Chapter 13:

A/N: I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far. I am having a blast writing it for you guys. If you want to see something happen, please let me know. Sorry for the lack of Olivia in this chapter. Read, review, and most importantly beg SVU to keep Cabot :)

Alex hung up the phone and prayed that her and the love of her life would be able to see each other. Olivia was all the way on New York City missing Alex, but she knew that there had to be a way for them to be together.

Olivia walked into the squad room and saw her partner asleep at his desk. She walked over to Elliot and nudged him.

"What the hell Liv, I was sleeping."

"I need to talk to you about something that happened to me tonight. I… spoke to Alex…"

"Liv, you shouldn't have. You could get her into trouble."

"I know El, but she called me and she told me her name was Emily and that. . ."

Olivia broke into tears and her partner pulled her close. He knew how much his partner was hurting over the woman she loved.

"El, she asked me if I still loved her."

"I know you do Liv, and so does she."

"I need to go see her. I need to, nothing more, nothing less, it is a necessity. Cragen doesn't know about Alex being alive, but I guess I need to take emergency personal time, but I don't know what I should say you know, El?"

"Do what you have to Liv, I will back you up and support you."

About two weeks later, Olivia received a phone call from another strange number.

"Detective Benson."

"Liv, it is me EMILY, remember?"

"Yes hun, I remember. I miss you and want to see you."

"I know we are breaking the rules of you know, but I have to see you too Olivia, I cannot live without you."

"Where are you Em?"

"Oregon."

"I will be coming to see you. I took emergency vacation time so I could come and see you whenever you told me where you were."

"I love you Olivia."

"I love you too Al, umm I mean Em."

They hung up the phones and Olivia immediately began to pack for Oregon. She called Cragen and informed him that there had been something in her life that had come up and it was critical that she leave to Oregon first thing in the morning and that she would keep him informed when she was ready to talk about it. All night Olivia couldn't sleep.

Alex was with Luis that night since she was really lonely. Luis had brought over some flowers and chocolates for her. They sat on the couch and watched old re-runs of Cops. Alex was immediately reminded on her detective, the love of her life. Before long Alex was shaken out of her flashback.

"Emily." Luis stated worried.

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah I am fine, sorry," Alex replied, but not sincerely sorry.

"Who is Olivia?"

"No one."

"Em, you can tell me anything, you know that, right? I love you."

Those words made Alex physically sick. She got up and desperately ran to the bathroom. After ten minutes of continuous vomiting Alex stood up, fixed her hair, and went back out to find Luis looking through her journal.

"What the hell are you doing Luis?!?"

"Sorry, I was just peeking, sorry Emily, or should I call you ALEX?!?"

"Give me that now!"

"Fuck you! How long were you planning on lying to me? Huh?"

"It is not what is seems. I wish that I could tell you more and why, but it doesn't work that way."

"You lying bitch! I read about Olivia! You aren't even fucking straight!" Luis shouted.

Luis moved closer to Alex and shoved her into the wall. Alex began to cry silently as Luis started to deliver blows to her face, neck, and body. Alex fell to the ground as Luis started to kick her. Alex finally let out a cry.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"To teach you a lesson! You can't just lie to people and get away with it. You played with my emotions, made me fall in love with you, all while you were lying to me about everything you are. You are a stupid bitch! Did you think that I would never find out?"

"It is really not what you think!" Alex started as she thought breaking the rules would be alright if it would save her life. "I was placed into Witness Protection after a Columbian Drug Cartel I was prosecuting tried to have me killed. Please stop," Alex begged.

Luis stopped and pulled Alex onto the couch where he demanded that Alex tell him the whole story, so she complied with Luis's requests.

"I am so sorry Alex. I am very very sorry; I thought you were lying to me by choice. I thought you were cheating on me. I hope you can forgive me."

"Fuck you Luis, you just beat the shit out of me and you expect me to just up and forgive you?!? You sure are a piece of work. I put assholes like you in prison for life!"

"You used to! Not anymore. You work for me now and you will not mention what happened between us to anyone. Do you understand?" Luis asked forcefully as he held her by her neck.

"Yes I do," Alex whimpered.

Luis shoved her back onto the couch and left her there.

The next day Alex didn't show up for work.
