A/N: I know I haven't updated in FOREVER…but I finally found this story and decided I should write some more. I hope you guys like it :] I also tried to make it a bit longer...

"I want this whole place surrounded but no tips. We do not want Duke to know we're here yet. Detective Benson and I will be going in first and six unis will follow suite. Everyone understand?"

"Yes Detective Stabler. We got it."

Elliot took a deep breathe through his nose and slowly let it out.

"…Okay…we're moving in now."

Elliot, Olivia right behind, and their six unis went in single file with guns already drawn to the office door of the warehouse. Elliot reached his sweaty hand to the knob and breathed a sigh of relief when it turned easily. Let's see how far we can go undetected, he thought. All eight cops quietly entered the office and stopped to wait for the command to enter. This was a giant warehouse with four different sections to cover.

"Okay," Elliot whispered while they were still inside the sanctuary of the warehouse office. "Davis and Brecken take North, Jacobi and Jagielski take West, Sawyer and Scott take East and Benson and I will take South. Okay use you radios if it is absolutely vital," Elliot stressed, "We want as little noise as possible…"

"Helloooooooo Pigs!" Elliot was interrupted by the voice on the intercom.

"What the?" The cops looked around. We are in the office, Olivia thought, how the hell does Duke have access to the speaker?

"I see what you're doing and I know your plan," the voice continued on, "Let's just say I have ears all over this place. Fine, split up. Do what you want. I mean, after all it's your chase but take my word when I say only two of you will survive this game of cat and mouse. Only two will reach the goal. The goal of course being me and two possibly alive teenage girls. So let the games begin gentlemen and ladies. I've been waiting for you.

"Sir, do you think there are more men than him?"

"Don't know Jagielski… Okay. Your orders are clear. Let's go and do what we're bound to do: protect and serve."

The paired officers slowly and cautiously exited the door of their haven. By twos they moved towards their desired locations.

"Protect and serve El?"

"Hey I'm not the speech giver. You are. So what happened I thought you said you wanted lead in there?"

"I…I did. I don't know what happened. I'm just so scared Elliot. I've never felt like this before. I love that girl so much and so help me God if I lose her…"

"Liv, don't talk like that please."

"Yeah…you're right." They were almost to the South section of the warehouse.

"Hey Liv…I just wanted you to know that I…I umm…I'm going to do everything I can to save our girls."

"Oh. Yeah, El…me too."

"Why hello Lovelies!"

Olivia and Elliot turned the corner to stare straight into the eyes of the man who has taken their life and has left them in suspense.

"Officers" Olivia barked into their radio. "Every officer to the South section of the warehouse NOW!"

"Ah now that's cute. The whole calling into your walkie like there's going to be a response coming back. I told you detectives two would survive….and I chose you two."

Olivia immediately noticed the device Duke had his hand grasping. Better keep him talking. "No officers to enter the building I repeat no officers to enter the building….Chose Duke?"

"Why yes of course. I wanted the both of you to find me. Oh, and don't worry about the others…they've been properly disposed of. Oh I'm just so excited this plan is working out so brilliantly! Absolutely brilliantly. I knew you would choose the South section, yes sir. Just knew it!"

"Cut the crap Duke, where are they?" Elliot practically roared.

"Woah Big El, calm down mate," Duke said slowly while grinning. "All your anger is starting to make me nervous, and when I get nervous my hands get sweaty. Sometimes so sweaty my fingers slip and accidently push things that shouldn't be…detonated…yet."

"Tell us what you want Duke." Elliot said obviously more calmly.

"Well, well. Willing to negotiate already Detective? Aren't we eager?"

"Come on Duke…"Olivia said trying to take a less hostile approach.

Duke stared at their faces and took in their expressions. "Sadly for you Detectives I don't want anything; except to see you suffer. Once I see your expressions after you hear your kids being blown to tiny pieces, so sorry you can't see but I think their screams will be enough… well at that moment my life goals will be complete. You can kill me for all I care. I think by now you've realized this isn't going to be a "new beginning" for me, I'm not looking for a fresh start after this stint. Hell, I'm not even sure I want to live anymore…but one thing I am sure of: I want the both of you to be in so much pain and experience so much guilt you're going to want to kill yourself. Kind of morbid I guess, but as always, not for me. And soon…you'll know exactly what I'm feeling."

Olivia started towards Duke. "I don't think so Liv! One step closer I'll push this button and if you listen closely you'll hear the bomb ticking ten seconds before it…"

BANG!

Olivia and Elliot were staring at their personal terrorist who was now gushing blood from the left side of his chest. The detonating device dropped from his hands safely to the floor.

"What the?" Olivia looked around.

"Protect and Serve. Right Detectives?" Olivia and Elliot's gazes fell to the man lying some feet away from the "Racer".

"…Jagielski?"

"Yes," they heard him croak.

"You okay officer?" Olivia shouts as she runs over to him. She helps him up and sees the wound in his leg.

"Liv? Duke is still breathing." Elliot says and kneels down to the thing he hates the most

"Is he conscious El?"

"Duke where are they? Answer me Duke!"

A small smile comes across the "Racer's" face. He whispers, "They are…aren't they? They're what you love the most." He takes one more painful breathe, "Well then good luck finding them…"

"Duke! Duke! Fucking answer me!" Elliot screams pounding his fists onto the chest of the dead man.

"Elliot!" Olivia yells. "You can't help me find them if you're like this! Call for back up! We need as much manpower to find our girls and we need to get Jagielski out of here. His bleeding has worsened."

"Captain. We need EMT's and as many men as possible in this warehouse. Duke Bunton is dead and we have an officer wounded."

"…Elliot…your girls?"

"Not yet captain. But I'm not worried." He turns and makes eye contact with Olivia and continues, "They are after all what we love the most."
