Law and Order SVU - Letters to Him

Part 1 - Elliot Leaves

"Liv." Captain Donald Cragen said as he walked back to his office.

"Nice working with you," said Munch with his smart comments.

"I don't think that she was lying about being raped." I said as soon as I walked into his office.

"Would you shut the door please?" He asks, turning around.

"Elliot put his papers in," Captian says a few moments after the door was closed, as if he was trying to gain some composure before he told me. "There was nothing I could do."

"He's earned it," I say trying to wrap my head around what he just told me.

"And then some," he says. All I do is stand there slightly nodding.

"You wanna talk?" He asks.

"No," I say shaking my head ever so slightly.

"You wanna take a day?" He asks, looking sympathetic.

"I'm fine." I reply trying to hold back tears.

"Liv..." He says. "I'm sorry."

After he says that I smile a sad, quick smile and leave his office.

"You okay?" Fin asks on my way back to my desk.

"Yeah," I say resting my hands on my desk.

"Be right there," Munch says putting down the phone. "Got a ten thirty-four on Waverly."

"Fin, take Rollins." Munch says after seeing the far away look on my face.

"No, I'll go," I say right as Fin is getting out of his chair.

"Give me five, and we'll roll." Fin nods.

Next thing I know is that I am in an interrogation room trying to keep my composure, crying over the partner that I had for 12 long years and the fact that he left and never said goodbye.

"Oh, Liv. Come here." I didn't even know that someone had walked in until I heard Don's voice in my head.

As I turned I tucked my head in the crook of Don's neck and started crying hysterically.

"Go home so you can process everything, I will be by to check on you later." Don said when I had finally calmed down. All I could do was nod and head out of the interrogation room.

"Fin, take Rollins to investigate that ten thirty-four on Waverly." Don said when we reached the desks.

As I grabbed my coat and purse, I felt Don's hand on my back between my shoulder blades. "I will stop by around 7:00pm." Nodding I walked out of the precinct.

Since my car was in the shop today, I had taken a cab to work this morning. As I stepped out of the precinct, I decided to take the longer way home so that I could clear my head. When I started walking, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around, but nobody was there. Just an empty sidewalk, an empty hole. I kept walking, and as soon as I got home I broke down crying before I even stepped into the house.
