Olivia drew in a
deep breath as she walked towards them. "It's time" she
told herself quitely as she stood at his desk waiting to be
acknowledged, when Cragen walked over. "Oh Olivia have you met
Detective Panther?" Cragen asked, Elliot went scarlet red as he
waited for Olivia response knowing that her answer could very much
break him.
"No I don't believe we've met. I'm Detective
Benson Elliot ex" Elliot thought that somehow today was going to
kill him from from the moment he walked in. Elliot finally began to
breathe normally when they were outside headed for the car to make it
up to the woods.
The tension was high and very thick as they drove
in silence.
Twenty minutes into the drive Nicollet spoke breaking
the deafening silence which was squeezing the life out of them all.
"Um Elliot I have to go" she said as spotted a gas station
on the left.
"Okay" was the only word he said as he
pulled over. He hadn't known that the tension in the car could be
worse but now with only Olivia it was driving him literally crazy, he
wanted to say something, he wanted her to know it was just a lie, to
say he was sorry.
"Liv."
"I don't want to hear
it" OLivia replied with such comtempt in her voice he could feel
it slicing the air. But he deserved it and he knew it.
"Thanks
Guys" Nicollet said as she settled in beside Elliot. The rest of
the drive was in silence.
Elliot was in command as they came to a
halt and they got out with guns in hand.
"Liv you take front,
Nicollet you go round back and I'll go round back" Elliot said
and they slipt up.
But happened next changed everything!
Somehow stepping
in that house was like stepping back into the basement with Harris.
Fear engulfed as she checked the rooms and found nothing.
Elliot
searched the outside room and found nothing, or so he thought.
Like
the other Nicolett search turned up nothing.
Olivia and Nicolett
walked to the back of the cabin to find Elliot to report to him,
seeing Nicolett was like a sharp object being forcefully stabbed into
her heart over and over again!
"You take the left I'll take
the right Olivia instructed as they entered the outside room where
Elliot was.
"I got nothing" Elliot reported turning his back
and walking towards them. Olivia noticed a shimmer dancing on the
wall facing the door. Following the light Olivia saw him, and her the
victim but that wasn't all she saw. "Elliot get down!" Olivia
screamed and without thinking on pure impulse she ran to him.
Elliot
felt the forceful impact knock him to the ground and saw Nicolett aim
and fire!
Olivia felt the pain engulf her! Elliot knew something
hit him but he didn't know what, until he tried to move.
"Liv!
Olivia!" he screamed as the reality of the situation dawned on him.
Blood was coming out of her mouth and she was coughing.
"Liv,"
he said gently touching her.
A smile of some sort formed at her
lips and she mumbled something he couldn't understand. "I need an
ambulance!" he shouted to Nicolett who was standing over a dead man
and a terrified child.
"Liv honey stay with me" Elliot begged
as he cradled her into his arm his environment disappearing the only
thing and person he saw was her. "Liv why did you do that?" he
demanded when she opened her eyes.
"I'm sorry" she managed
and her heavy eyelids closed turning everything black!
"Liv!
Olivia stay with me!" Elliot screamed when she didn't respond and
he looked up to see Nicolott looking at her with teary eyes.
"The
ambulance will be here in fifteen minutes" she informed
"Fifteen
Minutes! She can't wait fifteen minutes!" He screamed scoping up
the lifeless body into his hands.
"Elliot you aren't supposed
to move her" Nicolett said blocking his path.
"And who is
going to stop me?" he asked looking into Olivia face he watched her
chest heave then she opened her eyes one last time and said
"EL"
"Move!" yelled at Nicolett and with out another word she
cleared the pathway.
Elliot couldn't remember the last time he
drove this fast! And finally he saw the ambulance and signaled them
to stop.
"What do we have?" A man asked him as they layed
Olivia on the small bed in the ambulance.
"She was shot" was
all Elliot could say, he didn't know where he didn't know
anything except Olivia wasn't moving his heart was beating so fast
he could barely hear what was going on around him. He didn't know
when they got to the hospital all he knew was that he was following
the men who were carrying her away.
The people in a glass room
took her and tried to bar him but he kept pushing to get inside, they
where moving so fast it made him dizzy, he watched them, he heard
them.
"Stop!" A man should as they were about to
resuscitate.
What?" another yelled.
"She's DNR"
