Without Her

ILUVNCISILUVNCISILUVNCISILUVNCISILUVNCIS

Tony had never been so happy in his life to be wrong.

Abby was alive.

But she wasn't well.

Not according to the doctor that stood in front of Tony,Gibbs, and Ducky, who had just recently arrived.

The bullet had hit a major artery, which explained why Tony hadn't been able to stop the bleeding.

But Abby was alive.

And that's what mattered.

McGee would be happy. He had gone off to call Abby's parents.

The doctor droned on. Tony tuned him out until he heard the words, blood loss.

He tuned the doctor back in.

Abby had lost too much blood, and they needed to replace it.

But there was one major problem

Abby had type "O" blood.

Abby was alive.

But for how long was the question.

Ducky had refused to believe that Abby was really dead.

He had immediatley started CPR.

He had already lost one person dear to him today, and he'd be damned if he lost another.

Tony just sat there,

He was in shock.

Was Ari trying to hurt everyone?

Abby had been hurt mentally and physically.

Kate had been her best friend.

Tony had loved Kate, who had died.And now his "little sister" was about to die.

McGee loved Abby, and he was Tony's best friend.

They were all tied together by an invisable bond.

But would this break it?

"Tony." Ducky's voice brought Tony out of his thoughts.

"She's alive."

"Really?"

"Yes. But not for long. We need to get her to a hospital."

"I called for an ambulance. It should be here soon."

"Soon is not good enough, Tony. We need it now."

Tony was about to respond when he was cut off by the sound that almost made him weep with relief.

Sirens.

OK, for those of you who didn't get the whole invisable bond thing lemme explain.

Kate was Abby's best friend, and Tony's crush.

Abby was Tony's little sister (Not really), and McGee's crush.

McGee was Tony's best friend.

If that didn't help tell me and I'll try and clear it up. But i needed that part.

Thanks for the reveiew! They mean sooo much to me!

And if anyone knows a medical website could ya tell me? I don't wanna be making up stuff, but if I need to I will but I'd rather not...I'm going to look again soon.

And BTW, I'm going on a vaction for about 2 weeks, so there will be absoletly no updates then, I leave Wensday, and I might be able to get a chpater up...

Please review!
