A/N: Chapter 2! Booyah!
It didn't pass, Olivia.
"Captain? You alright? Somebody call a bus!" His detective called out
"Liv…" Elliot groaned
"Hey, try not to move," Kat said as they helped him turn over.
"Liv– where's Olivia?" He asked but when he turned that's when he saw her, "Oh, god. Liv." He said he tried to sit up but the pain was unbearable
"Hey, everything gonna be fine, Stabler. The bus is on the way," Fin said as he lose consciousness again.

"I-I don't know what to say."
"Me either. I was about to offer the job to him, but sadly he passed away. And I can't think of anyone who can do this job but you" Fulton said while sipping his coffee.
"You gonna bring me back?" Fulton nodded, "You've been a helluva detective, Stabler. I read your case files and I must say, they don't do what you did for the past 20 years of your service in the department."
"Closure rate wasn't that high anymore?"
"Only SVU got the accuracy rate for the past 10 years."
"What can I say, Don Cragen knows how to nail the bastards."
"And your former partner. Who's now the commanding officer."
"She made it through." Elliot smiles.
"Are you keeping tabs on her?"
"I got an NYPD newsletter on my email. Saw she was the topnotcher in Lieutenant's Exam"
"After hell of a year she had, Man, I don't understand. How can she stay in SVU for that long?" The commissioner said
"Redemption." Elliot said, looking away. The commissioner sighed, "I already pick your detectives just in case you take the job. They're top of their classes, best of the best. I will assure they won't disappoint you."
"You gonna give me time to think?" Elliot said, as they stood up. Fulton pulled out his wallet and took some cash to pay for their meal then he patted Elliot's shoulder, "Trust me, I will. You're gonna say yes anyway."
PRESENT DAY
"Benson, can you hear me?" Kyle Beresford said as they took Olivia in the operating room. The nurse checks on her pulse, shaking her head "It's a weak pulse, trauma to her back and chest."
"Anything else?"
"She got shrapnel from the bomb." the other nurse said.
"No, black tag her." The other doctor said.
"What?"
"The percentage are low that she'll.."
"I don't give a damn about the percentages! I'm going to save her no matter what!" Kyle said as he pointed out to the nurse "All of you, scrub in."
"On it doc."
"What's happening?" Fin asked
"Captain Benson took a hit from the explosion, It doesn't seem good that the other doc wanted to black tag her." the nurse said.
"Should I tell Elliot?" Rollins asked
"I think you should." He said.
"On my count, 1…2…3! Get her on oxygen, start cutting her shirt." the doctor ordered
The nurse starts to get Olivia on oxygen while the other one starts to cut her shirt in two, uncovering the wound.
"Dr. Beresford." She and Kyle looked at each other when Olivia's stats dropped.
"It's dropping, we need to intubate now!"
"Pushing 20 milligrams of etomidate."
"Intubating."
"Come on, come on, Olivia…" Kyle whispered. "Come on…"
"She's stabilizing." the nurse said and everyone blew their breath.
"Okay…okay… let's get started. Scalpel." Kyle said as he start to work on Olivia.

"Is she going to be okay?" He said as he stared at Olivia sleeping. "Did he?"
Amanda shook her head. "No, but left some marks on her the first time."
"Fuck." Elliot said, putting his hand in his mouth. "I should be there. I should have her back."
"No one anticipated what was gonna happen…It went on…So fast." The blonde said.
"But still—"
"Hey, don't beat up yourself, She's fine now… Things will change, probably. But you gotta be thankful that she's alive."
"Sealview." Elliot blurted out.
"Huh?"
"I remember that time, Olivia entered Cragen's office asking for permission to go undercover as a woman prisoner. It was after we found out that Risa Tyler didn't kill herself. We fought the whole night about it. I did everything to stop her but still–"
"She did it?" Amanda said, Elliot nodded, "I keep praying the whole time that she will come back safe, but something happened."
"What is it?"
"One of the correction officers brought her down the basement and almost did her"
"How did you find out?"
"I figured it out," He said.
"Did you talk to her about it?" Amanda ask
"Olivia was never the one to talk about her life. So I don't. But there is one that I notice after the incident, She changed."
"She changed long before any of these happened."
PRESENT DAY
Elliot woke up looking at his surroundings. He was at the hospital, he made it.
He made it.
Olivia.
"Hey, glad you're awake." Amanda said closing the magazine she's reading. "How are you holding up?"
"Still in pain, Where's Liv? How's she doing?" He said, the blonde detective just looked at him.
"Amanda? Where's Liv?" He asked again.
"She's still in the Operating Room, One of her organs was hit by shrapnel, one doctor wanted to black tag her."
"Shit."
"Hey, She is gonna be fine. Dr. Beresford will do everything to save her." Rollins said.
"Damn, I can't see it." Kyle said. "Retractor."
"Here." one of the nurses gave him the instrument when someone entered the room.
"Dr. Stabler, glad you're here," the surgeon said without looking
"How long have you been there?" Maureen said as the medical assistants put a surgical gown on her.
"Not so much, I can't see the piece inside. Wanna take charge?"
"You have no idea," She said as she stood beside Olivia. "Hey, Liv. You're going to be fine." She said as she and Beresford looked at each other then to unconscious Benson.
Kyle put the retractor in Olivia's wound and starts to rotate it, "There you are, we gotta need to push the tube deep"
"But it will gag her." The nurse said.
"Just do what Dr. Beresford said."
The nurse pushed the tube deep into Olivia's throat making her gagged in the process.
"Forceps." Maureen ordered, as the nurse gave her the forceps she slowly pulled the shrapnel inside, "Pulling it out…"
"Ah, sweet." Kyle said as Maureen finally pulled it. "Alright, Let's go finish her." He said they were about to close the wound inside when her blood squirts causing her stats to drop again.
"She's crashing!"
"Get the crash cart now!" Maureen shouted as she started chest compressions to Olivia "Come on, 'Livia…Come on…"
"Crash cart is here ," Kyle said, Maureen stopped to get some epi "Pushing 10 epi, charge AED to 200."
"Charging 200, Clear?"
"All clear." Both doctors said as they put their hands up, Olivia's chest rose due the charge of the defibrillator.
When it's done, Maureen repeated the compressions, "Olivia come on…Don't do this… Dad needs you…We need you… " She said
Dad needs you.
Olivia?
I love you, too.
