Watching the elevator doors open, she stared at the Autopsy sliding doors.
Going through the doors, she saw Ducky was performing an autopsy.
"Hey Ducky."
Startled, the British ME turned around. "Oh dear, you shouldn't be in here."
"Sorry. I can't go anywhere else. I mean, everywhere else is boring now. Gibbs won't let me go home." Ellie explained, as she watched him put his tools down from doing the Y-incision on the dead body.
"I can see why. The city is dangerous dear." Ducky said, agreeing.
"I've been in worse."
"That was in the past. Gibbs wants to make sure you have a safe future." He explained.
"I've learned, that there is no such thing, as safe." Ellie goes around to the other side of the body. "I'm sure this person was innocent, and was killed for no reason. Am I right?"
"Quite right you are."
Ellie shrugged. "There you go. No such thing as safe Ducky. Never has and never will be."
Ducky didn't know what to say for once. He knew she was right to a degree.
"Is something bothering you?"
Looking up from the body, she looked at him. "No. I'm just tired."
"I am sure Abigail could lend you her futon."
"Eh, can I just... stay up here, and sleep on one of the other tables?"
"I don't think so dear. I'm truly sorry, but people have already been traumatized enough, and this is certainly not appropriate for such young eyes." Ducky noted.
Ellie nodded. "It's alright. I'll see you around Ducky."
Walking out, she found she was at a loss of what to do.
And where to even go.
Stepping into the elevator, she let the doors shut. Not pressing any floors, she sat down on the floor and curled up against the wall.
Not hearing people, machines, or anything of the matter, Ellie let her brain slowly shut down, as she fell asleep.
Gibbs heard someone coming close to his desk and he looked up seeing an agent from another team.
"Yes?" Gibbs asked.
"Do you have a daughter, or a step daughter, or a niece?" The agent spoke, asking.
"Goddaughter. Why?"
"She's asleep. In the elevator."
Gibbs sighed. "Thanks."
"No problem. I just thought you should know." The agent shrugged.
"Of course, thanks again."
The agent nodded and walked away.
Gibbs decided to shut down his computer and grab his things. "Night."
"Night boss."
"Night Gibbs."
Was heard from Tony and Ziva, McGee long gone.
Pushing the elevator button, he watched as the doors slid open.
Seeing Ellie curled up in the far corner, he sighed.
Stepping inside, he pushed the close button. As the doors slid completely closed, he flipped the emergency stop switch.
"El.. wake up." Gibbs said, bending down beside her.
"I have been awake for awhile. I just didn't want to get up." Ellie said.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't make me come here tomorrow. Please?"
"We'll see. What's wrong?" He asked again.
"Nothing. I'm just tired. Breaks are meant for people to sleep in. To enjoy what time they have off. I haven't been able to do that. I mean, I love everyone here. But come on, everyday..."
"What about that phone call earlier?" Gibbs brought it up, asking.
"Amber wanted to go out on Friday. Shopping and a movie."
Gibbs nodded. "Alright, I'll think about it. Come on, let's go home."
"Okay."
