Olivia approached the nurses desk "Do you have something I can write on?" the nurse gave her a clipboard with several sheets of paper and a pen. Olivia smiled a thank you. And sat down next to Kathy's door. She let all of the thoughts and feeling that had been building up for the last 6 years out onto the pages. When she was done she folded it up and went back to the nurses station. She addressed it , Elliot , and clipped her badge to it. "When Detective Stabler wakes up can you please see that he gets this." The nurse nodded and took the note from her. "Also the extra security measures we put in place will no longer be needed." And before she could change her mind she walked out of the hospital and into the night.

Grand Jury Room 4 Seeking Indictment of Olivia Benson In the death of Richard White Charge : Murder 1st Degree 9:35 A. M.
As Casey Novak Stood at the podium questioning Detective Stabler she knew her career was over. Her bosses had made it clear that she had no choice in seeking the indictment against Olivia, Because "Police officer's should be held to a higher standard." BULL SHIT!! She knew this was nothing more than politics. With everyone scrambling to cover their asses, from the prison hospital who let him escape to Internal Affairs. IAB had been looking for an excuse to get rid of Olivia. Cragen and Elliot too, it seemed would also be going down if they had their way.
Although Elliot was answering her question as politely as he could. She could see the hatred in his eyes pointed at her. She thought she had come out from behind Alexandra Cabot's shadow. They seemed to respect her and had even invited her to O' Maley's with them to celebrate a couple of times. Now they hated her. Not that she blamed them. She hated herself too for not standing up to her bosses. She wondered briefly what Cabot would have done. Probably would've told the higher up's to kiss her ass and then quite. Not a bad idea. She just might do just that.
"Detective Stabler, When did you first know your partner had left the hospital to meet Richard White?"
"approximately 6 hrs. after my wife had been admitted. The nurse informed me that some flowers had been delivered. I knew that they were from White. It was his signature to send roses to his victims."
"Was there a card?"
"No. Just an envelop."
"Was the envelop empty?"
"No......
Elliot approached the nurses desk. "I'm going upstairs to check on my partner and kids. If anything happens.." "Oh, Your partner was here she left you this." the nurse said handing him the letter with Olivia's badge attached to it. " And these came for your wife ."She set a box of long stemmed roses in front of him. He had a pretty good idea who they were from. He carefully retrieved the little envelop containing the card. Making sure not to touch the thorns, remembering Liv's misfortune. He opened the envelop but instead of a card he found a lock of reddish/brown hair. Olivia's hair. He stared at it a moment then looked back at the letter. What she had done hit him. "Oh, God."
"What happened next?"
"I informed my Captain that White had Olivia."
Elliot bypassed the elevator and took the stairs two at a time. He arrived on the fourth floor in record time. He walked straight up to Cragen , took him by the front of his shirt and threw him against the wall hard. " Damm you to hell! How could you let her do this!" Munch and Fin pulled Elliot away. "What ?!" "White's got her!" Elliot screamed. "Not for long, and if he so much as harms a hair on her head." Fin said reassuringly. Elliot laughed "To late." He threw the envelop at Cragen who caught it and looked inside. Spilling the contents into his hand he looked at Elliot in horror. The kids stood in the door way in tears having heard their father's news. Munch tried to talk to him. "Elliot we couldn't stop her." "What?!" He shook himself from their grasp. "You couldn't handcuff her to something? You are cops, right?!" "Elliot," Cragen said as he approached him. " She told us she wouldn't leave without..." Don't you dare put this on her! You were supposed to watch over her." His voice broke with emotion. "You're her Captain, what's more, she thought of you as a father. What father lets his daughter sacrifice herself to the devil." He looked at Cragen with disgust. " Whatever happens to her now, is on your head." Everyone was silent as Elliot gathered up his kids and walked away.
