Ncis: Phantom Pain
(A Ncis McEllie Fanfic I thought about after playing MGS V PHANTOM PAIN… please enjoy)
McGee and Ellie were sent to the suspect's home to bring him into interrogation, a bomb was placed in the naval vessels commanders chair, he sat down and it blew taking him and the office with it.
Abby traced the chemicals in the bomb to one purchase made by a disgraced sailor who was kicked out of the navy due to his violent and volatile behaviour, his ex-wife who was engaged to marry the victim had filed assault charges a few years ago.
Ellie walked around the back as McGee looked through the windows before forming up on the door, Ellie tested the handle and smiled to McGee seeing it was unlocked but for McGee who had more experience in this situation was feeling uneasy and he was right, as soon as the door opened they heard a click and something beeping, McGee froze in horror and had seconds to react so wrapping his arms around Ellie's waist and he threw her back behind him to shield her from the blast, shrapnel shredded through him as he yelled in pain, the force of the explosion send them both to the ground hard as the house went up in flames.
Ellie groaned a little groggy from the impact but her body froze at the sight of McGee's bloodied body lying on the floor, dialling her cell phone she called the nearest hospital in Bethesda and waited for the ambulance.
Gibbs, Ducky, Abby and Tony arrived seconds later at the hospital once they heard what happened, McGee's parents and Sarah were nowhere in sight and Ellie was sat on the chair covered in dirt with a bandage on her head, Ellie turned her head and she got to her feet.
"How is he?" Gibbs asked wondering if his agent was going to be ok.
"He's in surgery, I have not heard anything yet" she replied.
"What happened?" Gibbs asked her and she lowered her head "It's my fault, I opened the door and set off some sort of trap, McGee pulled me behind him… he saved my life" Ellie replied lowering her head, Gibbs sighed "It's not your fault Ellie"
"Are you all here for Timothy McGee?" the sound of the Doctor had drew their attention, they turned to him and they nodded their heads in acknowledgement "How is he doctor?" Abby asked and the doctor looked down before looking to them all with a grim expression "We've managed to remove most of the shrapnel that was lodged in his body… it's a miracle that they missed his organs, but…" he stopped trying to find the way to break the news "But what?" Gibbs asked with a low growl getting annoyed "I'm afraid that we could not save the right arm, there was simply too much damage to it… we had to amputate it"
Ellie felt light and she sat on the seat nearby taking deep breathes as Gibbs and the others was shocked at the news.
"So what's going to happen now" Gibbs asked.
"Well we have a Bionics expert in the hospital looking for the right test subject for his new prototype arm, I am going to point him in McGee's direction" Gibbs nodded his head as the others went to sit down, Ellie was letting her tears fall freely as the memory of what happened flowed through her mind like a tidal wave.
"Ellie… it was not your fault" Gibbs placed a hand on her shoulder and she nodded her head.
Breaking the news:
McGee woke a few hours after the surgery and he smiled when he saw Ellie sitting next to him with a solemn look in her eyes.
"Hey" he said in a mere whisper.
"Hey" she replied to him reaching for his left hand and giving it a squeeze.
"You ok?" he asked seeing the bandage on her head.
"I'm fine, just a headache now" she replied biting her lip.
"I can't move my right arm, I feel it but I can't move it" McGee said and she nodded as tears filled her eyes "McGee… I am sorry, they tried" McGee turned his head to the side looking confused "They couldn't save your arm" McGee closed his eyes as he turned his head to the right afraid to see his arm but had to see it for himself, taking a few deep breaths he opened he whimpered as he saw it, from his elbow down was completely gone.
