You can trust me.
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS or any recognisable characters. But I would love to get Abby or Gibbs for xmas, if anyone needs any ideas on what to get me.
A/N: ok peeps I know I've been gone about a month, but I'm back and its time for some more fanfics. Don't worry all you lot who wanted me to add to my other NCIS fanfic , I am working on it, buts it's a long chapter and I'm still getting used to this pc so please be patient. As normal if you don't have anything nice to say I really don't want to hear it. Besides my spelling and grammar should be a bit better. I have spell check finally.
Summery: What if Abby started to come to work with unexplained bruises? What if it was an ex-boyfriend? How would Gibbs handle it and how would he get the truth out of Abby? (yes I know this is very unlikely as Abby can take care of herself, I just want to see how Gibbs would handle it (sorry this came to me when I watch the episode when Abby was getting stalked.))
You Can trust me
Chapter 1 of ?
It was Monday morning, not a good morning by any accounts, specially if your Hurst broke down on the way to work, making you walk the last ½ mile.
Abby arrived at the same time a Magee, and waited with him for the lift, so she could retreat to her quiet lab to listen to some music. Now Abby is well known for her gothic clothing, so Magee wasn't surprised that she was wearing pure black. No, what surprised him was she was wearing a hoodie 2 sizes too big, and the hood was pulled so low over her face, her whole face was in shadow. That was until the lift's lighting shone into it. Magee couldn't stop the gasp that came form his mouth. Abby had a black eye. And she had noticed that he had noticed.
"Don't stare Magee, its only a bruise, nothing serious." The lift arrived at its destination "I'll be in the lab if anyone needs me. Let them know ok. Thanks bye."
Magee watched Abby hurry of to her lab before walking over to Denozo.
"Abby has one hell of a black eye. Do you recon something is wrong?"
"With Abby? Nope. She can take care of herself."
*-*
The next day Guppy went down to the lab, to get Abby to do some blood analysis. Upon entering he found Abby asleep at her desk, the hood of her baggy hoodie back, revealing the black eye and new split lip.
"Abby, wake up!"
Abby sat up startled. She looked around frantically before smiling at seeing Guppy.
"Hey Guppy. Got something for me to analyse?" she asked in a very fake cheery voice.
"Abby what happened to your face?" he asked forgetting the blood for a few seconds.
"Oh this, nothing I fell down that's all." She winced at the lame excuse. "Anyway, is that blood I see?" She asked changing the subject.
"Yes if you could just do the works on it, I would apprciate it. Want me to get you a caffpow
*-*
"Gibbs, can I have a word with you?"
Gibbs looked up to see Guppy standing, hesitating, behind him.
"Is it important Guppy? I have a mountain of paper work to do."
Guppy looked around swiftly before speaking in a low voice.
"Its about our favourite Goth."
Gibbs instantly was on his feet and in the lift, indicating Guppy to get in. He let the lift move in-between floors before stopping it.
"Speak."
"well I've just been down there and found Abby asleep at her desk. If it was just that I wouldn't be worried, but she has a black eye, a split lip and looks like she hasn't slept in a week. Surely you've noticed?"
Gibbs shook his head.
"Every time I've been to see Abby this week she hasn't been around. Did you ask her how it happened?"
"Yes but she said she had fallen down."
Gibbs started the lift.
"Abby doesn't just fall down. I'm going to see her."
*-*
"Abs?" Gibbs called as he entered the lab to find it deserted. Abby's chair was still spinning from where she had got up quickly.
"Abby I know you're here, and I'm not leaving till you come out."
Abby appeared form a little side room.
"Got some work for me Gibbs?" she asked. Her hood was up again.
"Well for starters you can take your hood off, I know about the bruises. Guppy told me."
Abby slowly removed her hood but stayed in the shadows.
"Come on Abs, don't hide from me. I know you to well."
Abby sighed and stepped into the light. Gibbs indicated to her chair and ,once she had sat in it, crouched down before her.
"So you going to tell me how you came across those?" He asked indicating to her face.
"I fell?" she said, it coming out like a question.
"You fell? Don't even try it Abs, we both know that's not true. You don't just fall. Who is hurting you Abs?" His voice had lost the tone of the boss and was replaced with the caring friend that Abby knew.
"N..n…no-one Gibbs. Why would anyone want to hurt me?"
"Need I remind you of your stalker?"
"Point. But no-one is out to hurt me or hurting me, so just leave it Gibbs ok?" she looked at him pleadingly.
"No its not ok. I wont to know who is hurting you. So tell me Abby who is hurting you? Please trust me, and tell me who is hurting you?"
Abby burst into tears and threw herself into Gibbs arms.
"He's back."
"Who Abby?"
"Alexander. He's an Ex I had hoped never to see again. Get him to leave me alone Gibbs, get him to leave me alone."
Gibbs held Abby tight.
"He wont hurt you again Abs, I promise. Why did you try and hide it from me? I would have found out."
"You didn't need to know. Everyone thinks I am so tough, would you want to admit you were getting hell form an ex?"
Gibbs held her at arms length looking at her battered face.
"Abs, no one is going to think any worst of you. It could happen to anyone. Besides I'm going to stop it!"
Abby smiled.
"Your not just saying that to make me feel better?"
"Is it working?" Asked Gibbs
"Yer, say it again?"
"I am going to stop it Abs. I promise. Besides if I didn't and the team found out, I don't think they would care if I'm there boss, they would make my life hell. Now.." his boss voice had returned and Abby flinched "Were might I find this Alexander?"
Abby looked away and attempted to get out her chair. Gibbs didn't move out her way.
"Abs?"
No response.
"Abs? Tell me. Where is he?"
Abby was about to answer when her phone rang. Her face lost the little colour it had when she saw who the caller was.
"Hello?" her voice shook as she answered. She paled even more as she listened.
"No I'm not coming home tonight. My boss has given me an extra work load." Tears sprang to her eyes as she listened to the response and Gibbs looked murderous.
"Look Alex I got to go my boss is coming and I'm not supposed to take personal calls….."
"Yes. I know. I haven't told him anything. I'll see you soon. Bye."
Gibbs looked at her closely.
"Is he at your apartment?"
Abby nodded. Gibbs got to his feet and held out his hand.
"Come on Abs. Lets end this."
A/N: So, shall I leave this as a once shot or add a chapter say what Gibbs does. Let me know. Luvs ya all peeps.
Moonlight.
