As Elliot and Cragen rode to the hospital, no one spoke a word. Cragen couldn't take the silence anymore. "You all right Elliot?" Elliot didn't really pay much attention to Cragens questions, all he could think about was the shooting.
Olivia's limp body lying on the concrete, blood escaping the wounds in her back only to form a dark maroon pool. Him pleading with her to keep her eyes open, telling her she would be all right. Paramedics pushing him out of the way to load her onto the stretcher, all of these memories would haunt him forever wether or not she died. But all he could do now was pray that she would make it through. If she lived, he would confront the memories and forget them with Liv's help, if she died he would probably turn into a drunk, coming to work intoxicated,
he wouldn't be able to work with a new partner, after almost seven years of partnership
she knew his weaknesses, strengths's, and him himself, the deepest things about him.
He knew her, her strength's, and her weaknesses, but he also knew a side of her she never showed, the pain in her eyes he saw after certain cases. Her past was no mystery to him, he knows a lot, but he is sure he doesn't know the entire story.
A car horn awoke him from his thoughts. Damn traffic blocked the whole road, it would take at least a half hour to get to the hospital.
Munch was staring blankly out of a window in the backseat, behind those dark glasses eyes filled with despair and anger. He didn't feel like driving to the hospital, thank god Fin offered to drive.
When he learned Olivia had been shot his emotions got the best of him, he cried, yeah he cried, he cried silently. "Traffic, damn!" Fin broke the silence.When the car stopped, Fin turned and looked at the backseat , his eyes fell on Casey, who was staring out of a window looking as if she was about to break down in tears again. He sighed and turned back to the road which showed no sign of clearing up.
He decided to once again break the silence, "hey John, you gonna be okay?"
He received no answer, instead he saw a lone tear fall down his face.
"Casey, you okay?" Fin asked unable to bear total silence.
"Yeah." Casey answered sniffling, she was obviously worried about Liv, they weren't very close but they understood each other like sisters.
