Two hours later, Gibbs watched from the hallway as the doctors worked continuously on Abby's wounds. Thankfully she had been sedated on the ride to the hospital, Her panic at being touched by anyone, but him had caused her to fight the paramedics so they had been forced to sedate her. He looked back down the hall as he heard Ducky call his name, "Jethro, What happened?" He looked sadly at the older man before whispering, "She was attacked, Called me for help."
Ducky just looked at him for a moment before looking through the glass at the young woman he cared for as a daughter before asking the question he didn't want to ask, "Dear lord, Was sh-she assaulted?" He watched as the muscle in Gibbs jaw tightened, before he nodded. "Did she tell you who did this? Was she able to tell you anything?" Gibbs turned to look at him and the look in his eyes caused Ducky to take an involuntary step back, "No, She didn't tell me anything, I do know tho." Ducky swallowed deeply, before finally asking "Then Shouldn't we call the team in? I'm sure they would be more than happy to help apprehend this- This Monster." The look in Gibbs eyes turned murderous and Ducky quickly filled in the pieces, There was a reason he hadn't called the team before himself. "Dear lord, You don't think it was… one of ours? One of your team?" Gibbs forced himself to look back into the room before looking back at him, "I do, and when I get my hands on him, I will kill him." with that Gibbs turned to speak to the doctor that was just coming out of the room briefly before walking quickly to Abby's bedside.
Ducky stood outside and watched as Abby reached for Gibbs hand as he made it to her. From the door he could see the damage to her face and the bruises that covered most of her arms, He took a deep breath before turning to talk to the doctor himself.
Abby heard the door open and wanted to look but could barely move her head, the medication they had given her made her feel like a lead weight. So as Gibbs came into her view she used what strength she had to reach for him, has his hand clasped hers she let out a deep breath. She watched as he looked over her face before raising his other hand to gently push her bangs to the side before leaning over to brush a kiss to a small patch of unmarred skin. She could feel the swelling around her left eye where he had punched her, she knew that before morning her eye would most likely be swollen shut.
She tried to smile at him as he whispered his hello, but it hurt to move much of anything so she left it at a small twitch of her lips. She watches as he looked her over once before looking back at her, She could see the barely contained pain and anger he held in his eyes. After a moment she felt her heart begin to beat faster, He looked at her like he knew who had done this. She just stared at him until he reached over to pull a chair closer to the bed, As he sat he reached out with his other hand to grasp her hand in both of his larger ones before looking back at her.
"Abbs, You need to tell me who did this to you." he whispered, "because right now I think I know, but I need you to tell me." She stared at him for a full moment before looking up towards the ceiling, "I-I Can't Gibbs." she whispered back. "Why not?" He questioned. She looked back at him, as a tear slipped down her cheek "Because I-I don't want you to H-Hate me." He shook his head as he reached forward to wipe the tear carefully from her cheek, "Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could ever make me hate you, Abby." She felt more tears slip down her cheeks, "He said you would never believe me, th-that you would only think I led him on. That you would think it was my fault. I swear I told him no Gibbs I swear!" quickly he stood up and placed both hands on her cheeks as he tried to calm her, "I know you did Abbs, I know. The marks and bruises on your body prove that you fought him, and I do believe you Abby, I do. I promise, None of this is your fault, None. This is on him, okay?" After a moment she nodded before reaching out for him, He carefully pulled her into a hug as she cried.
After she had finally calmed he lowered her softly to the bed, before pressing a kiss to the top of her head. He pulled back as he watched her eyes flutter shut, the sedative and pain medication finally forcing her to sleep. He stood up and wrapped his hand in hers once again before hearing the door open, as he turned he saw Tony, Ziva, and McGee standing there. Rage filled him as he laid eyes on the man he believed to be responsible, His disheveled appearance, the fresh scratches down his face, and the black eyes he was sporting instantly cemented Gibbs belief. Gibbs turned and reached for his gun as the man turned and ran from the murderous look he saw in Gibbs eyes.
