Chapter 14

Cragen, Fin and Munch all sat staring at the camera.

"See what I mean," smiled John. "Big cuddly teddy bear has appeared."

"Who knew Stabler was so … so …"

"Romantic and soft," chuckled Cragen finishing for Fin.

"Yeah. It actually makes him a little more human."

"I told you not all my conspiracy theories were stupid," said Munch. "How many years have I been saying they were in love?" he asked sitting back with a smug look on his face.

"No John, your theory was that they were banging each other all these years," Fin corrected him, clicking off the camera in the bedroom and going back to the one in living room.

"Aaaah same thing," he said making Cragen shake his head. "I'm going to get some shut eye now all the good stuff has finished. You okay for a few hours?" he asked Fin.

"Yeah that's cool man," he nodded watching Mark who was still stood in the kitchen drinking.

"I'm going to head back to the station and get a few hours there, see what info Amaro has dug up. I'm also going to meet with Elliot and Olivia tomorrow before I head back here. I just had a text from Dana and she wants to go ahead with the affair angle. They are thinking that maybe this Mark guy hid cameras and then watched as the husbands had affairs. He got to know the routines and then made his move. So Dana is hoping if we go down that route it will make him make his move a little quicker."

Munch stopped in his tracks as he was about to open the door to the bedroom.

"Well Elliot certainly helped with that tonight after his little chat with Mark just now."

"Yeah I know. I will give Dana a call on my way back to the station and fill her in on everything. Fin can you send her the footage from tonight."

"Sure," he said turning back to the screens.

"Dana is also sending in a tech team to check out the camera he fitted to see if it also has sound."

"How they going to do that, without him getting suspicious?" asked Fin.

"Well apparently they are going to cut all the electricity to the houses in that area of the camp, making it look like a power cut. Then one of them will go in, check the camera is inactive and check it out for sound."

"So I take it Amanda is going to be the affair," said Munch a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, and I am not looking forward to telling the two of them," sighed Cragen. "Especially Olivia."

"Oh boy," laughed Munch. "This is going to make for some good viewing," he said walking into the bedroom.

"How's it going Elliot?" Dana asked as Elliot came in and sat in one of the chairs in large office. He glared at her but never spoke. "That good huh," she smiled.

When Elliot had woken that morning the bed next to him was empty. Olivia left a not to say she had gone out for a while and would see him later. He had woken up Carl who couldn't stop apologising before going downstairs. Mark had been sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. He has asked if he could clean himself up as he had to go straight into work that morning. Elliot had nodded and made him and Carl a coffee as Mark went up the stairs. He had been tempted to follow him but knew it would raise suspicions so he stayed where he was and hoped Munch and Fin followed him. It was then he got the call from Cragen about this meeting and what they were planning.

"Well what the hell did you expect?" he asked her. "And to make things even worse you now want me to have an affair with Rollins."

"Thanks a lot," said Rollins as she came into the room smirking.

"No offence," he said giving her a small smile.

"None taken, I can't say I'm looking forward to this any more than you are. I'm the one who has to work with Benson when this is all over."

"I wouldn't worry about it; it's me she is pissed at not you."

"Which I really don't get," said Dana sitting on the edge of her desk. "I mean I saw the footage from last night and it really was beautiful. My lord if I had been her and you had said those words to me I would have been putty in your hands, it was the sweetest damn thing I had ever heard. I would have jumped your bones there and then."

"Dana," he said. "Shut the fuck up."

Dana chuckled as she put her hand on her chest and pretended to be hurt.

"Where is the romantic Elliot from last night?" she asked him chuckling.

"Can we just get on with this," he sighed. "I have to be back at camp soon," he said just as Cragen walked in with Olivia.

"Now we are all here we can," Dana said as everyone took a seat. Olivia sat to the left of Elliot and Amanda to the right. "Okay first of all, the camera's Mark fitted….."

"You mean camera," Olivia interrupted.

"No," smiled Dana. "I meant cameras. "When Mark went to freshen up this morning and have a shower he was actually fitting another camera. He has connected another camera into the wiring of the light directly above your bed."

"What the fuck," mumbled Elliot looking at Olivia who looked as pissed as he felt.

"So he now has eyes on you in the bedroom as well."

"Can't we just arrest him now?" asked Amanda. "I mean he has fitted the cameras, surely we have enough on him to have him arrested."

"We do, but it's not enough. We need to catch him in the act; he will just get a slap on the wrists for the invasion of privacy."

"Do the cameras have sound?" Olivia asked her.

"No, that's the one bit of good news I can give you guys. Our Tech guys went in this morning after he left and checked them over. The cameras aren't wired for sound, and they couldn't find any sound recording devices in the house at all. So he has eyes but no sound."

Olivia nodded. "Well that's one good thing."

"It is," said Dana. "However it also means that you can't now sleep in the spare room Stabler. You are going to have to act married at all times when in these two rooms."

Elliot and Olivia both nodded before glancing at each other.

"Okay," said Dana. "Now onto the next part. After gathering all the info after speaking to the couples we have decided to go down the route of Elliot having an affair."

Elliot saw Olivia shift in her chair as Dana mentioned having an affair. He wanted to reach over and take hold of her hand but knew not to.

"Stabler has already set the scene quite nicely for us last night by telling Mark he had an affair whilst married to his first wife with Olivia," she said smirking wondering how much of that story was actually true. He may not of had the affair physically but she guessed mentally he had. "Also how he is fed up of her having a go at him all the time just because he talks to other women. Now as Mark already suspects something is going on with Rollins here, we are just going to run with this."

Amanda glanced sideways at Olivia who continued to stare straight ahead.

"Rollins give it a day then go to the house when Olivia isn't in after a call from Elliot. You two," she said nodding at her and Elliot. "Need to convince Mark you are at the start of an affair." Elliot and Rollins both nodded. "None of the wives ever knew about their husbands indiscretions until after the attacks. Some of the men only done it once and only one was actually have full blown affair. The others as they put it were just fooling around. So Elliot you need to act like the loving husband we know you can be," she grinned. Elliot scowled at her. "Hopefully the little psycho will believe the act and decide to teach Elliot a lesson."

"I still don't get how raping the wife is actually teaching the husband a lesson," said Rollins.

"According to our shrink, he thinks raping the wives shows the husband what he is losing out on. That he should treat her right. He doesn't see it as rape he sees it as treating her right, like her husband should be. He never hits the women only the men. And all the women said he whispered nice things to them as he raped them told them how they could do so much better than their husbands. Elliot tomorrow morning at work, make a call and make sure Mark is in range to hear it. Make it sound as though you're talking to Rollins, arrange with her to come to your place the next day to collect some dishes left from the party, and let it be known Olivia won't be there. Hopefully our little rapist will run home and turn on his computer to watch you guys."

All three of them just nodded.

"You guys okay with this?" asked Cragen.

"Fine," said Olivia.

"It's not like we have a choice," said Elliot.

Rollins just nodded.

"Okay," said Dana standing up. "Well that's all from me, you kiddies can run along and enjoy yourselves," she grinned earning herself yet another glare from Elliot. Everyone stood and began to head to the door. "Olivia, can you stay a moment?" she asked her.

Elliot looked back at her and then to Olivia as Rollins and Cragen left. "I will wait down in the car for you."

"It's fine, I brought my car, you just go you need to get back to camp."

"Liv," he said leaning in and talking a nit quieter. "We really need to talk."

Olivia looked back at Dana who was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Fine, we will talk tonight when we both get in."

"You promise."

"Yes."

"Okay, I will see you at home."

Olivia just nodded and he turned around and left the room.

"So," said Dana as soon as the door closed behind him. "When you going to put the poor guy out of his misery and actually tell him that you love him as well and want to jump him every second of the day," she grinned.
