Chapter 3

Deeks, Callen, Hetty, Eric, Sam, and Kensi were all in the waiting room of the hospital. Hetty was watching her agents, silently.

"I want a protection detail set up." Callen said.

"Definitely." Deeks agreed. "At least until we find out if it was random or she was targeted." Eric finally stopped pacing the room and sat beside Sam. Kensi was standing near a window, thinking. She didn't understand why someone would target Nell. She hadn't been around enough to make enemies. Sam glanced over at Kensi, then switched his gaze to Eric.

"Hopefully her memory comes back. Until then, we can try to piece together what happened with the evidence we have." Deeks nodded.

"After we see her, we should find her car."

"Family of Nell Jones?" A man said. The agents all walked over with Eric.

"I'm Dr. Cornwell, Ms. Jones' doctor."

"How is she?" Eric asked.

"Ms. Jones is currently waking up from a local. She's got a few stitches in her head, 4 broken ribs, a completely broken left hand, including her fingers. She's also got a swollen eye and a concussion. She's going to be ok, but someone really did a number on her. 2 of the knuckles on her right hand are bruised, so she did hit back. She's going to have to stay for a while because of her concussion." Deeks sighed with relief.

"Can we see her?" Eric said. He needed to see his 'partner'. Kensi smiled slightly, knowing her friend was going to be ok. Dr. Cornwell nodded.

"Certainly." He led them to Nell's room. They all stopped.

"Eric, why don't you go first. She's your partner." Deeks said gently. Eric nodded and went into Nell's room and sat in a chair beside her bed.

"Hey Nell, how are you feeling?" Nell blinked awake slowly.

"Like...a...punching bag." Eric took her right hand in his.

"We will find who did this to you."

"I hope so..." She tried to sit up, but her ribs protested painfully. She started coughing and wheezing. Gently, Eric pushed her back down.

"Just lay down. Take it easy." Nell blinked weakly.

"T-Thank you...for...for finding me...-" She whispered. "-E-Eric...thanks..." She finished.

"No problem. I'm glad I found you." He said softly. He very softly brushed her cheek. Nell tried not to, but she winced anyway. She glanced at Eric. "I-I-I...I-It didn't hurt..." But the pain in her eyes gave her away. There was a knock on the door. Deeks poked his head in.

"Hey Nell, can we come in?" Nell nodded weakly. Deeks walked in. "How you doing?"

"So-so..." He smiled gently.

"Nell...can you tell me anything that you may remember?" Nell shook her head quickly and pain clouded her mind.

"No!"

"Nell..." Deeks began calmly, soothingly, before Nell cut him off, hysterical.

"No! I-I-I d-d-don't r-remember anything! L-Leave! L-Leave me alone! I-I don't know anything! G-Go away!"
