Chapter 2

"Oh boy," said Fin as they watched Olivia look up to the hidden camera.

"A few more days and I'm out of here," she said before walking away and into the kitchen area. They watched as she got a bottle of wine from the fridge and headed out the room. They changed cameras and watched as she climbed the stairs and into the bathroom slamming the door behind her as she entered the one room in the house without a hidden camera.

"Fin, go find Elliot and talk to him. My guess is he will have gone to the bar just off camp. Try and calm him down. Tell him the info the FEDs gave us about the husbands."

"And who is going to calm down Liv?" he asked grabbing his coat.

"Hopefully a bath and a bottle wine will do that," sighed Cragen. "Then I will call her and fill her in."

""You knew it was bound to happen at some point," said Munch as he flicked through the cameras checking all the rooms. "Three weeks they have been under now, their every move inside the house being watched just in case something happens. It's enough to drive anyone crazy. We aren't even sure the guy will try this house."

"Five women in the last 12 months have been raped in their homes whilst their husbands were tied up and made to watch. They were all newly posted in couples living in this area of camp. The rapist got into the house undetected and waited for them to fall asleep. The chances are he works on the camp either as a soldier, a civilian worker or is actually married to female soldier. I knew this would take time when we were asked to help. Whoever is doing it needs to believe they are a genuine married couple."

"Well they certainly argue like a married couple. But do you really think it was a good idea to send them in. I mean Elliot leaving the department like he did, didn't go down to well."

"It's an FBI case what was I supposed to say when they asked for Olivia and for our help."

"Maybe, No, when you realised it was Stabler she going under with."

"It was taken out of my hands. I had no say in the matter," he sighed.

"But Cap you had to know something like this would have happened sooner or later. Having them together every day and night all that tension," he grinned. "It was bound to blow up at some point."

"Yeah I know," he sighed rubbing his forehead trying to ease the tension headache that was building. "That's why I insisted on us being the ones to watch the house and them, so when this happened we could hopefully calm it down. To be honest I figured Olivia would be pissed at first but eventually once they talked everything would be back like it was."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Another Bud," said Elliot to the barman raising his almost empty bottle.

"Make that two," said Fin sitting next to him.

"Cragen send you?"

"Yeah."

"You guys see all that?"

"Yup," he said taking a drink.

"Liv okay?"

"She disappeared into the bathroom with a bottle of wine."

Elliot nodded and took a long drink from his bottle.

"Are you going out of your way to piss her off?" Fin asked him.

Elliot turned to look at him.

"This has nothing to do with this case or how I didn't take out the trash. You know it, Cragen knows, hell everyone who knows us, knows it."

"You hurt her man. Twelve years together and you just left. No call, nothing."

Elliot took a drink from his bottle.

"Yeah well … things happened."

"Cragen had to tell her you weren't coming back, that was a low thing to do. You had to know that would hurt her."

"I couldn't tell her. She would have talked me out of it. I needed out the unit and a fresh start. Once I was settled with the FEDs I was going to call her, but then this job came up."

"So what you asked for Liv?"

"What? No. Do you think I have a death wish? I was told I was going under because of my experience in SVU. I had no idea they would bring in Liv and you guys."

"So who decided on Olivia? Cragen said it came from higher up."

Elliot sighed. "Dana Lewis, that's who…I swear that woman really does hate me."

"Oh," said Fin a smile on his face. "She really does want you dead," he laughed. "Dynamite and bullets didn't work, so she puts you in a house and marries you up with Benson," he said unable to hide the laugh. Elliot looked at him and started to laugh as well.

"She really does hate me," he laughed before finishing his bottle.

"Or maybe, she just wanted the best on the job. Maybe she wanted two people that she could trust to get the job done. Two people everyone would believe were married, because as partners they were to close."

Elliot looked down at the bar.

"As partners we might have been close," he said without looking up. "Not anymore. She has made it quite obvious how she feels."

Fin sighed and took another drink.

"Look the FEDs gave us an update. They had been talking to the victims again; mainly the husbands and they finally admitted something. It turns out in the weeks leading up to the attacks they all had problems with their marriages and they cheated in some way on their wives."

"What do you mean?"

"They all either had sex, came onto or started a full blown affair not long after arriving on camp."

"Was it the same woman and maybe her husband got revenge?"

"No, different women. It could just be a coincidence. But they think the rapist may have made the husbands watch as a punishment in some sort of warped way for cheating. They are looking for a connection between the women, someone they all knew."

Elliot nodded.

"You want another beer?" he asked Fin.

"Nah I'm good. I should get back and let Munch get out for a while. Rollins and Amaro are finished in court so they are taking some shifts for us."

"I don't understand why you need to watch the house when we are in."

Fin shrugged. "We just do as we are told. I guess the fact they don't know how the guy got in, in the first place means they don't want to risk missing anything."

"Yeah I guess."

Fin finished his bottle. "Anyway, watching you and Liv is way better than any TV show I know," he said patting him on the shoulder and leaving the bar.

Elliot finished his bottle.

"You want another?"

"Sure, why not," he said not wanting to head home yet just have another fight. He took his wallet out and opened it looking at the photo inside it of him and Liv that they had taken before going into the house.

"She the reason why you're here drowning your sorrows?" asked the barman putting his drink down.

"Yeah," he sighed. "She drives me crazy. Nothing I ever do is good enough"

"Don't they all and I'm sure you never done anything wrong," he laughed.

Elliot smiled at him.

"Look man, if I had a woman looking like that at home I would be back there right now trying to put it right. She loved you enough to marry you, so you must have done something right," he said walking away to serve another customer.

Elliot looked at the photo again before slamming the wallet shut and picking up his bottle. "If only," he said before downing the bottle and ordering another beer, figuring it was best to let Olivia go to bed and cool off before facing her again.

I know watching them 24 hours in the house is a little far fetched, but can you imagine how much fun it would be to watch lol.
