Ok, well I decided to upload this now because I will be extremely busy this week, I probably won't be online until next weekend. Also, thank you soo much for the reviews, and what you all have been saying, I really appreciate it, so without further ado, here's chapter 3 :)
"Mr. Osborne, sorry to keep you waiting" Elliot said smugly as he entered the interrogation room, followed by Olivia. He sat on the edge of the table, across from Jeffrey Osborne, and his defense attorney, Trevor Langan, as Olivia closed the door quietly. "This is quite a rap sheet Mr. Osborne" she said staring at the file in her hands. "Arrested four years ago for sexual assault, charged at seventeen for battery, and posession of an unregistered firearm. Looks like you've got quite a reputation." Olivia threw the file in front of Trevor and sat down next to her partner. Trevor flipped through the file, secretly disgusted that he was stuck with someone so horrible. "So, why'd you do it Osborne?" Elliot asked, getting closer to their suspect. "I didn't do nothing!" Jeffrey leaned back in his chair, while Langan sat quietly, listening intently. "Stay quiet" he advised as he continued to look through the file. Before another word could be said, there was a knock on the door. A second later, Melinda Warner came through the door, file in hand. "You're screwed you bastard! DNA proves you raped Rachel Anderson, and the bullets found in both victims match the gun that was found with your prints all over it." Warner quietly handed Elliot the file and walked out of the room, content with the look on Jeffrey's face as she proved him guilty.
Elliot smiled as Osborne's face became angry. "So, why'd you do it? She piss you off? Find out your criminal record decide she didn't want to date a scum bag like yourself. Did she get a new man that just made you realize everything you could never have-" "The bitch deserved it!" Olivia stard at Elliot, then at Jeffrey, who was reflecting the look of anger her partner was giving on his own face. "Tell us what happened." Olivia said, equally angered by his suddend outburst. "You don't have to answer that" Trevor replied, trying to keep him quiet. Jeffrey tried to compose himself. He took a few deep breaths but was cut off again by Trevor. "My client has nothing else to say." "Yes I do. I'm going to tell them what she did." Jeffrey stared Olivia straight in the eyes, hoping to break her, but he obviously knew nothing of the detective, as she went along and continually gave him a stern look. "Tell me what happened." Osborne chuckled to himself as he looked over to Elliot. "Strong partner you have here." Elliot ignored his comment and crosses his arms over his chest. "Ok, ok. I went to Rache's apartment and found her there with another man. I waited 'til he left to make my move. I told her if I couldn't have her, no one would, so I had sex with her." "You raped her!" Olivia raised her voice, getting off her chair. Both her and Elliot were contimplating the consquences of using violence on him, especially since Trevor was present. They knew they could lose their badges, so they decided against it, for now.
"I just gave her what she wanted. That whore was sleeping around with everyone she could. When I was done, she tried to call the cops." "So you shut her up!" Olivia pulled a picture of Rachel's body out of Warner's file and slammed it on the table. "You knew you were going back to jail, so you shot her, and pulled her dead body back on the bed." Olivia put her hands on the table and leaned across it, staring at Jeffrey in the face. "Did it make you feel powerful, knowing she screamed for you to stop. Did you feel like a man!" Olivia was in Jeffrey's face while Elliot and Trevor watching in surprise. "Man, control your woman!" Jeffrey shouted, directed to Elliot of course. There was a light knock on the one-sided mirror, no doubt Cragen was on the other end, warning Olivia to keep herself composed. Olivia, however, was too angry at the moment to care about keeping composed. She pushed herself away from the table and walked over to Jeffrey, who was already on edge. Olivia got into his face and continued to rant. "Am I pissing you off, just like Rachel did. You strangled her, while you raped her!" "Shut up" Jeffrey yelled, trying to keep his temper. "Detective Stabler, control your partner" Trevor said, quite harshly, as he kept his eyes on Olivia. "Liv!" Elliot tried to yell at her, but she only continued. "What are you going to do Jeffrey? You going to prove what kind of a man you are, just like you did with Rachel?" Olivia picked up the picture Warner took of the body and shoved it into his face. "Is this what a real man does?!?" "You bitch!" Before Elliot could stop him, Jeffrey grabbed Olivia by the throat and pulled her to the table. He leaned his body above her as his hands began to tighten around her throat. Olivia tried to pry his hands off, but he was too strong for her. Elliot rushed to her side, trying to seperate the two while Trevor stood there, wide eyed, too shocked to move.
The door flew open as Cragen rushed in and came to Olivia's aid. He and Elliot pried Mr. Osborne off of Olivia, as Trevor quickly ran to restrain him. Elliot turned to see Olivia stand uup, holding her throat, breathing as if she had just run a marathon. He sighed, relieved, when he saw that she was alright, but what she did next surprised him. Olivia sprang after Jeffrey, ready to attack. She would have hit him too, had Elliot not been there to catch her and hold her back. "Let me go!" she screamed as Elliot tightened his grib on her waist. "You bitch! Just wait" Osborne threatened. "Get her out of here" Cragen barked to Elliot. He complied and dragged the still fighting Olivia, out of the room. When the two were safely out of the room, Elliot released his grib on her. "Mr. Langan, control your client" was all Cragen said before he appeared with the two, slamming the door on his way out. When he saw Olivia, he became angry. "What the hell was that?" His voice was filled with anger, but laced with concern, similar to that of a worried father. "Captain, you saw him. He has absolutely no remorse. The bastard needs to pay!" "And he will, but I won't let him take one of my best detectives down with him." Cragen turned to Elliot and took a deep breath. "Elliot, finish the interrogation, see what else you can get out of him. You-" he said facing Olivia, "stay here!" "But Captain-" "Am I understood!?!" Olivia looked at her captain, eyebrows furrowed. She was angry that he didn't trust her, but at the same time she was grateful. Captain Cragen had been more of a father to her over the past few years, and she knew he cared for her as if sh was his own daughter. Still, at times, he became a little overprotective of her, causing him to over react at times. "Yes sir," she finally replied. Cragen stared as his detective before leaving the room. Elliot, who had stayed quiet this whole time, walked up to his partner. His eyes were soft, and almost apologetic, and when he spoke, it wasn't harsh. "You okay?" he asked, reaching out to grab the handle of the door. Olivia placed her hand on her head and rubbed her temple. "I'm fine" she answered, not bothering to look at him. Elliot sighed before he entered the room again. Olivia crossed her arms over her chest as she watched her partner continue the interrogation.
"Mr. Osborne, let's see if we can get through this now." Elliot sat down and continued to question him. "How did you know David Ramirez?" "I didn't know him." Elliot continued, not convinced. "Then why'd you kill him?" "Detective, my client stated he did not know the victim, why would he kill him?" Elliot looked at Trevor and scoffed. "Ask him" he said, pointing an index finger at Jeffrey. "Look man, I didn't kill him, no matter how much you ask, I'm not saying a thing." Jeffrey leaned back in his chair, arms folded across his chest. "Detective, I think we're done here. Tell Miss Cabot we'll have arraignment tomorrow morning." "And until then, your client will stay in the tombs." With that, Elliot handcuffed Jeffrey and led him to the tombs, with Trevor following close behind.
When Elliot dragged Mr. Osborne out of the room, Olivia looked away. She wasn't going to dare look at him, fearing the urge to attack him would return. She waited at her desk a few minutes, thinking of everything that had happened that day. A few minutes later, she heard the quiet footsteps of her partner coming up to her desk. "So, what are you going to do with Avery?" Olivia yawned, obviously she was exhausted. "I'll stay with her tonight."
The two went up to the cribs, quietly, debating if they should talk about the attack. Elliot took the hint when Olivia walked slightly ahead of him, as if she was in a rush to get somewhere. She opened the door and the two walked in, looking to see Avery laying on one of the beds with Alex on the bed next to her. "Alex?" Olivia's voice was soft, as she was careful not to wake Avery. Alex turned to see Olivia and smiled. She got off the bed, placing her glasses on her face, and walked over to the two detectives. "How'd it go?" Olivia rubbed her neck, as she looked at Avery asleep. "Add assualt to an officer to the charges." Alex's eyes widened, and got even bigger when she saw the faint bruising around her friend's neck. "What the hell happened?" she asked, as she pulled Olivia's shirt back, examining her neck. Olivia tried to pull her shirt collar up, preventing Elliot from seeing it, but it was already too late. "What the hell Liv? He practically choked you to death." "I'm fine El," she said, slightly annoyed at his exaggerated comment, "besides we have bigger things to worry about." Olivia looked at Avery and Elliot's eyes followed her gaze to the teen on the bed. Elliot nodded and sighed. He knew she was right, besides, Olivia was a big girl, she could handle herself. "Well, I have to prepare for the arraignment. I'll see you two later." With that Alex walked out, leaving Elliot, Olivia and Avery, who they both thought was asleep. "Let me see." Before she could move or protest, Elliot was examining the bruising on her neck left by their suspect. "El, I'm fine." She looked in his eyes and noitced how much the red coloring was taking over the gorgeous blue. Lack of sleep, for the both of them, proved dangerous. "Elliot, go home." "There's no one to go home to" he said under his breath. Not wanting to pick a fight Olivia sighed. "Go, get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled at him, causing him to grin. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow Liv" he said as he left the room, but not before giving his best friend a hug.
When he left, Olivia closed the door and layed on the bed Alex had previously occupied. She had finally started to relax when she heard her name being called. "Detective?" Olivia quickly sat up and looked at Avery. "I didn't know you were awake." "I couldn't sleep" she confessed. "How am I going to explain this to my mom?" Olivia could hear Avery begin to choke up, so she tried whatever to comfort her. "Detective Stabler and I will drop you off at home tomorrow. We can speak with your mother if you want us to." There was a moment of silence as Avery thought. "Thank you Detective. For everything." Avery turned in the bed. Olivia, likewise, turned in her bed and fell to sleep quickly, catching up on much needed sleep.
