Ch2

Gibbs and the team were working a complicated case about an hour away when his cell rang. He didn't look at the number as he answered. "Yeah Gibbs." He pulled the phone away from his ear as he heard terrifying screaming. His heart went into his throat when he saw it was Gina calling him. He put the phone back to his ear.

"Gina. GINA ANSWER ME! WHATS WRONG?" He again heard nothing but screaming. He looked towards his team who were staring back at him. He FLEW underneath the crime scene tape. "Ziva stay here. Dinozzo. Mcgee. MOVE NOW!" They were fast on Gibbs's heels at they got in the car; Gibbs at the wheel. He started the car and FLEW. Tony looked at him.

"Boss what the HELL is going on? Whats wrong with Gina?" Gibbs wouldn't answer. He instead yelled into the phone. "Gina! Baby girl answer me!" He turned towards McGee as he once again got no answer. "McGee trace her cell and make it the fastest trace you have ever done. NOW!" McGee's hands flew on the keyboard. "Boss shes at your house."

Gibbs put the pedal to the medal as he FLEW down the highway with horns blaring at him. Tony looked at him and tried again. "Boss. WHAT has happened?" Gibbs looked at him.

"Gina is in trouble Dinozzo. I hear her screaming like crazy in the background." He froze as he heard her groan in pain. Somebody was hurting her. So God help him they were going to pay. He spoke into the phone again.

Gina! I know you cant hear me but baby girl you hold on. I'm coming. You hold on!" He almost lost control of the car as he heard a gun shot. Tony actually had to grab the wheel and Gibbs started to hyperventilate into the phone. He looked at Tony. "Somebody…just…shot her." He grabbed the wheel again and was doing about a 100 miles an hour.

They finally got to the house where Gibbs hopped the curb and they ran into the house; guns drawn. Gibb's heart went into his throat as he saw Gina laying on the couch naked all battered and bruised. He RAN over to her and covered her up. He took her into his arms as Tony called 911. Gibbs looked at Gina and kissed her forehead.

"Oh my God. Baby girl, who did this to you?" He pulled the blanket back and saw the gun shot wound and he wanted to die. He touched her face.

"You hang on baby girl. You just hang on. I'm here. I'm not going to let anything else happen to you." He looked up as he heard sirens, and the paramedics ran in. He moved out of the way so they could do their job. He stood up and Tony put his arm around him.

"Boss. I'm so sorry. Who would do something like this? Why?" Gibbs looked at him and Tony cringed on the inside. He may have seen Gibbs angry over the years, but when he saw the ANGER in his eyes, he knew the poor bastard that did this didn't have a chance. Gibbs spoke.

"When I find who did this Tony, they aren't going to have a prayer. They're dead. I don't care about my position, my badge. I don't care. They are dead." He followed the paramedics out and turned towards Tony and McGee.

"You two stay here and see what you can find. I'll call you if I hear anything, and somebody please call the Director, Abby, Ziva, and Ducky." He walked out.

AN HOUR LATER

Gibbs paced back and forth in the waiting room. He hated not knowing anything. He also couldn't help but feel this was his fault. If only they didn't get this case, he would have been home and this wouldn't have happened. He looked up as he saw the rest of his team walk in and they ran up to him Abby reaching him first. She threw his arms around him not saying anything and he hugged her back.

"Hey. She'll be ok Abbs. Shes lived with me long enough that shes learned to be tough. She'll get through this." Abby pulled away and looked at him.

"That's one of my best friends in there Gibbs. I mean I just dropped her off at home. I cant believe this is happening!" She began to cry and Gibbs kissed her forehead and then turned towards Ziva as Tony hugged Abby.

"Sorry we had to leave you at the crime scene Ziver with no explanation." Ziva looked at him red eyed. She too had been crying as Gina was also a good friend to her.

"Don't apologize Gibbs. It's a sign of weakness. I just want Gina…to make it through this." He kissed her forehead just like he did to Abby. They were both his girls. Ducky(the ME of NCIS) spoke.

"Jethro have you heard anything yet?" Gibbs shook his head.

"The waiting is killing me Duck. If only I were home…none of this would have happened." Ducky gave him a stern look.

"Don't you DARE blame yourself Jethro. Gina knows how much you love her, and she knows this wasn't your fault. She is a strong woman Jethro and she WILL pull through this."

A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER

Everyone was sitting in the waiting room tired of waiting. They wanted answers. Gibbs turned towards Tony and McGee.

"What did you two find?" McGee answered.

"She must have picked up a few tricks living with you boss. She was smart enough to dial your number and hide the phone. She knew you would know something was wrong."

"She kept screaming McGee. That's how I knew she was in trouble. That's my girl." He looked up as a Dr. finally walked through the door and Gibbs walked over him.

"Mr. Gibbs" I'm Dr. Ringer. Gina has some broken ribs, and bumps and bruises. The bullet in her stomach hit her spleen and we had to remove it. She also lost a lot of blood which we took care of with transfusions." He stopped talking and Gibbs was afraid to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

"Is she ok Doc? Is she going to make it?" The Dr. sighed.

"We had a rough moment, but we were able to get her back. However we did sedate her so she could heal properly. She will be out of it the rest of the night. Theres more, but I'm wondering if you would like to talk about this In private." Gibbs shook his head.

"Whatever else you have to say you can say in front of my team."

"We found some….sexual trauma. I'm sorry, but she was raped. We did however give her some pills to prevent STDS and pregnancy."

Gibbs didn't hear the last part as he sank into a chair. Ducky and Abby sat on either side of him. Raped? His baby girl was raped?" Now he was REALLY gonna go after the son of a bitch. He looked at the Dr.

"Can I see her?" The Dr. nodded.

"Yes. Come this way. You can stay all night, but remember she'll be out of it all night." Before Gibbs followed the Dr he turned towards his team.

"Everyone thanks for coming. Go home and get rest. If I need you I'll call you." They nodded and sadly walked out.

Gibbs walked into Ginas room and pulled a chair up to her bed. He took her hand and kissed it. It KILLED him to see her like this. Her face was all bruised, and she had tubes sticking out all over. He winced as he thought about the bruises on her stomach and her broken ribs.

He looked down and brushed the hair from her forehead. He then kissed her lips, and sat back and stared at her. He softly spoke.

"Oh Gina. Baby girl. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Oh God I'm so sorry." He turned as he heard a knock at the door and saw Director Vance standing in the doorway. He walked in.

"Gibbs I'm sorry this happened. Shes a fighter though and she'll pull through this." Gibbs nodded.

"Did you come here to see her or tell me I cant work the case Leon? Because you know I will. I don't give a crap about my badge. Fire me if you have to, but theres no way I'm NOT working this case." Leon interrupted him.

"Shut up and listen Gibbs. I do know you and I know you would want to work this case and not have it any other way, which is why I am going to let you. I know theres no stopping you and you would do it anyway. HOWEVER…..I want it done BY…THE…BOOK….one slip up…and you are off. You got it?" Gibbs nodded and Vance continued.

"Good. Now lets get the son of a bitch."
