Elliot strode into work at eight o'clock the next morning, with a blank expression on his face. Noticing that Olivia wasn't in the squad room, he turned to Munch and Fin.
"Where's Olivia?" he asked.
They shrugged.
"Did she make it home last night?" Fin asked.
"I don't know," said Elliot. "She didn't answer when I knocked. I figured she had fallen asleep, and I would see her today."
"Well, maybe, she's still at home," Munch said. "Let's go check it out."
They grabbed their gear and they drove down to Olivia's apartment. They knocked on the door, and like the night before, they received no answer. Fin brought out his lock-picking kit, and picked the lock. They pushed the door open quietly, and went into the apartment, seperating.
"Clear!" Elliot heard Munch yell from the living room.
"Clear!" Fin's voice came from the kitchen.
He found the bedroom empty. No trace of anything, and the bed hadn't been slept in.
"Clear," he called reluctantly.
Fin and Munch came into the bedroom.
"She wasn't here last night," Fin observed.
Elliot nodded, before pushing out the bedroom and out the door of the apartment. He walked down the street in the direction of the alleyway. He heard Fin and munch run up behind him. He stopped suddenly.
"Elliot, man, are you okay?" Fin asked.
"Look," Elliot answered pointing towards the ground.
The two men looked over his shoulder, and saw the pool of blood. The words had been traced next to it with a stick.
If you want Olivia back, you have to work for her. I will give you more clues. I want $3,000,000 in ransom. You have until 07:00 on Thursday. Otherwise say goodbye to the beautiful Olivia Benson.
Olivia sat up. Her legs and back were throbbing, as well as her head. The door opened slowly and the man stepped in again. He smiled down at Olivia.
"It seems your teammates have found my message," he said. "It's know a matter of if they will find you and get the money in time."
"They will," Olivia said, but her voice wasn't as strong as when she first defied him.
"Sure they will," he said. "Sure."
He exited the room and went down the hallway to another. He went to the machine and pushed a button. He smirked again in the direction of Olivia's room.
It's only a matter of time.
