ONE MONTH LATER

As the two headed up the steps and into the courthouse, where everyone was waiting to go in. Elliot gently squeezed her hand," You ready?"

" Yeah," she answering while fixing his tie, "You look good."

" So when's the wedding?" the two heard Munch ask.

Elliot chuckled, as Fin shook his head," First they gotta get engaged, and Elliot here need to buy Liv a ring."

Olivia glanced over at Elliot who shrugged. She knew that he probably didn't want to get married again but then again, she did see him going into a jewelry store two weeks ago. That only made her search their whole apartment but didn't find anything.

Once everyone was allowed to enter the courtroom, Elliot held her hand, as the two sat down. He knew this trial would be very long, but was glad that all the other victims had showed up. They too were nervous which was perfectly understandable. Yet, all of them sat together and appeared calm.

Day two started with Alex calling Jessica up to the stand. She remained calm and ready to answer the questions, but in the middle of it; she became a bit emotional. Nevertheless, Jessica kept it together and continued telling her story of what happened.

Jason seemed to be bored and annoyed that he was even here. Not once did he look up, or even show any kind or remorse for what he had done. After Jessica had finished, it was Caitlyn's turn. Only that the story she told had differed slightly from the one she had told the detectives.

The truth was, something tramatic had happened to her which she had kept from everyone. The reason; Jason had threatened to kill her if she told. As Caitlyn began to tearfully describe what had happened, Olivia's eyes widened.

It was one that so was so terrifying that even the jurors were as equally stunned, by the end of her testimony; the judge ordered a short break. After that, it was Elliot's turn. He was ready, although inside he didn't want to speak about what had happened to him.

Yet Jason's lawyer continued to argue that no one actually saw Jason's face when he abducted them. Being that he had grabbed each one of them from behind, put a cloth on their nose and mouth; no one had time to see who it was before they passed out.

" So where were you when you came to?" Alex asked.

Elliot took in a breath, " In what I believe to be the basement, Jason referred to it as the " Dungeon."

' How long did he keep you there for?"

" I don't know, I was naked and cold. At first he tied me up and beat me, then it he finally loosed up and untied me. The beatings didn't stop, even if I tried to fight back it didn't do me any good. I don't know when but he finally led me out of the dungeon; by then I was allowed to wear clothes again"

Alex didn't press him too hard," When were you aware that Detective Benson was there?"

" When he led me into a room, and let us spend some time together; which lead to the conception of our daughter."

" Did Jason force you to have sex?"

" No, he seemed to know when we finished because he came in and demanded me to leave the room, two months later, Jason informed me that Olivia was pregnant. He seemed to be happy about that, but that's when I knew it was part of the reason why he took us."

Jason's lawyer seemed to be in complete disbelief," You're saying that my client kept you locked, naked in a dungeon; where he would beat you. Then one day he took you upstairs and were you and Detective Benson had sex."

" That's correct."

" Was the sex consential or forced? My client said that you had forced Detective Benson into having sex with you; against her will."

"OBJECTION!" Alex yelled.

" Sustained, Answer the question ," the judge said.

Elliot wasn't going to let that weasle lawyer try to make Jason appear innocent," The sex was consential, not in anyway did I force Detective Benson into having sex with me."

The lawyer continued to press him," According to my client you weren't happy with the fact that she was pregnant?"

" That's incorrect, I was happy but feared that our child would be born there; which she was."

Alex then took over," According to your statement, the defendant had shown you sonograms from each of Detective Benson's sonograms?"

"Yes, a few months later informed me on what the sex of our baby was. He'd kill me in front of her if I told her. For that he beat me later on to ensure that I didn't."

Once Elliot spoke about the time that they both broke the rules and were caught embracing, Olivia had no idea what had actually happened to him. She knew judging from the look on his face, it was far worse than the torture he had received while inside of the dungeon.

Hearing the him describing being force to pleasure himself in front of Jason, and then being beaten badly for being unable to get aroused made the anger flow through her body. The ice baths, then lying on a cold floor shivering and hungry; fit why Elliot didn't did want to testify in the first place. For that, Olivia felt guility for even asking him.

In fact, she felt horrible for what he had gone through. Nevertheless, hearing Elliot first speaking about Emily's birth then being seperated from her without even seeing her for the first time; had tears filling up in her eyes. She vividly remembered the horror they had gone through.

" My Client said that you told him that both you and Detective Benson did not want to see your daughter after she had been born."

Elliot knew Jason was up to no good," That isn't true, we both were scared and worried for Emily. Olivia cried the entire night. We had no way of getting to her, due to the fact that Jason had locked us in the room. The windows were bolted shut, the door wasn't the type that I could kick open. When I was finally allowed to see her, Olivia was prevented by one of his friends. Though the door was unlocked, she wasn't able to follow me. While I was holding Emily, Jason was there then I felt a prick in my arm; before every went blurry. When I came to I was inside of a car, I witnessed Jason giving Emily over to a woman that I didn't know."

" You were found later on, how come you never went back to get Detective Benson. She was your former partner and the mother of your youngest child?"

" I didn't even know where I was, if I did I would have gone back."

Alex knew that Elliot had more to add to the story, but didn't press him. Once Elliot was allowed to step down, the judge decided to postpone rest until tomorrow. The jury needed a rest, before hearing Olivia's testimony and Melinda's findings on the Victoria's baby.

Once the court was dismissed, the two went home. In the middle of the night Olivia lay awake, still thinking about everything, " I'm glad you decided to testify."

" I had no other choice, a guy like him deserves to rot in prison," but as she snuggled up closer to him, he knew she was nervous. However the two had no idea what tomorrow would be like. Olivia surely was going to have one big headache by the end of the day.
