I don't own Law and Order or the characters. Dick Wolf does. It's just a thought that popped into my head from the song Breakeven by the Script.

When Elliot got there he saw the door to his house open and the contents strewn about in a messy fashion. Before he could say anything a lamp

came flying at him and he barely moved in time. Elliot looked up and saw a guy standing there with dark brown eyes, blonde hair, and a really evil

looking smile.

He said "So you're the great Elliot Stabler?"

"Kathy has talked about you these past few months, and it's really started to annoy me."

"Who are you?"

"My name is David Norcom; I work at the hospital with your wife."

"She's never mentioned you before."

"I didn't think she would since she was having an affair."

Elliot looked up and said "what?"

"That's right Elliot."

"Your wife has been cheating on you, and you didn't even know it."

"I suspected it, but I didn't know with whom."

"Well now you know."

"Were you not good in bed or something Stabler?"

"Couldn't get it up?"

"Where's Kathy?"

"She's upstairs for now."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm taking her and she's going to live with me."

"Like hell she is."

"Fine you asked for it Elliot."

He pulled out a gun and shot him. Elliot fell to the ground and David said "it was a pleasure to meet you."

David walked back upstairs and had Kathy in his arms. She looked unconscious and that's when Elliot blacked out, the next thing he knew was

he was in an ambulance and was hooked up to oxygen and saline. "Were almost there detective just hold on." They finally pulled into the

hospital and they unloaded him and took him into the emergency room. Elliot then remembered that guy took his wife and tried to get up.

The doctors had to subdue him so they gave him some meds and he drifted of to sleep. When he woke up again he saw Olivia and Cragen

sitting by his bed, and Munch and Fin outside the door.

Elliot groaned and Liv asked "El, how you feeling?"

"I've been better."

"Elliot what happened" as Cragen got closer to his bed.

"I got home and was almost hit by a lamp."

"A guy threw it at me."

"His name was David something and he works at the hospital with Kathy."

Elliot then jerked upright and said "he took Kathy."

The stitches from where he had been shot ripped open and blood started slowly streaming out. Cragen called a doctor back in and they fixed him back up,

but was told to not tear them out again. "Elliot this is important did you see what he drove?" "I passed a black Honda Civic on my way in maybe it was his."

"We'll find Kathy you stay here and be good," Cragen walked out with Munch and Fin.

Olivia stared at him and said "I'm glad you're ok El."

"You worried us a lot, because you looked kind of pale."

"The doctors said it was because you lost a lot of blood."

Elliot then sat back up and Olivia went to his aid. "Not to fast El."

"I have to find Kathy."

Every mention of her name made Liv nauseous and made her heart crack a little more.

"Elliot you heard Cragen you're job is to rest and recover."

"Yeah, I know Liv but I can't sit here and do nothing."

"I can always have them knock you out again Elliot."

"You wouldn't Benson."

"Yes, I would, because I care El."

That distracted Elliot for a minute so he stopped to think of what she had just said.

"So if you care so much why don't you help spring me?"

"If I did you would be going against Cragen's orders then you and I would get in trouble and that wouldn't help Kathy."

Elliot laid back down and said "you're right Liv."

Elliot sighed and said "damn, just when things were halfway decent."

Please review it. Thanks.
