Chapter 15

A/N: Here are some answers to a few questions before I jump into writing this next chapter.

I was totally on-board until "Can't we all go inside and talk about this?" WTF
Hey maybe I missing something and you know exactly what you are doing cause
you were excellent to this point. That line was a set up, don't worry, I will address this in this chapter.

Either Alex is about to tell Olivia what happen or hell I just don't know
because you have a few things dangling at the moment. Would Alex not tell? Maybe it wasn't the right moment.

1. Alex was a SVU prosecutor and in WPP so she would so tell, isn't that why
Hammond showed up. Hammond was there to give Alex what she needed: Olivia.

2. Speaking of Hammond?? Hammond will be back. I said in a previous chapter that they would be moving after two days of Olivia being there. This is the morning of the second day.

3. So they are moving Alex because? Luis possibly or did marshals find out
about Olivia she showed up putting Alex in danger? They are moving because Alex requested that she and Olivia be moved so she could start over fresh with her girlfriend. She never mentioned being in any kind of danger to Hammond.

4. There is no way in hell Luis would be able to get to Alex just before she
is going to be moved to a safe house. She isn't being moved to a safe house, see the answer above.

5. Olivia is going to be so pissed when she finds out about what Luis did and
Alex said I need to be honest only tells Olivia about Luis but left out the
fact that he beat the crap out of Alex. (Not good, not good at all especially
after Olivia traveled half way across the country and then figuratively died
for the 'Love of her Life' It wasn't the right timing. Alex will come around and tell Olivia, but will it be too late?

So thank you everyone for reading. I am sorry that I left people wondering what the heck was going on, but thank you for the questions because what is clear in my mind when I read this story and what I forgot to put in there sometimes makes a huge difference. I hope you enjoy this chapter since I am up at 3am working on it.

Go inside and talk is all Alex wanted to do and if Olivia was there maybe Luis wouldn't hurt her again. She wouldn't in a million years tell Olivia what happened because she wouldn't be able to keep her cool. Olivia would go crazy if she knew.

They all went inside and Alex explained to Luis that she and Olivia are together and that they would be getting back together. Luis seemed like he understood and kissed Alex on the cheek and left quietly.

He took that better than Alex thought he would.

"Why the hell didn't he act like a normal person who just got their ass dumped by a beautiful woman?"

"I am not sure Liv, people in Oregon are not quite like people back in new York City." Alex answered a little unsteady.

"Why do I feel that there is something that you are not telling me?"

"I honestly don't know why your Detective side is poking out, but do you really have to interrogate me now? I need to pack."

"Alex!"

"What?"

"Forget about packing, let's just celebrate that we get to be together and all alone."

"What did you have in mind Liv?"

Olivia walked closer to Alex and grabbed her by the hand. She slowly led her upstairs while placing subtle sexy kisses on her neck. Alex fell limp almost to her lover's touch. They had made it up to the bedroom and Olivia threw Alex onto the bed. Alex tried to fight back tears, but didn't do a very good job of it as she started crying painfully at what Luis had done to her only two nights ago.

"Baby, what's wrong? We don't have to do this if you aren't ready. You know I will love you either way, no matter what."

Olivia took her lover into her embrace, but must have caught one of Alex's tender spots as she wept out in even more pain. Olivia knew exactly what was wrong at that moment. She lifted Alex's shirt without saying a word to see the most horrifying sight she had seen in a long while.

As her eyes never moved from Alex's body, she could see patches of black, blue, and purple bruises. They were everywhere. They were all over her stomach, sides, and back.

Alex continued to lie there and without realizing Olivia was crying, Alex finally said something.

"It was Luis."

Olivia already knew that, but what she didn't know is why the hell the strongest woman she had come to know would take shit like that from anyone. She dealt with these people, defending the rights of people exactly like her; people who were abused. She fought all her adult life to find them justice.

"He isn't going to get away with this Alex, I will make him pay for what he did to you if it the last thing I do here in Oregon or even for the rest of my life!"

"Calm down Liv, I am fine."

"Fine?!? Fine flew out the mother fucking window when that mother fucker came into your life, not to mention that he HIT you and way more than once from what I can tell! Where the hell is the Alex Cabot I know?"

"You don't understand! He was the only one who would want anything to do with me; the night before you came he found my journal like I told you before. He found out who I really was and he found out that I was gay. He didn't do it because I had lied to him, he did it to me because I am gay and because I love you."

"He isn't going to get away with this; I don't care Alex, how he gets punished, but as long as you get what you need: justice."

"I understand Liv, we will tell Hammond ok?"

"Yes we will, but right now, you should finish packing up and I am going to get something for us to eat."

"Promise you won't do anything stupid?"

"I just need to let some steam off. I will bring back a pizza for us alright?"

"Ok baby, I love you."

"I love you too Alex."

Olivia wasn't stupid; after all she was a seasoned Detective. If Alex wasn't going to get herself justice, by all means, Olivia would get it for her. She had noticed that Alex left her BlackBerry on the kitchen table and she went to pick it up.

"This is going to be easier than I thought it would be." Olivia thought to herself. She had found the work address for Alex and Luis's home address. Since it was a Sunday, she figured that she should start out at Luis's home.

She took Alex's car and on her own cell phone she looked up the directions to his house. Once she pulled up outside, she noticed that his car was in the driveway. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Luis answered.

"I think we should talk. May I come in?"

Luis nodded. "You got my girl what else could you possibly want to talk about?"

"Just a few small things since I haven't seen Alex in what seems like forever."

"Ok, ask away."

"Ok, Luis, when did you first start seeing her?"

"A few months back."

"Ok, and did she ever talk about me or mention even my name?"

"Only in her sleep one night. She was saying your name."

"Ok and when did you think it would ever be ok to fucking hit her?!?"

Olivia exploded and threw him into the wall.

"That bitch! It was her own damn fault!"

"Maybe I didn't introduce myself correctly, my name is Detective Benson and I swear to God if you ever go near Alex again, I will chop your balls off you son of a bitch!"

Olivia's skin was crawling and her blood boiling; she was so pissed off her face was beet red. She punched Luis in the face and stomach until he dropped to the floor. Once on the floor she kicked him and when she had an open shot she kicked him so hard in the groin he cried.

"That last one was because you hurt her because she was gay."

Olivia then left Luis and made her way to the pizza place where she grabbed a Coke and tried to calm herself down before returning to her lover.
