Olivia lay stiff on the uncomfortable hospital bed. Bandages covered every inch of her, but nothing compared to the pain that pulsed through the tightly wound gauze wrapped around her abdomen. Machines beeped all around her. It was the one thing that reminded her that she was still alive. She had done it. She had escaped. But what about Calvin? No one would tell her a damn thing. Tears stung her scraped cheeks as she continued to fight off sleep. Sleep was no good. Only nightmares came from sleep.

What was wrong with her? She knew how dangerous it was to go after Calvin alone. She's not that stupid. After being a cop for over a decade she knew better. Didn't she? She let her emotions completely cloud her judgement. Would she do it again? In a heart beat. That brown eyed boy was, is her world. The thought of what those monsters did to him made her heart hurt. Olivia wished she could see him, just for a second. Hug him. Let him know everything was going to be okay. But was everything going to be okay? She didn't even know if Calvin was alive.

Outside the sky was black, suffocating, like a wet blanket. With each passing moment Olivia felt herself start to become more and more insane. Carl's voice echoed in her head, bouncing off every corner of her being. The tears came more frantically now, sobs now escaped her mouth. Had she made things worse going after Calvin without a plan? What had she done?

In the corner of her hospital room a shadow stretched quickly across the dark room. Olivia's heart beat began to race.

"Who...Who's there? Show yourself!" Olivia's voice cracked with fear. Carl's face materialized in front of her face. He was coming for her. He coming to finish what he started.

Light, almost angelic, footsteps made their way to the edge of the bed. In front of her stood a sad eyed little boy. His gaze never left the floor.

"Olivia...they said I couldn't see you..." Calvin's voice was almost inaudible. Olivia didn't know what to say. All the fear, all the panic she had felt just seconds earlier had vanished and she felt her body crumble.

"Oh God, Calvin!" Olivia threw herself at the young boy, ignoring the seering pain as she embraced him.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry..." Olivia whispered over and over into Calvin's ear as they continued to hug as though they would never let each other go.

"Oh thank God!" Elliot's voice boomed from the other side of the room.

"He just took off! Calvin you can't just..." Elliot stopped mid-sentence after stopping to look at Olivia. Before this moment, Elliot could only remember Olivia as a limp body piled on top of a puddle of crimson blood. Now her eyes twinkled with a life he had never seen from her before.

Olivia sat on the edge of her hospital bed and made room for Calvin and Elliot to sit on either side of her. All three quickly joined hands and smiled at each other.

"You know, I have some pretty awesome men in my life." Olivia beamed as she kissed each of them on the cheek.

"Not as awesome as you though!" Calvin laughed and rested his head on her shoulder. Elliot felt his cool blue eyes begin to fill up with tears of his own as he rubbed the top of Calvin's head.

"Liv, just promise me to involve me in your crazy, master schemes from now on, okay? I'm getting old," Calvin snickered, "You're going to cause me to have a heart attack way before my time! Please promise me." Elliot smiled. Olivia shifted closer to her partner and looked up into his eyes.

"Promise."
