Chapter 1
Gibbs woke up, feeling dizzy and nauseous, and lying on the ground. He tried to sit up a bit. Where the hell was he? He was in a small room, not much to see. A small bundle lay, lit by the light of a single bulb in the corner of the room. Gibbs examined the room, and saw a huddled figure lying next to him. Gibbs looked at the face and recognised Tim.
Gibbs tried to crawl closer to Tim, and was stopped by something that was pulling on his leg. He looked down and saw a long rusted chain fastened to his ankle.
"Tim, are you awake?"
No answer.
Gibbs lowered himself to the ground again and stretched himself until he reached Tim. He stretched out his arm and put two fingers in Tim's neck, he felt a normal heartbeat in steady thumps. Gibbs sat up again and examined the room better; he saw that the only way into the room was through a door. There were no windows or ventilation shafts. After a while Gibbs heard a groan from Tim's direction. He immediately went back to Tim's side.
"Tim?" Another groan. Tim blinked.
"Boss?" His voice cracked softly.
"Hey, 'you OK?" Tim nodded slightly, but Gibbs knew Tim had to be a bit nauseous, like he was too. Gibbs noticed just now that Tim wasn't chained to the wall.
"Wh- What happened?" Tim asked.
"What really happened? Because what I think now has to be a dream."
"We were attacked by a person in black. There was some commotion and then there was an explosion."
"Then I have that right. But the next thing can't be."
"What's the next thing?" "Seeing that person change into a bat." "Maybe there was some kind of gas in that bomb that made you think that." There had to be something in the gas that made them hallucinate, also Gibbs thought he had seen the guy suddenly disappearing.
"Are you sure you are OK, Tim?"
"Just a bit ill I guess. Nothing too bad." Gibbs chuckled.
"Liar."
"Okay, I'm dizzy and I have a headache."
They heard a sound from outside. Tim looked up from his spot on the ground and saw the door opening, and then he saw two black leather shoes. Tim held still, pretending to be unconscious. Gibbs lay back to the wall, he looked at the guy, but the man just put a bucket of water on the floor. He also put a plastic bag on the floor.
Gibbs looked at it and raised his eyebrows a bit. The unknown person didn't react to that, in fact, he ignored Gibbs totally. The guy walked to Tim, knelt down and shook his shoulder a bit.
Gibbs felt the urge to stand up, punch the guy in his face, and run away from this place. He tried to suppress the urge, but it didn't go really well. The guy put two fingers in his neck, obviously felt something and started shaking Tim's shoulder again, this time with more force. He still had the two fingers in his neck.
Tim lay still, didn't move, he tried to keep his breathing rhythmic, calm and even. He also tried not to freak out; the guy would notice a change in his heartbeat. Then the guy bent over to his ear. Gibbs watched how the guy tried to 'wake' Tim up.
Gibbs was proud to see how his young Agent kept calm. Then the guy bent over and whispered something in his ear. Then the unknown man stood up and walked away, closing the door on his way.
Tim made sure he heard footsteps walking away, and then tried to sit up. Gibbs helped Tim to sit up against the wall.
"What did this guy say?" Tim shook his head; he looked like he was going to be sick.
"Are you going to puke?"Gibbs' own nausea was almost gone. Tim shook his head again.
They were safely tucked against the wall when they heard some commotion from outside the room. There was yelling and sound of something bumping against the wall.
