Former detective Brian Cassidy was on his way into Olivia's room, carrying a vase full of fresh white lilies, which happens to be her favorite flowers in his hands. As soon as he heard about what happened in her apartment, he dropped everything and found himself driving like a madman from Brooklyn just so he could be with her. He wanted to wring that maniac's neck for even hurting the woman he loves.
Brian and Olivia have been seeing each other exclusively for almost a year and so far, the relationship has been really good. When he was shot while he was working undercover last year, she surprised him by kissing him as he was laying in the hospital room, but then he realized that his feelings for her never really wavered. So, when she pulled the Florence Nightingale move and kissed him, not once, but twice; letting him know that she's not the same woman he knew from when they had that infamous one night stand 14 years ago, even Brian knew that Olivia still harbored feelings for him.
Now, their relationship was tested because some sick freak named William Lewis a.k.a The Beast was setting his sights on her. Brian will be damned if anyone messed with his girl. For the first time in his life, he has something good with the brunette beauty and he won't let anyone stand in his way of love. He loves Olivia so much that he'll even sacrifice his own life just to make sure she's safe and protected.
Sighing deeply, he pushed the door open to Olivia's private room and stepped inside, smiling at the sight of her sleeping peacefully. He quietly made his way over to the left side of the bed and put the vase of lilies down on the table, trying not to wake her up. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then he gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly; silently letting her know that he was here and he's not going anywhere.
Olivia woke up a minute later and found herself looking into the smiling brown eyes of Cassidy. A grin appeared on her beautiful face as she squeezed his hand gently.
"Hey, stranger. When did you get here?" she asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Just now. I stopped by the florist and picked up some white lilies, because I knew they're your absolute favorite. When I heard what happened, I dropped everything and came here so you won't be alone," he explained, raising her hand up to his lips and kissing it gently.
"Thank you for the flowers. But, I'm okay. I managed to fend him off, even though he did put a bullet in my stomach," she told him, raising her hospital gown up to show him where the bullet hole was. Sure enough, a hole was found smack dab right in the middle of her abdomen.
"Liv, what's with the bandage on your neck?" he asked, pointing to the left side of her neck where the bandage covered her bite mark.
"He bit down on my neck hard, causing me to bleed. He threw me down on the sofa and pounced on top of me; but like I said before, I managed to fend him off by kicking him in his stomach. I even kicked him in his face and broke his nose when he grabbed my ankles. I'm fine, Bri," she assured him, but deep down inside, she was still terrified. Olivia had a tough time going to sleep because of the nightmares she started having.
"I can't believe that son of a bitch would do this to you. Let him come near you again; I'll snap his neck like a fucking twig," Brian huffed angrily, squeezing her hand harder.
"He's in jail, Bri. Actually, he's in the infirmary after I put a bullet in his stomach and shoulder. He won't be a bother to me for a while, so don't worry," she assured him, squeezing his hand again.
"Liv, are you going back to your apartment when you leave?" he asked, looking at her with a worried on his face.
"Yeah. I'm not gonna let him ruin my life. I'm going back home to my apartment and I'm gonna come out of this a stronger person," she said with determination.
"Well, why don't I stay with you? That way, you won't be alone and we can be able to spend some more time together. And, I get to have my cuddle buddy back," he quipped, leaning over and planting a searing kiss on her lips.
Olivia had to laugh at what he said. "Cuddle buddy? Bri, you and I have been doing a lot more than cuddling."
"True, but still, let me stay with you. I just want to make sure you're safe, that's all," he said, smiling at her.
"Kiss me again and you got yourself a deal," she replied, yanking his hand again.
He leaned over and kissed her again; completely unaware of the danger lurking near the shadows. Danger that would change everyone's lives forever.
Danger that no one will be prepared for.

"Detectives, I'm afraid I got some bad news," Assistant District Attorney Rafael Barba said as he walked into the squad room with a somber look on his face.
"What's going on?" Fin asked, getting up from his desk.
"I just come from court and you're not gonna believe this; William Lewis managed to make bail again," Barba announced, looking angry.
"What?! Are you kidding me?! How did he manage to pull that off this time?!" Amanda snapped, bolting out of her chair.
"We're dealing with a smart perp, that's for sure. His lawyer's also smart. She convinced the judge that her client was being railroaded by the NYPD, particularly this unit. We could be looking at a potential lawsuit if he ends up acquitted. Which is why I need you to go and get detective Benson's statement right away. Furthermore, did you find anything in her apartment?" Barba asked, setting his briefcase down on Amaro's desk.
"He climbed through a window using a crowbar, but we haven't recovered it yet. However, we did find Liv's gun in the trash can. Lewis must've tossed it out of the window once he got his hands on it, but he had no idea that she had a backup gun hiding underneath her bed. He tried to rape her on the sofa, but she managed to fend him off," Fin explained.
"Also, as he was waiting for her to come home, he had some time to kill, so he ended up masturbating in her bedroom. He ejaculated on her bed and he ejaculated on her underwear. His DNA and fingerprints are all over her bed and underwear drawer. We're actually on our way to the hospital right now to get her statement," Amanda said as she grabbed her jacket off the chair.
"That's a good idea, Rollins. And, just to make sure, I want you guys to be on high alert. Just got word that Lewis's lawyer paid his bail. He's in the wind again," Cragen said as he came out of his office.
"Man, that's messed up. Liv's gonna be out of the hospital in a couple of days. Where she's gonna stay at?" Fin huffed angrily.
"I don't know about that, but I do know that she can't go back to her apartment. William Lewis knows where she lives and he made no bones about breaking in without provocation," Cragen said, shaking his head.
"We're on our way to get her statement right now, Cap. Should we tell her why she can't go back to her apartment?" Amanda asked as she slipped her jacket on her body.
"Normally, I'd say no, but knowing Olivia, she's gonna be bombarding you with questions until you finally cave in. So, tell her, but be delicate about it. She's been though enough for now," Cragen said as he turned on his heel and headed back towards his office.
"Oh, and please be careful out there. As I mentioned before, our perp's in the wind and there's no telling what he's planning on doing next," he added on before he stepped back into his office and closed the door.
"I agree with Cragen. Go talk to Olivia and see what she has to say. I'm gonna need all the evidence you got so that I can finally nail that sick son of a bitch," Barba said as he picked up his briefcase, turned on his heel and walked out of the precinct.
"Ready to go?" Fin asked as he picked up his car keys.
"Yeah, let's go. Liv needs us right now," Amanda replied, patting her partner on his shoulder and giving him a grim smile.
Together, they walked out of the precinct; completely unaware of the danger that was lurking right behind their shoulders and that one of their own will lose his/her life at the hands of The Beast.
And everyone's lives at the one six will drastically change forever.

Brian stepped out for a moment to fetch a cup of coffee, leaving Olivia alone in her hospital room. Closing her eyes and letting out a deep sigh, she knew that she's gonna have to make her statement. She wasn't gonna allow William Lewis to ruin her life. However, little did she know, that her life was gonna take another drastic and dangerous turn.
Sighing deeply once again, she leaned back against the bed and started getting comfortable on the bed when the door opened and Fin and Amanda appeared a moment later; both of them with huge smiles on their faces. Fin went over to the right side of the bed, leaned down and planted a light kiss on her forehead while Amanda pulled up another chair and sat down.
"How you're doing, baby girl?" he asked as he sat down in the same chair Cassidy sat in.
Olivia sighed. "I'll live. I just got shot in my stomach. That's all. I'm sure Lewis got it worse since I put the bullet in his stomach and shoulder."
"Liv, the reason why we came here is because we have to take your statement and you're gonna have to find somewhere else to stay for the time being," Amanda jumped in.
"What are you talking about? I'm going home to my apartment when I get out of here. I'm not gonna let that sick son of a bitch affect my life," Olivia said, getting angry.
"Liv, the sick son of a bitch had some time to kill before you walked in your apartment. He ejaculated on your bed. He rummaged through your underwear drawer, found your blue boy shorts and ejaculated on them as well. Furthermore, he's out on bail. He's in the wind. Also, we could be facing a potential lawsuit if he somehow ends up acquitted. He could have the entire one six buried in paperwork for the next decade or so," Fin explained, grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly.
Olivia felt her heart drop right into her stomach. Just when she thought it was finally over, she gets dealt with another bad hand. The Beast was once again in the wind; plotting his next move. She didn't know how much more bad news she could take.
"I don't think it's gonna make a difference if I make a statement," she finally said, allowing fresh tears to fall from her brown eyes.
"Liv, you have to talk about it. Your statement, not to mention you managed to fend him off could be the key for us to finally get a conviction. We need you," Amanda assured her colleague.
"What's the point in doing that? You know the whole story," Olivia said, closing her tear stained eyes.
"But there's some details we don't know about. C'mon, Liv, just start from the beginning," Fin said, squeezing her hand again in comfort.
Letting out another deep sigh, she began making her statement, not realizing that there were tragic consequences knocking at her door.
And it will leave her forever heartbroken.
