Three hours had passed since Abby had left the navy yard.
She parked her car and wasn't surprised to see that those of her friends hadn't moved.
Abby just needed to cross the distance to the rear-elevator on another level, hopeful no one would notice she was there till it was already morning.
-
With a bag full of groceries and her bag filled with clothes she walked towards the elevator.
She didn't even make it 10 meters.
A very loud and pissed voice became audible.
-
"What in the queen's name you think you are doing here."
-
Busted
-
She never heard Ducky that pissed before.
She lowered the bags to the ground and turned towards the voice.
-
"I can't sleep at home."
"And you certainly won't sleep here." He said his voice a little calmer while he crossed the distance.
He watched her lower her look to the ground.
Her eyes were still swollen she knew it and she knew Ducky had noticed that she had cried.
-
The ME came to a halt right in front of Abby and placed his hands upon her shoulders. This time she didn't move away.
"My dear I want you at least one night away from here." Ducky said calm.
"But I don't want to go home."
She said quietly while looking into his eyes.
"Well how about at least one night at my house; I have a decent guest room."
Abby just nodded and helped herself to her bags before she followed Ducky to his car.
-
The ride to Ducky's residence was mostly quiet, despite the on-going tummy rumbles from Abby's side.
"My dear I think your body is trying to tell you something."
"Maybe I should eat something before I think about sleep." She said calmer than she had been the last couple of days, thanks to Tobias.
-
Tobias…
-
"Tobias paid me a visit." She looked towards Ducky's profile who directed his car into his drive way and stopped.
"I know my dear, he called me." He said while he turned his head, leaving out the fact that the FBI agent had watched the house.
Abby sighed, she should have known, that Tobias would call Ducky.
"Let's get inside my dear." A weak smile on her face she nodded and got out of the car.
-
A half sandwich later she was fast asleep on the couch in Ducky's living-room.
The other half of the sandwich was resting untouched on the coffee table next to the tea cup, when he re-entered the room.
-
My dear the bed would have been more comfortable.
-
Not willing to disturb her sleep he trapped a blanket over her frame and sat down on the armchair at the opposite side of the room.
Soon he followed her into a light sleep.
