Nell Attacked

Summary- When Nell is in OPS she is one of the most confident people around but after a night with her boyfriend that all that changes.

Some references to rape and abuse, please don't read if you feel you might get triggered.

Nell had been in a relationship with Tom a civilian contractor with Department of Defence for about a month and at first everything was fine. They would go out to dinner, have date night then things got bad. After they had been dating for about a month Tom had been out at a function and had come to Nell's afterwards to see her. Tom knocked on Nell's door. She opened it to find him drunk slumped against the door frame.

"Hi Nelly" he slurred as he touched her face.

"You're drunk" She said. "You need to call a cab, go home and sleep."

"I need you Nelly" He slurred as he grabbed face and tried to kiss her. Nell moved her face out of the way. "Nelly" he said as said he tried to kiss her again. Nell moved out of the way again. Tom was starting to get angry. He pushed his way into Nell's apartment pushing Nell out of the way in the process.

"What you don't want me anymore! You're seeing someone else aren't you?" He said

Nell knew the only way out of this was to stay calm. "No I'm not. I'm with you. But right now Tom you need to leave." Said Nell as she pointed towards the door.

Tom smiled and walked over to Nell and punched her square in the face just below her eye. "You don't tell me what to do and I want you and that's what I'm going to get." Tom had gotten angry knocking photos and items of the tables as he moved around her living room.

Tom hit Nell again causing her to split her head open. She fell to the floor and Tom unbuttoned his pants and was ontop of her before she could get away from him. Nell started to thrash to try and get him off her, but it was useless he was to strong. She felt his fist connect with other side of her face as he pinned Nell's arms and hands to floor using his legs as he ripped open her shirt. Nell tried to scream but she couldn't get the words out. It was like she was frozen, she couldn't talk, she tried to fight, it was like she was paralyzed, completely aware of what he was doing to her but powerless to stop it. He could feel his hands roaming all over her body. The touch of him made her sick. He grabbed onto her pants pulled them down and forced himself inside her.

After what felt like an eternity he had finished and had gotten dressed and walked out the door leaving Nell crawled up in a ball in the corner, crying battered, bruised and shaken.

Meanwhile the sun was coming up over Los Angeles and the OSP office was getting busier every minute as staff arrived. Kensi, Deeks, Callen, Sam, Hetty and Eric were all early as usual but no sign of Nell.

"Has anyone seen Nell this morning?" Asks Eric.

"No, haven't seen her yet?" Said Kensi

"Maybe she's just late." Suggested Deeks.

"Nell is never late, she too organized too precise." Said Kensi

"Car trouble?" Said Deeks

"She would have called." Said Kensi

"Maybe she just slept in?"

"Possible." Said Kensi

"G and I are heading out to get some breakfast. We'll call in and check on her."

15 minutes later after Callen and Sam had finished breakfast the pulled up outside Nell's apartment.

"Well her cars still here." Said Callen

"Eric's going to be so disappointed if she had a date last night." Said Sam as he chuckled as he knew Eric had a crush on her.

Callen and Sam walked up and knocked on the door.

"Nell...Nell you there?" Said Callen. Nell heard a knock on the door but didn't respond.

Sam looked through her curtains into her living room and saw the table knocked over and blood on the floor in the living room.

Sam pulled out his weapon. "G, furniture is knocked over there is blood on the floor." Callen pulled out his weapon as Sam kicked in the door.

"Nell" they yelled at the same time as they went down the hallway and cleared each room and ended up back in the living room. Callen spotted Nell crying and bruised in the corner curled up in a ball.

"Sam, I've got her." Callen rushed over to Nell and saw the bruising on her face, her torn clothes, he could feel the anger build inside of him. Who would want to hurt Nell. Sam followed not to long afterwards and couldn't believe that someone had done this to Nell. He was angry but didn't let his emotion show. He knew he had to be there for Nell.

Nell saw Callen and Sam approaching her and without even thinking she recoiled further into the ball as they approached her.

"Sam, she's been attacked, we need an ambulance now and we need to call Hetty and let her know."

Sam pulled out his phone and dialed for an ambulance.

Each time Callen got closer Nell re-coiled further into the corner. She knew he wasn't here to hurt her he was here to help but she was just in shock after what happened.

"Nell, it's Callen. Sam's here as well. Ambulance is on the way. You're bleeding. Can I have a look have a look?" ""I promise I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to make sure you're okay. Nell just looked at Callen and nodded slowly.

Callen put on his gloves and looked at Nell's head wound. "Sam, it's pretty big gash. Can you grab something to help stop the bleeding." Sam went into the kitchen and grabbed some paper towel and put pressure against the wound.

"Nell. Can you tell me what happened." Said Callen

Nell couldn't look at Callen. She was too ashamed and just continued to look down avoiding all eye contact with him.

Sam stepped out of the room to call Hetty.

"Mr Hanna, did you find Ms Jones."

"She's been attacked Hetty. She's in a pretty bad way Callen's with her now. Ambulance is on the way." Hetty drew a breath.

"Have Mr Callen ride with Ms Jones to the hospital. You secure the crime scene. I'll send Ms Blye and Mr Deeks onto your location and I will meet Mr Callen at the hospital"

10 minutes the ambulance arrived. The paramedics arrived and tried to treat Nell who was in almost a trance like state. Callen tried to break through to her.

"Nell, its Callen, the paramedics are here. We need to get you to the hospital. I'm going to help you up okay?" Nell who was basically functioning on autopilot nodded slowly as Callen put his hands around her waist and helped her up. She recoiled at his touch. He noticed this loosened his grip from around her waist. He escorted Nell to the ambulance and jumped in to ride with her to the hospital.

Back at Nell's apartment Deeks and Kensi had arrived to find Sam at her front door along with LAPD.

"What the hell happened?" Said Kensi

"We found her curled up in the corner, black and blue with a large gash on her forehead. Callen's with her, they're on their way to the hospital to get checked out."

"Did she say what happened?" Asked Deeks

"No, she was pretty traumatized when we found her. She even recoiled when Callen and I tried to approach her.

"She was raped?" Asks Kensi

"We don't know, she still hasn't spoken." Said Sam

Sam turned and looked out into the ocean. "Don't worry Sam, we'll find out who did this." Said Kensi as they all entered Nell's apartment.
