Isabella groaned as the light shone through her eyelids. Even though the doctors had all told her to relax she couldn't. She couldn't even think about sleeping before she knew if Tony was alright.
She opened her eyes and looked to her right and smiled at what she saw. "Tony… and some strange guy." she chuckled. "You look good."
Tony sighed. "You don't."
"Ah well… what can I say?" Izzy smirked. "I'm a little scratched and bruised."
"A little?" Tony scratched the back of his head nervously.
Gibbs stepped forward. "Isabella DiNozzo?"
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" Izzy replied. "I've heard a lot about you."
Gibbs smirked looking at Tony who refused to look at his boss. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Not now." Tony said.
Gibbs looked to his Senior Special Agent and frowned. "Excuse me DiNozzo?"
"She's my cousin Gibbs. Not now." Tony took Isabella's hand. "I'm really sorry Izzy."
"Tony, it's okay. The is no need to protect me." she smirked. "I can answer questions now." Izzy stuck her head over so she could see Gibbs more clearly. "What do you want to know?"
"What happened exactly?" Gibbs asked.
Izzy sighed. "I was on my laptop, listening to music when Tony called to find his mobile. His home phone also rang at the same time."
"Before or after Tony's call?"
"I'm not sure." Izzy shook her head. "Around about the same time I think."
"It's okay. And you answered Tony first."
"Yeah. He called the mobile. I picked up and asked to him to wait before picking up the home phone. When I did some weird voice asked me not to look out the window."
"Did you?"
"No."
"And then what?"
"The glass shattered. And I remember feeling something in my back and then I landed the glass on the floor. I heard Tony in the mobile so I picked it up and… I don't remember what I said. I blacked out." she looked to Tony. "He said something else too."
"What?" Tony frowned.
"Tell DiNozzo to get off the case." Izzy looked between them as Tony and Gibbs shared a look.
NCIS
"How can somebody know?" Abby asked McGee. "I mean, we just got this case this morning. How does somebody already know we're on it?"
McGee shook his head. "I don't know… I mean… unless…" he frowned trying to think.
"McGee?" Abby waved her hand in front of his face. "Unless what?"
McGee tilted his head. "Unless the person was at the crime scene this morning or was at the golf course when Gibbs and Ziva were there."
"But didn't it happen while Gibbs and Ziva were at the golf course?" Abby butted in.
"Then the crime scene."
"Who would recognise Tony and know his cousin was in town?" Abby bit her lip. "I mean, we didn't even know."
"One of Isabella's friends?" he tilted his head to the side.
Abby nodded. "Now we're getting somewhere." Abby dialled a phone number and passed the phone to McGee. "Ask Tony who knows his cousin is in town."
"Why me?" McGee passed the phone back to Abby.
Abby threw him the phone. "It was your idea."
"But you dialled." He threw the phone back to her.
"McGee." Abby threw him the phone when a 'Hello' was heard on the other line.
Tim pulled the phone up to his ear and made a face at Abby. "Hey Tony, we got an idea about possible suspects."
"Make this quick McGee; I'm in the hospital with my cousin."
"We need to know if you or your cousin told anyone she was here. Anyone, a friend, a co-worker."
"We need a list Tony." Abby yelled into the phone.
"I'll make one right now." Tony answered quickly. "Me and only me."
McGee sighed. "Okay Tony, what if Isabella met up with some friends."
"She's only been her a week McGee…"
"Tony, we're only trying to help." Abby said pulling the phone from Tim's hand. "Please just ask her. I know this means a lot to you and we'll help only if you let us."
Tony sighed. "Thanks Abby. I'll do it now."
"Why does he listen to you?"
"It's the kavorka." she shrugged back.
Okay, pretty short but I'm trying my best…
