Full Summary:
What if Tony had been shot in the episode 'Boxed In'? Will Gibbs and the others find Tony & Ziva before DiNozzo bleeds to death? And will DiNozzo survive long enough to get to the hospital?
The Shootout:
The Port:
Walking around the Port, they should have known that something bad was going to happen. There was no doubt in Ziva's mind that something bad was going to happen, but it's not like they could have planned for it to go the way they wanted. When they got to the open container, they looked in but saw nothing. Ziva grabbed Tony's arm and pulled him behind the boxes as the guy with the gun started shooting from behind the forklift. They were doing pretty good, keeping their own ground. Ziva had her back turned away from Tony as she was firing at someone and Tony was firing at the guy behind the forklift. As they moved to take shelter inside the container, a lucky shot rang out and Tony hit the ground, hard.
"Ahhh!"
"Tony!"
The Box:
Ziva grabbed Tony and helped him up and into the box. They both still had their guns so they could at least shoot anyone that came into view. But it didn't happen that way. Instead of coming into view, the doors were shut on them and locked. Ziva helped Tony sit down and took a look at his shoulder. Tony was already starting to slip unconscious, but Ziva grabbed his shoulder and pressed on it, making him snap back to consciousness.
"Jeez Ziva, that hurts!"
"You need to stay awake Tony. I'm not going to let you fall asleep on me."
"Sleep sounds good right now though."
"I don't care. When Gibbs and McGee figure out that we're missing they'll come looking for us. And when they find us, they're going to want to see that we are both okay."
"Yea, well you might be okay, but I definitely am not. Did the bullet go all the way through?"
"Let me look. Can you lean forward for me?"
"I'll do my best."
Tony leaned as far forward as he could go. Ziva removed the shoulder of his jacket and looked at his back. She closed her eyes when she saw no exit wound. She put his jacket shoulder back on and helped him lean back against the box.
"There is no exit wound Tony. The bullet is still in you."
"Well, that's not good."
"What, no ritorical anything from a movie or anything?"
"No, not in the mood. Why don't you figure out why they were so interested in keeping us away from this container?"
"And what are you going to do in the mean time?"
"Bore you with my snoring?"
"Not even funny Tony. Come on, up you get. You can help me the best you can. We'll keep you awake, even if I have to beat you myself."
"That sounds too mean, even for you!"
"Yeah, well, I don't want to have to explain to Gibbs how you got shot!"
