For those who are waiting for a next chapter for my other two stories... blame my muse for wanting me to write an other chapter for this story. A short one, but still, a new chapter.

A/N If y'all thought they are in enough danger already then you're wrong...

As always R+R, they are very much and sincerely appreciated.

Chapter 8

At 7.30 am there was a knock on the door from the penthouse. Olivia looks at her watch to double-check the time.

"Go ask who's there, but with the door closed. Don't open it, please. Let me get Alex into the bedroom first." Olivia says softly.

Debby nods and slowly walks to the door. Her gun in front of her and the safety off. Olivia carefully climbs from behind Alex and picks the blonde ADA up, bridal style. She walks as fast as possible to the bedroom and turns around and nods at Debby. Then turns back and walks into the bedroom and lays Alex slowly down on the other sofa. Alex keeps sleeping and Olivia tip toes out of the bedroom closing the door behind her.

"It's Hammond." Debby says.

"This can't be right. He would be here 8 am, sharp. Is he alone?" Olivia asks worried.

"He says he is alone." Debby answers.

"Alright open the door." Olivia answers pulling out her own gun and raises it with the safety off.

Debby opens the door carefully with her weapon still raised. She looks behind Hammond and sees that he is alone. Then Debby opens the door wide open and let Hammond walk inside and closes the door behind him.

"You're early. This can't be good." Olivia says.

"No it isn't. We need to talk. Preferably without the others." Hammond answers.

Olivia nods and looks at Debby.

"Can you go into the bedroom and watch the others and keep them there?" Olivia asks.

"I'll watch them and try to keep them there if they wake up." Debby answers.

"Thank you." Olivia answers.

Debby nods and walks to the bedroom and silently opens the door. She walks inside and closes the door behind her. Olivia takes a seat on the couch, Hammond takes a seat in the chair closest to the same couch.

"Alright, what's wrong?" Olivia asks, taking a deep breath.

"Last night somebody broke into your apartment and teared the place apart. Obviously looking for something. Have you any idea what they were looking for?" Hammond asks.

Olivia slowly nods.

"There is only one thing that connects me to my past. One photograph I kept hidden. There are three persons on it. A blond woman, a blonde baby boy and I. I assume you have searched the place yourself. Did they found it?" Olivia asks anxious.

Hammond pulls a photograph out of his pocket and shows it at Olivia.

"If this is the picture you meant, then no, they didn't find it." Hammond says.

Olivia looks at the picture and feels sad and relieved at the same time.

"That's the one I meant. Thank god they didn't find it. Do you have any idea who was there?" Olivia asks relieved.

"We searched your entire apartment and collected evidence. After that we used the chaos for your disappearing act. I didn't think you would mind if you would not be able to go back to it, should it ever be possible to go out Witsec. We made it look like there was a gas explosion. And all of you were inside and died. And to answer your question, yes we do know who it is. It's Dana's brother, William Lewis. Dana wants revenge and sent her brother after you. The problem is we don't know where he is. It's like the guys flies under the radar. And an other problem is that we have found connections between him and Johnny Bishop, about 6 years back. After that he went of the radar. But you and I both know that he was with the Russians and still is otherwise he wouldn't be alive. Dana somehow found that out recently and uses him to get you. The guy is extremely dangerous. He is worse than Bishop and McCaid are. So our plan to get you all to the safe house here in New York is out the window. Did you ever made a plan B when we agreed to Witsec years back? If not it isn't a major problem, then we have to take you out of the state and into a different less central safe house." Hammond explains.

"Oh Christ! Well it's a very good thing they didn't find the photograph. We don't have the time for stories, so I tell you who's in the picture and we leave the story behind it away. The woman was my girlfriend, she died of cancer, and the baby boy is our son. Biological he's not mine, and he obvious isn't in my life anymore. Now as I said we leave the story away, but thanks to my former mother-in-law, we have a plan B, a plan C for us, and even a plan D for me. Although I hope it will never come that far. My former in-laws were and are extremely wealthy. More than Alex's family is. Long story short, we build two places where I will be safe, but they're not on my name. I do have access to both places at all times. So plan B is to go the one of them, it's build for 3 adults and 2 children to live there, but there is enough space for all of us. We can use it as a safe house and we won't have to leave it if necessary. It's full stocked so food won't be a problem. We only have to get fruit and vegetables and milk. The rest we need is there. And more important we can get our three lawyers to agree to go there, easily. The plan B house I mean. I do want to have two Agents there for extra protection though. With this many people we need to have more protection." Olivia explains.

"And you are sure that it's safe, there are no leads to you that are easily traceable?" Hammond asks.

"Yes I'm sure. As I said, the house is not on my name, but I do have legal permission to stay there. Everything is sealed. There is nothing that leads back to me. The only way they can find us there is when we are outside, in the area." Olivia answers.

"Do I want to know what plan C is?" Hammond asks.

"You want to know it, but the four women in the bedroom certainly won't like it. Plan C is an other house that's build, but it's in the middle of some sort of jungle. Not visible and almost completely disconnected from the outside world. The only way to get in touch is via a satellite phone that is rechargeable via a charger working on a sun panel. There is electricity but low leveled. You have to exercise to get it. And the area is surrounded with booby traps. Like I said, it will be hell to get them agree to go there. Should it be necessary." Olivia answers.

Hammond's jaw drops on the floor and he looks a fish the way his mouth opens and closes. After a few moments Hammond collects himself and is able to answer.

"Are you sure you are a Detective and not former military? Damn it, Benson. Well I suggest we go to the first house and make sure to keep everyone inside. Until everything is arranged and we are ready to take you all to your permanent place. Because it's impossible to get them so far to go and use plan C. And I don't want to know what plan D is." Hammond says.

"I agree. We don't want to need plan C." Olivia says.

"No we don't. Personally I don't care, but the others will. Now do you want to tell me why we need plan B?"

Olivia and Hammond almost get a whiplash from the speed they turn their heads. To see Alex leaning against the door post. The blonde pushes herself away from the post and close the door behind her. Walking to Olivia and Hammond. Who both look like they've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Olivia is the first one able to react.

"How much did you hear?" Olivia asks tentatively.

"Enough to know that we have a problem and too little to know what the problem is. Now are you gonna tell me it or not?" Alex asks, with her courtroom voice.

A/N2 Yes, I introduced William Lewis into this story. His main target is still Olivia. But he will be out of character and he won't dominate the story. He is part of the people who are after Olivia, Alex and Casey, not the head of the mafia. And his personal motive is his sister, Dana Lewis, who wants revenge for Olivia putting her in jail.

What's Olivia gonna do? Will she tell Alex it or not? Will they go to Plan B's house or not and will they be safe wherever they are going to stay for the next two weeks?
