A Pain Never Forgotten (NCIS) - Part Two

Chapter Three

Kelly pulled into the NCIS base and saw her old Porsche 911 that now belonged to Tony already parked up. She parked at the opposite side of the car park and rushed into the building she just needed to get this over and done with. She ran into the lift and went straight down into autopsy.

"Hey Duck, can you just spare a moment and come with me back to the bullpen?"

"Of course my dear, Jethro said you were ill are you feeling better now?" He enquired following her into the lift

"Yes, something like that Ducky"

Kelly went to see Abby and requested the same of her, Abby turned to hug Kelly and flooded her with questions about how she was feeling, Kelly replied politely but her head was in a whole other place.

Kelly reached the bullpen and saw all the people that she knew, loved and now classed as her family. She looked towards her dad and just couldn't believe everything that happened. She had been kidnapped from her parents as revenge, filled with years of lies after been told that her father knew that she was alive but had moved on and when full of anger was sent halfway across the world to kill him. The guardians who had looked after her who had just years before killed her mother. She had just been taken to be used and become part of their silly games to get revenge on Gibbs. How could I be so stupid?

Kelly couldn't wait any longer. "Guys I'm glad you're all here, I just want you to know that I love you so much and I'm so happy about how my life has changed in the last couple of months and how you guys have supported me and saved me from my previous life"

Kelly looked from face to face McGee looked worried about what she was going to say, her dad looked concerned, Abby looked like she was about to cry, Tony was confused and Ducky was showing a soft smile.

"But you all know why I was sent here" they exchanged glances between one and other "and those things that used to look after me, destroyed my childhood and then created a web of lies to change my thoughts about you all and then for me to get time off and transferred from my old team to this one, but it's been over two months now and I need to go back to my job, my team need me even if I never wanted to be in the Royal Navy Police it happened and I’ve grown close to my team back in England and I actually started to enjoy my job and I felt like I was helping people. I'm sorry but I'm leaving, so I can go back to England, even though I love it here, it's not my home. I've grown up in England even if it was without my family. I am very fond of it so I must go home. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow but I will come back to come and see you all. Sorry"

Kelly turned to leave, she could hear her dad shouting after her but she didn't want to see him. She called the lift and jumped in before her dad could catch her. She ran to her car and sped off out of the base in case they were following her.  When Kelly got back to her apartment she started to pack.  She’d ordered her plane ticket over the phone on the way to NCIS and had managed to get a ticket for the early hours the next day. She packed up all of her clothes in a variety of cases that she had. She started to clean the apartment scrubbing all of the sides and taking down all the ornaments, pictures and personal bits and bobs. She took a picture off the fireplace and looked at the picture, the faces looking back at her where the ones that she had just given her speech to at the base, they all looked so happy and united. Tears stung her eyes.

She then went into her bathroom and continued scrubbing the surfaces and then the sink, bath and shower. Kelly just didn't want to think about anything, cleaning just takes her mind off it. She grabbed the bin to empty it and saw the pregnancy test and its two lines. She knew that it was the right decision.

Kelly piled up the suitcases on her sofa and chose a couple to take with her. She ran outside and placed them in the car, she grabbed her passport and documentation looking back at her apartment and smiled she loved this place and didn't want to leave. She also loved her apartment in England, even if it was full of horrible memories she wanted to make new ones there. She sat in her car put the key in the ignition and set off for the airport.

After Kelly had parked her car up, she emptied everything out of it and set off to find where she needed to be. She pulled out her phone, her dad had called like 10 times and McGee, Ziva and Tony had sent her messages. I just sent them all the same text 'I'll call you when I land in England, love you x'

Kelly didn’t want to stay in her apartment in case someone came to see her to change her mind after they had finished work, Kelly began pacing and panicking and wondering if she was doing the right thing the plane was called, she took her seat placed her hands over stomach she knew she was doing the right thing she then drifted off to sleep. It had been a hard day.
