CHAPTER 19: PICTURE PERFECT
Abby awakens to find herself in a completely unknown place in the same room as a total stranger. She can smell the faint scent of paint and urine
she figures the smell is coming from the strange man as he looks like a guy off of one of those Jean Paul Gautier adverts, that bald sailor who is
always interested in the men rather than the women.
"Ah welcome back Miss Scuito!" The stranger says
"Who the hell are you?" Abby asks
"Thats for me to know and your idiot colleagues or yours to find out" He says
"Is that because you don't know it?" Abby asks sarcastically
The man walks up to Abby and slaps her, he was not happy with that comeback. He walks to the corner of the room where there is a small
table with things on it, she can see her dog collar, studded bracelets and her combat boots. He walks back to Abby and holds a picture in
her face. It is a picture of her and Emma in the lab working, from an angle that can only have taken by someone inside the lab, near the
plasma screen to be precise.
"You don't remember me do you?" He asks smiling
"How could you have taken that picture?" Abby asks
"Just as easily as it was to take Agent Todd!" The man says smiling
"What have you done with her you bastard?" Abby asked trying to break free from the chair she was tied to, her head began to throb
"Don't worry yourself she was dumped in your lift this afternoon" He said laughing
"You better have not hurt her!" Abby shouted
"It really all depends on what you mean by hurt?" He said
"Is she alright?" Abby asks
"She will be, but you won't if you don't shut up!" He said walking quickly towards her and grabbing her wrists
"Let me go" Abby screams
The man continues to squeeze her wrists as she tries to break free but she is in the same position Kate was in, chained by her wrists and ankles
and with her head throbbing intensively she has to stop before she passes out.
Ziva and Katie have been looking at files for the past five hours but still have not found anything
"There is nothing here" Ziva said throwing down the last of the files
The agent sitting opposite her looked up but did not respond, Ziva opened her eyes wide urging the agent to say something, anything
but the agent just looked back to what she was doing.
"Great" Ziva said sighing and sitting back in her chair
The elevator doors opened and out stepped Gibbs, Kate and Veron, they make their way to the bullpit and notice Ziva and the other agent
looking through hundreds of files.
"Officer David!" Gibbs barks
"Gibbs" Ziva says standing to her feet
"Any suspects?" Veron asks dropping a fruit slushie onto her desk
"Theres nothing here" Ziva says picking up the drink and taking a large sip
"Look harder!" Gibbs says and walks to his desk
Kate steps out from behind Ziva's desk and smiles at her.
"Who's the agent?" Kate asks
"Katie Minion, FBI" Ziva says
"Why are the FBI here?" Kate asks
"Trying to stick their noses in where they are not wanted" Ziva says
McGee makes his way to Emma's room and quitely enters, closing the door and finding a seat by her bed he sits down, he reaches out his hand
and holds Emma's in his. Emma opens her eyes and smiles.
"I thought i would come and see how you are doing" He says giving her a small grin
"Not too bad just feeling a little sick at the moment" Emma says
"I would have come sooner but i have been backed up at work" McGee says
"Thats ok i don't expect many visitors anyway" Emma says
McGee looks at emma and knows that something is not right, she looks different, worried, scared just not the woman he had met only a week or so ago
"Whats wrong?" McGee asks
"Nothing" Emma says looking away from him
"You can't get passed me that good" He says smiling
"I'm pregnant" Emma blurts out
"Congratulations" McGee says
"Yeah well its not needed" Emma says tearing up
"Why?" He asks
"I'm not ready for this" Emma says
"So you are not going to keep it?" McGee asks
"I'm not sure, i can't do this , not now" She says anger in her tone
"I'l go and let you have your rest" McGee says standing up to go
"Tim" she said
"Yeah" he said
"Please don't tell anyone" she asks
"You have my word" McGee says
