He’s Back
“Where are toi always at huh?!?!” screamed Kathy as she and Elliot were coming back from a parent teacher conference. “Kathy how many times do I have to tell toi I was working!!” shot back a fuming Elliot. “Oh please same story, I know that toi go out with your buddies for drinks when toi should be at home! ou better yet my main theory is that you’re always with her!” “With who?!?!” “Olivia, Who else?!?!” “You know what Kath your right! I am always with Liv, maybe because she’s my partner!!!” Elliot fired. “That doesn’t make her your responsibility!!” yelled Kathy “Kathy it is my job to protect her and make sure that she is safe!!!” screamed Elliot “and toi know what Kathy I failed, I couldn’t keep her safe, and now my best friend is in shambles!!! So toi know…” Elliot was cut off par his ringing cell phone. The car went silent except for that phone as Elliot and Kathy glared at each other. Finally Elliot answered the phone, “Stabler.” Kathy continued to glare as Elliot got a shocked, and angry look on his face, “What do toi mean he escaped captain? How?!?” “They are still trying to figure it out Elliot, all we know is that Harris escaped about an heure ago.” As Elliot processed this with Kathy continuing to glare as though the call was a great annoyance, then a completely worried and scared look engulfed Elliot’s face, “Captain, where’s Liv?” Kathy let out an annoyed groan. “That’s the problem Elliot, no one can find her, her cell phone’s off, and Harris sent a death threat for her about ten minutes ago.” answered the captain. “No one can find her!? Well where the hell have toi looked?!” asked Elliot bold somewhat angry tone. “Her apartment, Maloney’s, we even checked her mom’s grave Elliot we can’t find her.” “Well what did she say before she left?” “She a dit she just needed to think” answered the captain in a confused tone “why?” “I know where she is.” a dit Elliot as he pulled out of where he was parked and started down the street, faster than he probably should have been going. “What?! Where?” asked the skeptical captain. “She’s probably sitting on the bench in front of a fontaine in central park that she and I go to when we just need to take a step back.” Kathy then glared at him again. “Well see if she is there, and keep me informed.” a dit the captain before he hung up. Elliot put the phone back as he fought through traffic toward the park. “What do toi want Kathy?” asked Elliot angrily as he notice that she was glaring at him again. “I knew it! I knew toi were always out with her!!!!” “Kathy, I don’t have time for this right now!!” “Oh yeah I’m sure toi don’t…” Elliot cut her off “Kathy! We go on our lunch breaks sometimes!! In this job sometimes toi need to talk to someone!!!” “So toi talk to her instead of me!?!” “Yes Kathy, I can’t talk to toi about this, I refuse to bring accueil the horrors of my job! And toi know what, it is down right impossible for me to talk to you!” shot back Elliot as they neared the park. “Why not!?!” “Because toi always turn it into some wild accusation about me and toi know what, I’m tired of it!!” Elliot caught sight of Olivia sitting on the bench as he pulled up to the curb “stay here and lock the doors Kathy!!” Elliot jumped out of the car with Kathy still sending him the death glare, and ran up to the bench Olivia was sitting on. “Liv!” he called as he ran up to her. Olivia looked up from the bench “El what are toi doing here?” she asked as she looked over her shoulder toward his car “And why does Kathy look so mad?” a dit Olivia as she looked at Elliot skeptically. “I’ll explain later,” Elliot sat kneeled down in front of her and looked into Olivia’s confused eyes before he a dit this “Liv, Harris escaped.” This took Olivia completely off guard. “Wait what!?” asked Olivia in a surprised and scared tone. “Liv he escaped, he sent a death threat for toi about twelve minutes ago, I have to get toi out of here.” Elliot stood up and held out his hand to help Olivia up. Olivia took his hand and they ran to the car. Olivia got into the back siège as Elliot got into the drivers. Kathy just looked out the window. Elliot pulled out onto the rue and towards the precinct. “Kathy put your head down!” Kathy looked at him as though he were an idiot “why?” “Because...” Elliot was cut off par two gunshots. Kathy screamed as Elliot skidded into a curb and the rear window shattered. Kathy put her head down as Elliot looked to the back seat, “LIV!!” screamed Elliot as he jumped into the backseat whipping out his radio in the process. Olivia laid unconscious on her back in the backseat, there was blood gushing from a gunshot wound in her shoulder. Elliot put pressure on Olivia’s shoulder as he spoke into the radio, “Officer down!! I repeat, Officer down!!! I need a bus!” “Copy detective bus is in route” the response could be heard as Elliot checked for a pulse.
Back at the 1-6 everyone in the SVU squad room looked worried and scared as they recognized Elliot’s frantic voice as it came over their radios “Officer down!! I repeat, Officer down!!! I need a bus!” the squad room was silent as the response came “Copy detective bus is in route.” Complete and utter silence fell over the svu until their captain spoke “She won’t go down without a fight.” Silence.
“Kathy I a dit get down!” a dit Elliot as he started CPR. “Come on Liv come on,” mumbled Elliot. Elliot gave her mouth to mouth one plus time when Olivia coughed. A look of relief washed over his face until he noticed that Olivia was frantically trying to tell him something, “Can’t…..breathe” Olivia choked out. “Crap,” then Elliot thought of something they taught in the Academy in case of situations like this, “Liv I am going to be your breath ok.” Olivia nodded. Elliot started mouth to mouth again in a frantic fight to keep Olivia conscious and alive as he heard the sirens approaching. ‘They’re almost here Liv we’re going to get through this ok?” Olivia nodded as Elliot continued mouth to mouth. Kathy got out of the car and opened the rear door as the ambulance pulled up. The paramedics jumped out one backed Kathy away as the other two ran to the backseat. “What do we got?” “Gunshot wound to the right shoulder,” Elliot paused to give Olivia another breath, when he saw the paramedics looking at him skeptically he said, “and she can’t breathe.” A look of recognition washed over the paramedic’s faces as one turned around and a dit “we need a respirator!” They carefully lifted her out of the car as Elliot continued mouth to mouth. Once in the ambulance they made the switch to respirator, “1,2,3, switch!” the paramedics worked fast “she’s slipping!” a dit one ”few plus inches,” mumbled the other, “got it!” Olivia’s breathing slowly went back to normal. “Detective Stabler!” yelled a paramedic “yeah?” “Talk to her! Make sure she doesn’t go to sleep!” “Got it,” Elliot took Olivia’s hand and looked down at her, when she looked up he a dit “Liv you’ve got to stay awake for me ok?” she nodded “Alright I’m going to call the precinct for an update.” she nodded again. The phone rang and rang until finally came the captains voice saying “Manhattan SVU.” “Cap?” “Elliot what’s going on?” “Liv was…” Elliot noticed that Olivia was closing her eyes, “Liv toi have to stay awake, come on” she opened her eyes once again “Liv was on the bench, I got her into the..., Liv come on sweetie stay awake, I got her into the car and we were pulling away, she was in the back siège and.., Liv!” Olivia suddenly jerked her eyes closed and her whole body started shaking, “She’s crashing!” yelled a paramedic, “Cap, I have to call toi back” Elliot hung up the phone as a paramedic yelled “clear!!” as they tried to shock Olivia’s cœur, coeur back to life, “beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.” They turned up the voltage, “clear, 1, 2, 3,”mumbled the paramedic, relief washed over Elliot as he heard a “beep, beep, beep” come from the cœur, coeur monitor as they pulled up to Mercy General.
The svu bullpen was still sitting in complete silence until the phone on Elliot’s bureau began to ring, the captain answered “Manhattan SVU.” Captain Cragen was both relieved and shocked when he heard Elliot’s still slightly frantic voice over the phone “Cap?” the captain switched to speaker, “Elliot what’s going on?” the bullpen listening intently for the news, “Liv was… Liv toi have to stay awake, come on.” There was a pause “Liv was on the bench, I got her into the..., Liv come on sweetie stay awake, I got her into the car and we were pulling away, she was in the back siège and.., Liv!” The bullpen was suddenly full of the sound of commotion in the ambulance, they could hear the cœur, coeur monitor going crazy and things moving everywhere “She’s crashing!” they heard someone yell, “Cap, I have to call toi back” the last thing that squad room heard was a voice yell “clear!!” over the commotion and the line went dead. Back to silence.
They unhooked Olivia from the respirator and quickly got her out of the ambulance. Elliot helped wheel Olivia into the hospital and watched her be wheeled all the way through the doors with doctors all around giving her CPR and yelling so many things he couldn’t comprehend because his mind was moving too fast. He walked into the waiting room. He sat down and put his head in his hands. About twenty minutes after he sat down Kathy walked in. “Elliot.” She a dit in a bold voice. He slowly raised his head and a dit “Yes, Kathy.” She held out some papers, Elliot took them “divorce papers.” “Yes Elliot I realize who toi care about plus in this world.” “What?!?” “I’m done Elliot, I can’t take this anymore, your crazy job, the constant anger, and the fact that toi are completely and utterly in l’amour with Olivia.” “Wai…” He was cut off par Kathy. “It’s ok Elliot I have come to accept it, and toi know what, I’m fine, now we can both déplacer on and be with someone that we truly love,” Elliot just looked at her, “just sign the papers Elliot, please.” He looked down at the papers and back at Kathy, then back at the papers but this time he took a pen and he signed them. “Thank you,” Kathy started to leave a shocked Elliot when she turned around and said, “Hey El?” “Yeah” “When she wakes up can toi ask her to do something for me?” she asked. “Um yeah sure, what is it?” “Tell her that I want her to call me someday, and attempt to explain toi to me, because she already knows plus than I do.” And with that she left. Elliot sat back down and tried to comprehend what had just happened. To get his mind off of it he decided to call the captain. After a few rings he picked up, “Cragen.” “Hey cap.” “Elliot what is going on where are you?” “I’m at mercy general in the trauma ward; I’ll explain plus when toi get here.” The captain informed the rest of the squad and they all left for the hospital.
About an heure later Elliot was sitting still thinking, but most of all waiting for news when Fin, Munch, and the Captain walked in. “Elliot?” called the cap. “Hey cap.” “Hey, now that the reunion is over, spill, what’s going on? We’re all ears.” a dit Munch. “Well Olivia was on the bench in the park, and I told her what was going on. So we got into the car. Olivia was in the backseat, I was driving, and Kathy was in the front seat.” “Wow, wow, wow, Kathy was with you? Where is she now? Is she all right?” asked the captain. “She’s fine she’s probably giving the divorce papers to her lawyer right now.” “What?!” “Long story, anyway, I pulled out and told Kathy to get down, she asked me why. Then we heard the gunshots. Two gunshots were fired; all I could hear was Kathy screaming and a window shattering. I looked into the backseat. Liv was unconscious bleeding from her shoulder. After I put pressure on her shoulder I called for the bus. Then after I had been doing CPR for a while I finally got a cough, and she woke up, but she couldn’t breathe. I started doing the technique they taught us in the academy about being the other persons breath, and it worked, I did that until the bus came. They got her out and stabilized and that is when I called you. After that she started to crash, they just finally got her cœur, coeur to beat again when we pulled up to the hospital. They wheeled her inside, and that is the last I have seen of her since.” He finished. “Wow, and no news.” asked Munch “No” “So what do we do now?” Munch asked the captain. “We wait.”
It seemed like an eternity in that waiting room until finally a doctor came in. “Is there an Elliot Stabler in here?” He asked “Yeah that’s me, how is she doc?” Elliot asked standing up. “Well, she Lost a lot of blood, but she’s a fighter. She made it through surgery and is awake and stable now, but we would like to keep her overnight for observation.” The doctor replied. “The only potentially ongoing problem is that the bullet did hit the slightest bit of muscle in her shoulder, we asked her and she can déplacer it, but um,” he pointed to Cragen “are toi her captain?” “Yes I am.” He answered “I am recommending as a precaution that she take the firing test one plus time, but I am sure she will pass it with flying colors.” “Sure doc I’ll get her in there as soon as I can.” a dit the captain. “I appreciate it, but she is in otherwise fine condition.” a dit the doctor. Elliot spoke up “can we see her doctor?” “Sure, room 740” “Thank you” a dit all three men as they started to walk toward Olivia’s room.
When they finally reached Olivia’s room all of them approached it afraid of what they would find. When they walked in a few of them drew a breath. Olivia had a completely stitched and bandaged shoulder, and the IV in her arm, but they were somewhat relieved because they knew they had seen her worse. “Hey.” She a dit as they walked in. “Hey Liv, how toi feeling” the captain asked. “Like I’ve been shot” All four of them chuckled. “Hmm, are toi sure?” asked Munch sarcastically. “Shut up Munch” a dit Liv, she grabbed a oreiller with her good arm and hit him over the head. Elliot, Cragen, and Fin all laughed as Munch “Hey!,” Fin a dit “Now toi see Munch that was a good thing” “How was that?” “Well toi got hit over the head which is always a joy,” Elliot, Olivia, and Cragen all chuckled, “and it tells us that our baby girl’s still in there somewhere, glad your ok Liv.” “Thanks” At that moment Graylek entered the room, “Hey how toi doin?” “I’ve been better” the captain spoke up “Hey Graylek, sorry we forgot to call you.” “No problem, I just came to tell toi that they caught Harris and he is at the precinct waiting for interrogation, but he will only talk to Elliot.” “Why?” “No idea, but all of toi have had a big enough night, we’re going to keep him overnight and toi can talk to him tomorrow.” “Ok.” “Well feel better Olivia, I’ll see toi all tomorrow?” “Yeah.” With that she walked out of the room. Olivia looked over at Elliot “So toi saved my life, again.” “Ah, all in a day’s work.” She chuckled and gave Elliot a hug, “Thank you” she whispered. “No problem” he whispered back. After the hug the captain spoke up again “well we should give Liv a little rest and get outta here.” “Alright cap,” spoke Munch, “feel better Liv.” “Yeah, get some rest baby girl.” a dit Fin. toi coming’ Elliot?” asked the captain from the door. “I’ll see toi guys tomorrow, I’ve got to talk to Liv about something.” “Alright, just come to the precinct when she is released because I know that toi won’t leave until she is.” This made both Elliot and Olivia chuckle. “Alright cap.” “See toi tomorrow” and he left. Olivia looked over at Elliot “So what do toi want to talk to me about?” “This.” Elliot took off his wedding ring and put it on the bedside table. “Oh Elliot no. I’m so sorry.” “Eh, it was bound to happen.” “So why’d she do it?” “Well that was for another reason.” “And what reason would that be?” “This” Elliot bent down and softly kissed her. “oh.” a dit Olivia trying to comprehend the fact that Elliot had just kissed her. “But Elliot what about your family?” “Well they l’amour you, so this won’t be a problem,” They both smiled, “and we’re going to work out a joint custody plan.” “Elliot what about work?” No one has to know for know, but if they do ever find out, I’ve always wanted to give homicide a whirl.” Oh, no, no, no, toi are not giving toi job up, I’ll move.” “No I will.” “No I won’t let you.” “I’ll move.” Just as Olivia was about to argue back Elliot bent down and kissed her, they kissed for at least a minute until they finally parted, They were both smiling at each other until Olivia spoke “I’m moving.” Elliot started laughing, “Ha, we’ll figure that out later, right now toi are most likely starving, want some food?” “Um, sure.” “Alright I’ll be back in a few” he gave her a quick peck and started to leave. Right when he got to the door he turned around real quick and a dit “Liv?” “Yeah El?” “I’m moving.” And he took off down the hallway be for Olivia could finish her sentence. Watching him go Olivia let out a huge breath and smiled as she fell back onto her pillow.
The suivant morning Olivia was released and Elliot took her over to the precinct, “why do toi want to go so bad?” “To wish him a horrible and painful death.” After a few secondes of humorous tension they both started to laugh until they pulled up to the precinct. In the elevator Olivia let out a yawn “why do toi always seem to yawn in an elevator?” “What are toi talking about?” Olivia asked with a smile. “Well last week toi yawned in this very elevator too.” “Well maybe I am allergic to this very elevator.” They chuckled and stepped out of the elevator toward the squad room. When they walked in Olivia was greeted with so many hugs, and I’m glad your all rights that she started to get claustrophobic. “All right, all right, give the woman some air.” a dit the captain walking up to them. As the crowd disappeared he a dit “Well he’s in 1, toi sure toi want to watch this Liv?” “Yeah I’m sure.” “Well toi two go get your stuff out of the lit de bébé and meet me in there.” “Okay cap” they a dit in unison as they headed up to the crib.
Once they had all of their stuff secured Olivia turned to Elliot and a dit “Elliot please be careful for me” “Don’t worry Liv, I’m going to be fine.” He gave her a kiss. “Yeah, that’s what I a dit before I ran into him.” “Don’t worry Liv okay?” She took a deep breath, “Alright.” They left the lit de bébé and headed into interrogation room 1. Olivia caught sight of Harris through the one way and froze for a divisé, split second. The captain didn’t see it but Elliot did, “Liv toi sure toi want to do this?” “Yeah.” “Alright toi ready Elliot?” asked the captain. “Yeah” Right before Elliot was going to walk though the door the captain spoke “Elliot one favor,” “Yeah?” “Don’t kill him.” “Aw shucks that was my whole plan.” Olivia cut in “I am all up for the plan!” They all laughed “just get in there” a dit the captain. Elliot put on his mean face and walked in.
“Ah Elliot Stabler just the man I wanted to see, guess my victim was a little off on the timing though, not quite twenty years and what do toi know I ran into her at the park yesterday.” “So toi did shoot her?” “I know toi loved her but toi know what I’m sorry she’s dead because if she wasn’t then I could finish what I started.” Olivia clenched her fists behind the one way.” “Did toi shoot Olivia Benson Yesterday at 8:34pm?” asked a fuming Elliot in a menacing voice. “Yes.” Answered Harris. “That is all I needed to hear.” a dit Elliot “Detective, what would toi tell her if she wasn’t dead right now?” asked Harris from the other side of the table. “I’d say victory.” Harris let out a menacing smile. “I’d say victory too.” a dit Olivia as she walked into the room, Harris looked up with his mouth hanging open in surprise at Olivia, “you miss me?” she asked him. “Hell no! toi can’t be alive I shot you!” He a dit “Yeah toi did,” Olivia lifted her sleeve to montrer the bandaged shoulder, “Too bad toi missed.” Harris sat there with his mouth hanging open for a few plus minutes until he got the same crazy look in his eye “Well good because now I can finish what I started.” The suivant events happened in a divisé, split second, Harris pushed the table, tableau into Elliot knocking him over and ran after Olivia. Olivia grabbed Harris’s arm and somehow flipped him onto his stomach and got him in cuffs. When he was in cuffs and things had settled down. Olivia bent down suivant to Harris’s ear and a dit “I’m a much better fighter when I’m not handcuffed to a door.” And jerked him back standing. She handed him off to the Captain who was waiting at the door “I will get toi Olivia Benson!” He screamed as the captain led him to be taken to booking. “Have a horrible death!” she replied. After he was out of the room Olivia walked over to Elliot and helped him up “You alright?” she asked him. “Never better, you?” “I’m perfect.” “So toi had fun huh?” “Best time of my life.”
While Elliot was being checked out real quick par some paramedics Olivia was sitting at her desk. She grabbed the phone and dialed a number. After a few rings she picked up “Hello?” “Hey Kathy.” “Oh, Hi Olivia, toi all right?” “Yeah I’m fine.” “Did he tell toi yet?” “About the divorce, yeah but I could have figured that out without him telling me.” “Yeah I knew he would tell toi that, I’m talking about the other thing.” “Um, yeah he told me about that too but no one can find out so keep it quiet ok?” “Yeah, I’m just glad he finally told you.” “Yeah, so toi asked me for a favor.” “Um, yeah.” “Well toi might want to sit down because this is going to take awhile.”
The End
“Where are toi always at huh?!?!” screamed Kathy as she and Elliot were coming back from a parent teacher conference. “Kathy how many times do I have to tell toi I was working!!” shot back a fuming Elliot. “Oh please same story, I know that toi go out with your buddies for drinks when toi should be at home! ou better yet my main theory is that you’re always with her!” “With who?!?!” “Olivia, Who else?!?!” “You know what Kath your right! I am always with Liv, maybe because she’s my partner!!!” Elliot fired. “That doesn’t make her your responsibility!!” yelled Kathy “Kathy it is my job to protect her and make sure that she is safe!!!” screamed Elliot “and toi know what Kathy I failed, I couldn’t keep her safe, and now my best friend is in shambles!!! So toi know…” Elliot was cut off par his ringing cell phone. The car went silent except for that phone as Elliot and Kathy glared at each other.

After I put pressure on her shoulder I called for the bus. Then after I had been doing CPR for a while I finally got a cough, and she woke up, but she couldn’t breathe. I started doing the technique they taught us in the academy about being the other persons breath, and it worked, I did that until the bus came. They got her out and stabilized and that is when I called you. After that she started to crash, they just finally got her cœur, coeur to beat again when we pulled up to the hospital. They wheeled her inside, and that is the last I have seen of her since.” He finished. “Wow, and no news.” asked Munch “No” “So what do we do now?” Munch asked the captain. “We wait.”
It seemed like an eternity in that waiting room until finally a doctor came in. “Is there an Elliot Stabler in here?” He asked “Yeah that’s me, how is she doc?” Elliot asked standing up. “Well, she Lost a lot of blood, but she’s a fighter. She made it through surgery and is awake and stable now, but we would like to keep her overnight for observation.” The doctor replied. “The only potentially ongoing problem is that the bullet did hit the slightest bit of muscle in her shoulder, we asked her and she can déplacer it, but um,” he pointed to Cragen “are toi her captain?” “Yes I am.” He answered “I am recommending as a precaution that she take the firing test one plus time, but I am sure she will pass it with flying colors.” “Sure doc I’ll get her in there as soon as I can.” a dit the captain. “I appreciate it, but she is in otherwise fine condition.” a dit the doctor. Elliot spoke up “can we see her doctor?” “Sure, room 740” “Thank you” a dit all three men as they started to walk toward Olivia’s room.
When they finally reached Olivia’s room all of them approached it afraid of what they would find. When they walked in a few of them drew a breath. Olivia had a completely stitched and bandaged shoulder, and the IV in her arm, but they were somewhat relieved because they knew they had seen her worse. “Hey.” She a dit as they walked in. “Hey Liv, how toi feeling” the captain asked. “Like I’ve been shot” All four of them chuckled. “Hmm, are toi sure?” asked Munch sarcastically. “Shut up Munch” a dit Liv, she grabbed a oreiller with her good arm and hit him over the head. Elliot, Cragen, and Fin all laughed as Munch “Hey!,” Fin a dit “Now toi see Munch that was a good thing” “How was that?” “Well toi got hit over the head which is always a joy,” Elliot, Olivia, and Cragen all chuckled, “and it tells us that our baby girl’s still in there somewhere, glad your ok Liv.” “Thanks” At that moment Graylek entered the room, “Hey how toi doin?” “I’ve been better” the captain spoke up “Hey Graylek, sorry we forgot to call you.” “No problem, I just came to tell toi that they caught Harris and he is at the precinct waiting for interrogation, but he will only talk to Elliot.” “Why?” “No idea, but all of toi have had a big enough night, we’re going to keep him overnight and toi can talk to him tomorrow.” “Ok.” “Well feel better Olivia, I’ll see toi all tomorrow?” “Yeah.” With that she walked out of the room. Olivia looked over at Elliot “So toi saved my life, again.” “Ah, all in a day’s work.” She chuckled and gave Elliot a hug, “Thank you” she whispered. “No problem” he whispered back. After the hug the captain spoke up again “well we should give Liv a little rest and get outta here.” “Alright cap,” spoke Munch, “feel better Liv.” “Yeah, get some rest baby girl.” a dit Fin. toi coming’ Elliot?” asked the captain from the door. “I’ll see toi guys tomorrow, I’ve got to talk to Liv about something.” “Alright, just come to the precinct when she is released because I know that toi won’t leave until she is.” This made both Elliot and Olivia chuckle. “Alright cap.” “See toi tomorrow” and he left. Olivia looked over at Elliot “So what do toi want to talk to me about?” “This.” Elliot took off his wedding ring and put it on the bedside table. “Oh Elliot no. I’m so sorry.” “Eh, it was bound to happen.” “So why’d she do it?” “Well that was for another reason.” “And what reason would that be?” “This” Elliot bent down and softly kissed her. “oh.” a dit Olivia trying to comprehend the fact that Elliot had just kissed her. “But Elliot what about your family?” “Well they l’amour you, so this won’t be a problem,” They both smiled, “and we’re going to work out a joint custody plan.” “Elliot what about work?” No one has to know for know, but if they do ever find out, I’ve always wanted to give homicide a whirl.” Oh, no, no, no, toi are not giving toi job up, I’ll move.” “No I will.” “No I won’t let you.” “I’ll move.” Just as Olivia was about to argue back Elliot bent down and kissed her, they kissed for at least a minute until they finally parted, They were both smiling at each other until Olivia spoke “I’m moving.” Elliot started laughing, “Ha, we’ll figure that out later, right now toi are most likely starving, want some food?” “Um, sure.” “Alright I’ll be back in a few” he gave her a quick peck and started to leave. Right when he got to the door he turned around real quick and a dit “Liv?” “Yeah El?” “I’m moving.” And he took off down the hallway be for Olivia could finish her sentence. Watching him go Olivia let out a huge breath and smiled as she fell back onto her pillow.
The suivant morning Olivia was released and Elliot took her over to the precinct, “why do toi want to go so bad?” “To wish him a horrible and painful death.” After a few secondes of humorous tension they both started to laugh until they pulled up to the precinct. In the elevator Olivia let out a yawn “why do toi always seem to yawn in an elevator?” “What are toi talking about?” Olivia asked with a smile. “Well last week toi yawned in this very elevator too.” “Well maybe I am allergic to this very elevator.” They chuckled and stepped out of the elevator toward the squad room. When they walked in Olivia was greeted with so many hugs, and I’m glad your all rights that she started to get claustrophobic. “All right, all right, give the woman some air.” a dit the captain walking up to them. As the crowd disappeared he a dit “Well he’s in 1, toi sure toi want to watch this Liv?” “Yeah I’m sure.” “Well toi two go get your stuff out of the lit de bébé and meet me in there.” “Okay cap” they a dit in unison as they headed up to the crib.
Once they had all of their stuff secured Olivia turned to Elliot and a dit “Elliot please be careful for me” “Don’t worry Liv, I’m going to be fine.” He gave her a kiss. “Yeah, that’s what I a dit before I ran into him.” “Don’t worry Liv okay?” She took a deep breath, “Alright.” They left the lit de bébé and headed into interrogation room 1. Olivia caught sight of Harris through the one way and froze for a divisé, split second. The captain didn’t see it but Elliot did, “Liv toi sure toi want to do this?” “Yeah.” “Alright toi ready Elliot?” asked the captain. “Yeah” Right before Elliot was going to walk though the door the captain spoke “Elliot one favor,” “Yeah?” “Don’t kill him.” “Aw shucks that was my whole plan.” Olivia cut in “I am all up for the plan!” They all laughed “just get in there” a dit the captain. Elliot put on his mean face and walked in.
“Ah Elliot Stabler just the man I wanted to see, guess my victim was a little off on the timing though, not quite twenty years and what do toi know I ran into her at the park yesterday.” “So toi did shoot her?” “I know toi loved her but toi know what I’m sorry she’s dead because if she wasn’t then I could finish what I started.” Olivia clenched her fists behind the one way.” “Did toi shoot Olivia Benson Yesterday at 8:34pm?” asked a fuming Elliot in a menacing voice. “Yes.” Answered Harris. “That is all I needed to hear.” a dit Elliot “Detective, what would toi tell her if she wasn’t dead right now?” asked Harris from the other side of the table. “I’d say victory.” Harris let out a menacing smile. “I’d say victory too.” a dit Olivia as she walked into the room, Harris looked up with his mouth hanging open in surprise at Olivia, “you miss me?” she asked him. “Hell no! toi can’t be alive I shot you!” He a dit “Yeah toi did,” Olivia lifted her sleeve to montrer the bandaged shoulder, “Too bad toi missed.” Harris sat there with his mouth hanging open for a few plus minutes until he got the same crazy look in his eye “Well good because now I can finish what I started.” The suivant events happened in a divisé, split second, Harris pushed the table, tableau into Elliot knocking him over and ran after Olivia. Olivia grabbed Harris’s arm and somehow flipped him onto his stomach and got him in cuffs. When he was in cuffs and things had settled down. Olivia bent down suivant to Harris’s ear and a dit “I’m a much better fighter when I’m not handcuffed to a door.” And jerked him back standing. She handed him off to the Captain who was waiting at the door “I will get toi Olivia Benson!” He screamed as the captain led him to be taken to booking. “Have a horrible death!” she replied. After he was out of the room Olivia walked over to Elliot and helped him up “You alright?” she asked him. “Never better, you?” “I’m perfect.” “So toi had fun huh?” “Best time of my life.”
While Elliot was being checked out real quick par some paramedics Olivia was sitting at her desk. She grabbed the phone and dialed a number. After a few rings she picked up “Hello?” “Hey Kathy.” “Oh, Hi Olivia, toi all right?” “Yeah I’m fine.” “Did he tell toi yet?” “About the divorce, yeah but I could have figured that out without him telling me.” “Yeah I knew he would tell toi that, I’m talking about the other thing.” “Um, yeah he told me about that too but no one can find out so keep it quiet ok?” “Yeah, I’m just glad he finally told you.” “Yeah, so toi asked me for a favor.” “Um, yeah.” “Well toi might want to sit down because this is going to take awhile.”
The End
