Sorry for the delay in updating been really busy with work and away with the Kids from the Cadets. But I have a quiet weekend coming up so hopefully I will get a some more updates done.

Chapter 11

Elliot sat in his cell and looked at the four bare walls. How could things get so screwed up? He thought back to last night lying with Olivia in his arms, and then today with the kids everything had been so good until Tucker arrived. He heard the key in the lock and looked up when the door opened.

"Warden Jeffries," he said standing.

"How you doin Elliot. I got to say I was surprised when I got the call from Don telling me you were on your way, what the hell happened?"

"I kinda punched Tucker."

The warden laughed "I bet you enjoyed that?"

"Well I would if it wasn't for the fact I'm locked up here whilst Olivia is at him, she needs me after what happened." he said sitting back down on his bed.

"Yeah I heard on the news what had happened, How she doing?"

"She was doing good till this."

"Well I'm keeping you here, alone in this cell till Monday. There are quite a few men in here that you and Benson have put away, that would love a chance to get hold of you."

Elliot looked up at him "Like who?" he asked.

"Andre Bushido and….." Jeffries looked at Elliot

"And who, who else is in here?"

The Warden looked nervous as he told Elliot "Lowell Harris."

Elliot felt his body begin to shake in anger "What the fuck is he doin here, he was sent to Sing Sing?"

"I don't know I just got told he was coming here, so you can see why its best for everyone if we keep you in your cell till Monday."

"Yeah I guess it would….Tucker will have known Harris was in here. He was probably hoping we would meet up."

"Well that won't happen, You will eat, sleep and shit in here it's the only way to keep you safe."

Elliot nodded "Thank you… Could you do me one more favour, could you call Olivia and let her know I'm ok? She is going to be worrying all weekend till she hears from someone… just don't tell her who is in here as well. Bushido already tried to kill me once."

"Sure thing Elliot, I will come see you Monday before you leave."

Elliot stood up and shook the Wardens hand before he left.

"Has anyone found Cassidy yet!" yelled Cragen coming out of his office.

"Not yet Cap, we have tried everywhere we can think of, guess he has gone into hiding," said Nick.

"Either that or gone back to his old habits of drugs and prostitutes," Fin butted in as he sat down at his desk.

"Well I want him found I want to know exactly what he told Tucker." He looked towards the doors as someone from TARU came in. "About time," he said waving them into his office. "You heard what has happened to Elliot Stabler?"

"Yes sir, but what do you need me for?"

"I need you to go over the tape from his interview with Tucker."

"Sir?"

"Tucker whispered something to Elliot just before he lost it; I want to know what was said. Hopefully we can use it to get him off the charge."

"I'm on it Sir…Never have liked that Tucker, I will let you know what I find."

Cragen sat down at his desk, "Hey Cap," said Munch from the door way.

"John, come on in. What's on your mind?" Munch entered the office and closed the door behind before sitting in the chair opposite his Boss.

"I know we covered our tracks, well Benson and Stablers tracks really well, but what if we missed something. I mean we missed Elliot's phone, what if we missed something else?"

Cragen sighed and slumped back in his chair. "I honestly don't know, all I do know Is after what Olivia went through when Lewis had her I wouldn't wish on anyone. And I will do anything I can to stop anything else happening to her or Elliot. She needs him now more than she ever has. He is the only person who can get her through this."

Munch looked at Cragen and smiled. "You know I always thought they were doing it the full time they were partners, just because of how close they were."

"Believe me I used to wonder the same thing. I was waiting for the day they would come to me and tell me they couldn't be partners anymore, because of that exact reason."

Munch sat quiet for a while thinking, "But Olivia did come to you, she went to computer crimes and then undercover for months… was that because they were….."

Cragen shook his head "No John, I think that was because they had got so close they were putting each other before anything else, she was scared at how close they had become."

"Well I'm glad after almost 3 years apart they don't do that anymore," laughed John. They were interrupted with a knock on the door.

"We've found Cassidy," said Nick. "The idiot has just stumbled home, the uniform watching his place says he is either really drunk or on drugs, he is keeping an eye on the place till we get there."

Cragen nodded as Nick left with Fin, at least now they would hopefully find out exactly what Cassidy had told Tucker.

Olivia and Amanda entered Elliot's apartment. Kathy was sitting watching TV having. She jumped up when she heard the door close.

"How was he?" she asked walking over to Olivia.

"Yeah okay I guess, I got to see him before they took him off. Cragen was going to call the warden and explain to him."

"So he won't be put in with the other prisoners?"

"No, he will be kept in his cell until Monday morning."

"Thank god for that. Hopefully by then all this mess will be cleared up, do you want me to make you both a drink tea, coffee or something stronger?"

"Yeah tea would be good," said Amanda.

"How are the kids?" asked Olivia.

"Both in bed, Lizzy asked me to ask you to pop in and see her when you got back. I think she wants to hear from you her Dad is okay."

"Okay" Olivia nodded and walked down to Lizzy's room. She opened the door gently. Lizzy was sat up in bed reading.

"Livvy," she said putting the book down as Olivia walked over to her. "How's Dad'?"

"He's okay. Got a few more bruised knuckles," she smiled at her.

"Will he be okay in prison, what if someone recognises him, someone you guys put away?"

"It's okay Captain Cragen has it sorted he won't be with any other prisoners, you have nothing to worry about."

"Okay," she said back trying to smile.

"Okay, now get some sleep," said Olivia. "I'm gonna aske your Mom to stay over tonight that way she can take you and Eli home then."

"Uh huh, she can take Eli home but I am staying right here until Dad gets home. I'm not leaving you alone."

"I won't be alone sweetheart, Amanda from work is here."

"Yeah well she isn't family, Dad would want family with you, and so I am staying."

"Yeah, I guess he would," she smiled pulling Lizzy into a hug. "I would love to have you staying here with me, now go to sleep." She said kissing her on the cheek.

"Where is he?" Cragen asked Fin as he came back into the squad room.

"Sleeping off the drink, we aint getting anything out of him till morning, he threw up all over the squad car. We found him passed out in his apartment, all he kept mumbling was sorry and how Olivia hated him. Little fucking weasel."

"Well as soon as he is sober enough I want to know exactly what he told Tucker."

"Have you heard how Elliot is?"

"Yeah, I got in touch with the Warden he is keeping him in his cell till Monday to keep him safe…. Fin you should know, Lowell Harris is Rikers."

"What the hell, if Elliot gets hold of him he will kill him for what he done to Liv."

"I know, I have a horrible feeling Tucker knew this when he wound Elliot up. I have TARU working on the interview tape so we can hear exactly what Tucker said to him, hopefully if we can get proof we can use it on Monday to get Elliot off this stupid charge."

"Hey you okay?" asked Amanda sitting down next to Olivia and handing her another cup of herbal tea. Kathy had gone to bed in Lizzy's room a short while ago after making Olivia something to eat.

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired, it's been a long day."

Amanda looked at her friend and colleague; she had always known Olivia to be this tough woman to see her like this was hard.

"I err hate to ask this but, would you be able to put some cream on the wounds on my back. El has been doing it for me and I can't reach them all," Olivia asked her reaching over and handing her the cream.

"Sure thing Honey."

Olivia turned around and slowly lifted her t-shirt, she heard Amanda as she gasped slightly. "Jesus Liv."

"Yeah, not a pretty sight are they," she said quietly.

"I just didn't expect so many," she said as she dabbed the cream on.

"It was his favourite thing to do, burn me. He used to get off on it."

"I'm not hurting you am I?" she asked as she felt Olivia flinch.

"No its fine…Elliot used to kiss each one before he put the cream on. He says he doesn't even see them when he looks at me. I know he is lying and only saying it to make me feel better."

"And does it, does it make you feel better."

"Yeah it does, just being with him makes me feel better. It always has. When he left I had no one to turn to. I was alone; it was like I lost a part of me."

"And now he is back…..."

"I feel whole again and safe. I never thought I needed a man to make me feel safe, but I do, I need him."

"All done," said Amanda pulling her t-shirt gently down her back. Olivia turned round to face her tears running down her cheeks.

"Hey," said Amanda reaching over and wiping the tears away. "Everything is going to be okay."

Olivia shook her head "I have totally fucked up his life; I should never have called him. Look what has happened since then. He is being accused of killing Lewis and is in Rikers waiting to go to court charged with punching Tucker. God he must hate me."

Amanda chuckled "You are kidding right. I don't know Stabler but I saw the way he looked at you through the bars of the cell, that man does not hate you. He is totally in love with you; you could see it on his face. I really don't think he is capable of hating you."

Olivia sniffed and wiped her tears away. "You don't?"

"No I don't…..So, I have heard the stories from Fin and Munch, well mainly Munch about you and Stabler when you were partners, how everyone thought you two were together back then because of the connection you had. Munch says the two of you were always in trouble together, defending one another always backing each other up. So come on spill it, I want the true story, what really went on with you and Stabler."

"You really want the truth," she smiled.

"Oh yeah," Amanda grinned.

"Nothing," said Olivia. "Nothing ever happened."

"What! Your telling me you were with him almost every day for 12 years and the two of you never done the dirty, until this last week."

"That's what I'm telling you and it's the truth."

"Have you seen the man, or did you walk around blind folded through your full partnership."

"Oh I seen him, and I had feelings for him. At times it hurt so much how I felt for him, but I would never have acted on them for tor three reasons. One he was married. Two he has five great kids and three he was my partner. I couldn't risk losing what we had by sleeping with him no matter how much I wanted to, and believe me when he was stood in front of me with no top on all those muscles on show you will never know how tempted I was."

"I don't think I would have had that restraint." Laughed Amanda. "He is well hot."

"Yeah well I couldn't risk losing him. He was ….. My soul mate. I know that mind sound cheesy but he was. We had this bond that…."

"Drove his wife at the time wild," said Kathy coming towards them. Olivia looked up and smiled at her as she sat in the chair opposite them. "I really wanted to hate you, but I couldn't cause you were always so damn nice. Always making him call home when you worked late. Forcing him to show his face even if it was only for a few hours. If I asked him to come home he would always say he was too busy."

"Yeah well he didn't dare argue with me," smiled Olivia. "Otherwise I would of kicked his arse."

"I must admit I always thought the two of you would have got together when we split up the first time."

"Yeah well, we went through a bit of a rough patch in the partnership around then."

"Really?" said Kathy raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah, I err left for a while; I guess we just needed a break."

"That's funny, because when Elliot and I were talking not long ago and being honest about things, he told me it was around that time that he realised how in love with you he was, and how instead of telling you he acted like a prick."

"He told you he was in love with me back then."

"Olivia, Elliot has been in love with you for so long. I knew it I just didn't want to admit it; I didn't want to lose him, because I was in love with him as well. Elliot maybe stubborn and hot headed, but he is a good man and a great father and he will always try and do right by his kids. That is why he stayed with me. I knew he wasn't in love with me the way a husband was supposed to be, but I was too scared at the time to let him go."

"And now?" Olivia asked her. "Do you still love him?"

"Yes….. And I always will, we will always have that bond because of the kids. But he is so in love with you, nobody else has a look in, and you know what I'm happy for him and you. You both need some happiness back in your lives, especially after the things you have both seen and been through, so don't ever think he hates you, he could never hate you."

"Thank you," said Olivia smiling at Kathy.

"You're welcome, now why don't I make us all some hot chocolate," said Kathy getting up and heading into the kitchen.

"Cap we got a problem," panted Fin running into Cragen's office the next morning.

"You don't need to tell me that," Cragen said to him.

"No Cap another one on top of all the ones we already have. I asked TARU to put a trace and bug onto Tuckers phone lines…."

"You did what? Are you friggin stupid?"

"Maybe Cap, but I just didn't trust him, now you really need to hear this."

Cragen followed Fin out into the squad room the young guy from TARU was. "What you got?" asked Cragen.

"I was monitoring his calls in and out and thirty minutes ago he made this call," he said pressing the button to play the call.

"You don't know me, but I have some info you may be interested in. A former Detective is in one of your cells, his name is Stabler, and it was his partner that put Harris away."

"Who the hell is this?"

"You don't need to know. Just figured your old Captain and a guy by the name of Bushido might be interested in meeting up with him."

"Who the hell did he call?"

"A guy by the name of Morrison. I checked him out he is a guard at Rikers, he used to be at seal view when Harris was there."

"I ran some more checks Cap, turns out him and Harris were best buddies out of work, Morrison managed to get a transfer to Rikers a few months ago," said Fin.

"Jesus Christ, Tucker just gave Harris and Bushido Elliot…..Fin you and Nick get down to Rikers now. I will call the Warden and find out what the hell is going on and let him know your on your way. Munch get Barba for me ASAP I need to know what we can do about this Tucker isn't getting away with this. After that get Cassidy into an interview and find out what the hell he was playing at."

Fin and Nick ran from the squad room.

"Captain Cragen that's not all," said the guy from TARU. "I cleaned up the tape like you asked me to find out what Tucker said to Stabler….."

"And?"

"I got something," he smiled.

"And then I'm going to lock her up as well. And we all know how much she likes being locked up, you never know I may even send her to Seal View, I'm sure the guards would love to see her again."

"The bastard baited him into hitting him; he was out to get him no matter what…John have you got hold of Barba yet."

"He is on his way Cap…. Don do you want me to call Olivia?"

Cragen shook his head "Not yet, not till we know what is happening, she doesn't need to worry about this on top of everything else."

Elliot lay on his bunk and stared up at the ceiling, since breakfast that morning he had kept himself busy doin sit ups and press ups or just lying thinking about Olivia, hoping she was okay. He remembered the time he had spent a weekend in solitary to see how it felt, at least this wasn't as bad due to the fact it was only bars no door. He heard footstep coming down the corridor and looked up through the bars. A guard he hadn't seen yet stopped in front of his cell.

"On your feet Stabler," he ordered him.

Elliot stood up and walked over to the bars. "What's going on?" he asked the guard.

"Time for you to get some exercise," he was told.

"What the hell you on about, the warden has said I'm supposed to stay in here for my own safety," he told him.

"Yeah and the warden is off today, and I'm telling you you're going for some exercise," he said as another two large guards came and stood by him.

"You can't do this, I'm an ex-cop there are people in here that would love to get hold of me. The warden is keeping me here for my own safety."

"Yeah I heard that," he said unlocking the cell and pushing the bars open. "Now move, before we make you move."

Elliot looked and saw the other two guards pull out handcuffs and batons. "I said fucking move it!" yelled the guard. Elliot walked forward into the corridor, knowing if he didn't he would be forced to. The guard pushed him along in front of them, as they walked silently down the corridor.

"You know," the guard said after a while. "I used to work at Seal View…." Elliot spun his head round and looked at him as they got closer to the door at the end of the corridor. "My old Captain there, Harris, was a good man till some Bitch set him up and accused him of raping inmates and attempting to rape her."

Elliot spun around and lashed out at the guard. But he was to slow and was grabbed by the other two.

"Tut tut," he laughed. "As much as I would love to beat the crap out of you, you have a date with someone else first," he said opening the door whilst Elliot was dragged into a large room with Gym equipment. He struggled against the two men holding him, but he knew he wasn't strong enough.

"You won't get away with this," he told them trying his best to hide the fear in his voice.

"Oh I think you will find we will, cause you aint gonna be alive to tell anyone." A door opened at the far end of the room and Harris and Bushido walked in together and headed over towards Elliot.

Elliot glared at Harris as he stood in front of him bushido was stood just behind him.

"Thanks guys you can wait outside," said Harris.

"You sure you don't need us Cap?" asked the guard who had hold of Elliot.

"Nah, we will be fine," he said as he punched Elliot in the stomach knocking the wind out of him, before punching him once more before he fell to the floor gasping for breath. "I will give you a call once we are done." Elliot heard the door slam shut as he lay on the floor trying to get is breath.

"So this is the great Elliot Stabler is it?" Harris said to Bushido.

"Yeah I thought this fucker was dead, until he turned up and arrested me," he walked over to Elliot and kicked him in the ribs hard. Elliot yelled out in pain as he felt his ribs break from the kick and he collapsed to the floor. "I told you I would kill you Mike," he laughed as he spat on Elliot.

Elliot gasped for breath and tried to lift his head up, as soon as he raised it he was met with a foot in the face from Bushido he tasted blood in his mouth straight away as his head snapped to the side and he heard Harris laugh.

"Easy there my friend," said Harris. "I want my bit of fun first. Lift him up onto his knees," he told him. Bushido moved around the back off Elliot and grabbed hold of pulling up onto his knees. He then grabbed either side of Elliot's head and held it still.

Elliot gasped with the pain from his ribs and struggled to breath. "I'm gonna fucking kill you," he told Harris looking up at him.

"Really … I somehow don't think you're in a position to make threats," he laughed. "Now….. your Bitch of Partner kind of left me with a little itch that still need scratched," he told Elliot as he began to unzip his trousers. "So I reckon you would be the perfect person to scratch that itch."

Elliot watched and began to panic as Harris reached inside his trousers and took hold of himself and began to squeeze himself making himself hard.

"Now I know your mouth and lips won't be half as sweet as Olivia's but hell I will take anything right now." He pulled his now hard cock out of his trousers level with Elliot's face. "Now get sucking," he told him.

"Fuck you," said Elliot. Harris laughed and punched Elliot.

"No but I just might fuck you, it's strange how much you change in here. At one time I would never have even thought about sucking and fucking men but now…..Suck my fucking Cock!" he yelled.

Elliot shook his head trying not to panic as Bushido moved behind him and pushed his head towards Harris's cock, he felt Harris cock push against his lips and he tried his best not to gag, scared if he did he would open his mouth.

"You can fight it all you want Stabler, Olivia did but I knew she wanted it, and I will give you the same warning as I did her, you bite and your dead," he told him. Elliot felt the cold blade of a knife against his throat. "Now I don't want to have to tell you again SUCK MY FUCKING DICK!" he yelled making him and Bushido laugh.

Elliot rammed his Elbow back hitting Bushido in the groin making him yell out and loosen the grip slightly on the knife. Elliot reached up with his other hand and grabbed the knife bringing it down in one swift motion slicing open Harris's cock. Harris screamed and fell back clutching himself as blood flowed from him as he lay of the floor screaming for help.

Elliot looked towards the door as he heard a lot of shouting from the other side. He got to his feet and kicked Bushido in the face knocking him out before turning back to Harris.

He crouched down and watched Harris as he writhed around on the floor. "You know when I said I was going to kill you….. it wasn't a threat, it was a fucking promise."

"Please," begged Harris the agony showing on his face "I need help."

Elliot smirked at him and spun the makeshift knife around in his fingers "All it would take is one little flick of the knife and you would be no more."

Elliot didn't even turn around as the door burst open. "Elliot!" yelled Fin. "You okay?" he asked running over to Elliot and Harris, his gun drawn, whilst Nick and another guard grabbed Bushido and cuffed him.

"Yeah … I'm good," he said staring at Harris pointing the knife towards his face.

Fin looked between Harris and Elliot and saw all the blood around Harris's groin. "What the fuck happened?"

"This rapist piece of shit tried to get me to suck his cock, said I owed him cause Liv didn't do it," said Elliot cocking his head to the side. "So I grabbed the knife that was at my throat as he tried to force himself into my mouth and sliced him up… guess he won't be using it for a while," he said smirking down at Harris.

"I guess not," said Fin crouching down beside Elliot. "Listen man, I know you want to hurt him some more for what he has done, but Olivia needs you. If you do any more damage to him, I will need to arrest you, you know that. Just give me the knife." He said reaching for Elliot's hand and the knife.

"I'm stuck in here anyway, so what difference would it make if I caused a little more pain. Tucker is out to nail me for anything he can."

"Elliot, I'm here to take you home. All charges have been dropped. We know Tucker set you up, we have it on tape. We also have Tucker letting the guard here know who you were. He set all this up. Plus Munch has interviewed Cassidy he has withdrawn his statement. He has said he only said what he did cause he was jealous of you and Olivia. You can go home…..Baby Girl is waiting for you Elliot, she needs you home."

Elliot looked at Fin then once more at Harris before he handed over the Knife to Fin. Fin let out the breath he was holding and stood up helping Elliot to his feet.

"If you hadn't arrived, I would have killed him," Elliot told Fin. "I would have killed him for what he done to Liv."

Fin nodded "I know Man, I know," he said putting a hand on Elliot's shoulder as he led him out the room.

Up Next Olivia and Elliot reunited and spend a little time alone. Don't forget to make me smile and review.
