Love and Danger
A/N- I was really impressed with all of the responses I got for chapter 1! I am going to try to update at least every other day, if not every day. Remember to R&R! Love ya guys!
Chapter 2
As Elliot and Olivia made their way back to the precinct, they couldn't stop smiling. They were both incredibly thankful to have their feelings for each other known to one another. As they pulled up to the precinct, they remained in the car for a minute, lost in each others eyes. Elliot began to lean towards Olivia, his eyes looking at her lips, wishing for a taste of those sweet lips just once more. Just as their lips were about to seal in a kiss, a knock on the window caused them both to jump apart. Olivia couldn't help but be thankful that the windows were tented. She looked at Elliot. "Follow my lead." She said before jumping out of the car, knocking back a surprised Fin. "Damn it, Elliot!" she yelled. "We had to have missed something, or overlooked something! We wouldn't just get called to a random building, to do a random search!" Olivia yelled, drawing a few stares from passing civilians. Elliot stared, unsure of what to say next.
"Well, I just think it is some kind of hoax. If there was an actual crime, we would have found something there." He yelled back, wondering if his acting was any good.
"We don't just get a random call with some made up crime scene and false witnesses!" Olivia shot back. Fin stepped in at this moment, a smirk on his face.
"Woah. I take it there was nothing out of the ordinary at the warehouse?" Elliot and Olivia just looked at him. Fin put his hands in the air in mock defense. "Ok. Fine. Let's go tell Cragen." Fin said before turning and stalking off.
"Do you think he bought it?" Elliot asked, looking down at Olivia.
"Oh, he bought it. Now let's go before we lose our jobs. We can talk about all this later at my place. Maybe pick up some Chinese?"
"That sounds good." Elliot said while opening up the door for Olivia.
When they got back into the bullpen, Cragen immediately came up to them. "You guys find anything?" he asked as he watched his two best detectives put up their coats and sit at their desks. Before they could answer, a man holding a small package came into the bullpen.
"I am looking for an Olivia Benson?" he said, holding up the package. Olivia looked up from her desk, and went to grab the package. She thanked the boy and brought the package back to her desk. Elliot looked at Olivia.
"You expecting something?" he asked, taking the package from her and examining it. "I don't see a return address."
Olivia took the package back, shaking her head to tell him no. She stood up again, taking the package to the table in the conference room, Elliot and Cragen getting up and following her. They watched as Olivia opened the package, and froze as her face paled. Elliot was at her side in an instant, taking some papers from her. When he looked down at them, he realized they were photos of Olivia, in what appeared to be in the small crawlspace she had examined at the warehouse. He looked at her. "I thought you said the room was clear." He said, the confusion obvious in his voice.
"It was. There was absolutely nothing in there. Not even holes in the wall. It was clear." Olivia said, shock covering her delicate features. Cragen went over and examined the box.
"There is a letter in here at the bottom." He said in a disturbed tone. Olivia quickly picked up the letter and read it aloud.
My Dear Ms. Benson,
I must say I am very impressed you found my crawl space. Most people that come in here never find it, so I was rather shocked when you did. I must admit that you are by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I am quite certain that you want to meet me as much as I want to meet you. But have you considered we might have already met? You should consider everything from every angle, my darling. I will see you very soon. Until then I will have to imagine what it is like to hold you, caress you, and love you. Until then my love.
Yours truly,
You know who
Olivia looked up, her face having turned a ghostly white. She dropped the note and ran for the bathroom. Elliot looked after her before turning to Cragen. "This isn't good cap. What are we going to do?" Elliot asked. Cragen looked the way Olivia had ran.
"I don't know what we can do. For now, get Huang down here and see if he can set up a profile for this guy. Get Munch and Fin to check surveillance cameras near the warehouse and see if anyone suspicious hung out around the warehouse. You, go check on Olivia. And by all circumstances, do NOT let her out of your sight. We don't know if some creep is after her or not, so I don't want to take any chances."
"Of course, Captain. I would never let her weasel her way into any danger." Elliot said before taking off in the direction Olivia had left. When he reached the bathroom, he knocked on the door before entering the bathroom. Taking note that it was empty besides Olivia and himself, he continued walking forward until he found Olivia crouched in front of a toilet, heaving up the few contents in her stomach. "Oh, liv." He said before wetting a paper towel and placing it on the back of her neck and holding back her hair until she was done. She got up and pushed past him to rinse her mouth, and then let herself slide down the wall. Elliot got up and sat beside her, remaining silent until he knew she was ready to talk.
"Elliot, I'm scared. I swear I checked that room from top to bottom and there was absolutely no sign of surveillance cameras. And that note, he isn't going to stop hunting me until I'm dead, or he… until… unless he…"
Elliot stopped her before she could go into hysterics. "It's ok, Liv. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise. I will have your back. Always."
"Always." Liv repeated.
