Author's note: Sorry I'm taking so long with these chapters but I'm actually working on 2 stories right now and I'm busy and all that crap, but enjoy!

Once again it was time to get up, her watch was beeping wildly, it was six o'clock in the morning. Olivia turned her watch off and went to pick up the clothes that were placed on the chair in her room. So far, both times that she had woken up there, there had been clothes laid out for her. All she knew is that she took off what she was wearing and set it down on the chair and when she woke up there was a new dress and gloves. Her boots remained the same although they were polished nicely. She walked over to the pile and noticed a note sitting on top. She picked it up and opened it slowly, her head hurt from the withdraw of the drug she had been given.

You thought yesterday was bad,

Just wait till you see what's in store

For you today.

--Mindy

Olivia took in a deep breath. The day before had been a lot of sitting around, waiting, and doing everything she was told to do. She hadn't been shocked yet, or punished, but she did mention something about the other day sucking. Yesterday was Sunday, now it was Monday, she wondered what was going to be different about it. She folded up the note and put it under the mattress in her room and then went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out she walked back over to the clothes and slowly pulled them on. She then sat down on the bed and waited for Parminder to come and get her. A moment later there was the sound of locks clicking, no knock before hand. She arched an eyebrow and saw Mariann step into the room holding something in her hand.

"You ready?" Mariann asked and then approached her quickly, Olivia didn't know what she was supposed to be ready for but she nodded. As she got closer, Olivia realized that what she was holding was a leash. Before Olivia could say anything about it, the leash was clipped to her collar and Mariann was pulling on it.

"You don't need to put me on a leash you know." Olivia said and then reached her hands up to unclip it. Mariann saw this and jerked the leash hard causing Olivia to stumble and fall to the floor. Olivia put her hands to her neck, from the angle she was at the collar was causing her to choke. Mariann laughed slightly and pulled her back to her feet roughly.

"I do need the leash, you're someone else's pet for the day. I don't keep my pets on leashes but he does." Mariann said. It was a slow walk to the stairs and Olivia wondered why she wasn't drugged this time, she didn't have to wait long for an answer, "I didn't drug you because I promised you to a man who wants a fighter, a newbie, that's you."

"Why are you selling Parminder?"

"Cause I can make 250 thousand dollars off of her and I need a new sports car." Mariann replied, "Aren't you going to ask what this man wants with you?"

"I already know what he wants and I'm really not in the position to argue am I?" Olivia responded and quickened her step to keep up with Mariann. They made it down the stairs and she was pulled into a room that looked like a lounge. There was a man sitting there sipping a brandy, it was six in the morning and he was drinking. Olivia rolled her eyes and turned her head away, what kind of freak drank that early in the morning. Mariann pulled on the leash harder and pulled her towards the man, when she got close enough she handed the leash off to the man.

"Here she is, she's as green as they get. Only had her for two days, only will have her for eight more." Mariann said as the man took the leash, "You call him "master" and nothing else." Mariann then kicked Olivia in the shin hard. Olivia cried out in pain and was forced to drop to her knees. The man laughed and lowered the leash so she wouldn't be choking any more.

"Thank you Mare, I think I'll have fun with her." The man said and then finished off his brandy. Mariann nodded and winked at Olivia.

"If she's too much trouble just use the remote I gave you. You can reach me by intercom in any of the rooms. Have fun." With that she turned and left, Olivia watched her leave and then looked up at the man. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know what. She wanted to know his name, his age, how much he was paying for her, and stuff like that. She was afraid that if she did say something she would get shocked so she kept her mouth shut.

"What's your name?" He asked her and she looked him in the eyes, he brought his hand up quickly and slapped her. She cried out and turned to retaliate with a punch but he grabbed her fist. He had to be in his late twenties and could probably bench press five hundred pounds, she would be no match for him even if she did get in a miracle first punch. "Don't look at me, look at the floor!"

"My name is Olivia." She said and then pulled her hand away from him violently and rubbed her cheek gently. He tugged upwards on her leash and after a moment of choking, she realized that he wanted her to stand up. She slowly got to her feet, her eyes came up to look at him again but she reminded herself not to look directly at him or she would be hit, so she turned her eyes to the floor again.

"Alright, Olivia, strip." He ordered and then unhooked the leash. She pulled away from him and took a few steps backwards. She felt the collar for a moment and tugged at it, wishing as hard as she could for it to give in any way. "If I have to tell you again, you won't like what happens after that…" Olivia growled softly and without any sort of tact or sexuality she pulled her dress off, leaving her gloves and boots on. The man stood up and looked her up and down, her front first, then he went around to her back, still looking like she was a piece of meat.

"Just do what you are going to do and get it over with." Olivia snarled at him, he grabbed a chunk of her hair in his fist and pulled her head back. She cried out and felt tears well up in her eyes, she blinked a few times and cleared her vision.

"You aren't going to fight me? Throw a punch? Kick, bite, scream?" He asked, getting his lips close to her cheek. She tried to move her head away but she couldn't even budge it with his hand grabbing her hair liked it was.

"If I thought I had a chance of winning I would but seeing as how you could bench press five of me I'm not going to try." Olivia replied and he let go of her hair. He then shoved her forward and she fell to her knees onto the floor. Her knees hit the carpet and skidded, causing two small burns on the rough skin of her knees.

"Oh I think I know how to put the fight into you." He replied and then pulled a cell phone from his back pocket. Olivia rolled her eyes and reached her hands down to rub her injured knees. They stung like hell and one of them was bleeding. "Yeah, the name is Olivia Stabler, if you can't find anything under that try Elliot." Olivia looked up, wondering what he could possibly be doing.

"What are you—" Her words were cut off in a choke as the man violently pulled the leash upwards. She didn't even have time to cry out, now she was being strangled and was losing oxygen. She put her hand on the leash and tugged it down so she could breathe again. She brought her arms up and covered her chest. He didn't even spare her a glance.

"2686 Morgan drive? Send Max there and tell him to wait until he sees the kids." The man said and then hung up the phone. Olivia's head instantly snapped to attention and she got to her feet quickly, keeping her hands over her chest to cover herself.

"You will NOT hurt my children." Olivia growled looking at him dead in the eye. He looked back at her and smiled slyly. Of course he was going to get his was, he was just a spoiled rich kid who thought that he could buy his way into and out of anything. "FUCK YOU!" She screamed and her hands immediately went to his eyes. He grabbed her wrists and she dug her thumb nails into the skin under his eyes and brought them down swiftly, leaving two gaping scratch marks under his eyes. As the blood oozed to the surface he backhanded her hard and she cried out in pain. She backed up slightly and then charged at him knocking him to the floor and then pinning him down with her legs.

"Now there's the fighter I wanted…."

"If anything happens to my daughters I will hunt you down and slaughter you!" Olivia yelled and then kneed him in the groin as hard as she could. He cried out in pain and rolled over, knocking her off of him. She watched him writhe in pain for a moment before getting up and walking over to her dress. She picked it up and was about to put it on when he tackled her from behind. She fell hard and fast, her head hit the corner of the oak coffee table and then everything went black.

Henry Lee lawyered up very quickly and they weren't able to get much out of him. He said that all he did was receive the money, he didn't know where Mariann was, so they really had to let him go seeing as how they had nothing to hold him on. Elliot stepped outside of the station to have a cigarette when he saw Monica approaching. She already had a cigarette in her hand and a brown bag in the other. Before he could get his lighter out she had hers up and ready for him to light the cigarette. He lit it and thanked her and then took a long drag.

"How are things going with the investigation?" She asked and then took a long drag on her cigarette. He looked at her for a moment, things were at a dead end and their time was running out. Monica knew that he only had ten days to find her, now they were down to about 8.

"As slow as they could possibly be." Elliot replied, "What's in the bag?"

"Lunch for John, I made some sushi last night and thought he might want some." Monica replied. She had taken time from the movie set to stay home, she watched Hope and Serena now at night, when Dana couldn't be there. Elliot laughed a little wondering when Munch decided he liked sushi, but didn't say anything about it. His current threesome relationship with Monica and Krista was none of his business really, although he did realize that Munch was lucky to have two beautiful women all over him without them asking for any sort of commitment.

"Come on, I'll walk you inside." Elliot said and then dropped his cigarette and stepped on it, Monica did the same and they entered the precinct together. When they got into the office Monica walked over to Munch and pulled him into a kiss and held out the bag to him, he took it and smiled at her. Elliot smiled and shook his head slightly, they did seem to make a cute couple in an odd sort of way. Suddenly Elliot's cell phone began to ring wildly, he sighed and took it out of his pocket and answered it.

"Stabler." He answered as he watched Munch and Monica talk and laugh, Monica turned to look at him when she noticed the look on his face out of the corner of her eye, "WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME? I'll be right there!" He hung up the phone and grabbed his keys off of his desk and started to head out of the room. Monica left Munch and followed him, trying to keep up with his quick pace. He seemed upset and angry and she wanted to know what was going on.

"Elliot? What's—"

"Serena was attacked, her arm was broken. Hopefully they both got a good look at whoever did it." Elliot replied. Monica's eyes went wide and she stopped walking for a moment, but that didn't stop Elliot from continuing. She took in a deep breath and ran after him wondering what kind of low life would actually break a 6 year olds arm.

"Let me come with you, the girls trust me." Monica said after catching up to him again. He looked at her briefly and then nodded slightly. They got into the parking lot and then into his car together. He didn't understand why someone would be coming after Hope and Serena. Wasn't his life already in enough hell? Why did this have to happen?

The drive to the hospital was very silent, no radio or talking between Monica and Elliot, just complete and utter silence. Both of them were very angry at this predicament, it wasn't as if Serena had fell and broke her arm, some guy did it, and both of their brains were trying to process what had happened. When they got to the hospital they both rushed inside and after Elliot flashed his badge and barked some questions at people they were taken to Serena's room. Dana was outside answering the questions that the police were asking her. Elliot showed his badge and was allowed into the room, he would have taken over questioning Dana but he needed to see his girls. Hope was in a chair next to the bed, holding Serena's good hand when she saw Elliot.

"Daddy!" Hope shouted and then ran over to him and hugged his leg tightly. Serena looked up at him groggily, they probably had her on some light pain medication for her arm. She looked terrible with an IV in her and her arm in a cast but she was alive. All he could see when looking at the two of them was Olivia and it made his heart ache.

"Daddy…" Serena said softly and then started to cry, Elliot gently removed Hope from his leg and went over to the bed. Monica stood in the doorway in shock, she had watched these girls since they were babies and even though they weren't her own kids they were pretty damn close. Hope sat down in the chair next to the bed again and Elliot leaned down and gently pulled Serena into his arms. "The bad man hurt me." She sobbed into his shoulder.

"It's okay honey, I'm here now." He said and stroked her long hair gently. Monica stepped further into the room and to the foot of the bed. Hope got up and went over to her and she got down and hugged her and then lifted her up in her arms. "Monica, why don't you take Hope to the cafeteria and get her something to eat."

"I'm not hungry….can I have ice cream?" Hope asked with a smile perking up on her face. Monica laughed slightly and looked at Elliot.

"You can have anything you want sweetie." Elliot replied and Hope cheered before wrapping her arms back around Monica's neck. Monica carried Hope out of the room and Elliot took a seat in the chair next to Serena.

"Honey, do you remember anything about the man that did this to you?" Elliot asked her gently. He hated the fact that he had to question his own daughter like this but it was probably better that he did it as opposed to an officer she didn't know. She sniffed back some tears and brought her left hand to wipe her eyes, the assailant had broken her right arm, now she couldn't even color or write.

"He said….he said….that I….I have a bad mommy and he….needed to punish me." Serena said softly. Elliot's eyes widened, so the man who did this was connected to Olivia. As bad as it was, it seemed like he might actually get a break in the case. "Mommy's not bad right? He's wrong!"

"No mommy's not bad and she would never let someone do this to you," Elliot said and pushed some hair out of her face, "Can you remember what he looked like?"

"Yeah, um….he was tall like you. He had big muscles in his arms and black hair…." Serena said and then trailed off, "That's all I remember." She looked disappointed like she wished she could help him out. Elliot smiled at her, after all she was only 6, he didn't expect her to remember everything about him. At least there was an adult witness to the crime, their babysitter Dana had seen the whole thing. Dana stepped into the room and smiled at Serena.

"Mr. Stabler? The police want me to work with a sketch artist down at the station, is it okay if I leave the girls with you and Monica?" Dana asked as she slung her purse over her shoulder. Elliot nodded slightly and she turned to leave.

"Wait I need to talk to you for a moment, out in the hall though, can you give me a second?" Elliot asked and she nodded and stepped out into the hall. He was glad that the door had a glass window in it so when he went out there he wouldn't be out of Serena's line of sight, "Serena honey, I'm going to go talk to Dana just for a minute, I'll be right outside where you can see me okay?"

"Okay," She said and then reached for his hand, he held his hand to her and she squeezed it tightly, "Just a minute?"

"Just a minute honey." He assured her and then squeezed her hand back gently. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Her and Hope were very smart children and he guessed that she knew she was safe as long as she could see him. She also knew her daddy was a police officer and if he was around he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her. He got up and walked to the door and stepped out into the hallway and shut the door behind him gently. "Dana you have to tell me what happened."

"I'm so sorry Mr. Stabler, so sorry!" She started to sob gently into her hands and after a moment of composing herself she looked back at him, "I was going to take the kids out to see a movie, you know to take their minds off of things. They were excited and ran outside without me but I told them to stay on the front steps while I got my purse. I thought they would be safe, it would only take a minute you know? So I went to get my purse and I heard this horrible screaming from both of the girls. When I got out there, there was a man, and he was saying something to Serena and Hope but I don't know what…I was more concerned with the bone sticking out of Serena's arm. The man looked at me for just a second and then took off running. The only thing I can offer is his description, I don't think I'll ever forget his face…ever."

When Olivia woke up her head was pounding and it hurt like all hell. She brought a hand up and found a lump, accompanied by a gash that was still bleeding slightly. She was back in her dress but she could tell that she had been raped over the time period that she was out. She heard running water and sat up slowly. Parminder came out of the bathroom wiping her hands off on a towel. She smiled at Olivia and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You have a slight concussion," Parminder said, "But as long as I can keep my eye on you for a day or so then you should be fine." She picked up the penlight that was on the bedside table and held it up and shined it into Olivia's eyes.

"You're a doctor?"

"Well I was a 4th year med student back in Bombay." She replied, "I would have been a doctor I studied really hard for it. I know what I'm talking about, trust me." She turned the penlight off and set it down on the table. Olivia guessed that she was the closest thing that she was going to get to a doctor, and she actually trusted Parminder.

"Don't worry I trust you." She replied and put her hand on Parminder's. They stayed like that for a moment before the door unlocked and Mariann stepped in. Mindy immediately got down on her knees in a sign of submission. Mariann dismissed her with a wave of her hand and she nodded and got up and left the room. Olivia watched the whole show of submission and she didn't think she ever wanted to be programmed to do that.

"How's the head?" Mariann asked and then reached to brush some hair out of Olivia's face. Olivia moved her hand to stop the touch but then remembered that she had to make Mariann think that she was falling in love with her, so instead she moved it to her lap and smiled sweetly at Mariann.

"It hurts but I'll live." Olivia replied and then sat herself up and took Mariann's hand in hers, "Please don't give me back to that guy, I'd rather be with you." She said and then forced a smile that she hoped look authentic. Mariann smiled back at her, she seemed to buy it for the moment at least.

"Why would you want to spend time with me?"

"I dunno, to get to know you. You are a very smart young woman, not to mention the fact that you are absolutely beautiful." Olivia replied, even though she really had to force herself to be as sweet as she was. Mariann was attractive but not more so then an average person, she looked a lot like her sister Liz.

"Thank you Olivia," Mariann said and pushed more of Olivia's hair out of her face. Olivia bit her tongue to keep from saying or doing anything that might contradict her words. "You are positively beautiful yourself. How about you come downstairs with me and I'll get you some ice for your head. Do you think you can walk?"

"Yeah, I've had worse injuries then this, trust me I'll be fine." Olivia said and then swung her legs over the bed and stood up with the help of Mariann. At least she seemed to be getting somewhere with her, she didn't know how or why Mariann was buying into her new attitude but she glad that it was working, and for the moment she totally forgot about Hope and Serena. She needed to make Mariann think that she was interested in her, and then maybe she could get the collar removed.
