Chapter7
The team's fearless leader was still in surgery. The more the time went on the more people's faith started to fade. Gibbs and McGee swapped with Ziva and Tony as Ziva looked like she might not be able to stand any longer.
Gibbs could only just hear the faint beep of a machine on the other side of the door in the OR, he could also hear the muffled noise of people talking through masks. McGee could tell that Gibbs was trying to hear what was going on and kept his mouth shut and stayed as still as possible.
Franks needed a cigarette and knew the nurses wouldn't let him smoke inside so went out to the front of the hospital. He lit a cigarette and took a big puff. As he was standing there he noticed a tall man with dark black hair and moustache and a tooth pick hanging out of his mouth, pull up and get out. Franks put his cigarette on the floor and squashed it with his foot. When the man walked passed Franks he gave him a glare. Franks walked back into the hospital and headed for the waiting room.
Franks had just sat back down in the seat he was in before, when the man from earlier came in and stared at the team. All of the team but Franks stood up. "Where's Gibbs and McGee?" the man asked.
"They are on protection detail with the director" Ziva said bluntly
"Uh huh, can you get them here then" the man replied just as blunt.
Franks stood up and headed for the OR.
"Probie some wack job with a tooth pick wants you and McGee in the waiting room, i'll cover for you"
Gibbs nodded and knew exactly who he was talking about whereas McGee looked a little bit confused but followed Gibbs back to the waiting room.
"You better get through this red" Franks said to himself as Gibbs and his loyal Saint Bernard disappeared around the corner.
"What do you want Leon?" Gibbs said as Vance turned to look at him.
"You and your team back in DC" he answered, the tooth pick still in his mouth.
"Sorry can't, the director's orders are that me and my team stay here"
"I am the director and my orders are you and your team get the first plain back to DC" Vance was getting angry
"Jenny is the director, you will never ever come close to filling her socks" Ziva said angrily.
"Shoes Ziva you mean he will never be able to fill her shoes" Tony said half smirking but the other half angry at Vance
"Yes that too" Ziva stated still angry.
Vance smirked but then he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head and his head jolted forward making his tooth pick fall out of his mouth. He had just been Gibbs slapped.
"I have a better idea why don't you get on the first plain back to DC" Gibbs growled into Vance's ear.
"I should fire you all"
"But you can't because you're not the director" Tony said smugly.
Vance looked around and saw the whole team were staring daggers at him so he turned on his heels and left.
"One of these day's I'm gunna tell him were to shove that tooth pick of his" Abby muttered just loud enough so Ducky who was next to her could hear, this made him smile.
Gibbs and McGee went back to protective detail and the others sat back down.
"This situation has made me think Tony" Ziva said
"Made you think what Ziivaah" Tony asked making her name longer like he often did.
"It's made me think that any of us could die any day and no one would know how you truly felt about each other"
"What are you trying to say?" Tony asked as he took Ziva's hand in his.
"You know I care about you Tony don't you? I mean you can be so obnoxious at times but other times you can be really sweet and charming"
"I care about you too Ziva, even though you don't get American idioms I find it cute"
Ziva smiled and kissed Tony softly on the lips. Lucky Abby was asleep, Franks was out smoking and Ducky was trying to get information about Jenny from the doctors.
It had now been three hours since Derek Started Jenny's surgery. Derek walked into the waiting room followed by Gibbs and McGee. They all waited eagerly for Franks to come back so Derek would tell them how the operation went.
Author notes: As you might be able to tell I don't like Vance, I would really like to tell him were to shove that tooth pick. Please Review
