Eliot quickly rolled off Mack and looked at Nate. Mack quickly jumped up from the bed and lost her balance. Eliot quickly stepped forward to steady her, Mack shoved Eliot away and glared at him. Nate took the whole scene in and smirked.

Nice to see Mack still had her stubborn streak. That sure did make his life a living hell growing up, made it interesting, but still hell.

"Let me introduce you. Eliot Spencer meet my baby sister Dr. Mackenzie Grace Ford."

"Nice to meet you Doc! I will go downstairs and let you and Nate catch up."

As Eliot left the room Nate noticed for the first time the bruises on Mack's neck, jawline, and arms.

"What the hell happened to you?"

"I had a little accident on my way to see you. Mr. Spencer was good enough to help me."

"It looks like someone beat you...Mack!"

"All this brotherly concern is touching. You've been back in Boston for almost a year now, and you just call me last night wanting to see me?"

"How did you..."

"Maggie told me...after all she was my sister in law! I'd really like to play catch up but I'm going home!"

"Sooooo, who's the girl?" asked Parker

"I'm not having this conversation with you!" Replied Eliot

"Damn Eliot, did she punch you in the jaw...that's a lovely shade of purple you're wearing!" laughed Hardison

"Damn it Haridson! She's tougher then she looks!" Besides I don't hit women!" Growled Eliot

"Did you throw her out the window for hitting you?" asked Parker

"There's something wrong with you! No, Nate is talking to her!"

"Where's Nate?" asked Sophie as she walks into the room.

"He's in the guest room talking to his sister." answered Eliot.

"Mack, please tell me what happened. Who hit you?"

Mack closed her eyes, Wondering if she should tell him the whole story or just what happened that day or at least what she could remember what had happened that day. It was a long story that had started over a year ago. That had made her a prisoner. She was hurt that it took almost a year for her only brother to contact her since he returned to Boston, truth it she was also relived because he had always been her protector. Maybe just maybe she could feel safe again.

"It's a long story Nate!"

"I have all night Mack, let me send my team home so we can talk."

"You might as well let them stay. Mr. Spencer is already involved. Let me tell you the story first, then we can fill them in."

"If that's what you want..."

"His name is Tobias Jones, he is my ex-boyfriend that doesn't believe he should be or wants to be an ex!"
