Chapter 5

Alex walked into the precinct the next morning looking furious.

"So what he didn't pay for dinner?" Munch joked about Trevor knowing that they had a date the night before over hearing it from Olivia.

"Didn't kiss you goodnight?" Fin joked along with him.

Alex put her head in her hand. "He never showed up last night. I called his cell with no answer and his phone at work has been constantly off the hook."

"Well maybe he had another meeting with the partners about Colleen and he is just calling everyone about it trying to see if he can help at all," Olivia suggested.

"Then why didn't he tell me. He could have called me. I could have helped," Alex said sounding disappointed.

"Thanks guys, now she is back to the whiney girlfriend faze with the mean lawyer man," Elliot laughed.

Don stormed in and turned on the TV.

"What's wrong Captain?" Olivia asked leaning forward in her seat.

"This is why Trevor missed your date Alex," Don snapped out pointing at the TV.

"Attorney Trevor Langan was attacked last night while leaving his office. He was stabbed once just below the heart and was sent to Mercy where he is said to be in critical condition," the TV anchorwoman said to her audience.

Alex rushed out of the room as quickly as she had come in after hearing that. Olivia followed behind her.

"Is the serial killer 'Sargent Pepper' trying to send another message? This is Page Price for channel 5 News. Back to desk," she finished and then the camera faded back to the news desk.

Don shut off the TV. "We are still working on this case people!" He addressed everyone loudly across the room. "1PP has told me that no matter what happens to the next victim or who it is we will be the ones to catch this son-of-a-bitch! Now let's get to work! Elliot, why don't you meet the girls at the hospital and see if Langan is up for some questions. Fin, John, go to Langan & Associates and question anyone who was still there when he left last night."

Mercy General Hospital

Alex held on tight to Trevor's hand as he lay there still unconscious. She weeps for him as Olivia stands next to the door watching her sit next to him.

Elliot came up to the door and put a hand on Olivia's shoulder. "He's not awake yet?"

Olivia turned to look at him and shook her head. She lead him out into the hall. "The blade almost hit his heart and a lung. Luckily it missed both. He has been in surgery for the last two hours. The doctors say even though it didn't hit any major organs he is still not out of the woods yet."

Elliot nodded and looked in on Alex and Trevor. "Fin and Munch went to his office to see if anyone was around before it happened."

"Why don't you go get some coffee and I'll come get you when he wakes up," she told him as she walked back into the room. She sat down in a chair in the corner of the room away from the bed.

"He was really trying to help. He was legitimately worried about what was happening with all of this. Why did they have to attack him? He was just Colleen's boss," Alex sobbed.

Olivia sighed. "Maybe he didn't tell us everything he knew Alex. Maybe you two caring so much about each other cloaked him. He didn't want to hurt you so he omitted things from what he really knew about the case."

"Look, I know you and he haven't ever seen eye-to-eye but give him a break!" Alex snapped at her.

At that instant Trevor slowly opened his eyes. "Alex," he said softly squeezing her hand back.

"Hey," she said leaning forward to kiss his forehead. "You gave us all a scare. How do you feel?"

Trevor took a shallow breath. "Like I was stabbed in the chest."

Alex and Olivia both laughed.

Elliot walked in with a tray of coffees. "Hey Langan's finally awake, how 'bout that." He handed a coffee to Olivia and then one to Alex.

A doctor came in and checked all of his vitals and then walked back out.

"You up for some questions Mr. Langan?" Elliot asked him as he took out a notepad and pen.

Trevor nodded. "Yeah, sure, fire away."

"Maybe you should rest now and questions later," Alex told him.

Elliot and Olivia looked at each other.

"Let him ask a few questions and then I can get as much rest as you think I need doctor," Trevor said jokingly and he kissed her on the cheek.

"Did you see the face of the person who stabbed you?" Elliot asked.

"He had a ski mask on and gloves too unfortunately. He was maybe five-ten or five-eleven, shorter than me anyway," Trevor told him.

"Did he say anything to you?" Elliot continued.

"He called me a stupid son-of-a-bitch. Before that I had heard his voice on my phone. He called my office and said that Colleen was a slut who deserved to die," Trevor said looking down away from all of them, tears swelling up in his eyes.

"Thank you for the information. We will need your phone records so we can see if we can find out where the call came from," Elliot informed him.

Trevor nodded and raised his right hand to offer it to Elliot. "Thank you."

Elliot shook his hand and walked out of the room.

Olivia put a hand on Alex's shoulder and followed him out into the hall.

Alex kissed Trevor again softly. "Rest."
