"Hey." Melinda's voice is like a whisper.

"Hey, Mel. How are you feeling?" I ask, as Fin and Carisi close the door behind us. Nick is outside of Amanda's room, he would come later, after the excitement had passed.

"I have been better." She laughs. "I need chocolate."

"We'll buy you some, the moment we step from outside the hospital." Fin promises.

There is a long silence hanging in the air between us, like a sloth, dangling from a tree, about to fall.

"I'll- I'll get you a cup of coffee, Liv." Fin says.

"And mine without any milk or sugar, please." Carisi ads, turning to him.

Fun grabs his arm. "You are coming with me to get the coffee."

The moment they step outside ant the door closes behind us, Melinda starts to laugh. "Humor never leaves."

I laugh. "Never." I open my eyes, to Melinda sobbing. "Hey, hey. It's alright, you are safe." I take her hand in mine. "You are okay."

"No. No. No." She starts to panic. "I need to get away from you. He said no cops." Melinda starts to play around with the tubes. "Or he will punish me. He will be angry. I need to find him."

She manages to pick the needle from her skin and throws it away. She takes the thing at the edge of her finger away and the machine next to her goes off. The heart-piercing long bip is to be heard, as if she were dead.

Such an irony, that Olivia considered Melinda dead on the inside.
