Elliot looked at his partner hanging on to life in his arms, her body was frail and she was pale. She had a gunshot wound to her right thigh that was bleeding profusely. She was in a black oversized hoodie and sweats. She was barely breathing
"Detective you need to move so we can help her" a paramedic said resting his hand on Elliot shoulder, he nodded. He put her down and stepped back a tear fell down his face
"She's coding we have to go!" the paramedic yelled everyone got out of the way and they put her on a gurney and raced out of the house
"Are you okay Elliot?" Captain asked him Elliot looked at his hands. They were covered in blood
"She was cold... Captain" Elliot said quietly
"Elliot she will make it she made it this long" Captain said sympathetically
"Cold means she's dying" Elliot said
"Go to the hospital will meet you there" captain told him Elliot went to the hospital and met Finn there
"They took her into surgery because of the bullet wound on her leg she lost half of her blood volume they are shocked that she survived that long they don't know if she will make it Elliot" Finn said
"Are you here for Amanda?" a surgeon asked they nodded "Come this way with me so we can talk" he led them to a consult room and closed the door behind them
"Is she okay?" Elliot asked
"She is stable for now she had a huge hole from the gunshot that blew through her femur and lost a lot of blood due to her injury, we have put her in a medical induced coma to speed up the healing process but don't get your hopes up the future looks grim" he told them
"Can we go see her" Finn asked
"Yes, and we did a rape kit in the OR, there was fluids present" the surgeon told them
"We know she would have them, what room is she in" Elliot asked
"She is in the ICU if you go up there, a nurse will tell you which room" the surgeon nodded and walked out. As they were walking out of the consultant room captain walked up to them
"What's going on" he said
"She has lost a lot of blood and she has a hole blew through her femur" Finn told the captain
"Ouch where is she at" captain said grimacing as they began walking
"She is in the ICU we are going there now" Finn replied Elliot was quiet he looked pale
"Elliot are you okay?" they asked he just ignored them and stared off into the silvery elevator door, they reached the third floor and they stepped out
"Elliot are you ready?" Finn asked he nodded and they walked through the push door. They stopped at the desk and asked the nurse where Amanda Shepard was
"Down the hall and the last door on the left, I would tell her what you have to say now just in case she doesn't wake up" the nurse said stapling papers together. The whole group went pale they walked down the hall the lights flickered above them making a slight buzzing sound. They reached the room and walked in it. She was laid up on the hospital bed with tubes and wires coming off of her in all directions.
Elliot walked up to her and touched her hair
"Amanda please pull through this, this is all my fault" he said he broke down into tears the captain and Finn both put their hands on his back and tried to reassure him she was going to be okay, he disagreed.
Elliot sat there for days waiting to see any type of improvement, it seemed like years. He was asleep in his chair right beside her bed, she began to cough and thrash all of the machines went off. Elliot shot up and called a nurse
"What's the matter?" she said rushing in
"She is thrashing around I think she is seizing" Elliot stammered
"No actually she isn't, she is waking up" she ran to the door way
"Doctor come quick Miss Shepard is waking up" she called down the hall way. The doctors rushed in
"By god she survived!" one of them exclaimed
