Author note: Welcome all! I think I should tell you now in advance that I am terrible at updating stories, so please be patient with me. ;D okay so this is an idea I have been forming with my wonderful sister and best friend, Left My Heart In Paris for a while now. I know basically what is going to happen but feel free to suggest any ideas that pop up into your brains!
Disclaimer: I only own my mind, so hands off!
My hands are cold my body's numb, I'm still in shock what have you done, My head is pounding, my vision's blur, Your mouth is moving, I don't hear a word. I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room; can anybody help me with these exit wounds?
For a small moment she swore she felt rain on her face. She hadn't been able to feel or hear anything for 20 minutes; she was pumped full of adrenaline. The last thing she remembered hearing was a gunshot and then her partner shout her name.
"Patient's name is Ziva David, 29 year old female with GSW to the chest" the paramedic announced as she wheeled the patient into the ER at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.
"Okay, trauma room two" Dr Owen Hint directed them to a room and took over.
Ziva's head was spinning. But she was sure she could make out the face of a red headed, blue eyed man in dark blue scrubs standing next to her. Her suspicions were confirmed when he saw that her eyes were open and he started talking to her and shining a light in her eyes.
"Miss David, can you hear me?" Owen questioned as he examined her.
"It's pronounced Dah-veed" she grumbled and tried to sit up.
All the people in the room tried to stop her, but they didn't even need to try, because she stop before she even got a millimetre into a sitting position as she got a sharp pain in her chest and couldn't breathe so she stopped moving.
Dr Hunt checked her breath sounds "Shallow breath sounds on the right side"
Another doctor's voice could be heard "She is losing too much blood!"
Ziva started to feel really drowsy and felt like she wanted to sleep for eternity.
"Give one of morphine, page an OR and Dr Altman, now" Owen commanded. Ziva felt as if someone was pushing her in the ribs, her whole word was everywhere, she didn't know if she was up or down.
Owen help pressure on the chest wound and jumped onto the side of the gurney as they were wheeled out of the room and towards an OR, where he and Dr Altman could save this young woman's life.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs parked in the first parking space he found at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. As soon as he stopped Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo tried to get out of the car and run to the entrance. He stopped once he felt his bosses hand make contact with the back of his head.
"You can't do anything more for her. She is in the safest place in the world" Gibbs stated to his team member.
"Thanks Boss" Tony replied as he realised he was being a bit irrational. But truth be told, he was petrified that the last time he saw her; being wheeled into an ambulance covered in blood, was going to be the last time he ever saw her and he didn't think he could live without her, although he would never admit that to anyone, not even her.
Special Agent Timothy McGee sat in the back seat with a box of Ziva's positions next to him. It had; her sig and badge, her jacket, the items from her pocket, her phone and it wouldn't be Ziva's things if it didn't contain two knives. Her jacket was blood stained and not just a little, the three men on her team could not bear to look at it; it only bought them more guilt than they already felt.
Gibbs felt he was to blame for this horrific predicament; it was his decision to help out an old friend and investigate that case in Seattle. If they hadn't have come, she wouldn't have got hurt.
Tony felt he was to blame; he shouldn't have let her leave his sight, they are partners; they are meant to work together and a team.
Tim felt like it was his fault; he should have looked out for his fellow team member; he knew she would for him.
Tony was carrying the box that contained all they had of Ziva for the moment, at least they hoped it would only be a moment and not permanent.
The three men approached a nurse's station.
Gibbs addressed the woman standing behind it looking at a chart, she was a short woman with dark hair, and she wore dark blue scrubs and a white lab coat. "We need to know the condition of Ziva David; she was bought in with a gunshot wound to the chest"
"And you think I can help you? Do I look like a nurse?" the women replied rather harshly.
Gibbs gave her the stare. She took longer to break that other people but eventually she caved.
"What was the name?" she rolled her eyes as she sat down at the computer.
"Dah-veed; spelt D-A-V-I-D" Gibbs said whilst losing his patience
"She is in OR three with Dr Hunt. Do you want me to page him so you can get an update?" the short women questioned with an attitude.
Gibbs just nodded and stared.
"If you go up to the third floor" she pointed to the elevators "you will find a waiting area, and I am sure someone will come out a speak to you"
Gibbs nodded and went to wait for the lift along with McGee. Tony went up to the woman "Thank you Dr…"
"Bailey" the woman replied but did not smile; that knocked DiNozzo down a few pegs; no woman could ever resist his smile, well except Ziva. Which reminded him that he wanted, no he needed to find out if she was okay, so he went to the lift.
They had been sitting in the waiting area for what felt like hours but was only 20 minutes when a doctor approached the area.
"People for Ziva David?" Ziva's colleagues, ultimate friends and substitute family stood to greet the doctor.
"I'm Dr Hunt; I am head of Trauma at the hospital. Now before I divulge any information I need to know who she is to you all" Owen stayed professional.
"I'm her boss, she works for my team and this is special agent DiNozzo and Special agent McGee, who are also on my team" Gibbs reported to the surgeon "Special agent Gibbs, NCIS" Gibbs then showed his badge. Owen nodded and gestured for the men to sit down. They did.
"She lost a lot of blood…
