Chapter 7
When Elliot woke up 15 minutes later, he smelled coffee being made.
" Liv?" he called out, assuming she was in the kitchen. But she wasn't there. Maybe she went to get food?…But she would've left a note…Elliot shrugged and went back to get dressed. But when he entered the living room, he saw that the rug had been rumpled. He leaned down to fix it, when he saw it. Olivia's gun, lying under the coffee table. She never went anywhere without it. And even if she did, she would never be so stupid and careless as to leave it under the coffee table.
" Olivia? Liv! Olivia!!" Elliot shouted through his apartment. His calls echoed through, and reverberated back to him. That's when his mind went into panic mode. Shit! Shit shit shit! I was supposed to be protecting her! SHIT! Elliot thought furiously, as he finished getting dressed, grabbed his gun, cell phone, and jacket. He considered taking Olivia's gun, but left it in its place for CSU to check it for prints. When he got down to his car, he called Cragen.
" Cap? It's Elliot…she's…shit…" Elliot trailed off, so distracted that he was unable to form a coherent thought.
" Elliot? What's wrong? Calm down, what's wrong? Is Olivia ok?" Cragen asked worriedly. He heard Elliot take a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself down.
" Shit…no. She's gone. I woke up, her gun was under my coffee table, her clothes still on the floor, everything. The coffee pot was still on. Shit! I screwed up. I'm on my way, send CSU over to my apartment. I left everything as I found it, minus my clothes, badge and gun, and my jacket and keys."
"Ok. See you in a few minutes." Cragen said. He then went out into the bullpen to talk to Fin and Munch.
" Ok guys, we have a problem. Liv's gone," Fin and John's faces paled. " Elliot woke up, her gun was under his coffee table, her clothes still on the floor, everything. Elliot's on his way, but he's a bit of wreck, so we need to get moving. I sent CSU over to Elliot's apartment already, so now we need to get to work." Cragen said, reiterating what Elliot had told him.
Fin quickly jumped into cop/protective older brother mode. Olivia was his little sister, and he'd be damned if he anything, anything at all happen to her. " Do we know anything about our perps?"
" Other than the emails, no. But they might have sent something new. I'll check my email right now." Elliot said, walking through the doors of the 1-6. He quickly started his computer and opened his emails. He was right, there was a new email.
Hello again Elliot,
How have you been lately? Pretty worried about your girlfriend, aren't you? Your precious Olivia, as my partner so kindly puts it. I wonder if she's as good as she was before…anyway, you've got 3 days to find her before my partner gets fed up and decides to kill her. Good Luck.
Elliot's brow furrowed…before…before…and what did they mean about "Precious Olivia"?
" Ok, I know this sounds crazy, and probably stupid, but who do we know that Olivia slept with?" Fin, John and Cragen all looked at him as if he were crazy.
" Why? Jealous Stabler?" Munch asked, trying to lighten the mood a little. Elliot threw him a cold glare that could've caused hell to freeze over.
" Because in the email, it says, 'I wonder if she's as good as she was before…'" Elliot trailed off again, because that's when the reality of it hit him. The bastards (whoever they were) were planning on raping and maybe killing her. FUCK.
" We've got 3 days to find her. Or she's dead."
OOoOoOoOoOoOo
When Olivia woke up, she didn't know where she was. All she knew was that it was dark, damp, and smelled like the ocean, which probably meant they were in a warehouse near the harbor. The other thing that she knew was that her head hurt like hell and her gun was missing. Somehow though, she managed to keep her cell phone.
" Good morning Detective. So nice to see you awake." A female's voice came from within the shadows. I recognize that voice…but from where?? Olivia racked her brain, trying to remember, but couldn't come up with anything.
" You're probably wondering how I managed to knock you unconscious all by myself." She stepped forward to reveal herself. Olivia gasped.
" Dani Beck. You bitch!" she spat. Dani became furious and flew forward, slapping and punching her repeatedly until she bled. Olivia was chained to a brick wall, so she couldn't move. She spat the taste of blood out of her mouth and bit back an angry retort for fear of being hit again.
" Now, as I was saying before you so rudely interrupted me, you're probably wondering how I did this by myself. Too bad I didn't. I had help." She smiled smugly.
" By the way Olivia, how's Elliot doing?" A new voice came. This one was male, and Olivia also recognized it. But this one she remembered and hated with a furious passion. Brian Cassidy. That asshole.
" Cassidy…you ass!" Olivia whispered furiously. Dani made a move towards Olivia again, but Brian stopped her.
" Now, now Dani. We don't want to put her in too much pain just yet. Give the others a chance to start looking for her." Brian laughed.
" Like they'll ever find you." Dani scoffed as she and Brian left. Olivia kicked the ground with her heel, and pulled on the chain. Somehow, she wasn't sure how, she managed to get one hand free, but the chain was too high for her to reach and free her other hand. She felt her cell phone slip out of her pocket and opened it. She quickly wrote a text message to Elliot and prayed that he got it.
Haha, bet you guys weren't expecting Dani, were you?? Oh wait, you read the last chapter, so I guess you were. But how about Brian? You probably didn't even think about him!! Did anyone catch the line from one of the season 8 episodes??? PM me if you did! R&R please!!
