NCIS and SHIELD Divided c13

Ellie was at her desk, she was meant to be doing work but she couldn't help but look at the door. Sam was coming.

"That is the third time you have checked your watch." Tony pointed out

"How long does it take to get from security to here?" Ellie stated, they had been informed by security that they were on their way in. That was two minutes ago.

"Why are you nervous?" Deeks asked he was leaning against a filing cabinet keeping tabs on the case while Sam was with Cullen. Kensi looked over at him from the chair she was sitting at next to McGee.

"I am not nervous, I am worried…and mad." Ellie replied just as the elevator dinged she was up on her feet heading for it. She saw Sam come out with Bobbie and the agent that escorted them. Ellie ended up hugging Sam which she noted went tense at the contact, and remained tense until she let her go. This made Ellie step back and assess her, she noted that Sam seemed to lean closer to Bobbie before she plastered on a smile looking at Ellie. She also noticed the bruising on her neck.

"I was not gone that long, you know that right?" Sam asked placing a hand on Ellie's shoulder looking at her in the eyes. "You look terrible." She added at which Ellie gave her a pointed look one she had not used since they were kids. Moving her gaze from her neck so she was looking her in the eyes

"Seriously that is all you have to say?" Ellie asked folding her arms at which Sam tilted her head and looked at her.

"What else am I meant to say?" Sam asked

"Where have you been? What did they say? What did they do to you Sam?" Ellie asked at this Sam gave her a puzzled expression before her face went expressionless and she looked over Ellie's shoulder to look at Gibbs. He was giving her a specific look, but she held his gaze.

"I am here to discuss what happened downtown." She stated

"You're here because you want to know why we had an agent undercover and what he would have found out." Gibbs stated, the others had come over but were standing back Kensi and Deeks were clearly confused. They saw that to Gibbs statement Sam seemed to smirk before looking back at Bobbie and raised an eyebrow before turning back to look at Gibbs when she got an eyeroll. "What was that place? Why was SHIELD interested? What happened to your case?" Gibbs asked he was expecting them to turn the questions around, not really expecting an answer. He grew weary when Sam once again shared a look with Agent Morse and seemed to have a conversation with their eyes.

"What do you know of Ethan Cruss? He was the man that ran the building, or more like the organization that we came across you at." Sam stated and Gibbs knew she was being careful with her wording.

"You share we share is that how it goes?" Kensi asked

"Agent Blie right? You are part of the team from LA Hetty Lange's group."

"You know Hetty?" Deeks asked

"Me? No Shaggy I don't but my boss does."

"Shaggy?"

"Sorry, just you look like a shaggy." Sam stated but stopped and turned to look at Bobbie giving her a pointed look. "I know you were thinking it." Sam stated before moving around her sister past Gibbs and the others to her sisters desk. "Just borrowing this…good to know you changed your password. Still predictable to me." Sam stated with a smirk as she managed to log into her computer before she started pulling up documents.

"What? Where did you get these?" Ellie asked looking at her sister from looking at the screen.

"Mr Cruss was behind these, this is what got our attention." Sam stated and Ellie had to look away.

"How many?" Gibbs asked looking at the photos

"76, that we know of…we think there was more."

"What did that?" Tony asked looking at the photo of dead kids, one even as young as Tali.

"That photo? We are not sure. We have managed to identify some of the weapons used…we have managed to stop most of his sales but some got through. That is where your agent comes in. We need to know what he knows? What you know? Why did you send him in there in the first place? If possible within the next half hour." Sam stated before giving the computer back to her sister she looked at Gibbs who was watching her. Gibbs ended up heading back to the elevator taking hold of Sam's arm and pulling her along.

"You stay." Gibbs told Bobbie entering the elevator he noticed a shared look between Sam and Bobbie. When they were in the elevator he hit the emergency stop button and turned to look at Sam who raised an eyebrow at him especially when he gave her a pointed look. "Talk." Gibbs stated when it became clear Sam was not going to speak first.

"I did, we need your…"

"Not about the case, you. You came to us asking for help…then what? What happened?" Gibbs asked looking at her, Sam knew he would ask this question she just hoped it was after they got their answers.

"They found me, we sorted things out." Sam shrugged but Gibbs clearly did not buy it. Sam was holding his gaze but ended up looking down when he gave her a specific look. This made him know that everything was not alright. Ever since meeting the younger Bishop she always held his gaze and gave him attitude but now she wasn't and that spark in her eyes was gone. She shuffled on her feet looking back at the door. "I don't know what you want me to say Agent Gibbs."

"The truth."

"I am telling you the truth, they did find me and I… we did sort things out." Sam stated looking him in the eyes this time holding it but he could tell it was forced.

"You lied to me before, about why you were running. You were scared, why were you scared?" Gibbs asked at which she ended up looking down and he could tell she did not want to be there.

"You don't know me agent Gibbs, I am not Ellie. I am here to work a case, to stop more casualties from happening. Will you get them to cooperate?" Sam asked and he knew this was her trying to deflect, he sighed after having one last look in her eyes, McGee was right something was off…but there was no point in making her close off. He gave her a gruff response before starting up the elevator again. He would have to ask her with Ducky and possibly Ellie present. With her soulmate so close he knew if SHIELD was up to something he would have to be more cautious.
