*Author's note*
This chapter is co-authored by Oefangran. Who's helpful suggestions helped me out tremendously. And because this story looks like it might end up being 30 chapters long. I'm going to make it into a series. Hopefully I'll have chapter one of the next story up within the week. Thank-you all for your support.
The Very Thought Of You 9
1:45 A. M. St. Catherine's Hospital Olivia's Room 137
Elliot headed for the door. His kids started to follow. "No, I want you to stay here where it's safe." They knew not to argue. "Elliot." Olivia called after him. She jumped out of bed and put a hand on his arm speaking softly. "He likes to watch. Be careful." He understood exactly what she meant. White had been right there in the bullpen when Liv had been poisoned. Hiding in plain sight so he could watch the devastation he created. "You too." She still had her gun, that the captain had given back to her, in her hand. She smiled as she clicked off the safety and chambered the next bullet. It was by far the sexiest thing he had ever seen. She put the safety back in place and tucked it in the front of her scrub pants. He looked over at his children and Liv read his mind. "Nothing is going to happen to them. I promise." He gave her a quick smile and left with the nurse to see his wife. He felt better. Olivia always kept her promises.
Maureen was the first to speak after her father left. "You think White is here in the hospital don't you?" Liv didn't want to scare them but they had to know how much danger they were in so there wouldn't be any careless mistakes. "I think he very well could be." She looked at her colleagues "I also think White would love to take advantage of Elliot being distracted by Kathy's condition." "I'm already gone." Fin said as he headed out the door.
No sooner then Elliot and Fin had left then Elliot's cell phone began to ring from his overcoat that he had left slung over his chair. Olivia quickly answered it. " Benson." "Hello, Olivia." came the sickening voice of Richard White. She flashed Munch and Cragen a look and stepped out into the hall so as not to be heard by the children. "Richard, how nice of you to call." She said sweetly thought the look on her face was filled with disgust. "Did you like the flowers and the little notes I sent you?" "Oh, yes. You made my heart flutter. Speaking of hearts did you really find it necessary to cut out your mother's?""Well that was curiosity. I always wondered if see had a heart of stone. I guess she was human after all. Speaking of mothers. I was sad to hear about Serena's death. Tell me Olivia how does it feel knowing you were the reason for her little tumble down the stairs." Olivia was growing more angry by the minute and was about to hang up when she heard a scream in the background. "Who was that?" "Oh. That 's the reason for my call. You see I got to Maureen's school just in time to see Detective Munch drive away with her. And I gotta tell you I was more than just a little disappointed at missing her. I was really going to enjoy getting to know her inside and out. So since I made the trip all the way there I just couldn't leave without taking a souvenir. Namely her roommate Jenny." "You sick bastard!" She could hear the girl screaming for help. "Tell Maureen, Jenny says hi." "Let her go she has nothing to do with us." "If I did that I wouldn't have anyone to play with." Olivia 's mind raced trying to think of a way to end this nightmare. A thought suddenly struck her. "If you thought Kathy was a disappointment. Do you really think some collage girl is going to satisfy you. You can do better than that." "Do you have a prospect in mind?" " Yes, let's make a deal." "I'm listening." "First you let Jenny go. Second you leave Elliot, Kathy and especially their children out of this. I mean it No more threats or attempts I don't even want you to think about them.. Are we clear?" " I'm still waiting to hear what I get in return?" "ME." Cragen and Munch opened their mouths to protest but a look from her made them stay silent. "I've already had you and I can take you again any time I want." " 20 minutes in a dark ally with me unconscious. It can't have been that much fun. Wouldn't you rather have me as a willing participant have far more experience than that child you have now." She could hear him breathing hard and knew she almost had him. "You would have total control over me. And if you let me, Richard , Ohhh the things I could do to you." She spoke in her the most seductive voice she could muster. She heard him lick his lips. She had him. "Tell me more." He was practically drooling now. "When I get word that Jenny is ok we'll talk again." "How do I know your not just teasing me. That this isn't just a trap like last time." "I promise you that if you keep your end of the bargain I'll keep mine. It will be just you and me." With that she hung up on him. Letting out a sigh she leaned against the wall. "You got to Maureen maybe a minute ahead of White." "It sounds as though he didn't leave empty handed. "He really has my roommate Jenny?" Maureen asked as she walked toward them. They hadn't realized that she had been listening at the door way. "He's going to let her go." "In exchange for you?" Olivia nodded. "You can't he'll.." She burst into full tears at the thought of Olivia being at his mercy. Olivia wrapped her arms around Elliot's oldest daughter. "Everything is going to be ok. I promise. Look if I can get close to him I can end all this without anyone else getting hurt." She looked pleadingly at Munch and Cragen. "You can't let her. It's suicide. He'll kill her." Cragen knew Maureen was right, but he also knew Olivia. Nothing was going to stop her once she had made up her mind. He could order her not to go but she would just quit and do it anyway. He looked over at Munch to see if he had any ideas but he just shook his head sadly. "Daddy will never let you do this." Maureen said and turned to go to the ER to tell him. "Your father doesn't have any say in the matter and frankly has enough on his plate right now with what's happened to your mother. That's where his focus needs to be right now. I'll be alright I promise and I always keep my promises .I'll be back with White's head on a platter before he even notices I'm gone." Maureen wasn't buying it. Olivia sighed. "I'll go down and talk to your father. Will that make you feel better." Maureen nodded. "Munch will you look after these guys for me." "Of course." "I'll be back in a few minutes." She headed for the elevator. "Olivia." Cragen called after her. "If White calls talk to us before you go ok?" "Promise."
As the elevator doors closed the cell phone rang. "It's done. She's at Mercy Hospital." "Good. Where and when?" "Take a stroll along 5th Avenue. Once I know your alone I'll call you with more instructions. Don't disappoint me Olivia." " Give me an hour." She hung up the phone as the elevator doors opened up. She saw Fin leaning against the door frame of Kathy Stabler's room. She marveled at the way he managed to look approachable and untouchable at the same time. "How is she?" "Not good." he answered sadly. She looked through the window into the room. Kathy was hooked up to just about every machine they had. Elliot was holding her hand and had his head buried in the crook of his arm sleeping. She felt a horrible wave of guilt wash over her. This was all her fault. She stepped away from the door and turned to Fin. "I'll take watch for a while. Why don't you head upstairs and get some sleep. If your lucky you can steal my bed before the twins do." He smiled gratefully at her and headed for the elevator he waved as the doors closed. She approached the nurses desk "Do you have something I can write on?" the nurse gave her a clipboard with several sheets of paper and a pen. Olivia smiled a thank you. And sat down next to Kathy's door. She let all of the thoughts and feeling that had been building up for the last 6 years out onto the pages. When she was done she folded it up and went back to the nurses station. She addressed it , Elliot , and clipped her badge to it. "When Detective Stabler wakes up can you please see that he gets this." The nurse nodded and took the note from her. "Also the extra security measures we put in place will no longer be needed." And before she could change her mind she walked out of the hospital and into the night.
