Disclaimer: Still not mine, but for those who hope for Elliot and Olivia to get together, here's what Mariska Hargitay said on NBC's blog the other night, while addressing the subject . "Listen, we are going to have to postpone that, or the show would be over. The good news is that we all want them to. I mean WE all do. I have to put my partner back on the straight and narrow. He had a wondering eye while I was gone." There you have it, straight from Mariska, and I should hope that Mariska gets what she wants!

With that, the two made their way silently down the hall, avoiding eye contact to meet with Jamie Harps.

Elliot knocked quietly on the door, before opening it and peeking inside, "Hi, I'm Detective Stabler, and this is Detective Beck, and we'd like to ask you a few questions," he said as he held out his hand to Jamie. With a small affirmative nod from Jamie, Elliot sat down in the uncomfortable brown chair that was close to the hospital bed, while Dani stood a few feet away, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

"Tell us about what happened, anything you remember."

"I don't know, I went out about a week ago to a bar downtown, Mike's, and had a couple of drinks. I was really stressed out with work and just needed some alone time. This guy came and sat down by me, said his name was Ryan, and offered to buy me a drink. One thing led to another and I ended up back at his place. The next thing I remember is waking up here. I guess he raped me and beat me pretty badly. They said he thought I was dead, so he dumped me like the other two." Jamie stared at the blue hospital blanket on her bed, as she ran her fingers over the fabric.

"Jamie, do you remember where his place was or what kind of car he drove?"

"Sort-of, we drove for a couple of miles to a street with several apartment buildings on it. I think the complex was called Chisolm Place or something like that. I don't know, I was really drunk. His car was red and some sort of Honda, I think."

"Thank you very much. If you think of anything else that you think might help us out, give us a call."

Elliot and Dani hadn't spoken to each other the entire way back to the precinct. Once inside they both set out to find any apartment complex within a 10 mile radius of Mike's. After about 20 minutes of searching, Dani uncovered something.

"Hey, Elliot, take a look at this. There's a street with about 4 different complexes on it, and one of them is called Crimson Place."

"Great, lets get over there." Elliot grabbed his coat off the back of the chair. He filled the captain in on what they'd found, and ran out of the office, Dani right in stride.

They arrived at Crimson Place, found a parking place, and began to canvas outside the building for anything out of the ordinary, and any red vehicles. They didn't find anything, so armed with a picture of Blake Carson, aka Ryan, they went into the building, and began knocking on doors asking if anyone had seen him. The third door they knocked on, an elderly woman answered.

"I'm Detective Stabler and this is Detective Beck. We're wondering if you've ever seen this man before?" Elliot said as Dani held up the picture for the woman to look at.

"Why yes, that's Ryan. Such a sweet young man. He always helps me carry in my groceries or holds the door for me."

"Ma'am, can you tell us where Ryan lives?"

"Of course, he lives right down the hall in 108. Why? Is he in any kind of trouble?" "We're not sure yet. Thank you for your time."

Elliot and Dani went to the door, banging on it. After a minute, it was clear that no one was going to answer.

"Ok, stand back, I'm going to knock it in," Elliot stated with a rush of adrenaline. Elliot put some force against the door and pushed it open. Stepping inside, guns drawn, they quickly surveyed the room for anyone who could be hiding.

"Kitchen's Clear" Elliot yelled to Dani.

"Bathroom's Clear" Dani yelled back. After the kitchen, living room, bathroom and the bedroom were clear, Elliot went to look inside the closet in the bedroom where he found a door. He tried to open the door but it was padlocked from the outside.

"Dani, stand over there. I'm gonna shoot the lock off."

He aimed his gun at the lock and shot it off, letting it clink to the floor, and with one swift motion, opened the door. To his horror, he was faced with a naked and pale white Olivia, chained to the floor. She wasn't moving, and she lay in a pool of what he assumed to be her own blood. Her face was black and blue with bruises, and red gash lined the side of her forehead. Dried blood caked her skin, painting it in a pale red color. He could tell by the bruising on her sides, that she had several broken ribs, and as he continued to scan her body, he saw that she had multiple cuts, and what looked like two broken legs.

He rushed into the room, "Olivia, Liv, baby can you hear me?" Tears stung his eyes as he knelt down beside his best friend. He gingerly placed his hand on her neck feeling for a pulse, for anything that would let him know she was still alive; there was a weak one, she was alive, for now

"Liv, please…please, baby be ok" he pleaded, his body consumed with grief for the woman he cared more about than anyone in the world. At this point, tears flowed freely down his face, and his body shook with every sob. Dani had called the paramedics, and they were on their way, but it seemed like an eternity would pass before they got there. He lay down on the floor beside her and gently held her close, making sure not to disturb her injuries. Stroking her hair with his hand, he stared intently at her. He couldn't lose her. He couldn't live without her. He loved her.

Dani stood in the entryway of the room, with her arms folded across her chest, watching her partner, the man she loved, hold his partner, the woman he loved and be completely and emotionally exposed with her. She watched as he stroked her face, and talked to her about how much he missed her.

"Sweetie, you've got to pull through for me ok, I'm here now, I'm so sorry I wasn't here sooner. I'm so sorry. Don't leave me Liv. I love you. That's right, I love you. I've loved you for so long, but I never felt like I could tell you. Please wake up Livvy. I want to tell you. I need to tell you. I need to know that you know how I feel."

A tear trickled down Dani's face, as she watched him interact with Olivia. She felt for him, knowing what it was like to lose someone you truly love. With the severity and great emotion of the situation, neither Dani nor Elliot had thought to keep an eye out in case Blake arrived before the paramedics or Cragen, Munch, and Fin. About the time that it dawned on her that she should go watch for anyone that came into the apartment, Dani felt something cold and hard press up against her cheek, and instantly she knew, Blake was back and was holding a gun to her head.

"Elliot!" Dani shrieked out. Elliot looked up to see Dani with a gun to her face, a terrified look in her eyes.
