Okay, hi readers! It actually rained today! Like, allot. So I just settled down and watched tv with my dad, and of course we watched NCIS! I had this great idea for this one episode, and decided my favorite character needed a fluff chapter. I DON'T OWN NCIS OR IT'S AWESOME PEOPLE, only the OC I put in here. So, enjoy and stuff.
The sniper ran from the building and Gibbs had been right. It was the water guy. Tony DiNozzo got out of the car and sprinted after the shooter. The guy took off towards and alley where Tony suspected he had his truck.
Hopefully the FBI agents were doing their jobs and were actually ready for him there. He turned into the alley and Tony followed. "STOP! NCIS!" Tony yelled at him. The FBI were ready, all the way on the other side of the alley.
Tony ran after the shooter while the FBI came at him from the other alley mouth. The man stopped in the middle of us and turned to look at me. "Put the gun down and put your hands behind your head!" Tony called as he leveled his gun at the shooters chest.
The gleam in the shooters eyes was wicked as he pointed the gun at the two FBI agents standing twenty feet away. "NO!" Tony yelled, jumping forward and pulling the trigger of his gun.
It all happened in one split second. The two agents dove to the ground, Tony shot the man, and the man turned his gun on Tony at the last minute and fired. Leroy Jethro Gibbs could only watched as he skidded around the corner of the truck to see someone he though of as a son fall to the cement.
"DINOZZO!" Gibbs screamed sprinting to the fallen mans side and dropping to his knees on the hard stone. Ignoring the blood seeping into the knees of his pants he gently rolled Tony DiNozzo over and placed a hand firmly over the gunshot wound.
Kate ran up them and crouched beside Gibbs. "I called 911. Is he going to make it?" she asked cradling Tony's head gently. Gibbs looked up at Kate with his usually so sharp grey eyes now filled with tears. "He damn well better be! I did not give him leave of absence, nor will I anytime soon."
Kate could here the bitter grief in her boss's voice and her heart ached. He knew Tony much better than her; she had no idea how deep their friendship went. To see him now, kneeling over his dying friend, it was her heart was being constricted by something.
Sirens sounded in the distance, getting louder. Kate brushed away a tear as she asked, "Does he have any family? That you know of anyway?" Gibbs nodded as he tried to stop the bleeding.
"A little sister. She's in Elementary school, he's raised her since she was seven months old because her mother died of cancer and he father was never in the picture." He said, bowing his head as the ambulance came into sight.
"Tony is all that little girl has. Oh God." Kate whispered in anguish. The next few hours passed in a blur as the paramedics took over. Tony was taken to the hospital and put into critical surgery immediately and Kate called Ducky and Abby.
Gibbs was sitting in a plastic waiting room chair when his phone rang. He looked at the familiar number on his screen. It was Cassie's Day Care, calling because Tony was late to pick her up to go home. Tears spilled down his cheeks as he pressed answer.
"Hello?" he gasped. "Hello Mr. Gibbs, is Tony around? It's seven o'clock, and he still isn't here to pick up Cassie. Is everything alright?" Mrs. Pampa said in her light tone.
Gibbs's heart felt like it was being crushed by a 5 ton weight.
"I'm s-so sorry." Was all Gibbs could say before he finally broke down. He remember meeting Tony's sweet little sister for the first time very well right then. He had taken her to work with him because the Day Care was closed for the day, and she had hugged him the minute she saw him.
Leeroy Jethro Gibbs had just started drinking his coffee when the elevator doors opened. It's about time DiNozzo showed up for work. Gibbs thought as they closed again. Huh, that's odd. Gibbs stood up and walked around his desk and through the bullpen.
There in front of the elevator stood a four year old girl in camouflage pants, green shirt, brown hat, camouflage backpack, and small combat boots. It was a rather adorable sight, but Gibbs needed to find out who she was. She seemed familiar somehow.
The little girl looked up at him and her face lit up in recognition. She dropped her backpack and squealed in delight as she ran across the five foot gap the separated her and Gibbs. She threw her arms around his waist and clasped her ands together behind his back.
"You're Tony's bossy!" she cried happily, hugging his waist tighter. He had been surprised at first, but a smile was soon visible on his face. "That I am. And who might you be?" he said, crouching at her level.
"Cassie? Are you in here? Cassie?" Tony DiNozzo's voice cam from around the corner as he did. The second he saw the dark haired girl his face lit up in relief. "She ran to the elevator and pushed the up button before I could get there. Sorry." He said, smiling apologetically.
"That's fine DiNozzo, but what if she had been a suspect and you had let her get away? You can practice with everyday things. Next time, make sure you keep her close to you. Who is she anyway?" Gibbs said, straitening up.
"I'm his lil sisser! Cassie!" the fair skinned girl chimed as she threw herself at her brother. Gibbs's smile turned into a grin at the girls antics. "That's wonderful, but why are you here at his job huh?" Gibbs asked the girl and her brother.
"Her Day Care is closed today, and no one else could take her for the day. Sorry boss. I had no choice but to take her with me. It was either that or not come to work today." Tony said, hugging his little sister.
"Buh Tony! You pomissed me you wood take me to your job to meeh your bossy!" the girl said with fire in her light blue-green eyes. Gibbs's grin was about split his face in half as the siblings talked.
Well, Cassie told him off for lying to her while Tony apologized and 'hey-ed'. "Well Cassie, I'm sure your first time to NCIS headquarters is very special to you, would you like a tour?" Gibbs said to the little girl as she turned away from her brother and crossed her arms.
"Ooh! Yes peese! Fun, fun, fun!" the excited girl bounced up and down in front of the elevator that had closed in her brothers face minutes ago. Tony straitened up and grabbed the backpack on the floor.
"Hello? Mr. Gibbs?" Mrs. Pampa said through the phone that now lay on Gibbs's lap as he cried, remembering. It had been four years since that day, and Tony had brought her in after that, but before Kate started working for them, he had found her a babysitter for the days when the Day Care would be closed.
She was such and innocent beautiful little girl who loved her brother more than anything in the whole world. She had also found a special place in Gibbs's heart. When she was six, Tony had made Gibbs's her God Father.
Kate walked into the waiting room to see Gibbs's sobbing into his hands. "Gibbs, oh Gibb's, don't give up. There's still a chance that he'll be okay!" Kate said in a sad voice. She sat down beside him and noticed the phone in his lap.
"I'm Cassie's God Father, a-and she loves me and I want nothing more than to become her dad, but she loves T-Tony so, so much. What am I supposed to tell her? S-she may loose the one thing she always had." Gibbs sobbed.
Kate looked down at her hands and sniffed. "There's always hope." She said, looking over at Gibbs. His shoulders shook, but he was starting to calm down. He truly did think of Tony as his son.
He wiped away the tears on his face with his handkerchief and picked up the phone again. "Mrs. Pampa? Are you still there?" Gibbs asked into the phone. His voice was still a little shaky, but he wasn't a mess anymore.
"Yes I'm here, what happened, I heard crying, is everyone okay?" her voice was laced with worry. "I'm coming to pick up Cassie right now. I'll see you in ten minutes." Gibbs said before he hung up the phone and stood up.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Kate asked him gently. "No, you need to stay here so you can keep in touch with the doctors and how the surgery is going." Gibbs said, turning around to face her.
She nodded and he walked out of the waiting room, down the hall and out the front door. He got into the NCIS SUV and put the key into the ignition. What was he going to tell Cassie?
Okay! That is a pretty short chapter, but I want to work on a different story I've been working on. I actually started a story the day I first saw NCIS, but it's still in progress. Plus, this one was so much fun to write, and I needed to write it before the episode details slipped my mind. I hope you enjoyed reading. Please review!
