Cragen showed up in Olivia's hospital room shortly after she drifted off to sleep.
"Elliot. Has she said anything?"
"Not much Cap. Probably retrograde amnesia. The doctor said she wasn't raped, she has a concussion and he had to put 12 stitches in a nasty gash on her stomach. She said she didn't remember what happened."
"Glad to hear she wasn't raped—small mercies. Fin and Munch took the evidence back to the lab. We got some prints, blood and a possible vehicle description from one of her neighbors."
Olivia, hearing two deep voices, started to stir.
"El," she called out weakly.
"I'm here Liv," Elliot replied, taking her hand in his, "So is Cragen."
"Liv, how are you feeling," Cragen asked.
"Sore, tired, confused. Was I..."
"No, no Liv, you weren't raped," Elliot finished her thought.
"El... I want to get out of here."
"I'll talk to the doctor, but I don't think he's going to let you go home just yet," Elliot squeezed his partners hand.
"I won't go home El, I can work. I'm ok, really."
Elliot and Cragen exchanged glances, silently agreeing not to argue with Benson. There was no way either of them were going to let her work after everything that had happened, but she was headstrong and neither of them wanted to upset her by getting into an argument.
"You guys call me if you need me, I need to get back to the precinct and check on everyone."
"Ok Captain," Elliot said, "Let us know if you hear anything."
Olivia said good-bye as Cragen squeezed her foot twice and wished her well.
The nurse came in to check on Olivia and change her bandage giving Elliot an opportunity to find the doctor to see when she would be released.
"What did the doctor say El? Can we go now? Please?"
Elliot leaned over and kissed Olivia's forehead, "Tomorrow morning, Liv, we can leave tomorrow morning," he said as he took her hand in his again.
Olivia was trying to keep her emotions in check, and felt really foolish crying over something so insignificant, but the stress of everything that happened combined with the fact that she really, really, did not want to spend the night in the hospital overwhelmed her and the tears began flowing freely. Elliot sat next to her on the bed, wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him. He kissed the top of her head and reassured her, promising to stay with her so she didn't have to be alone. He gently rocked her back and forth and it wasn't too long before Olivia was sound asleep again. Elliot laid next to her on the bed, holding her as she slept and before long he drifted off to sleep as well.
