Minutes turned into hours, more and more hours. Melinda, Munch and Cragen had long since left the hospital exhausted from the last few days. Casey and Fin had stayed with Olivia. Casey wanted to be there when she woke up, confused and scared, just like Olivia had once done for her. Fin was normally a rock rarely showing much emotion, but for Olivia he had a weakness, a need to protect her, like a brother protects his sister.

Four hours turned into nine. Dr. Clifton returned several times growing more concerned each time. He had already had Olivia wheeled down for another CAT scan returning with news that nothing had changed. Casey had asked if that was good or bad. Dr. Clifton said it was confusing, explaining that he was unable to say what was keeping Olivia unconscious for so long.

"But she will wake up, right?" Fin asked concern etched on his face.

"I can't be certain. We are still running tests, hopefully that will provide some answers." Dr. Clifton had answered.

Several more hours later Fin sat in a hard wooden chair on the door side of Olivia's bed his head resting against the wall, arms folded across his chest, snoring every time he breathed in. Casey lay on the couch underneath the window on the opposite side of Olivia's bed as Fin. Casey shivered causing her to wake. She thought it must have been a blast of cold air from the AC so she sat up looking around for a blanket. As her eyes swept the room they passed over Olivia's sleeping form, only she wasn't sleeping. Her uninjured hand was slowly moving towards her mouth. Casey moved quickly to the bedside. Olivia's eyes were wide open emanating fear and confusion.

"Olivia its Casey. Everything is ok, I will explain but first I need you to put your hand down." Casey said speaking sternly but comfortingly. Olivia moved her hand off her chest holding it up for Casey to hold. She took it willingly using her other hand to wipe away the tears now falling from Olivia's eyes.

"You scared the hell out of us. You had an allergic reaction to some drug they gave you which caused a seizure; we were here to visit you when it happened." Casey explained. Olivia's eyes continued to produce tears while she squeezed Casey's hand tighter. "One of the medicines' they gave you stopped you from breathing on your own, so they put a tube down your throat and hooked you up to a machine to breathe for you." Casey said in hopes of calming Olivia down, unfortunately it had the reverse effect and she cried harder and squeezed harder.

"Olivia try and stay calm. I called the nurse and doctor they will be here in a minute, just try and calm down." Casey pleaded. "Fin. Fin wake up!" Casey called. He continued to snore unaware of her calls. "FIN!" Dr. Clifton and Hannah came sweeping into the room; Fin continued to sleep. Dr. Clifton reached the bed, pulled on gloves then started tweaking the ventilator that sat next to him.

"Ok Olivia that tube is coming out. What I need you to do; when I tell you, is to take the deepest breath in you can then blow it out as I pull the tube out. Understand?" Olivia nodded. Dr. Clifton tweaked a few more buttons while Hannah removed the collar holding the tube in place. "Ok ready? Deep breath in."

Within a few short minutes the tube was out, Olivia coughed before taking several deep breaths on her own. Hannah placed a clear tube under Olivia's nose then secured it by wrapping the tubing behind her ears.

"That is some oxygen, just till your system adjusts." She explained. Olivia nodded her head in understanding. She tried to lick her lips only to find her tongue completely dry and useless; this discovery led to several more discoveries like her inability to swallow due to her not having any saliva in her mouth then when she tried to take a deep breath her throat seared being equally as dry.

"Water." She managed in a small croaky whisper.

"Don't try and talk. That tube against your vocal cords caused irritation so give them some time to heal." Dr. Clifton said. "No water yet, ice chips are acceptable for now." Olivia understood but groaned at this information. She had so many questions she wanted answered. Hannah arrived with a bucket of ice chips which Olivia immediately started eating savoring the cold melting liquid on her lips, tongue and throat.

"Better?" Casey asked. Olivia nodded with a slight smile. "I know you have a lot of questions. Give it some time, rest and I promise I will be right here when you wake up to answer every question running through your mind right now." Olivia could not help but feel some relief hearing those words. Was it what she wanted? No, but the weight of her eyelids and the feeling of total exhaustion coursing through her body won out. She closed her eyes and was asleep within minutes. Casey waited until she was certain Olivia was truly out before settling back into the couch. It was then that she remembered Fin was still in the room. She looked over to where he still sat, head against the wall, arms cross his chest sill sound asleep. Casey shook her head in disbelief; only a man could sleep through all that commotion.

Fin awoke with a start, momentarily confused by his surroundings. His back and butt were incredibly sore from the hard chair. He took a moment to organize his thoughts; the memories all flooded back. Olivia in the container, meeting her in the ER, the waiting room, Olivia seizing right in front of them, and Melinda helping Zoe. He scanned the room seeing Casey curled up on the couch under a blanket just as before. He scanned left seeing Olivia just as he last remembered, but something was different. The breathing tube and ventilator were gone. She was still in the bed sleeping peacefully. Man how long was I asleep? He looked out the small window in the room and saw the sun just starting to reflect off the neighboring building. He checked his cell phone for the time, almost nine o'clock. He rubbed his eyes wearily then stuck his hands in his pockets allowing himself to be lost in thought.

After several minutes the officer outside the room stuck his head in.

"Detective. Detective Tutulola." He said softly. Fin snapped from his thoughts.

"What?" he asked stupidly turning to the officer.

"Your captain needs you on the third floor. Some kind of disturbance." The officer answered.

"Ok." Fin acknowledged. He stood from the chair on his stiff legs making a mental note not to sleep there again. Once in the hallway Fin pressed for more detail.

"What kind of disturbance is it?"

"Don't know, Captain Cragen just radioed saying to send you to the third floor. He said you can't miss it."

"Ok. Thanks." Fin turned and left for the third floor while the officer resumed his post.

Once he reached the third floor he immediately heard the voice of Cragen and it sounded like he was struggling with someone. He quickened his pace turning a corner passing through a set of double doors.

The sight before him would be one he could never forget. His captain was on one side of the hallway struggling to control the police commissioner while Zoe was on the other side of the hallway being restrained by two nurses and a doctor sat slumped against the wall, blood dripping down his face.

"YOU WANT TO JUMP IN HERE!" Cragen called seeing Fin standing there. Fin ran forward to help with the commissioner. Within minutes the commissioner was face down on the floor with his hands pinned behind his back. All three men were breathing heavily from the struggle. Seeing the commissioner subdued Zoe lost the urge to fight and relaxed against the nurse's restraint. Feeling it was safe Cragen and Fin released the commissioner allowing him to sit up. It was almost immediately evident the damage Zoe had inflicted.

"Commissioner Holbrook you need to be looked at." Cragen said. His eye was already starting to bruise, along with his right cheek, which was also cut, and bleeding.

"First I want you to arrest her for assault and battery on a police officer." The commissioner spat. Everyone froze at this comment, including Zoe.

"Sir are sure?" Cragen asked in shock. The commissioner didn't hesitate in his response.

"Yes! And if you two cant manage it I will get someone who will."

"Yes sir." Cragen said sadly. He walked towards Zoe pulling out his handcuffs as we went. She hadn't moved out of shock.

"Zoe Rhoades you are under arrest for assault and battery. You have the right to remain silent. If you choose to give up that right anything you do or say can be used against the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford one you will be appointed one." At the mention of an attorney Zoe managed to unfreeze and speak.

"I want my lawyer." She said. Cragen locked the handcuffs on her and started to escort her from the unit to the main concourse.

"Captain hold up!" Fin called coming to his senses. Cragen stopped and looked back at Fin, Zoe just stood there with her head hanging down. "Can we take her out the back? I mean she works here, no need to ruin her reputation and cost her the job just yet. Give her a chance you know." Zoe never brought her head up as she was turned around and walked in the opposite direction but she could not help but feel extremely thankful for him and his thoughtfulness. Shortly after Cragen walked away the commissioner also left the unit and Fin made his way back to Olivia's room.
