I rush over to McGee as the mysterious figure disappears upstairs. "McGee?... McGee? Answer me!"

I sit in the silence for hours. Waiting. For something. Someone. Anything. Anyone. I hear a cough. I look over to see McGee struggling to sit up. As he flails I see the blood crusted on his lip. "Ashton?" he asks.

"Yeah, McGee. I'm right here." I say as a move closer to him.

"What happened?"

"You got punched, McGee. Hard. Look at you! Your lip is broke open, your eye is black and blue, your cheek is swollen. All because you stood up for me. Thank you." I pull him into a hug.

"Aw. Isn't that just the sweetest." I hear the strange voice again.

"Who are you?"

"Your worst nightmare." I hear a door behind me creak open. I turn around to look and am terrified to see the same dead body that has been reappearing inside. I scream and start to cry.

"Stop it! Leave us alone!" McGee shouts. Just as he does we hear a door crash open.

"NCIS! You're under arrest!" I hear Gibbs voice ring.

"You bastard took my wife!" I hear Jimmy shout, as the strange man tumbles down the stairs. "Take that!"

"Jimmy!" I yell.

"Ashton! Are you alright?" Jimmy comes running down the stairs towards me.

"Yes. I think." I start to stand up but my legs tumble under my weight.

"Ash! What happened? Why are you weak? Did he hit you? Kick you?"

"I don't think so... I don't remember much... I do know that I don't feel to good though. My stomach is upset." Jimmy picks me up and I wrap my arms around his neck. "You able to get up McGee?"

"Yeah. I can walk." McGee replies.
