Chapter 40
"Liv! Come on what the hell is taking so long" Elliot yelled stood by her door holding it open with his foot.
"Hey, I need to make sure I have everything" she said walking out the bedroom.
"We are going for 3 nights max. It's like on oven out there how many clothes do you need" he asked.
"Look if you're going to be a grumpy prick for the full time up there you can go by yourself, I don't need your shit right now" she snapped.
"You don't need my shit, I ask you to hurry up but you reckon that's giving you shit"
"You have been in a mood since last night, when I got home. Now if I have done something wrong then just tell me" she shouted back "Cause I don't deserve this"
Elliot glared at her "Fine stay here then" he said throwing her bag back in the room and slamming the door as he walked off. Olivia just stood staring at the door wondering what the hell had just happened. They were supposed to be going up to the training centre and look round it then look for at places to stay. Elliot had got home before her last night after spending the day with Eli while she was at work, and by the time she had come in he had been drinking and was slightly off with her. She had gone to bed because she was exhausted and expected him to follow her in. She had fallen asleep and woke up the next morning alone; she had found him asleep on the couch. It had been the first time she had slept alone and woke alone since they got together. She felt tears stinging her eyes as she tried to think of what she could of done to piss him off so much but couldn't think of anything. She sat down on the couch and cried. The only reason she could think of as to why he would be so off with her was Kathy. The two of them had spent a lot of time together yesterday, who knows what might have been said and done.
Elliot got in the car and slammed his door shut.
"FUCK!" he shouted punching his fist at the steering wheel. He dropped his head down and rested it on the wheel. What the hell was he doing? He was being a prick to the woman he loved and she had done nothing wrong. He climbed out the car and walked up the stairs back to the apartment. He opened the door and slowly walked in and seen her sat on the couch her head in her hands she was crying.
"Liv" he said softly standing behind her.
"Go to hell" she sniffed.
"Please baby I'm so sorry, really I am" he said walking round the couch and sitting on the table in front of her, she didn't look up at him.
"What for?" she asked
Elliot looked at her puzzled what do you mean what for?"
"Why are you sorry, what have you done?"
"Well, because ….." he said not to sure what he should say.
"Did you sleep with her?"
Elliot was really puzzled now "Liv what you on about, sleep with who?"
"Kathy" she said quietly.
"No!" he shouted "Why the hell would you ask if I slept with Kathy?"
"Because the first day you spend with her, you come home get drunk and sleep on the couch…that's why I'm asking you if you slept with your wife" she said looking him straight in the eyes.
"Liv I swear on my kids' lives I never slept with Kathy, I love you, and you know that" he said reaching for her hands but she pulled them away.
"So what have I done wrong then?"
"Nothing baby, I promise you" he told her. He took a deep breath. "I shouldn't have taken it out on you" he said.
"Take what out on me, just tell me"
"I got a call last night" he said "before you came in…it was Dani"
Olivia snapped her head up "What!" she snapped "she called you here, did you tell anyone" Elliot shook his head.
"Does telling you, now count?" he asked trying to smile.
"No Elliot it fucking doesn't" she said "What did she say?"
"It doesn't matter" he said quietly looking at the floor.
"Elliot tell me. We said we wouldn't hold things back from each other. What did the Bitch Say?"
Elliot sighed and took a deep breath "She told me if I didn't end things with you she would make sure the same thing would happen to Dickie as she had done to me….and she would make sure the next time Fin wouldn't be there to save you. Liv it wasn't exactly what she said it was the way she said it, I don't easily scare but….."
"El she can't touch me or Dickie, any of us" she said finally taking hold of his hands.
"Liv the things she said that would happen to you both was awful it made me physically sick, I couldn't take it if someone got you guys" he sniffed. "Shit I sound so weak and pathetic, what the hell has happened to me"
"You're not weak and pathetic don't you ever say that. Elliot nobody is going to get us" she assured him.
"We can't know that Liv, we can't be certain of anything, I thought I was tough, I thought I could handle anyone and she got me"
"Stop it El, she knows your still vulnerable it's been less than a week since it all happened, she is playing with your head Baby, she knows all the shit you have been through"
Elliot nodded "I just freaked out, when I heard her voice and the things she was saying, I know I should of told you"
"Yeah you should of" she smiled at him "we are partners El don't try and do everything alone, god at times you are such an idiot"
"Only at times" he laughed wiping his eyes. "Do you still want to go up to the training centre?"
"Of course I do…but I need to do something first" she said
"What?" he asked.
"Can I tell you when I get back, please….I promise I will tell you but I need to do it first and then tell you. I need you to trust me"
"Okay …..I trust you. Will you be long?"
"No" she said shaking her head "Why don't you go and get the paperwork from Cragen and I will meet you there when I'm done. Have a coffee with the guys or something"
They both stood up "We good?" he asked her.
"Yeah were good" she said stepping into her arms "And tonight when we get to the hotel I will show you just how good we are" she kissed him passionately.
"We best go" he said not wanting to break the kiss "otherwise we will never get there"
They walked down to their separate cars "Liv" he said standing at his car and looking at her as she went to climb into hers "Whatever you're going to do, just be careful" he said.
"I will" she said climbing in "It's that Bitch that wants to be scared" she said to herself as she picked up her phone and dialled. "Hey it's Olivia….yeah I'm good. I need a favour….. I need to have 5 minutes alone with Dani Beck….. I also need something else but I will explain when I get there…Thanks I will be there soon" she said hanging up.
Elliot watched Olivia drive away and sighed god help Dani Beck he thought to himself, he knew he should of stopped her; he knew where she was going and what she was going to do. She was going to do exactly what he would of done if this had happened to her so why should he stop she needed to do this it was her way of protecting him and he loved her for it. She needed to let Dani know she wasn't scared of her.
"You have 10 minutes"
"Is she cuffed?"
"No I can do though if you want"
Olivia shook her head "No its fine"
"Benson don't leave any marks" the guard grinned "I don't want to have to explain where they came from"
"I won't don't worry" she took a deep breath and entered the room.
Dani looked up from the table she was sat at and grinned at Olivia.
"What do I owe this pleasure I would of preferred Elliot but I'm sure he will be along later when he realises what he really wants"
"Your very sure of yourself" said Olivia sitting down opposite her and looking at her.
"I know how he feels and what he wants I felt it that night" she said leaning forward "As he slid into me…..Hmmmm it felt so good". She said licking her lips.
Olivia just sat and smiled at her as she talked "The way he pushed up into me…oh I know he wants me"
"Do you know which bit I like the most?" Olivia asked her. "I like it when slides down your body, his hands touching every inch of you so lightly, his mouth licking and kissing you as he makes his way down between your legs …oh wait you wouldn't know that would you" she said standing up and walking round the back of Dani "Because you never had him like that, he couldn't touch you or kiss you, not whilst you had a knife or gun held to him, or he was tied to the bed." She bent down behind her, her mouth close to her ear. "You never felt the touch of his lips or his fingers on your skin as he gently makes love to you"
Olivia backed up as Dani spun round and got to her feet glaring at her" Shut the fuck up" She growled "He will never be like that with you again after what we did….what I done to him, he is always going to be thinking of me from now on, never you"
"That's were your wrong Dani, what we have, our bond is stronger than you will ever know" she walked towards Dani as she talked forcing her back towards the wall. "Did you not learn anything when you watched him for years, nobody can break us up, people have tried, but all it does is make us stronger"
"Every partnership has its breaking point….me, fucking him like I did will be yours, he will never be able to have sex again with you without thinking of me, I will always be in his head" she said smirking at Olivia.
"So your telling me when we made love in the shower, that same night it was you he was thinking about when he called out my name…" Olivia's face was only inches away from Dani's as she taunted her "When had me in the bed and against the wall, your trying to tell me he was always thinking about you, as he called my name over and over….begging me for more" Dani glared at her as Olivia smiled "Believe my Honey it was me he was thinking about each time and it's me who will be there every time with him ….not you" Olivia didn't see it coming as Dani flung her head forward and smashed her forehead off Olivia's face, Olivia felt her lip split and instantly tasted blood. She shot her fist forward and punched Dani in the stomach winding her, as Dani dropped forward slightly Olivia grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against the wall.
"I would like nothing more than to beat the crap out of you" she snarled into Dani's face "However leaving visible marks would be proof I was here so I guess….." she said as her other fist punched her again in the ribs as she kept hold of neck "It will have to be unseen bruises" as she punched her again. She left loose of Dani's throat and Dani dropped to the floor, Olivia's foot connected with her over and over. Olivia panting finally stopped and picked Dani up flinging her into the chair. Dani was gasping for breath, and holding her ribs, crying unable to talk at first. Olivia just stood watching.
"You….You won't get away with this" gasped Dani.
"But that's were your wrong….nobody knows I'm even here. I didn't sign in, nobody seen me, witnesses will say I was at Elliot's ex-wife's house picking up some of his stuff … so yes I will get away this"
Dani looked at her pain and panic etched on her face. The door to the room opened and a large woman came in wearing a prison uniform.
"This here is Tina" said Olivia standing next to the woman "She is in here for 2 counts of 1st degree murder. She beat the hell out of her victims first making them suffer for hours, as she broke bones and cut them up, before she slowly strangled them with her bare hands. Do you know who her victims were?"
"How the fuck would I know" hissed Dani
"They were Rapists. Both of the men she tortured had raped women, Tina here hates rapists."
Dani looked from Olivia to Tina; Olivia could see the fright in her eyes.
"Now Whilst I don't agree with what Tina done I can understand her hate for rapists and understand the anger she has towards them, I feel that same anger as well" Olivia walked back and forwards as she talked. "I have decided to help Tina out; you see she never gets to see her kids that much, so I am going to arrange extra visits so she has more time with them, and Tina here is going to be your new best friend whilst you're in here." Tina grinned at Dani and Olivia rested her hands on the table looking directly into Dani's eyes.
"If we get one more phone call from you, one more threat or if something happens to any of the kids or me and Elliot, then Tina gets a call…..and believe me she won't think twice about making you suffer. And Dani when your found guilty and they might move you to another prison then don't worry I will find you another best friend, do we understand each other"
Dani nodded, Olivia could see her body shaking as she turned to leave the room "See you in court" she said as she left the room.
She closed the door behind her and leant against the wall taking a deep breath and tried to calm herself down and stop shaking.
"All done?" asked the guard
"Yeah" she said pushing herself forward. "Thank you"
"Hey anything I could do to help Stabler is a good guy….Well let's get you out of here before someone sees you" he smiled.
Elliot was stood outside the precinct when Olivia pulled up and he got into the car handing her a coffee.
"All sorted?" he asked her
"Yeah all done" she said taking a sip "Mmmmm thanks I needed this"
"Do you want me to drive?" he asked her.
"No I'm good" she said handing him the coffee cup and pulling away from the side "You can drive the second half"
Elliot sat quietly looking out the window for a few minutes.
"So" he said breaking the silence "Is Dani still alive and walking?"
Olivia looked over to him "what….how did you know?"
"Because if things were the other way round I would have done exactly the same thing for you" he said taking her hand.
Olivia smiled "She is still alive, walking and breathing maybe difficult for a while, but she has a new best friend in there looking out for her now… remember Big Tina?"
Elliot looked at her and grinned "Big Tina is her new best friend" he laughed.
"Yep I just need to organise a few more regular visits for her so she can see her kids…. And don't worry" she said looking at him "My tracks are covered, if anyone questions anything, then I have witnesses to say I was somewhere else"
"Oh you do, do you"
"Certainly do, I was having a coffee with your soon to be ex-wife whilst I collected some of your stuff"
Elliot shook his head and smiled "Remind me never to piss you off" he said passing her the coffee cup.
