Elliot huffed as he ran after Jackman, he and Olivia had split up and had called for backup to no avail as Jackman kept running from place to place, he was pretty sure he had heard Olivia call for backup. He watched as Jackman ran into an old building, Elliot knew there was only one way out – they had caught him. He saw Olivia run into the building form the other side obviously thinking the same thing, he was still quite far away so he picked up his pace and ran.

Olivia stood still as she heard a loud noise behind her, she turned but saw nothing. Gun in hand she was anxiously looking for Jackman,
"Give it up Jackman, there's only one way out and we've got it covered." She lied, she thought she'd heard Elliot call it in so she knew back up would be with them soon. She suddenly looked up as she saw a shadow of a man, "Jackman, put your hands in the air!" she yelled, the arms of the man went up. She couldn't put her finger on what was different but she knew something was, as he got closer to her she froze momentarily as she realised the man was not Jackman, she held her gun up to the man walking towards her.

"Miss Benson?" she turned as she heard her name and was immediately struck a powerful blow to the side of her face, she fell to the ground sending her gun meters away from her grasp. As she struggled to get her bearings she saw the other man walking towards her as well as Jackman who had delivered the blow. She mentally kicked herself for walking into the trap as she was roughly pulled up by Jackman, her cheek was throbbing she could feel blood escaping from her mouth. Jackman pulled her close to him, he wrapped his hand around her throat as he whispered in her ear."I'll be gentle with you Detective," he smiled.

"Let her go!" Elliot slowly walked in pointing his gun at the man who was holding his partner hostage,

"Detective Stabler – isn't this cosy?" Jackman smiled, "Put down your gun," he said as he turned Olivia so that she faced Elliot and wrapped his arm around her neck whilst holding the gun to her head. The other man had already pulled his gun and had it trained on Elliot, Olivia shook her head letting Elliot know that she didn't want him to put his gun down, Elliot held his gun in its place. "It could turn into a blood bath and actually it would be just you two that gets hurt, I'll shoot her, he'll shoot you, you'll probably shoot her too." He laughed,

"Let her go," Elliot still held his gun aimed at him, "You can walk out of here now if you just let her go,"

"Where would the fun be in that Elliot? Can I call you Elliot? Listen, you put your gun down I'll let her go, you don't put your gun down I'm going to shoot your lovely partner in the head." He gently kissed her on the side of her face, Elliot saw her struggle to keep her composure, "I'm disappointed you didn't show up a little later," he grinned at Elliot, "We were just about to get to know each other weren't we?" he kissed her again, lingering as he pulled away to see Elliot's reaction. Olivia bit her lip and closed her eyes, she knew he just wanted a reaction and she wasn't going to give it to him. "You ever look at her and wonder what she's like Elliot?" he asked, Elliot looked at him.

"What?"

"You don't look at her and wonder how it would feel to take her? You're a red blooded man of course you have, I'll tell you what if you let me go first-"

"Shut your mouth you sick son of a bitch!" Elliot was shaking as he aimed his gun at the man,

"El-" she tried to calm him down,

"Hit a nerve?" he asked, Elliot looked at Olivia, he tightened his grip around her throat. "You need to control that anger ...El," he smiled, "I'm getting bored of this," he took the safety off the gun, "Put the gun down Elliot, or i am going to shoot her." Olivia struggled to breathe as Jackman's grip intensified. "One..."

"Don't-" Olivia gasped,

"Two..."

"Elliot shoot him-"

"Three! Four –" Olivia braced herself, terrified for the shot that was about to come,

"Don't!" Elliot yelled, he thought that Jackman might back out, until he remembered how sadistic he was. How his victims had suffered, how he'd laughed as he'd hurt them. Elliot put his gun on the floor, Jackman released his tight grip on Olivia's throat but still held her in place. The second man remained silent with his gun trained on Elliot,

"Good boy Elliot, smart move." He put his hand in Olivia's pocket and took out her phone and radio, putting them in his pocket. He pushed Olivia away from him towards Elliot, he looked at her to check she was okay. "Phone" Jackman demanded, Elliot took his phone out of his pocket and threw it to the ground, "Radio." He did the same.

"You're not getting out of here alive, give yourself up now-" Olivia told him, until now she had let Elliot take the lead, knowing that one wrong move could result in a gun battle, and that both she and Elliot would be iunjured if not killed.

"You know it's funny I didn't hear and sirens out there so I'm assuming there's no one else out there?" he asked, Elliot and Olivia shared a glance. "Oh tell me something, how is little Abby?" he smiled, knowing the reaction he would get from Elliot,

"You're sick." Olivia told him,

"She was uh, she was very scared, kept calling for her mommy..." he grinned at Elliot, knowing the man would boil up thinking of the little girl and her rather untimely death.

"Shut up," Elliot told him between gritted teeth.

"I told her if she stayed still I'd take her home to her mom, the pictures came out really well-" Elliot ran forwards towards Jackman only to be roughly stopped by the silent man next to him, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and looked down to see blood. He raised his hand to his shoulder and looked up to see the second man holding a knife, unsure of where it had come from.

"Elliot!" Olivia ran forwards, she got on her knees as Elliot's hand became covered in blood,"you're gonna be okay," she whispered, hands on his chest. He looked at her

"It's minor it's okay," he grimaced as she helped him up, Jackman looked at the interaction between the two.

"You two really are quite cute, now tell me El, what's she like in the sack?" he laughed, Elliot knew he had to try and gain control of the situation, he had to un-nerve Jackman, but how? The pain in his shoulder intensified he knew it wasn't life threatening,

"We spoke to your mom," Elliot said angrily through the pain, Jackman looked up at him for the first time obviously phased. "She said you make her sick,"

"Shut up,"

"She didn't understand how her little boy could turn into monster, her words not mine. You know she's not expected to live past Christmas, that's what? 4 months?"

"I said shut up!" Jackman yelled,

"She said as far as she's concerned she has to no son, she said she has four months left to forget you ever existed, I wouldn't bother going to the funeral if I was you." Olivia noticed Jackman's arm shaking,

"Elliot-"

"Tell me Elliot, you two seem close, when one of you get's hurt does the other one feel pain?" Jackman asked slowly, Elliot looked up at him. His heart stopped as he saw him raise his arm, he didn't even have time to move before he knew it the shot had been fired. Elliot watched the shock in her eyes as the bullet hit, she looked at him with complete horror as she raised her hands to her stomach, they were quickly smothered in blood. He struggled to run forward to catch her as she fell but was immidiately pushed to the ground by Jackman's henchman who started kicking him whilst he lay on the ground, when he eventually stopped and moved away Elliot clambered over to where Olivia was lying struggling to breathe,

"No, no, no, no, Liv, No Liv, please," he pulled her towards him and placed his hands over her wound as complete and utter terror filled his heart, he could feel broken bones in his body but he didn't care.

"How does it feel Elliot?" Jackman asked the gun still pointed at him, "You couldn't keep your mouth shut?" he picked up the phones and radios on the floor and edged towards the door, Elliot couldn't contain his panic as he held his partner tightly, she was gasping for breath,

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Liv, I'm sorry." He told her again and again, he didn't even realise Jackman and the other man had left until he heard a loud slam of the door,

"El..." she gasped,

"You're okay, it's okay, I'm gonna get us out of here." He pulled her close out of bare desperation, his hands over hers as he struggled to contain her blood loss. "You're gonna be fine," He heard the door lock behind him.
