Be prepared people, the ending will keep you reading, review the last chapter and this one please
McGee couldn't help but let the tears flood from his eyes, his boss was hurt. Badly and he couldn't do anything to help him. All he had to do now was find out who done this to his boss. Tony had instructed him to stay behind and collect any visible evidence from the centre of the crater where they found Gibbs. 'Shouldn't be me doing this' He thought to himself. Ziva was the probie not Tim, he had proven himself. So what if Ziva was an ex-assassin, he didn't kill people because daddy said so. McGee let out a scream – AGHHHH! He sometimes wondered why he was still at NCIS when he was treated like a baby but, only one thing kept him there. Abby. She stayed with him when he was in trouble and they worked great together. The two geeks. He always got jittery when around her and she knew this because she would make comment about it but he never took anything further. But he would always care for her. No matter what. He made his way back to the crater with his field kit and began to mark the evidence which was visible. Once he done that he went around taking pictures of what he had marked. He then took swabs of any liquids or anything that looked suspicious. One thing he knew was there was Gibbs' blood. Fairly obvious from where it was, it gave the outline of Gibbs' body. More tears rolled down his face. Gibbs was the father figure of the team and especially to McGee since he never saw or spoke to his father a lot, maybe once a year if he were lucky but it was always him that would phone up, never his dad. Suddenly McGee stopped in his tracks, something was leaking out from somewhere under the rubble, he took a swab of it and photographed it so Abby could identify what it is, it had an acidic smell to it but didn't burn the soil. Can soil burn though? Hm… Tim had got everything he could get at the moment without disturbing the crime scene. All he had to do now was wait for the back-up team and Ducky who would remove all the bodies they got a long the way. Tim heard the coroners van before it arrived on the gravel.
"Hey Palmer"
"Hey McGee, any news?"
McGee just shook his head. Tony and Ziva had only been gone 20 minutes and he thought it would take around another 40 before he heard anything back from them. Ducky stepped out of the van to find nothing but destruction in front of him. 'My, my' He whispered to himself. Nothing could have prepared team Gibbs for this he was thinking. He then came to the conclusion that this was no accident. It was meant for someone, but who? Gibbs? Or someone else on the team. McGee went over to Ducky and explain that there's was a body in one warehouse and that Gibbs was away to A & E.
"Which Hospital?"
"I…..I don't know. Tony and Ziva just drove off and I didn't get a chance to ask"
Ducky was angry at this, his best friend was in severe damage from what Timothy told him but apart from that he wanted to ask the doctors how Jethro was doing. Now they would have to wait for Ziva or Tony to phone him to find out. Ducky went over to the body that had been blown out of the water tank and immediately knew this was going to be some case. The body had its arms missing and its right leg, where they were however he had no idea.
"Timothy?"
"Yeah Ducky?"
"Did this body have arms and legs when it…." He motioned towards the area
"Eh…..don't think so, I never really noticed but if I had to put money on it I'd say it blew up like that"
Great now the team had to find arms and legs. This was going to be a fun case now, it reminded him of the port-to-port killer. Once the back up team arrived Tim said he would follow Ducky and Palmer back to the Navy Yard. Mainly he meant go back and comfort Abby, he knew she would be in a state.
200ft away someone was watching everything. They saw the collapse, saw them take someone out of a pile of rubble and saw two of the three people leave in a car, only one man remained. What to do? Ran through their mind. Just as they were about to go closer, a van pulled up then another BMW. 'Looks like they're not going to leave' He/she said to themselves. Another time, they thought.
In the BMW Gibbs' pulse had slowed down a lot, it was hardly there and Tony was applying as much pressure as he could, that is with Zivas driving. He chose her to drive because he knew she had a lot of experience in fast off road driving, even though he now regretted it. He could feel his stomach doing summersaults.
"How long Ziva?"
"10 minutes tops."
"Hang in there boss, only 10 more minutes"
He looked so helpless, yet at peace. It was a rare scene for Tony seeing his boss this peaceful , the only other time he saw him like this was when he rescued him from the river. It was like a repeat. Little did he know Gibbs had no idea what was being said, he was pushing Kelly on a swing while Shannon prepared a meal for them. He was laughing but felt sore in the chest for some reason. He had a bruise on his chest when he looked in the mirror a couple of minutes later, when he touched it….he felt nothing. He couldn't even cry with happiness about being with his baby girl.
Ziva noticed Gibbs' head rolling around in the back of the car, she knew he wouldn't make it but she was already pushing the car to its limit doing 150mph on a 60mph road. Thank God she had her badge on her encase they got pulled over but she wouldn't stop for anyone. 10 minutes later they were still on the road and Gibbs' breathing became raspy. Tony could see that there was some damage to his lungs but they didn't know what was really going on, neither did Gibbs.
"We are here Tony."
Tony grabbed Gibbs while Ziva ran and got a doctor, they wheeled him into A & E and down so many corridors that Tony had no idea where they were headed.
"I'm sorry Sir but you cant come in"
"What? I've gotta he's my boss"
"We'll let you know after he's been in surgery to stitch him up and clean his wounds."
Tony was helpless. He had been with his boss for so long that the emptiness felt it would shroud him and never let go. Was Gibbs going to make it?
In the E.R room the doctor stripped Gibbs out of his dusty clothes and laid them to the side for the agents to collect. There was so much damage, they could visibly see his legs were broken and that his hand had been crushed. These were not the most extensive injuries, the whole in his chest was a bigger problem. Blood kept oozing out of it and the doctor tried everything to stop it, the only decision that remained was to open him up. Doctor Philip Mason was in charge of what went on and from what he heard this man was lucky to be alive. Slowly then cracked open his rib cage to expose his heart and lungs. Whatever had been in this man had clipped his right ventricle, it looked easy to fix but there was also something very wrong. He gently lifted up Gibbs' heart and saw…
Oooooh! Cliff Hanger! I know I know you all want to know what it is, but i wont tell, keep hanging on people! Review please :D
