16th precinct, 30 minutes later
"So what did you guys find out?" Cragen asked as Elliot and Munch walked into the precinct.
"Both of them use the computers in the Public Library, but they only use them about once a month so that doesn't help us all that much, but the librarian said if they showed up she would call us."
"So basically we have nothing," Munch said bitterly flopping down in his chair.
"What's your problem?" Cragen asked turning to him.
"Oh nothing," Munch said angrily standing up, "besides the fact that two skin head freaks are after my partner, then add the fact that they harassed a holocaust victim, Don. How low do you have to go to do something like that?"
But before Cragen could answer, Fin and Olivia walked in along with Will and Jimmy following right behind them.
"Where's Tina?" Olivia asked slightly nervous going up to Cragen.
"She's in my office; shouldn't you two be at the hospital with Ken?"
"Yes, but something important came up and we had to leave," Fin said as Olivia went in Cragen's office.
"What is so important that you're not with you son who was attacked?" Cragen asked confused before Olivia came running out of his office.
"She's not in there!" Olivia cried worriedly.
"What are you talking about?" Cragen said walking over and looking in his office.
"She's not in your office! Where is she Don!?" Olivia demanded almost hysterically.
"She was just in there, Olivia, you need to relax, I'm sure she's getting a soda or something."
"You lost my daughter and your trying to tell me to relax?!" she screamed at him before Tina walked through one of the doors carrying a Snickers bar. Olivia ran up to her and kneeled down in front of her
"Where were you?!" she practically yelled.
"I, I was getting a Snickers," she stammered nervously.
"Don't you ever leave without telling someone where you're going! Do you understand me?!" Olivia demanded almost hysterically.
"I'm sorry," Tina said sniffing and letting a few tears fall down her face. "Please don't be mad at me mommy."
Olivia sighed then pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry sweetie, but please don't do that again okay?"
Tina nodded then Olivia picked her up and carried her over to her desk and got out the coloring books and crayons she kept for her.
"Here, Baby, go in Uncle Don's office okay?"
"What's wrong, Mommy?" Tina asked taking the coloring books.
"Nothing and I'm sorry I yelled at you okay?"
Tina nodded then yawned before she walked into Cragen's office.
"Okay, what was that about? I mean don't you think you over reacted just a little? And who are these guys?" Elliot asked going over to her.
"Trust me if you found what we just found, you would be acting the same way," Fin said going up to Olivia.
"What did you guys find?" Cragen asked them.
"Cameras, so far we've found three of them. There was one in our bedroom, one in our bathroom, and one in Tina's room. CSU says they've been there for about three months. We dropped them off at TARU and we're trying to see if they can get a signal from them."
Cragen, Elliot, and Munch looked at Olivia and Fin with shocked expressions, trying to register the fact that not only had Fin and Olivia had pictures taken of them on the outside, but their own home was invaded.
"Do we know who did it?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah. The same people who took the pictures, the same people who gave me the injection which, by the way, I still have no fucking clue what it's gonna do to me, the same person who gave Tina the note, and the same people who beat up Ken."
"Remember innocent until proven guilty Mrs. Benson," Will told her.
"Who the hell are you?" Cragen asked him.
"I'm Officer Will Banks, this is my partner Jimmy Nielson, and we've been assigned to be Mrs.Benson's protective detail."
"And I told you both to keep your mouths shut and to be seen and not heard right?" Olivia told them, the attack still fresh in her mind.
"Sorry," Will said, not sounding sorry in the least.
"But you know, a lot of people still believe interracial relationships are wrong."
Olivia glared at him and he raised his hands defensively. "I'm just saying…Personally, I think there's a reason God made some people one way and some people another, but it's a free country. You can do what you want as long as it doesn't infringe on my rights."
"How the hell can you think like that and be assigned to protect her?" Cragen asked crossing his arms.
"Look all I'm saying is-" he began but was interrupted when Tina walked out of Cragens office and up to Olivia.
"Mommy will you take me potty?" she asked quietly.
"Sweetie you know where it is, you can go by yourself."
" 'Member you yelled at me 'cause you didn't know where I was, so I thought I'd ask you to take me." Olivia smiled down at her before taking Tina's hand.
"Let's go," Tina smiled back up at her before they both walked towards the bathroom.
"Poor kid, "Elliot heard officer Neilson mutter when they were out of ear shot
"What do you mean?"
"Well, look at her. Ten, twelve years from now, who's gonna want to date a chick that looks like Macy Gray?" he said with a sneer. "She's never going to have a good hair day. It's a common problem for women of mixed race."
"There's more important things than just looks, you know," Elliot said. "Besides, I think she's a beautiful kid."
"Of course you do," Jimmy smirked, "But don't give me that Martin Luther King crap about the content of her character. Young guys aren't looking to get laid by an ugly girl with good character. They want a hottie with loose morals and knees that don't stick together, and you know it. If those two really wanted to be good parents, they would have set aside their animal instincts and adopted single-race child."
"You mean a white kid?" Elliot asked in disgust.
Jimmy shrugged. "Well, white kids tend to do better in school," he said. "White adults are more likely to hold a job, less likely to live in poverty, and less likely to go to jail. But I suppose a black kid could do all right, too, if it was raised right."
"By white parents?" Elliot asked.
"Or black," Jimmy said, "as long as they can keep it off drugs and welfare."
"You know what?" Elliot said, giving him that squint that his friends knew was a sign that he was about to lose his temper.
"What?"
"You need to shut up and get away from me before you get hurt."
"Sorry," Jimmy said with a shrug and moved away.
"What's going on?" Olivia asked walking up to them.
"Nothing, just having a little chat about parenting" Jimmy said with a small smirk.
Olivia looked at him with confusion and a little bit of caution before she turned to Tina.
"Go back and wait in Uncle Don's office okay?" Tina nodded before she walked back into Cragens office, shutting the door behind her.
"Anyway," Cragen said giving Jimmy a distasteful look before turning back to Olivia, "can we be sure it's the same people who beat up Ken?"
Olivia nodded then pulled out an evidence bag containing the letter that she received from Theresa. "This was found with Ken when they attacked him, it's the same people, Don."
Cragen took it and quickly read it before he passed it to Elliot.
"I can't believe this. Okay here's what we're going to do. Olivia you're relieved of your duty until these guys are found. Now-"
"No, I want to help catch these freaks. I don't care if they're after me or not, I am gonna investigate and help catch them whether you say to or not," Olivia told him crossing her arms.
"And I want you safe Olivia," Fin told her. "I don't want these people to get their hands on you. Why don't you take the time off, okay? It's just a precaution."
"No, and in case you didn't notice, those cameras we're watching you too, they posted pictures of you also."
"They didn't make my car explode, they didn't say they wanted to 'bleach' and rape me."
"Whoa, who the hell said they wanted to bleach and rape me?" Olivia asked slightly appalled.
"The same person who posted our pictures online left that comment under one where you were about five months pregnant with Tina."
Olivia sunk down in her chair, weighing her options. She could take the time off and not catch the people who were making her life hell, and at the same time keep her unborn child safe. But on the other hand, she had to catch them herself and make sure they would never bother her or her family again.
"Olivia," Elliot said going up to her, "maybe you should take the time off. I mean you do have other things to worry about besides your own health," he said nodding towards her stomach.
Fin saw the movement but decided against saying anything about it.
"Look, Elliot, I know what you're saying, but I can't just sit back and watch as you guys catch the creeps who have been tormenting me. I mean yes it would be safer, but I can't go around not doing anything when they're out there plotting to try to destroy my family. I know that right now I probably should take time off from this case, but I can't. I need to catch these people, not just for me, but for," she paused, resting a hand on her small baby bump, "for other things."
"Wouldn't that other thing be safer if you did take time off?" Elliot said crossing his arms.
"Maybe, but I can't just do nothing. I need to find and catch them myself."
Elliot shook his head then sat back down at his desk. He knew that if Olivia hadn't been pregnant then there would be no chance in hell she would have taken time off, but she WAS pregnant, and with her age and the fact that she had two miscarriages before put the baby and her at an even higher risk if something were to happen.
"Look, I have no clue what you're talking about with the 'other thing', but you're taking time off. I don't care what you think, Olivia, you are going to take time off."
"You're not gonna tell me what to do Fin."
"Do you really want to get yourself killed?"
"I'm going to get these freaks, and I don't care if I get myself killed!" she yelled back.
"What about your baby? " Elliot cried out before Olivia could stop him, "Don't you care if that gets killed?"
"What baby?" Fin asked looking over at Elliot before quickly looking back at Olivia, "Olivia, are you pregnant?"
"No," she lied avoiding his eyes, "he was talking about Tina right?" She told him looking at Elliot with a pleading look.
Elliot nodded quickly. "Yes, I was talking about Tina. But, Olivia, her pictures were on that site, too, okay? There was a camera in her room, too. Did you ever think for a second about her? Did you even once stop to think about the fact that these freaks are after her as well as you and Fin?"
"I have! And I am not going to act like a coward in front of her and just stand down while the rest of you all go after this guy!" she shouted.
"Settle down, Benson, you are out of order!" Cragen yelled at her.
"You're out of order! You're saying just because some prick is after me I need to sit out! Well I got news for you, I can handle myself! I don't give a shit if I'm being stalked or not!" she screamed at him.
"Detective Benson you WILL take it easy or I swear to God you will be on desk duty until you retire! Now calm down!" Cragen ordered her.
She sighed then sat down at her desk and looked down. "This guy," she began softly, "is the only perp who has ever really scared me this bad. These two people choose to hate me because of who I love; do you know sick that is, to actually hate someone because they fell in love and started a family with that person? Do you know how sick, and demented you have to be to do that?" she asked looking up at Cragen.
"I know you want to keep me safe, but I need to catch these people myself. I need to know that they'll be in jail and can never try to do anything to me or my family again. They almost killed Tina, Don. If she wouldn't have taken the stairs instead of the elevator when my car blew up, she would be dead right now because of the explosion. I can't just let that go and step aside knowing they tried to kill my daughter."
Cragen looked at Fin who just looked down. He knew that if someone had tried to kill his child, if he had any, then he wouldn't want to stand down and let someone else try to catch him either.
"Olivia," Cragen told her, "If you really want to catch these people then, then I'm not gonna stop you."
"But captain!" Elliot began but Cragen cut him off.
"It's Olivia's choice, however," he said turning to Fin. "Do you have any problem with this?"
Fin sighed then shook his head. He knew Olivia was too bull headed to just leave the chase up to the rest of the squad. That was one of the reasons he fell for her a little while after he began working there. When she decided that she was gonna do something she was, and there was no turning back, no matter what anyone else said, and he loved that about her.
"No, I don't have a problem with it," he said looking down at Olivia who just gave him a weak smile.
"Wail a minute here," Jimmy said walking up to them. "My partner and I have been assigned to protect you, if you're going to willingly put yourself at risk, then I'm afraid there's not much we can do."
"What, did you think I was gonna sit on the couch reading romance novels and eating bonbons all day while you two sat in the kitchen eating all our food?" Olivia asked standing back up again.
"No," he said with a small glare, "we were just under the assumption that you weren't that stupid to go and chase after two people who want to kill you."
"Well you were wrong, now why don't you go attack another one of your clients?" Jimmy scoffed then walked up to her, ""You got a smart mouth. I'll bet it's good for more than just insulting people" he said somewhat lustfully
"Hey!" Fin shouted pushing him away from Olivia. "Don't you ever talk to my wife like that again! Do you understand me?"
"Oh, calm down I was just playing."
"Well that type of 'playing' is called sexual harassment," Cragen said crossing his arms.
"Whatever" he mumbled sitting on the edge of Olivias desk.
"Anyway, you guys right now it's almost ten, we don't have any leads as to where these freaks might be, and until the TARU guy gets a signal or these two people go into the library and the librarian calls us, then there's nothing more we can do tonight. So why don't we all just go home?" Olivia groaned softly, not wanting to go home and wanting to do something about this case now.
"Come on," Fin said affectionately putting an arm around Olivia's waist, knowing she was disappointed she couldn't do anything more for tonight. "I called the hotel and they said we could come in anytime before eleven." Olivia nodded then went into Cragen's room to get Tina.
"So even with all this going on, you two are getting a hotel room? Damn, and after five years of being married to Kathy I was lucky if she wore something besides a baggy T-shirt and sleeper pants to bed," Elliot said with a smirk.
"We're not getting a hotel room for that reason, CSU is still scanning our apartment for cameras and we needed a place to stay."
"Why not stay with me or Munch?"
"Olivia didn't want to put anyone else in danger."
They both nodded then Olivia came out carrying a sleeping Tina in her arms.
"She must have been wiped out," Elliot said going over to her and taking Tina from her.
"Truth be told so am I, but you wanna stop by our house and get some of her things?"
"She's just spending one night though."
"I know, but she hates going to bed without her teddy bear."
"Okay, but how about you just drop it off, I want to get her into bed. She's had a rough day," Elliot said getting on his coat.
"Okay, I'll be by later alright?" Elliot nodded.
"Alright, see you in a bit." Elliot carried Tina out to his car and got into it then drove off.
"I hope she's okay," Olivia said softly.
"She will be," Fin said going up to her and wrapping an arm around her. "Don't worry about it Liv, nothings gonna happen to her."
Olivia looked down for a second before she looked back up.
"Like nothing happened to Ken?"
Fin opened his mouth to protest but couldn't because he knew she as right. "Come on," he said after a few moments of silence, "Let's go to our apartment and get our stuff." "I don't think that's a good idea, detective," Jimmy said, "for all we know the perps may be watching the house"
"Well my daughter can't sleep without her teddy bear, so I guess I'm just gonna suck it up" Fin said somewhat angrily. The two of them glared at each other for a few seconds before the four of them walked out of precinct, neither Fin or Olivia knowing that this was the last night they would ever spend in peace.
Kathy and Elliot's house in Queens, twenty minutes later
"El, what are you doing here? Your not off work until twelve and what is Tina doing with you?" Kathy whispered as Elliot carried Tina into their house.
"I'll explain why later. But could you do me a favor and go get one of my old T-shirts from my room and change her into it and lay her down in the guest room? But don't wake her up; she's had a long day."
Kathy nodded before she took Tina from Elliot and carried her up the stairs. Elliot took off his coat and hat and threw them on the couch before sighing and leaning his head back.
"Why, Olivia? Why do you have to be so damned stubborn?" he muttered a little scared and a little angry. He sighed once more before flipping on the TV and didn't even bother to change what was on. He didn't care, he just wanted something to distract him.
"Is everything okay, Elliot?" Kathy asked from the doorway. Elliot looked over at her and shook his head.
"No, everything's not okay."
Kathy walked in the living room and sat next to him. "You wanna talk about it?"
"Is Tina in bed?"
"Yes, but don't change the subject, Elliot, why did you bring Tina home with you, and where are Olivia and Fin?"
Elliot just shrugged and shut off the TV.
"They're staying at a hotel tonight, they'll be by later to drop off Tina's teddy bear."
"But why though? Nothing happened to them did it?"
"No, in fact, just forget I ever said anything," Elliot said beginning to stand up but Kathy held him back.
"Look, I'm Tina's godmother and one of Olivia's closet friends. Tell me what's wrong with them," she demanded. Elliot sat back down and put his head in his hands.
"Olivia's pregnant again."
"Really?" Kathy cried out joyfully. "Well what's wrong with that? That's great news!"
"No, it's not; she's pregnant and won't tell Fin about it. She doesn't want to worry him." Kathy shrugged. "Well, Sweetie, you can't really blame her, I mean she had two miscarriages before. If I was her I would wait until I was positive that everything would be all right with my baby."
"That's not the problem, though. We got this case a few days back, this black and white couple was found raped and murdered, and now the perps have there sights set on Fin and Olivia."
"Oh, my God," Kathy said worriedly. "Well they're all right aren't they? I mean-"
"They're fine for now, but Olivia won't take time off to lay low. Even when she's three months pregnant facing two people that, that I can't even describe the things they say they're gonna do to her, she's not gonna tell Fin she's pregnant and she's not gonna take time off."
"Well, El, come on," Kathy said draping her arms around him. "She's a strong woman who will fight tooth and nail to get what she wants."
"Yeah but she's pregnant, Kathy. She's almost forty, had two miscarriages, and is working at a very stressful job. You wouldn't take at least a month off to make sure everything is safe with the baby?"
"She's a good mother, Elliot; she knows what she's doing." Elliot just shrugged before Kathy pulled him in closer and began kissing his neck. "Now come on, we have a few minutes 'til Olivia and Fin stop by. Why don't I run you a hot bath, and after they drop off her things, I'll come join you okay?" Elliot looked over at her and, despite what was on his mind about Olivia, he smiled at her.
"Thanks, Kathy, and I think a hot bath with you sounds very, very tempting."
"Oh, really?" she said running a finger up and down his arm.
"Really," Elliot answered wagging his eyebrows at her.
She pulled him into a kiss and then ran her fingers through his hair. He quickly pulled her in closer then laid her down on the couch.
"Elliot," she moaned softly as he ran his hand up her shirt.
They heard a window crash from upstairs and they both sat up quickly.
"What the hell was that?" Kathy asked nervously.
"I don't know, stay here," Elliot said getting off the couch and getting his gun out. He quietly went up the stairs, holding the gun out in front of him. He heard a door shut and then a lock click.
"Oh, God, Tina," he mumbled quickly rushing up the stairs and up to the guestroom. He pulled on the door knob but he cried out in pain as he felt the intense heat come from it. He tried slamming it open, but for some reason it wouldn't budge.
"El, what's going on?" Kathy asked nervously running up the stairs, a heavy lamp in her hand.
"I don't know the door won't open. Maybe it's-"
"Oh, God, Elliot, look!" Kathy cried out pointing to the black smoke coming out from under the door.
"Go get the fire extinguisher and call 911 now!" he shouted ramming up against the door with al his might, it still not budging. Kathy quickly ran downstairs while Elliot continued to slam up against the door.
"Tina!" he yelled loudly slamming on the door with his fist. "Tina, wake up please!" He rammed up against the door once more, but it still stayed shut. Then he heard another loud crash and a scream from Kathy. He was about to run down the stairs before he looked back at the door. He had to get Tina out safely, no matter what.
"Kathy! You alright?" he shouted down the stairs, praying she would answer. Just then he saw smoke rise up from the stairs and then Kathy quickly ran up coughing, a large fire extinguisher in her hands.
"I'm fine, but, Elliot, the house is on fire we have to get out of here."
"I got to get Tina out!" he yelled kicking the door. Then there was another loud crash through one of the bedroom windows and fire and smoke quickly filled the bedroom and hallway.
"Oh shit! Get out of here, Kathy!" he shouted slamming the fire extinguisher on the door.
"No, not without you," Kathy said as the door began to get a huge crack in it.
"Get out now!" he yelled slamming it up against the door harder.
"Elliot, I-"she started, but was cut off by a large crack from the door. Elliot threw down the extinguisher and ran back a good distance before running with all his strength and slamming against the door, finally breaking it open.
He quickly ran up to the bed, where Tina was still sleeping, grabbed her and then ran out of the room.
"Come on!" he yelled to Kathy as he made his way down the stairs, Kathy following close behind. He ran into the living room, witch was quickly becoming filled with smoke and fire. He heard footsteps running out of the house.
"Here, go out the back door!" he cried thrusting Tina into Kathy's hands before getting out his gun and running out the front door. He quickly saw two doors slam shut on a large, black car.
"Get out of the car now!" he yelled pointing his gun at the car. The headlights turned on, nearly blinding him.
"Turn off the headlights and get out of the car now!" he ordered them.
The car came screeching towards him, and he stood firm, still aiming the gun at the car. He held his ground for a few more seconds before he jumped out of the way of the speeding car and fell to the ground. The driver threw a cell phone at him before doing a 180 and driving off, tires screeching, and they drove out of sight. "1488NA" Elliot thought to himself memorizing the license plate as he stood up and brushed the dirt from his clothes. He looked at his house that was going up in flames.
"Who the hell was that?" Elliot said out loud as he watched the flames engulf his house.
"Elliot!" Kathy yelled as she ran over to him, Tina still asleep in her arms.
"Damn that girl is a heavy sleeper," Elliot thought to himself as he went over to them.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Kathy asked as he rubbed grass clippings off his shirt.
"I'm fine, how's Tina?" he asked, hearing the distant sirens of the fire trucks.
"She's fine. Elliot, who was that?"
"I don't know," he answered before the phone they had thrown at him started ringing.
Elliot took a hankercheif out of his jacket and went over and answered it.
"Stabler."
"Don't you ever help them again, do you understand me?" someone growled at him.
"Who the fuck is this?" Elliot yelled at the person on the phone.
"Watch your language, Mr. Stabler, your wife's present. Now, you try helping that little race traitor slut and her husband again, and I will kill you, and take that beautiful wife of yours."
"I swear to god you even look at my wife, I'll kill you!" he screamed at him.
"Oh come on, Elliot, aren't you being just a little bit selfish? I mean she is a beautiful Aryan, blond haired, blue eyed goddess. Do you honestly expect any red blooded man to ignore her and let you have her all to yourself? Plus, when whites finally stop being such pussys and letting the kikes and niggers walk all over us and we rise up and take over, she's one of the women that we're gonna need to breed with. I just figured we would get a head start with your wife. We're going to start a new world, one exactly like the Führer imagined."
"You're a sick freak, and I swear to God you are not going to touch Kathy or I will kill you. Now, whoever this is, leave Olivia and Fin alone, and go to hell. You are going to be arrested, and when you are I promise I will put you in a cell with a huge, violent five percenter, and he will know exactly what you did."
"What the hell is a five percenter detective?"
"Religious black supremacists if you want the short story. And that group hates whites more then you hate blacks." Elliot heard the man scoff
"You haven't caught me yet, why should I be afraid now? Now, remember my warning Stabler, stop helping that little traitor or you, that little traitor slut, and her entire nigger family will be sorry. Bye, Elliot" and the man hung up.
"Son of a bitch!" he yelled throwing the phone down, breaking it in two.
"Elliot, who was that?" Kathy asked nervously. Elliot looked at her then shook his head.
"No one, Kathy, no one," he said as the fire truck and ambulance pulled into there driveway.
One Block away
"Nice going, you little dumb ass," Adam said as Joseph hung up the phone. "Now he's probably gonna call her and warn her."
"No, he won't, he cares way too much about his wife. He wouldn't choose to save some little mixing whore over that beautiful goddess. He knows we would make good on our threats."
Adam rolled his eyes. "Whatever. But anyway, tonight's the night right?"
Joseph nodded. "Yeah, is the store all set up?"
Adam nodded. "Yeah, but I was thinking, maybe we should wait until the drug kicks in. I mean she'll be a lot easier to control, not to mention her baby will be dead so she'll probably give into us a lot more easily."
"True, but I want to see the look on her face when she realizes the power we have, and that the Lord our God sent us down here to punish people like her and the little demons growing inside them. Now come on, we got to get to the hotel and wait."
Adam nodded again before Joseph started the car, and drove off into the night.
