Bishop said, waking up.She was in bed, covered by the sheets and the blanket.'Hey, Ellie'.'Good morning' she said, slightly smiling.'Good morning' he replied.'Did I fall asleep?' she asked.'Yes, you did' he answered, sitting on the bed.'Sorry, you waited here.''No, it's ok'.'Thanks Nick, you are kind-hearted' she said, holding his hand.He smiled at his partner.'Can I do anything?' he asked.'No, you did enough. You should be at work, shouldn't you?''No, they can solve the case without me, you are my priority'.'Nick, I'm a grown woman, I can take care of myself.''It's just... you don't have to stay alone.'

'Ok, talk to me. - she said, sitting on the chair in front of his desk - But first, give me a mug of coffee'.'Ok, chief' he replied, smiling.'So, what's the problem?' she asked, drinking her coffee.'Half of the team isn't here' he answered.'Bishop can't work, Torres is with her' she stated'And what does Gibbs say?''He doesn't speak a lot, but he understood the situation.''He has to keep the team together' he stated.'He's doing it' she said.'Boss, Max Harris is here' McGee said.'Good, go to question him, take Reeves.''And what are you gonna do?' he asked.'Something' he answered.McGee and Reeves nodded, as they went to the interrogation room, and Gibbs grabbed his phone.'Nick'.'Yes?' he asked.Ellie smiled when he turned around, noticing how he was simply pure. Nick Torres didn't show his careful side very much but at that moment, she saw it. She saw how he was ready to do something to make her feel better, how he was completely committed to her, how he cared about her.She was going to speak, she was really going to say something important, but Nick's phone rang.'Hi, Gibbs' he said.'Hi, Torres. How's Bishop?''She's fine. - he replied, going outside Ellie's room - She slept.'Ellie glanced at him, as she was still hearing a few words.'That's a good news' Gibbs stated.'Yes, it is. Do you need me?''No, you can stay there. Take care of her.''Ok. News about the case?''Yeah, McGee and Reeves are talking with a victim's friend.''Ok. Bye''Bye, Nick'.He hung up and came back to Bishop.'Any problem?' she asked.'No' he answered.'Good'.'What did you want to tell me?''Oh, just wanna thank you'.'For what?' he asked.'You know, breaking down doors, staying here, taking care of me'.'You can count on me for break down doors' he replied.She laughed; she hadn't done it for a while.
