Shoot Outs Of Love
Detective Olivia Benson was at the station with her partner Eliot Stabler finishing up some paperwork. Stabler's phone rang. After about 30 seconds, he said, "Ok, we'll be there." Benson already started to get her coat. He started at his too. "6 year old girl shot. We need to get to the hospital. She's critical in the ER." They headed out the door into the car.
They rush into the hospital, showing the nurses their badges. They found the hospital room and meet Detective John Munch and his partner Fin Tutuola. " How is she? Can we see her?" Olivia asks Munch and Tutuola. "She's in recovery. We're going back to the scene to see if they found anything," Munch said. "It should be a half hour wait," Tutuola adds as they walk out the door.
About a half an hour later, the doctor announces Benson and Stabler can go in. They enter the room. It has soft blue walls with a window on the far end of the room. The little girl is hooked up to machines and she looks tired. She's a mix of Hispanic and Caucasian with brown hair. She was really cute but had a lot of pain in her brown eyes. "Who are you?" she says in a soft voice. She seemed pretty happy to have visitors. "My name's Olivia and this is my friend Stabler. We're police officers see?" They showed the girl their badges. She coughed and spoke in the same soft voice. "My name's Christina. Why are you guys here?" "Well," Olivia started. "We're here to talk to you about what happened today. Where's your mommy?" Christina coughed again. "My mommy's dead. She got hurt and Grandma says she's in a better place." Stabler joined in, "What happened to your mommy?" "Grandma says I can't tell." "Honey, tell us what happened. You can trust us. This is very important," said Olivia with a reassuring smile. "I can't." "Ok, well can you at least tell us what happened today?" Christina smiled. "Well, this morning I went to school and got a 98 on my spelling test. Then, Grandma picked me up. We were walking into my home and that's when I got hurt." "Did you see where it came from? Think really hard." "I couldn't see. But it felt like the left side." "Thank you honey. We'll see you again when you're feeling better." Christina smiled and nodded.
They walked out of the room, down the stairs and to the lobby. "Why is it always the good ones?" Eliot said a loud.
