We've already seen what Kathy's leaving has done to Elliot, but what if he reallyhurt himself, put his job in grave danger, and hurt one person above everyone else...

Please read and review to tell me what you think!

Thanks and Enjoy!


Kathy was gone ... she took the kids ... the only place he feels comfortable at all is at work.

Now his shield is in jeopardy.

All because a rape victim, who constantly changes her story, has accused him of harassment.

"Elliot, would talk to me!"

Olivia ran after him trying to get him to clue her in to what Scarey opened her mouth about.

"Kathy left me and she took the kids, is that what you wanted to hear!" he shouted at her, frustrated and annoyed.

The partners stood in the bullpen, Liv staring at a huffing Elliot and Elliot watching his partners shocked expression.

Wordlessly, Elliot stormed out of the squadroom and out in to the night.

He abandoned his work and stalked in to the bar the squad frequented, to blow off steam or to celebrate a victory.

"I'll have... uh... whiskey straight up."

Elliot wanted to feel the sting of the liquid as is sliced down his throat. If he felt that then he could forget what crap was going on at work and at home...

But an hour and several drinks later the only thing Elliot felt was a drunken stupor.

He didn't care.

What mattered was that he had poured his problems out and swallowed them back up.

The idea didn't occur to him that his remedy would tarnish and nearly destroy everything...


Well? Come on now and gimme somethin... please
