Hush

Part 10

Elliot was asleep in the break room; Finn came in the room frantically

"Elliot wake up and come on" Finn said shaking him awake

"What's going on Finn" he asked rubbing one eye sitting up Finn turned on the TV that was in there

"it seem that Brian Fisherton's country home was caught on fire last night around midnight last night" the reporter said

"She better not be dead" Elliot jumped up screaming and walking down the hall the captain stopped him

"Were are you going detective" he said to him

"Going to tell him that he killed a fellow detective" Elliot said storming off

"Finn you go to and watch him" the captain said, they went down the private holding cell which had Brain in it

"Hello detective" he said sitting up on his cot

"So we got some news got you" Elliot snarled

"What that some other lie about how I get special treatment" he asked them

"No nothing like it, I came down here to inform you that because of you Amanda is dead" Elliot yelled. Brain just looked at him

"D-dead..." he said quietly "Why how" he asked

"There was a fire in your country home were you were holding her" Elliot told him

"No they found me, dammit" he said

"Who found you" Finn asked him

"The loan sharks, I owed them 10,000 dollars and they told me if I didn't pay them back they would make me pay" he said

"You owed them money" Elliot asked

"Yea I have a gambling problem, so I borrowed money from them" he said

"So now you have a cop's murder hanging over your head you're lucky to escape with a needle in your arm" Elliot growled walking out

"Elliot what if she escaped and got out" Finn asked

"That will be a miracle Finn he had her chained like an animal so she couldn't escape" Elliot told him they walked back into the office, he sat down at his desk and looked at his files. He just kept looking over them trying to ignore the pain that his partner is dead

"This is all my fault, I should have stayed with her" he said quietly

"Elliot?" a woman said behind him. He turned around and it was Kathy

"I haven't seen you in a while the kids miss you" she said to him putting her hand on his shoulder

"Kathy I can't do this I just figured out that my partner died in a fire and it was my fault" Elliot said

"Elliot honey this case is over there is nothing that you can do now" Kathy said putting her hand on his shoulder. He snatched away from her

"Kathy stop I can't do this right now just leave" Elliot said she looked at him shocked "Kathy leave please" he told her she huffed and walked out, then Elliot's phone rang

"Stabler" he said into the phone

"Elliot please help me..." the voice said he knew that voice

"Amanda is that you where are you please tell me" he yelled into the phone, there was coughing on the other end of the phone and then it clicked hanging up

"Captain, Finn, Munch come here now" Elliot yelled they all came running in the room

"She isn't dead" he told them

"Elliot I know we can't believe it either but she is gone" Munch said

"No, no listen to me the only other person that has my cellphone number memorized besides my wife is Amanda; she called me just a second ago"

"She is alive?" Finn asked

"Yes she asked me to help her and I don't know how I don't know where she is" Elliot said to them

"We will find her Elliot now that we know she is alive we will plaster her face everywhere on the news" Munch said as he called the press and was talking to a reporter

"I will handle the press conference" captain said looking at his feet and walking to his office

"I can't believe she escaped that she is sure a trooper" Finn said to Elliot, Elliot was ecstatic but not the slightest bit hopeful due to the fact that she was out there, with her medical condition amongst the junkies and the other rapists, it was also so cold outside frost bite is a huge concern.
