Chapter 6: Accident
A/N: This is a very short chapter. But it is however very necessary.
Olivia began driving home. Her mind could not keep off Elliot. What on earth was wrong with her? It wasn't possible for her to fall in love with her partner. It must just be the hormones. There was no way in her right mind she would have feelings for Elliot.
As she began to get closer to her apartment she was suddenly alarmed when she heard gunshots. It was a shooting. Immediately she picked up her phone and called it in. The next thing was she got out of the car to see what had happened. The two guys who had the guns had run off immediately when they saw her pull up. However, she didn't know there was a third guy.
She discovered three guys had been shot. She went to see if they had pulses. One of them had a very weak pulse the other two were dead.
Finally, the ambulance and police arrived. "Wow, Olivia, you witnessed another crime," Officer Malachi said. "So, what happened now?"
Olivia still hadn't exactly forgiven Malachi for telling Elliot that he'd seen her when she'd specifically told him not too. Okay maybe she hadn't told him not to tell Elliot. Still, he should have gotten the hint.
"I was just driving down the road and I heard gunshots. There were two perps I believe. They ran away as soon as they saw me," Olivia said.
"I see, did you notice what they looked like?" asked Malachi.
"They looked like gangsters, but I didn't get a good look at them," Olivia told him.
"I see, could you identify them if you had to?" asked Malachi.
"That's a stupid question; I just told you I didn't get a good look at them, why don't you ask the living victim when he wakes up?" Olivia snapped.
"Gee, what's wrong with you? You know I'm just doing my job, or at least you should know that," said Malachi.
"Whatever," Olivia said.
"You still haven't forgiven me for tipping off Elliot of where you were that day you took off,' said Malachi.
"Never mind, Malachi," said Olivia. "I must get back to my apartment; I'm missing my nighttime soaps." She had taken a recent liking to nighttime soaps. They used to make her sick. Now never missed one!
Just as she was walking back to her car the third perp shot her. "Olivia!" Malachi shouted. He ran over and called it straight into the ambulance. She had been shot in the leg. But it was clear that the perp had been aiming for her back and missed.
Several hours later she woke up at the hospital. Elliot was at her side.
"Hey, how do you feel?" he asked her.
"What happened?" she asked jadedly.
"You were shot," Elliot informed her.
"Huh?" she asked. Then she remembered Gabrielle. "Why aren't you with Gabrielle, why do you care about me?"
"I guess you were right about her, I was at her house when I got the news of the shooting," said Elliot.
"What do you mean by I was right?" asked Olivia.
"I mean, she is too young for me, I realized today that going over to her house and talking is almost like talking with my daughter Maureen," said Elliot.
"My point exactly," Olivia said. "Wait, how did you get in here, I thought only family was allowed?"
"Well, I'm basically the same thing as family," Elliot informed her.
"Okay, what'd you tell them to get in?" Olivia asked impatiently.
"Okay, I told them I was your husband," Elliot said.
"Elliot!" smiled Olivia.
"Sorry, but I wanted to make sure you were okay," said Elliot.
"Wait. . .," Olivia said suddenly remembering the baby, "is the baby okay?"
"Yes, the babies are fine," said Elliot.
"Oh good, wait . . . did you just say babies or am did I suffer a hearing loss?" Olivia asked him.
