Thanks to Jo for betaing. You seriously rock Jo!! She improved this chapter so much!!
Her breathing began to quicken as she stepped out
of the tub and grabbed her towel and ran to her bedroom. She
quickly grabbed the phone and began to dial before she noticed a tiny
red light blinking on her bed. She looked up and saw the same
red light coming from the overhead lamp. She stood on the bed
and ripped the lamp from the ceiling and let out a sob as the same
black wire and camera came down, aimed directly at the bed. She
let go of the lamp and sat down on the bed and wrapped the towel
around her tighter as the tears fell faster. She quickly dialed
a phone number and let out a sob.
"Tutuola," Fin
answered.
"Fin!" Olivia cried letting out a
sob.
"Olivia, whats wrong?" he asked nervously.
"You
gotta come to the house and bring the CSU now!"
"Liv,
whats wrong?" Fin asked again, now very worried.
"Please
just hurry."
"Okay, okay, just sit tight and I'll be
right there, okay, baby girl?" Olivia just hung up the phone and
ran over to her dresser and quickly put on the first things she
pulled out. Then she ran out of her room and sat down at the table.
…
"I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry, I'm not
gonna cry," she told herself, but not being able to succeed.
She let out a sob and then buried her head in her arms.
"Oh,
God, why is this happening to me?" she sobbed loudly.
"No,
your not gonna cry," she told herself wiping away the tears.
She took a shaky breath and wiped away the tears.
"Come on
Olivia, you gotta calm down." She stood up and then walked
into Tina's room and looked around.
"Oh, God, no!" she
exclaimed softly seeing a bright red light blinking in Tina's toy
box. Olivia ran over to it and then grabbed the source of the
light, inside a teddy bear. Olivia ripped the head off the
teddy bear and yanked another small camera out of the bear's
eye.
"Fucking bastards!" she screamed into the camera.
She let out a sob and threw down the camera. "You fucking
bastards," she sobbed loudly sliding down the wall.
"What
the hell did I do to deserve this?" she thought to herself not
even hiding the sob, before she heard the front door open. Olivia
quickly stood up and wiped away the tears and grabbed the nearest
heavy object, a large robotic dog. She held it like a weapon
and quietly walked out of the room. She looked around and
slowly walked into the kitchen and quickly scanned the room, seeing
no one. She heard voices coming from her bedroom and letting
out a few trembling breaths, held the dog tighter.
"Hello?"
she asked with a tiny tremor in her voice. She stayed silent
and strained to listen for an answer that didn't come.
She held the dog tighter and slowly made her way to the bedroom.
She backed up against the wall and tried to become less shaky.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before quickly jumping in
front of the doorway, only to be met with a man holding a gun to her
head. .
"Put your weapon down now!" he commanded her.
Olivia didn't listen and instead swung the dog against the man's
head as hard as she could. The man let out a groan and
fell to the floor, his gun flying, across the room. Before
Olivia could even make a move, another man grabbed her arms and
twisted them behind her back and slammed her against the wall,
hard.
"Get off me!" she screamed trying to writhe out of
his way, but the man's grasp was too strong.
"Not a chance
in hell," the man growled pulling out a pair of handcuffs.
"Who
are you?" she asked worriedly trying to make some space between
the wall and her stomach, but when she did the man just held her
tighter against it .
"Shut up!" he ordered her.
Olivia mustered all her strength she could before she lifted her leg
and kicked against the wall, throwing her and her attacker to the
ground. The man released her and Olivia quickly stood up and
tried to run to the door but the man grabbed her by the ankle and she
fell to the floor, twisting herself around so she landed on her back
instead of her stomach. The man pulled her towards him and then
flipped her over once more.
"You fucking bitch!" he
screamed wrapping an arm around her neck to choke her. Olivia tried
to scream for help but she couldn't draw any air into her lungs.
She struggled against him, but the loss of air was making it
difficult to do anything.
She began to feel dizzy when she heard
the front door slam open and then heard someone rush in. Then
she felt the man's weight moving off her. She quickly sat up and
began to gulp long breaths of air and saw Fin struggling with the
man. Fin elbowed him in the nose and the man let out a cry of
pain and let go of him and then put his hands to his nose and then
Fin quickly put him in a choke hold.
"How's it feel, you
son of a bitch?!" Fin hollered at him choking him
tighter.
"Police, let him go now!" the man who Olivia
had knocked out earlier shouted rushing out of the room and aiming a
gun at him.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Fin
snapped holding the man tighter.
"Let him go now! We're
the police," the man yelled again. Fin looked between the
both of them and then threw the man down on the ground.
"What
the hell do you mean your police? That man was attacking my wife when
I walked in here!" Fin cried walking over to Olivia and helping
her up.
"You okay, baby girl?" he asked softly.
All Olivia could do was nod as she struggled to hold back
tears.
"That's officer Jimmy Nielson, I'm officer Will
Banks; we've both been assigned to protect an Olivia Benson. Who the
hell are you two?" Will asked, still holding a gun at Fin.
"You mean you're the protective detail?!" Fin
asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, her husband asked us to rush over
here and when we did that woman was here and she assaulted me."
Olivia scoffed
and shook her head. "I can't believe this, my own protective
detail tried to kill me. I knew this wasn't a good idea."
Will
and Jimmy looked at one another before Will lowered his gun.
"You
mean your Olivia Benson?" Olivia nodded
"Yes,
that's why I was in my damn house. What the hell did you aim
a gun at me?!" she sceamed at him.
"Well, I um, I
thought you may have been an intruder," he said a little
ashamed.
Olivia shook her
head and then turned to Jimmy. "I want you out of my house
now."
"Come on, Mrs. Benson, I didn't know you-"
"I
don't give a shit!" she cried out. "You slammed me up
against a wall hard, then you tried to kill me by choking me! I want
you out now and I want a replacement." Jimmy stammered
then looked a Fin who was looking at him with anger in his eyes.
"Mr.
Tutuola I-"
"I don't give a shit either. You
almost killed my wife when you were supposed to be protecting her.
I want both of you gone now!" Fin yelled angrily.
"Look,
either you deal with the two of us or no one." Will said walking
up and standing next to Jimmy. "You think there's a line
around the block to sign up for protective detail? The only
reason they sent two of us was because you're both cops. Now,
if you want us to leave fine, however there's no other officers
available for the job." Olivia and Fin shared a look before
they turned back to the two of them.
"You don't touch me, you
don't talk to me, I don't even want to know anything about the two of
you besides your names . Do you understand me?" Olivia said
forcefully.
"Of course Mrs. Benson," Jimmy answered
sarcastically
"It's Detective Benson," she said angrily.
"Fine, Detective Benson, you won't even know we're
here." Olivia glared at him before she turned to
Fin.
"Where's Tina?"
"Staying with Cragen until
Elliot returns, then he's gonna take her back to his house."
Olivia nodded.
"Great, where are Munch and Elliot?"
"At the
library, they're trying to see if anyone recognizes the photo of
them." Olivia nodded then there was a knock at the
door.
"See," Olivia said walking to the door, "since
they know how to knock, I'm not gonna hit them upside the head with a
heavy robotic dog."
"We should probably get that
detective," Will said, rushing up to the door before Olivia
could take the knob.
Olivia groaned and rolled her eyes
before she walked back to Fin.
"This is Officer Banks, state
your name."
"I'm CSI Mark Green along with my team.
We've been told to come to his address right away by a detective
Tutuola"
"Let them in," Olivia told them.
Will nodded before he opened the door and about ten CSI's came
in.
"What's the problem?" he asked coming up to
Fin.
"I'll show you" Olivia said leading the CSU into
the bathroom, Will and Jimmy following.
"Liv what's going
on?" Fin asked as Olivia pulled back the shower curtain.
"What
the hell is that?" he asked in confusion looking at the camera
.
"It's a little camera; it was aiming through one of the
tiles. There was also one aiming at our bed and one in Tina's
bedroom" Olivia said looking down a little embarrassed.
"Son
of a bitch!" Fin bellowed angrily smashing his hand against the
wall
"How did you find it?" one of the CSIs. asked
climbing on the edge of the tub and examining the camera
better.
"There was a little red light blinking, all three of
them were." The CSI examined it closer then gave a barely
noticeable nod.
"This model will do that when its battery
runs out. Definitely one of the most expensive and high quality you
can buy. So it's gonna be harder to trace to see who bought
them."
"We already know who bought them. The same people
who gave you the injection, the same people who beat up Ken, and the
same people who sent the note. How long have we been watched?"
Fin asked, forcing himself to remain calm.
"I'd say three
months."
"Three months?!" both Olivia and Fin
exclaimed in anger and fear.
"Oh my God, we've been watched
for three months and I didn't even know it. How, how could I not have
known my family was being watched by two skin head psychos?"
Olivia said collapsing against the sink.
"Baby, it's gonna be
okay," Fin said softly.
Olivia just shook
her head. "How is it gonna be okay? Two neo-Nazi freaks have
been spying on us for three months, Ken's in the hospital, my
protective detail just tried to kill me, the same people who have
been spying on us injected me with some mystery drug that's
supposed to kick in, in three days that I have no clue what it does.
Hell, for all I know I could wake up dead or paralyzed for life in
three days. So how can you sit there and try to tell me
everything's gonna be okay?"
Fin just opened his mouth
then shut it again, unsure of what to say.
"I don't know, but
I know arguing is getting us no where. You just gotta trust me
that I'm not gonna let anything hurt you or Tina."
Olivia sighed the
nodded. "I'm sorry, I just, it's been a rough few days ya know?"
Fin nodded then turned to the CSIs.
"So what do you need to
do to make sure there are no more cameras in the house?"
"We're
gonna have to go through them with an electric scope, but again these
are very, very high quality cameras we're dealing with so I don't
know if we'll be able to catch them all."
"How long
should it take?"
The CSI shrugged.
"About a day."
"A day?! Where the hell are we
supposed to sleep tonight?" Olivia asked.
The man shrugged. "I'm sorry, best advice I can give you right now is to stay in a hotel"
Olivia sighed
then nodded. "Fine, Fin, will you call a hotel and I'll go pack
some things up okay?"
"Why can't we just stay with
Elliot and Kathy?" Fin asked.
Olivia turned around and gave him an almost worried look. "I don't want them in any danger." Fin just gave her a look but shrugged. "Okay, I'll make the reservations."
Olivia nodded then walked out of the bathroom with Will and Jimmy close behind.
New York Public Library
"Can I help you?"
the very elderly women behind the large desk asked with a heavy
Russian accent as Munch and Elliot walked up to her.
"Police,
I'm detective Stabler, this is detective Munch, Manhattan SVU."
"Police?" the women asked nervously. "Did
something happen to Tessa?"
"No ma'am, we were just
wondering if we could ask you some questions." The women
let out a sigh of relief
"I'm sorry, Tessa, my seven year old
granddaughter is staying with me and my husband this week and I'm a
little bit paranoid. But what can I help you officers
with?"
"Have you ever seen these two gentlemen?"
Elliot asked taking out the picture from their newsaxons profile and
showing it to her.
At the sight of their picture the womans face
fell and anger and feared shone in her eyes.
"Ye- yes, they
come in here about once a month and go on the computers for about
five hours."
"Is that normal for someone to be on the
computers that long?"
The women nodded.
"Yes, the college is right across the street so sometimes we
have students in here from opening to closing time."
"No
offense ma'am, but if it's so common, then how can you remember
these two?" Elliot asked kindly. The women wiped the tears
forming in her eyes and then rolled up her sleeve with a shaking
hand.
"Oh, God," Elliot mumbled when he saw faded
concentration camp numbers tattooed on her arm.
"I wore short
sleeves one day," she said with tears in her voice. "They
came up and asked me where they could find 'The Turner Diaries'.
I told them and they saw the tattoo on my arm. They called me a
kike, and a liar, and then they said that I should live the lie I
made up and I should go jump in an oven."
She let out a sob
but quickly covered it up with a shaking hand. Elliot cast a
look over to Munch and saw his eyes quickly fill with anger.
"Do
you know what computer they used?" Munch asked trying to
hold back his anger.
The woman wiped away her tear and began
quickly clicking some things on her computer. "Computer 13,
they went on two websites. Newsaxon .com, and tightrope. cc."
Munch handed her his business card. "If they come in again, will you please contact us?" he asked kindly.
The woman tucked the card in her pocket. "Ye- yes, of course."
Elliot gave her a weak smile and walked out. Munch began to follow but then turned and went back to the desk.
"whats he
doing?" Elliot wondered to himself, walking back in and
listening in on Munchs conversation
"Where were you?" he
asked softly.
The women looked at him for a few moments before she pulled her sleeve back down. "Auschwitz, one and a half years."
Munch nodded and sighed
"My father was in Auschwitz too, twelve years. I have no clue how he managed to survive that place."
The woman just gave him a small smile. "We were the lucky ones."
Munch nodded then
gave he a weak smile.
"Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh
ha olam, ha gomel lahayavim tovot sheg'malani kol tov."
she mumbled softly
"Mi heg'malayikh kol tov hu yigmalayikh
kol tov selah" he mumbled back. They smiled at each other before
he left and slid in the car, ignoring Elliot's concerned look.
"You
okay?" he asked joining him in the car..
"I'm gonna kill
them" Munch said angrily before starting the car and driving
off.
"What was it she said to you in there?" Elliot asked
"Just a jewish prayer someone says when they've survived a danger."
Elliot wasn't sure what to say for a few moments so he simply nodded. After about a minute of silence, Elliot finally spoke
"I never knew you were a Holocaust survivor."
Munch shook his head, "I'm not. My parents were. It was their identity. They wore it like an old coat. That's not how I want the world to see me."
"John, it's part of your heritage, you shouldn't just forget it."
Munch glared at him. "I'll never forget," he said heatedly. After a moment, his expression softened. "I just needed to be more than that."
