The entire scene happened in seconds…precious seconds that Casey had wasted. She finally overcame her shock. She whipped out her cell phone and dialed 911, trying desperately to keep her voice calm as she spoke. No such luck. Her voice rose in hysterias as she rushed to Alex's side while Fin ran to Munch's. She was speaking in such a shrill voice, the operator couldn't understand her. Casey burst into tears from frustration and shock. Fin took the phone from her and gave the dispatcher detailed instructions of who was down and the location. Fin gave Casey's hand a squeeze to calm her. Casey took a deep breath and knelt down beside Alex. She took off her jacket and pressed it to Alex's wound. "She's not breathing." She cried with tears streaming down her cheeks. "She's not breathing." She bent over to administer CPR, but no matter how hard she tried, Alex wouldn't take a breath. She didn't give up but kept repeating the procedure.
Olivia held tight to Elliot's hand. "Hang in there baby…" she whispered as tears ran down her cheeks unchecked. "You have to hang in there. Help is on the way." She soothed, caressing his face with a gentle touch of her hand. He held on tight to her hand, but didn't open his eyes or respond. He hurt so bad. He wanted to give in so bad, but he couldn't. He had to hang on…for Olivia. He groaned softly and forced his eyes to open. "Liv…" he rasped. Olivia was weeping onto his chest and putting pressure on his wound with her jacket. "I'm here." She said kissing his forehead. "I'm right here." He held on tightly to her hand. "I love you…" he whispered. Olivia was sobbing at this point. "I love you too…"
"MUNCH!" Fin yelled at his partner. "You have got to hold still. How the hell am I going to put pressure on the wound if you keep squirming?" Munch wormed away. "I don't need any pressure. I can do it for myself and you ain't touching." He retorted. "Go help Casey. Or Olivia. I'm good!" Fin threw up his hands in frustration.

The ambulance finally arrived along with Cragen. He rushed up the steps and felt red hot anger and grief spill over him as he surveyed the scene before him: Casey frantically trying to give Alex CPR, Olivia trying desperately to keep Elliot awake, and Munch and Fin in an argument over Munch's wound. He closes his eyes and although, he was not a religious man...he prayed.

The paramedics got to Elliot first. They gently lifted him up onto a stretcher. Olivia never let go of his hand. "I'm riding with him." She said, trying hard not to let her voice break. The paramedics didn't argue. Maybe it would because of the determined look in her eyes, or the sparks of anger and pain that were radiating off her.
A second pair of paramedics reached Alex. Casey was still trying desperately to make her breathe. "Alex!" she bawled. "Damn it Alex, breathe!" The paramedics gently but firmly pried the weeping red head off of the fallen DA. They checked her pulse and shook their heads at each other. They gently draped a black tarp over her body. Alexandra Cabot was officially pronounced dead at 11: 56 am on Friday, January 10th.

Jackson was in his office when his secretary came to him with a call. "Sir, it's for you." She said uneasily. Jackson caught the nervous look. He quickly took the call. "Hello?" he said. It was Cragen. "Jackson?" he questioned, his voice muffled by static. "Yeah!" Jackson yelled into the phone to make sure he was heard. "Alex Cabot is dead." Jackson dropped the phone on the ground with a cry of anguish.

Sorry for the cliffhanger…but I promise to reveal what happens to Elliot in the next chapter.
