Chapter 7

It had been two days since Olivia had been abducted. Two days. 48 hours. 2880 minutes. 172,800 seconds. Elliot was slowly losing his mind. He hadn't slept since he realized Olivia was missing, and had barely been able to look at food. He slowly stood in the squad room, sifting through all evidence they had so far towards Olivia's whereabouts. Elliot jumped when he felt a hand land on his shoulder, and spun around to see Cragen flanked by Munch and Fin, all of whom wore faces of concern.

"Elliot, it's been two days. We know you want to find Liv and we all do too. But you are no good to her if you wear yourself out. Go up to the Cribs and get some sleep. Fin and Munch both got some sleep this afternoon, so they can stay up and keep sifting through evidence." Cragen said, not moving his hand from Elliot's shoulder.

Elliot spun around so his body was fully facing the three men. Anger rippled through his body, his hands clenching into fists. He slowly pulled himself up to his full height, towering over the others. "I will NOT sleep until she has been found. You people should know how dangerous these men are and know what the hell they could be or have already done to her! We have to save her. We have to find her. Olivia is depending on us to find her. We can't let her down! I won't let her down… I won't…we gotta find her." Elliot stuttered out the last bit, barely able to contain the tears that filled his eyes.

Before anyone could respond, a uni came running up with a piece of paper in hand. "Captain! We got a ping off of White's credit card. Guy isn't as smart as he thinks. Did he seriously think he could get away with kidnapping a detective? I mean who could be that…"

The uni was stopped when Elliot grabbed the man by the lapels and pushed him up against the filing cabinets. "TELL ME WHERE THE HELL SHE IS YOU BASTARD!" Elliot roared, drawing attention from bystanders.

The uni spoke in a shaky voice, "91st street. A house is being rented to him. He made the transaction from his card to the bank." Elliot dropped the man and turned on his heel, rushing out of the precinct, and followed by hundreds of officers. No one saw the man run to a car as soon as the officers had gotten into their cars.

Olivia had no clue how long she had been in this basement. She had lost her since of time after the multiple beatings she had received and the fact that there was no clock or window to help her determine the time. "I probably wouldn't want to know how long I've been here anyway." She thought to herself. Over the time she had been there, she had seen her two worst nightmares together. Both Richard and Lowell had worked her over. She flashed back to the first time she realized Lowell had been part of her kidnapping.

Olivia assumed she had been in the basement for at least 12 hours. She could feel her face and body swelling after the multiple beatings she had received already. As she assessed her injuries, she could only assume she had several bruised and/or broken ribs. She knew her shoulder had dislocated from trying to get out of the cuffs, flinching when she remembered the searing pain that had seared through her body. Olivia was knocked out of her thoughts when she heard the door opening again. She turned her head and did a double take when she saw not only Richard, but Lowell Harris walk through the door as well. Her heart began to beat furiously, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She immediately thought back to the basement, remembering the helplessness and fear she had felt when she had almost been raped. Never in her life had she been as scared as she was in the basement. At least not until now.

Just then, the door opened and Richard walked in to her personal hell. "Olivia. How are you doing today?" he asked politely, almost like he cared.

Olivia looked at him with her eyebrows raised. "Well I have been better." she scoffed. She flinched when Richard raised his hand as if to hit her again. Just as his hand was about to come in contact with her cheek, he was stopped by the sound of his cellphone ringing. He frowned and answered.

Olivia listened in to the conversation she could. "Hello…HOW DID THEY FIND OUT… yes…I have a plan…I knew this would probably happen…he will be a problem…I know he won't stop until he finds her…yeah, just make sure they don't get here for at least an hour…yeah ok." Richard shut the phone and sauntered out.

Richard knocked on his mother's door. When she answered, he immediately pushed his way inside.

"Richard. What do you want?" his mother asked innocently. "Is it more money? You never could manage your money. Just like your father."

Richard was instantly furious. "You know nothing about me you bitch!" he yelled. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at her, instantly rendering her silent. "You were the most horrible mother in the world. It was always about money and yourself. Now you're going to pay." He pulled the trigger, grinning when his mother slumped to the floor, dead.

"Now I have a place to continue my life." He thought as he wrapped up his mother's body in the carpet and threw it in the cellar.
