EOforevertogether WOW lol MASSIVE review and I read it just before posting the next chapter so that was awesome x *Gives a Gold Star* XD

One thing- Is everyone familiar with the magician Houdini? :/ Just in case you're not- Houdini performed a famous trick where he was under water in a water tank and escaped cuffs and a straight jacket. You might wonder why I'm asking, it'll make sense when you're reading.

Chapter 15- Devil's Dessert

Slowly the light seeped through her eyelids. She rowned against the sting it caused in her dilated pupils. She took a shuddered breath, finding sweet relief in her unblocked airway.

"That's it, Liv; take a breath." came a voice.

She peeked her eyes open and everything came in to view, Elliot and Fin beside him, both kneeling on the floor. She pushed away the embarressment as she noticed she was lying on the floor, something soft under her head.

"What happened?" she said in confusion; the last thing she remembered was Harris flying towards her, his voice booming in her ears. She quickly looked around.

"It's ok, he's in interrogation still. Cragen's dealing with the guard who conveiniently forgot to cuff Harris to the table." Elliot confirmed, frowning at the guard who said they 'didn't realise he needed to be detained.' 'Stupid rookies' he cursed, but he had a feeling it wasn't unintentional.

As Olivia tried to sit up her head pounded. "What-?" she was about to repeat.

"Panic attack." Fin replied. "My neighbour's kid had them all the time. You're just lucky superman here," he indicated to Elliot. "-Caught you before your head hit the floor."

Olivia groaned as they helped her to her feet. she saw Fin pull his folded jacket from the floor, dust it down and slip it back on. She noticed Elliot watching her but she didn't want to admit that he was right, that she'd made the wrong decision. She simply rolled the tight muscles in her neck.

"Give me a munute and I'll go back in."

Before Elliot could even form a sentence, Fin interjected. "Are you crazy?" he almost yelled. He continued as she began to argue. "This is me saying this Liv, not lovey dovey Elliot; you are not going back in there!" he said in an uncomprimising tone. "Even if I have to lock you in the cage myself." he added, storming away.

Olivia looked to Elliot but from his expression she could tell he was siding with Fin on this one and wouldn't be any help.

xXx

A few minutes later she was on the safe side of the glass, now observing the vuffed and calmer Harris. Cragen had restricted Elliot access, claiming a dead suspect wasn't very responsive during an interrogation. Elliot had huffed but otherwise retreated quietly with Olivia to observation.

Munch was stood near the window, backing up Fin, less than impressed with the scum before him. Fin opened the file in front of him and got straight to the point.

"Mind tellin' us how your DNA got in to a Manhattan apartment while you were still behind bars?"

Harris gave a satisfied grin. "Magic?" he offered. "I'm Houdini?" he continued to challenge. "What can I say, I'm everywhere." he said, his eyes wandering to the mirror opposite him. "You can't get rid of me." he said, with a tone that sounded more than off hand.

Olivia gave a visible shiver despite her thick sweater jacket; Elliot regretted not arguing to take the interrogation.

"Hey!" Munch yelled, slamming his fist down on the table beside Harris, who refused to flinch. "You think you're clever because you got out your cuffs? How about I stick your head underwater for 10 minutes and you can pull a Houdini then?" John threatened, his normally leisurable stance now strong and imposing.

Harris merely sat with a smirk, his eyes still on the mirror.

"Look, we don't have time for your games," Fin yelled. "Just tell us what you know."

He could see him considering it, enjoying that he was once again in control of the situation. "I get a deal." Harris finally said.

"You'll get a smack if you keep wastin' my time." Fin replied in rejection of the request.

A flush crossed Harris' brow but he remained calm. "Sorry, can't help you; I don't know anything."

"'Don't know anything'?" Fin jumped up in anger and leaned across the table. "You had a personal party with her panties and left your stain!" Fin barked.

"Sorry Detectives, I'm not familiar with the panties you're referring to." he sneered, an amused shine in his eye and an almost reminiscent look on his face. "But please do pass my compliments to Detective Benson; I'm sure red silk, black lace and purple cotton are gorgeous on her."

Something clicked in Elliot's memory, at the crime sc- her apartment, the panties on the bed were...Elliot flew for the door. He burst through the door, only to collide with Munch and Fin a moment later, blocking his access. Deaths in custody were kind of frowned upon.

"You piece of crap! She's not yours! She'll never be yours!" Elliot yelled at him, pointing his finger at him imperiously.

Olivia stood in the threshold, wanting so bad to pull Elliot out but hesitant to approach.

"She's mine!" harris firmly said back. "I experienced her in ways no other man has or ever will." he goaded.

Cragen's cellphone rang before he could order Elliot out, and he begrudingly left to take the call.

"Are you kidding me?" Elliot scoffed. "You have no idea." Elliot goaded back, trying to put the filth in his place.

Harris' intuition clicked as to what he meant, or more precisely, how Elliot knew this. "You bastard, she's mine!" his raspy voice yelled. "She's my whore-" his face once again red.

"If anyone's a whore it's you!" Elliot yelled back, knocking Harris' confidence slightly. "See, you might be able to pull strings with your CO buddies, but they can't protect you in Gen. Pop, can they?" Lowell's eyes tightened, and his jaw clenched. "I bet your the prison bitch!" Elliot spat, knowing it would rile him up.

Harris lunged at him, causing the table to lurch, as his cuffs strained against his movements.

"Fin, get him out of here," Liv finally ordered, knowing any moment Elliot would go to far and land himself in trouble.

Fin and Munch tried to wrestle Elliot from the room as he was determines not to be the one to break eye contact. Liv watched as they finally got him back on the other side of the glass. A lurch of cuffs made Olivia jump and spin to look at Harris. He was stood up, veins throbbing from his racing heart and temper. His gleaming eyes locked with hers.

"Finally, we're alone," he taunted, shooting her a kiss like acid in her face. His pursed lips then smoothed out in to a smug grin. "How's your head, Olivia?"

She refused to buckle this time and slammed the door in his face, promising herself she would one day walk away from him with her head held high.

xXx

Liv turned to see Elliot clenching and unclenching his fists; a sign he was in need of a punchbag. Fin and Munch were stood either side of him. Elliot huffed as Cragen returned, his cell phone no longer to his ear.

"I'm having Harris transported back-" he began.

"He shouldn't have been brought here in the first place." Elliot fumed.

"He obviously isn't going to tell us anything-" Cragen continued, ignoring his hotheaded Detective.

"Well, hate to point out the obvious, Cap'," Elliot said pointedly.

"Enough, Stabler." Don simply said, not needing to raise his voice in to a shout.

"And just when I thought Elliot could control his temper." John muttered.

"You actually entertained the idea?" Fin replied with raised eyebrows.

"I don't think it was a total waste of time." Liv quietly offered, nkowing the response she would get.

Elliot looked at her in total disbelief. "You damn near suffocate because of him and you think there's something gained?" he harshly said, regretting it almost instantly. 'Liv, there's stubborn and then there's too stubborn for your own good.' he thought incredulously.

She eyes tightened at his dismissal; she wasn't some damn rookie so he was going to hear her out whether he agreed or not. "Well now we know he's definitely involved. So long as we keep him in a cell we can track down whoever he's working with. Maybe we can get them to flip on Harris, that way we can extend his sentence. Hopefully."

There was a moment of silence, as Elliot merely looked at her, his brow still furrowed. Then after a moment, he jumped in to action. He acrossed the room in two wide strides. "You're a genius." he muttered to her, placing a kiss on her forehead, Liv closed her eyes briefly in appreciation of the warm glow that pushed out the cold fears. He then hurried from the room, followed by the others. He began issuing orders; much to Fin's annoyance and John's over-the-glasses look.

"Munch, Fin, you check his call records and visitations. I'm going to get a list of his cellmates; see if any have been released." He reached for his phone.

"That'll have to wait." Cragen said, taking back control. He received a tired look from Elliot, who was keen on the new lead.

Cragen indicated to his cellphone. "That was Melinda. She thinks she has another victim for us."

They all looked confused. If there'd been another victim it would have came through Special Victims before it reached Melinda and the morgue.

"What? How's that possible?" Olivia asked.

"April Benson was killed earlier today. When Melinda read the name on the ID, she immediately called me."

"Whoever's doing this isn't finished yet." Munch added omniously, as if they all needed reminding anyway.

A/N Ok, so Elliot was trying to be calm, but that never really goes as planned so, of course, his anger finally bursts out. I particularly love when he shouts at Harris being the prison Bitch XD Review xx
