Day 8: A Shockingly Good Time

Part IX

Disclaimer: Olivia and Elliot aren't mine, I think I covered this in the first story so um no more needs to be said.

After an hour, Olivia got up from her rock and sauntered over to the front door. She didn't see Mariann or Laura but she was guessing at least one of them was inside. The air conditioning hit her like a wall of bricks. It was cool out there in the shade but it was even nicer inside. She looked around in a few rooms and when she didn't see anyone she headed back up the stairs and towards her room. She had a huge smile on her face that wouldn't seem to go away and she was hoping she wouldn't run into anyone, but she was wrong. When she entered the bedroom Mariann was sitting on the bed holding the discarded collar and the knife she had given to Olivia earlier. The smile immediately fell from her face and she swallowed hard.

"You helped her escape." Mariann said, her fist clenching the broken collar so tight that her knuckles were white. Olivia started to back up when she felt a shock in her collar and it brought her down to her knees. She cried out in pain and pulled at the collar but she was only met with another shock, and then another. Soon she was on the ground, tears flowing down her face freely. Finally, just when she thought she would pass out, the shocking stopped and Mariann was standing over her. "I only stopped because I didn't want you to vomit cause I think that's gross."

"You can torture me, you can kill me, but Parminder is safe and Elliot will find you when she gets to him, so I don't care what you do to me." Olivia breathed when she could finally catch her breath again. Mariann looked down at her and then kicked her in the side, connecting with her ribs. Olivia cried out again and curled up into a fetal position.

"I'm locking you in here until I decide what to do with you, pray that I decide to be kind." Mariann said and then left the room, shutting the door behind her and locking it. After another moment of trying to cope with the pain running through her entire body Olivia got onto her knees and looked at the door. She knew that it had to only be a matter of time before Elliot showed up there, she was betting that she could survive until then.

As soon as they pulled up to the front of the police station in downtown New York, Parminder opened the car door and got out. She tried to pull her shoes on as she ran for the front door. She did have Elliot's phone number after all, she could have called him from where she was, but she was too scared to wait around anywhere near Mariann's house. The local PD were on her payroll and if she would have been found in the time it would have taken for Elliot to find her she would have more then likely been dead.

"Wait Parminder, I have to park the car." Amy called from the driver's seat after rolling down the passenger window. Parminder didn't want to wait, she didn't know what was going on back at Mariann's house and if she was already discovered to be missing Olivia could be in a shit load of trouble. She wasn't stupid, she had hidden the collar and the knife but she didn't put it past Mariann to find it.

"His name is Elliot Stabler meet me inside!" Parminder called and then entered the police station without looking back. She adjusted the strap on the last shoe and entered the police station looking around frantically. She went to the front desk and rang the bell on it about fifty times until someone actually looked up at her, "I need Elliot Stabler he works here, I need him NOW!" She said, trying not to yell at anyone. She certainly was in a hurry but she hadn't yelled at anyone in years, she was actually a very quiet girl when it came down to it.

"Calm down," A female officer said as she approached the front desk, "Maybe I can help you."

"NO! I will only speak to Elliot Stabler!" Parminder said and then folded her arms across her chest. She barely realized that in the outfit she was in she probably looked like a hooker, and she wasn't going to tell anyone else where she had came from. She trusted Olivia and she knew she could trust her husband, but she did not trust anyone else.

"Okay just hang on, I'll call his unit." The officer replied after giving her an annoyed look. Parminder took a step back and saw a chair, so she sat down and leaned forward with her elbows on her knees, tapping one foot uncontrollably. The officer stayed on the phone for a few minutes and then hung up and came back over to the desk, "He's away from his desk right now, but I'm sure if you—"

"This is important, it's about his wife." Parminder snapped, the female officer obviously didn't know much about Olivia being a missing person but her annoyance disappeared when Parminder mentioned Elliot's wife. For all the officer knew, his wife could have been in an accident or even worse and she didn't want to delay getting information to him if it was about that. She picked up the phone again and stayed on it for several more minutes before coming back to the desk.

"Someone will be here to help you momentarily." She said and then went back to her work.

"I don't want someone! I want ELLIOT!" Parminder screamed but was ignored. She got up and started to pace back and fourth, the heels of her shoes clicking and echoing with every step. After what seemed like an eternity an older man walked over to her.

"I'm detective Munch, you have information about Olivia?" He asked and she looked up at him. Her eyes were filled with distrust, she wasn't sure who this man was or what connection he had to Elliot, but it wasn't a stretch for her to believe that he was somehow connected to Mariann.

"I don't care who you are, I want Elliot." Parminder said as Munch tried to walk her away from the front desk and towards the special victims unit. She walked with him, not putting up a fight, just wanting all of this to be over. Once they got into the unit Munch showed her to a desk and she sat down in the chair next to it.

"What do you know about Olivia?" He asked her kindly and she looked at him like he was insane. She had been through so much, how could he expect her to start talking to a complete stranger? She folded her arms over her chest again and took in a breath, letting it out as a sigh.

"How do I know I can trust you?" She said after another moment.

"I work with Elliot, I am on your side, you can trust me." He said to her softly, and a moment later Amy came in through the doors and saw Parminder. She walked over to the both of them and smiled slightly at Parminder.

"I parked the car, is this Elliot?" Amy asked.

"No this is detective Munch and I asked for Elliot. I'm not talking to anyone but Elliot." Parminder replied. Part of her knew she could trust Munch but part of her was screaming not to tell him anything. "Please just get me Elliot." Munch looked at her and then picked up his phone and dialed a number. Parminder smiled and sat back in her chair.

"Oh my god it's Krista Blue!" Amy suddenly squealed and Parminder turned to look at what Amy was looking at, although she had no idea who Krista Blue was anyway. Krista smiled, seemingly liking the attention, and came over to Amy.

"It's always nice to meet a fan." Krista said and then held her hand out to Amy, "What's your name?"

"A-Amy, oh my god, I always said if I was going to be a lesbian it would totally be with you." Amy blurted out and then started to blush and covered her mouth, "I'm sorry sometimes I speak before I think….why in the world are you here?"

"To check on the status of a case, a friend of mine is missing and—"

"Olivia? You're friends with Olivia?" Amy asked and then looked at Parminder, who was less then star struck by Krista. "I'm here to help! Oh wow, this is amazing." Krista looked at Munch and arched an eyebrow, this Amy was there to help, so why hadn't she helped already? Before any more people could converse John shoved the phone in Parminder's direction. She took it and put it to her ear.

"Elliot?"

"That's me." He replied, and suddenly she burst into sobs. Something was telling her the voice was the voice she could trust, it was almost like the voice of god.

"I know where Olivia is and she needs your help." She sobbed into the phone, Krista noticed that the girl was in turmoil and came over and wrapped her arms around her gently, although she was quite concerned with what this girl knew about Olivia.

"I'll be there as soon as possible." Elliot replied and then hung up the phone, Parminder let her hands drop, placing the phone down in her lap. She brought her hands up to her face and started to sob into them as Krista hugged her tightly.

"He said….he said he's…he's coming…" Parminder sobbed loud enough that the others could hear her. She finally felt as though she was safe, Elliot would be there and he would make everything better. All she could do now is pray that Olivia would be safe until they could get there.

The next thing Olivia knew, she was woken up by a shock. She had some how managed to pass out on the bed, although she couldn't remember how she'd gotten there. Her cry was cut off on a choke and her body convulsed and she fell off the bed, hitting her head on the table next to it as she did. She looked up to see Mariann standing in the doorway looking rather pissed. Little did Mariann know, Parminder was at the station right then waiting for Elliot to show up so she could talk to him, although Mariann didn't care. She was going to get away with murder one more time before she was caught.

"You know a simple "HEY YOU" would have woken me just as well." Olivia groaned as she brought a hand up to rub her head. There was a small lump forming there but she wasn't an idiot, she knew what was coming the lump was the least of her worries. She looked at her watch, it was two o'clock in the morning.

"Poor, poor Olivia…what could I possibly have in store for you?" Mariann said and then walked toward Olivia and pulled out a syringe. "Looks like the same thing I had planned for that missing girl…what was her name?"

"Elliot is on his way here bitch so back off." Olivia snapped but found herself slowly backing into a wall. What could she do exactly? Mariann could shock her till she vomited, passed out, or was dead. Whatever she had planned would probably take a little longer and buy her more time. Very reluctantly she stopped trying to crawl backwards. Mariann then took that opportunity to lunge for her and inject whatever was in the syringe into Olivia's neck.

"When you wake up, well you don't want to know…" Were the last words she heard before slipping out of reality.

Parminder and Elliot were on their way back to Mariann's house with Amy barking directions from the back seat. Time for Olivia was slipping away and Elliot really couldn't go any faster then he already was. The clock said it was three forty-five, and every second that ticked past seemed like a second too long. Parminder had warmed up to Elliot the minute she saw him, and now she was reluctant to let him out of her sight.

"Take a right here, this is the road you'd find my father's house on, is this what you remember Parminder?" Amy said as Elliot swiftly turned right.

"Yes it is, there's a mailbox out front with the Lovett name on it." Parminder said and then leaned over trying to see if she could find it. Elliot was beginning to realize that he made a mistake by not calling the local police but Parminder had gotten so paranoid about anyone talking to them she wouldn't stop screaming until he told her he wasn't going to call them. Munch knew the general direction he was going in, but only the address of Amy's father's house, nothing more. Elliot figured the only person he would have to confront was Mariann, and judging by the small stature of Liz he thought he could take her, especially if he had a gun. "STOP! RIGHT THERE!"

"I see it." Elliot said and then stopped in front of the driveway, "You two stay here." He pulled his cell phone and handed it to Parminder, "If there is any trouble you have to call for help, no matter how stupid it seems."

"But Elliot I—"

"Do you trust me, Parminder?" Elliot asked and looked her dead in the eye. She looked back at him and nodded her head weakly. "Good, now stay here." He got out of the car and headed up the long driveway until he reached the iron gates that would open to the front of the house. From there he could see the lights on in one of the front windows. He saw movement off to the side and then a figure approached the front door of the house.

"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!" He yelled, the figured stopped and then turned to look in his direction.

"Do you have a gun?" A female voice called to him.

"You bet your ass I do." He called back, and the figure's shoulders dropped and she started to approach the gate. That's when he noticed that she was carrying a shovel in one of her hands. In her other hand she had a flashlight and she held it up to show him that she was unarmed. When she got to the gates she flicked on the flashlight and he was able to see her face. He knew right then that it was Mariann Lovett, the features of her sister gave it away. She walked to the side of the gate and punched in a number in the key pad and the doors buzzed and then opened. Elliot trained his gun on her and she took a few steps away from him, although she had a smug smile on her face that was beginning to bug him.

"Alright you got me, but you don't have Olivia." Mariann said and then laughed almost maniacally.

"Where is she? Where is Olivia?" Elliot demanded and then grabbed Mariann by her shirt. She laughed again and dropped the shovel at his feet. Mariann shrugged slightly and put her hands out like s he was waiting for them to be cuffed, "TELL ME WHERE THE FUCK SHE IS BITCH!"

"I can't say, although I'm sure Parminder can be of help in that area." Mariann didn't seem to be shaken up one bit by his loud outburst. Elliot looked down at the shovel that had fallen to his feet and then back up to Mariann.

"If she's dead, I'll kill you and not quickly either, I'll do it as slow as possible." Elliot snapped and then let go of Mariann.

"She's got about twelve hours, ten if she doesn't breath normally." Mariann replied, once again not phased by his threats. "You can try to find her but after twelve hours her air runs out." Elliot violently turned Mariann around and slapped handcuffs around her wrists. She let out an annoyed sigh, like this happened all the time and it was only a matter of money to get her out of it. Although this time she would be very wrong, you don't mess with a cop or a cop's wife and expect to bribe your way out of it. Elliot started to pull Mariann to the car. He was going to call for backup, he had some idea of what she had done to Olivia and if he was right, he would definitely need to hurry.
