Chapter 5

Olivia, Noah, and Rebecca rush back to Manhattan, Olivia drove Rebecca to her place so she could suit up. Then Olivia drove Rebecca to the precinct, where Chris and the others were already waiting.

"Good, you're here. We've got a problem, someone is trying to recreate the T-Virus." Chris said.

"What? How? I thought all the data on the virus was lost when the mansion exploded?" Rebecca asked.

"Apparently not." Jill chimed in.

"Who are we looking for?"

"A Chase Hopkins, he was a Lab Tech on the Research Team," Ada says as she cleaned her P8 handgun.

"Whose on point?" Claire asks.

"Rebecca." Chris answers.

"Me? I-I'm the Medic, I can't-." she stammers until a firm hand lands on her right shoulder.

"Yes, you can and will," growled Chris.

The team arrived at the house, Rebecca takes point and walks up to the front door.

"Chase Hopkins, STARS, we have a search warrant," Rebecca said in a booming voice.

For a long moment an eerie silence washes over the team, then suddenly there is a thunderous explosion and the front door is disintegrated and Rebecca was launched backward off the porch into the front yard.

"Rebecca!" Jill screamed as Chris came running over to the wounded Medic with the first aid kit. Claire and Jill moved the severely injured Rebecca inside the APC.

Chris and Ada work to stabilize Rebecca while Jill goes outside and violently subdues Hopkins, nearly strangling him in the process of taking him down.

Rebecca is rushed to the nearest Medical Center and immediately taken to Surgery.

Jill stared daggers at Chris, this is in fact his fault.

"What were you thinking putting Rebecca on Point, she said that she wasn't comfortable with that being that she was the Medic, but you had to push it didn't you, Chris?"

"If she dies, I'll never forgive you, Chris." Claire hisses at her brother.

Chris says nothing as Sheva and Ada walk up to the group.

"How's Rebecca doing?" Jill asks.

"Rebecca is...in a medically induced coma. She has pressure on her brain from the impact of her fall when she got shot. It is swelling." Sheva says grimly.

Later...

Jill, Ada, and Sheva walk into the SVU squad room, they see Olivia sitting in her office behind her desk.

"I will tell Olivia about Rebecca," Sheva says calmly as Amanda and Fin come up to the trio.

"Do you ladies need something?" Fin asks.

"I have something to speak with your Captain about," Sheva says.

"What is this regarding?" Amanda chimed in.

"It's of a personal nature." Sheva answers.

"Go ahead and go in and see her." Fin said,

Tanya Cleo Cox, an associate of Chase's called their Project Manager, Tom Maury, and informed him of Chase's arrest and the subsequent discovery of Hopkins' connection to ChemSAT in the chemicals, formulas, and other various lab equipment the S.T.A.R.S. team found in his home.

Rebecca undergoes surgery to remove the buckshot from her body, the operation lasts ten hours, meanwhile, Jill goes home, showers, and changes her clothes before returning to the hospital.

Susan Chen, Chief of Surgery was waiting for Jill when she entered the waiting room.

"Good morning Detective Valentine," Susan says in greeting.

"Morning Doctor Chen, how's Rebecca doing?"

"Splendidly well, she made it through surgery just fine and she is now resting comfortably," Susan said reassuringly.

"Can I see her?" Jill inquires.

"Of course Detective. Follow me please," Susan said.

Jill felt her chest tighten with apprehension as she and Susan made their way to Rebecca's room.

"Is she awake yet?"

"Yes, just don't rile her up too much."

"Okay," Jill says in understanding.

"I'm going on my rounds now, if Ms. Chsmbers needs anything page the Nurse's Station," Susan says.

"I will, and thank you, Doctor Chen," Jill says before Susan leaves the room.

"Liv, these ladies say that they have something personal to talk to you about," Fin says, before stepping aside and allowing Sheva and Ada entry into his Commanding Officer's office.

"What can I do for you, ladies?" Liv asks.

"Captian Benson, we work with Rebecca Chambers, she is also a cherished friend of ours and we knew that she would want you to-."

"Has something happened to Beccy?"

"Yes, she was shot by a suspect while we were serving a warrant," Ada explained.

"But Rebecca is a Medic, she has no business running point on a tactical operation."
