Special Victims Unit
Elliot had held Olivia in his arms before. Dancing at last years Christmas party, New Years, a quick hug after an unusually bad case, this morning. And while he had felt different things each time there had always been one constant. He'd always felt her heart beating through her chest, her breath on his neck or in his ear. At this moment he felt neither of those things and it hit him like nothing ever had before. She was dead.
His mind screamed NO! He laid he down on the floor his eyes searching her face for a sign that he was wrong. Her lips were blue/Grey instead of their usual shade of red. It was her eyes however that made his heart shatter. They were open looking at him, wet with tears, but there was no life in them she was gone. A horrible sound broke from his chest. He began shouting her name in the vain hope that she was just sleeping and would just wake up, but it wasn't working. He hadn't noticed all the activity that had been going on around him all he was able to see was Olivia. Dead. Oh God, she's dead. He thought he heard someone scream. He felt a hand grip his shoulder and pull him away. Cragen's face came into his vision. He wore a concerned expression. "Elliot! Stop! The EMT's are here. Elliot!" Cragen was shaking him trying to calm him down. It was then that he realized that the voice he had heard screaming for Olivia had been his. He tried to get back to Olivia's side, but Cragen and Munch held him beck so the EMT's could work on her. They tried to comfort him while others looked on in horror. Kathy Stabler was standing in the doorway of the Captain's office watching everything unfold. She finally couldn't take anymore and closed the door on the chaos. She put her hands over her ears trying to shut out her husband's screams for his partner, for Olivia. Kathy felt her heart breaking, but it wasn't for Olivia it was for herself. She knew that despite Cragen's attempts to convince her otherwise her marriage was over.
Kathy stepped out of the office a few minutes later. She watched her husband and his friend's leave with Olivia heading for the hospital. No one was left that she recognized. A few people looked at her and she began to feel out of place like an intruder. An officer standing behind her cleared his throat to get her attention. "Excuse me. Mrs. Stabler." "Yes." "Captain Cragen asked me to drive you to the hospital to be with your husband." She blinked. Well Cragen remembered her even if Elliot hadn't. She doubted that he had even seen her standing there. "Ma'am?" "Thank you. I appreciate Cragen thinking of me. My husband didn't even notice I was here. She said bitterly. But I guess he was a little distracted. She smiled sheepishly trying to make up for her last comment. He smiled sweetly at her. "I think it's a crime not notice a beautiful woman like you." He leaned in close to her. "I could arrest him." "What could you charge him with?" She asked jokingly. "Oh, how about dereliction of husbandry duties for a start." Kathy laughed at this. If he only knew how true it was. Elliot hadn't touched her in months. She found herself looking closer at the man she was talking to. Not that bad. Wait did she just check this guy out, was she flirting. He certainly was. It felt good; no harm ever came from flirting. "How much time could he get for committing adultery in his heart." She choked a little on her words she may have thought he was having an affair but this was the first time she really believed her own words. He smiled at her and offered his arm in order to walk her to the car. "Well if memory serves, I believe he promised to be faithful until death do you part. So I guess he will get the needle." She laughed again and gave him a flirtatious smile. Richard White smiled back. He was so pleased with the way things were going. Had he know it was going to be this easy he would've escaped a long time ago. As they walked out the main entrance he gave the video camera his best smile and winked. Knowing Elliot would see it later on. This was going to be so much fun.
