Pairings: Gibbs/ Abby eventually- Tony/ Ziva- McGee/ Kaylon
Summary: When Gibbs left the team had to learn to survive on their own. Abby is shot, when Gibbs hears he rushes home. Realizing that he would regret not saying goodbye
When Special Agent Gibbs retired unrepentantly two years ago his team were hurt, lost, and confused, but they pulled themselves together. Tony toned down his easy-going lifestyle and became the Leader the team was proud to call theirs. Ziva David became comfortable being herself, and more relaxed. Allowing herself to actually have friends. Timothy McGee became more confident in his role within the group, but it was Abby that was changed the most. Her music, though still 'gothic', was never played excessively loud, her attire was toned down, still gothic but less provocative. Her team had become very protective of the young dark scientist. But no matter how they tried, Abby couldn't take the memories, so after 10 months she too left. Back to her roots, but she returned to visit with her sister.
"Campfire." Team Leader Dinozzio called as he walked into the bullpen. Immediately his desk was surrounded by McGee and Ziva ready to bounce and trade information and ideas of their latest case. "Boss, new case?" McGee asked ready to take on anything. "You could say that. Mikel Mower escaped nearly six months ago, but we are just getting word now that he was spotted in the area, on Abby's weekend. We have reason to believe that he will come after Abby again. So until he is behind bars again Abby will be under around the clock protection. One of us will be with her and Sophie at all times…" Just then a loud ear piercing screech sounded throughout the building. Panicked the team were on their feet and running before Tony's pencil even touched the floor.
"ABBY! ABBY!" Alarms were blaring as agents ran in different directions but Tony's team just ran harder down the stairs with each second passing. After what seemed like an eternity to Tony they finally reached Abby's lab. Throwing caution to the wind Tony ran inside finding glass covering almost every inch of the usually spotless floor. In a growing puddle of blood laid the team's Dark Angel. Acting on instinct Tony slid to Abby's side and checked for a pulse. Relief washed through the team leader when he found a faint one. "Ziva call a bus." He yelled over his shoulder. "Probie, I want surveillance tapes now. I want to know how the psycho got past security." Tony rolled the loveable lab rat over to locate the entrance wound. He found two. One straight through the shoulder but the other went through the abdomen.
"Don't you dare die. Abs." Tony whispered truly scared. Time seemed to slow down as Tony just sat on the floor, waiting for this to be all a dream, but he made a mistake an glance at Sophie. It wasn't a dream.
