Chapter Seven: Unfaithful

"Gabriel! Stop!" Olivia giggled. She scurried away a little while Gabriel chased after her, embraced her and twirled her around in his arms. Olivia's smile never left her face the whole time. Nobody has ever seen Olivia this upbeat with any guy except, well, Elliot. The break from dead bodies and human evil seemed to have perked up Olivia.

Elliot watched from afar at the two. He knew something was wrong. He knew exactly what it was. He just didn't know if he should tell Olivia.

"Let me go! I'll bite you!" Olivia playfully threatened.

"Bite me all you want, baby." Gabriel murmured in her ear and kissed her neck.

"You know they think they're in private right now? I don't blame you for spyin' though." Fin said. Elliot looked out of the corner of his eye and raised his eyebrow. Fin sighed and turned towards the couple. "Listen, Stabler. I know you and I don't get along too well but it's obvious Liv's happiness is probably one of the few things we have in common and I'm speaking for John as well."

"Meaning…?" Elliot said.

"Do I have to draw it out for you? We all know this poser is cheating on Liv and has no remorse for it. Hell, he probably has to write her name down on his friggin' hand just so he won't forget she gets suspicious." He paused and they listened to Olivia laugh and smile, "I've never seen her like this, though. Perhaps ignorance is bliss."

Elliot wanted to tell Olivia. Gabriel was cheating on her with another girl but he didn't have the proof and she wouldn't believe him. With what happened between them, she might mistake it for a plea to start over with a relationship. Elliot looked at the two for a few more seconds and walked away to give them privacy.

Gabriel pulled Olivia into her arms and gave her an amorous hug. Olivia smiled wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them, she saw Elliot walking away. Her smile faded and she rested her head on Gabriel's head as she watched him disappear.

"We have the right identities for these two guys. A club owner recognized them." Munch announced, parading the newly printed papers that had the information on it.

"Juan Fernandez and Pedro Fernandez, both twenty one years old, both from Cancun, Mexico, both charged with stealing women's underwear and sex toys three years back. They're mostly seen at that strip club called The Office." He set down the three photos, two of the boys and one of the club, "Three strippers have reported assault by these two men but they got out of it since there was no evidence. The jury was having a hard time believing that the strippers were having nonconsensual sex. Everybody we've talked to that knew them said the boys only had a thing for strippers. Either your daughter was in the wrong place at the wrong time or it was personal, Elliot."

Elliot didn't respond. He only stood in thought as Olivia and Gabriel joined the group.

"You three, go pay the siblings a visit down at the club. If they haven't been charged with assault before, then we need to catch them in the act in order for them to cooperate."

The group looked at Olivia. She knew what they had in mind. She didn't like it but sighed in defeat.

"All they've been doing is grabbing stripper's asses and getting drunk. They're not our guys." Gabriel complained.

Elliot chose his words wisely before speaking, "They were seen before and after the rape. We'll catch them, question them, and if they aren't then we'll let them go. It's easy as that. Now, where's Liv?"

The two searched the club with their binoculars and Elliot found Olivia, wearing a black club dress and black boots, sitting at the bar.

"They only go for strippers, are you sure it'll work?" Gabriel asked.

Right then, one of the two noticed her from a short distance away. He nudged his brother and pointed at her. He noticed her and practically jumped for her. His brother placed a hand on his shoulder. It seemed like he was telling him to calm down and be cool.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure." Elliot said arrogantly just to see how Gabriel felt. It was clear he didn't like Elliot's tone of voice. Elliot smiled to himself and put the mouthpiece up to his mouth that connected him to Olivia's earpiece.

"Liv, they're coming towards you. Get ready."

"They're not going to do anything to her, are they?" Gabriel asked worriedly. Elliot only scoffed a little, chuckled, and shook his head.

One approached Olivia and took the empty seat next to her at the bar. He ordered her a drink, then one for himself, and began a conversation with her. When Olivia noticed him order her a drink, she pretended to notice him.

"Thank you." She said with a smile.

"Someone as beautiful as you deserves it. What's your name?" He asked. His accent was thick. They were right, he was easily from Mexico.

"Jasmine." Olivia replied. Their drinks came and he was the first to drink.

"Jasmine." He said as if it was the sexiest name he's heard. "Nice to meet you. I'm Joey. Are you here with anybody?" He asked, hoping she'd say no.

"He's lying." Elliot muttered, "That's Juan."

Olivia sighed, "No, I came with a few friends but they left I'm just waiting for them to come back."

"Why couldn't your boyfriend come with you?"

She laughed, "I don't have one."

His eyebrows shot up and he smiled, "Well, I have a buddy here and if you want you could come with us."

"That sounds like fun but I have to wait here. Thanks though."

His face instantly dropped. Elliot pressed the call button on his phone and Olivia's phone rang. Olivia held up one finger to tell him to hold on and she turned away to answer the phone and get away from the loud music. Juan frantically reached into his pocket and took out two small tablets and dropped them in her drink.

"He spiked your drink, Liv." Elliot said. "Try and leave now."

Olivia hung up and turned to him with a small smile.

"What's wrong?" Juan said innocently.

"My friends aren't coming back so I think I just might go home." She said with a shrug. "It was nice meeting you. Thanks for the drink too."

She stood up and began walking towards the door. Juan motioned his brother to follow him and the two quickly rushed after Olivia.

"Let's go." Elliot demanded and Gabriel followed him out of the club.

Olivia walked down the street until she was alone. The two brothers followed her closely. Gabriel and Elliot were not too far behind them. Elliot pressed the send button on his phone to send a text message to Olivia's phone. When she stopped, she pulled out her phone and read the imaginary text message. That's when the two took their chance.

Juan grabbed her wrist, Olivia snatched herself out of his grasp and pinned his arm behind his back. Elliot grabbed Pedro who instantly caught on that she was a cop, began to run. Elliot tackled him to the ground and handcuffed him. When Olivia had Juan in handcuffs, she led him to the police car.

Elliot was about to get in the car with Gabriel. The two exchanged looks for a few seconds. The intensity to say something to one another was strong.

"Good job." Elliot said weakly and got into the car.

"Thanks." Olivia replied but he didn't hear her. Afterwards, she got into the second police car waiting behind theirs and followed them to the precinct.
