AN: Sorry for the slow updates, I didn't have access to my computer for a couple days. Also, I'd like to apologize about the POV changes in this story...I couldn't find a better way to put things though. Anyway, read on! (:

At the prisoners' lunch time, Rob was planning his escape. They were eating indoors, but in about twenty minutes they would be outside exercising. How would he possibly escape though? There were huge metal gates surrounding the entire prison premises. By every entry and exit, there were at least two guards standing with their guns, just waiting for a prisoner to try to escape. Rob knew that if he could just beat up a few guards, then he could easily escape. But he also knew that there was no way he'd be able to 'just beat up a few guards'. That was almost impossible around here. But maybe with the help of a few prisoners, he could find a way to get out of here...

Olivia was so glad to be out of the whole mess with Rob Lawrence. She was still thinking about it, mentally making sure that there was no way he could get her in trouble. Sure enough, after Olivia and Elliot had told the other cops their version of how things went down with Rob, the cops hadn't even considered that Rob was telling the truth. Olivia knew she was off the hook.

6:00 p.m. Finally time to go home. Olivia stood up to leave, but her phone rang. Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Elliot, who was also getting ready to leave, and she answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Olivia Benson?"

The voice through the phone was a cop that Olivia had talked to about Rob.

"Uh...yes?" Olivia asked.

"Aren't you the arresting officer of Rob Lawrence? I talked to you earlier today...?"

Olivia did her best not to gasp. "Yes, I...I am."

"Somehow or another, a riot started in the prison, led by Mr. Lawrence. He and six other prisoners teamed up at lunch and wounded several officers in the way of their escape, and even killed another. All of them got away, and we've got tons of cops out looking for them, but we still haven't found them and it's been about five hours. We think they must have found some sort of shelter. Due to the story he told me today, which I know is false, Miss Benson, we have reason to believe that he might be wanting to come for you," the officer explained.

Olivia did gasp now.

Elliot stared at her with confusion.

Olivia took a minute to reply. "Uh...Okay. Okay. I'll be careful. I'll...watch out..."

Then she hung up and Elliot came up to her.

"What was that? What happened?" he questioned.

Olivia stared back at him silently.

"What is it? Rob?" he demanded.

"Yeah. He and some other prisoners escaped from prison. They think he's coming after me," she said.

Elliot's eyes widened. "This is bad."

She nodded impatiently. "Yeah, I know that, Elliot."

"But..he can't get to you, Olivia. It's almost impossible...if you and I both stay here in the cribs tonight," he said.

Olivia shook her head. "No. That's out of the question. I'm going home tonight."

"Look, I was going to stay with you tonight anyway, remember? Let's just stay at the precinct though."

Olivia looked down. "You...can stay with me. But not at the precinct. Elliot, he probably won't even come after me tonight anyway. That's too soon, and I'm sure he knows that they've notified me about his escape. His plan's going to be a little better than that. He won't come for a little while, he'll want to get me when I least expect it, not the night of his escape," she pointed out.

He nodded. "All right. But I am staying with you until we're completely sure that he's back in prison."

She shook her head. "Why is that necessary?"

He turned around and fixed his sleeves and began sorting papers into different files. "You know why."

Olivia didn't answer.

"You need protection," he said.

Olivia laughed a little. "Come on, Elliot. I don't need protection. I'm a cop, I've got a gun."

He turned around and kissed her, putting his hand gently on her back. "That's not enough protection for me to be able to sleep at night."

She liked his comfort, his concern for her. She kissed him back and smiled. "Alrighty then. Let's go to my place."

AN: Review for me, and I'll probably have an update by tomorrow! (:
