Ch. 15- Saved by Someone Who Loves Me

(Elliot POV)

**Hospital**

"Family for Ms. Benson?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

"Ah, yes, you're noted as her next of kin. Please come with me."

"Um, we're her family, all of us. We're all she has," Elliot said, "Would you mind if they listen too?"

"It's against protocol, but okay. I'll just tell you here," Dr. Anderson added,"she has 5 sprained ribs, fractured shin, lacerations on her wrists, many bruises on her face and torso. It's not good, but she's alive. She'll need to stay for a couple days."

"Was she...was she raped?" Elliot's voice cracked.

"No, there was no signs of vaginal trauma." There was a collective sigh of relief between the four detectives. "Um, she's asleep right now, but she'll be coming out of anesthetics soon. You can go in one at a time."

Cragen, Fin, and Munch looked at Elliot. "You can go in first, you're her partner," Cragen said. Elliot nodded and followed Dr. Anderson to ICU.
