Fin looked at her thinking maybe it wasn't such a good idea that he had ridden with her.

"Livvy, I promise I won't look" Fin said looking her in the eye.

"It's not that...I just...I don't to do this" Olivia replied meekly. She sighed as she closed her eyes letting go of the jacket. "Just hurry up and do whatever."

Doug carefully removed the garment from her body making sure not to brush his hand against her bare skin. He quickly gave her body the once over happy to see no visible injuries. Though Fin had said he would not look he found himself looking at the naked body of his colleague and friend. His eyes quickly scanned her body looking for any physical injuries that he had not seen in the basement, his relief at seeing no injuries was short lived when his eyes landed on her upper thighs were he could clearly see bruising. His stomach knotted at the obvious. He squeezed her hand and leant down to her ear. "I won't let him get away with this Liv," he whispered.

Olivia opened her eyes and gave him a small smile while she reached up to him with her free hand to stroke his cheek, "Thank you Fin" she muttered before closing her eyes once again.

Elliot walked quickly down the corridor of St Anne's Hospital in search of his partner. It had been over forty five minutes since his daughter and Olivia had been brought in and though his daughter and been given a clean bill of health he had yet to hear of the condition of his partner. He had left Lizzie in the care of Kathy back in her hospital room saying that he was going to check on Olivia much 

to the annoyance of his soon to be ex-wife. He left the room hearing the muttering of Kathy saying that even with his own daughter in hospital he would still choose to be with Olivia.

Elliot quickly rounded the corner coming upon his captain, Fin, Munch and Casey. The captain looked warily at the group and shook his head and sighed. Elliot hurriedly walked up to them to get a full report on Olivia's condition.

"How's Liv?" He asked noting the lack of eye contact from the group. "What is it? What's going on?"

Fin walked over to the wall and leaned against it looking up to the roof. Casey looked down at her feet and gave a non committed shrug of her shoulders.

"For Christ's sake can someone give me some answers!?"

"She won't allow a rape kit" Cragen said quietly.

"Was she raped" Elliot whispered his brain becoming invaded with images of his beautiful partner being held down and raped by that crazy ass man.

"She ah...she had bruising...on her thighs Elliot" Fin supplied still looking at the roof.

"Let me talk to her. I'll get her to understand that she needs to have the rape kit." Elliot made for the door that led into her room but was quickly stopped by Fin's hand on his forearm.

"She don't wanna see you" Fin said with a raised eyebrow.

"What the Hell are you talking about" Elliot raged looking around the group and getting a lack of eye contact from anyone.

"She asked that you don't see her" Cragen said firmly and with a look that let Elliot know had no way in Hell of getting into see his partner as long as he was around. Elliot closed his eyes and clenched his fists at his side. He had no idea what he had done to cause Olivia to refuse him entry into her room. Did she not know that by keeping him from her during a time like this was going to kill him? All he wanted to do was scoop her into his arms and cry with her and thank her for keeping his daughter alive and safe. Elliot turned from the door his heart broken for the woman that lay just beyond his reach. If she would only let him he would love her and never let her go. He took a couple of steps away and turned back to the group feeling like an outsider to the ones who were allowed to be with her.

"See if she will let Melinda do the exam. She might feel more comfortable with her" he offered as he walked away.

Olivia glanced at the IV noticing that it had come to an end. Thanking God she quickly pulled the needle out of her arm and got out of bed. She was thankful that Casey had the good sense to bring her in a change of clothes otherwise Olivia making her escape would have been all that much harder. She quickly got dressed in the darkness of her hospital room. Melinda had come in and tried to talk 

her into having a rape kit done, Olivia had tried to explain again for what seemed like the millionth time since she was wheeled into the hospital that she was not raped. Apparently she was none to convincing because she had heard the medical examiner tell her captain that she was in denial of what had happened to her. She had given her statement to Munch and as much as she hated to relive the horrendous experience explained how the 'rape' went down. Unfortunately her statement was a contradictory to Lizzie's who had cried in her dads arms about the horror of seeing Olivia being raped.

Olivia opened the door and stepped out into the hall just as she was thinking how lucky she was to find her friends gone Fin rounded the corner with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Whatcha think ya doin' Livia?" He asked shaking his head taking in her clothes and lack of hospital attire.

"I'm going home" she said matter of factly making her way down to the nurses' station.

Fin followed close behind trying to ascertain how much trouble he would be in with his captain if he didn't stop her from leaving. Cragen, Munch, Casey and Fin had decided that they were going to take it in turns to stay with Olivia through her stay at the hospital. Fin had volunteered first reluctant to leave her. No one had warned him that she would be a flight risk though.

"Hi, I would like to sigh out AMA" Olivia told the nurse at the station.

The nurse looked up from her files and smiled sweetly at her. "Honey, you're only in here over night. So why don't you go back to your room and your doctor will discharge you in the morning."

Olivia's raised one eyebrow at her and replied in her own sugary sweet voice. "I'm leaving. Right now. So either gives me the form to sign or when the morning nurse does her rounds it will look like you have lost one of your patients through the night."

The nurse huffed as she got up to retrieve the right paperwork for Olivia to leave.

"Liv, I can't let you do this" Fin said taking a hold of her arm and preventing her from signing.

"Fin, I have just been locked up in the basement of some mad man with my partner's daughter. All of which happened against my will. I'll be damned if I spend another minute in a place that I don't want to be."

Olivia held Fin's gaze waiting for him to back down and let go of her arm. She loved Fin and how he had been since she was rescued but she would take him down in an instant if he was going to prevent her from going home. Fin released his hold on the stubborn detective and gave her a small smile.

"I'm guessing you're gonna need a ride home"

"Yup. Good thing you're he, huh?"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



It had been five days since Olivia had left the hospital. When Fin had dropped her off she had told him she would be fine and that she was going to take Cragen up on his offer to take some time off. The first thing she did when she went into her apartment was disconnect her phone and place a post it note on her door for anyone who dared knock on it. As much as she loved the guys and Casey for wanting to be there for her she needed the time alone. She didn't want to talk or be comforted she wanted silence and sleep. She had slept almost the entire five days, only waking up for a couple of hours at a time. She thought that sleeping would be hard and plagued with nightmares but it was the opposite it was the only time she felt safe and disconnected from her own unsettling life. She knew that it probably was not the right way to recovery but for the time being it seemed to be working for her.

She had not heard from Elliot and though she did wonder about Lizzie she could not bring herself to place a call to him and enquire about her wellbeing.

Elliot stood outside Olivia's apartment for the third time in the five days that she had been home. He never had the nerve to knock though he so had wanted to. He stared at the post-it note

I'm Fine

I Don't Want To Talk About It

Go Away

He took in Olivia's cursive scrawl and her words. He was pretty sure the post-it was for him though he knew no one had been granted access into her apartment since she had come home. Tonight was different though. He needed to see her. He was not here for himself he was here for his daughter. Elliot's heart ached at the thought of his sweet daughter. Not a night had passed that she had slept more than an hour. She seemed to be getting worse, crying all the time and constantly asking for Olivia. Kathy had practically begged him to come here tonight to see if Olivia would come and see Lizzie being at her wits end as to what to do for her daughter. Elliot was reluctant to come to Olivia's knowing that it could set back Olivia in her own recovery, if she was healing at all.

Elliot gave two quick knocks on the door before he could change his mind. He listened carefully as he heard some movement from behind the wooden door and finally hearing the locks turn. The door opened to reveal a much underdressed Olivia. She was wearing tiny tiny black boy shorts and a figure hugging white tank top that barely contained her breasts. Elliot dragged his eyes over his partners' body stifling a groan when his eyes reached her chest. Forcing his gaze up to her face he took in her appearance. Her eyed looked dull and she seemed to have lost a little colour in her face and her hair was tousled like she had just left it to its own device after being washed.

Olivia's heart thumped at her partners' perusal of her body. She watched as he clenched his jaw as his eyes raked over her. She felt her stomach flutter at his apparent approval. She so desperately wanted to pull him into her apartment and into her bed but that little nagging angel on her shoulder hindered her.



"What are you doing here El?" she was going to rage at him for not doing as she had asked by leaving her alone but seeing him here in front of her after all that had happened had made her defences weak.

"I need you... I mean...Lizzie. Lizzie needs you"
