Olivia and Elliot were quiet on the way to the hospital. Each in thought of what happened to Abbie as well as her unknown marriage to the notorious Jack McCoy.
OPOV
'When did Abbie marry Jack McCoy? What happened to her?'
EPOV
'I can't believe this happened to Abbie. Besides Liv, she's the toughest person I know'
"Liv how long ago have you spoken with Abbie?"
"Too long, obviously. It was last summer when she called me about an old case. Nothing unusual about her asking."
"Jack McCoy was always a tough lawyer and boss. I hear he was appointed a Superior Judge. Nothing else about his personal life." Stated Elliot.
"Let's get to the hospital Elliot. I want to know what happened."
MANHATTEN HOSPITAL
Jack McCoy sat by his wife's beside, waiting for her to recover. She had been unconscious and Doctors told him she had been raped, along with being beaten. She had 3 broken ribs, a concussion and that she had a miscarriage from the trauma to her body. This had shocked Jack about the baby. He didn't know. He did know that Abbie had phoned him earlier that day and said she had a surprise for him. This must have been what she meant. They had been trying for years and no one except close friends knew of her marriage, but not to Jack McCoy.
Jack adored Abbie and not just for her drop dead beauty. She was intelligent beyond belief and a tough Prosecutor, while under his administration. He knew she would not be with his office long. She had aspirations to further her career, but not to the point of stepping on others to get there. She was honorable, stubborn and even funny when she wanted to be. Jack had seen those qualities and admired her sense of justice and fair play, even when he had heated arguments with her about cases they were prosecuting. It was always about the spirit of the law, not the intent of the law.
Now he kept a vigil by her side, while hearing the beeping of monitors that sustained her life. She had lost a lot of blood and if not for his early return and discovering her in his study, she may have died. He had called Captain Cragen to keep it hush, hush and to provide his most trusted Detectives to investigate. He knew Detective Benson was friends with Abbie. But whether or not she was in touch with her thru the years was at best, a guess.
It didn't matter though. Abbie was the love of his life, and at his late age, she didn't care about the differences. She returned that love the way she tackled her cases. With pure passion and diligence. To him Abbie was his whole life and to see her in this condition and raped, tore thru his heart. He never thought about God and prayer for anyone for a long time, not since his first wife died before meeting Abbie. But this time, he wanted anything and everything to help his wife, even if he didn't believe in God. But for her faith was his best hope to see her open her eyes and tell her how much he loved her.
His cell phone rang. He hoped it was the Detectives from SVU. "Hello?"
The voice was raspy and altered over the phone. "WHEN DEATH COMES, I NEED NOT LOVE. NOT WHEN I'M NO MORE."
Jack was taken aback. "Who is this?"
"You betrayed us Jack and your wife payed for that betrayal." The voice spoke.
"WHO THE HELL IS THIS?"
"The first was a warning. The second will be your last." The cell phone disconnected.
"The first?" Jack thought for a minute and then his first wife's death came back.
"Oh God; No."
