{name:Livia#|#picture:37}In the dead silence of the night, a lone figure walked out of the entrance of the Precinct 16 Squad House, locking the door behind her. Olivia Novak, the newbie of the Squad, had stayed late finishing up with paperwork. It was nearing one in the morning and all the other members had long gone home by now. Except Olivia. Figures.
Livia tossed her brown curls and shoved her hands into the pockets of her mother's black trench coat. Even though it was nearing summer, it still felt a tad cold at night, hence the coat. She didn't bother calling her apartment, no one would answer the phone anyway, not even her cat. Oh well.
Livia started the twelve block walk home, keeping her hazel eyes carefully trained on the concrete before her. She kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with anyone who might be out by chance. Which in Manhattan, wasn't strange at all.
Why she didn't just stay in the crib never crossed her mind. She just wanted to get out of the Squad Room and go home. Liv had started to hum a song that she had heard on the radio earlier when she had been goofing off with Jean and Elliot. It was a catchy tune and she couldn't help singing it softly under her breath. While she was singing though, she did not notice the figure behind her, slowly creeping up on her.
By now, Olivia was halfway home, by the corner of 5th and Oak. She was just so out of it that she did not realize the figure behind her, until she was struck in the head from behind. Some cop, eh? She teetered unsteadily on her feet for a moment before spinning around to face her attacker, who promptly struck her again, this time in the face, with a large, round, metallic object. Olivia fell to the ground, unconscious before she hit the cold pavement. The attacker struck his victim thrice more. Once again in the head, and two to her abdominal area before unbuckling his belt buckle.
Fortunately an elderly woman had heard a commotion outside and peeked through her curtains. She immediately grabbed the phone and called the 911 as she watched in horror, the man trying to pull Olivia's skirt down. Moments slowly crept by, every second counting, before a police car came tearing up the street to where the man knelt above Olivia. The attacker heard the cops coming and ran away, leaving Olivia on the ground.
A cop took one look at her and immediately recognized her as part of the Special Victim's Unit. He blanched and grabbing his cell, called their captain, Don Cragen.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta was awakened by her phone, she leaned over Elliot to grab it. " Hello?" she answered the phone groggily. " She what? I'll be right there."
She hung up the phone and climbed out of bed, looking around for her clothes.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess literally ran down the stairs in her apartment building and threw herself in the car. She had just gotten the call that Livia had been assaulted, but not any details beyond that. As she drove off towards the address she'd been given, she prayed to God that Livia was all right.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Livia slowly came to in a hospital bed. It was eerily quiet and she couldn't remember why she was there. It took her a moment to realize that she was the one in the bed. She tried to move but was restricted by the many machines holding her in place. She felt as if she had been run over. Twice. By a large truck.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess saw that Livia slowly opened her eyes and was attempting to move.
"Hey, you need to try to stay still right now, you're hooked up to machines right now, okay?" she said, hoping Livia would stay still.
When Livia didn't try to move anymore, Jess grabbed her hand in an attempt to make Livia feel safe. She wasn't sure whether Livia remembered what happened or not.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:37}Olivia's hazel eyes widened when she noticed the other person in the room. Jess. Oh Lord.
She then realized that she couldn't open her mouth to speak. Because someone had decided to intubate her. Idiots. She reached out her right hand and was thrown back by the sudden pain she felt shooting up her arm and spine. She clenched her eyes shut and suddenly realized that Jess was talking to her.
"...you're hooked up to machines right now, okay?" Olivia heard Jess say. She opened her eyes and stared fearfully at her friend and nodded once before the doctor came in.
"Ah Ms. Novak, glad to see you're awake." He said cheerfully glancing back from Olivia to Jess. He noticed that both of the girls were staring at him impassively and he cleared his throat nervously before continuing.
"You were, ah, struck three times in the head. Once posterior, twice anterior, which explains why we intubated you, and you were also struck in the abdomen causing some internal bleeding and three of your lower ribs were broken so we fixed that." The doctor said, glancing back at some of his notes. "We took you into surgery and we set your ribs, and stopped most of the internal bleeding but... we are not sure if the internal bleeding affected you physically. You also had some hemorraging in your brain which we also fixed as soon as possible. And you have been comatose for the past 46 hours." The doctor concluded.
Olivia stared at him desperately. Comatose? Broken Ribs? Oh Lord what next? She glanced at Jess, and the doctor, taking the hint, quietly exited the room.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess saw Livia's scared eyes look up at her as the doctor left the room. "Hey, it's okay now, you're safe here," Jess said as she gave Livia's hand a gentle squeeze. "Why don't you just close your eyes and get some rest, and I'll call your mother and tell her you're awake, okay?"

{name:Livvy#|#picture:37}Olivia relaxed partially as she heard her partner's voice. Jess had always been more patient and had a way with comforting people. She could comfort people but not always as well as Jess. She nodded with difficulty and shut her eyes. She didn't feel tired yet but she didn't want to make Jess worry even more. So she listened to her partner's breath pattern and waited for her to call her mother.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}When Jess saw Olivia close her eyes and go back to sleep, she let go of her hand and stepped into the hallway, not wanting to disturb Livia with her phone call.
"Novak," a familiar voice answered shortly after Jess had dialed the number.
"Hey, Casey, it's Jess. Livia just woke up, she's a bit out of it, but physically they have everything under control."
Casey sighed with relief on the other end, and told Jess she'd be there shortly.
After hanging up, Jess went back into Livia's room and sat down in the chair next to her bed and grabbed her hand.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:37}Somehow, Olivia must have fallen asleep. Not intentionally but she did. Stupid pain medication.
When she came too, she noticed her room was empty and that Jess had left. Or if she was there, she just couldn't see her.
"God what time is it?" Olivia thought sullenly, searching the room for a clock. There was probably one on the nightstand beside her bed but because of the machinery she couldn't maneuver to see it. She about to try and twist to see if she could at least have an idea of what time it was when she heard someone tugging on the sliding door of her room.
Without a second thought, Olivia shut her eyes, hoping that whoever was coming in hadn't seen her awake. She just didn't really want to talk to anybody yet.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Here she is," Jess whispered to Casey as she lead Livia's mother through the door to her room.
Jess noticed that Casey had a tear in the crook of her eye, but didn't say anything. When she saw Casey sit down in one of the chairs next to Livia's bed, she told Casey she would step outside to call the precinct and give them an update. It was well over 10 pm, but there was almost always someone there.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:37}"Here she is," Olivia heard Jess whisper to someone. She didn't know who it was until she smelled a familiar whiff of perfume. Her mother.
Liv opened her eye a crack, just wanting to see a glimpse of her mother, who looked like a mess. Olivia just wanted to reassure her, let her know it was okay. But seeing as she was still intubated, she couldn't. Feeling more helpless by the moment, she finally agreed to open her eyes to actually see her mother clearly.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}As Jess went back into the room again she saw Casey leaning on Livia's bed, Livia's eyes were open. Jess saw that it hurt for Livia to be hooked up to all of the machines, and when she saw the doctor that was with them before, she leaned out and called him over.
"Hey, doc, is it really necessary for her to be connected to all of those things? I mean, can't you at least take the tube out of her throath?" Jess said, her voice a little sharper than intended.

{name:Olivia#|#picture:37}Olivia looked up into her mother's piercing green eyes, flinching inwardly as she saw how devestated her mother looked. Oh Lord, Olivia thought as she tore her gaze away from her mothers. Where's Jess when you need her? She thought wryly, Maybe she could interprete.
Outside the Room...
The doctor walked over to Jess, a confused smile on his perplexed face. "Well yes we can do that." He said after glancing at his watch. He called a nurse in after him and walked inside the room.
"Ms. Novak," The doctor started, and both Casey and Olivia turned to look at the doctor. "Eh, we can remove the intubating tube now, if you could give us a moment Ma'am." He added, glancing warrily at Casey.
She nodded and moved aside to let the doctor and nurse remove the tube from Olivia's throat. Once it was done, the doctor wished them well and exited the room quickly brushing past Jess.
".. Hey Mom," Liv stated softly, her voice hoarse with exaustion and from the intubating tube shoved down her throat.

{name:Augusta#|#picture:8}Augusta had spent the last 2 days working the crime scene. She was exhausted, tired, and beginning to smell just a bit. She had one more thing to do before she went home.
She pulled into the parking lot for the hospital and went in. She'd been here so many times, she had no problem finding where Olivia's room was. She saw Jess standing outside of the room. These newer detectives made her feel so old sometimes.
She walked up to Jess and gave her a tired 'how's it goin smile'. " Hey Jess.... everything ok? We havent gotten word on her condition."
