Watching, Waiting

Olivia was woken up as she felt the boat jerk. She sat up on the bed, she hadn't really been in that deep asleep, how could she sleep at a time like this. She noticed it was suddenly quiet. The engine had been on but had now stopped.

She got up off the bed and looked out of the window. They were at the dock. Outside she could see him tying off the boat onto the boardwalk. She tried to see if anyone else was around, but the guy was smart he had pulled up in the quietest part, and it was only about 5.00am, no one would be around for hours yet.

Suddenly she felt her lungs tighten and she started to cough again, she wrapped her arms around her stomach as it felt like it was getting all torn up by her constant coughing, the hunger pains she had didn't help.

She moved across the room she needed water and there was a glass by the bed. She grabbed it and went to take a swig but began coughing too much, she put her hand over her mouth as she began to taste blood.

Eventually she was able to take a long swig of the water it seemed to sooth her coughing fit. She looked at her hand, there was more blood. Her chest felt heavy and her body had been shaking so hard when she coughed that she'd pulled some stitches and the hole in her shoulder was bleeding.

She heard the door open behind her, she wanted to turn and face him but her body ached at the slightest movement so for now she was happy to stay still. That is until she felt Andrews wrap his arms around her waist she pulled at them and tried to break free but her shoulder wouldn't allow her any of the strength needed to pull him off her.

He used his head to move hers to the side, he started to kiss her neck, then he moved one arm and pulled a syringe out of his pocket, he stabbed it into her neck and released the liquid.

He let her fall onto the bed. She was holding the spot on her neck it was bleeding a little. "That was another sedative. I have to go shopping we have no food in and nothing personal but I just don't trust you enough to leave you on here awake, alone."

She listened to him for as long as she could, but as her head began to spin she could feel herself slipping under. She fell back onto her back and was out.

Elliot, Munch and Fin had walked miles but now they all stood together on a quiet boardwalk, there were only a few boats around. "I think we should start knocking on doors, so to speak, someone on these boats may have seen something." Fin said.

"I agree." Munch said.

Elliot nodded. They separated and started to find any boats where it looked like someone may be onboard.

After twenty minutes they all ended up at the end of the board walk. "Anything?" Elliot asked them both. "I found two boats where there were people the first was an old couple the second was a woman, put it this was she was no Julia Roberts from pretty woman but they work for the same boss." Fin said.

Munch and Elliot both nodded, knowing full well what he meant. "I got nothing." Munch told them. "Me neither." Said Elliot, he scanned around looking for any more boats they hadn't already looked at. He spotted one off in the corner. He walked towards it. It was kind of hidden behind another bigger boat.

The other two followed him. "Excuse me, Hello!" He shouted slightly he was hoping there was someone onboard who would hear him and come out and speak to them.

"Elliot look!" Elliot looked at Munch, he was staring at the boat he turned and looked at what he was looking at, blood. There was a smear of blood up the side of the boat, over the name 'The Fair Lady'.

Something sparked in Elliot he dove onto the rail of the boat and hauled himself over it. The other two although slightly behind on his lead copied. He ran down a set of stairs there was a door ahead of him, there was blood on that to. "Olivia!" He yelled, he hadn't actually meant to but it had just sort of came out.

He started throwing himself against the door trying to barge it down. By this time Munch and Fin had joined him. Elliot stepped back slightly then kicked the door as hard as he could, it flew open.

He stopped dead by what he saw. Olivia was lying on a bed, she wasn't moving, he ran over to her, she was wearing a long black night dress, it was silk any other time he may have stopped to admire her in it but not now…

He placed his fingers on her neck, he sighed a breath of release as he felt a pulse. He scooped her up into his arms. "I'm getting you out of here Liv." He walked past Munch and Fin carrying a motionless Olivia.

Paul watched as the three men stepped off his boat. They had Olivia, they had his Olivia and they were taking her. He threw the bags of food he had down on the floor. He was so pissed, he was kicking himself inwardly for being so stupid and leaving her there, unguarded, unprotected. Now these other men had her.

He could do nothing but watch them…

Cragen walked up to Fin and Munch. They were in the hospital waiting for news from Elliot who was with Olivia. "Well?" Cragen asked as he caught up to them.

"She's gonna be fine, she has some water on her lungs but they can clear that up quite easy for her with meds. She has some minor burns from the explosion, a few scrapes and bruises. They've tried giving her pain killers but she's refused them." Fin told him.

"She was shot. Elliot's finding out by whom now." Munch continued. Cragen nodded dreading having to ask the next question on his mind because he dreaded the answer he may get.

"Did they do a rape exam?" He asked in one breath.

"Yes. It was negative." Munch said gladly.

"Thank God for that." Cragen said, able to sigh with a breath of relief. "Can we see her?"

"Sure you can." Elliot answered. He was stood in the door way holding the swinging door open for them to come inside.

Olivia pushed herself up in the bed as she saw them enter. "Hey guys." She said, sounding a little raspy. She had a tube that hooked into her nose and she was attached to other machines. Fin notice she had regained some of her colour since they had rescued her from the boat.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you I had to interview people for your replacement they where all crazy, real big on government conspiracies." Munch said playfully.

"Yea right." She said placing an arm around his shoulder to hug him.

"You can never be serious can you, not once." Fin said to Munch.

"Don't blame me it's a birth defect, blame my mother." Munch said joking again.

"There you go again." Fin said throwing his arms in the air. "I give up I really do." He continued.

Olivia laughed at them a little but ended up coughing again. Elliot stood up next to her and rubbed the top of her back, then passed her the glass of water that was next to her bed. She took a swig and eventually stopped coughing.

"You okay?" Elliot asked her.

She nodded and sat back into the fluffy pillow behind her. "Have you found him yet?" She asked them, addressing no-one in particular.

They all stayed quiet. "I'll take that as a no." She said, unable to hide some of the worry in her voice.

"Liv we're gonna look after you till we find him." Fin said protectively.

"Yea I know I just I don't want him doing what he did to me to some other woman." She said feeling guilty for not having kicked his ass enough to stop him from being able to hurt another woman.

Fin and Munch were sat at there desks. They were on their computers searching what leads they had on Andrews. "He had a property in Queens with his wife but after her death in 2006 he sold it and that's when he purchased his boat." Munch said.

"I found an article here about him, says he lost his medical license in 2005." Fin said reading off the computer.

"What for?" Cragen asked. He was perched on Elliot's desk trying to learn everything about the man whose intention it had been to eventually kill one of his best detectives.

"Doesn't say." Fin answered.

"What about using drugs to detain people..?" Cragen said, making the sarcastic remark instead of Munch for once.

"Hey does it say how his wife died?" Fin asked him.

"Drug induced coma." Munch said matter-of-factly.

"What drugs?" Cragen asked.

"Sedative's..." Munch replied.

Elliot pushed her front door open then walked her inside holding her arm to support her. "Elliot, I appreciate you seeing me to my apartment, but I can walk by myself you' know." She said trying not to sound too ungrateful.

"Hey I'm looking after you, will you just shut-up and let me." She laughed at him and allowed him to help her to her couch.

The Doctors had wanted her to stay in but she hated hospitals more than any place on earth so she had point blank refused to stay and no one could persuade her different.

Once she was sat down, Elliot pulled the blanket from off the back of the chair and placed it around her legs and tucked it tight around them. "I'm gonna get you a hot drink." He said going into the kitchen before she had a chance to say she didn't want one.

By the time he walked back into the living room with two hot drinks, one for her and one for him, he found her fast asleep on the couch. He had to smile she was all scrunched up on the small couch.

He placed the drinks down on the coffee table and picked her up. He walked over to her bed and managed to hold her in one arm as he pulled the blankets back, she had her arms wrapped around his neck. He placed her down onto the bed, she stretched out and he put the blankets back over her.

He turned to return to the couch. "Stay here with me." She said, not opening her eyes.

"I am honey I'll be on the couch." He informed her.

"No, stay here, please. It'll make me feel safe." He looked at her as she spoke. She'd opened her eyes now and was using them to plead with him. He could never resist her eyes. "Scoot up." He said as he got on the bed.

He was on top of the covers but she snuggled into his side, her head resting on his chest, she sighed and closed her eyes again. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and held her close to him. He was so happy to have her back he could just hold her for the rest of her life.

Outside her apartment they had no idea that DR Paul Andrews had watched them go in, now he just had to wait for the chance where he could get to her and they could be alone, he had to talk to her. He was missing her already.
