Chapter 13: Miracle
A/N: Alright, here's the exciting chapter thirteen, so is thirteen going to be lucky or will another person die? I don't know so why not go ahead and read to find out….I'll also expect a review once you finish reading, enjoy!
Gibbs awoke with a start and tried to raise a hand to rub the sore spot on the back of his head, but he soon found that his hands were bound tightly behind his back and his feet were taped together. He glanced over to his left where Tony still lay unconscious and bound in the same way. He looked out ahead of him and waited for the stars to clear from his vision. His eyes shot around in the darkness, he knew his attackers were gone, but he couldn't be sure how long he was out. He spotted the picture of Abby near his feet and his heart stopped, what had happened to her? Was she alright? Had McGee reached her in time? All these thoughts whirled around Gibbs' still foggy mind and threatened to knock him out again. He calmed himself down and took deep breathes through his nose as his mouth was taped shut. A groaning noise reached Gibbs' ears and he looked over to find his senior agent coming too. Gibbs used the wall behind him to scoot closer to Tony.
Tony's head hurt like hell and his hands were aching from the lack of blood in them. Wait, why were his hands aching and why couldn't he move his feet. He felt something moving next to him and looked over and found his boss bound and gagged and then memories of only minutes ago came flooding back. Tony struggled against his restraints, he had to get free; he had to see if Abby was okay. Gibbs had inched himself back against the wall and tried to use the rough bricks behind him to his advantage. Tony and Gibbs stopped their frantic movements when the clicking of shoes was heard a few yards ahead of them. Then the voice of the Director drifted towards them.
It took Jenny a few moments to realize why the lights in the parking garage were out. The clicking of her heels died and she stopped, waited and listened to the noises around her to ascertain if she were alone or not. A slight ruffling noise caught her off guard and she jumped.
"Agent Gibbs, Agent DiNozzo?" she called into the deep darkness. A clap of thunder made her heart skip a beat. She looked to her left and right; her eyes had now become accustomed to the darkness. She heard the same ruffling noise as before, but she couldn't be sure if it was caused by the storm…or something else more sinister.
"Tony, Jethro!" she called a bit more forcefully this time…she should've brought her key-chain with, she had a small flashlight attached to it and her sig.
Jenny stopped walking and listened once more, this time she tried to hear something other than the sound of rain and wind outside the garage. There it was again, the same rustling noise as before. She approached the source of the noise with caution, not sure what was waiting for her. Her mouth dropped open once she rounded the corner and found both Gibbs and Tony bound and gagged.
"Oh my God, what is going on?" she snapped as she dropped to her knees and helped to free the agents, ignoring the look in Gibbs' face when she asked her question.
Jenny pulled the tape from Tony's mouth and he let out a wounded yelp, "Hurry, we need to see if Abby and Ducky are okay," Tony said in a rushed tone and was struggling with Jenny trying to free himself faster.
Jenny tore the tape from Gibbs' mouth and he didn't flinch, "Hurry," he muttered and stayed still until Jenny freed his hands and he pulled out a knife and cut the tape binding his feet together and cut the rest of Tony's restraints.
"What is going on? Why would Ducky and Abby be in danger?" she asked as she helped them to their feet, both were a little dizzy from the whack to the head.
"Herrera's men are after them, we don't have time to waste. Tony and Je-Director go to Ducky's make sure he and Ziva are alright, I'm going to check on McGee and Abby."
Tony wanted to argue, but he knew Gibbs was capable of handling everything, "They're going to be fine," Tony said more so for himself than anything.
Gibbs nodded and took off to the other end of the garage; he knew that like himself, Tony had a spare gun in his car. Gibbs also trusted that Tony would explain to Jenny what was going on. Gibbs wretched the door to his car open and jumped into the driver's seat he shoved his key into the ignition and started his car and whipped out of the garage and into the stormy night.
"What the hell is going on agent DiNozzo?" Jenny asked as she slid into the passenger's seat.
Tony leaned down and pulled a sig from under his seat and opened his glove box and handed Jenny another sig. "I'm not too sure what's going on, Ducky called Gibbs to warn him about Herrera's men coming soon and then the line went dead. We tried to call everyone but everyone's phone went to voicemail right away and Gibbs' landline wasn't even active. We ran out here to go check on Abby and Ducky then we got whacked over the head with a baseball bat….at least I think it was a bat."
Jenny checked to make sure her gun was loaded and looked over at the agent, "Ziva can handle anything, what about Abby, was anyone with her?"
Tony clutched the wheel tighter, he had a feeling Ziva could handle herself and Ducky with no problem, it was Abby and McGee he was more worried about, "I'm not sure, McGee's phone went straight to voicemail…I don't even know if he made it to Gibbs' place."
Jenny went ashen, "Why wouldn't he have made it?"
Tony sighed as he whipped out of the garage only a few feet behind Gibbs, "Before I completely passed out I heard the guys talking on a walkie-talkie and they said someone had gotten into an accident."
"Oh God, you think it was McGee?"
Tony sighed again and gunned his engine, "I don't know, we'll find out soon," he said and screeched around a corner.
Jenny held onto his door handle to keep from flying all over the car, "They'll be alright Tony, Ziva is one helluva fighter and so is Abby."
Tony's brows furrowed, "Yeah, but Ziva isn't injured and on crutches…even if she was I bet she could kill a man a hundred different way with them," Tony smirked slightly with his comment as he screeched around another corner nearing Ducky's house.
Jenny watched through the rain streaked window and let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding when the flashing of blue and red lights greeted she and Tony, "They're okay," Jenny breathed and got out of the car as soon as Tony stopped.
Tony looked around the officers and spotted Ziva huddled under a heavy blanket outside of an ambulance, she was soaked, Tony jogged over to her.
"Tony," she breathed and allowed him to hug her quickly, "we are alright, how is Abby?"
"I don't know, Gibbs is on his way now, how is Ducky?"
"He is unharmed and inside trying to calm his mother down, have you found McGee?"
Tony took a step back and noticed Jenny going into the house, most likely to check on Ducky, "What happened to McGee?"
"He was in an accident, the men that came to kill Ducky told me. I don't know where he is though."
Tony cursed under his breath, "Let's go, the Director can take care of things here, we have to make sure Abby is alright and try to find McGee."
"But where do you think he ended up?"
Tony jumped into his car and waited for Ziva to close her door before he tore out of Ducky's neighborhood, "I don't know he's smart so there's no telling where he led his follower."
"You think he knew someone was following him?"
Tony was growing a little annoyed with all her questions, "He's a smart kid Ziva, I'm sure he figured it out and led them away from Abby, but to where I have no idea."
Ziva nodded and prayed that Timothy would be okay.
The first thing McGee noticed was that he was soaking wet. The next was that the front end of his car was buried into the trunk of a rather large tree. He struggled to free himself from his seatbelt and groaned in pain when he tried to move his feet. The next thing he became aware of were hands, hands were trying to pull him from his car and then the voices, they started out as dull throbs in his ears but soon he could hear many voices all shouting at one another giving and receiving directions.
"What happened?" he asked, not knowing he asked it out loud he was surprised to get an answer.
"You were in an accident sir, just hold on, we have to free your legs," a male voice said to his left.
McGee tilted his head in the direction of the voice, he had trouble keeping his eyes open against the rain, "Accident?" he questioned again, his mind was still foggy from when his head struck the windshield.
"It seems someone ran you off the road," the paramedic said and stepped to the side to allow a fireman in to try and get McGee's legs free.
"Oh God, Abby," McGee suddenly remembered what had happened and started to struggle to get free of his car.
"Sir, you need to remain still," the paramedic said to him in a stern voice and clamped his hands onto McGee's shoulders.
"I need to make sure Abby is okay," McGee shot at him and tried to wriggle out from under his crushed dashboard.
"Sir calm down, was she in the car with you?"
"No, she's at our boss' house, I was on my way to make sure she was okay," McGee let out in a breath and stopped his squirming and let the fireman cut into the side of his car.
"You have more to worry about right now sir, we're taking you to Bethesda," another paramedic said as he wheeled over a stretcher.
"You don't know my boss," McGee muttered and had no choice but the let them all do what they could to free him.
"Did you try his cell again?" Ziva asked as she and Tony skidded around a corner.
Tony's fingernails dug into the leather of his steering wheel as he kept from making a biting remark to Ziva as she asked a third time, "I already told you his phone is dead or off; all I get is his voicemail."
Ziva nodded curtly and sat up straighter in her seat as they came onto Gibbs' street. Tony let out a sigh when he noticed Gibbs had come home already, but an explosion of light from the living room window had he and Ziva both gasping, "Stop Tony," she shouted and didn't wait for the car to be fully stopped before she jumped out and made for the front door.
"Damn fool woman," Tony cursed as he slammed his car into park and followed her.
……………………………………………..
The stair next to Abby's head exploded as her attacker missed her once again, but then a stinging sensation followed by cool liquid on her cheek made her jerk into action once more.
"Damn," the man cursed and aimed his gun at her once more.
Abby was at a loss for what she could do to get away from him and the other two, she started scrambling up the stairs again, though she wasn't sure how much help that would be to her. The man noticed and was about to squeeze his trigger once more, but the slamming of the front door and sudden clap of thunder made him jump and Abby gasped.
"Lower your weapon," Gibbs shouted as he advanced on the man.
The man smiled, "Ah, agent Gibbs, it seems you are outnumbered, so maybe you should listen to me."
"I don't think so," he said through clenched teeth, he glanced at Abby quickly to make sure she was alright. All Gibbs could see in the sudden flash of light was a cut on her cheek flowing with blood.
The man turned back to Abby, obviously he had no idea what Leroy Jethro Gibbs was capable of, "Now you die dark angel," he smiled and pulled the trigger again and simultaneous gunshots pounded in Abby's ears.
Abby squeezed her eyes shut and faintly heard voices beyond the ringing in her ears.
"Abby, Abby," a familiar voice yelled at her.
She was afraid to open her eyes, afraid of what she might see, she had heard three gun shots and she had only known two men with guns, "Gibbs?" she asked and lifted her hands from their death grip on the step that her hip rested on.
"He's here, Abby why don't you open your eyes?" the voice asked, Abby recognized it now and obeyed, "hey beautiful, get yourself into another mess?"
Abby grinned and pushed herself from the stairs and into Tony's arms, she looked over her shoulder to where Ziva was busy cuffing the two other men, she then searched for Gibbs, "Tony, where is Gibbs?" she asked pushing away from him.
"He's outside," he answered and helped her from the stairs, Abby noticed her attacker was nowhere to be seen either.
Abby gave him a quizzical look as she hobbled over to retrieve her fallen crutches; that's when she noticed the red and blue lights outside the window. "Tony, did I pass out?" she could've sworn she only shut her eyes for a second.
"You were out for a few minutes, I was just coming in to check on you when I noticed you starting to wake up, helluva time to take a nap Abbs," he joked lightly while helping her outside.
The storm had let up and now a light drizzle coated the night. Tony helped her to an open ambulance to get her cheek stitched up. Abby looked around for Gibbs and finally, much to her relief, found him getting a patchwork job himself.
"What happened to Gibbs?" she asked and nodded in his direction just as he looked up and saw her, he started to break away from the paramedic so he could check on her.
Tony looked over his shoulder then back to Abby, "He got clipped by a bullet, nothing serious, just a gash on his arm."
Abby's eyes widened, "Just a gash Tony? He could've been killed," she said and winced when the paramedic applies an antiseptic to her cheek.
"Abby, Abby, you okay?" Gibbs asked as he shoved past Tony.
Abby smiled, and then frowned as the stinging in her cheek worsened, "Just a scratch, nothing too serious," she smiled then sucked in a breath when the paramedic applied butterfly bandages to her cheek.
Once the paramedic and Tony stepped away Gibbs gathered Abby into his arms and hugged her tightly to him, "I had quite the scare tonight," he whispered into her ear, his lips touching it faintly.
Abby tightened her arms around him and turned her head into the crook of his neck, "Is everything over?"
Gibbs sighed and stepped back so that he could look her in the face, "I honestly don't know, but I'm going to keep you safe," he leaned in and kissed her forehead.
Abby smiled at the familiar action, "I know you will Gibbs, you always do."
Gibbs rested his forehead against hers and let out a sigh, "I love you Abbs," he whispered, the words caressing her face.
Abby smiled and snuggled deeper into him, "I love you agent Gibbs," she murmured into his chest and shuddered as he let herself relax.
Someone clearing their throat caught Abby and Gibbs' attention. "What?" he grumbled as he and Abby turned to Ziva, who look awkward as she stood before them.
"I just received a call from Bethesda, it seems McGee was in a car accident, he is okay, but they are keeping him over night for observations."
"How is Ducky?" she asked suddenly anxious.
"Ducky is okay too, he is with Director Shepard."
"Can we go see McGee?" she asked hopefully.
Gibbs let out a sigh, "We'll visit him tomorrow, it's late right now and I'm sure he's resting, which is what we should all be doing," with his last few words he looked directly and menacingly at Tony and Ziva.
"I'll finish up the paperwork tomorrow morning," Tony said and stepped forward to give Abby a huge hug, "I'm glad you're okay," he whispered to her.
Abby smiled as she returned the hug, "I love you Tone."
Gibbs snaked and arm around her waist and pulled her back to him, at this point he didn't care about the PDA, he had come within an inch of losing her tonight and he wanted to keep her close, to keep her safe.
Ziva smiled and nodded to them, "I will see you tomorrow, yes? I'm glad you are okay Abby."
Abby smiled at the assassin and was touched by her words, "Thank you Ziva, not just for my life but Ducky's as well," she opened her arms and gave Ziva a tight hug.
"Come on, let's get inside and get some rest. You've had quite the night," Gibbs said as he tugged Abby along towards his house, the ambulances and police cars started to leave as they walked towards the front door.
