I wrote this when I was thirteen after watching Hiatus, and nearly crying when Gibbs didn't remember the team.
The warehouse was packed full of huge wooden crates all stacked on top of each other. NCIS Special Agents Gibbs and DiNozzo had followed a terrorist into it and were now searching for him through the labyrinth of crates.
"Go left, Tony." said Gibbs motioning to one pathway through the crates. Tony made his way through the small passage underneath the huge crate, the smell of wood and sawdust in the air nearly suffocating him. He slowly made his way out of the tunnel and into the next one. Outside he heard the squeal of breaks and the crunch of footsteps on the gravel, he watched the backdoor and saw Ziva slip through. She disappeared behind the crates before he could get her attention. Suddenly there was a crash and gun fire, multiple shots echoed through the warehouse. Then after a few seconds a single shot rang though the warehouse then it fell silent. DiNizzo ran towards the noise to find the terrorist lying face down a bullet in his head.
DiNozzo nearly sighed with relief until he heard a raspy breath. Both Ziva and McGee were gathered around Gibbs who was lying on the ground with a bullet through his chest. Ziva had tears in her eyes and as Gibbs spoke they started to pour down her face.
"Tony, I'm not gonna get outta this one it's your team now for good, you're ready."
He turned to McGee, "Tim you're a great Agent and don't let Tony tell you otherwise, Ziva I owe you everything." His eyes closed the slowly opened again and with one last breath he said, "I couldn't have asked for a better team."
Then in a small cramped warehouse surrounded by his team Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs died.
"Special Agent Gibbs was a man I looked up to, a man who taught me so much, he wasn't the kindest or most understanding person in the world, but he was the best agent NCIS will ever have and he was definitely the best boss. I don't think I would have become half the agent I am today without his guidance. Thank you boss, for everything." Agent DiNozzo looked out onto the sea of, cramped into the small church. Among them the tear streaked face of Abby, the pained eyes of Ducky, and even Fornell had come to mourn the passing of Gibbs.
Ducky stood up and walked to the microphone and started to speak, "Jethro wasn't only a close colleague, but a friend, he was a man with many flaws, but his flaws were the best thing about him. He was an excellent agent but a troubled man, his work was his life. He was the greatest. Jethro has affected everyone he has met and his memory will live on with us forever."
The ceremony was short and each member of the team gave a short speech, McGee, Ziva, Abby and Fornell, but of course just like Gibbs would have wanted it the next day it was back in action. DiNozzzo took the position as team leader and a new probie was assigned, Special Agent Flynn.
Though, everyday someone be it, Abby, Ducky, Tony, McGee, Ziva, or Vance thought of Gibbs.
Review please, tell me what you think.
