-Hospital-
Ziva was lying on a bed in the room that the nurse had given to her; Gibbs was here sitting on the couch, he haven't said a word since their arrival to the hospital. Ziva opened her mouth to say something but the doctor came in.
"So, miss David, you'd be glad to hear that you only have a few scratches and a cut on your leg; the cut is long but not deep so it should heal soon" Ziva nodded "I'll get your discharge papers and then you can leave"
"Thank you doctor" she said, the doctor left. She turned her head to Gibbs and asked "Why are you here?"
"What do you mean?" he asked confused, moving from the couch to her bed and sitting on the edge.
"I mean, that you're here, instead of being with McGee and Tony at the crime scenes"
"Do you have a problem with that? "
"No "Ziva answered quickly "It's just that I want to know "
"Ok, I'm here because I was worried and I wanted to know if you were alright" Ziva looked a him with a tiny smile on her face.
"Why? It was nothing and you know I can take care of myself"
"Still, I didn't want you to come to the hospital alone. Now let's go we've got another crime scene" Gibbs said and stood up. He offered his arm to Ziva.
"Thanks " she took his arm and they leave the room.
-Bomb Crime Scene –
"I can't believe that Ziva is hurt because of this freaking bomb " Tony said while photographing the fragments of the explosive that McGee was collecting and putting in evidence bags.
"Tony, Gibbs called and said she's just fine " McGee reminded him.
"I know, but, it's Ziva. I mean she's not supposed to get hurt, people are supposed to get hurt by her. "
"Thank you Tony " said Ziva's voice coming from behind them.
"Ziva!!" both of them said with surprise "What are you doing here?"
"The same thing I've been doing for four years" she answered smiling.
"But you're not supposed to be here" Tony said worried "What the hell is the Bossman thinking…" he closed his eyes "He's right behind me, isn't he?"
"What do you think DiNozzo?" Gibbs answered. Tony turned around.
"That I should get back to work. And I also think that you shouldn't sneak up on people anymore, boss"
"Why? " Tony thought his answer for a second. "Forget it " he prepared to receive a headslap that didn't come. "You're not going to headslap me?" he asked confused to Gibbs, who was checking out the bomb.
"No, stop doing nothing and get back to work"
"Yeah right" Tony looked at the evidence bags and pointed at one "Ok, this piece is the central part of the bomb, you know where the powder is and all makes BOOM, but you already knew that, sorry boss"
McGee intervened "From what we can see, there isn't a detonator in there, so I think that it detonated by remote, but we should give to Abby to be sure"
"We have all the evidence from the other crime scene and Ducky left with the body" Tony added.
"Ok, pack everything up and let's go" Gibbs said.
They headed to the car and to the NCIS truck. Gibbs opened the passenger front door and let Ziva in, then he got in and left. McGee and Tony put all the evidence in the back of the truck, closed the doors and left too. When they arrived, they found Gibbs and Ziva waiting for them.
"Sorry we're late" Tony apologized. They entered in the elevator, when the doors opened Gibbs let Ziva go first. Tony stared at them.
"That's weird"
"What is? " McGee asked leaving the elevator, Tony followed him.
"That boss let Ziva ride with him and now that he let Ziva get out first, he would never do that to us"
"Maybe he's just trying to be gentle"
"Or maybe he likes her" he grinned at the idea.
"What? Tony that's crazy"
"Abby and Ducky would agree with me" he said.
"I don't think so"
"Wanna bet? 50 box that they will be on my side"
McGee stared at him a few seconds "Done" they shaked hands.
I don't know a lot of bombs so don't say anything. And I don't own any of the NCIS characters but Id be very lucky if I did.
