Alternate Aliyah Chapter 4: Somalia

What if Gibbs chose Ziva over Tony in Isreal? Where would their lives be? Who's side would Mcgee and Abby chose? And, most importantly, would there be there be a happy ending? T for infrequent swearing and violent fight scenes. Spoilers for Aliyah and Semper Fidelis.

If you love Ziva do not read this; the story takes Tony's side so there is a lot of Ziva bashing, Also Gibbs is a bit OOC in this story, so there is a bit of Gibbs bashing to...

A/N This story goes slightly AU from now on; not enough to be an AU story but enough to be noted.

''I'll go with David'' said Polemen. ''I'll have to too'' said Cassie, who helped Ziva up, while Polemen trained his gun on David. ''Take care of Tony'' said Cassie, as Mcgee helped stretcher Tony on. Mcgee got onboard to.

The Ambulance Personal started to protest as Cassie and Polemen got on. ''She's a trained assassin who could kill you with ease, even when wounded'' said Cassie.

''Fine'' said the Personal, and although clearly annoyed, allowed the three on board.

Location: Bethesda Room 302 3 months Later

''It had been 3 months since Tony had been shot by Ziva, and things weren't good. Cassie and Polemen could barely keep their minds on their work; they were beside themselves with worry about Tony. Mcgee and Abby were around Tony's beside every day (Mcgee during the day, Abby at night) and Mcgee was starting to worry if Abby would dehydrate from all the crying she was doing. Even Gibbs was affected. He had taken all 7 months of he saved leave and taken off, to Mexico, 4 months ago. No one had been able to make contact with him again. Ziva was charged with Grievous Bodily Harm on a Federal Agent, attempted murder of a federal agent (Mcgee, she took a shot at his head) and resisting arrest. She would serve 35 years in Prison. It was supposed to be 75 years, but the Eli David, now Director of Mossad, somehow managed to get her a reduced sentence *.

And as for Tony, things weren't so good. He was in a Coma; the damage caused by the bullet entering his hip had caused internal bleeding. All that however, was about to change...

It was 23:19 at night, when the monitors started to bleep. It was so sudden that it woke Abby up.

''AR-HUH'' shouted Tony breathlessly. All the monitors started 'Beeping' very loudly

''Stop, Tony, it's okay, look you're going to be all right'' said Abby soothingly, as the Doctors and Nurses rushed in.

Tony reached for Abby's hand, and as she clasped her hand into his, he became instantly calmer. His breathing slowly went down as did his pulse.

''Ab-bey'' croaked Tony. ''Ssh'' you going to be just fine'' comforted Abby, as the doctor injected him with a secondary IV.

''Ssh Tony, it'll be okay'' she repeated, as Tony winced. And with that he fell asleep

''You certainly have a hold on him'' observed a Doctor.

''He's like a brother to me'' replied Tony. ''So you are close?'' asked the Doctor.

''Yes why?'' asked Abby.

''No reason'' said the Doctor simply, and left.

Abby got out her phone, and decided to call Mcgee; he'd want to know... thought Abby.

Timothy Mcgee speaking.

Tim, it's me Abby.

Abby are you okay; what's wrong.

Nothing, everything's fine; brilliant actually, I just want to let you know that Tony work up briefly.

How long?

About 4 minutes. He woke up, he talked a few times, and I managed to calm him down.

Is everything alright now.

Yeah.

KK, see ya later.

Bye

And, despite of his tiredness, Mcgee smiled as he slept. I've been anchoring for a case for weeks, but now, I hope we don't have one for a while longer... thought Mcgee.

Sadly, it was not to be...

''Agent Mcgee, you're in charge of this team until we know what Agent DiNozzo's condition will be when he wakes up'' ordered Director Vance.

''We might know very soon sir, he woke up for 4 minutes last night'' said Mcgee.

''Okay, but for now-''

''I understand Director'' said Mcgee ''Do we have a case?''.

''We have a new lead on Salem's Team'' replied Director Vance. He paused, and looked at Polemen and Cassie, ''This op is no longer top secret, we need these men' bomb, it may be Nuclear, or a Hydrogen Bomb, I shall email you the Intel later today'' he ordered.

''Do we have a location?'' asked Mcgee.

''Somalia, you can leave when you're ready'' ordered Vance.

''Is everyone okay if we leave in 72 hours?'' asked Mcgee.

''Sure'' said Cassie.

''I'm cool with that'' replied Polemen.

''Okay, we leave in 72 hours, tomorrow we can meet back here and plan our extraction of the bomb'' Mcgee ordered.

Mcgee and Polemen Nodded and left. I hope tony wakes up before I leave Mcgee thought.

Location: Bethesda, Room 302

''Hey Abby'' greeted Mcgee, as he entered room 302, with a Caf-Pow in hand.

''Thanks Tim'' said Abby, as she took the Caffeine drink.

''How is he?'' asked Mcgee.

''No change'' replied Abby glumly.

''I have to go to Somalia tomorrow'' said Mcgee, equally as glum.

''Why?'' asked Abby.

''Bloody Terrorists'' replied Mcgee, annoyed.

''Well, to be honest, I don't think he'll be waking up any time soon'' said Abby.

''Why?'' asked Mcgee.

''He's slipping back into a coma'' answered Abby sadly.

BEEP! BEEP! 'bleeped' the machines

''I thought you said he was slipping into a coma?'' asked Mcgee quickly.

''He was'' said Abby, confused, as 3 doctor's ran in.

''Huh Huh Huh Huh'' said Tony, slowly and breathlessly.

''It's okay, just breathe'' ordered a Doctor softly, putting a mask over his face. Tony fell back to sleep, however, out of the coma...

(I hardly know anything about Medicine Stuff so I'll just skip it)

''He should stay awake now'' said a Doctor to Abby.

''Do you know why he's suddenly awake?'' asked Abby.

''We don't why; Coma victim's can sometimes wake abruptly; there is usually a reason but there may not be this time'' answered the doctor.

As the doctor left, Mcgee turned to Abby. ''I have to go now, prepare weapons and Intel for Somalia'' stated Mcgee sadly .''I understand; and so will Tony'' said Abby. Mcgee nodded, and they turned, Abby to Tony's room, Mcgee to his home...

Location: Plane to Somalia

''Something on your mind Mcgee?'' asked Cassie. Mcgee had been silent for the whole journey so far, and it was starting to unnerve her.

''I just can't believe she did it'' replied Mcgee. ''What, shoot Tony? Asked Cassie ''Yeah'' answered Mcgee. Cassie sighed. ''She was clearly mentally unstable, and put that with her cold hatred of Tony, eventually something would snap'' said Cassie sadly. ''I just didn't think it-'' ''Would snap so much'' Cassie cut of Mcgee. He nodded ''Me too'' agreed Cassie glumly. ''It's okay now Mcgee, she's in prision, and by the time she'll get out, she'll be too old to hurt anyone'' said Cassie. ''I wish I could believe you Cassie, but, but I just get the feeling she'll escape and, and hurt my family again'' sobbed Mcgee ''Oh Mcgee'' said Cassie ''It doesn't matter, I need to get our plans ready'' said Mcgee, who, rubbing off his tears, walked to the front of the Plane.

''That man needs help'' said Polemen sadly. ''I know'' said Cassie glumly. ''So, I never asked, why did you join the Special Ops team'' asked Polemen. ''I wanted a transfer'' said Cassie simply..

''Do-'' ''I'd like to be on my own for a while?'' asked Cassie politely. ''Okay'' said Polemen, and went to join Mcgee.

Location: Gitmo

Ziva David was in a white van, being transported to a local hospital for a scheduled doctor's appointment for her leg. Then, an explosion ripped through the front of the unmarked van, sending it down. Damn thought the Guard We're in the middle of nowhere, and, where's the - All his thoughts stopped as he was shot in the head, and he fell to the floor. What the hell is thought Ziva, until she saw her father, and two mossad kidon. ''Go Ziva'' ordered Eli David.

''This never happened'' continued Eli, and him and his two kidon vanished from the van, probably to disappear and reappear in Tel Aviv.

And as Ziva left the van, running to the nearby river, she smiled. I'm free...

Location: Plane to Somalia

''What!'' shouted Mcgee down the phone, waking up the others

Agent Mcgee calm down.

Sorry Director it's just-

I understand, I assume you want to remain in the loop during our search for her.

Yes, Director

Director Vance hung up ''What's wrong Tim?'' asked Polemen.

''Ziva escaped custody yesterday'' said Mcgee angrily.

''What happened'' said Cassie, now angry too.

''She had someone on the outside helping her; they blew up the front of the van transporting her to a hospital for an appointment'' said Mcgee ''She got away before we knew what had happened'' continued Mcgee angrily.

''It doesn't matter yet'' said Mcgee. ''All that matters is that we obtain that bomb, disarm it, and get it to Vance. ''Let's get ready'' agreed Cassie.

Location: Somalia

That plan was set. Polemen, who was a brilliant sniper, would take out the sentries. Mcgee and Cassie would go in and demand the bomb, and Polemen could keep an eye on them and kill those who they didn't notice.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Polemen took out the sentries.

Cassie and Mcgee ran in, and instantly were met with gun fire. They took cover behind some boxes, gunfire all around them. BANG! Mcgee took out someone attempting to flank them.

Meanwhile, Polemen ran to get a better position, and opened fire with his sniper rifle.

''Polemen!'' said Mcgee happily. They broke cover, and killed everyone, except five who surrendered, in the room.

As Mcgee went to disarm the bomb, an explosion ripped through the terrorist base, sending them all down. One of the terrorists got fired on by Mcgee, hitting him in the leg. Mcgee dived to the ground, taking one of the terrorists out with his pistol. Cassie dived the other way, taking out two others as she went. The 2 remaining terrorists open fire on her, narrowly missing her. Mcgee dived over his cover of boxes, knifing one in the throat.

As the other fired on Mcgee, Polemen fired on him, killing him. ''Mcgee!'' shouted Cassie, holstering her sig and running to him. 'I have two wounds to my left leg'' said Mcgee loudly, clearly in pain. ''Polemen'' radioed Cassie. ''Yes Yates'' radioed Polemen back. ''Mcgee is wounded, we need to get to the plane, can you radio one?'' asked Cassie, although it wasn't really a question.

BANG! Mcgee and Cassie heard a bang, although it was louder in the radio.

''Polemen'' whispered Mcgee quietly. He needs medical Help... thought Cassie Desperately.

''Sorry, Polemen is unable to take this call today, can I take a message'' said a terrorist through the radio. ''You killed him'' whispered Cassie. ''Yep, and now this whole town will die'' said the terrorist, through the radio. ''What, Oh no'' said Cassie, who knew what was happening. The terrorist threw the knife at the bomb, which would explode. Cassie threw herself at the knife, and as she saw the terrorist threw the window, took a shot at him, killing him. The knife entered her right arm, but didn't go through. She pulled it out, and ran to Mcgee. He was unconscious. She dragged him and the bomb, to the car, and drove to the ron-day-vu point. The American Forces who were there immediately ran to their aid. ''What happened'' demanded one of the Americans.

''The terrorists put up a good fight, killed Polemen, shot Mcgee''.'' One threw a knife at me in desperation'' she said. ''It nearly hit the bomb, which I haven't been able to disable yet'' she continued tiredly. 'We'll take care of it'' said a Commander. Then Cassie passed out from exhaustion. ''Let's get them to Bethesda!'' he shouted. ''Bethesda?'' asked a Soldier. ''They are both stable so let's go!'' he shouted...
