- RECAP - As Munch and Stabler approached Olivia's room they could hear muffled shouting and crying. They walked silently with haste to the door and seen a man holding her by the shoulders shaking her while shouting. When they burst through the door he pushed her down and ran past the detectives pushing them aside. Munch ran after the suspect leaving Elliot to comfort Olivia.
"Olivia are you alright?"
She nodded in reply but was dazed.
"Who was that? Is that the man who has been hurting you?"
Again she nodded slightly.
"That's my husband Stuart. He doesn't mean to hurt me though. It's my fault. I make him angry." She replied.
"That is no excuse Olivia. No one deserves to be hurt."
"I did. I ran away from the job. I had to pay for it."
"What job Olivia? Tell me the truth. What really happened to you?"
Olivia broke down.
"Stuart makes me have sex with men to fund his drug habit. When I turned up to the flat that night there were 3 men waiting. They wanted to have me at the same time but I told them I wouldn't do it. One of them slapped me but I managed to run away. They chased me through the park and I tripped up. The rest that I told you was the truth", she sobbed.
"That bastard. Don't worry we'll get him. And the men who raped you. Do you know their names or where they live?"
"I only knew the one called Steven. Stuart made me sleep with him before. I don't know where they live. When they buy time with me they get given the flat number and meet me there. It's safer for Stuart's business that way."
At that moment Munch returned dragging a cuffed Stuart behind him. They took him down to the squad car and back for questioning.
*Station House*
Elliot filled the team in on the new information and then went to question Stuart.
"Who are they asshole?" Elliot demanded.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"What are the names and addresses of the 3 men who raped Olivia?"
"I have nothing to do with that."
Elliot grabbed the suspect and slammed him into the metal grating on the window.
"I know you know, bastard! Olivia told me everything. WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?!" Elliot spat in his face.
"She told you everything really? Like how without me she would be dead? How I rescued her from her drunken mum and abusive step father? I gave her a home and food. That bitch owes me."
"She owes you nothing. Now cough up the damn names or I'll kill you!" Elliot shouted while holding the man by the neck.
"Elliot calm down. Stop it." Munch shouted trying to defuse the situation.
"Alright. Alright. I'll tell you. Just let me go." Stuart struggled.
Elliot let go and the suspect sunk to the floor.
Elliot and Munch arrested the suspects and didn't find it hard at all the get a confession. All 3 men were proud of their actions and were bragging about them to the detectives.
*Mercy General Hospital*
"Good news. We got them Olivia."
She smiled the biggest she had since this all happened.
"Thank you Detective Stabler. Without you I think I'd have given up. I'm going home tomorrow."
"That's great", he beamed. "And call me Elliot. I'm glad you're better. I'll let you get some rest now. Be safe Olivia", he smiled as he opened the door.
When he left Olivia immediately felt a little something die inside. Her room door opened again and Elliot came to stand beside her.
"Olivia, I like you. Would you like to go on a date sometime?"
Olivia smile up at him and nodded.
"Goodbye beautiful" he said planting a kiss on her cheek.
