Redeeming Elliot: Prologue
A/N: I've been kind of absent from the Internet recently, as I've been crazy busy with school and applying to colleges, but I have not forgotten my stories :) there's another defining broken chapter on its way and it should be up before the week is out :) This little story is in response to the horribly depressing season 13 premiere :( and the season 12 finale
It had been a rough few days for the Manhattan Special Victims Unit. Just days ago, Jenny Fox, the daughter of a murder victim came into the SVU Squadroom with a gun and started shooting. She killed the suspects in the holding cells and then shot Sister Peg, a nun known for giving aid to prostitutes and a friend of Olivia's. Elliot was forced to shoot her when she turned her gun on the SVU detectives. She knew it tore him up to do it. They sat on the roof for a long time that night-there were no words to be said. They just needed each other. They'd fallen asleep in the cribs, wrapped safely in each other's arms, each drawing some faint comfort from the other. Cragen didn't even bother to say anything, probably knowing IAB was going to be all over them for the deaths come morning. Elliot didn't say a thing all night. There was nothing Olivia could say or do to make this right. Nothing to assuage his pain. He'd shot a high school girl dead. Sister Peg was gone because their security system was a piece of shit. Nothing was going to change that. "It'll be okay, El. We'll get through this. It'll be okay," she whispered over and over in his ear.
"Olivia? If you've had any contact with Elliot, I need to know. IAB wants a thorough investigation, but if he shows he has a much better chance of being allowed to come back to SVU...Olivia?" She wasn't listening. For the first time in 12 years, she had absolutely no idea where Elliot was. He wasn't home and wasn't answering his phone. He'd left in the middle of the night after the shooting and Olivia woke up alone in the cribs. It'd been three days. Fin said not to worry...Elliot wouldn't eat his gun. He was stronger than that...but was he?
Review if you want to read a story about Olivia's quest (teamed up with Jo Marlowe and Dani Beck, of course) to find Elliot and bring him back to SVU. I'm going to try to update some of my old things tonight-at least, my SVU stories. But yeah, I'm still alive and writing :D Sorry this was so short.
