Casey Novak walked into the SVU bullpen with a bright smile. She couldn't wait to tell everyone the good news. Cragen's door was open and his office was buzzing with activity. Munch and Fin were both on their cell phones talking in hushed tones while Cragen was busy yelling into his.
"How incompetent are you people! How could you let an obviously dangerous and ill woman out for a walk without supervision?!" Cragen slammed the phone down. "Unbelievable!"
"What's going on?"Casey asked
"Bellview let Kathy out for a walk on the grounds 5 hours ago. Noone has seen her since." Cragen said wearily rubbing his hands over his face.
"All I'm getting from Elliot's house is the answering machine and nothing from his cell." Munch said as he hung up his phone.
"Ok, so Elliot's MIA. We don't know where the kids are and Kathy is ...?" Cragen said directing his question to Fin who held up his hand indicating he was getting news.
"Elliot's with Olivia. They left the court house together right before the grand jury came back." Casey said to the shock of the others.
"I was under the impression they weren't really talking." Munch said as Fin finally hung up his phone.
"That was Queens dispatch. Two officer's picked up a woman walking. She told them her name was Kathy, her husband was a cop and that her car had broken down. They gave her a ride home. Said she looked fine and that her kids were there to greet her." Fin reported.
"When was this?"Cragen asked
"A little over an hour ago." Fin responded. Cragen gave Munch a questioning glance.
"Something's wrong. I don't like it. ." Munch stated.
"Neither do I. God I hope she hasn't hurt those kids." Cragen said quietly as he picked up his phone. Dialing Olivia's home number. ( ring ) "Munch, Fin get over to Elliot's house." They were out the door in moments (ring). Cragen looked at Casey. "What did the grand jury have to say?"
"They didn't indict her. Thank god.!" ( ring ) "When will this nightmare end?" Casey said mostly to herself.
It wasn't the when but the how that Cragen was really worried about (ring ) ...
Olivia Benson's apartment
Elliot had driven them in silence to her apartment . For someone who had said he wanted to talk he wasn't saying much so far. Their silence used to be comfortable but now they felt strange, almost as if they didn't know what to say. They had never had that problem until now. Even when they first met it was as if they had known each other all their lives. If they fought it never lasted more than a couple of days. Before they fell back into step together. Unlike now . In the last six months they had barley said more then two words to each other. Olivia knew it was mostly because of Kathy but it still hurt . She wondered what had changed.
Olivia unlocked the door and stepped inside Elliot following close behind her. He had mentioned in the elevator ride up to her floor that Kathy was in Bellview , voluntarily, and that Maureen had helped him make some dissensions. Olivia wondered if it was the same things she had asked Liv about. Guess I'm going to find out. She thought to herself as Elliot moved past her into the apartment taking off his coat and tossing it on the back of the couch. She turned her back to him to shutting the door and locking the deadbolt. When she turned to face him he was suddenly in front of her instead of by the couch. She felt a surge of fear go through her. She couldn't help it. The last six months of therapy were helping but it would be a long time before she felt safe around anyone again even Elliot.
He hadn't meant to scare her and scolded himself inwardly. Even with a foot of space between them he felt her shudder in fear. How could he reassure her, tell her ...
With deliberate slowness Elliot raised both of his hands to touch her face. Her eyes following his movements carefully. As his fingers began to caress her and as their eyes met for the first time the last few months of awkwardness evaporated. Without thinking he kissed her softly on the lips. Afraid he had upset her he pulled back quickly looking into her eyes but he didn't see fear. He saw want, need. This time when he leaned in to kiss her she kissed him back.
What had started out as a sweet soul searching kiss was now turning feverish and passionate. Olivia fell back against the door for support, taking Elliot with her. At first he was afraid he would crush her but he lost all of his ability to think as her hands moved from clutching his ass to unbuckling his pants. He had managed to unbutton her blouse and discover to his delight that she wasn't wearing a bra. He truly hated those things. He tore his mouth away from hers to trail kisses down her neck. He faintly heard the phone ring.
When his mouth found her breast Olivia thought she would die. The room began to spin when he started swirling his tongue . She stopped trying to unbuckle his pants and moved her hands to his shoulders to stop herself from sliding to the floor but it was no use her knees went weak she felt herself sliding to the floor as the phone rang a second time.
As Olivia slid to the floor Elliot went with her attacking her neck with kisses and letting his hands move over her skin. When the phone rang for a third time they could no longer ignore it. They broke away from each other breathing heavily. Olivia got to her feet and stumbled almost drunkenly to the phone picking it up on the fourth ring.
"Hello." Her voice was shaky and her breath ragged.
"Hello. Olivia? Are you ok?" Cragen asked immediately concerned.
"Yeah. I'm fine." She said as she tried to get herself under control
"You sound out of breath." He was worried, he knew she was still having health problems.
"I was in the other room. I just ran to the phone." She was lying and he knew it.
"I need to talk to Elliot is he there?" Deciding to let it go.
"Yes . Just a moment." "It's Cragen ."She said as she handed the phone to Elliot who had finished buckling his pants back up.
"Hey Captain , what's up?"
Stabler Residence 7:12 P. M..
Elliot and Olivia arrived a few minutes after Munch and Fin. As they walked towards the house Munch stopped them.
"Kathy's in there with the kids. She wouldn't let me in but she sent Maureen to the door. I slipped her my phone. We can't see what's going on but we can hear them. Elliot does she have access to your second weapon.?"
"No. Since the first suicide attempt I've been keeping both my guns at work. Why? Are you telling me she has a gun!"
"Yes. If it's not yours then where..."
Listening to the phone Fin, was growing concerned he could hear Maureen trying desperately to calm her mother down but it wasn't going well. Suddenly he heard Kathy's voice louder than before "What the hell is this!" Shit, Fin thought, we've been made. He turned to tell the others when a gun shot rang out. Before the echo subsided Elliot and Olivia were running past him with Munch not far behind. They bounded up onto the porch and Elliot kicked the door in without hesitation.
The first thing Elliot saw were his children. Sitting lined up in a row on the couch. As he stepped closer to them his eyes searched for any signs of blood. He felt his heart break at the sight of the terrified faces. He didn't see Kathy...
Olivia was right behind Elliot when he entered the living room. Her eyes fell on the kids. All four there, all breathing. She caught some movement to her left. Her eyes widened when she saw Kathy raise her gun and aim directly at Elliot's head.
Elliot never saw Kathy. He only heard her pull back the hammer of the gun. It sounded so close like it was right next to his ear. He suddenly felt himself flying backward through the air and hitting the ground. Elliot heard his kids scream then everything went black.
Even as Kathy was chocking the hammer to the gun Olivia was grabbing Elliot by the back of his pants. She pulled him backwards just as the bullet passed through the space where his head had been lodging into the wall. The kids screamed as Elliot hit the floor.
Munch grabbed Elliot's unconscious form and dragged him out of harm's way. He and Fin then carried him outside as Cragen pulled up with Casey in tow. They could hear an ambulance in the distance. Cragen looked around worriedly.
"Where's Olivia?"
"She right behind..." Munch looked back towards the house "Shit!"
Olivia watched as Munch and Fin dragged Elliot out. She knew he would be ok. She pictured the gun in her head , a revolver, on six shots. Two down four to go. She looked at Elliot's children making eye contact with Maureen. She gave her a reassuring smile as she mouthed he's ok . Maureen nodded in understanding and spoke quietly to her brother and sisters.
Olivia took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the wall and into view.
