Sorry for the crazy long wait on this story as far as the wait my muse wasn't cooperating. luckily the return of Alex inspired me to comeback without any further ado let's get back to our adventure.

Chapter5 Enter Rocky Road

Alex woke up the following day after finding Olivia had been attacked between tearing SVU a new one and stopping Casey from ripping the medical staff apart at the hospital once she found out Amanda's condition.

The duo had slept at Alex's loft for the night figuring they'd wait a bit before starting the search for the attackers.

Alex rolled out of bed knowing that for sure Casey was already up so she showered dressed and headed into the kitchen where she found Casey sipping on coffee.

"Hey Casey you okay?"

"Yeah as okay as I can be with Amanda in the hospital."

"I know you want to go GI Jane on everyone right now and as much as I share your sentiment this has to be done by the book."

"I know Alex but you heard the doctors it'll be a while before either of them is up chasing down perps again and you know as well as anyone if we want to actually catch whoever is responsible for putting both Liv and Amanda in the hospital we have to move on this now."

"I know that's part of the reason I assembled a taskforce to work this case we run point we have SVU's full support plus any other resources we need."

"Good what do you say we head down to the one-six and get started."

"Already ahead of you I called Fin he has a squad already doing canvas of the lounge."

"Good let's go I don't want any Tom Dick or Harry screwing up this case."

Within forty-five minutes both Alex and Casey were in the one-six squad-room ready to get to work on Olivia and Amanda's case.

For their part all of SVU was waiting to see how the two attorneys wanted to proceed.

Alright effective immediately this case is top of the food chain any warrants witness statements etcetera go through either myself or Casey no one makes a move without letting either one of us know first." Alex stated firmly getting a nod from her SVU colleagues.

"Fin you're the senior detective you're running point in the field."

"Got it Alex by the way I should let you know one of the uniforms on this case is an old friend."

Just as Fin said that both Alex and Casey were stunned to see none other than Kathleen Stabler walk into the squad room.

"Hey Fin you called?"

"Yeah Kathleen that special assignment you got pulled for was this case I believe you know Alex and Casey".

"Yeah I remember them both."

Both Alex and Casey were stunned to see the daughter of Olivia's former partner in full NYPD uniform ironically helping out on this particular case.

It was at this moment Alex broke up Fin and Kathleen.

Alright enough with the memory lane trip Fin I want you to take Rollins and Stabler down by the original canvas site make sure every possible witness was interviewed and all security tapes are with us I want every second of that night accounted for."

"You got it Alex."

With that Fin led Kathleen and Amanda out to the lounge.

"Burgess Lindsey you two get any all reports already done by CSU go over them anything sticks out see us ASAP".

"Of course, Alex."

"Carisi until we get those CSU reports I want you with us."

"Of course, Alex."

"Casey lets head to the hospital and check on Liv and Amanda."

With that Casey Alex and Carisi were in-route to the hospital.

Meanwhile over at the hospital both Liv and Amanda were growing tiered of being fussed over by doctors who came in almost hourly to check on both women.

A neurologist had just left the room after conducting IMPACT testing on both officers when Amanda noticed her boss was about ready to snap.

"Liv you okay there you almost tore the doc a new one and we've been here less than a day."

"I'm fine Amanda I don't need doctors asking the same questions over and over again I can take care of myself".

"I understand Liv but from what I've been able to put together whoever attacked us really did a number on us."

"That's even more of a reason we need to get out of here whoever hit us could strike again."

"Liv have you seen yourself there's no way in hell they let us out of here and to be honest part of me could use the time to recover my head feels like a pinball machine."

"I won't deny my head feels like pinball machine but I'd rather find the perps myself than leaving it to some random who may screw the entire case up."

Just as Liv and Amanda were going to focus on the TV again Alex Casey and Carisi walked into the room both Alex and Casey were both relieved to see Amanda and Olivia lucid.

"Hey Alex Casey fancy seeing you here come to spring us?"

"Very funny Liv both you and Amanda are staying here until you get the all clear from the doctor I'll be dammed if you two walks out of here AMA."

"Alex you have to be joking we've both spoken to the doctors it'll take more than a rib injury and concussion to put either one of us down besides if you haven't noticed there are two perps loose in this city I need to catch."

It was at this point Alex put her foot down with Olivia.

"Olivia Margret Benson you have serve facial gashes rib injuries and a severe concussion I'll be dammed if you're released and something happens to you and don't look to Casey for help on this she's going to tell both of you the same thing."

Having seen Olivia get shut down Amanda decided to try her luck.

Amanda made sure to bat her eyes at Casey.

"Hey Casey I know you could use your powers of persuasion to sweet talk the doctors into letting us go now." Amanda said batting her eyes at Casey.

"Save it Rollins the only way you two get out of here is a doctors' say so and don't worry about finding the SOB's who did this we have it taken care of."

Just as Casey said that Carisi heard his phone vibrate he down at the text from Kim.

"Alex Casey that was Fin we may have a hit on the security tapes from last night."

"Fine Carisi I'll go back with you and check it out." Casey answered.

"Casey you find anything call me before you make a move."

"Will do Teflon keep those two safe."

"Always Casey now go."

Once Casey left Alex decided to see how both Amanda and Olivia were doing.

"So how are you both doing honestly?"

"Alex we're fine we just want to get out of here and find the perps."

"I know Liv trust me but right now this is your best bet let Casey and I handle this.

"Alex, we can't just lay here while some sickos are going around assaulting people."

Alex's heart broke to see Olivia feel so helpless but she knew it was for the best.

"Liv if you want to help do you remember anything about who attacked you?"

"No after-all they got us from behind I just want to get back to my life I can't let whoever did this take control of my life." just as Olivia said that her monitor sped up as she began shaking.

Alex ran to get a doctor.

As doctors rushed in Alex was frantic trying to get answers.

"What's happening to her do something!" Alex yelled.

Ms. Cabot we're going to need you to wait outside a nurse who was assisting said.

"I'm not leaving."

"Please Ms. Cabot I'll get you as soon as we stabilize her".

Just as the doctors were working on Olivia Amanda began to shake.

The doctors now had both officers in shock.

Alex watched from outside as doctors rushed to stabilize the duo.

After fifteen minutes both were stable and sedated.

Alex rushed over to the doctor and demanded answers.

"What the hell happen in there?"

Both their Blood pressures spiked most likely due to stress they should be fine in a few hours but we will keep a closer eye on them this could get worse."

And with that Alex's heart dropped she now knew she had to the pressure up to twenty and solve this she didn't want to lose the love of her life before they even got a chance to start a life together.

Alex pulled herself together enough to call Casey and alert her to what was going on with Liv and Amanda needless to say Casey was on edge even more so now.

The crew at the one-six had managed to pull some security footage and start the search for the unidentified perps but with only jacket emblems to go on it was going to be tough to crack this case but both Alex and Casey were determined to get justice for their beloveds.

That does it for this chapter next, we'll see a setback for Olivia and Amanda as well as some sweet Casey and Alex.
