Chapitre 6
Few days pass by and Isobel was clear to go home. She was alone in her hospital room, with two agents in front for her security. Jubal and the team were at the JOC working on her case, they want to bury Ethan for what he did to her. And for that she's grateful about them.
"Hey, you ready?" it was Jubal.
"Yeah, doc said that I can go home but rest."
She was looking at her feet's, Jubal know that she have something in her mind.
"What going on? What you have on that sweet head of you?"
"It's nothing…"
"Sweetie…"
"I…I'm happy to come home but… I don't want to go back in mine… I…I will see Ethan hit me… Have the feeling that he will comes home at any time…"
"It's why you come with me. I will take care of you."
Isobel looks up, meeting his gaze, she has no word.
"Jubal…"
"Don't need to said anything sweetie. I have your back. Come on, let's get you home."
They walk toward his car, his hand on her back for support; she was quickly out of breath because of her lung. The road was quiet; Isobel lost in her thoughts, Jubal didn't want to bother her.
"We're here. I take your bag, you can go inside."
But she was waiting for him, they go inside together and Isobel was surprise by all the flowers and balloons in the room.
"It from all the team of the JOC, they know that you would have been embarrassed if everyone had come. You have from the bomb Squad, the Swat, Jess team, cops, and the senator."
"Can you thank them all when you will go back at work please? It's mean a lot."
"Yes mam, come I will show you the bedroom, the bathroom and everything."
Jubal showed her around the whole house, before his phone buzz.
"You need to go?"
"Yeah... hmm emergency. I will be quick and come home soon."
"Don't worry I'm a big girl."
"I will always be worry for you. Make yourself at home."
He kisses her dark hair and leaves for the JOC, one of the people who had information against Ethan that will help them just disappear.
Isobel was on the couch, reading all the little letter of her team and people who know her, and some was from people who just want to tell her that they support her. She maybe fell asleep on the couch. Jubal comes home and sees her asleep; gently he put a cover on her to warm her.
"Please no!" she scream waking up her hands in front of her for protection.
Jubal heart break seen that, and seen the fear in her eyes.
"Sweetie it's just me, Jubal. I was covering you with the blankets, it's okay, and you're safe."
"Sorry… habits I think…"
"Come here" he said opening his arms while he was sitting next to her.
She curls against him and he puts his arms around her, caressing her back, his head on hers. She feels safe in his arms, like nothing can't touch her because she has him.
"It's gonna be okay sweetie. I got you. I will never let this happen again."
"Th…thanks you."
She was crying, he heard her sniff and wipe tears. He stroked her hair tenderly, losing himself in her brown curls. Down her back, whispering reassuring words to her. Isobel finally relax under his touch until her stomach shows up.
"I think someone needs to eat." Jubal jokes.
"Sorry."
"I will coke you something you will love. Why don't you go take a shower during this time?"
"You are the chief!" she said with a smile.
If her face wasn't cover by bruises, it would have been the most beautiful smile he seen. Her right eye was black from the punching.
Jubal starts to cook with music and maybe forgot that Isobel was there and starts to dance at the same time. Isobel was quick in the shower don't wanting to see her marks on her body and with her broken wrist it was difficult. She comes back on the kitchen in silent and smile seen Jubal like this. She decides to annoy him a bit.
"I didn't know that you were a good dancer and singer."
"Oh god! I didn't hear you coming!" he said after jumping by surprise.
"I was because I want to see that!"
"Risotto from the chief"
"Sound amazing. You did it by yourself?"
"Of course, I want to make you a good diner."
Tears comes up to her eyes, never someone cook just for her.
"Izzy…"
"Sorry, it's just… no one do that for me."
"I would do that for the rest of my life if I can."
Isobel looks at him with a strange look after what he just confesses.
