Chapter 12
A few days later, Declan, Carisi and Fin head to the bar and they see Nate and his friends there. They sit down at a table and the waitress comes to their table and she gets ready to order their drinks. Carisi and Fin decide to order raspberry lemonade and Declan wants to try a Pina colada.
"What can I get you guys?" the waitress asks.
"I'll have the raspberry lemonade." Fin replies.
"A raspberry lemonade." Carisi tells the waitress.
Carisi and Fin have just order raspberry lemonade. The waitress comes around to Declan so that he can order his drink. Fin and Carisi wait patiently as he places his order. Declan decides to try the Pina colada, but he has to stay away from run otherwise he will have an allergic reaction.
"And for you?" the waitress asks.
"I'll have the Pina colada. Make mine non-alcoholic. I'm allergic to rum." Declan replies.
"Non-alcoholic. Certainly, sir." The waitress responds.
As they wait for the drinks, Declan tells Carisi and Fin about his upcoming wedding to Amanda. They suggest throwing him a bachelor party and it'll be all guys. They talk about going to a club and listen to party music. Declan says that he wants to invite all of his male friends and families. A few minutes later, the drinks have arrived and the guys drink them.
"How's Amanda been since she had alcohol poisoning?" Fin asks.
"She's good. We needed that time together." Declan replies.
The guys have some of their drinks and then they hear music playing. Carisi suggests that they listen and dance to the music so that they can get ideas for the reception. Declan takes out his EpiPen and he leaves it by his drink. They get up from the table and they sing and dance to the songs. Nate and his friends get the rum and they start to walk to the table that Declan, Fin and Carisi were seated at. The waitress that took the men's drinks videotapes Nate and his friends as Nate puts the rum in Declan's drink and he and his friends start laughing. The waitress is shocked so she saves the video. Nate and his friends leave the table and they take Declan's EpiPen with them and Declan, Carisi and Fin return to the table and Declan unknowingly drinks the Pina Colada and he gasps for air.
"Hey, Murphy." Carisi says.
Declan starts having trouble breathing and he doesn't know what to tell Carisi and Fin. They wonder what to think or say to Declan as his breathing is almost stopping. Nate and his friends leave before Declan starts to have a bad reaction.
"Hey, you okay?" Carisi asks, concerned.
"I-I can't breathe. Something's not right." Declan mumbles.
"Okay. We got you." Carisi says.
Declan keeps gasping for air as Fin and Carisi try to help him but he breathing keeps slowing down. They lead him out of the bar and they try to go outside. Declan can't make it outside so he leans on to Fin and Carisi and they try to get him outside/
"We have to get him to the hospital." Carisi says.
"Murphy, do you have your EpiPen?" Fin asks.
"No, can't breathe." Declan mumbles.
Fin and Carisi worry about Declan as they worry about his EpiPen too. Declan suddenly feels lightheaded and he stops breathing. He passes out outside of the bar right in front of Carisi, Fin, the customers and the employees. The customers and employees gasp as Declan passes out. They start to worry about him and they reach for a walkie talkie and a cell phone.
"Hey, Murphy?" Fin asks, concerned.
"We need an ambulance! Call 911!" Carisi yells.
Fin takes out his cell phone and he and Carisi call 911. The operator picks up the phone and she asks what's their emergency. They tell her that Declan might have been drugged and that he passed out. They tell her that he started gasping for air and that he was having trouble breathing and they think that Declan might have an allergic reaction to whatever he drank or ate. Carisi said that it was a drink and someone put rum in it which Declan is allergic to. Fin says that he was feeling lightheaded as soon as they got outside and then he passed out. She tells them that an ambulance is on their way right now. They say that Declan had his EpiPen out with him but when he started having trouble breathing, it wasn't at the table where he left his drink. A minute later, the ambulance and paramedics come inside of the bar to help Fin and Carisi with Declan.
"Please help our friend!" Fin yells.
"Calm down, Detective. We'll take care of your friend." The paramedic says.
The paramedics work on Declan and Fin and Carisi know that they should call SVU, Amanda and his family. One of the paramedics goes outside and he brings a stretcher as Declan is being worked on. They put Declan on a stretcher and they put him in the ambulance. He's wearing an oxygen mask as he's being put in the ambulance. Fin picks up the phone and she calls Olivia who is out with Tucker.
"Benson." Olivia says.
"Liv, call everyone from SVU. Murphy's being rushed to the hospital. He has an allergic reaction." Fin says in fear.
"Fin, slow down. We'll be right there." Olivia says.
Olivia gets off the phone with Fin and she gets ready to leave for the hospital. Tucker helps her with her coat and she calls Lucy to ask if she can stay with Noah for a few more hours and she agrees. Tucker gets his coat on and wonders what's going on.
"That was Fin. Declan Murphy's in the hospital for an allergic reaction. We have to leave now." Olivia says.
"Call the squad, Rollins and his family. I'll drive." Tucker replies.
Tucker and Olivia leave the bar and they rush to the hospital to be with Declan. She calls the squad and Declan's family to let them know that Declan is in the hospital. A few minutes later, they arrive at the hospital and they see that the SVU team is there and they wait for Amanda to come and Declan's family too. Chief Dodds arrives at the hospital and he asks Olivia to call Amanda to tell her that Declan was rushed to the hospital.
