Chapter 11
"You said bite me, so I did." Alex smirks.
"Do you always take things literally? Damn Alex, that stings." Olivia says rubbing over her collarbone.
"Sorry, Liv. I didn't meant to bite so hard that it would sting."
"Yeah yeah. Just so you know Counselor, you only are getting away with it for now."
"For now? Why for now?"
"Because my meds are kicking in."
"Ow. Does that mean I'm in trouble later, Detective?"
"Yes you are, Counselor. Maybe just maybe, you will be lucky and I forgot it by the time I wake up."
"Well in that case. Forget it."
"Very funny. Let's go sleeping, baby. We had one hell of a day. We both can use a good night rest."
"Yes we can. I know I can use it. I like you calling me baby."
"Mmm. Me too. Goodnight Lex." Olivia mumbles sleepy.
"Goodnight Liv."
Olivia kisses Alex head before she falls asleep. Alex listens to the steady heartbeat from the sleeping brunette. It doesn't take long before the ADA falls asleep too.
A few hours later Olivia wakes up and turns on the lamp on the night stand. She has a feeling something isn't right. Alex lays half on top of her. Feeling the blond ADA in her arms while waking up puts a smile on Olivia's face. Olivia carefully tries to get out from under Alex without waking her up. After 5 minutes Olivia is finally able to leave the bed. She takes her gun and cellphone of the night stand and tip toes out of the bedroom. Slowly and silently Olivia checks every room in the house and checks if all the doors are locked. Then she hears someone is walking around the house and calls Amanda. The cellphone rings 3 times before Amanda answers it.
"Rollins." Amanda answers sleepily.
"Amanda, it's Olivia. Someone is walking around the house." Olivia whispers.
"What? Are you sure?" Amanda answers now fully awake.
"Yes. I'm sure. Someone is walking around the house. I've checked all the rooms and they are clear. All the doors are locked. Can you come here as soon as possible? Call the Captain, Fin and Munch on your way." Olivia says.
"Yes, of course. I'm on my way. I'll be there in 15 minutes. Stay inside. Keep Alex and yourself safe."
"I will. Just hurry up. And be careful when you get here."
"I will. See ya soon."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye."
Amanda quickly puts some clothes on and runs out of her apartment to her car. She puts on the sirens. Then she calls Cragen. After 4 rings Cragen answers the phone.
"Cragen."
"Captain, it's Amanda. Olivia just called me. Someone is walking around the house. I'm on my way there."
"Damn it. Alright. Call Fin, I call Munch. I'm on my way too. I'll be there in 20 minutes. And Amanda, stay safe. Wait for the rest of us unless you have no choice."
"I will. I call Fin now. See ya soon Captain."
"Yes. Bye."
"Bye."
Cragen curses a few times and calls Munch. Getting dressed in the mean time. Munch answers the phone right away. He is working at the precinct.
"Munch."
"John, it's Cragen. You need to go the safe house now. Olivia called Amanda. Somebody is walking around the house. I'm on my way but it will take me 20 minutes to get there. Amanda is there first."
"Oh damn it. I'm on my way Captain. Be there in 15 minutes. Bye."
"Ok. Bye."
At the same time Amanda is calling Fin. Who happens to be at the precinct too. Fin answers his cellphone after the first ring.
"Tutuola."
"Fin, it's Amanda. Ya need to come to safe house now. Something ain't right. Olivia called me. Someone is walking around the house."
They both hear Munch cursing.
"Seems like Munch got the call to. We are on our way. Be there in 15."
"Ok. See ya there. I'm there in 10. Bye."
"Bye."
Olivia was pacing in the living room for 10 minutes before she decided to go upstairs and stay with Alex. It was a risk. But she had to make sure Alex was safe. So she walks upstairs and tip toes back into the bedroom. She stands up against the wall next to door. She hears a lock opens and she calls Amanda again.
Amanda is within 3 minutes from the safe house so turns off the sirens. At the same moment her cellphone rings again. She looks at it and sees it Olivia.
"Hey Liv. I will be there in 3 minutes."
"Can't talk anymore somebody is in the house. I let the phone on so you can listen." Olivia whispers.
Olivia lays down her cellphone behind a dresser front down and goes back to where she stood.
Amanda curses inside her head. Speeding up to get there as soon as she can.
Olivia hears someone walking to their bedroom and takes a deep breath. She hopes she can protect Alex. Alex who is still asleep and doesn't have clue what's happening.
The door to the bedroom opens and then Olivia sees it's Atkins. Atkins hasn't seen Olivia standing next to the door opening when opens the door and steps inside. With a gun in his hand. He pointed it at Alex.
Olivia puts her gun against the sleep on his head.
"Didn't aspect me here did you?" Olivia says.
"Ah Detective, how nice to see you and your girlfriend here." Atkins answers.
"Drop your gun, Atkins."
"Or what? You're gonna shoot me? I don't think so." Atkins says opening his jacket.
Atkins has bomb on top of his stomach. The controller in his left hand.
Alex wakes up and freezes as she sees Atkins standing with the bomb and her girlfriend next to him.
"You see, if you shoot me I let go the controller and when it hits the floor the bomb will go off. Didn't I tell in my letter I would have my way with your girlfriend and the only thing you can do is watch?" Atkins says with a sly grin on his face.
"Over my dead body." Olivia answers.
"Now where is the fun in that? No you are gonna watch Detective." Atkins says turning to Olivia and pointed his gun at her.
Olivia knows she has to find a way to keep him talking. She knows Amanda is on her way and should be there any minute. So she needs to buy time. Plus the fact that she really means it when she said 'over my dead body'. Her priority now is to keep Alex safe and unharmed. With an broken arm in plaster she is in a major disadvantage.
"Like I said, over my dead body." Olivia says.
"I don't think so. There is not much you can do now, is it Detective. You have a broken arm you can't use and I have a gun and a bomb. Who do you think will win?" Atkins asks.
"Not you." Olivia says as she punches Atkins in his side with her broken arm.
It hurts like hell. But Olivia knew she was running out of time and had to do something.
"You gonna pay for that you bitch." Atkins says.
He pulls the tricker and shoots Olivia in her stomach. As he fires again shooting Olivia in her right shoulder Olivia shoots Atkins in his head. They both crashes down on the floor. Somehow Olivia managed to catch the controller. Atkins is dead before he hits the floor.
"Amanda, you're still there?" Olivia asks fighting to stay conscious.
"Yeah. I'm here. Hold on Liv, I'm almost there." Amanda answers.
"Amanda call the bomb squad and get Alex out of here. Promise me."
"I will. I promise. Stay awake Liv."
Alex has jumped out of bed as soon as Atkins and Olivia crashed on the floor. She grapes Olivia's shirt and pushes it on the gunshot wound in her stomach. With her other hand she pushes on the wound at Olivia's shoulder.
"Stay with me, Liv, stay with me." Alex says. With the fear clearly in her voice.
"I'm sorry, Lex. I had to do something." Olivia says. Her voice rasps.
"Don't talk honey, safe your breath. Just stay with me." Alex answers.
In the mean time Amanda called 911.
"911. What is your emergency?" A female voice asks.
"This is Detective Rollins, Manhattan SVU. I need a bus at 46 W 78 th street. Officer down with a gunshot wound. I also need the bomb squad there."
"Ambulance will be there in 5 minutes, Detective."
"Thank you." Amanda says before hanging up.
She arrives at the safe house and jumps out of the car and runs to the front door. The front door is open and Amanda runs inside calling for Alex and Olivia.
"Alex, Olivia? Where are you?" Amanda asks.
"We are upstairs in the master bedroom. Hurry up Amanda." Alex answers back.
Amanda runs upstairs and to the bedroom. When she walks inside she sees Atkins lying. Dead. She walks to Alex and Olivia. Pulls of her jacket and puts it on Olivia's shoulder pushing on the gunshot wound.
Fin and Munch arrives 30 seconds after Amanda. They see the open door and run inside. They hear the voices of Alex and Amanda upstairs and run upstairs. When they enter the bedroom they see Olivia lying down with Alex and Amanda with her. Fin speaks up first.
"What the hell happened here."
"Go outside. Atkins has a bomb and Olivia has the controller in her hand." Amanda answers.
They step back to the door opening.
Olivia starts to close and open her eyes.
"Liv, stay with me. Come on honey, stay with me. Stay awake, look at me, Liv." Alex says to Olivia. Trying to keep the Detective awake.
Olivia turns her head to Alex and looks Alex in her eyes.
"That's it, Liv. Just look at me." Alex says.
Amanda talks to Fin and Munch.
"She have a gunshot wound in her stomach and her right shoulder. Somehow she managed to catch the controller. Atkins threatened to have his way with Alex and that's when it went wrong. I don't know what Olivia did. But that's when Atkins said that she was gonna pay for that and then I heard three gunshots. Olivia called me just before Atkins came upstairs and hided her cellphone. We need to get her and Alex out of here ASAP."
"I'm going downstairs for the paramedics. Get them upstairs." Fin says and walks downstairs.
"When the paramedics are here I take the controller out of Olivia's hand and wait here for the bomb squad. You go downstairs with them." Munch says to Amanda.
He didn't even try to get Alex out of the room now. Knowing there was no way in hell that the blond ADA would leave Olivia.
Fin went outside waiting for the paramedics to arrive when Cragen arrives. He gets out of cars and walks to Fin.
"What happened? How are Alex and Olivia?" Cragen asks Fin.
"Atkins got into the house and found Alex and Olivia in the master bedroom upstairs. Atkins is dead. Liv shot him. But before she shot him he shot her twice. She has a gunshot wound in her stomach and her shoulder. Atkins has a bomb on his body. Liv managed to catch the controller. Alex is not wounded. Liv called Amanda and hided her cellphone so Amanda could hear everything. Munch is upstairs with Amanda, Alex and Liv." Fin explained.
"Damn it." Cragen cursed.
"Why are you outside?" Cragen asks.
"Waiting for the paramedics to arrive and take them upstairs. They should be here soon." Fin answers.
Upstairs in the bedroom Alex and Amanda keep trying to stop the bleeding of Olivia's gunshot wounds.
"Where is that damn Ambulance?" Alex asks.
"They should be here anytime now." Amanda answers.
"Lex." Olivia whispers.
"Liv, stay with me honey. They are almost here. Look at me, Liv." Alex says.
Olivia looks at Alex. Brown eyes look in cerulean eyes.
"Lex, I love you." Olivia whispers.
"I love you too, Liv. Stay with me honey. Stay with me." Alex answers.
"I love you, Lex. Don't forget that." Olivia whispers and loses consciousness .
