Anniversary Nightmare – Part 2
"You ok, Liv?"
"No, Fin. I'm not. We don't have a clue where we're looking. Dodds is checking the traffic cameras by our house to see if anything comes up. I'm supposed to be at the airport waiting to board my flight to Hawaii, so I can spend my wedding anniversary with my husband but instead, my husband gets kidnapped and now I'm looking for him. I have no idea if he's dead or alive."
"Olivia, I know this could be a crazy question but is there anyone who has threatened you recently?"
"Recently? Yeah. We get threatened all the time."
"There was that Biker dude that went to prison and the wife was pretty scary lookin'. She kept sayin' he didn't do it but his DNA matched what was found in the rape kit. She said we were gonna to pay for sendin' her husband to prison."
"Come to think of it, that wasn't all that long ago."
"Do you remember the name? That could be somewhere to start."
"True."
"Good thinkin', Tucker."
"It was just a thought."
Olivia called Mike.
"Hey, Lieutenant."
"Hey. Could you look up the case that we had with that Biker as the main suspect? Ed just asked if I've had someone threaten me lately. Fin said her remembers the wife being scary looking and she did say she was going to go after me if her husband was sent to prison."
"No problem."
"Good. Any leads on that van?"
"We were able to find it on the traffic camera and we think we got him being kidnapped as it was happening. The ones that did it do look like Bikers."
"Then Fin was right."
Mike gave Olivia the license plate on the van that they could make and the name associated with the partial plate. She told him to let her know as soon as they found something out. Some of the ones from Intelligence had gone to the Precinct, so Mike gave them some of the files to go through. Olivia in the meantime had called to reschedule the flight but she had no idea when until she knew what was going on with Hank. She also contacted the hotel and had to cancel the reservation but planned to reschedule it. She hated doing it but she knew they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Mike called with the name and address of who they were looking for and he had already contacted Peter to get a warrant. She also told Mike to have a couple Patrol units sent to their house just in case the kids were also targeted. Everyone headed to the address but Olivia had a feeling that Hank wasn't going to be there. Mike had even tracked Hank's phone but it had been turned off. On the way to where they were headed, they spotted a white van that matched the partial plate Mike had given them. They pulled up next to it and got out. The door was locked, so Fin broke the window on the driver's side with his gun and unlocked it. Olivia opened the rear passenger side door and spotted Hank's wedding ring on the floor. She picked it up and looked at it closer. It was definitely his.
"This is it."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I found Hank's wedding ring on the floor. He never takes it off but he wanted me to know he was here."
They headed to the address. Meanwhile, Hank was in the corner of a basement somewhere and someone kicked him.
"You won't get away with this. My wife will find you and have you locked up."
"I don't give a shit about that bitch! If it wasn't for her, my husband would be here with me. She took my man from me, so I am going to take hers from her. You'll be dead and then I'll go after her precious children. By the time I'm done, she will have nothing."
"Leave my kids alone!"
"Shut your damn mouth!"
She slapped Hank across the face.
"Who has someone kidnapped in broad daylight?"
"I thought I told you to shut up."
She kicked Hank and left the room. Hank had no idea if he was going to make it out of there alive. He started thinking about how much his life had changed in over 4½ years since he and Olivia had been together. They met just a few months after Olivia's ordeal with William Lewis and fell hard for each other. It had been his first serious relationship since Camille's death and her first relationship since breaking up with Brian Cassidy. It didn't take long before they were engaged. Their wedding was scheduled for July. He had been planning to retire anyway but Olivia had become the foster mother to Noah. Hank had stayed in Chicago right up to the wedding, so Olivia had hired Lucy to help out. They got married and went on their honeymoon. A few months later, Olivia had told him they were expecting. Hank couldn't believe that he was now going to be a father to 3 children, 4 counting Erin, who he has always loved like a daughter. Justin loved Olivia even though he never expected him to take to her as quickly as he did, since he was very close to his mother. Justin also loved being a big brother to Noah and he was just as excited about the baby. Hank's job was to keep Olivia as relaxed as possible during her pregnancy, which was easier said than done, while trying to deal with Noah and all of his issues. About a month before they officially adopted Noah, Lily Olivia came into the world. He'll never forget the moment he held his daughter for the first time or the love that he and Olivia shared from the moment they came into each other's lives. He knew she'd find him but a part of him was scared that he'd never get to hold, let alone make love to, Olivia again or even hold his children and grandsons again. He wanted to get out of there, so he could take Olivia to Hawaii just as he always had. He also needed to be around for his family. For now, all he had were his memories of his family and that was what was going to have to get him through this.
"Olivia, I hope you find me soon. She wants to kill me and then go after our kids."
With each passing minute, Olivia was becoming more pissed off. They arrived at the address and Peter had met them there with a warrant.
"Olivia, what is this all about?"
"This bitch kidnapped Hank just because her husband is in prison for rape. She claims he's innocent."
"Is he?"
"No. His DNA matched what came up in the rape kit. I'm supposed to be on a plane that's about to leave for Hawaii but instead I had to postpone my anniversary trip to look for the man I love."
"How many years?"
"4."
They headed to the door and pounded on it.
"NYPD! OPEN UP!"
No one answered, so they rammed the door, went inside with their guns drawn and started checking each of the rooms.
"There's no one here."
"Liv, check this out. The basement door is chained and locked."
Someone cut the chain and they were able to get the door open.
"HANK, ARE YOU DOWN THERE?"
"OLIVIA."
"Oh my God! He's here!"
Olivia ran down the stairs and found Hank in the corner of the basement.
"Honey!"
She untied his feet, unlocked the handcuffs and kissed him.
"Are you ok?"
"I am now."
Most of the others came downstairs.
"You ok, Man?"
"I am now. What are you guys doing here anyway?"
"We came to visit but completely forgot you were heading to Hawaii. It's a good thing we came prepared."
"Thanks for being here. Who's watching the kids?"
"Cheryl from across the street."
"Ok."
"LIEUTENANT."
"YEAH."
"SHE'S BACK."
"OK."
They headed upstairs but ran into everyone else coming down.
"Too late."
"Where the hell do you think you're going?"
"Home."
"Like hell you are! You're not goin' anywhere until I have my husband here with me where he belongs!"
She grabbed Hank again, pulled a knife and held it to his throat.
"Release my husband now, Bitch or so help me, I will slit his throat!"
"I can't do that. He's guilty!"
"No, he's not! Now, I want all of you to leave your weapons here and get the hell out of my house. If my husband is not released by Midnight, your husband dies. Once your husband is dead, your kids will be next."
"Don't you dare threaten my kids! You kill my husband, I will kill you. How about that?"
"You wouldn't kill me, Bitch!"
"Oh, no? You have no idea how pissed I am right now."
"Not half as pissed as I am with my husband behind bars."
Olivia took the safety off, cocked her gun and put it to the other woman's head.
"Drop the knife and let him go or I will put a bullet in your head! Don't think I won't do it!"
The other woman held the knife tighter against Hank's throat.
"Drop your gun or he dies right in front of you!"
Olivia put the safety back on and put her gun back in her gun belt. The woman had brought some of her 'friends' in, so now they were blocking the door.
"Everyone get over there and we want your phones and weapons."
Everyone did as they were told. They got on the floor on one side of the basement and put their phones and weapons in front of them. They were all tied up. Hank was recuffed, his feet were tied up again and this time, he was thrown into a closet. Then the others left.
"Were we just outsmarted by a bunch of Biker bitches?"
"I think so."
"I should have blown her freakin' brains out when I had the chance. Damn it! What the hell am I going to do? If something happens to Hank, how am I going to be able to face my children again? That includes Justin and Erin. I can't explain this to my 5 year old and my 3 year old, whose entire life has been her daddy. I can't do this anymore. I can't keep putting my family in danger."
Olivia broke down and then she put her head on Amanda's shoulder. In the closet, Hank had heard everything she said. He knew it wasn't her fault and all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms. He had been in this predicament before and he had always come out on top. His eyes filled with tears as he thought about how beautiful Olivia had looked on their wedding day and when he had put their daughter in her arms for the first time. Lily and Noah were his life. He finally had a better relationship with Justin. Olivia saw to that. Being a cop, he had always been prepared for the worst. He had made enemies over the years, so he understood what Olivia was going through.
Peter had been in his car waiting for everyone to come out. He had contacted Erin and actually talked to her. She said she was on her way back to New York. She had contacted her Boss and he said they'd help. When Erin arrived in New York, she went to the address Peter had given her. The rest of the team was already there and gearing up.
"Lindsay, who is this?"
"My surrogate father was abducted. He's pretty much the only father I've known. His wife is a Lieutenant with the NYPD. They went in, along with my former squad from Chicago but never came back out."
"Let's go!"
They all got into the house and started cuffing everyone. Erin went downstairs and saw everyone. Some of the others came down as well and started untying everyone.
"Liv, where's Hank?"
"Closet."
"Lock cutter."
Someone handed Erin the lock cutter. She cut the lock and opened the door. She untied Hank's feet, took the cuffs off and then he hugged her. She helped him up and then he saw Olivia behind Erin with tears running down her cheeks.
"I am so sorry this happened to you."
"Don't be sorry."
Olivia threw her arms around Hank and they held each other. Then Olivia kissed him.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"I called and canceled our flight and hotel reservation just for now. Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"Yeah. Maybe I better."
"Ok. Erin, I take it you got my message?"
"I did but Peter also called me. He stayed out there the entire time."
"I'm glad he did."
Everyone headed upstairs and grabbed their guns and phones on the way out. Erin drove Hank and Olivia to the hospital, so Hank could get checked out, while everyone else went back to the Precinct or to Olivia and Hank's. Hank had gotten the results of his tests and only had a couple fractured ribs, some bruising and a slight concussion. They decided to keep him overnight for observation. Erin stayed with Hank, while Olivia went home to get him some things. She decided to bring the kids back with her. They got to the hospital and went up to Hank's room.
"Daddy, are you ok? I was scared."
"You were, huh?"
"Yep."
"I was too but I'll be fine."
"Daddy!"
"Hey! How's Daddy's girl?"
"Good. Love you."
"I love you too. Justin called. He wanted to know if we needed him to out here. I said everything was fine. Thanks for calling him."
"No problem. Erin, I didn't expect you to come home."
"I wasn't doing anyone any good where I was. He has always been there for me to get me out of some kind of trouble. I knew I had to be here for him."
"I still don't get how we were outsmarted by these women. I am so sorry you had to go through all that because of me."
"I already told you not to be sorry. If anyone understands your job, I do."
"It makes me so mad that she threatened them too. I never would have been able to live with myself if she had done something to either of them or you for that matter."
"I'm ok and we're all safe now. Settle down and relax, ok?"
"Ok."
Olivia kissed Hank and then Al and Ed came in.
"You ok, Man?"
"Yeah. Thanks for being here, Al."
"No problem."
"You too, Ed."
"If only I had gotten to your house a little sooner."
"I was so worried about the kids."
Ed ruffled Noah's hair.
"This guy handled things like a trooper. He looked to see who was at the door before he answered it. He told me you were missing and said he looked upstairs. I asked him if he had called his mom yet and he said no."
"He said he was scared though."
"I don't doubt that. Everything probably happened so quickly and he was all of a sudden responsible for his little sister."
"That's a big responsibility for a 5 year old. I'm glad Cheryl across the street said she had seen that van pull up alongside the SUV. She offered to help out in any way she can."
"I'm not planning on being abducted again anytime soon."
"I know that but if we need someone to watch them, we can always ask her instead of always having to depend on Lucy or if it's Amanda, she always seems to get calls at strange hours about a case."
"Yeah, true."
"I don't mind watching them."
"Yeah, I know you don't. Now that you're retired, you spend most of your time at our house anyway. I never expected the two of you to be such good friends."
"We always got along but I think we became better friends after the incident with Joe Utley a couple years ago. I know he wanted to go in and get you."
"He would have too."
"I don't doubt that."
"I never would have expected Hank to want to retire to play Mr. Mom."
"I just didn't want to miss out on all the important stuff like I did with Justin. Camille made this parenting stuff look so easy with Justin. It's gotten better though."
"He is an amazing dad."
"He sure is. I thought Cheryl was nice. She said she has grandkids and she's divorced. Whatever that means."
"It means she was married but not anymore."
"Why?"
"It happens for various reasons but sometimes people just fall out of love with each other."
"Will that happen to you and Daddy?"
"I hope not."
"It won't. I thought I was in love with Camille and we were married over 20 years. I never thought I could ever be that happy again. I was wrong. You made me come alive again and I am in this until the end."
"I am too. Are we going to try for Hawaii next week or hold off a few weeks?"
"I call and see when we can get the Suite."
"Ok. As much as I love these two, sometimes I look forward to just spending time alone with you."
"I do too."
"This isn't how I planned on spending our anniversary but at least we're together."
"That's how I see it. I was so afraid she was going to kill me. I started thinking about our life together and wondering if everything was just going to come crashing down in a split second like it could have. You gave me a second chance to be a husband again and the father that I should have been to Justin."
Olivia once again had tears running down her face.
"You helped me learn to accept myself after what Lewis had done to me. As many times as I wanted to give up after that, you loved me and got me through all the nightmares and sleepless nights, especially when I was pregnant. Not only did you have to deal with me but you had to deal with Noah. I couldn't even be at the hospital with him when he had been exposed to the measles. We've been through a lot together, you and me but there is no one else that I'd rather be on this journey with. I love you more and more every day."
"I love you too."
Olivia kissed Hank and then after a while, everyone left except for Olivia. She ended up staying with Hank all night and then she was able to take him home with her the next day. Hank had called and rescheduled their trip to Hawaii, which only ended up being a few weeks later. They had a lot to celebrate this year.
