Chapter 3
Half Hour later…
"Detective Stabler?" The young doctor asked as he approached Elliot.
"Yeah, that's me" he replied.
"We stabilized her, from the looks of things she has not been eating for about 2-3 weeks. The only thing that we found in her blood was residual alcohol and small traces of aspirin. That seems to have been what her diet consisted of. We did the rape kit you asked for and it came back positive with the semen of a Jacob Rhymes."
Elliot cringed at the sound of his name. He then asked "Is she pregnant?"
"No that test came back negative." He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I see her?"
"Sure she is on the fifth floor room 18."
"Thanks doc, really appreciate it."
"No problem," he said and walked away.
Elliot walked in the opposite direction towards the elevator and up to Olivia's room. He walked in and saw her hooked up to a few machines, he thanked God she was breathing on her own. He took the seat next to her bed and held her hand in his own, and said, "Liv, you have to wake and tell me what happened, you can't leave m-- I mean us we still need you."
As if on cue she opened her eyes and looked into Elliot's eyes and asked, "Why did you save me? Why didn't leave me to die?"
"Because I care about you, Liv."
She turned her head and let a few tears fall from her eyes,
"You don't care about me any more Elliot! If you did you would have given me a chance to explain what had happened and none of you did."
More tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm sorry Olivia I never meant to hurt you."
"But you did El, you did."
Just then Cragen, Munch, Finn and Alex came into the room.
Olivia asked, "Why are you here?"
Munch took the liberty of answering her question. "Because we care about you, Olivia."
"What is with everyone and this sudden caring bullshit?! If any of you actually gave a damn about me, you would have given me the chance to explain my side of the story before giving me the silent treatment!!" Her blood pressure machine began beeping incessantly. The numbers climbed rapidly. A nurse rushed into the room to calm her down and set the machine back to its normal rate. The nurse left giving them a warning not to upset her again.
Cragen went up to her bed side and apologized for the squad and left her and Elliot alone to finish their conversation.
