Let me know what you think of this chapter...though i don't think i need to ask you but i will so thank you... I just fixed a few things so hopefully its a tad better


Abby woke up the next morning with her head on the Sam's hospital bed. Sam was still asleep and Ziva was sitting in a chair with Mark in her arms. She looked at the clock to see it was 8:30. Abby stretched then stood and walked to Ziva. She gave her a quick kiss.

"Any news on Kate yet?"

"No they won't let me in the office. The team was in the house until 10 collecting evidence. We stayed with Gibbs last night. How's Sam?"

"I don't know. She's only been awake for a few minuets at a time. The doctor said she has a concussion and might not remember anything. They also found out the Sam is cutting herself."

"What do you mean?" Abby pointed at Sam's arm. Ziva was shocked. "Why would anyone do that to themselves?"

"I'm not really sure Ziva; you'd have to ask her. I'm going to go get some coffee and a bite to eat. I'll take Mark with me." Ziva handed Mark to Abby then sat down. Abby walked down to the cafeteria. She got her self a chocolate muffin and a large coffee. Ziva had given her a bottle for Mark. As she fed Mark she started to cry. She was thinking about her daughter and wondering if she was being taken care of, she thought of Sam laying in the bed with a bruised face and scares all up her arm. She held Mark to her and kissed him. After he was done eating she put him in his seat and started to eat her breakfast.

Part way through her breakfast an elderly woman came up to her. The cafeteria was full so Abby didn't mind her sitting at the same table. The woman sat there for a moment.

"That's a beautiful baby you have there. What's his name?"

"It's Mark. Thank you."

"How old is he?"

"He's almost three months." The woman smiled.

"What are you here for, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Our babysitter was beaten when someone broke in and…..and took our daughter, his twin."

"Oh my that's terrible. Is she going to be ok."

"I hope so it seems she had a concussion. My girlfriend is up with her now. What are you here for?"

"My daughter was shot when she was coming out of the theater with her kids. I am picking them up until she recovers……hopefully."

"I am so sorry." After talking for another few minuets Abby said goodbye then left. When she got up to the room she noticed Sam was awake and trying not to look and Ziva. Ziva hadn't said anything yet. When Abby came in she handed Mark to Ziva and Ziva left. Abby sat down in the chair facing Sam. She rolled over trying hard not to face Abby and hider her Arm.

"Sam, sweetie. Please talk to me. I want to help." Sam didn't say anything. Abby took a deep breath.

"Please. I won't judge you. At least tell me who took Kate if you can." Sam turned to face Abby.

"He never said his name but told me that someone better find out who killed his baby sister or he'll never give Kate back. I am so sorry Abby, I tried to stop him." Sam started to cry. Abby had an idea who the man was but was going to let it go for now. She stood up and hugged Sam. Sam took a deep breath and Abby sat back down.

"I think I need help Abby. I can't stop. I've tried so hard but I just can't."

"It's ok Sam. I'm glad you are asking for help. I don't know if you know this but it's addicting. It's not an easy thing to stop. Can you tell me why you were doing this?"

"Umm it's was a lot of things. I'd rather not talk about it right now." Abby nodded. Then Ziva walked in. She didn't say anything but sat down. Sam was quite again and Ziva didn't want to push it. After Sam calmed down a little Abby went out side and called Gibbs to tell him to look at Emily's brother.


A/N just to let you people know if you don't cutting is an addicting thing. I have been trying to stop for a wile now but it hasn't been easy. It has been a while and hopefully It won't happen again. But i am going to try to make Sam's deal as real as possible. Just thought I'd let you know.
