Got a couple emails about ideas, most of them saying LET EVERYONE BE OK! Let's see just how evil I am….
It went to voicemail again. Olivia had to have left at least 20 by now on Cragen's phone. This wasn't like him, something had to be wrong.
"Ms. Benson?" a tall doctor said.
"Yes? Is…Is Elliot going to be ok?" she began crying again.
"He'll be in surgery for another couple hours. His injuries are pretty bad," the doctor sympathetically said.
"I have to get out of here," she said pulling out her card. "Call me when he's out, ok?" she asked, placing the card on his clipboard.
"Ok ma'am."
Olivia began sprinting out the door. The cold night air hit her face. She was stunned for a second but knew she had to get to Cragen's house.
She called a cab and stuttered out the address.
The ride was short but to Olivia seemed to take hours on end. Her thoughts consumed her of the wellbeing of her closest friends.
"Excuse me? That'll be $36.72," the cab driver said holding out his hand.
Olivia slapped down a $50 and ran out. Cab rides had become so expensive.
She hadn't even noticed how much extra she'd given him when he drove away. She was too distracted by the cracked window on the door of the Cragen residence.
She pulled out her gun and held it low. Slowly, she walked up the shallow steps, one by one.
As she pushed open the door it gave a little creak, adding to the eerie scene in front of her.
"Hello?" she called as she stepped over the debris that was Cragen's furniture.
Whoever had broken in here hit it like a tornado and left nothing standing in their path.
"Hello? Cragen? Are you here?" Olivia cried out.
"Olivia?" a small voice called.
She put her gun away and ran up the staircase.
"Where are you?" she yelled.
"In here."
She walked towards to door that the voice came from.
She pushed it open, bracing for what she was about to see.
"Oh my god," was all she could say as she shoved the door open...
**********EO**********
"Livvy? Is that you?" Elliot said, approaching a female figure in front of him.
"El, El you need to wake up for me ok?"
It was Olivia. He ran towards her but wasn't getting any closer.
"Liv? Where am I? What happened?" he asked still getting nowhere closer to her.
"Elliot wake up, pull through this," she said her voice getting more and more distant.
Fog slowly decreased his ability to see her figure until he was just running towards nothing.
He was surrounded by white. No noise. No smell. No sight. A personal hell.
"Olivia," he tried to say but nothing came out.
She said he had to wake up. Why would he have to wake up? But if Olivia said it, he'd have to try.
Light flooded into his eyes as they slowly fluttered open. He tried to move but his body wasn't in his control.
"Doctor Sangra, he's awake," said a female voice.
"Welcome back, Elliot," a woman said looking down at him.
"What happened? Why can't I move?" he said, very confused.
"You were in a car accident. You just got out of an extensive surgery. You're bodies still being affected by the drugs you were given. You'll be just fine now if you get physical therapy to rebuild some muscle in your leg," the doctor said smiling.
"I need Olivia," he said trying to sit up but failing miserably.
"I called her. She said she'd be here as soon as possible but there was a mess she had to clean up first. I'll send her to you as soon as she arrives."
"Thank you."
As Elliot went back to trying to move, all his memory of the accident came flooding back.
He was talking to Olivia on the phone and looked out the window on his left. He saw a woman dressed in all black. He heard a gunshot and began spinning out of control. He dropped his phone to gain control of his vehicle. It didn't work. He remembered a crash, a scream, and then black.
When he could finally lift his head he looked down at his limp body to see his leg in a cast and being elevated with a pillow or two underneath it.
He needed Olivia.
**********EO**********
"Cra… Cragen what happened here?" Olivia asked short of breath.
"He came after me, with a gun. I had no choice. It was self defense," Cragen said not once taking his eyes off the dead body that was Dean Porter, lying in front of him.
"Capt, let's get you out of here. We'll get this taken care of ok?" she said as she pulled him up.
They carefully avoided the body and were outside the house in an instant.
"He just came at me and when I saw the gun I…" he trailed off and looked at the ground. He couldn't believe he'd taken a life.
"Listen to me," Olivia said as she grabbed his shoulders. "If you hadn't shot him you'd be the one lying on that floor. You know a lot more people would be upset in that case."
"Liv he told me, right as he was going to pull the trigger that this one was for you. Do you know what that's supposed to mean?" he asked.
"I don't know. Oh shit," she said her eyes widening.
"What is it?"
"Elliot. He was in an accident. Someone shot his care wheel. You don't think…" she said, her hands shaking now.
"What time was the accident?" Cragen asked, his senses coming back to him.
"Around 10:30" she said.
"It couldn't have been Dean, that's about when he showed up here," he sighed.
"Then who the hell… Wait you didn't answer when I called you because Porter was… Shit shit shit!" she cursed as she pulled Cragen towards his care.
"Where are we going, Liv?" he asked really confused.
"Munch's apartment," she stated.
"Porter was here, he couldn't have been…"
Olivia cut him off, "Obviously there's more than one person involved in this. Whoever shot Elliot's car was long gone by the time any cops showed up. They could have gone after Munch or Fin," she explained and Cragen raised his eyebrows.
"They didn't answer their goddamned phones either," she screamed and he finally understood.
The two drove away as soon as they explained the horrible scene to an arriving detective.
**********EO**********
"That'll be $32.50 sir," a preppy little girl said.
"Damn the price of boos sure has gone up," Fin stated, flashing the girl an I.D. and grabbed his bag.
He walked out the store and a pair of hands grabbed him and pulled him into an alley.
"Kathy? What the hell?" Fin seemed surprised she'd pull something like this.
"If you're planning on using me to make Elliot jealous I'm not interested," he chuckled and tried to walk away until he felt a fun press to the back of his head.
"I don't want you for a sick little game. She's gonna pay, yes she is," she let out an evil laugh and pulled Fin into the shadows.
**********EO*********
Olivia practically jumped out of the car while it was still in motion as they arrived at Munch's house.
She banged on the door and screamed out, "Munch! Are you ok in there?"
"Whoa calm down there Liv. I know you want me but can you be a little quieter about it," Munch laughed opening his door.
"You mean you're ok? No one's been here at all?" she said looking behind him into his house.
"Liv honey, I'm fine," he assured her. "Capt? What are you doing here? You don't look to good."
"You're not safe here Munch," he stated clearly.
"Do I even…"
"Come with us. We need to go find Fin and make sure Elliot is ok," Olivia said pulled at Munch.
"Ok Fin's fine. He just called me like 10 minutes ago alright. Let's just go see Elliot," Munch assured them.
"So he'll answer a call from you but not me. Wow I feel incredibly loved," Olivia rolled her eyes.
"You know we do," Munch laughed.
"Ya whatever, so to Mercy then?" Olivia asked.
"Sounds good to me. Hopefully out little Elliot is alright," Munch joked.
Olivia wasn't quite sure why but something felt wrong, really really wrong.
Ok I swear the next chapter will have the answer to the drama that Fin is in AND lots of EO cuteness! But until then leave me a review and some ideas!
