Disclaimer: Disclaimer: I do not make money off this and own nothing NCIS, I am a huge fan of the show and I write this for enjoyment nothing more. I loved the reviews, no I will not make it completely sappy there will be some chapters more sappy than others but not many, and I have no intention of making Sera a complete wuss, she will not be intimidated fully by the villains.

Chapter 2: Hospital and telling Gibbs
Gibbs was on his way to the Navy Yard when his phone began to ring.
"Yeah Gibbs."
"Special Agent Gibbs, we just recieved a message from elderly man, whom stated a young girl collapsed on a street in Alexandria, and all he got out of her before she passed out was your name and NCI. They took her to the childrens hospital on Wythe St."
"On my way," he said hanging up.
He slamed the break and the car spun about face switching lanes he headed for Alexandria knowing it was Sera that they talked about. The only thing he wondered was why she collapsed and where were Conner and Carol now.
At the Hospital Sera's side
Sera Knight groaned as she opened her eyes to reveal a white room and the smell of medical alchol. She also noticed a man staring at her a man with silver hair and blue gray eyes and he look between angry and concerned.
"Uncle Jethro?"
"Hey, the doctors say that you must have been traveling a long time to suffer the exhaustion you did," he said leaning forward to hold her hand which had an i.v. in it.
Oh, it was horrible they killed them and... It was so hard to watch and know i couldn't do anything, I had to come tell you, but I couldn't risk them finding me so I walked through the forest and back roads and by the time I got to Alexandria I was to tired to go on." she cried.
"It's okay kiddo, listen my team is heading to Oakland, but first I need to know everything from that night."
She told him the story of the night tears streamed down her face and he pulled her too him and gave her comfort once she was done. She cried into his arm, she couldn't believe they were gone. She didn't even get to say goodbye to them, all she could think was that if she had been there she could have done something to save them.
"If I had just stayed in, if only I hadn't gone to that school party," she whimpered.
"If you hadn't you would also be dead, you have no reason to blame yourself, I already sent the team to conduct the investigation, it will be alright, I'm here for you no one will hurt you."
"No they will hurt you, I have to get away they will find me," she hissed through tears.
She felt his arms pull her tighter and she heard him whisper, "Let them try, I will protect you from all the demons of hell and earth, this I swear."
At the Hospital Gibb's side
Gibbs swerved into the parking lot and quickly after locking his truck ran into the hospital praying Sera was alright. He asked the receptionist where she was and she pointed him to the elevators and told him she was on the 3rd floor. While driving to the hospital he had called and sent his team to investigate the house only to recive a call from local police minutes later, they were on their way already and he had informed them of Sera. He stepped out as the elevator doors opened and walked to the nurse's station and asked a nurse.
"Excuse me, my neice was brought in earlier today I would like to see her."
"Name of the paitient?" she asked looking from him to her screen.
"Sera Knight."
"Room 223, just down there," she said pointing the way.
He made his way down and had just got to the door when it opened and a female doctor walked out, and taking a stance in front of the door she asked, "Who are you?"
"Speacial Agent Gibbs NCIS, I am also that girls uncle," he said showing her his badge.
She nodded and said, "When her parents arrive we will reveal all..."
"Her parents are dead, they were murdered almost 3 days ago."
"Well then she must have walked here, she is suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, slight starvation, and minor bruising and lacerations over her arms, legs, hands, and face."
"My god," he said running a hand over his face.
He walked in and saw her laying on the bed, she looked so small and it took everything to not go and gather her up. He chuckled at that, he remembered the first time her father had tricked him into waking the kid up, the kicked packed a punch and she had only been 3 at the time.
-Flashback-
"Jethro could you go wake Sera," said Conner with an innocent smile.
Gibbs nodded and walked up to his neice's room and smiled at the little curled up on her bed. Her blonde curls were a mess around her head and it made her look like an angel, he loved the kid alot and was honered when they named him godfather.
"Kiddo time to get up, your mom has breakfast ready," he said sitting next to her.
"No," came the snappy reply.
"Come on sweety its time to get..."
He was cut off by a little foot kicking him in the leg, he hissed at the pain not believing a little girl could kick that hard. Before he said another word another kick landed in the same spot and then another, Gibbs growled realizing he had been set up not to mention Conners laughter carrying up the stairs didn't help. He felt another kick an ddecided it was time to retreat and so he quickly back out of the room and smacked Conner on the back of the head as he passed, which caused the man to laugh harder.
-Flashback end-
He walked up to the bed and looked down at her, he was half angry for her not calling him and ending up walking the whole way, and concerned she was in danger. What if she had seen the murder? What if she was in danger? What if she was blamed? He looked down at her and sighed as her eyes began to open.
"Uncle Jethro."
