Hello! So what did you think of my last story? I needed a dramatic ending that would get you all itching for more. he he he! So here is chapter 1. You probably thought that the last chapter was sort of rushed, but there was a reason. Here is where we go back in time…

Disclaimer: Oh, just forget it.

"It's all my fault! Aaron Dreet wants me dead. Maureen's in a coma now, Lizzie still hasn't woke up, I just found out Dickie is missing, I'm divorced, and you're gone." Now she knew his purpose on the bridge.

"Elliot? What the hell are you doing? This is not your fault! You cannot kill yourself for this bastard! Get off the fucking bridge!"

"I got a note. He's after you too! If I'm gone, all of this w-will stop. I-I can't bear to see anyone else go." She could hear him sobbing on the other end. "I'm sorry Olivia!"

"No Elliot!"

"I love you Liv. I always have. I'm sorry."

"No! No! El? Elliot! ELLIOT!" the line was dead.

36 Hours Earlier

Aprox. 10:25 am

"I'm here to see a Nurse Rena Williams. She called me and told me to come here." Elliot said to the receptionist sitting at the front desk of Bellevue Hospital. He seemed to be talking faster than normal.

"Oh, yes. Rena? Mr. Stabler is here." the receptionist told a nurse sitting not ten feet away. She got up and approached Elliot.

"Mr. Stabler, thank you for coming. I-I think you should know,-"

"What? Is there something wrong?"

"Mr. Stabler, I'm very sorry to tell you this, but earlier this morning, your oldest daughter, Maureen, entered a coma. Unfortunately, we are unsure why. I'm very, very sorry."

"Oh my God."

"I'm deeply sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid that chances are, she may not wake up."

"What?" Elliot was confused.

"I'm very sorry Mr. Stabler. You may see your daughter if you'd like." the nurse pointed to the elevator. Elliot was shocked. He never thought anything like this would ever occur. But he didn't understand. How could this happen? How could Maureen fall into a coma for unknown reasons? Did someone give her something? Did something happen while he was gone? He knew that Cragen said he would put a guard outside the room, but he didn't notice one before he left. Although, he wasn't really watching. So what happened?

11:14 am Munch's Apartment

"Munch! There you are! Cragen's been looking for you. I told him you were coming in late and he was pissed since you're like 4 hours behind! He said he was gonna kick that bony ass of yours. Today we're supposed to go see the body shop Dreet worked at since we didn't go before. You'd better go find Cragen and tell him we're leaving. I ain't goin' in there again. You know he gets weird about being late." Fin told him.

"John!"

Oh no. I guess I'm gonna get my bony yet very sexy and irresistible ass kicked now… he thought. "Yes Captain?"

"Where the hell were you? You're four hours late!"

"I'm sorry sir, my alarm doesn't work right."

"Well then get a new one! We need to make some progress on this case! Now go with Fin to the body shop. Now!"

"Yes Sir."

11:43 am Blaine's Auto Body

"Excuse me? Could we please speak with the manager?" Munch asked a young man working on a red convertible.

"What is this about?" Munch and Fin held up their badges. "Right this way." he said, wiping his hands on a cloth and leading them inside. He stopped at a small office. The sign read:

Blaine A. Clark Manager

"Hi. We're Detectives Fin and Tutuola. We need to ask you some questions about one of your employees." Fin told him.

"Alright. I'm Blaine, the manager here. How can I help you?" the man said politely. He was sitting at his desk signing a paper.

"Aaron Dreet. He's one of your employees. We-"

"I'm sorry sir, Mr. Dreet quit yesterday."

"Shit."

Okay. I have to go to bed now. I just wanted to start on this. I need to get up in 6 hours and I'm not gonna get to bed for quite awhile, as it's storming pretty bad out right now. What did you think of it? REVIEW! And don't forget to check out Made in China.
