A/N: I only own the Locke family. Getting hints of E/O! Hope you like it!
The Locke Residence 11:48 p.m
Olivia and Elliot pull up to the house along with their back up and the ambulance. They grab their guns and approach the door, knocking 3 times.
"Mr and Mrs Locke, NYPD open the door!" shouted Elliot.
They hear whispers and movement inside. "Open the door!" yells Olivia. There I silence and Elliot kicks down the door to see a couple sitting on the couch watching television like nothing has happened.
"Mr and Mrs Locke?" Elliot asks confused.
"Yes?"
"Could you two please stand up?" The two stand up from the couch and walks over to Elliot and Olivia. They pull out their handcuffs and put them on the couple.
"You are under arrest for criminal possession of a weapon, and endangerment of a child. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law..."
Elliot continues to read them their rights as they protest and struggle, and him and another officer lead them out to the car.
Olivia locates the staircase and proceeds upstairs.
"Sara? Lilly?" Olivia gently whispers trying not to startle the children.
"In here..." she hears a soft voice say from a nearby closet.
Olivia opens the door and see's two girls huddled together, one putting pressure on the others stomach.
"She's lost a lot of blood..." says Lilly almost crying.
"Shhhh... sweetie I know, it's going to be okay" she says to the young girl. "I need a stretcher!" Olivia calls down.
Elliot and two ambulance responders come running up the stairs. Elliot gently lifts the wounded girl onto the stretcher, and the men carry her down to the ambulance.
"Where are you taking Sara?" demanded Lilly.
"She has to go to the hospital so they can fix her stomach" said Elliot. "We should get you checked out too, just in case."
Elliot lifts Lilly out of the closet and carries her down stairs. Olivia strokes the girls hair while keeping her other hand on the small of Elliot's back.
When they left the house, they noticed that Cragen had arrived, the Locke's had been taken back to the station, and the ambulance had taken Sara to Mercy hospital.
Olivia and Elliot proceeded to their car and Elliot set Lilly in the back. She had a terrified look on her face, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days.
"We're going to take you to the hospital now so we can make sure your okay" Olivia said lowering herself to the girls level.
The girl slightly nodded and Olivia went to join Elliot in the front when she felt something grab her wrist. She turned around to see Lilly holding onto her hand for dear life.
"Will you sit back here with me?" she asked slightly hopeful.
Olivia studied the girls expression. "Of course" she said with a smile.
Olivia got in the back with Lilly and rubbed her back to comfort her all the way to the hospital.
Mercy General Hospital 12:20 a.m
Olivia stayed with Lilly the whole time the doctor cleaned her sisters blood off her, examined her arms and legs, took her blood pressure, and monitored her breathing. There were a few bruises and scratches on her, but Lilly said they were from soccer.
The doctor left the room and Lilly and Olivia were left there to talk.
"So Lilly, how old are you?" asked Olivia.
"I'm 11, I'm in 5th grade!" she said with glee.
"Very cool, so why were you and Sara in the closet?"
"We..we were playing hide and seek. I was in the closet originally and then Sara came and found me" Olivia read the girls body language and knew she was lying.
"At 11:30 on a school night?" Olivia said leading the girl to tell her "Then why did you call me and say you needed help?"
Lilly looked around and started to tear up.
"Sweetie, why are you crying?" Olivia knew she was about to get something out of her.
"Because... because my parents were hurting Sara!" she sobbed.
"What do you mean they were "hurting" her?"
"They started yelling at each other like usual, so I went and hid in the closet because I hate it when they fight, so I always go in there. Sara was in the shower, and when she got out, she heard them fighting and knew I was in the closet. She sat with me in the closet for about 20 minutes, and then she went downstairs to stop them"
Lilly was now allowing her tears to fall over the edge of her dark brown eyes.
"Then what happened?" Olivia gently asked.
"I came out of the closet so I could see what was going on. Then Sara tried to get them to stop fighting but all they did was start yelling at her, and telling her that they wouldn't have to fight if she would be more perfect like me" she got quieter. "I hate it when they say that...I'm not perfect."
She sat in silence for awhile before remembering what she was telling the detective.
"Then Sara told them she wished they weren't her parents, and that's when dad took out a gun and fired at her, so I ran back into the closet and called 911" she finished her story with a sigh and tears in her eyes.
Olivia was shocked in hearing this because Sara had told her that her parents were fighting OVER the gun, and that it had ACCIDENTLY fired and hit her.
"Honey, are you sure your dad fired AT her, or did it hit Sara on accident?"
"He shot it right at her! I saw it! Is she going to be okay?" Lilly was now starting to calm down.
Olivia locked the girl into a hug. "Yes, she is going to be just fine. My partner is going to take you back to the station now so you can rest and then visit your sister when she wakes up from surgery."
"Okay, thank you detective Benson" Lilly said with a smile.
"Call me Olivia" she smiled back.
"Okay, that's a pretty name. Thank you for helping my sister and I, I really like you"
Olivia became as still as rock, she had talked for too long, the bond had formed. Lilly walked to the door where Elliot was and he put a hand on the girls shoulder.
"Let's stop at your house so you can get some clothes." he said as they turned to walk out the door.
He squeezed Olivia's shoulder to bring her back to reality.
"Liv, don't get too attached, you know better" he whispered.
"I know I know, don't worry about it, I'm not" she said, locking her eyes on his beautiful deep blue ones.
Elliot and Lilly walked out the hospital room and Olivia stood up to go wait for Sara to be out of surgery.
As she sat down in the waiting room, she realized two things. One, she already loved these girls and was willing to fight for them, and Two, she wanted Elliot Stabler and she wanted him now.
So, who do you think is telling the truth, and what else have their parents been doing to them? And will Olivia get Elliot? Don't forget to review and you'll find out!
