I've given up on writing a paper. For real! I like to write this story much more than anything scientific. I'm sorry about the cliffhanger but don't worry! I rushed this update! Review!

This chapter is for Trish (Union Brat Tisha) again because she helped me with some ideas. She's awesome. It also goes out to Jen (SVUlover) who constantly pressures me into updating. And last but not least, everyone who reviews. Enjoy!

"What the hell is going on Casey?" Olivia looked at Casey, her eyes were red and blotchy. It was obvious she had been crying. Olivia walked over and hugged Casey's good side. "Whatever it is, you'll get through it."

"Well, Elliot do you remember the uniform who picked Jonathan up?" Munch was facing Elliot who was starring down at Casey and Olivia.

"Vaguely. Why are you asking about her?" Elliot didn't take his eyes off Olivia and Casey who were now crying on each other's shoulders.

"Well, she was Jonathan's ex. They're both missing and her partner was found shot to death in their patrol car." Munch sighed heavily. "So we have a corrupt cop and an escaped rapist on the run together. Just what New York City needs."

Elliot shook his head and walked over to Olivia. He put his hand on the small of her back. "Do you want me and John to wait outside?"

Olivia wiped her eye and nodded silently. Elliot kissed the top of her head and left with John. The two closed the door behind themselves and stood outside with the uniform officers.

Olivia looked up at Casey and frowned. "I'm sorry Casey."

"Olivia, you can't be sorry about this asshole. This isn't your fault for the seventh time. God!" Casey wiped away some tears. "I'm just scared that he's going to try something with you. He's got a complete hard on for you."

Olivia sobbed heavily into Casey's shoulder. "Shh... Liv, I didn't mean to upset you." Casey stroked Olivia's hair gently. The two sat in this position for ten minutes before Olivia lifted her head and wiped her eyes.

"I know Casey. I'm scared too. So what's going on with Munch? He seemed to hustle here." Olivia sniffled her nose and giggled.

"I told him I needed to tell him something important about us. He came here and we were just stalling when his phone rang. We talked about it, I cried and he comforted me, than you and Elliot came back." Casey was smiling like a teenager who was filled with butterflies.

In the meantime, Elliot and John were standing in the hall talking. Elliot was being his angry self and venting to John. "What the hell? This is bull. I'm tired of dealing with this crap. I want this scum bag to be put away for ever." Elliot was talking loudly when he stopped he realized Olivia probably heard every word he said.

John starred at him. He'd seen Elliot blow up plenty of times but never like this, he just starred at him and tried to find the words to say. "Elliot. You can't let this son of bitch rule your life. You need to take control. You guys should probably get a hotel or something. Protection detail would work too."

Elliot sighed heavily. He knew the last thing Olivia going to want to do was be followed around by two uniformed police officers, he wasn't going to like it either. One thing he knew was he was tired of fighting off Jonathan.

Elliot took a deep breath and starred John. "So are you and Casey together now?"

"I don't know. This has complicated everything between us. I need to fix things somehow. I'll fix it when she's better." John patted Elliot on the back. "Let's go back in."

Elliot knocked and heard no response so he slowly opened the door. Casey and Olivia were talking so intensely they didn't hear the men enter the room.

"Hey Babe." Elliot walked up to Olivia and kissed her forehead.

"Hey El." Olivia leaned up and caught Elliot's lips. While this display of affection took place, Casey and Munch were starring awkwardly at the couple.

"Hey Casey." John smiled.

"Hello John." Casey smiled back.

Elliot and Olivia pulled away from each other long enough to notice the other people in the room. The four sat awkwardly. The small talk didn't flow very well like it usually did.

"I can't wait to get out of this hospital bed; I'm starting to smell sickly." Casey said as she crinkled her nose. The hospital was her least favorite place to be. Even after a day, she was ready to escape.

Olivia laughed so hard she snorted. "Liv, you're so weird." Elliot said and kissed Olivia on the cheek.

"You two are like animals that need to be caged." John said smugly. Casey laughed hysterically and Olivia glared at her. Casey tried stop laughing but she couldn't control herself.

"You're an ass." Olivia said coldly. Elliot started to laugh. Olivia was the only one who saw no reason to be laughing. Elliot stopped laughing and grabbed Olivia's chin. He pressed his lips against hers until her heard John and Casey making gagging noises.

Olivia stood up. "I have to go to the bathroom, or at least get away from all of you." Olivia stepped over Elliot's legs and walked into the bathroom. She turned the faucet on and sat on the toilet seat. She began to think about what Jonathan being out really meant.

Jonathan had already attacked her, her best friend, and her boyfriend. Who was he going to after next? She didn't have anyone else left except Simon, but Jonathan didn't know anything about him. She felt a few tears escape from her eyes as she began to rock back and forth. Jonathan had screwed with her for the last time. She'd told so many rape victims to take control and that's what she was going to do.

Olivia sat in there for five more minutes before she got up and left the room. She looked in the mirror before she left, her black eyes weren't showing as much and she didn't look like she had been crying. She pushed her bangs off her forehead and opened the door.

"My God Olivia, I thought you fell in." Casey joked. The guys laughed with Casey and Olivia glared at the three of them.

"I hate you guys." Olivia pouted as she walked back to her chair between Casey and Elliot. Olivia sat back and crossed her arms.

"Liv, stop being a five-year-old. I'm just messing with you. You know I love you too much to make fun of you." Casey said sarcastically. She was having way too much fun ripping on Olivia today.

"Casey why don't you come chase me through the halls? Oh wait..." Olivia said sarcastically back. It was a joking cat fight and the guys weren't sure what to do. They were just intrigued and continued to watch.

Elliot decided he didn't want either of them to say something they'd regret so he intervened. "Liv, can I talk to you in the hall?"

Olivia starred blankly at Elliot. "Umm... sure. Let's go. We'll be back." Olivia was surprised by the request but she gave in and followed Elliot into the hall.

"What's up Elliot?" Olivia questioned as she shut the door behind her. Elliot smiled evilly and pressed Olivia against the door. Their lips collided as he ran his hands up and down her torso. Olivia moaned softly into Elliot's mouth. Suddenly, Olivia fell back with Elliot on top of her.

"Oh sorry guys. We heard some banging on the door." John was starring down at the couple. Casey was laughing like a maniac in her hospital bed.

Elliot jumped up and extended a hand to Olivia who was beat red. "Sorry Liv." Elliot whispered to Olivia when he pulled her up.

Casey was still laughing like a maniac two minutes later when Elliot and Olivia returned to their seats alongside Casey's bed.

"Could you shut up?" Olivia said bluntly to Casey who stopped laughing immediately.

"Sorry... it's just funny." Casey smiled at Olivia who starred coldly until she smiled back.

"It is funny I guess..." Olivia laughed with Casey and the guys soon joined in.

The four of them continued to talk until Casey's doctor came in and told them all Casey needed her rest. Since the three of them volunteered to be her police protection they slept in her room while one uniform guarded the door. The four of them slept uncomfortably until the sun peeked over the horizon.

I'm so tired. It's time for bed. Please review! I couldn't leave the cliffhanger for too long. Reviews!

P.S. Suggestions would be lovely! Or criticism. Or anything else! Seriously though, I would love anything you guys have to say.
