A/N: Here is the next chapter. Please read and review. I will update when I have at least twenty reviews.

Disclaimer: Own nothing except Larissa O'Connor.


In the SVU squad room, Elliot had pulled up a record for Larissa O'Connor. He was surprised. He hadn't been expecting it.

"Hey, John, come here for a minute. Take a look at this."

Munch got up from his desk and walked over to Elliot's. "What's up, Elliot?"

"Larissa O'Connor has a record."

Munch raised his eyebrow. "You're kidding. What for?" He asked as he peered at the computer over Elliot's shoulder.

"Arson, kidnap, drug posession and assault," Elliot read off the screen.

"Wow. We better tell Cragen."

"Tell me what?" Cragen asked as he emerged from his office with his coat on.

"Larissa O'Connor has quite the rap sheet," Elliot replied.

Cragen took a slow, deep breath as he walked over to two of his detectives. "For what exactly?"

Elliot rattled them off to the Captain and Don just nodded before looking at the two men. "Ok. I'm on my way to see Liv now anyway so I'll tell her so she knows and Elliot, you should go see her tonight and apologize. She needs your support. You're her partner."

Elliot nodded. "I will."

"Ok. Take Chester with you to the O'Connor's home. Munch, you coming?"

Munch nodded and grabbed his coat. "Yes, I am."

After just having a normal conversation with Olivia, Fin and Munch. Cragen decided that it was time to talk to Olivia seriously, in private. "Fin, John, head over to the prep's house to execute the search warrant. I need to talk to Olivia alone."

The detectives obeyed the order and each gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek and said goodbye before leaving quietly.

Olivia was exhausted and Cragen could tell so he decided to make it quick so she could sleep.

"Cap, what the hell is going on?"

"Larissa O'Connor has a record, Liv," he informed her gently.

Olivia sunk further in to the fluffy pillow with a soft sigh, closing her eyes momentarily before looking back at the Captain again. "What for?"

Cragen sighed, deeply and looked in to the tough female detective's uneasy, distant brown eyes.

"She's been charged with arson, kidnap, drug posession and assault," Captain Cragen explained to one of his best detectives.

Olivia's eyes grew wide with surprise as she exhaled deeply. "Please tell me that you're joking, Captain," she replied. It was clear that she wasn't to impressed about it either.

Don shook his head, sadly. "I'm afraid not, Liv. Elliot and Chester went to pick her up. They're probably back at the precinct with her."

"Make sure that they add attempted murder to her already lengthy rap sheet. I'm sorry but I'm still tired. I'm going to go back to sleep. You can stay if you want," Olivia said before closing her eyes.

Cragen decided to stay for a while to watch over her.

Back at the 1-6 precinct, Elliot and Chester were in the interrogation room, interrogating the perp but the young woman with dyed black hair, hazel eyes, four piercings in each ear and a nose piercing wasn't planning on giving anything up.

Larissa was looking pretty calm and casual. Not a care in the world, even with the possiblity of having to go to jail for a long time for attempted murder.

"So how is Detective Benson? I heard she was shot. I hope she wasn't hurt too badly. She's a very nice lady, just not a very good detective," Larissa spoke with innocence in her voice.

Elliot clasped his hands together and put them on the table while Chester leaned against the wall beside the two way mirror, where Casey and Dr Huang were watching the interrogation.

"Detective Benson did everything she could for you. She went to your aid at four in the morning when she was exhausted from working 50 hours straight and this is how you repay her?" Elliot asked, trying to keep his anger aside for the moment.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I wasn't there. I didn't shoot her."

Elliot was about to respond when there was a knock on the glass.

"We'll be right back," he said before he got up and he and Chester left the room.

Outside the interrogation room, Elliot and Chester saw Fin with Casey and George.

"Well? Did you find the gun?" Elliot asked, hopeful.

Fin shook his head, sadly. "Sorry, man. Nothing. She must've chucked it in the river."

Elliot punched the wall in frustration. "Damn it!"

Casey put a hand on Elliot's shoulder in sympathy. "You have to release her, Elliot. I'm sorry but we have nothing to charge her with."

"But she shot Liv. I know she did!" Elliot was furious.

He didn't want Larissa to walk free. He knew for certain that she shot his best friend/ secret lover.

Elliot tip-toed in to Olivia's hospital room at 5:02 in the morning after working all night on the case, trying his hardest to get Olivia's shooter put in jail but he wasn't getting anywhere. He was getting majorly frustrated and angry.

The handsome detective tip-toed to the chair beside the hospital bed, hoping not to wake the sleeping beauty, occuping the bed.

Just as he sat down, he noticed that Olivia had woken up. Her beautiful brown eyes examining his exhausted and run down appearance.

"Hey. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," he whispered softly.

Olivia slightly smiled at her partner. She didn't seem angry with him anymore. "You're alright. I was already awake. I slept too much yesterday," Olivia said and laughed, causing her to whimper in pain.

Elliot heard the whimper and panicked. "Are you ok, Liv?"

Olivia whimpered in pain again and shook her head. "I need more pain meds," Olivia spoke in a near inaudiable whisper.

"Ok, honey. Hang on, I'll get you a nurse," he said and he continually pressed the nurse call button in panic.

That was the last thing Olivia heard before she lost consciousness.

Olivia woke again three hours later to see the sun's gaze coming through the window and Elliot in the chair beside the bed, sound asleep, holding her hand.

Elliot must've sensed that Olivia was awake because he woke up himself.

"Hey, Livvie. Glad to see you awake."

Olivia rubbed her right temple. "What happened, El?" She asked in confusion.

"You passed out from the unbearable pain because you pulled a couple of your stitches and your pain meds ran out. They were empty for a while since the nurses hadn't checked on you," Elliot explained.

The beautiful brunette nodded and slight smiled. "Well it was a good thing that you were here. Did you arrest Larissa O'Connor yet?"

Elliot sighed and caressed the back of his partner's hand. "I'm afraid not, Liv."

Olivia raised her eyebrow in anger. "Why the hell not?"

"We couldn't find the gun and there's not enough evidence. I'm sorry, babe. You need a protective detail."

Olivia shook her head as her eyes filled with unwanted tears. "No! I don't need one."

Elliot gently got up on to the bed beside Olivia and wrapped his arms around her, protectively.

Olivia rested her head in to his chest and Elliot rubbed her back in a soothing motion, in an effort to comfort her. "I'll be there for you the whole way, baby."

Olivia nodded. "Thanks, El," she replied. Her voice muffled by his chest but Elliot understood what she said.
