Chapter 1

Benson, Stablor and Cragen were coming out from the building as cops held people back. The three were walking away from the crowd.

"Benson! Olivia Benson!" a man said smiling widely from off to the side of the street. Benson got wide-eyed as she let out a gasp and took a small step backwards. Stablor and Cragen looked at her frowning- she looked scared. As the man walked up she stood closer to Stablor and he subconsciously put on his mean-cop look.

"Olivia! How are you?" the man asked. He seemed very fake- and had a wide smile on the whole time he talked.

"What have you been up to? I've missed you so much!" he said as he pulled her into a hug.

"Mm!" he said as he kept smiling and she stood back as he let go of her.

"I just moved here a couple months ago- I've been looking for you. You disappeared off the side of the earth- then I heard about this case, and saw your picture." He said as he took a step forward.

"I've missed you Olivia". He said as he gently put his hand on her cheek. She bowed her head down a little, almost ashamed and Stablor glared at the man for touching her, she was obviously scared.

"We have to go- we're kind of busy" Stablor said after a second as he pushed between Benson and the man.

"Oh, I understand. We'll catch up later Olivia", he said as he leaned in and kissed her cheek. He waved once as he smiled and walked off to his car. Benson was frozen.

"Who was that?" Stablor asked frowning as Cragen was listening just as concerned. She didn't say anything, she just turned and kept walking like nothing had happened. Cragen and Stablor frowned at each other.

"Try to see what's going on with Olivia- don't let that guy near her" Cragen said as Stablor nodded. They started to walk to catch up to Benson as she headed for the car. She went to the back door, behind the driver's seat, to let Cragen sit in the passenger seat- and Stablor would drive of course. When Cragen and Stablor heard an explosion. They looked up to see the car on fire. Benson was laying a few feet from the car on the ground. She wasn't moving. Stablor started to run to Benson as Cragen called for paramedics on his radio. All the people had ducked and the cops had to make sure people were careful- in case of other bombs that could be around. Stablor got to Benson's side as he felt for a pulse. He couldn't feel one.

"Olivia" he said as he tried to feel her pulse again. The paramedics came up quickly, luckily they were right around the corner.

"She doesn't have a pulse!" he yelled as Cragen came up. They stood back and watched as the small team of paramedics tried to feel for a pulse.

"No pulse" a woman said.

"Shockers" a man yelled as a woman took out a machine.

"Ready?"

"Charging"

"Charged!"

"Clear!" the man yelled as they put the shockers on her. Stablor had a hard time watching.

"No pulse" the woman shouted and the machine let out a long beep noise.

"Shockers! The man yelled again as Stablor watched Benson carefully. She looked so helpless as she lay on the dark black top.

"Charging!" a woman barked.

"Charged!" she yelled again.

"Clear!" he yelled as he put the shockers on her. It shook her body and Stablor starting getting upset.

"No pulse" a woman said as the machine still let out a long beep. Stablor started breathing harder, panicking, as the team started doubting her survival.

"One more time" the headman said.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Charging!" the same woman said. Stablor walked to the side of Benson. He took her hand that lay limp on the ground.

"Come on Liv… come on", he said as Cragen could barely watch.

"Charged!" the same woman said.

"Clear!" the headman said again as Stablor let go of her hand and moved just a little back.

"Come on Liv, come on!" he pleaded.

"I got a pulse!" one of the women shouted as the machine let out a steady beeping noise. The headman nodded.

"We got to get her to the hospital stat- she's losing blood!" he shouted as they lifted her into the van. Stablor watched carefully.

"Can I ride along?" Stablor asked.

"Not enough room" one of the women said as she closed the van door. They drove off fast.

"Good job Liv" Stablor said as he looked down at the ground.
