Blah, Blah, you know the rest :)

After the news of Tony, Ziva, and McGee's reassignments, they were all upset and wanted answers

After the news of Tony, Ziva, and McGee's reassignments, they were all upset and wanted answers. Why were they being reassigned? Though, deep down, Gibbs knew the answer, he wasn't ready to give up on his team. His family.

"How can he do this?" Abby asked, almost in tears at the thought of losing the entire team that she grew to love more than anything.

"He's the director. He can do what he wants." McGee replied as he sat with Abby in her lab.

"First we lose Kate, then Director Shepard, now…" She couldn't finish her sentence before she started to choke up.

"I know. It's…" McGee was cut off by his ex-boss.

"It's wrong. I'm not going to let this happen. Not now." Gibbs said, slightly softer than what everyone was used to.

"Gibbs…" Abby said as she latched herself onto him. "He can't take them away." She cried.

"Shh, Abs..." He whispered. "Have I ever given up in a fight?" He said as he pulled her away from him. "They aren't going anywhere. Not if I can help it." He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"There is nothing that can be done. We all know it. It's time to accept it." Ziva said as she walked into the lab to see her colleagues for the last time. She set her box of belongings down and walked over to Gibbs.

"Ziva!" Abby cried.

"Ziva, she just doesn't want to see us go." McGee replied quietly.

"I don't want to leave but, how can we fight him." She said turning to Gibbs. "There's nothing we can do, is there?"

"I…" Gibbs started to speak but cut himself off, not wanting to give false hope to the woman he grew to love like a daughter. "I don't know. I'm not going to give up, though. I can't let you go back to Mossad. Not after…" Stopping himself, he looked her in the eyes. Instantly, Ziva knew what he was going to say.

"Well," Ziva started to speak. "I should probably go back t-" She turned to walk out the room when suddenly there was an extremely loud gunshot. They all took cover.

"What was that?" Gibbs asked, looking around at the people who grew to love as if they were his family.

"We're fine." McGee whispered as he shielded Abby.

"Ziva?" Gibbs asked, looking around the room trying to find her. "Ziva?!" He cried.

"Boss!" Tony cried from the hallway.

I will be continuing as soon as possible :)
