This chapter was hard... So it switches between Points of View.

I also got rid of All I Have, All I need, it wasn't turning out well

Read and Review please, than I'll post another


Olivia's POV:

The bulky Kevlar vest didn't sit well as I sat in the car, holding onto Langan. Elliot sat on the other side of Langan, staring out the window, in full cop mode. I couldn't think straight, as we headed to the courthouse for arraignment.

When we got there, there were even more cameras, and people waiting on Langan to arrive. 'Great' I thought silently. We covered Langan's head once again, and opened the door, revealing the paparazzi to Langan.

Elliot and I kept a firm grip on each of his arms as we tried hard to push through the crowd.

Out of nowhere, a guy blows through to me, and raised a gun to my chest. One blow and I was down.

Elliot's POV:

When I saw Olivia fall, I tackled the man with the gun, and watched as the paparazzi scattered from the sound of the shot. I got the guy to the ground, and punched him hard. The uniforms that were there helped me cuff him and get him under control. I turned to Olivia and saw her sprawled on the stairs of the courthouse, where just three hours earlier we were loading Alex.

"Liv!" I yelled rushing to her side. "Liv, baby talk to me."

She opened her eyes and blinked at me. "I knew…I always hated these things." She coughed and lifted her shirt revealing a bullet wedged in the Kevlar. I smiled when I saw that, feeling better, knowing she was ok.

"Thank God, Liv, I thought you were seriously hurt."

She chuckled, "Cragen did make us wear these things for a reason."

I laughed too, and helped her stand to her feet. She stumbled lightly, and I kept my arm on her waist to stabilize her.

Cragen, Fin, and Munch, pulled up and came up to us. "What happened?"

"This dude pulled a Jack Ruby, and shot me." Olivia said, still leaning on me for stabilization.

"At least I told you to put on the vest." Cragen said lightly. "Where is this guy?"

"A couple uni's took him into the courthouse and A couple more took Langan for us."

"Are you ok, to go inside?" Cragen said looking at Olivia. She nodded and we walked in together. I continued to keep my hold on Olivia's waist, as we walked into the courthouse, for Trevor Langan's arraignment.


"Docket ending 6654, People vs. Trevor Langan, charges are attempted murder in the second degree, and assault in the second." The court clerk handed the judge the file.

"How does the defendant plea?"

Langan didn't move or make a sound. His counsel spoke, "Not guilty, your honor."

"Miss Novak?"

"People request remand. The defendant is charged with the attempted murder of ADA Cabot, who is currently in a coma."

The judge gasped and looked to Langan. "Your honor, the people do not have a case, they are putting a well respected lawyer on trial, for nothing."

Casey fought back hard, "Your honor, it is true, that Mr. Langan is a well respected lawyer, but he is a flight risk and we ask that you remand him to the custody of the state."

"I agree." The judge said taking her pen, and writing something down.

"Your honor?" defense pleaded.

"Mr. Langan is remanded to Riker's till trial." The judge banged her gavel, and another case was started. Casey walked up to us, as Langan was being taken through the back.

Olivia was holding her stomach, where the bullet had bruised her, and I was still holding her waist even though we were sitting. "Well, I think that helped but even though this case seems easy it probably wont be. He is a well-respected lawyer. I don't know if I can do it alone. I need Alex."

Olivia stood and pulled her into a hug. "You can do it, Alex can't help because she is too involved."

"I know, it's just she always handles the big cases and I do second chair."

"We believe in you." Munch and smiled at her.

"Thanks, John."

We all walked out into the hallway, and I continued to hold onto Olivia, even though the disorientation was probably over. She looked up at me. "I want to go see Alex."

I nodded, "Can you stand on your own for a second?"

"Yeah." I leaned her up against the wall, and went to talk to Cragen.

"Hey, Olivia wants to see Alex again, so I am going to take her down there."

"Okay, but after that I want you to stay with her tonight, that shot probably hurt more than she is letting on."

"Alright, thanks Cap." I left him and rejoined Olivia helping her to the elevator, and down to the car.


Olivia's POV:

Elliot helping me was really sweet, He helped to the car and out of it once we arrived the hospital.

I walked into Alex's room, and I noticed she was still out of it. She looked pale, and the bruises from her beating were still visible.

I left Elliot's grasp, and fell into the chair next to my sister. I grabbed her hand and she felt cold. "Alex, come on, sweetie, wake up."

I felt a tear fall and Elliot came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders, "She'll make it, Liv."

"How do you know, Elliot?" I asked, sniffling. He dropped by my side and took my other hand in his own.

"Because she is strong, just like you. One guy can't make her fall down, Alex will be jumping in no time." This made me smile. He was right no guy or anything for that matter could get Alex to fall down. She was strong willed and I knew that at that moment, She would make it.

The door opened gently, and a nurse came in. "I'm sorry detectives, visiting hours are over."

"Alright…Alex please get better." I squeezed her hand and let go, Elliot helping me out the door.


Third POV:

They walked out of the hospital, and to his truck. They got in and Elliot began driving to Olivia's.

She dropped her head to the window and quickly fell into a light doze. Elliot smiled lightly, as she slept.

At her apartment, he parked on the street and looked over at Olivia. She had had a long day and he didn't want to wake her. "Liv?"

"Mm."

"Liv, we are at your apartment, do I need to carry you or can you walk?" Her head turned to him, and she smiled.

"I can walk." He nodded and they exited his truck, and walked inside.

In the elevator, Olivia wrapped her arm with his and laid her head on his shoulder.

He used his key instead of trying to dig for hers and opened the apartment. Olivia walked in and straight to her bedroom. She took off her gun, badge, jacket, boots, and phone and laid down on her bed.

Elliot stood there for a moment feeling slightly embarrassed. "I think, I'll leave now."

"No, El, wait…"

"Yeah?"

"Stay here with me." Olivia said lightly, and certainly.

"Are you sure?" She nodded and he toed off his shoes and pulled off his badge and gun and laid down next to her. She turned and buried her head into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her body and they fell asleep.
