BOOM!
McGee was completely shaken as he watched the warehouse blew off. He was tapping the keyboards to find if anyone from his team survived the bomb.
He called them and asked if they were alright and where were they. He was hoping that his friends were alright but he doesn't receive any replies from them. He zoomed in a part of the screen when he saw something moving.
Tony managed to cover Ziva when the bomb went off. He turn over and laid on his back and uttered some words of pain. He asked Ziva if she was fine and she dragged him far away from the blast in response.
After they told McGee that they're alright, they all asked the same question to each other.
"Where's Gibbs?" they said in unison but in all different levels of panic and volume of voice.
The two went back to the site where the bomb went off while McGee contacted the paramedics and CSU to process the scene.
"Gibbs!" Ziva yelled.
"Boss, where are you? You can't leave me in charge yet!" Tony shouted and then he heard loud coughing and curses coming from the stack of boxes. "I found him!"
"Agent McGee, status report," the Director walked in MTAC after his conference with SecNav.
McGee was still standing in the middle of the MTAC when his Director came. He still couldn't move from his position when Tony reported that Gibbs was unconscious but still breathing when they dragged their boss out of the warehouse. He called Abby to inform that Gibbs was in Bethesda and fighting for his life. He was lost in thoughts so the Director asked the same question again. "Uh, Director – " he finally snapped back to the present time. He received a glare. "Oh, right. Dmitri Vladimir died in the blast. Ducky is now examining his burned body. Tony and Ziva are now being treated with their cuts and bruises and Gibbs is in the emergency room."
He take off his toothpick and asked, "And the weapons?"
"The FBI already took their stolen weapons and I already talked to Colonel Stevenson's daughter to tell her that her father's killer is dead."
"Good job, Agent McGee. You can now tell Abby to stop processing the evidence and go see Gibbs." He watched the young agent's eyes fill with light.
"Thank you, Sir." He smiled and turned his back to take Abby in Bethesda.
"But Agent McGee," he called his agent again.
"I want you and Abby to work tomorrow for the evidence and tell Agent DiNozzo and Agent David that they can take a leave until they are fully healed." He received a nod from his agent.
Doctor Samantha Ryan was sleeping in her bed with her son in her arms when her phone rang. She leaned to her nightstand and hesitated to answer an unknown number.
"Who's this?" She icily asked and hoped that her sleepy voice didn't take over.
"This is Ducky, Samantha." His thick Scottish accent convinced her that he really was Jethro's dear friend. She sensed that there was something wrong that is going on that's why he called in the middle of the night.
"Jethro is in trouble." She believed what she said to the good Doctor.
"Yes, my dear, he is in Bethesda right now." He was not really sure how he is going to tell her about the bombing but he knew that she will know everything when she contacts her sources. "He's still in surgery."
"Oh," she felt her heart stopped beating and felt really worried. "Thank you for informing me, Ducky." She got off the phone and carefully slid away from her son's arms. She went to Bethesda as fast as she can and called her contacts to know what happened to Jethro.
"I am Doctor Samantha Ryan from DOD's Psy Ops Division. I'm here to see Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs." She demanded.
"He got out of the operating room a few minutes ago and I'm sorry but I cannot let you in. The ICU is strictly for authorized personnel only. Visiting hours are not until eight in the morning." The head nurse stood her ground.
"I know," she glance on her name plate. "Annie, I bet all the other visitors always demand to see their … mmm… loved ones…" she fished.
"Yes, they are and as far as I know, your not his family so sit down and wait right there until Agent Gibbs' visitors are allowed," the head nurse sternly answered her back and pointed the waiting area.
She knew that the head nurse wouldn't let her in so she decided to do the plan B. She fished her phone from her coat pocket and pushed the speed dial.
"Hey, Janet, it's Sam. Did I wake you up? Uh huh…. Jethro's in Bethesda right now. Yeah, that Jethro… Yes, the head nurse wouldn't… Thanks…" She handed the phone to the head nurse. "The Secretary of Homeland Security wants to speak with you, Annie." She slyly smiled.
She watched the head nurse's face grew pale.
"You're lucky you have friends from high places." She said as she pushed the button to open the ICU. She is totally against this woman in front of her.
"Thanks, Annie!"
Abby left McGee in the car and ran towards the entrance of the hospital.
"Where's Gibbs! She yelled and all the people in the waiting room looked at her. Her pigtails bounced as she rushed towards the nurse's station. "Where's NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" She didn't wait for the nurse's reply and continued. She was also fishing her identification. "You know, Gibbs is a really tough guy. He doesn't go to the hospitals because he doesn't need them. He only needs Ducky, our M.E., to check on his cuts, bruises or gunshot wounds. You see? He's really Macho, like these." She raised her arms as if she has these huge muscles like Gibbs. "He's only been in the hospital for a few times. He's already in coma twice and I hope he survives this time. Oh hey, here's my I.D. I was dressed for court that day so I look different, but honestly that is really really me." She gave her best puppy eyes look. "So can I see him? Please… I'm he's favorite… He'll be happy to see me…"
The nurse didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the head nurse came back to the station. "Ma'am she wants to see Agent Gibbs from Room 1."
The head nurse looked at Abby. "I remember you Miss Abby." She smiled. "Let her in." The nurse obliged.
Abby hold the head nurse's hand. "Thank you so much, Annie. You're a really good person." She hugged her then swiftly went in the ICU, leaving a smiling Annie in the station.
The Doctor and the Goth both waited for Gibbs to wake up until Ryan told her to go home and sleep. The latter said that she will not leave Gibbs but when she took a nap on her chair, Ryan called McGee from Abby's phone to tell him to pick Abby up. The Goth didn't argue anymore when McGee wake her up and carried her to his Porsche.
Ryan slept on the chair and wake up early in the morning to go back to her son's side. She called Ducky and said that she left Jethro and Ducky replaced her position. He was talking to a sleeping - or snoring, rather - Jethro when the doctor came in.
"Doctor Mallard, it's nice to see you again but unfortunately we see each other on the same circumstances like the last time." Doctor Todd Gelfand emerged from the sliding glass door.
"Ah, Doctor Gelfand, good to see you too, how's Jethro's condition?" He stepped aside so the doctor could examine Jethro.
"For now, I can say that he's fine but we cannot really know for sure until he wakes up. This is his third coma and the risks are higher. He may wake up in days, weeks, months or even years. We can't calculate his awakening."
Gibbs was having a nightmare of Jenny. He saw her take the lives of her shooters but when she fell down on the wooden floor, he wanted to come to her side to do something, anything, to keep her alive or at least call the paramedics. But he can't move. He watched her die, alone, in that diner. He wanted to scream and yell at the world for punishing him. She left him again. She left him for good this time and she's not coming back. But under some circumstances, he heard her very soft voice, calling him and ordering him to wake up, which was so Jenny. She used to always wake him up when he had nightmares and she used to tell him that she's right there for him and everything will be alright.
He felt that his eyelids were very heavy so he slowly opened his eyes. Everything was a blur. The light was so bright that made him squint. The soft voice was calling him again then, he saw a cloudy figure of someone calling him. He saw her short hair and snow complexion. He reached for her face. She enveloped his hand with hers. He grinned. He was longing to do that ever since she came back to his life. "Jenny."
