Chapter Text
“Ah Jethro I didn't expect that you would still be here” Ducky says as Gibbs walks through the sliding glass doors.
“Yeah well something doesn't sit right with me.”
“You and me both” Ducky says as he hands over a file which Gibbs grabs.
They talk about the case and right as he was about to leave something caught Gibbs' attention and he looks over to see Shadow on top of the freezer again.
“Shadow?” Ducky turns around.
“Huh I thought she too would have already left.”
“Shadow!” Gibbs called out,
Shadow woke with a jolt. She looked at them with blurry eyes. “Gibbs?” She yawns.
“You good?” Gibbs asks.
“Huh? yeah I'm fine.”
“Shouldn't you be out patrolling?”
“Mhm probably” she mumbles.
“When was the last time that you slept?”
“Just a moment ago.”
“Before that”
“Um it's been a few days”
“How many days?” Ducky asks.
“Three or four days ago” Shadow answers with a shrug.
“Shadow! That's too long to go without sleep.”
“Well if people would stop trying to kill themselves or to stop causing trouble then I would be able to sleep better.”
