AN - sorry this is so short! I will try to update it more tonight after work as well

When Mikel exited Abby's room, a grin on his face he was confronted by two angry guards.

"You are not to sweep in yet… the plan requires her to think no-one cares."

"b…b….b..but you said I could get her when you were done messing!"

"We're done messing now… the cops might be onto us now; we think it's time to cut our losses. Eli doesn't care what happens to her now, he just want her outta the picture. Best do it while Ziva still believes."

"NO! You can't hurt Abby! Not now!"

Meanwhile Abby is sitting on her bed, she doesn't know if she was meant to overhear that or not, but it doesn't matter anymore. No-one is coming for her, and she just kissed Mikel.

Mikel seems nice enough; he seems willing to defend her. As long as she has him she will be ok.

Sadly, if that sound of gunfire is to be believed, she may no longer have him any more.

Nowhere will be safe for her, or for the rest of the team.
