1 day later
There she was in her car driving away until she made it to the house. There she was tied to the bed as she attempted to fight back but her attempts were not worth anything. She hoped that he would stop or just be a little more gentle. She tried to think of it as somebody else but couldn't because of how much it hurt. She tugged at the ropes, tears burning in her eyes. Finally she started screaming for help. Solid screams of terror leaving her mouth, before he silenced her putting a firm hand on her mouth and a gun to her head.
Her eyes opened as she noticed her hands were not tied, and she was alone in her own bed. But still she couldn't sleep and she couldn't close her eyes. She did not want to go back there even if she knew it wasn't real.
She picked up her phone and attempted to dial a number but she couldn't think of whom to call. Ziva was a very close friend but wasn't the most comforting person in the world. Kate was a good friend as well but she was supposed to visit her sister tonight and was most likely still there. She forced herself to dial his number.
"Yeah Gibbs" he said his usual pick up.
She couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Jen? Jenny?" he asked.
Her mouth moved to tell him she was ok but nothing came out.
"I'm on my way Jen. Don't hang up"
And then it hit her she must be in shock from how real the dream was. She was going to have to force herself to speak.
"No Jethro I'm- I'm fine" she said at last.
She heard him sigh in relief over the phone.
"Just a bad dream"
"How bad?"
With no answer he decided it best to talk about something else.
He talked with her until about 3 AM when he heard her breathing become heavy and her talking slur. Eventually she fell asleep, but he chose to keep the phone on just in case she needed him again.
The next morning
"Where do you think she is?" A very curious agent DiNozzo asked his co-workers.
"You thought she was coming into work today? Come on Tony where else would she be? She's at home" Kate said rolling her eyes at him.
"Well I don't know KATIE. Director's hard as a rock. She's a big girl she can take care of this herself."
"Tell 'im McGee" Kate said.
"I hate to break it to you Tony but she probably won't come in today" The probationary agent contributed to the conversation.
"Actually she's upstairs" Mossad officer Ziva David said.
"Actually she's right here" Jenny said walking into the room.
"We were just talking about the show that came on last night. It was a cliff hanger and we don't know where Bella is and we were thinking she was not coming to the next movie but Ziva thinks she's in the attic of the apartment." Tony tried to cover but it failed miserably.
Gibbs walked into the room before any awkward moments would occur between the five of them. Seeing Jenny he walked up to her. "What are you doing at work?" he asked.
"Working" she replied.
"Jen-"
"Don't pull that crap with me Jethro I'm fine. Really I am" she said and walked off before he could say more.
The team pretended to be busy with paper work and not paying attention to the argument between the boss and the bosses boss which would always be interesting to watch.
He barely managed to get into the elevator with her as the doors closed. She was folding a bunch of files in her hands along with some flowers from NCIS agents who knew what happened to her. Some of them were lovely roses which must have been very expensive. It showed how NCIS would support each other. It partially showed how they would join together to catch the idiot who would do this.
Because you don't mess with NCIS.
"You need to go home" he said.
"Jethro I can't. I'll be bored as h*** sitting at home and... and it's safer here. I feel safer here."
"Jen-" he said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
A flashback popped into her head. She screamed dropping the papers and flowers on the ground. Coming back to reality she just didn't want it to be true. She stepped on the lovely roses with her heel crushing them completely.
She looked back at him and saw his eyes showed hurt, confusion, and just plain fear. Fear of losing the woman he knew. Fear of what would happen to her. And fear of what she would do next.
"I can't believe I just did that" she said staring at the flowers on the ground. "What am I doing?" she said more to herself then to him. He thought it best not to answer her as he saw her green eyes water.
He sat down in the tight space and told her to sit down as well, more of a request then a demand. She took a deep breath and sat down away from him though. Seeing her separation he felt hurt even though he knew he shouldn't.
"Jen you need to go home" he said once again.
This time she nodded in agreement.
They sat there for hours just thinking things through and knowing this was going to be difficult for both of them.
