CHAPTER: 4/? (Just to be safe!)

Hey people, thank you so much for reviewing. I dig positive comments, well who doesn't? And so here is my next installment...most likely my second last one. This whole thing was suppose to be a one-shot but, as you can see, it really isn't. I don't know how but it kind of took a life of its own. For those who actually find this story exciting, I think we think alike because I am sure as hell enjoying writing it. ;)

Enjoy!


PREVIOUSLY: The medics tensed as they rushed Eric into the ambulance positioning the oxygen mask on his face, Nell climbing in seconds later with very less time in their hands to save their latest patient.


CHAPTER: 4

Nell tried her best to keep up with the speed of the doctors and nurses as they hurried into the ER. She could see them shake their heads in disbelief nervously exchanging glances, her face crossing in panic and fear at the sudden accumulation of negative thoughts in her brain. She quickly discarded them as she felt Eric tighten his grip on her hand before slowly fluttering his eyes open.

"Hey Wolfram!" She said trying to hide the panic in her voice gently placing her palm on his blazing forehead. "How are you doing?" she asked keeping up with the pace of the professionals.

"STOP!" He half- yelled in agony as his back arched upwards and he began jerking out of terror. There were too many unfamiliar people surrounding him poking and prodding while reeling off alien numbers. Nell swiftly reacted as she placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down continuously coaxing him,

"No…Eric they're going to help you. They're doctors. You're at a hospital." The doctors all stopped moving as she placed her palm on the side of his face, gently stroking him on his cheeks.

"You need to calm him down and fast." One of the doctors quickly but gently spoke scribbling into the papers in his hands.

"Eric…relax. Just take deep breaths. I'm here. Nothing's going to happen to you. I am not going to let anyone hurt you again, I promise."

Eric blinked blankly as he began to slowly realize, relaxing under her touch. Once he calmed down, the medics resumed their fiery pace, Nell high on their heels.

Eric looked at Nell with guilt filled eyes, "Sr'y…I cannot….."

Nell's heart ached as she was stopped halfway letting go of Eric's hand as one of the nurses gently but firmly prevented her from entering into the ER. She almost angrily glared at her before turning around to sit on the chairs plopping her feet upwards, holding her knees close to her chest and resting her head on the wall. She replayed the memory of Eric yelling and screaming in agony feeling a shudder run through her body. I can't do this, she thought before quickly reaching out for her jeans pocket, flipping the phone which she had slipped in for future use back at the crime scene, dialing the first number that came to her mind, now that she did not have to worry about Eric, her partner clocking out on her. Hetty Lange.


Exactly 1 hour and 24 minutes had elapsed since Eric was rushed into the E.R and Nell was starting to get restless now. She just wanted to know whether her partner was okay. The wait was killing her and the day's events were definitely taking a toll on her as she tiredly placed her hand on her forehead letting out a small groan, wiping off the tear that trickled down her cheek with her sleeve. Her head was throbbing and her legs still jittered due to the adrenaline rush but she best tried to ignore them. She needed to know about her partner. He was her first priority, she could care about herself later. Her eyes were still closed when she felt a strong but soothing hand on her shoulder. She looked up and felt relief wash over her as Deeks and Kensi came into view, Sam and Callen right behind them.

"Hey. You alright?" Callen worriedly asked bending a little to look into Nell's eyes.

"Yeah…yeah I am fine." Nell replied standing up while rubbing her eyes as the world spun around her.

"You sure?" Kensi verified suspiciously eyeing the young woman.

Nell from no angle looked fine. She was pale and her eyes were considerably swollen, her face and arms covered in blood from innumerable wounds. The rest of her team noticed the amount of blood on her clothes and felt their guts churn erratically. She followed their sight and shrugged, "I didn't know what to do. Eric was…" her voice broke and she took in a considerable amount of oxygen before breaking down into tears. Their heart broke as she struggled to breathe now crying unstoppably.

"Nell…come here. Come here." Deeks spread his arms wide open as Nell slowly walked towards him and hugged him like he was her lifeline. She buried her head deeper into his chest as he circled one arm around her waist and the other supporting the back of her neck. Kensi grasped Nell's hand providing support in whichever way she could while Sam and Callen exchanged worried glances.

"If something happens to him….." Nell managed to say between sobs as Deeks planted a kiss on her forehead.

"He'll be fine Nelly. He'll be fine."

Nell sustained the hug long enough as she slowly felt the burden lift off her shoulders, all the other injuries making themselves known now. She was too busy with her thoughts earlier to have felt the pain coursing through her body but now as she relaxed, it all came back to her. She let go of Deeks waist as she turned around to position herself yet again on the uncomfortable chairs. She took the support of the wall as she felt her knees lose balance. The others noticed her unsteady walk and when she stopped halfway, swaying uncontrollably, they all rushed forwards as realization struck them.

"WOAH! Easy Nell." Deeks was the first one to reach to her as she felt the ground disappear from beneath her feet and her eyes rolled back in her head. Deeks caught her just in time standing in front of her as she fell on his chest, oblivious. He shook her shoulders, "Nell….hey. Wake-up." He touched her face with one hand, the other arm holding most of Nell's weight. The others rushed to him, Sam helping Deeks carry Nell bridal style to a doctor in no time. As Nell was being treated for her wounds, Kensi and Deeks took the chairs outside her room while Sam and Callen set off to where Eric was. The four of them more than just worried now.


Kensi sighed as she slowly circled her hand around Deeks arm resting her head on his shoulder, slightly snoring a while later. Her partner, clearly tired of being up and about at 3 a.m in the morning placed his head on top of Kensi's as they waited for more news on their analyst.


Callen was pacing the narrow corridor continuously murmuring to himself while Sam just looked at him with utmost understanding.

"I get it G. But just sit down." He said indicating towards the empty chair beside him.

"Nell and Eric don't deserve this Sam. They just don't."

"There is nothing we can do about it now G. The bad guys are dead."

"Yes and you thought that would help?"

"Oh so the constant stream of swear words is making you feel better?

Callen stopped pacing looking straight into his partner's eyes. He hated when Sam was right and he would never admit it to him but…he was right. Callen innocently shrugged his shoulders before uncomfortably positioning himself beside Sam trying really hard to stop his blood from fizzling. He let out a deep breath as he positioned his elbows on his knees and breathed heavily into his palms. Waiting…he hated waiting.

As a matter of fact, they all did but it was not like they had any other choice. So they best decided to wait, for as long as they could, for as long as they were needed to...because in the end news on their youngest members of their team, more like family would always be worth the time. Right?
