NCIS and SHIELD Divided c14
Ellie was looking at Bobbie, technically they were all looking at Bobbie when Gibbs entered the elevator with Sam. Bobbie however remained staring at the elevator.
"Bobbie, can you tell me what happened?" Ellie asked, she had a feeling she wouldn't but she had to try Sam was her sister. Bobbie turned to look at her, but she could not get a read on her expression before she looked around at the others…the message was clear too many people. "They can be trusted." Ellie said,
"We found her and talked things through." Bobbie stated simply but Ellie was not having any of that, she was tired of the simple answers and she knew they were keeping something from her. "We have this case to worry about." Bobbie tried to get them back on topic.
"I can multi task, besides her case was first…are you telling me her case is closed?" Ellie asked and Bobbie could not stop comparing Ellie to Sam in that moment, seeing the fire in her eyes and determination.
"Sam is in good hands…I don't know why she ran, but we have sorted through it." Bobbie stated she knew what Gibbs was asking Sam and also knew that they would not drop it until they were satisfied with their answers. "This case needs to be your priority." Bobbie told her looking from her to the other agents that were trying their best not to look like they were listening in.
"I am worried about her, I know her something is different." Ellie stated somewhat glaring at her.
"I see where she got that look from." Bobbie stated as it was a look she had received plenty of times from Sam. She also figured that like Sam Ellie would not let it go until she got her answers.
"And you are not really answering my questions." Ellie stated, the others could tell this was a private conversation so they moved back to their desks Deeks and Kensi though kept watching from a distance. Tony also seemed to be watching them but trying to do it more subtle than the others.
"Ellie I would never do anything to endanger Sam, or hurt her in any way. Believe me when I tell you I have her interest in mind when I say everything is sorted." Bobbie stated and watched as Ellie just stared at her. Bobbie was the one to look away, as she knew Sam would be coming out of the elevator. Sam followed Gibbs off the elevator and moved over to Bobbie sharing a looking with each other making sure she was alright.
'You good?'
'Yeah, just wanted to talk. How did things go out here?'
'Centre of attention. I see where you get your stubbornness from.' Bobbie replied as they moved to the screen. Sam looked at Gibbs who gave Kensi a nod so she turned to Sam and Bobbie.
"Cullen is still unconscious. We have not been able to get a report from him." She stated
"Why was he sent there in the first place?" Sam asked
"We had intel that a big deal was going down, he had a cover that would work so they sent him in." Gibbs stated taking over from Kensi grabbing everyone's attention, Sam and Bobbie shared a look with each other before turning to Gibbs. Bobbie knew what he was doing, Sam even figured it out.
'Kind of a slap to the face no?' Sam asked across the link to Bobbie as she was giving Gibbs a glare.
'Now is not the time to have a jurisdiction debacle.' Bobbie pointed out looking at Sam then focusing her attention to Gibbs.
"DiNozzo take Agent Morse with Blie to the conference room give her an update." Gibbs stated he watched as Sam turned to look at Bobbie who gave her a reassuring smile.
'Just stay in the building.' Bobbie told her knowing that she was freaking out slightly as she was still under the 'remain with a pack member' command. Bobbie then followed Tony out of the ballpein. Sam watched her go leaving her with Gibbs, Tim and Ellie.
"McGee go check on Abbey see what she has found. You two with me." Gibbs stated leading Sam and Ellie down to autopsy. Sam shared a look with Ellie but it seemed she did not know what was going on. When they entered they were greeted by Ducky who sealed the door behind them, Sam looked from him to Gibbs to Ellie.
"This feels like a lecture in the making." Sam stated and saw that Ellie looked at Gibbs letting him take the lead.
"You can talk to us, this room is secure." Gibbs stated and Sam could not stop the smile from pulling at her lips.
"What exactly do you think you know?" Sam asked
"We know that you came to us for help, that your agency never gave us a straight answer. That you chose to come to us for help over them and now that you are back with them something has changed. Sam I know you, when you came to us you were scared of something. What were you scared of?" Ellie asked
"Ellie…"
"We know the kids died." Gibbs stated and saw the instant result, Sam's smile left her face and she looked down.
"I didn't hurt them." Sam stated
"We know."
"We tried to save them. We did, we were just not fast enough. It was an ambush, nothing could be done."
"Is that why you ran?" Ellie asked
"No…something else happened…only I saw it. I needed to find the answers, needed the truth."
"What truth?" Gibbs asked Sam was looking at the ground she closed her eyes before her posture tensed. When she looked back up Gibbs could tell she was not going to share anymore. "Is SHIELD compromised?" Gibbs asked
"What? N-no, why would you ask that?" Sam asked clearly showing her surprise. "We- we need to go back to the others."
"Sam, we are still here if you need us. You just need to ask." Ellis stated holding onto her sisters arm who was looking at her with a confused expression.
"I am fine, Bobbie and I sorted things out." Sam stated pulling her arm out of Ellie's hold. Just as Ellie went to talk Sam's phone went off she pulled it out of her pocket seeing it was Maria she did not even hesitate to answer it.
"Hello…yes, okay…I understand." She said hanging up the phone she looked at Ellie and Gibbs. "That was Maria, Daisy and May will be here in the morning to talk with Agent Cullen.
"You're not coming back?" Gibbs asked
"Bobbie and I have been reassigned. We leave in the morning…can I take Ellie?" Sam asked looking at Gibbs who looked from Ellie to Sam and gave a nod Ellie led her to the elevator where Bobbie was with Tony.
"Hey we were coming to you." He stated getting off to talk to Gibbs as Ellie went with the two SHIELD agents. Gibbs shared a look with Ducky who seemed to be lost in thought.
"Hey Boss…" Tony stated once the elvator was closed.
"What did you get?"
"Not much, she knew we were stalling. Gave her some answers but she was not buying it, I think she knew what you were doing."
"Would not surprise me. Did she give you anything?"
"Not anything new, she repeated the same thing Sam told us and the importance of why they are here. What about you? Did you get anything new?"
"They are definitely keeping things from us." Gibbs stated "Duck?"
"You were right Jethro, something is off with her. She seems different." Ducky stated making Gibbs even more determined to get to the bottom of what was going on. Hopefully Ellie could get her to open up some more. He will have to wait until the morning.
Bobbie was driving them to a diner, Sam was in the passenger seat and Ellie was in the back. They sat in silence promising to answer her questions when they got there Ellie noticed the looks Sam was sending Bobbie and Bobbie reached over and squeezed her hand. As they drove through the green light a truck came from the side crashing into them.
AN: Dun…dun…dun…Oh No a car crash…Are they alright? Will Gibbs get to the bottom of it? Tell me what you think by leaving a review… Until next time thanks for reading.
