Before It's Too Late

Chapter 4

A/N; I knew that last chapter would get y'all to review! :P It made me so happy to see all the wonderful reviews. During the week I will be able to update on a somewhat regular basis, but weekends are no good for me to update, just so ya know. Well hang on to your britches, because this chapter is where it is going to get good! And I might do some point of view (POV) switching in this chapter I have not decided as of yet, but we'll see where the typing goes lol! Oh ya and sorry that it took me so long to update I started writing this on Monday, but life got in the way, and I couldn't finish it until tonight.

Previously;

"STOP IT! LET ME GO YOU SICK FUCK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING," came Olivia's yells from inside the house.

Elliot was about to grab the door knob when he heard a gun shot ring out from inside the house. What scared him more was what he didn't hear. He didn't hear his partners cry's, or her voice at all for that matter. "Please don't be dead," was his thought as he kicked in the door.

!$%^&*())(*&^%$!!$%^&*())(*&^%$!!$%^&*())(*&^%$!!

At that moment she wished she had brought Elliot along with her. Cindy was standing in front of her with a gun pointed at her, and Jim was behind her, also holding a gun at her head.

"Cindy, come on. What do you want, I know you don't want to do this." Olivia choose to go for Cindy, in hopes that their relationship would serve to her advantage.

"Olivia I am so sorry, but I have to." Cindy said in tears.

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" Jim yelled. "I'm not the one incharge, and both of you will stop talking and listen to me, understand?" Both girls nodded. "Good, now Detective," Jim spat the word at her, "I want you to lay, face down, on the bed and put YOUR hands behind YOUR back."

Olivia did as she was told, still unsure of what to do. She needed to think and think fast. Cindy was still holding the gun on her, but if she was left alone with her, she knew that she would be able to flip her. Hell, she already had once. She got Cindy to tell her about what happened to her, despite his death threats. So she thought that it was best just to do as she was told, and see where this leads, after all she knew that if she fought back Jim would most likely shoot her without even the slightest bit of hesitation. So she got down on the bed and put her hands behind her back.

"Good, this will go much easier for you if you just listen." Jim stepped over to her and tied her hands behind her back with thick rope. "Detective, trust me, I will not hurt you if you cooperate, but trust me with this also, you fight me you will be hurt, if not worse, if you know what I mean. Beside's its not you I want." With that he pulled her up to a standing position and marched her to the door.

'Come on Olivia think'Olivia thought to herself. She decided what she was going to do, and it just might work, if she played it just right. When they entered the living room she looked at the lock on the front door. It was unlocked. Now she set her plan in motion.

"What do you want from me? I really will be good, just please don't hurt me. I mean I wont fight back or nuthin." Olivia said in the most innocent, scared, timid, feminine voice she could muster. She had to get him distracted.

"You will find out soon enough." Was Jim's brief reply.

'Shit,' Olivia thought, 'That was suppose to do something, he didn't even loosen his grip. If I don't do something soon, then I will be out that door with no possibility of escape. It's now or never Benson, this might be your only chance' With that Olivia leaped out of his grasp with such force that he was knocked over. She was mere feet from the front door. She silently thanked her teacher in the academy for teaching her how to hold her hands when she was being tied up, so as to when she is ready, they drop like water from her wrists. And it worked, the ropes were gone, but when she grabbed the door knob, she felt like that arm was going to fall off. She heard the sound, and she knew what happened, but no matter the pain she still needed to move. She had a bullet hole in her arm, and she wasn't expecting it. Before she could turn the knob, Jim had her by the back of the hair. He pulled her close to his chest, and put the gun to her temple.

"Do that again and your brains will be all over your clothes." He growled in her ear. "Cindy get the door."

Cindy was about to open the door when there was a loud crash, and she went flying backwards. She yelped in pain. So did Olivia, because Jim tightened his grip around her waist and pushed the gun harder into her temple.

"Olivia!" Elliot exclaimed.

"Um El, just do what he says."

Elliot was pointing his gun in the general direction of his partner and her captor, when Gitano flashed through his head. He now knew why his partner had such a struggle to shoot Gitano when he held him.

Olivia saw Elliot's internal conflict, and she knew exactly what he was thinking, when he looked straight into his eyes, tears started to fall from hers.

"Elliot, its ok. I know. I know you didn't …" Olivia was interrupted by pain shooting through her head, followed by a loud "SHUT UP" from Jim.

'El I know you didn't mean what you said.' Olivia told Elliot by looking deep into his eyes and reading them the way only partners of 10 could do.

'Liv, I see your conflict, and I understand why you didn't… couldn't shoot. I know because I am feeling the same way, please forgive me.'

'I already did El, a long time ago. Elliot, just get me the hell outta here.'

They continued looking into each others eyes and talking through them. That was until Jim caught them looking really weird, and pulled Olivia toward the door.

"Enough, were getting outta here, and Elliot, you will stay here, or I will shoot your partner and you will be wearing her brains on you jacket." Jim said

A/N; Again I appologise for the delay in posting, I hope this chapter makes up for it. It didn't go the way I wanted it to, but that is ok. A lot will come into focus in the next chapter, and the questions you have might be answered. But feel free to ask any question, and please, please, please, please, review. They will make me happy, and when I'm happy Olivia will live *evil laugh* so review because I am holding her hostage, for review ransom!
