So sorry it has taken so long to update this. I have been busy packing and getting ready to 'leave the nest'. I love the response I got from everyone. Thank you everyone for the reviews and story alerts. They mean a lot to me :)
Now, on to the story!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN LAW AND ORDER: SVU OR IT'S CHARACTERS. DICK WOLF DOES (lucky duck!)
Olivia sat across from Cragen, reading the file in her hand, silently cursing herself from agreeing to do such a thing. "How long will this take?" she asked, turning another page over, reading the information.
Cragen sat on his desk in front of Olivia, watching her, searching her face for the fear he knew she was trying to keep hidden. "Could range from a couple of days, to a couple of weeks." He watched as she let out a sigh, before turning to another page in the file.
"What exactly is going to happen?"
"For the past couple of months we have been tracking a ring known for trafficing young immigrant women. You're going to, uh." He looked up and took a deep breath before continuing. "We need you to go undercover as one of the women brought in."
Olivia looked up, slamming the file down on the chair next to her. "No! Captain, I can't do that. It's too much of a risk."
Cragen nodded. "Olivia, you're the only one who can do this. There's already someone who has been welcome into the ring. They'll convince the man in charge to not do anything to you. You need to play the part. Get to know the men, make them trust you."
Olivia nodded. "What's my name?"
Cragen picked up the file from where she had slammed it, and opened it, reading over the information. "You're a Russian immigrant named Anya Kozlov. Escaped Russia to find freedom in America, only to be kidnapped by the ring." Cragen grabbed another file off his desk, and opened it, pulling out a few photos. He held up the first picture. It was of a man, late thirties. He had light brown hair, and hazel eyes. There was a small scar on his face, that started at his ear, and ran down to his chin, just along his jawline. "This is Nathaniel Gordon. From what our inside contact has said, he's one of the main men in charge of the whole operation. His partner, is Seth Parker." Cragen showed Olivia the other photo he had in the file. This man had sandy blonde hair, and dark, piercing green eyes. "From what I've been told, he's the smarter of the two."
Olivia took the two pictures from Cragen, and stared at them, wondering how she'd be able to pull this off. "So, when do I need to get ready?"
"Tonight you'll be brought to where they keep all the women. We don't exactly know where it is, and from what we've been told, they do thourough searches of their women, so we won't be able to put a wire on you."
Olivia let out a sigh. The more information she got about this case, the more she wanted to back out, but she knew she couldn't do that. They needed someone to get inside the ring, get to know the men, and only she would be able to do that. She had to put her personal feelings behind her, and be professional about this. She grabbed the files from Cragen so she could read them at home, and stood to leave his office.
"Olivia, we won't have any contact with you." Olivia rolled her eyes. It sounded as if Cragen was seriously trying to talk her out of it, which she was considering doing. However, despite how she felt, she knew these two men, and whoever else was involved, needed to be brought to justice for all the women they had hurt, or possibly even worse, killed.
"I get it! I know how to watch my back" she replied, a little more harsh than necessary. She watched as Cragen let out a small sigh, feeling horrible for snapping at him. He had always been protective of her, after all, she was like his daughter, and knowing he had to send her to do such a dangerous thing, made him worry, immensely. Knowing he was only trying to protect his little girl, Olivia turned to face her captain, looking at him with apologetic eyes.
Without another word, he wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her into a tight hug. "Be safe" he whispered. Olivia took a deep breath, trying to prevent herself from crying. It was hard for her, especially everything she had been through, to willingly go and put herself in another dangerous situation.
The two seperated, and Olivia saw, for the first time, just how much she ment to her Captain. "Hey, I always am" she said, placing a hand on her shoulder, assuring him that she would come back to them, unharmed, no matter what. Cragen smiled. He was going to miss her, and he knew the precinct wouldn't be the same without her there to keep everything in order.
Olivia walked to the door, files in hand, when she remembered one important question. Cragen had said that there was already someone undercover, and she knew that whoever it was, was going to be the only person she'd be able to trust. "Captain?" she asked, turning to face the man.
"Yes?"
"You said that someone is already undercover. Who is it? Someone from another unit? Federal Agent?"
Cragen shook his head, before getting up and walking over to the door. He opened it, and stepped outside into the squadroom. "You'll know when you see them" he said over his shoulder, before walking over to Munch and Fin, leaving Olivia to think over what he had just said.
Olivia laid in her bed, silently cursing herself for agreeing to do such a thing. After having read the information she had been given on Gordon, Parker, and the rest of their trafficing ring, she felt sick to her stomach.
There was a slight possibility that she would end up pissing off either Gordon, or Parker, and she knew the consequences of such behavior. Not only would she be forced to have sex with multiple people, but she would probably be exposed to drugs, which could be deadly. No wonder it took so long for the FBI to ask for someone to even consider going undercover.
She looked over at the red numbers illuminating from her alarm clock on her nightstand. 9:16 p.m. Based on the information they were given from their informant, she knew that some of the men working for Parker were going to be picking up some women from some of their partners overseas, near Central Park. Her only job, was to make it into the group, without anyone finding out.
The ringing of her cell phone startled her, making her jump slightly. She looked at the caller I.D., but when she didn't recognize the number, she knew it had to be who she would be working with. "Benson" she answered, rolling off the bed, knowing it was time to leave the apartment, and head over to Central Park.
"Central Park, Bow Bridge. There's going to be a boat there with four other women. They're going to be picked up at 10 sharp. If you leave from your apartment now, you can make it."
Before Olivia could say anything, her "partner" hung up. She couldn't help but feel confused, but quickly shook off the feeling. She walked to her bedroom door, stopping in front of the mirror to check her attire. She was wearing a black tank top, with a pair of jeans that hugged her body tightly. She had on a light jacket, and little make-up, knowing she needed to look as if she had just come in from Russia.
She walked out of her apartment, making sure to lock it, before walking down the hall, and into the elevator.
Olivia arrived at Bow Bridge. It took her a few minutes to search the area, looking for the boat, letting out a sigh when she found it. It was hidden in the shadows beneath the bridge, and if anyone would have been walking by, they would have missed it.
She quickly made her way to the boat, and got inside. When she saw the other girls, she knew it was time to get into role. "Where are we?" one of the women asked, tugging at the handcuffs around her wrists. Each woman was handcuffed to the inside of the boat, an technique to ensure no one would try to escape.
Olivia handcuffed herself to the boat, like the others, without being noticed by anyone. When she heard the footsteps of at least three people heading their way, she took a deep breath. This was probably the most scared, besides when she had been in the basement with Harris, she had been in her life, and she knew it would only get worse. "I'll get the girls, get the car."
Olivia listened as one of the men came down the stairs. "Get up" he said to the girls, as he began to handcuff each of them. "You run, you die" he said, waving the gun in his hand.
He got them out of the boat, and piled them into a dark van, driving them to their own personal hell.
The ride there had been quiet. Each of the girls had been praying, silently asking for a way out of this predicament. They each had an idea of what was going to happen to them, and they knew that if they tried to run, or fight back, they'd end up dead.
Olivia watched as the man pulled up to a small townhouse. She was never a religious person, so instead of praying for her safety, she had been watching her surroundings, observing the two men in the front seats, and where they had been driving.
She knew this was the beginning of the toughest thing she'd ever have to do, and she didn't know how much it would actually change her life.
The two men quickly escorted the women into the house, quickly locking the door behind them. Once inside the house, they were lead into a large room, that would normally be the family room. There were three couches that lined the room, and sitting in those couches, were Nathaniel Gordon, and Seth Parker, along with two other men. They stopped their conversation, and turned to face the women. "Great catch, dont you agree Seth?" Gordon asked, taking in the five women standing in front of him.
Parker nodded. "Drew, Tony" he said, referring to the two men who had driven Olivia and the other four there. "You know the drill." He turned to the two on the other couch and nodded. "Princeton, Karusso, you too." Each man nodded, before getting up, and grabbing one of the women, leaving Olivia free. "Where's Kent?"
"I'm right here." Olivia, as well as the rest of them, turned to see the man walk in the room from upstairs. Olivia looked at the man and gasped. Cragen wasn't lying when he said she'd know who her contact was.
"Kent, you take the brunette in the middle." Parker leaned back into the couch and watched as Kent walked up to Olivia.
Olivia looked away. She looked to her right, and saw the two men, Drew and Tony, hovered over two women, one blonde woman, and a smaller brunette. She watched as they ran their hands over the two, placing them in their blouses and bottoms. She turned to her left, and saw Princeton and Karusso doing the same to two other blondes. It became clear to Olivia that this was one of the searches that Cragen had been talking about. When he said they did a thourough search, he wasn't exaggerating.
Olivia looked up and spotted the man who had been assigned to search her a few inches away. She wanted nothing more than to slap him, to tell him to get the fuck away from her. She wanted to scream at him, but she didn't want to draw attention to herself. She watched as he inched further toward her. Placing his hands on her hips, he pushed her up against the wall, never once breaking eye contact with her. She knew she needed an explaination, and the look in his eyes told her he was willing to give it.
She smiled, slightly, just enough for him to see. He smiled back. Somehow seeing him, there in front of her, ready to help her though this, calmed her uneasy nerves. He was the only one who could do that, who could make the most horrible situations seem hardly worth the stress. He was the only one she could trust to watch her back in a situation like this, after all, they had been partners for eleven years. No one knew Olivia better than Elliot, and when she saw him standing in front of her, ready to do a thourough and complete search of her body, she knew it was only Elliot that she would be able to get her through these next few days.
Yeah, so Elliot's there, yay! Teehee ;) So, now we know where he's been for the past few days. So, what happens when Elliot and Olivia talk about the case? And how does that oh so unexpected body search go?
Okay, so tell me what you think. Sorry it might have been a little choppy. I was packing to move, and I needed a break.
So, I hope you guys like this :) Review for me to continue :)
