Elliot sat at his desk typing up yet another DD5, when Cragen came out of his office. Cragen looked around the room at Fin and Munch doing much of the same as Elliot; however, he didn't see Olivia. He walked over to Elliot, "Where is your partner? I thought that I told you guys to be here this morning?"
Elliot looked up to an un-amused Cragen, "I called her 15 minutes ago and she was supposed to be coming out of the coffee shop with all of our coffee. She should have been here by now. Let me call her."
As he dialed her number, the phone at Munch's desk began to ring. "Detective Munch, Special Victims... Yes.... Are you sure? ....Okay...We'll be right there."
As he hung up Elliot spoke up, "She isn't answering her cell..."
Cragen looked at Munch, "That was Teri; she owns the coffeehouse that Liv was at...Apparently Teri saw some man force Liv into a van."
Elliot jumped out of his seat and grabbed his jacket. Cragen nodded to his detectives, "Go and see what she has to say...I am going to get a hold of Agent Lewis and make sure she has all the eco-terrorists..." They nodded and Munch and Fin followed Elliot out of the building and to their cars.

Olivia came to and found herself in the back of a vehicle handcuffed to a side rail within the van. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and saw a way out of this terrible situation. She quietly moved her cuffed hand around until she could reach her phone and carefully pulled it out of her pocket. She typed a text message to Elliot as quietly and quickly as she could. As she hit the send button the driver turned a corner sharply and slung Olivia up against the side of the van, the cell phone remarkably still in her now blood covered hand.

Elliot was talking with Teri the Coffeehouse manager when his cell phone vibrated. He looked to Teri, "Excuse me for a moment." He motioned to Fin and he and Munch took over. Elliot pulled out his cell phone and saw that he had a message, 'Back of a van, leaving town. I'll keep this on till it dies. Liv.' He immediately called Cragen, "Have someone track her cell phone. I just got a text message from her telling me that she was in a van heading out of town...Okay...We will. Call me when you know something. Okay. Bye." He hung up and walked quickly over to Munch and Fin.
He turned to Teri, "Thank you so much for your help! We appreciate it!" He handed her his card, "If you think of anything else let us know." She nodded at him and then walked away.
Munch and Fin give him a dirty look, "We weren't done talking to her, Detective Hot Head."
Elliot looks at them, "Ya know...I'm going to ignore the Detective Hot Head crack, if you'll now follow me."
They look at one another, convinced that Elliot is going off the deep-end, but they followed him to their cars. Once they reach their cars, "Liv sent me a text message that she was being taken out of the city and she was going to leave her cell phone on as long as possible, so I called Cragen and he is having a trace put on her phone. We are to be ready to move so we can get going." Munch and Fin nod and are about ready to respond when Elliot's phone goes off, "Stabler. Yea....okay...We're headed their now, keep us updated."
Munch and Fin are in Elliot's car before he even gets off the phone. Elliot gets into the driver's seat and starts the car. "Where are they at?" Munch asks from the back.
"They are headed to the docks...But they are going the long way. We are going to cut through and beat them there, but stay out of sight..." He pauses for a moment thinking, "One of you call Cragen, so we can know if something changes."
As Elliot navigates the busy streets of Manhattan, Fin takes his phone out and calls Cragen. "Hey Cap'n… Yeah...we are nearly to the docks...any idea where they are headed?" He pauses listening to Cragen, "Yeah....Okay. One of us will jump out and get the other car. Thanks. We'll be in touch." Fin hangs up the phone and turns to Elliot and Munch.
"Alright, the main entrance security has been notified about this and they have an extra car waiting on us right inside the main gate. Munch and I can jump into the other car and that way we can corner the van. Elliot have your cell phone ready cause as soon as the van goes near the gate, he is calling us."
Elliot nodded only half hearing what was being said; the majority of his attention was on the love of his life that was in the back of the van they were looking for.
Munch nodded turned to Fin, "I'll drive."
Fin snorted his protest and shook his head, "No old man; if you drive, Elliot will have the men cuffed and 'Livia on her way to the hospital..." Munch rolled his eyes and mumbled something about NYPD being in on a government conspiracy; Elliot and Fin both rolled their eyes and laughed.

The passenger riding shot-gun looked into the back of the van and saw that Liv was lying down; he turned to the driver, "She is still knocked out...We shouldn't have any problems." He smiled wickedly and the driver had a laugh to match it.
EOEOEOEOEOEOEO
Elliot pulled up to the gate and flashed his badge at them. They nodded to the empty car while opening the gate. Elliot pulled though and the gate and stopped long enough for Fin and Munch to get out before he pulled down the way and then hid the car.

T-Bone pulled the van up to the guard shack and showed them his id; after having been waved through he smiled to his command, "That was almost too easy."
The other man smiled, "Like takin' candy from a baby."
Pretty soon, they were pulling the van into an abandoned area; T-Bone turned off the engine and then looked to his buddy, "It is time to show her that what she did to us was wrong."
Olivia hears this from the back of the van and cringes knowing that this isn't going to be fun for her. She closes her eyes, wishing Elliot would hurry up and find her.
T-Bone and his buddy get out of the van and as they are opening the door to get Olivia out, an unmarked police car comes at them with police lights and sirens working.
Olivia closes her eyes tightly when she hears the door opening, fear rippling through her, when she hears the distinct sound of sirens coming closer. She then hears Elliot yell, "Police....Hands up."
T-Bone is talking now, "Not a chance. You want her alive you better listen to me and do as I say." He finishes pointing a gun into the back of the truck toward Olivia.
Elliot knew that Munch and Fin could hear what was going on and they would be coming shortly, he just had to keep T-Bone talking long enough. He couldn't afford for them to take her and leave.
Olivia was sitting extremely still as to not give anything away. With her back turned to the entire scene she had no idea what was going on. The next thing she heard were two gun shots. And then she heard Elliot scream, "Olivia!"
"EL!" she cried trying to move but not finding enough strength. She could hear Munch and Fin cuffing and reading the two men their rights.
"Liv," Elliot said tentatively, scooting towards her to unlock her hands. Within minutes he had her out of the cuffs and into his arms, "Thank God you are okay."
Olivia held onto Elliot as if he was her lifeline and really who was she kidding, he was her lifeline and always would be. "I was so scared that I would never see you again." She admitted to him quietly.
He pushed her back so he could look into her eyes, "It is gonna take more than two eco-terrorists to keep you away from you. I am so glad that you are okay." With that he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. After he pulled away he noticed the blood all over her hands and looked up to her, "Let's get this cleaned up...the bus should be here anytime." As if on cue the ambulance pulled up and they got out of the van and walked to the bus and the man waiting there went to work working on her bloody hand.
