Okay, I know the last few chapter have been all depressing, but this chapter will be much less depressing. Yay! Okay, I'm gonna shut up so you can continue to read the story.
Didn't own NCIS a half hour ago. Don't own it now. I'm 99.9 percent sure I never will.
Tony hated to tell someone that Gibbs was dead. Because every time he said it, he realized it was true. He closed his eyes and nodded off.
When he woke up, he saw Juan pointing a gun at his head.
"Any last words, Anthony?"
Tony thought of what Gibbs would say. Gibbs's death was so fast he didn't get a chance to say anything. Tony would make up for that.
"Semper Fi."
Two shots rang out.
"I didn't want to, and I'm sorry." Jake finished.
McGee nodded and placed his hand on Jake's shoulder. "Where did you hide Gibbs's body?" he asked, his voice cracking.
"We drove for about four hours. I know we went over the border to Pennsylvania. Then we hid him under some bushes by an old, run-down convenience store." Jake said sadly. "I'm sorry. I tried to call the cops, but Eli stopped me."
Ziva ran her hand through Jake's hair. "Everything is going to be okay, Squash."
"Pumpkin." McGee corrected.
"Am I going to juvy?" Jake asked quietly.
"No, but Eli is."
Tony watched as Juan crumpled to the ground. Dead, from two bullet wounds to the back. Diego swirled around with his gun pointed at someone Tony couldn't see. Another shot rang out and this one clipped Diego's shoulder. Diego dropped his gun and made a run for it. Tony could only think of one person who that could be.
"Ziva! Ziva, I'm in here!" he called.
Who he saw come in through the door surprised him.
"Gibbs?"
Gibbs didn't say anything. It was clear he was in a lot of pain. One of his shoulders was bent at a very odd angle and one of his legs had a deep gash in it. It was a wonder he could even walk on it. Tony took notice that he was also bleeding from the head very badly.
"Come on, Boss, let's get you to the hospital." Tony said. But what worried him was that Gibbs didn't argue.
Ziva, McGee, Ducky, and Jimmy drove silently to Pennsylvania, only interrupted by Ziva's phone ringing.
"You all need to get to Bethesda! Now!" Tony screamed, and then hung up.
"We had to completely reconstruct his shoulder." Dr. Dan explained.
Tony nodded. They also had to put seventy two stitches in his leg, and only God knew how many in his head. But Gibbs was going to be okay.
"Sir, are you sure you're okay? You look a little beat up too." Dr. Dan asked, pulling Tony out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, I was kidnapped this morning." Tony said. "Or was it last night?"
Dr. Dan just looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face. These DiNozzo and Gibbs characters were the strangest people he had ever met. They both claimed to be federal agents for an agency he'd never heard of. NCSI?
"Can I go in?" Tony asked.
Dr. Dan nodded. "He is under heavy sedation."
Tony walked into the hospital room to find Gibbs asleep on the hospital bed. His arm was in a sling to prevent him from damaging his shoulder further, and both his leg and head were wrapped tightly to prevent bleeding.
Tony silently took a seat next to Gibbs's bed. He was thankful his boss was alive. Slowly, Tony drifted off to sleep.
"His name is Anthony DiNozzo." Abby explained for the third time.
The nurse tolled her eyes and crossed her arms. This girl was really getting on her nerves.
"Ma'am, there is no one here under that name." the nurse replied through gritted teeth.
"But he was sick this morning!" Abby exclaimed. "He called and told us to come here!"
The nurse smirked. "I'm sorry I was not able to help you." she said, turning on her heel. "Perhaps somebody else can." she called over her shoulder as she walked away.
"Rude much?" McGee muttered to Ziva.
Ziva nodded. "Gibbs would have shot her by now."
The nurse was back in a flash.
"Gibbs?" she asked. "We had a patient come in with that surname."
"The Gibbs we're talking about is dead." Jimmy said rather rudely.
"An Italian man brought him in." the nurse insisted.
"Did he have brown hair and hazel-green eyes?" Abby asked, obviously getting excited.
"Yes!" the nurse beamed. "That's him!"
"That would be Anthony." Ducky confirmed.
But that wasn't the only thing that was confirmed.
Gibbs was alive.
Yay! See, much less depressing! I actually knew Gibbs wasn't gonna die the whole time! I'm actually kinda convinced that he's immortal. Seriously, he was in a room where a bomb went off and he lived! He's immortal! Sorry if I'm creeping you out...I'm just gonna shut up and go type chapter 8...
