As the minutes turned to hours, Elliot was getting even angrier with himself. He should have gone to the store and let Olivia stay home and watch dinner. And now, she was gone and out there somewhere. The CSU didn't find any clues as to where Olivia might have been taken-they only found her prints on her cell phone and vehicle.
"So we have no idea where she is," Elliot said to his co-workers after hearing the results of the crime scene sweep. "That's just great."
"You need to calm down," Cragen replied.
"Calm down?! How can I calm down when my wife, MY WIFE, is out there somewhere with her rapist? She's pregnant, Cragen, she's probably all alone and needs prenatal vitamins. I shouldn't have let her go to the store. I should have gone with her and now look what's happened. She was taken and no one has any idea as to where she might have been taken to!"
"STABLER! Enough! Look, we are all just as concerned and worried for Olivia. But blaming yourself isn't helping anything. You need to get some sleep and we'll come back in the morning."
The team left the house and Elliot headed down to the bedroom. He thought about last night, about how everything was perfect. He had made love to Olivia and his life was where he wanted it to be. But now, he felt the emptiness of the room surround him and he started to cry. He looked at the photo of him and Olivia on their wedding day five years ago.
Where are you, Liv? he asked himself.
He laid down on the bed, crawled under the covers, and cried until he fell asleep.
The next morning, Olivia awoke when she heard the door open. Boss entered the room with a tray of breakfast and a bottle of pills.
"Good morning," he said. "I brought you some food along with prenatal vitamins. You're going to have to start taking them."
"Why don't you take off the cuffs so that I can eat my food?" Olivia asked.
"Because I don't want you to try and escape. I'm going to make sure my plan will work."
She reluctantly let Boss feed her breakfast and the vitamins, but once she was done, she felt better.
He turned on the TV, which was on the news channel. The story about a fire in Maryland was interrupted by the 'Breaking News' headline.
"Breaking news, this just in. A Special Victims Unit detective, Olivia Benson-Stabler, has been missing for over twelve hours. Authorities are doing everything they can to locate the detective," the reporter said. Olivia's picture was displayed across the screen. "If anyone has any information regarding this case, please call the Special Victims Unit."
The number appeared shortly afterward and then the story about the fire in Maryland returned.
"Just great," Boss muttered to himself. "Now the cops are looking for her."
"Told you they'd look for me," Olivia said.
"You shut your mouth!"
She quieted down. Boss put a piece of tape over her mouth.
"You're going to stay quiet for now," he continued. "I'll be back in an hour."
After the door was shut, Olivia let her tears fall. She wanted to see Elliot and the team, but now all she could do was look up at the ceiling or around the room. She felt so alone, but was reminded of the miracle growing inside her.
"I'm your mommy," Olivia said, turning her head down so that she was looking at her stomach. "I love you so much. Your daddy loves you too. I'm going to get out of here and then we'll be one big happy family. But right now, I'm stuck in here with this strange man."
Olivia started to gather some momentum and began tapping the headboard against the wall. One of Boss's men entered the room.
"What do you want, Catherine?" he asked.
"I need to use the restroom," Olivia replied.
"Alright."
He unlocked the cuffs and stood behind her so that she would not try to escape. He showed her where the bathroom was and told her she had three minutes.
Olivia began looking around for any sort of escape route, but there wasn't one. She felt disappointed that she wouldn't be able to escape this nightmare.
Once she finished with her business, she opened the door and the man immediately took her back to the room and handcuffed to the bed.
Boss entered the room and saw how helpless his prisoner was. Little did Olivia know that whatever she would eat or drink contained drugs-ones that wouldn't harm the baby, but would make sure that Boss's plan worked.
"It's time, Catherine," he said, climbing on the bed.
"You get away from me!" she replied, trying to move aside.
He got angry and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him.
"Shut up," he continued. "You are to do what I say. I am completely in control over the situation. The cards are stacked in my favor and you can't do anything about it. You are going to spend the rest of your life here and raise the children we will have."
"I won't carry your children, you-"
He slapped her across the face. "You were saying?"
"Yes, Boss, I will be the mother to your children," Olivia said.
"That's better. I expect good responses from you every time you speak to me."
He left the room and came back a few minutes later with the prenatal vitamins.
"You're going to have to take these for a couple of months because we want the baby to be healthy," he said. "I will also be feeding you a pregnancy-friendly diet."
Once she had taken the pills, she decided to take a nap. She dreamed of being back home with Elliot, raising their family and working side by side at SVU. She wondered if her dreams would come true. She awoke a few hours later when Boss entered the room with lunch. It was a bowl of vegetable soup along with saltine crackers. Olivia had started dealing with morning sickness and she was grateful that she'd get some relief.
Little did she know that she wouldn't see the team for a long time.
