So you guys may have noticed I erased the last two chapters. I felt they were leading the story in the wrong direction and I plan to put that idea into a different story in the future. So we're back to Lexi at the door. What's beyond it this time? Read on to find out and please review!

Chapter Six: Beyond the Door and the First Clue

I heard his groaning in the bed. My hand was throbbing and I got to the door to find out there was five locks on it. I got to the third one when I heard him starting to get up.

Click.

The fourth one was hard. I could hear his footsteps. Come on!

Click.

Yes! The fifth one was just a chain. I opened it and as I turned the handle I felt him grab my hair. I screamed. I flew my elbow back and didn't hit anything. I flew my other elbow back and I hit something hard. Thump.

I opened the door and didn't look back. Instead I looked forward and saw stairs. There was nowhere else to go so I ran up them. The door at the top had three locks. They were all easy, but I heard him coming up after me. His hand wrapped around my ankle.
"Noooo!" I started kicking but he grabbed my other ankle and pulled me down, but not before I could open the door.

What I saw scared me and my body went limp. It couldn't be possible, it just wasn't possible. My mind came back to me and I felt myself being dragged down the stairs. My ribs were now in so much pain but I couldn't feel it anymore. I was in shock.

He was limping but threw me on the floor and bolted the door again.

"Bitch! You ruined everything!" he threw the chair against the wall. It shattered.

I finally got a good look around and saw that, it was in fact true. Upstairs beyond the door and here inside…

…a tomb. We're in a cemetery.

Elliot's POV:

Elizabeth was sitting on a chair next to my desk crying. I asked her to go home. I told her we were doing everything we could.

"Stabler, my office now." Cragen said standing in his doorway.

Elizabeth stood up. "It's okay" I said to her and she sat back down as Olivia handed her some coffee.

I shut the door and sat down. "Yes captain?"

"Elliot, you know you can't work on this case. It's against policy."

"Captain please, this is my daughter, my little girl. I need to help find her. I just can't sit around and do nothing." I was angry and stood up without realizing it.

"Elliot sit down. Look I can let you stay here and do desk work then if anything comes in you will be the first to know. I'm not breaking policy now. I know this is serious and we are doing everything we can. Munch and Finn are out there right now. And the lab is looking into the video for anything we can find. "

I put my head into my hands.

"There's one more thing as well." He stood up and walked to the window which led to the interrogation room beyond it. He opened the blinds and I saw my daughter's best friend, Alicia Worthington, sitting at the table.

"Our first clue" He said looking at her.

"Huh?"
