Elliot stood outside of Alex's room. Not only was he trying to work up the nerve to face Alex after the way he acted but he also heard Captain Cragen in there. All of which translated to a double ass chewing probably at the same time. The one thing he was willing to bet on was that by the time the ice princess was done with him he would never have children again. Hell he'd probably be lucky to leave with all body parts intact. Taking a deep breath he knocked on the door.

"Come in" Alex called out thinking it was a nurse on the other end of the door. What she wasn't prepared for was the man who acted as if he was going to hit her earlier. It took all her restraint not to cower back and remain in the position she was in.

"Hey Cabot" He said nodding toward her before looking toward Captain Cragen "Captain."

"Stabler." Cragen said standing. Now that he knew Alex's past he could only imagine what was going through her head since Stabler acted as if he was going to strike her earlier "is there something you need."

"I would like to apologize to Cabot for my actions earlier." He said looking down at the ground like a child who had been scolded "I was more than out of line and not justified for anything. I wanted to make sure she reported me to Internal Affairs."

Alex's head shot up when she heard Elliot talking. She was amazed that he was taking the blame and that he was out of line. But then again Elliot wasn't Jess and an officer's code of ethics was certainly different than that of a standard person.

"Elliot I deserved it. I'm not going to report you."

"Cabot no one especially a woman deserves to be treated the way I treated you earlier."

Cragen looked from Alex to Elliot and back. He knew with her history she wouldn't report a thing and was willing to chalk it up to the stress of Olivia being shot. He took a deep breath and caught Alex's eyes. Silently he asked her permission which amazed him when he received it. He nodded slowly before turning to face Elliot.

"Go bring Munch and Fin in here we need to talk."

The color drained from Elliot's face but for once he did as he was told without arguing. Within minutes Three of his detectives was standing in Alex's room looking as if their world was about to collapse.

"Gentlemen what you are about to learn will stay between the four of us and will never be spoken of again do you understand."

Fin turned and locked the door while Elliot made sure all the blinds was closed. Once that was done three pairs of eyes were on Captain Cragen in silent agreement that what they were about to learn would never leave between the five people in that room.

"Alex, do you want to tell them?"

Alex shook her head unable to look at the detectives as they discovered that she was one of the victims that they worked endlessly to receive justice for.

"Alex has a complaint that is not going to be filled" Cragen began making sure each and everyone understood what he was saying "For over two years she was the victim of not only mental abuse, but physical and sexual abuse. The perps name is Jessica Johnson she had met her at a club and they had hit it off. It began as the perfect relationship until about seven months in. That was the first time she struck her. It was another month before anything happened again and that was when the sexual abuse started and was repeated on a regular basis."

Cragen stopped to look at Alex and his heart broke when he saw how white she was. He glanced back up at his detectives and could see the anger flashing through their eyes. May god rest her soul when they got their hands on her.

"The abuse ended about the time she started as our ADA. That was when she felt safe enough to stand up to Jessica. She told her that if she ever laid another hand on her she would have to deal with us. Jess did the smart thing and left immediately. Now she is stalking and harassing her on a regular basis. Now here is where it gets a little tricky."

The guys head perked up interested in how protecting Alex and getting her justice was tricky.

"We do not have a complaining witness on the abuse."

All three detectives looked directly at Alex. It was Elliot who spoke up first.

"Alex we can and will protect you no matter what. We will guarantee you that we will get the bitch if you will sign a complaint form."

"Thank you stabler but I refuse to be known as the ADA who was too weak to protect themselves."

"But."

"But nothing Stabler" Alex shot back with one of her cold stares.

"As I was saying" Cragen said hoping to diffuse the situation some "What we do have is an Assistant District Attorney that is being harassed and threatened. One that she will sign a complaint form too. You three know as well as I do that that is a federal offense. So she needs to be convinced to forget Ms. Cabot exists or enjoy one of the government's fine establishments for about three years. All of this is done quietly. If she does not agree to it Huang will be read in and only then. That way protection from a woman who has possible ties to an organized crime family can be established and she can be caught. Are we clear on the task at hand."

"Yes sir." They all said in unison.

"Good. Did we have this conversation?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Cap" Fin said stepping forward "we all came in here as a unit to see our ADA."

"Smart man." Cragen said with a smile on his face "Now if you will please excuse me I need to see if I can find any information out on Benson."

The men stepped to the side to allow Cragen enough room to leave. They took a few minutes to look from each other before a silent decision was made. Munch nodded his head as he moved to the chair that Captain Cragen had occupied just moments before. Fin and Stabler looked from Alex to Munch and back as if to silently tell her he had first watch. They turned and walked out the door with a new determination written on their faces.

A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews. I promise everyone will find out about Olivia on the next chapter. Please just hang in there a little longer.
