The bad guy isn't who you think...

When David had left, Olivia had called Casey right away.

"Hello?"

"Casey, James has got Elliot and David went to go get him and I have no idea why this is happening!"

"Whoa, whoa," Casey said on the other end of the phone, "Calm down. I'll be over in just a second."

"Thanks Casey." Olivia hung up the phone and threw it onto her bed and started pacing back and forth from the door to the apartment and down the hall to her bedroom.

She repeated the motion until Casey knocked on the door.

"Liv tell me what's going on," Casey said concerned to see her friend in tears.

"I don't even know," Olivia said putting her hands on her head. She just wanted to give up.

"Come on, sit down." Casey put her hand on the small of Olivia's back and guided her to the couch where they sat down together.

"James has Elliot. At least, that's what David said. He wouldn't let me look because I'm suppose to be resting."

"I'm sure David told Cragen and they will get Elliot. How's your side doing?"

When Olivia had been pacing back and forth she was too occupied worrying about David and Elliot than about her side. "Truthfully, it's bothering me a little."

"You should lay down on the couch," Casey said moving to the chair so Olivia could have room. Out of nowhere she started to hear Olivia's sobs.

"Liv?"

"I don't understand," she said with the tears gushing from her eyes, "I just want to be happy."

"Oh Liv," Casey said feeling heartbroken for her best friend, "I'm so sorry." She bent down so she was leveled with Olivia and gave her a comforting hug.

"Are you sure you saw James in the drivers seat of Elliot's car?" Cragen asked, not believing that Elliot would let some man take him hostage. Then again if it was for Olivia's sake he knew Elliot would go.

"I'm sure," David said, "Elliot was in the passenger's side seat."

Cragen shook his head and was going to speak before Fin walked in, "Captain Kathy just called in and said she found Elliot's car at 2093 Branch Street."

"That's Isabelle's house," Cragen said matter-of-factly.

"Fin, grab Amaro and meet us there. Fill him in on the way. If we don't save Elliot Olivia will never forgive us."

Fin nodded his head and walked back into the squad room to tell Amaro what was going on.

"Looks like you're going to be in for the crime scene of your life," Cragen said grabbing his jacket.

Cragen walked out of his office and David was still standing there trying to wrap his head around what was going on. Why was he trying to help Elliot in the first place? The guy who is in love with Olivia and the guy who Olivia had once loved herself. Then he quickly pushed the thoughts out of his head because he knew the answer. He wanted Olivia to be happy. He let out a deep breath and then turned around to follow Cragen to the scene.

Back at Olivia's apartment Casey had calmed Olivia down enough for her to finally fall asleep. She was taking a nap on the couch while Casey was watching a cheap scary movie on TV when her phone rang.

"Novak."

"Casey it's David. How's Liv?"

"Uh, she's taking a nap right now. She was so worried that she started pacing and her side got to bothering her but, I gave her some Tylenol and got her to calm down."

"That's good...that's good," David said drifting off towards the end.

"How are things on your end?"

"It's crazy. The SWAT team is here and Fin and Amaro are about to call Elliot's cell phone while Cragen is talking to the hostage negotiator and I have to sit back and not do anything."

Casey completely understood how David felt. She had been on a few crime scenes before with Olivia and Elliot and she wasn't allowed to touch anything. She wanted justice just like them but she knew she wasn't qualified in investigating.

"Hang in there," Casey said, "Oh, I gotta go. Liv's waking up, don't worry I will fill her in." Casey hung up the phone and quickly attended back to her friend.

"Have a nice nap?"

Olivia nodded her head yes, "Have you heard from David?"

"I have." Casey sat down at the end of the couch and began telling Olivia all the details she knew.

"I bet David hates me." Olivia was still laying down with her head rested against a pillow while she started at nothing in particular on the ceiling and talked to Casey.

"Why do you think that?"

"When he told me that James had taken Elliot," Olivia said with the lump in her throat rising, "I told him not to let Elliot get hurt... I didn't even tell him to take care of his self."

"David understands that this is hard for you," Casey said trying her best to comfort her, "He loves you Olivia."

"He deserves better than me..."

"Olivia stop it right now!" Casey hated when Olivia blamed herself for things that were out of her control, "You deserves the best! You have spent your whole life putting yourself in danger and ruining your chance at a life because you care about the victims. David loves you and he is willing to give you the world. You deserve that Olivia, more than anyone I know."

"I guess you're right," Olivia managed a smile, "I deserve to be happy."

"I know I'm right," Casey laughed.

"Cell phone went straight to voice mail," Amaro hollered to Cragen.

"We're gonna have to send someone in," Cragen said as his detectives and David crowded around him.

"I'll go," David spoke up.

"Yeah right," Cragen chuckled, "If you haven't forgotten, James is your brother and he has a gun."

"All the more reason why I should be the one going in there," David pleaded, "Please."

"I'm sorry but I can't let that happen. If something happened to you and Elliot... I don't even want to know what Olivia would do to me. Amaro, are you up for this?"

"I'm ready Captain."

David stepped back realizing that he had lost the fight and he would have to continue to wait outside while other people did their jobs.

When Amaro had his bullet proof best on and his gun in hand, he kicked the door to the house down. By now, James would know that the police were waiting outside and would have had time to come up with a plan. Amaro knew he had to be careful.

"James!" Amaro hollered searching the living room with his gun on front of him, "It's over!"

Amaro heard nothing and saw nothing until he got into what looked like the master bedroom. He saw James tied up to a chair with his hands behind his back and a piece of tape over his mouth. Elliot was the one standing next to him with a gun in his hand.

Dun Dun Dun! Please don't hate me... I do love Elliot but, this story was not the time to love him. He left Olivia and I'm angry at him for that. So... Please review!
