Now I know you all LOVE my cliffhangers, so I am going to make this really EO filled. Well, that and the fact that this is the last chapter and I was going to originally…review! Can't say I own anything, except my mind, which as Munch would say, the government probably owns.
Elliot took off his coat and wrapped it around Olivia, horrified at all the blood and scratches that covered her olive skin. Fin, Munch, and the backup officers had run after Johnson, and Cragen was back trying to direct the ambulance up to the cabin.
"Liv, please! I came too damn far to lose you again." Elliot whispered as he brushed the stray strands of caramel hair away from her perfect face. Elliot tightened his grip on her and sat back against a tree, cradling Olivia in his arms. When her eyes fluttered open, his heart skipped a beat.
He watched as panic flashed through her eyes, as it was replaced with something he had only seen in the eyes of torture victims, trauma. He placed a feathery kiss to her hair line, one of the few places on her body that wasn't covered in blood. She stared into his eyes, and he didn't need to say it right this second, she understood that he was sorry. Tears poured out of her eyes and she buried her face in his shirt and sobbed. Elliot had never felt as horrible in his life as he held Olivia's shaking body. She had been violated, abused, attacked, and probably humiliated. Right now all she needed was to be held by someone she trusted. One of the five people she trusted with her life.
Elliot didn't realize how long it had been until EMT's swarmed him and scooped Olivia out of his arms and onto a stretcher, where they layered blankets over her and placed an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth.
"Sir!" Elliot looked up into the impatient face of the paramedic who was shouting his name, probably for the third or fourth time. "Sir, I asked if you were coming with us."
"Yes! Of-of course." Elliot stammered as he hopped into the ambulance and grasped at Olivia's hand.

"Hey you sick bastard." Fin spat at Patrick Johnson before shooting him in the thigh.
"He resisted arrest, right Munch?" Fin turned to his partner, he nodded in agreement.
"Get up." Munch ordered as he yanked the man to his feet.
"Man, it hurts! Just call an ambulance or something for me, please!" Patrick begged as he was dragged along.
"Not a chance in hell, buddy."

Elliot sat in the chair by the hospital and watched Olivia sleep. She looked a lot more peaceful sleeping than she did hysterically sobbing in his arms.
"How is she?" a quiet voice asked from the darkness behind Elliot.
"The doctors gave her a sedative, so she should sleep through the night." Elliot stood and faced Cragen.
"Rape kit?" Cragen asked hesitantly, fearing the answers.
"Um, yeah they did one." Elliot stared at Olivia lying in the bed, "Positive for fluids. There were also signs of severe internal damage, but it should heal over time. The bastard brutally raped her more than once! He also cut her up with a hunting knife, a Bowie. It was found with Johnson. He assaulted her with his fists too."
Cragen touched Elliot's shoulder; words weren't needed, before leaving his two best detectives alone.

Olivia remembered the rapes and attacks so vividly; it felt as though they were still happening. When she opened her eyes however, Elliot had her tucked into his arms. She started to silently cry as she gripped his shirt with her weakly clenched fists.
"I'm so sorry, Liv." Elliot murmured against her forehead.
"El, he, he-" Olivia started.
"Don't tell me now Liv. Wait a little bit until you're stronger. I don't think either of us could handle that right now." Elliot begged to her.
"El, I was going to say he tried to use you against me."
Elliot felt like he had been punched in the gut. He knew he had been an ass to her after the whole Gitano thing, but he didn't need this.
"Elliot. I know you thought it was my fault,"
"No, Liv. I was pissed at myself and I blamed you since you were the only other person who was there. I screwed up."
Olivia continued crying as she hid her face deeper into his neck, "Elliot, I, I love you."
Elliot fought back tears of his own as he slipped into the bed with her to comfort her, "I love you too, Liv."
Just so we're clear, he did NOT have sex with a woman who was just brutally raped. Just so you know! Review!
