Hiatus
A wave of shock had overcome Holly as she saw Ziva approach Matt.
Carefully, Ziva lifted Matt's shirt and began sobbing with relief. One of Joyce's gigantic vests was loosely strapped around her chest and Ziva could clearly see the bullet embedded in it.
"Ziva," groaned Matt. "Is Holly okay?"
"Matt!" Holly said, dashing over to her friend. "We thought you were dead!"
"Holly I had the vest on since Thurmon threw the first knife," she groaned loudly.
"I didn't see you," Holly said.
"You weren't meant to, dummy," said Matt. "I put on in case they decided to shoot me so I could get to NCIS somehow."
"Well, you're alive and that's what counts," McGee said. "Although massive failure on my part; shouldn't have shot him so quickly."
"We have news of your father, Holly," Tony said. "He's awake but he's lost his memory."
"Will I see him again?" asked Holly bewildered.
"Hopefully," McGee turned around. "Where's Ziva?"
NCIS
Holly and Matt were playing a game on McGee's Elf Lord Account. There was a gasp as the Elf Lord accidently shot the girl McGee had been flirting with.
"Hey McGee," Matt said. "You know Petal?"
"You didn't?" McGee said in horror.
"Serves you right for playing those games McLoser," Tony yelled. Just then the elevator opened and Gibbs entered, looking beaten up but like himself.
"Daddy!" yelled Holly running over.
"Ah Holly, I've missed you," muttered Gibbs. "Matt! How's baseball going?" He got double thumbs up from her as she smiled at McGee who was trying to apologise to Petal over shooting her. He greeted the rest of the team before storming up to MTAC.
"Matt! I can't believe you did that!" McGee yelled.
"Take it easy on her Probie-hearts, you'll get the girl someday," Tony said. "In fact we really should be weaning you off these queer games."
"Great, Sarah just emailed me," sighed McGee opening it.
Tim how could you! Mom and Dad told me to set up that account to make sure you
were being safe online! You idiot!
Sarah.
"Looks like Petal was Little Miss McGee," winked Tony as Matt and Ziva burst out laughing.
"It's not funny Tony," McGee blushed bright red.
"Holly we're leaving," Gibbs had come down the stairs. The whole room went silent as he said goodbye to the team.
"Where are we going daddy?" Holly asked.
"To Mexico, you remember I told you about Mike Franks?" Gibbs said as he, Holly and Ducky got in the elevator.
Holly looked over the bullpen. Jenny was on the stairs while Tony, Ziva, Abby, McGee and Matt were looking at them sadly.
"Bye Holly," said Matt.
"Bye Matt," replied Holly as the doors closed.
I was never going to kill Matt. She's too young.
Next up. The Return.
