One More Tragedy: An NCIS Fanfiction
Episode Tag/Spoilers for 14/10 "Keep Going"
Jimmy Palmer had just poured out his heart and soul to Ryan to keep him from going over the edge. It was working, Gibbs was pulling Ryan back into the building, but Ryan wanted to die. He wormed his way out Gibbs' grasp, grabbed Jimmy, and moved away.
"Don't come any closer or I'll take him with me!" Ryan yelled as Gibbs tried to follow them.
Jimmy then realized something terrible; when Ryan had escaped Gibbs, he stole Gibbs' gun. Gibbs seemed to realize his too as he reached for his holster and didn't have his gun.
Ryan pointed the gun at Jimmy, "I will shoot him, and I will jump."
"No you won't Ryan. You can't. It's too hard for you to murder someone as well as yourself!" Jimmy exclaimed with a tremor in his voice.
This set Ryan off, and he pulled the trigger on the gun. Jimmy heard a loud bang, and felt a searing pain through his chest. He screamed.
Gibbs was hoping that Jimmy's pouring his heart and soul out to Ryan would work. And it was, until Ryan stole his gun and grabbed Jimmy.
All Gibbs was thinking when Ryan pulled out the gun and told them what he was going to do was that Palmer shouldn't do anything stupid. But, as Gibbs watched in shock, Palmer freaked out and yelled at Ryan.
When Ryan shot Jimmy, Gibbs closed his eyes until he heard the scream.
Gibbs opened his eyes to see that Ryan's shot was going to kill Palmer unless he got medical attention ASAP. But, he knew he wouldn't get the medical attention when Ryan closed his eyes and stepped off the building, with Palmer in his arms.
"No!" Ducky heard Gibbs shout as Ryan jumped. Ducky knew the firefighters had the jump pad, but it wasn't inflated yet.
For Ducky, everything was happening in slow motion. He ran towards where he thought they would would land, but he wasn't fast enough. Ryan had pushed Jimmy away mid fall, and there were two loud crunching sounds as they hit the ground.
Ducky saw that Timothy and Eleanor were already next to Jimmy, and that Torres and Gibbs were headed down.
When Ducky reached Jimmy he kneeled next to him and found that he was still alive, but barely.
Ducky held Jimmy's hand until the ambulance arrived. When it did, they loaded Jimmy into the back, but wouldn't let Ducky in. "Please, I'm a doctor, I can help!" Ducky argued, and they finally let the grief stricken man into the ambulance.
Tim got in the car and drove everyone to the hospital. It was very quiet Tim thought, too quiet. It was in times like these that he wished Tony hadn't left and that he was there to make a few jokes.
Tim realized that he should call Tony and tell him what happened. As he thought this his phone rang, and he had Gibbs answer.
"Hello?" Gibbs asked, "DiNozzo? I'm putting you on speaker," Gibbs pressed a button, "Okay Tony, what do you want?"
"Guys, I still follow the news from home, and I saw what happened to autopsy gremlin. How is he?" The voice of the one and only Tony DiNozzo asked.
"Tony, it's not good. We are headed to the hospital now, and Ducky is with him," Tim said as they were pulling into the hospital parking lot.
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs barked, "We will call you back when we know more okay."
"Okay, bye boss, bye probies!" Tony said before hanging up.
Tim parked the car and started running towards the hospital. When he got in, he saw Ducky waiting with a somber expression. "Ducky," Tim started, "What's wrong?"
Ducky looked like he was going to cry.
