CSU and SVU were all in the Barba's apartment trying to figure out where Allen took Maria.
"Rafael" Liv called as she ran on scene.
"Liv, why are you here Noah's sick go be with him" he said
"It's fine, Lucy is taking care of him.. so you think the agent that came in to help with this case is good for this" liv asked
"My neighbor said she saw him carry her out of her, and security cameras show him carrying her" he said sighing running his hands through his hair.
"We'll find her Barba" she said putting a hand on his shoulder.
••••••
I groaned as I opened my eyes.
I was chained to a wall. My head was throbbing. I looked around and saw I was like in some cellar in the basement. I grunted as I pulled on the chains even though I know I won't be able to get out of them. I looked to my left and my breath hitched in my throat. There were bones on the ground and a row of chains that hold people like the ones holding me. This wasn't his first time doing this.
"Your awake. I was starting to think I killed you" Allen said as he walked closer to me.
"What do you want from me?" I asked not showing any fear.
"You disrespected me by throwing me out of the case" he said as he pulled his gun out of his holster and admired it. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as I was looking at the gun and then back at him.
"Your a dirty cop" I said to him. He placed the gun back in his holster coming up to me.
"Damn right I am" he spat at me.
"Your not gonna get away with this. My squad will find you and bury you" I said. He looked at me with evil in his eyes. The only two people who ever had that crazy look was, Gregory Yates and William Lewis.
"Oh sweetheart I'm sure I'm not the one they are gonna be burying" he said to me.
"Now.. lets have some fun" he said as he turned around at the table in front of me that had knifes, hammers, everything you can image.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Where are we on finding them" Barba said walking into the station
"Barba, your not supposed to get involved" liv said going up to him.
"I don't give a damn what I'm supposed to do!" Rafael yelled letting his temper loose. He took a deep breath as the squad looked at him. He never rose his voice like that before.
"I'm sorry... I just wanna find my wife" he said as his voice cracked. He was angry and sad.
He gripped his fist in anger.
"Rafael. I promise you we will find her" liv reassured him. He looked at her and nodded his head.
•••••
I groaned in pain as he finished cutting my skin. He carved the words ALB on my side.
"And there we go. Just a little branding. ALB.. Allen little bitch" he said and I clenched my jaw.
He set the knife down and looked at me.
"You don't have to do this" I said softly. He came up to me and I flinched slightly as his hand touched my cheek.
"Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do.. I'm gonna do whatever I want to you" he whispered to me and i felt disgusted. I spit in his face. He chuckled lightly and wiped his face. My head snapped to the other side as he slapped me.
"Oh I'm gonna have my sweet time with you. Make you regret kicking me off the case" he said. He turned his back on me. I pulled on the chains again but was knocked out when Allen quickly whipped around and pistol whipped me in the head.
•••••
"NYPD" swat team said as they kicked down the door of Allen house. Swat and SVU ran into the house and searched.
"Clear" they all said as they checked the rooms.
"There's a basement. I'm going down" Carisi said as Rollins followed him. They went down the narrow stairs into a dark room. The smell was horrible. Rollins felt around the wall and eventually flicked on the light.
"Oh my god" Rollins said in shock as Carisi did the sign of the cross. In front of them was a mad house. Rows of chains that hold people. Skeleton remains of people on the ground. Tables and tables of guns, knives, hammers, pliers.
"He tortures his victims and then kills them" Carisi said in shock
"We need to find her fast" Rollins said
"What did you find down here" liv said as she walked downstairs and stopped in her tracks when she saw the basement.
"Get CSU here! A-and don't let Barba come down here!" She yelled up the stairs
"He's gonna have a heart attack" liv added quietly.
••••••
"Look at that. They found my basement" Allen said. He moved me to a different warehouse with the same kindof set up in his basement. I was again tied to the wall. He showed me his phone. A camera was on the left corner of the basement so he could see everything.
"That means they are close enough to finding me" I said and Allen laughed.
"They aren't gonna find you" he said
"This isn't your first time doing this.. how did you get away with it?" I asked.
"Ah ah ah.. a magician doesn't share any of his secrets.. instead why don't you tell me how you met your husband" he said grabbing a chair and sitting in front of me.
"Seeing you have a file with everything about me in your hands.. I'm sure you know" I said. He got up slamming the file on the table and grabbed my neck and applied pressure to the point where I couldn't breathe.
"I would like to hear it from you" he said. He let go of my neck and I coughed.
"Here let me get you something to drink" he said grabbing a bottle of vodka.
"No please" I choked out but he grabbed my face and poured the vodka in my mouth. My throat already hurt from him choking me, now the vodka adds extra pain. I started coughing and spitting it out as it burns my throat. He set the vodka down and sat back in his chair as my head felt weak and hanged low.
"Now, every time you disrespect me.. it's a worser punishment... that was a test. You wouldn't tell me about your husband so you got punished" he said as a timer on his watch went off.
"Oh goodie, it's time to go live" he said as he got up grabbed black duck tape and placed it on my lips.
He went over to his camera and set it up, I groaned and shook my head slightly, i don't want my squad to see me being vulnerable. I don't want rafi to see what this man has done to me. He pressed the live button and started talking.
•••••
"Uh guys" Rollins said as she clicked on a link. She played it on the big screen in the station. Everyone including Barba watched the horror that was going on.
"Get TARU to trace this now" liv said and carisi picked up the phone and made the call
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.. I believe she belongs to you.. fell into the wrong hands. She's been a very bad girl, always trying to escape. Talking back to me.. she doesn't realize that every time she disrespects me it leads to a bigger and bigger punishment." Allen said. Everyone in the squad room was worried about Maria. She hasn't moved an inch since he started the video. Her head hanged low and at this point everyone thought she was dead until she lifted her head slightly. She groaned softly because of the pain she was enduring.
"He knows about her temper.. if we don't find her fast, she's gonna go off on him and he's gonna kill her" Rafael said in realization to what Allen meant.
"We got the address" Carisi said hanging up the phone.
"Ok, I want SWAT there, and wear your vests. He's a cop, he knows are tactics" liv said.
"Barba you can come but you need to stay in the car" she said and he nodded his head
••••••
"Wasn't that fun" Allen said putting the camera away. I was losing a lot of blood from my head and from all the places he cut me up. I was in and out of consciousness.
"Hey" he said and slapped me and my head popped up.
"Don't go unconscious on me yet.. I'm not done with you yet." He grabbed his gun and loaded it.
"This is when you say bye bye" he said and pointed it at me. I started hyperventilating thinking this was the end of me.
The warehouse doors busted open and swat and SVU entered the room. I saw the other door behind Allen open slowly and quietly and I saw Carisi walk in.
"You all are a little too late" he said and placed his finger on the trigger getting ready to pull it. My head hanged low and my eyes were closed. I heard a gunshot go off but when I opened my eyes I saw Allen on the ground. I looked at Carisi and he was the one who shot Allen.
"Maria.. your ok now" liv said as she removed the tape from my mouth. Cops came and cut off the chains from my wrist and Carisi caught me and set me down slowly as the paramedics came in.
"Alm" Rollins said looking at my side.
"Allen's little bitch" I said through gritted teeth. The three shared a look with each other.
The paramedics got me on the gurney and wheeled me out.
"Maria" rafi said as he came up to me and held my hand as they rolled me into the ambulance and he climbed in next to me.
"Rafi" I said tears falling down my cheeks
•••••
"She's still in surgery but the doctor thinks she has a good chance of making a full recovery" Barba said to everyone.
"That's good Rafael.. she's a fighter, she'll pull through" liv said and he smiled lightly and nodded his head.
