A/N: This is one of my longest chapters. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 14

"Liv! Liv!" The very familiar voice told her that she could open the bathroom door. Doctor Rabadi helped her out of the room and soon found his patient pulled from his arms and into the arms of a man he judged to be another police officer.

"El! What the hell happened out there?" Olivia pulled her head back from him so she could look him in the eyes and she realized that there was blood on his shirt. Her attention was distracted from him however as doctors and nurses began rushing about right near them. It was then that she noticed two men down in the hallway bleeding all over the floor. The door to her hospital room had been kicked in and a third man lay nearby bleeding as well.

"I'll explain later but we have to get you out of here. CSU and IAB are going to have to get this scene all sorted out," Elliot explained. Olivia started to ask him if he was ok but before she knew what was going on; Elliot scooped her up into his arms.

"El, I can walk you know. You shouldn't be lifting me if you're hurt," she protested.

"I'm fine, it's not mine and I know you can walk," he smirked before working his way around the downed man in the doorway. When he exited the room, he was met by Fin and Rollins who had showed up at the hospital to tell Elliot what they had found out and to make sure their Sergeant was ok. They had confronted the men who were now being attended to by the doctors.

"Baby girl, you all right?" Fin asked.

"I'm fine, thanks to you guys. You waiting on IAB?" She wanted to know, ever on duty.

"Tucker headed to Noah's temporary home and we headed here. My guess is that they'll be dispatching someone else to cover the shooting," Rollins spoke up.

"Ok now you guys really need to fill me in," Olivia said, despite it being against protocol.

"Bed for you first, young lady. You're still my patient and you still have that test in the morning. A new room has been selected for you on the next floor," Doctor Rabadi interrupted them.

"Do what the doc says and we'll come see you when we get this all straightened out," Fin promised. She nodded and the doctor ushered her and Elliot to the elevator and away from the shooting victims.

"You still have a chance to back out from treating me, Doctor, considering what just happened," Olivia told him in the elevator.

"Not a chance," Rabadi shook his head. They exited the elevator on the floor above her old room and a nurse quickly approached them with a wheelchair. Elliot transferred Olivia into the chair, immediately missing the feeling of her in his arms.

"Now follow Nurse Carmen and I'll be in soon to make sure everything is set up appropriately," the doctor promised. Carmen pushed the wheelchair down to Olivia's new room. Elliot helped transfer her from the wheelchair to the bed and then Nurse Carmen got to work reconnecting the Sergeant to the necessary equipment. She smiled and then promised to send Doctors Patrick and Rabadi in as soon as she could. Olivia thanked her and then turned her attention to Elliot as the nurse left the room.

"So as for what happened downstairs, I only know part of it, so Fin and Rollins will need to fill you in on the rest," he started.

"Well tell me what you do know," Olivia pressed.

"Fin sent me a text, saying that we needed to meet at your room immediately. He refused to tell me why so I left Maureen's apartment and headed to the hospital," Elliot said.

"How is Maureen?" His girlfriend asked.

"A little shook up but she doesn't seem to remember much, which the doctors think is from the heavy tranquilizers that the kidnapper used on her. The doctors said she could go home so I had taken her there. Kathy is with her now," he told her. Olivia nodded and he continued.

"I had just come toward your room when I saw Fin and Rollins pointing their weapons at the two officers outside your door. Fin ordered them to put their hands in the air and step away from your door. Officer Whitney looked confused but started to oblige. That's when Officer Michaels went for his weapon instead. I pulled my weapon as did Fin and Rollins. Michaels grabbed his and then grabbed his partner. He threatened us with harming Whitney if we didn't back down. I holstered my weapon and told him to let his partner go. He refused so Whitney stomped on his foot and tried to get the gun away from him. What we didn't know was that someone called hospital security. One of their men had rushed up to the scene from the other direction. Michaels got the upper hand on Whitney and fired at the guard who got hit in the stomach. Fin shouted at Michaels to drop his weapon but he was still struggling with Whitney. They bashed into your door, knocking it down and that's when we heard the other shot. Michaels exited your doorway and Fin and Rollins shot him," Elliot explained.

"Why would Officer Michaels refuse to do as Fin asked? Where did you get the blood on your shirt from?" Olivia wanted to know.

"I can't answer the first one. The second one is easy…" the detective didn't get to finish as Nurse Carmen came back in the room.

"Ok, Olivia need this fresh gown and here is a clean shirt for friend," she smiled and handed Elliot the shirt.

"Thank you," he smiled and then went into the bathroom to pull off his shirt and clean up a little. The nurse helped Olivia out of the messy gown and into the fresh one.

"How are the victims downstairs?" She asked the nurse.

"I don't know and unfortunately even if I did I can't discuss it," Carmen gave a slight smile, sticking to the rules and regulations set down as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of nineteen ninety-six.

"I understand. I'm just worried about my fellow officers," Olivia smiled back.

"I can certainly understand that. Doctor Patrick and Doctor Rabadi will be in in a few minutes and hospital security is handling guarding your door until the NYPD can resume their duties," Carmen explained.

"Thanks," Olivia nodded. The nurse nodded back and then headed for the door when she heard someone knocking.

"Good evening ma'am. Is Sergeant Benson available to talk to?" One of the men asked. The Caucasian man was taller than his Latino partner by about a foot and wore a well-tailored brown suit. The shorter man was also wearing a well-tailored suit but he was more muscular than his partner.

"She is but only for a few minutes," Carmen instructed before letting them into the room.

"Sergeant Benson, I'm Lieutenant Greevy and this is Sergeant Sanchez. We're from IAB," he announced.

"I kind of figured but I can't help you with what happened downstairs," she said.

"We know. Although we understand that Detective Stabler is up here," Sanchez smiled slightly.

"I'm right here. I'm guessing you want my shirt since it's covered in Whitney's blood. How is he?" Stabler asked.

"They rushed him to surgery. We won't know for a while. The hospital security guard was also rushed to surgery but we're afraid that Officer Michaels is dead," Greevy explained.

"This puts Detective Rollins and Sergeant Tutuola on administrative leave until we figured out what happened. We need to talk to you as well," Sanchez told them.

"All right. Let's get it over with," Elliot nodded.
