RIKERS JAIL 9:30 P.M.

Elliot walked into the jail. He held up his gold shield to the desk sergeant and said, "I want to talk to Jimmy Cruz…alone."

"Hold on a sec Detective I have to get him."

Elliot stood there, all types of emotions running through him. How the hell could this bastard be so cold? He just didn't understand.

"We're ready Detective."

Elliot followed the officer into a room. When he walked in Jimmy smiled.

"I had a feeling I would be seeing you soon Detective Stabler."

Elliot just stared at him, his now deep blue eyes piercing Jimmy's mud colored eyes.

"I heard about your wife, I am so sorry."

This pissed Elliot off. "You bastard. Don't try that shit on me. You had something to do with this and don't try to lie."

Jimmy laughed. "How could I have a hand in it if I've been in this hellhole all day Detective?"

"I bet if I check the visitors log, you had a visitor this morning."

"You're pretty smart Detective but you'll only see that it was my brother-in-law just checking up on me."

"Bullshit."

"Believe what you want Detective but it's the truth." He said with a smile. "Now excuse me I am missing a very important meeting." He got up and banged on the door signaling to the guard that he was done.

Elliot sat there for a few seconds thinking, then he got up and went back to the precinct.

AT THE PRECINCT 10:45

"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked surprised to see Elliot back. She figured he would be with his children.

"Looking up Jimmy Cruz's brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law? Why?" she asked confused.

"I think he killed my wife." He said, anger in his voice, as he started typing on his computer.

"Elliot you should really go home. Look at you, your eyes are bloodshot, you need to shave, and you need to be with your children." She saidpractically begging him.

He sighed. He knew she was right but he wanted to get this son of a bitch! But he was tired as hell, so he nodded. He got up and went to his locker.

When he closed the locker, Olivia got up and gave him a hug.

"It's going to be alright Elliot I promise. I am always here for you, you know that don't you?" She said pulling back to look into his pale blue eyes. Everytime she looked into them she would get lost; they had so much depth in them. As she said this, his eyes grew misty.

He nodded. "I know."

"Now go be with your kids."

She gave him another short hug and he walked out of the room. She gave a heavy sigh and sat back down at he desk. What the hell is she going to do? She doesn't know how to handle these situations. She guessed she would have to talk to Huang about it.

As soon as Elliot got in his black Ford Explorer he broke down. He hadn't cried like that since…hell he couldn't even remember. She knew he had to be strong for his kids. They have no mother. He has no wife. He sat there for a while then started the car.

I'm so tired of beng here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just to real
There's just to much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You use to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just to real
There's just so much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
But you still have all of me

"That was My Immortal by Evanescence." The DJ on the radio announced.

Oh my God! Screw the radio. Elliot started crying again. How was he going to live without her? She was his everything! The only thing he wanted to do now was get so drunk he wouldn't be able to stand, but he knew he couldn't do that, as much as he wanted too. He sighed and started the drive home.
