"So what? You bring me down here and threaten me into staying quiet?"
"Don't be silly, Tony, I don't plan to do anything like that." As the figure stepped into the room, the light from the corridor outside illuminated their face. Tony's eyes widened as he saw the person face to face. "I plan to kill you."
"You!" Tony sneered, completely unfazed by the threat. It definitely wasn't the first and he hoped it wouldn't be the last.
"Yes, me," the figure answered coolly as she walked further into the room. Now Tony could see who it was. He should have known it was her the first time they met. He always fell for the crazies. Nurse Windsor placed a leather briefcase on the floor in front of Tony and opened it with a click.
"I don't understand. What do you have to do with Lucy West and Kevin Wickson?" Nurse Windsor's head snapped upwards and she glared at Tony.
"I have everything to do with Lucy West and Kevin Wickson!" she roared. She calmed immediately, pulling a syringe from the briefcase. It was already filled with some kind of liquid.
"But Kevin killed Lucy."
Nurse Windsor laughed. "Yes, that's what he says."
Tony frowned. "It was you!" Tony accused. "You killed Lucy." His attacker nodded. "Why?"
"Why? Why! Did you see her? She came into this hospital looking like Miss Universe! All the patients loved her - sweet beautiful Lucy! The women wanted to be her, the men just wanted her, she was their queen," she spat with disdain.
"So?"
"I'm supposed to be the queen! I'm supposed to be admired and loved! Don't you think I'm beautiful?"
"Sorry, I'm not attracted to murderers."
Nurse Windsor slapped him across the face and his head snapped to the right. "Don't think I didn't see the way you looked at me!"
Tony cringed, remembering the way his eyes had travelled down her body, the low whistle as he had stared at her legs.
"The same way they looked at her. The minute she stepped into the hospital and signed herself under a fake name."
Tony raised an eyebrow. He didn't know anything about a fake name, but then again it would explain how Lucy had checked herself in and why Gibbs didn't know about it when he investigated her disappearance four years ago. "You didn't know?" she asked, catching his surprised look. "I expected a federal agent like you would do their homework before coming here and disrupting my hospital." She laughed. "I checked into her background, I knew exactly who she was. Some spoilt Captain's daughter."
"His name is Captain Neil West, his wife is Mary West. Neil West is dying. His only wish is to see his daughter buried."
Nurse Windsor stepped back and pointed to something in the corner. "He won't be getting his wish anytime soon, no-one knows you're here. Looks like you and her are going to be spending a lot of time together."
Tony squinted, searching in the darkness. His eyes widened as he saw a skeleton, lying against the back wall. A single chain hung around its neck, the pendant laying against the floor. Tony closed his eyes.
"You killed her because she was prettier than you?" Tony asked quietly, not wanting to enrage his attacker anymore than he already had. He opened his eyes and stared sadly into the eyes of his assailant.
"She deserved what she got."
Tony shook his head. "No, but you deserve to be locked up with the rest of the loonies in this place." Tony felt the sting as she slapped him again. Tony spat out blood this time.
"So how'd you do it?" Tony asked. "Hit her over the head? Tie her up down here? And then what?"
"You'll see." Nurse Windsor went back and picked up the syringe. She flicked it with her fake red nails to push out any air bubbles exactly as she had done when she had sedated him. His mind flashbacked to that moment of terror, of being held down against that table as he screamed out. That seemed like a lifetime ago.
"What's in that thing?" Tony asked suspiciously, eyeing the syringe with trepidation.
"Oh, just something to help you relax," she told him.
Something in her voice made Tony shiver. She walked over to Tony and stood over him. He tried to struggle, to stop her from getting the needle in, but it didn't help. Nurse Windsor grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked his head to one side. She then jabbed the needle straight into his neck and pushed down. Tony grunted at the pain, scrunching his eyes shut as he felt the liquid enter his body. A minute later, Tony didn't have the energy to struggle. He lay limp against the damp wall. She smiled in satisfaction and then pulled a sharp knife from the briefcase. She stalked towards Tony and trailed it down his face gently.
"Can you feel that?" she asked, knowing he couldn't answer. "How about this?" she asked again, this time slicing through the skin on his arm. He managed a grunt. "Stabbing you now would just be too easy and quick."
She took the knife to the rope holding his hands together and cut it up. His hands dropped to his sides like lead weights. She then moved to his legs and cut the rope holding his feet together.
"This will keep you from trying to escape." She closed the briefcase and held it tightly in one hand. "And just so you know, when this is all over, I'll have Kevin admit to your murder too. He's such a sweet boy, he'd do anything for me." She turned back to Tony and crouched by his side. "It was nice knowing you, Tony; if you hadn't gotten so close to the truth we could've hooked up." She leant over him and kissed his motionless lips. He cringed internally at the unwanted gesture. She turned her back to him and walked to the door.
"Oh, one more thing." She placed the briefcase down by her feet and turned to a metal wheel by the door. With both hands she turned the wheel around, spinning it until a roaring sound could be heard.
"Goodbye." She picked up the briefcase, stepped out of the room and slammed the door shut, locking it from the outside.
Tony heard the roaring sound getting louder and louder; whatever it was it was coming fast. For once Tony didn't believe Gibbs would find him in time and there was no way he could escape when all his limbs lay limp, feeling like they each weighed a ton. Tony wished he could scream but all that came out of his mouth was a weak grunt. He was surprised he was still able to breathe after the injection he had been given. Suddenly the roaring sound was in the room and from the corner of his eye Tony could see an open pipe spewing gallons of water into the room. He knew it wouldn't be long before the water was over his head and then it was goodnight DiNozzo.
