Sorry again for the late update! I've been very busy with last minute semester stuff, like finals and such. But here is the next chapter! Hope you enjoy. I'm still having some trouble figuring out where to go with this, but I think this will turn out okay. Thanks again for reading!


Fin sat Kathy in a chair, her hands still cuffed behind her. Olivia walked into the room with Casey and closed the door behind her.

"Can you at least take these damn things off of me?" Kathy angrily.

"Not exactly." Fin responded. "You did assault a police officer, you know."

"Well, obviously." Kathy shook her head. "I didn't mean to though… I let my anger get the best of me, and I'm sorry. I only came down here to talk to Olivia about Kathleen..."

"This isn't my case, Kathy." Olivia explained. "I'm just overseeing the detectives working the—"

"Olivia, please. Can I just talk to you?" Kathy asked.

Olivia stared at her partner's ex-wife. She could see that she was worried about her daughter. She looked suspicious, though. Kathy definitely had something else on her mind, but only time will tell.

"Fine. We'll talk." Olivia said. "Fin, un-cuff her."

"Do you want us to stay?" Casey asked quietly.

"No. Just hang in the hallway. Get Amaro and Rollins though. If she wants to talk about Kathleen, they need to be here. I'm pretty positive she has a different conversation in mind, so give us a few minutes before you send them in."

"Sure thing." Casey led Fin out of the interrogation room and into the hallway.

Olivia walked up behind them and closed the door. She took in a deep breath, pushed her anger to the back of her mind, and then turned around to face Kathy, who was sitting in the chair smiling. Olivia balanced herself against the door and crossed her arms.

"Alright Kathy, what is this really about? I know you didn't come down here just to talk about Kathleen. You slapped me for another reason."

"Good work, detective." Kathy said with the smile still on her face. "I see you have a new necklace and badge. They're pretty shiny… who gave them to you?"

"Ha! Are you kidding? You came down here to talk about this? I know Elliot already told you he gave me this."

"Oh he did… and I just want to say I'm pretty pissed. Still pissed, actually. He never thought about giving that medal to me. He said he wanted to keep it for himself. Once I found out that he gave it to you, I knew that everything I thought was true. You ruined our marriage!"

"Kathy, you can't blame me for why your marriage failed."

"I'm pretty sure I can, Olivia. Ever since you showed up in the picture thirteen years ago, I knew something changed in Elliot forever. I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew that you were behind it."

"Get real, Kathy! I didn't place some freakish spell on Elliot so he could fall in love with me. Your marriage was already failing. I even tried to help you both!"

"You did it out of pity, Olivia. I knew you always wanted him. You just couldn't wait for the opportunity to snag him up. I bet you were crushed when he told you about coming back to me after our first separation. I bet you were crushed when you found out I was pregnant."

Olivia gulped. Kathy was right. Elliot going back to Kathy after they separated a couple of years back, plus her being pregnant with Eli, did hurt a little. She couldn't let her know though. "Kathy, I was happy that he went back. I was happy to hear about Eli! I helped deliver that boy! I was scared for the both of you!"

"Well thanks for being so caring. So where is Elliot now, Olivia?"

"He should still be at the hospital. You know, the one you work at, Kathy?"

"No, not that. I mean, where is he living now? You know he just came home this morning and packed all his stuff? He didn't mention anything about finding an apartment so soon. So where is he staying, Liv? He's probably staying with you, isn't that right?"

"Why does it matter to you? You're not his wife anymore, Kathy?"

"He will always be mine, Olivia. No matter how you think about it. We got married, we had five kids. He'll always be my first love."

"Kathy, from what I heard, you pretty much moved on already. So why are you still hounding Elliot's life? The only thing you should worry about regarding Elliot is your children, not his love life or what he chooses to do with it." Olivia said boldly.

"Oh, you little bitch!" Kathy shouted as she rose up from her chair.

Fin quickly entered the room with Nick and Amanda. "Mrs. Stabler, here are the detectives in charge of Kathleen's case. Liv, Casey needs to talk to you."

"Thanks Fin." With that said, Olivia walked out the room and closed the door. She stood in front of the one-way glass, watching the detectives talk to Kathy.

"Are you okay, Liv?" Casey asked.

"Yeah, why shouldn't I be?" she asked.

"Well, considering what just happened. I figured you would be all—"

"Case, I'm fine. Kathy clearly has some issues she needs to work out with Elliot. She doesn't bother me the slightest bit anymore."

"Are you sure? You seemed a little bothered in there."

"Trust me, Casey. I'm fine." Olivia said to her friend. "I know how I feel and I know how Elliot feels about me. He obviously isn't letting me go anymore. We still have some things to talk about, but it will be okay. I'm gonna head back to the hospital. Keep me updated."

Olivia patted Casey's shoulder and left. Casey watched her walk off and sighed. She turned back around and walked into the interrogation room to join the detectives.

"Can you please explain this again? I don't think I'm hearing you correctly." Kathy said.

"Although we have enough evidence to charge the guy who raped Kathleen's friend, there is a possibility that we have to charge her with assault." Amanda explained.

"But why? She defended her friend! Doesn't that count for anything?" Kathy asked.

"Mrs. Stabler, we're going to try our best to make sure this stays as simple as possible." Casey explained. "Yes, she defended her friend. However, she did do a nasty number on the man and there is a possibility that he might press charges against her. After all, she wasn't the girl he was trying to go after."

"And that makes it okay?" Kathy shouted.

"No, of course not." Nick replied. "We're going to talk to Kathleen once more, then the man, and then we'll talk to a judge."

"I'll present the evidence the detectives gathered up and I will try my best to keep Kathleen from being charged. I know you and Elliot want the best for her, and since she hasn't been taking her medication like she should, that may help us get what we want." Casey said.

"Wait what? She hasn't been taking her meds?" Kathy asked quietly.

"No." Nick answered. "The doctor examined her and didn't find a trace of her medication in her system. Which could be the reason why she acted out the way she did."

"So you can use that to help her?"

"One option we have open is to get her to plead guilty and then send her to a rehabilitation center for a few weeks, just so she can get back to her usual self. She hasn't been taking her medication for months." Casey suggested.

"Okay then… I guess I'll get going. I have to talk to Elliot about this now. Thanks." Kathy nodded her head and left the room.

"She is one wack-job." Amanda said once the coast was clear.

"You don't even know the half of it." Fin added.

"Wait, did she say she was going to the hospital now?" Casey asked.

"Yeah, why? Somethin' wrong?" Fin asked the ADA.

"I'll see you guys later." Casey rushed out the interrogation and ran through the bullpen.

"Is everything okay, counselor?" Cragen asked as he stepped out of his office.

"Did Olivia leave yet?"

"Yes, a few seconds ago. You might be able to catch her before she gets on the elevator."

Casey gave the captain a nod and ran to the elevators. Seems like he was right, because Olivia just step foot into the elevator as she arrived.

"Liv, wait!"

"What's wrong?" she asked, stepping out the elevator.

"I'm going with you."

"Oh Casey, that is not necessary. You don't need to tag along with me."

"Oh yes I do. Kathy is heading to the hospital now. I think I should be there, just in case she tries something again."

"She wouldn't dare to do anything with Elliot there."

"Are you sure about that? Last time I checked, she was pissed. You don't want her causing hell in the hospital, especially in front of her daughter that has been off her meds."

Olivia's grew big as she covered her mouth with her hand. "His kids don't even know what is going on. I don't think they know the divorce was finalized yet..." she said quietly.

"Well, let's get moving." Casey and Olivia walked into the elevator and left the precinct, making their way to the hospital, hoping to beat Kathy there.


Sorry for a short chapter. Next one will be longer.
