Love Hurts
SVU had come to Chicago to help on a case, which led to both Benson and Voight going missing. They had both been battered and Hank had been kicked in the stomach multiple times. Olivia had too but she was afraid of something worse happening to her, since this guy was a rapist. The guy that had taken them was their primary suspect and he was enjoying seeing Hank wince in pain every time he moved. He had taken their weapons and vests. He had also taken their phones and shut them off, so no one would know where to look for them. They were alone wherever they were but neither had said much. They were both tied up but they were not gagged.
"I feel like I'm dead."
"You're not dead."
"How do you know that?"
"You're talking to me. If you were dead, you wouldn't be talking to me."
"Don't be a smart ass, Benson. Of all the people I had to be stuck with in this situation, it had to be you."
"Right back at you. How the hell are we going to get out of here?"
"I have no idea."
"You're the one that got us into this mess."
"No, this was all your doing. This is what happens when I listen to you."
"Don't blame me for this one, Sergeant."
"It sure as hell isn't my fault, Lieutenant. Who ranks higher and was calling the shots in this case?"
"Fine! I got us into this mess but we need to help each other to get out of here."
"I'm open to suggestions."
"You have to come up with something too, you know."
"I have a headache."
"You need to stay awake. You probably have a concussion."
The guy that was holding them came in.
"We're going for a ride and if I hear any objections from either of you, you're both going to get it."
He blindfolded both of them and taped their mouths with duct tape and then led them out to the vehicle they were being transported in. When they arrived to their destination, they were taken inside and dumped. This time, he left the duct tape on but took their blindfolds off. Olivia had tears running down her cheeks. This was starting to become too much like her ordeal with William Lewis but at least she was with Hank. Maybe it wasn't so bad to be stuck in this situation with him. He wouldn't let anything happen to her. She was scared though. She inched closer to him and put her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. He leaned into her but tried staying awake. He started to feel groggy and wanted to close his eyes. He needed to keep an eye on her to make sure the psycho didn't hurt her. He kept trying to get his hands free, so he could get them out of there. He knew they were at the Silos, so this was a place he was familiar with. While Olivia was asleep, she started dreaming. This dream was about her and Hank and they were a couple. Was she falling for Hank Voight?
Meanwhile, the two squads were looking for their Bosses.
"Where the hell are they?"
"We'll find them."
Then Erin came in up with Platt.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, Erin!
"Anything on Voight and Benson?"
"No. You here to help?"
"Of course. Both of them mean a lot to me. If you need to get the FBI involved, all I have to do is make a phone call to the Chicago Field Office. Where have you looked?"
"We have checked in the areas that are marked. Those are the suspect's known hangouts and so far, nothing. Their phones are shut off because we can't even track them down that way."
Erin started thinking.
"I have an idea. Upton, Rollins and Burgess, come with me."
"Where are you thinking they are, Erin?"
"The Silos. It's a start anyway."
Both Al and Trudy started smirking when Erin mentioned the Silos. They both knew that was one of Hank's places. Erin, Hailey, Kim and Amanda left and headed to the Silos. Olivia's sleep was interrupted when the guy returned and once again, started beating Hank. He pulled him up and slammed him into the wall. She had tears running down her cheeks again. She hated that this was happening to them. He yanked the duct tape off of Hank's mouth and then he did the same to Olivia.
"You're an ass!"
"And you're a bitch!"
He slapped Olivia hard across the face.
"How'd that feel?"
"Go to hell!"
"How about I have my way with you right now?"
"I'll pass, thank you."
"Too much man for you?"
"No. I'm just not interested."
"I think you are."
"No!"
"Listen, Bitch, I'm in charge here. Not you. I'll give you an hour to think it over and I'll be back."
He walked away and kicked Hank in the shin as hard as he could.
"Hank, you need to wake up. Come on, Hank."
Olivia inched her way over to Hank.
"Hank? You better not be dead! Damn it, Voight! I think I'm in love with you."
She heard Hank mumble something about being in love with her too.
"HANK? LIV? ARE YOU IN THERE?"
"'IN HERE."
Erin tried opening the door but it was locked. Hailey used the long gun to shoot the door and then they knocked it down. The 4 of them came in.
"Is he ok? Are you ok, Liv?"
"I'm doing better than he is. He said he'd be back in a hour and that was maybe 5 to 10 minutes ago. He threatened to rape me. This case is so much like what happened with William Lewis."
"Kim, call for an ambo and have the guys come here. He needs to be taken out permanently."
"Got it."
Kim called for an ambulance and to have the guys come there, while Amanda and Erin untied Olivia and Hank.
"Hank, it's Erin. Can you hear me?"
"Yes, Lindsay, I can hear you. I'm not deaf."
"Ok, geez! Don't be so grouchy! How are you?"
"How the hell do you think I am? That son of a bitch beat the crap out of me and kicked me in the damn leg. I think I have several broken ribs because it hurts to breathe right now."
"The ambo should be on its way."
"Ok."
"Can you give us a minute?"
"Sure."
Erin, Amanda, Kim and Hailey left giving Hank and Olivia some time alone.
"What's going on, Benson?"
"Do you have any idea of what you said to me just before they came in?"
"Yeah, I do. I said I was in love with you and I meant it."
"I meant it too. I really am in love with you. I want to stay and take care of you while you're recuperating."
"You don't have to."
"Quit being so damn stubborn and let me. Please."
"What about your son?"
"Lucy can stay with him as long as I need her to or I'm sure he can stay with Rollins. I just want to be here for you."
"You and Tucker?"
"We broke up months ago. Even while I was with him, I realized I had feelings for you."
"How long have you known?"
"At least since the thing with Yates. How long have you known?"
"About the same time."
Olivia leaned into Hank and they started kissing as Gabby and Sylvie came in with Erin and Amanda.
"Excuse me."
"What?"
"Gabby and Sylvie are here and since when do you two kiss?"
"Since now if it's any of your business."
"Hank, don't be such an ass! I came out here to help find you and you're being your usual pleasant self."
"I hurt, Erin. Olivia was making it feel better."
"You sound like my son."
Gabby cleaned up Hank and Sylvie cleaned up Olivia. They left for the hospital and the rest of Intelligence and SVU was there by the time the guy came back. Al got a clear shot and shot him in the head. They waited for the Coroner and did whatever else they had to do before heading to the hospital. At the hospital, Hank pretty much had everything x-rayed. He had several broken ribs, a concussion and bad bruising all over. He was in his room waiting to be admitted when Olivia came in.
"How bad are you?"
"Several broken ribs, a concussion and bad bruising all over. How about you?"
"Just some bruising."
"Good. I'm glad it's nothing to serious. I need to stay here at least for tonight. Maybe longer. "
"I called Lucy. She's fine with staying with Noah and if she has any conflicts, she can call Amanda. Amanda also said she'd be fine with watching Noah if she has to."
"Thank you for staying."
"No problem. I do feel like this is my fault."
"It's not. Don't blame yourself."
"I can't help it. You could have died because of me."
"We both should have been able to get ourselves out of this and we didn't."
They started kissing and then Erin, Fin and Al came in.
"There they are kissing again."
"It's about damn time, Liv!"
"Thanks, Fin."
"Here are your phones. Your vests and guns are in the car."
"Thanks."
"Fin, you're going to be in charge for a while because I am going to stay here to take care of Hank."
"Ok."
"What did they tell you?"
"I have several broken ribs, a concussion and bad bruising all over."
"This entire thing reminded me of what I went through with William Lewis."
"Yeah, I bet. Is Lucy ok with staying with Noah?"
"Yeah and she said that if she has any conflicts, she'll call Amanda."
"Makes sense. Do you have any serious injuries?"
"Just some bruising."
"That's good."
"Erin, how long are you staying?"
"Probably until the weekend. I'll be able to keep both of you out of trouble."
"Well, nothing will be happening in that time. I'm in too much pain."
"You are taking time off, right?"
"Yeah."
"Is it ok if I stay at your house?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
"I'll take the sofa, so Liv can have the other bedroom.
"That's fine unless you want to sleep in the toddler bed."
"The sofa will be fine."
"Ok. Thanks for being here."
"You're welcome."
Erin gently hugged Hank. Everyone else came in to see Hank before they left. Once he was moved to his room, Olivia was the only one that stayed with him. She wanted to make sure he was ok after the concussion and tried staying awake all night but she ended up falling asleep. They were both surprised they had feelings for one another but they hoped that the next several days would be good for them and would help them decide where they wanted to go from there.
Reviews and suggestions are appreciated.
