When they got to Olivia's apartment, they went in and settled down. Elliot didn't need to drop by his new apartment and get clothes because he already had a bunch at Olivia's place. He'd stayed there quite a bit now, but he still stayed at his own apartment more often.

"He probably won't try anything tonight, but I'm sleeping with my gun under my pillow," Olivia said.

Elliot nodded. "Me too."

They were both silent for a minute, and Olivia finally scooted out from under Elliot's arm.

"Elliot, this is probably going to get bloody, and...I don't want you to get too involved. I know you're wanting to protect me and everything, but...you could really get hurt-"

"I've been hurt for you before, and I'd do it again one million times," he interrupted.

Olivia nodded and looked down at her lap for a minute. "I know you would. That's the problem. You shouldn't. I don't want you to. It's just...he's coming for me, okay? I know that he is. If we're super lucky, neither of us will get hurt. But most likely, he'll at least hurt somebody, and if you stay away from me then I'm the only one who has a chance of getting hurt. It's seven prisoners," Olivia said.

Elliot shook his head. "I know that, but we can get security around your apartment and we can have back-up around us at all times," he pointed out.

Olivia stood up. "They broke out of Riker's prison, Elliot! Do you know how difficult that is? The security there is tight. Super tight. If they got out of Riker's, then they could easily get rid of some pesky back-up cops with a good plan. Rob's smart-"

"Clearly not too smart. He thought that since you were a cop, you could get out of a punishment for holding a gun to somebody's head," Elliot interrupted.

Olivia tried not to get too pissed off, but that was really, really not the right thing for Elliot to say in their situation. She felt like she was going to blow up. She did not want to talk anymore about what she had done to Rob. She was in a big deal of trouble right now, and that was the last thing she wanted to talk about.

Elliot immediately noticed the anger on Olivia's face and regretted what he said. He just kind of looked down.

"I...I didn't mean to bring that up. I was just..."

Olivia nodded and let it go, although she was still a little mad. She wasn't necessarily upset that Elliot had said that, she just...hadn't wanted to hear about it and he had brought it up.

"It's fine. Listen, my point is, I don't want you here. I'm not sure I'd be okay if you got hurt because you were involved in something associated only with my mistakes," she said.

"I'm staying here. That's that. You're going to be fine with it. If Cragen finds out about this, he'll probably tell me to watch over you anyway. So drop it," Elliot said. He wasn't going to give in. He was much too stubborn for that and he knew that he needed to be there with her. He wouldn't be okay with it if anything happened and he wasn't there. He knew he wouldn't ever forgive himself.

Olivia shook her head, but she didn't say anything back. She knew he wouldn't ever back down, so why keep arguing with him?

She scooted back into the couch and laid her head back. She couldn't quit thinking about Rob. What did he have in store for her? What was he planning to do? Was he going to rape her and kill her like he had done to Glori thirty years ago? Was he going to kidnap her and hold her somewhere and torture her? Was he going to make her admit to everyone that she had, in fact, almost killed him? There were so many things that he could do to her. She knew he hated her guts, so he'd try to get the best revenge he could get.

Olivia had to admit to herself that she was scared. She was terrified. What would happen to her?

Elliot read Olivia's facial expression and saw that she was upset.

"Olivia, it'll be all right," he assured.

Olivia shook her head and tried not to let any tears fall out of her eyes. Why had she messed up so badly? Why did Rob have to get out of prison? Why couldn't things just go the way they needed to go for her? She finally got to be with the man she loved, but only because she had committed a crime, and now that she was finally with him, her life was scattered all over the place.

"What do you think he'll do to me?" she breathed. "Torture me?"

Elliot shook his head. "Nothing's going to happen to you. I'm not here for nothing."

Olivia acted like she hadn't heard him. "Hold me? Kill me?"

Elliot chuckled and kissed her. "Hold you, thrill you, kiss you, kill you," he said.

Olivia got the joke but she didn't laugh. She wasn't in the mood. She was scared. She just...didn't want to talk about this anymore.

"Let's go to bed, okay?" Olivia asked.

Elliot stared at her. "It's only..." He paused and looked at his watch. "7:45."

Olivia nodded. "I know."

"Why so early?" he questioned.

"Because I don't feel like talking about this anymore."

What Olivia really meant was, "I don't want to talk about anything anymore. I just want to get in bed and I want you to hold me and kiss me and take my mind off of everything for a while."

Elliot nodded. "Let's talk about something new then. We shouldn't go to bed already," he said.

Olivia smiled. "Who said we had to sleep?" she asked playfully.

He smiled back at her and they went into Olivia's bedroom.

Elliot was just what she needed to take her mind off of everything going on.
