DISCLAIMER: I own nothing

The following day Gibbs and Abby met with the rest of the team in McGee's hospital room.

"So whats this big news boss," Tony asked, obviously dying to know.

"well..." Gibbs started

"Me and gibbs are together," Abby blurted out before she could stop herself. The reactions of the team were all different. Tony was noticeably shocked, but seemed happy for them, Ziva congratulated them, but McGee might as well have been in the coma again for all the emotion he displayed.

"McGee," she said warily, "Are you ok?"

He nodded still not making a sound. She looked at him obviously worried about him.

"I'm fine Abby," he said, "but I'm tired so I'd be greatful iff you left" they nodded and headed for the exit. Abby took a last look back at him. He evidently wasn't ok with it and she didn't know how she could make him feel better.

All McGee could think was that Gibbs has broken the famous rule 12.

"Did you see him Gibbs," Abby Demanded when they were back in the car. She was nearly in tears about it.

He nodded. If he had to be honest with himself he had expected McGee's reaction to be like this, but he hadn't the heart to tell Abby, who was already obviously upset.

"I don't know what to do Gibbs," she sobbed.

"We don't have to do anything," Gibb's answered, "He knows now, he has time to accept it."

She smiled slightly, wiped a way a tear falling from her make-up stained face. Of course Gibbs was right. Gibbs always knew what to say in times like this.

The team worked on the team for days on end trying to work out how to find out, for definite, who had done this to McGee with no success. Gibbs got so frustrated that he frequently refused to talk to anyone for hours. When this happened the only one who could get him out of his mood was Abby, although she was starting to get annoyed about being called away from her lab so often.

McGee was out of the danger zone now and what recovering at a good pace.

Then one day two weeks after Abby and he had told the rest of the team about them, Gibbs received a phone call.

"Gear up," he said when he got the phone call, "Someone's causing trouble at the hospital."

Sure enough when they go the a familiar blonde haired girl was screaming at Sarah, who was obviously hurt. The doctors couldn't get near her on account of the gun that Amanda was holding at Sarah's head.

"Where is he!" she screamed, quite mad, "I need to show hime what he did to my family when he killed my father."

"He didn't kill you're father, Amanda," Gibbs said, cautiously getting closer.

"Stay back,"

"You don't want to do this"

"I need revenge, he tore my family apart," she sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

"I understand that," Gibbs sympathised, still approaching the woman, slowly, "But this isn't the way"

"My mother left me and my brother on out own, Do you know what it's like being abandoned like that," She was screaming at him but seemed to have forgotten the girl she was holding hostage, giving her full attention to Gibbs.

"Come on Emily," he soothed, "we both know you don't want to do this," he said carefully, taking the gun from her grasp. As soon as it was certain that he had it a rush of commotion began. Doctors began to attend to Sarah and the agents from NCIS ran to Amanda who was crying to hard to react to anything.

"What's going on said McGee, walking to the door of his room,"

Tony laughed, "You missed it McGeek, go back to sleep" and he led Amanda out with her hands behind her back.
