Chapter Fifteen

'What the fuck are you doing here bitch?' a male voice growled at her,

grabbing her and pressing her hard against the wall.

'NCIS Special Agent Todd,' she told him trying to get a shot at his crotch with her knee and wishing desperately that she had dragged Tony out of bed and knowing that Gibbs was going to chew her butt badly

She missed and he literally picked her up from the ground and tossed her against the wall again, pressing her in between the wall and him.

Cait continued to struggle as his hands went around her throat, her eyesight started to blurr and and then just as she felt that she was on the verge of blacking out her attacker went limp and she gluped for air, blinking her eyes and trying to see what had happened. 'Tony?' she gulped trying to focus on the figure that emerged from the darkness but it couldn't be Tony it was too short for him.

'Nope, it's your other knight in shining armour,' Aurora called over her shoulder as she threw the man across to the ajacement wall.

Cait watched, her vision slightly blurred. The man who was at least twice her size and was built like a tank, thrown against the ajacent wall,

winded as Aurora gave him several punches to the solar plexus and a few otherthings that went so quickly Cait missed them before "Tank" crumbled onto the floor thanks to a stun gun.

'Cait are you alrght?' Aurora went to her after slapping some cuffs onto tank man and ankle cuffs for good measure.

'Aurora,' Cait swallowed hard.'Oh God.'

'Come on,' she led her over to the bed and sat her down. 'Are you alright?'

'I think so,' Cait rubbed at her throat.

'You should probably get checked out,' she said, taking out her phone.

'Gibbs will kill me,' Cait rasped. 'I'll be okay in a minute.'

'He'll find out, he'll see the bruises,' Aurora said gently. 'We need to report it. Fatso over there needs to be interviewed when he gets back from snoozeland,'

Cait nodded. 'You're right and thank you,' she looked past Aurora. 'You here alone? I thought Tony might have been with you.'

'Nope, just me,' she told her.

'Just you,' she frowned and then coughed. 'How did you know?'

'Had a feeling I should swing by so I did,' Aurora said. 'Gut instincts are almost always right,'

'That sounds like Tony,' she cracked a small smile. 'He always says trust your gut. '

'It's true,' she told Cait. She dialled Tonys number and waited for him to answer. When he did, she didn't give him a chance to say anything. 'Tony, get to O'Sullivans place, now,' she said.

'Aurora ,' he was surprised to hear her voice again. 'Okay, I'm on my way to the office but I can change route. What's up?'

'Caits here, we bumped into.. an unsavory type,' she said. 'Some fat guy who was trying to choke Cait when I turned up. Cait is fine, a little shaken up and Fatso is sprawled on the floor and cuffed thanks to some voltage.'

'I'm already there,' Tony said as he disconnected the call and threw the car into a tight and fast U turn

'He's on the way,' Aurora hung up and moved toward the lump on the

floor. She tried to find a wallet or some form of ID but came up with nothing.

He started to come too and moaned something about stupid bitches and Aurora gave him a "smack" on the rump. 'Shut up,' she growled.

'Or what?' he mummbled.

'Or I'll give you another zap of voltage,' she growled at him, dangling the stun gun in front of him.

'You wouldn't,' he spat at her.

'Don't push me,' Aurora growled. 'I don't like people without manners.

Didn't your Momma ever teach you not to hit girls?' Aurora said.

'Yeah but I grew up on a farm and we use to slaughter pigs, even sows

without a second thought.' he smirked he wasn't going down without a

fight

'Well I work for an organisation that really hates bad guys and there really is onl way to get rid of bad guys,' she smiled, her hand lingering on her still holstered weapon.

'You're not going to kill me you think I'm going to help you out with your investigation don't you.'

'You're right. I wont kill you.. now,' she smiled. 'But that doesn't mean I wont smack you around for a little while,'

'Cait, Aurora,' the two women heard Tony call out to them and he raced in whipping off his sunglasses as he entered the room. 'What happened here?'

'Tony, did you break the land speed record getting her or what,' Cait

asked.

'See I told you that you drive too fast.' she cracked a small smile before starting to shake, Tony feeling awfully awkard going over to her.

'Hey it's going to be okay,' he put his arm around her shoulder then glared at the felon. 'What are you looking at?'

'He's jealous you can fit inside a door frame,' Aurora mumbled. 'He wasn't your size when he was 6,'

'Bitch,' the man spat again. 'Freaking pigs.'

'You're really asking me to electrode your brain,' Aurora growled. 'It

would be easier to just ask,'

'I wouldn't give her any cheek,' Tony told him. 'She means what she says, believe me.'

'Ohh I'm so scared...' the felon said in a high pitched voice. 'Please don't hurt me bitch,'

'Hmm don't say I didn't warn you,' Tony help Cait to her feet. 'I'm just going to take Special Agent Todd to the hospital, have her injuries checked out. 'You can handle this okay on your own.'

'Of course,' Aurora nodded. 'I'll take him down to NCIS. if I don't

kill him before,' she growled.

'Ohh. please,' the felon growled and spat at her, hitting her shoe.

'My shoe!' Aurora looked down. 'THATS IT! she growled. 'Nighty Night,' she gave him a grin before she zapped him again in the neck and he sprawled on the floor again.

'You need a hand getting sleeping beauty to the car,' Tony asked her with a grin on his face. 'Or just drag him like a sack of spuds maybe.'

'I'll drag him by the scruff of the neck, you guys go,' she said, feeling something hit her eye and she reached up, noticing there was a drip of blood and she had a small cut on her left temple.

'Aurora,' Tony said softly. 'Are you okay?' he reached out to touch the cut.

She ducked away from his touch. 'I'm fine,' she assured him. 'I'll patch it up later, you take Cait to the hospital and I'll get him down to your office,' she nudged the felons rump with her foot.

'Okay,' he nodded, wondering why she had stepped away. He had only been worried about her.

Tony led Cait out and down to his car. 'We'lll swing by and come back to get your car later,' he said as he opened the drivers side and helped her in.

'Thanks,' she nodded.

'What were you doing here alone?' he asked her gently.

'I had a hunch,' she answered him.

'You still shouldn't go in alone. Never go in alone!' He said. She was his partner and he didn't want to lose her!

'I know,' Cait said. 'I just thought it was early, no one would be here and….'

'Thank god Aurora was here,' he muttered as he started his car.

'Yeah,' she said softly. 'I'm surprised you weren't with her,'

'Should I have been?' Tony asked.

'No, I just thought you would have been,' Cait said simply.

Tony just nodded before he drove them to the hospital.

Meanwhile Aurora had dragged fatso to her car and loaded him in the back, silently thankful she had the SUV and the back seats were covered in plastic.

He was still out of it so thankfully the drive over was quite and uneventful. Arriving at NCIS, she pulled up outside and grabbed her phone, calling Gibbs.

'Gibbs,' he answered his phone.

'I have a package for you downstairs,' she told him.

'Should I be scared ?' he answered her, a hint of a smile in his voice.

'Maybe, he weighs a ton and he's a pig on top of all that,' she said. 'I'm waiting downstairs,'

'On the way,' he said, hanging up.

Several minutes later he appeared and walked over to her. 'Who or what is that?' he asked, peering in the back of the car.

'Depends on your view point,' she smiled. 'That is someone who tried to kill one of your agents. Cait was at O'Sullivans house this morning, this guy was there and tried to strangle her.'

'What?' Where is she? Is she alright?' Gibbs asked.

'Yes, I called Tony and he's taken her off to hospital to get checked out but I think she'll just have some nasty bruises and a rap over the knuckles from you,' Aurora said.

'What were you doing there?' he asked.

'I was doing a driveby of the house, checked everything was secure. Saw a car there and went to check it out. Thank god I did,' she said. 'Gave him some volts and cuffed him. Told Tony and Cait I'd drop him off to you so you could interview him.'

Gibbs nodded. 'Thanks,' he said. 'I'll give someone to haul him upstairs,'

'If you get anything…' Aurora said.

'Yes I'll share,' he said. He knew she didn't want to hang around. The building had way too many camera and she didn't want to be seen. 'Same if you…'

'Always,' she smiled at him as Gibbs called over two officers, getting them to grab fatso out. 'Any idea who he is?' he asked her.

'No ID,' she said. 'Doesn't look familiar to me. Maybe prints might tell us something,'

Gibbs nodded. .'Thanks he told her with a nod before he headed upstairs.
