Chapter 5

Olivia went home later on in the day her head still reeling from the the words Hunter spoke to her and Elliot. Its been a week since the incident at the locker rooms, and Elliot has been accused of molesting the suspect, a girl was murdered, and they found Hunter (the perp) in the apartment with the blood of his abuser on him.

"I don't know why I do it." he said, his eyes pleading into hers for answers.

"I do." she whispered, understanding.

The exchange played again in her mind. Yes she knew what is was like. The urge to kill the one who had hurt her, the one who had made her vulnerable. At least it was over, and she could go home and get some rest.

As she walked to her door, she thought of Elliot. He's been distant since the locker rooms. He called her Liv, which was good. But still something was wrong between them, something tense. Damn she just couldn't put her finger on it.

She entered her apartment, locked the door behind her, turned on the lights and heater and went to take a shower.

Forty minutes later she was on the couch waiting for her Chinese take-out. Where was Blake? She didn't know; he's been undercover for a week now, so far had only two phone calls. Usually at this time, she was with Elliot. But considering the circumstances…a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Elliot's mind was on Olivia's while he changed Eli. He had appreciated her help with the false allegations, and understood her when they nailed Hunter. But still, he was trying to keep his distance. He didn't want to reveal too much again, like he did before.

Kathy came up behind him as he put Eli to sleep, and wrapped her arms around his back "Hey you."

"Hey beautiful." he smiled, his thoughts still on Olivia. He remembered how Kathy referred her as his office wife, which really did suit her. He was frustrated that she couldn't be his, his real wife. Frustrated how she couldn't see the love and support he was trying to give her. Damn it! He needed to get his mind off of her. He whirled around and kissed Kathy, trying to forget about her.

Olivia took a bite of her organ chicken as her phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey gorgeous."

"Blake?" Liv said, putting down her fork.

"Yes honey. How are you? I miss you." Blake asked, his voice soft.

"Im good. I miss you too. It's really lonely here in New York without you. Do you know when your coming back?"

Blake cleared his throat " I think I need another week or two but Im not sure."

Olivia frowned "Are you getting close on nailing the perps?"

"They started to trust me, which is good." Blake answered.

"Well don't hurt yourself." Liv warned him, worried.

Blake chuckled "Its good to know you care. I wont I promise. I should say the same thing with you. Hows your case going? Did you catch the fourteen year old?"

"Of course I care Blake. How could you think that I don't?" Liv said grinning. "To answer your question I did. Turns out he's been abused by his baby-sitter, so he went and killed her."

"Wow. A fourteen year old serial rapist. I just cant wrap my mind around it, you know?" Blake said amazed "But I'm glad you caught him. But enough about work. How have you been doing? Knowing you just working."

Liv laughed "And sleeping."

"Well get plenty of that because I don't want to come back and see dark circles under your eyes. Hey I gotta go, Ill talk soon, ok?" he hung up after she said her goodbye.

She smiled loving how he cared about her, and worried about her. It was just nice to have someone like that, to know someone at least thought she mattered. She finished her food, washed the dishes and went to get some sleep.

The next morning, Olivia woke up suddenly and sprinted to the bathroom. She barley made it in time. She threw open the lid of the toilet, and threw up. When she was done, she rinsed her mouth. No more Chinese. That food did not agree with her stomach. She rubbed at her stomach, and went to get some medicine. She felt dizzy also, and kind of faint. Was she sick? She sat down on the coach, and tried to steady herself.

Whats wrong with Olivia? Is she really sick or is it something else? ;) Ill try to update soon! Review!
