A/N: So this is my first attepmt at fanfiction. I wanted to try something small at first and see how that went. So here's a taste of Abby's thoughts after she finds out that Ziva, Tony adn McGee were injured during "Corporal Punishment." The things in bold are direct lines form the episode. I would love to here any feedback! Thanks and hopefully enjoy!

Abby pushed the end-call on her phone before Gibbs had finished talking. His voice circled in her head:

McGee, Tony and Ziva were injured by the marine we were after.

Ripping off her lab coat she threw it down onto he closest hard suirface, not bothering to see what it landed on top of. She rushed to the elevator, and repeatedly stabbed the "up" button with her finger.

"C'mon, C'mon ,C'mon," she whispered to the doors.

They opened slowly and she bolted inside, immediately jabbing the button that would take her to the main floor. Abby bounced with anticipation as the elevator ascended tauntingly sluggish. Gibbs hadn't told her many details only that there had been a trip to the hospital involved. Abby's stomach churned with worry.

"Please hurry up," she pleaded with the elevator.

Finally the doors slid open and Abby bounded through them. She rounded the corner quickly and the vacant desks of Tony and McGee glared at her brightly.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God,"she muttered rushing to the centre of the room.

If Tony and McGee hadn't been hurt very badly they would have been back by now. She would know that they were alright and she would have the reassuring sight of McGee glued to his computer screen, and of Tony annoying Ziva....

Ziva. Ziva was seated at her desk typing on her keyboard as if nothing had happened. Abby wove around the desks towards Ziva, resisting the urge to leap on her with a hug. As the Israeli looked up, Abby's breath caught in her throat. Ziva's eye was swollen , and a purple bruise was beginning to paint itself across her skin.

"Oh my God!" Abby exclaimed, worry and anger constricting her.

The marine had made a direct hit with Ziva, that was a sign right there that he was dangerous! What was so wrong with this man that he had to go attack the people who were trying to help him; the people she cared about! Abby couldn't understand why they were helping this psychotic man. HE had hurt the team; shouldn't Gibbs be at the man's throat because he had tried to kill them? Why was Gibbs even allowing the marine to stay here in the bulding?

"Abby Calm down!"

Ziva's sharp tone snapped Abby out of her shock
