Gibbs jerk awake as someone throws a cold water on his face. He was gasping for air and started coughing. He tried to clear his vision and wipe his face with his hands. But he couldn't he was tied to the beam!
'No.. that was dream or my hallucinations. God.. I'm still stuck in here. Where is Jack? No... no.. no. What the hell is happening. Team got her. Wynn was dead. Team found me too. Wayne... geez he took bullet for me. Where in the hell he's?'
Gibbs was trying to figure it out what happened was real or his hallucinations. Because he was still in that warehouse.
He looked around. And his eyes wide open in fear. He saw that Crawford had got Sloane. She was badly beaten and Victor was holding her by her elbows. Gibbs didn't believe what he was watching. He tried to free himself from ropes.
Wynn grabbed Sloane and dragged her toward Gibbs until she was standing face to face with Gibbs. Gibbs can see pain and fear in her eyes. Gibbs started fighting against his restraints.
"Look Gibbs. Look What have you done?" Wynn said with smile and started circling around Gibbs suspended form. Then he snapped at Victor. Victor grabbed Sloane by her hair and forced her to look into Gibbs's eyes.
"You were thinking he would never let anything happen to you. Never let you down. And always protects you. But look at him. He don't deserves you. Just look at him how pathetic he is." Crawford taunts Gibbs and Sloane. He grabbed Gibbs chin and forced him to look at her. He couldn't stop his tears. He look at her and saw tears floating like a river from her eyes.
"I AM SORRY, JACK. I AM SORRY." Gibbs whispered to her.
"What! What did you just say? I can't believe on my ears.. The Great Leroy Jethro Gibbs just apologized. C'mon Gibbs, it's not gonna work. It's time to BEG for her LIFE." Crawford yelled in to his ear. He gives a nodd to Victor. Who was ready and cracking his knuckles.
He started beating Sloane. Kicked her in stomach few times and grabbed her hair and made her stand. And then slammed her face on the wall and pressed it hard and started punching her in her side.
Gibbs was yelling at Victor. "Stop you bastard. Stop.. I said STOP." That just earned him a good punch on his face and got another one in abdomen. Crawford grabbed his collar roughly and whispered in his ear.
"She's going to pay for what you did, Gibbs. And she's going to pay it with her life. And only you can do is watch. Watch her die.. and her blood will be on your hands. Now be a good boy and she might get few more seconds for her life." Crawford released his collar and patted Gibbs on his face.
"Don't do this, Wynn. Please don't do this. She did nothing. She's just.."
"A what? Your partner? Cut the crap Gibbs, we both know it's a lie. You love her and this is the best part that you will watch her die slowly in front of your eyes. So now enjoy the show. "
Gibbs heard Sloane was crying in pain that bastard was not even give her a chance to take a breath. She was looking at him with hope. But he was not able to save her.
"NOO... IT'S ME YOU WANT, WYNN. I AM THE ONE WHO DESTROYED YOUR BUSINESS AND EVERYTHING SO PLEASE TAKE ME AND LEAVE HER ALONE. IF YOU WANT TO KILL SOMEONE KILL ME WYNN. I BEG YOU PLEASE LET HER GO. PLEASE LET HER GO... PLEASE." Gibbs was begging for Sloane's life. He was crying. He was not even looking at Sloane or Wynn. He bow his head and keep pleading.
Crawford waved his hand and signs Victor to stop. He stops immediately. Crawford walks slowly toward Gibbs and lifted his face with the barrel of his gun. And started laughing. He undo his restraints and Gibbs falls on his knees and hands. Still not looking up.
"Fine... Victor get her here right next to him." Gibbs tried to stop him but he whacked him in his face with gun. Victor dragged Sloane next to Gibbs.
"Anything you want to tell her last time Gibbs?" Crawford said as he grabbed Gibbs's back of his jacket collar and made him look at Sloane. And pointed his gun at Gibbs head.
"I am sorry, Jack. I failed you. I'm sorry. I love..." before he could complete his sentence Crawford shot Sloane in her head...
"NOO..." Gibbs yelled.. but Crawford hit his back of the head and he lost consciousness.
"CODE BLUE.. CODE BLUE in emergency ward 7." Male nurses ran into the room.
"Agent McGee. Any update on Gibbs? " Vance asked McGee.
"Wayne tells that he didn't regain consciousness since we left that warehouse. He was taken to the emergency ward. He had internal bleeding in his head. The Doctor said he has blood clot in his head. Don't understood what he said exactly but Wayne told us that he got hits on his head many times. He has broken nose, hairline fractures in his jaw bone. Several bruising ribs. Dislocated shoulder and hairline fracture in his left thigh. Only God knows what else he had been through." McGee's voice chocked as he trying to control his emotions. Vance put his hand on his shoulder and tapped.
"He will be fine, McGee. He's a tough Son of a b*. Where's agent Torres and agent Bishop?" Vance asked.
"They are with Wayne and taking his statement.. He took a bullet for Gibbs. Can you imagine that? One GSW through and through to his left shoulder. " McGee replied.
"Hmm.. go and take some re..." he stopped as he saw group of doctors and nurses ran toward Gibbs room. He stops one of the nurses and asked him.
"Hey... what happened? Is agent Gibbs okay? " Vance asked.
"Don't know yet. But agent Gibbs having panic attack. And after his surgery it's not good sign. Please excuse me now.." that nurse replied in hurry and left. McGee and Vance are looking through the glass and saw doctor charged defibrillator and pads were placed on Gibbs bruised torso. His body jerked but nothing happened. Again they charged and put that on Gibbs chest still nothing happened. Third time they charged defibrillator and placed the pads on Gibbs chest.
"C'MON BOSS. YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH WORSE THAN THIS. C'MON BOSS, DON'T GIVE UP NOW. FIGHT GIBBS FIGHT." McGee was yelling through the door.
And third time they got him back. There was many happy faces in that room. When they saw heartbeat line on that monitor. When doctor came out of the room Vance asked him about Gibbs condition.
"As we can see that he's badly beaten. He is physically injured but he's more wounded from inside. His mind is thinking and keep worrying about someone else who was with him. During his surgery he was mumbling one name continuously. Jack... yes that name was Jack. Who's that person? It would be helpful with his recovery if that person will be there when he wakes up. How did he end up in this situation ?" Doctor informed Vance.
"Well agent Gibbs was on undercover assignment with agent Jack Sloane. He and agent Sloane's being tortured after their covers blown up. That bastards tortured Gibbs and agent Sloane for information." Vance tell him.
"Is this the same case that you were talking about in the press conference?" Doctor asked him.
"Yes. It is." Vance answer him.
"Okay. Now can we see him?" McGee asked him. He was loosing his patience.
"Yes, you can but, right now he's sleeping. We sedate him for reducing his pain. After an hour he will be awake. Then you can talk with him. But right now I suggest you to do not disturb him. You can see him but don't try to wake him up. He's out of danger now but his body needs rest and the more he rests the faster he recovers from his injuries. Now one at a time. But only for two minutes. " Doctor informed them.
"You should go first agent McGee and I am going to check on Jack." Vance tell him. After McGee left doctor stop Vance.
"Director Vance, we need to talk. About agent Gibbs condition." Doctor said with concern.
"What happened? He's okay right? What aren't you telling us doc. ?" Vance asked him.
"Yeah, he is going to be fine. But my concern is that he's might be suffering from emotional trauma. His panic attack. He's really afraid of losing his loved once may be agent Sloane. Director does agent Gibbs have been suffered from this trauma before?" Doctor asked him.
"In my knowledge, yes. But it was about 14 years ago when he was injured in explosion." Vance replied in confusion.
"You forgot many things here Director.
I hope I'm not interrupting you gentlemen." Vance turned and saw Ducky.
"Of course not Dr. Mallard. After all this is your area of expertise." Vance takes step back and allow Ducky to join the conversation.
"Doctor this is our NCIS historian Doctor Donald Mallard. He knows Gibbs more than we do." Vance introduced him.
"You can call me Ducky." Ducky handshakes with Doctor.
"Hello, Ducky. I'm Dr. Stephen. I would like know about agent Gibbs's medical history. Especially about his trauma." Stephen asked.
"Like Director Vance informed you about that explosion. Gibbs have painful history of his family. He lost his wife and daughter in car accident it was murder actually while he was in Kuwait. After that he went through a lot of similar situations. He lost his agent Kate Todd. She died trying to save his life.
Then he lost his partner Jennifer shepherd and his mentor Mike Frank. He lost many people in his life. He was shot in Iraq 5 years ago by the kid whom he was helping. In that same year to get revenge on Gibbs one terrorist started recreating all murders of Gibbs's loved ones. And then his best agent leave the NCIS for family reasons. And about two years ago he was being held captive in Paraguay for two months with agent McGee. And the very recently he find out that the agent he thought was dead actually she was alive and came back to save Gibbs. Because from whoever she was hiding they attacked Gibbs and tried to kidnap him. And then he got too close to the child who lived in his neighborhood and they were having strong bond but Gibbs has to kill his mother because she's the terrorist and using her kid to get Gibbs. She was the one who was trying to kill agent Ziva David and tried to kidnap Gibbs. Her child do not know about it and he ran away. But Gibbs found him and he is now with his uncle and aunt
There is more but I hope this might be enough for your information." Ducky told him everything, every ups and down Gibbs went through in his life. After very long pause Dr. Stephen said.
"And then this assignment happened. Oh my God.. he is living really hard life. Now we have to convince him to take therapy and counseling sessions. It will be really very helpful to get him back to the normal life. And I suggest you to don't leave him alone. There will be always a one person have to stay with him. Any family members who can stay with him?" Dr. Stephen asked.
"WE ARE HIS FAMILY." Ducky and Vance said together and smile.
"Good. But one person only. And he needs counseling or he has to spend one month in Navy asylum..." Vance interrupt him.
"Well good luck with that Doc" Vance said. Because he knows after informing Gibbs about that there is a very slim chance for Stephen to getting out of it alive.
"What do you mean? He need.."
"I am sorry. Leave that on me Dr. I know the perfect man I mean woman for this job Dr. Confalone. Gibbs has been her patient since Iraq case."
"Ah... Grace Confalone. I was going to recommend her name for Gibbs counseling. It's good for him because he already knows her so he would be comfortable with her. She is really great Doctor. If you don't mind I have to go to check on other patients." Dr. Stephen left.
"What do you think Ducky, will Gibbs going to be ready for counseling with Dr. Grace?" Vance asked Ducky. They both are looking at Gibbs through the window glass.
"Well if he don't then you can give him direct orders. As a Director that you can do." Ducky said and they both smile at each other.
"Now you stay with him Ducky and I am going to check on Jack." Vance said to Ducky.
"Sure thing Director. Director did you informed SecNev yet?" Ducky replied and asked Vance about SecNev.
"Not yet but I will. After checking on Jack." And Vance left for Jack's room.
In Jack's room
"Hey, Jack. How are you doing?" McGee asked her.
"I am fine McGee. How is Gibbs? You found him right? Where's he? I want to see him." Sloane said and sitting up on her bed and tried to stand up.
"There's no need Jack. He's sleeping right now. And yes he is going to be fine. But we need your help." Vance said as he entered in her room.
"What do you mean, Leon?" Sloane asked him.
"Well Gibbs has panic attack. And Dr. said that he's afraid of losing his loved ones. He was mumbling your name and asking for you. So Doctor suggested that you have to be there when he woke up. There's no need to worry about his physical injuries it will be heal with time. But our main concern is his mental health. I hope you are understanding what I'm saying, right Jack?" Leon explained her.
"Of course I do, Leon. I love him and I will do anything for him. Now take me to his room." Sloane tried to get on his feets and McGee bring a wheelchair for her. She was going to refuse but Vance fold his hands and starring her. Sighed in frustration she sit down in wheelchair. And Vance take her to Gibbs's room.
In Wayne's room
"So you're saying that you knows that Gibbs changed your pen with our device. Then why didn't you break it? Why did you decide to wait?" Bishop asked Wayne.
"I was impressed with his bold move. And I just want to know that what he was up to. And if I break it you people find out that I know about your device and you might be won't able to get Wynn. I really like Gibbs. He is my best friend that I never had in my life." Wayne answer her question.
"One more thing is bothering me. Why didn't you just gave us the address of the warehouse. Why did you bother with tracing that call? And why'd you change your mind and decide to help Gibbs?" Nick asked.
"I was wondering why didn't you ask me this questions before. But it's better late than never.
That place was new for me because I never saw that warehouse during all these years. So I also don't know where we are.
And answer to your second question is Gibbs reminds me who I am. I was lost after my daughter's death. I made wrong decisions and chose wrong path. But Gibbs he is a great man. He knows what I'm doing to earn money but still he makes me realized that this is not me who served this country and saves many people. And now I was betraying this country.
When he was being held in George's warehouse I brought some water for him and that woman."
"Her name is Special Agent Jack Sloane." Nick said firmly. Wayne look at him and then he laughs.
"Now I know why Gibbs feels so proud of his team. He choose all of you because he saw himself in you. Well back to the point. After what I did to him but he still wants to help me. He wants me to leave this business and wants me to gave my statement against Crawford. And he also tell me to help Agent Sloane to get her out of there. That stubborn SOB was not thinking about himself. Just because of him I decides to help him. And I am feeling happy after long time. That I did something right and did something for this country. After all we both are marine.
SEMPER FI" they were interrupt by Doctor Stephen.
"Can you please go outside.?" Doc tell them.
"Yeah, why not. Thank you for your help Wayne." Bishop replied.
"How is Gibbs Doctor?" Wayne asked. Wayne tried to hide his tears but he couldn't stop them. When Nick heard what Wayne asked Doctor he looked over his shoulder and saw tears in Wayne eyes. Wayne looked at him and gave him sad smile. Doctor informed him about Gibbs condition.
"Wow.. Gibbs feel proud of us. He never tell us about it. What do you think, Nick? Nick..." Bishop turned around and saw Nick was standing there leaning against wall.
"Hey... what happened? " Bishop asked him and rubbing her hand on his shoulder.
"This Wayne guy is really good guy Ellie. I'm feeling proud that Gibbs chose me and I am part of his team. Gibbs is the man with golden heart. He brought him back on the right path and then Wayne decides to help him. Just think Ellie what if Gibbs didn't care about what Wayne's doing. And just keep doing his job what will happen?
That bastard Wynn Crawford killed him and we might not be able to find even Gibbs body. But Gibbs didn't do that he cares about others and it doesn't matter who they are. He always try to help who needs it. He helped me when I needed it. He always treats me as a son. I'm feeling happy that I have a FATHER LIKE GIBBS. Doesn't matter he is my boss and we're just a coworkers but if something was happens to Gibbs I don't know what ..." His voice choked. Bishop gave him a hug. And Nick hugs her back and cried. Bishop confort him.
"Hey.. Nick. Stop crying. Hey.. hey look at me. Look at me we got him. He's safe now. He's safe." Bishop said and confort him.
In Gibbs room
McGee wheeled Sloane in Gibbs room. She saw Gibbs lying on the bed, oxygen mask on his face and he was looking so pale. His face was covered with bruises. His left eye was swollen shut. His right hand was in sling. His head injury was bandaged now. She noticed bandages on his wrists.
IV line was attached to his left arm. She took his left hand in her hand and rubbed her thumb on his hand. Gibbs was having nightmare.
Gibbs was in the same warehouse but it was empty. No one was there. There was a bright light coming through the door he started walking toward that direction. And he saw many figures are standing there.
"Hey.. Who's there? HEY JACK IS THAT YOU?"
Shannon and Kelly, Kate, Jenny, Mike, Lara Macy, Diane and there is someone else was standing there.
"It's us Gibbs. Don't you remember us?"
"It's me Jethro."
"Shannon! Kelly! " Gibbs whispered then he noticed that they all are covered in blood. Blood was floating from their wounds. He got scared after watching them like this.
"You told us that you will never let anything happen to us. Look Jethro we're dead. JUST BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU LEFT US AND NOW YOU LEFT SLOANE. SHE'S DEAD JETHRO JUST LIKE US." Shannon was yelling at him.
"NO... I didn't killed you. Shann how could I do that to you and Kelly. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry..." Gibbs had tears in his eyes.
"You don't deserve it, Daddy. We are dead just because of you. I tried to stop you but you didn't listen to me." Kelly said in anger.
"Don't say that, Kelly. I... I... had to go. But you were right I should have to listen to you. I'm sorry Kelly. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you. Please forgive me.." Gibbs was on his knees and started crying.
"It doesn't matter now Gibbs. It didn't bring us back. We all died because of you. It wasn't our time. It would be you instead of me." Gibbs got to his feet.
It's Kate she's covered in blood and wearing same clothes of the day she died.
"I don't deserved that you deserved that Gibbs. It had been you Gibbs not me it's not my time. You killed me. And now you killed SLOANE" She started walked toward him. Gibbs took few steps back.
"NO...NO. SHE'S ALIVE. But I am sorry Kate. You were right it has to be be me instead of you. I'm sorry Kate."
"And I also died to protect you Jethro. We all died in different ways but for only one reason. IT'S YOU JETHRO. JUST BECAUSE OF YOU I'M DEAD. NOW IT'S SLOANE WHO DIED. YOU KILLED US." Jenny suddenly came in front of him and Gibbs took few steps back. He was sweating and crying. Because Jenny was also covered in blood. Her shirt was covered with blood.
"No.. Jenn I didn't killed you either. Hell I don't even know where were you. Tony and Ziva were on protection details..."
"That's the problem Jethro. Everytime when someone dies because of you, you was not there. And if you're there but you failed to protect them same as YOU FAILED TO PROTECT SLOANE."
"No..NOO... you are lying. And you can lie to people on their faces easily. I don't trust you." Gibbs replied.
"And what about me Gibbs? I didn't do anything. But still that bastard Jason Dean killed me. Just because I hide those evidence against you?" Lara Macy comes in light. Her neck was bleeding.
"Answer me Gibbs. Just like me Jack didn't do anything but still she died. JUST BECAUSE OF YOU! "
"NO... She is not dead. You hear me. She is NOT DEAD. "
"Why because Wayne tells you that your team got her. Since when you started trusting CRIMINALS PROBIE? I didn't teach you that. Unh... " Mike came from behind the pillar. His stab wound was fresh and it's still bleeding. He's smoking cigarette.
"Mike! I'm..." Gibbs try to talk to him.
"Don't probie. Because you're not going to get one. I was died just outside of you house but you didn't came to save me. You heard that gunshots and you don't even bother to look for me. I am dead just because of you. And now that lady Sloane was dead. Because you don't even tried to save her and you let her die in front of your eyes." Mike was started coughing.
"No.. I didn't let you die Boss. Before I came to you, you were dead. And that serial killer ran away. And I didn't let Sloane die. She's NOT dead MIKE. She's not dead."
"All you have is excuses. People around you are dying just because of you. Don't you see that. Even I was not around you anymore but still I died. Why? Just because one pshyco terrorist wants revenge on you and he chose me to cause you pain. But I was not your family anymore Gibbs. I was happy with my life. With my daughter and Fornell.
Until you told me that you wanted to see me. And I died right in front of your eyes and you did nothing Gibbs YOU.. DID.. NOTHING..." Diean grabbed Gibbs shoulder and turned him around. Her face was bloodied and there's blood all over on her face and her clothes.
"Diane... I am sorry. That bastard dragged you into this. I'm sorry.." Gibbs apologized to her.
"It doesn't matter Gibbs. It doesn't bring me back to my daughter and husband. And it doesn't matter because it doesn't bring Agent Sloane back either." Diane said with smile.
"No.. you are lying."
"She's not Gibbs. Sloane is dead and she is dead just because of you." Gibbs turned around to saw that man who was standing behind him.
Gibbs was shocked by what he just saw. That other person is Gibbs himself. His clothes were covered in blood too. His white shirt was now become red because of blood. His face was bruised and his left eye was swollen shut.
"No.. I'M NOT DEAD. I'M NOT DEAD AND SO AS SLOANE. THIS IS NOT REAL. THIS IS NOT REAL. YOU ALL ARE LYING. THIS IS NOT REAL. AND SLOANE IS NOT DEAD... DO YOU HEAR ME. SHE'S NOT DEAD."
Gibbs was surrounded by them they all are blaming him for their death. They grabbed him and started beating him. Shannon and Kelly are standing in the corner and laughing at him. Everybody was beating him because he failed them and now they were dead. Gibbs saw Victor and Wynn standing there with Sloane. He tried to get up and wants to save her but everyone looming over him and started kicking him and beating the crap on him.
He saw Victor and Wynn dragged Sloane away from him. Sloane was screaming at him, she was pleading him to save her. But Wynn pulled out his gun and shot her in the head.
"NOO... JACK. GET OFF ME.. LET ME GO.. NO.. SLOANE NOT YOU TOO. JACK.. JACK. LET ME GO... I AM SORRY JACK. I AM SORRY... JACK.!! " Gibbs was yelling and screaming at everyone his vision becomes blurred and he lost consciousness...
Suddenly Gibbs jerked awake and screamed Sloane's name.
"NOO... JACK. I AM SORRY JACK. I SHOULD HAVE TO PROTECT YOU. I'M SORRY... I'M SORRY.. " Gibbs was sweating and his vision was blurred.
"Hey... Gibbs. Honey I'm here. Look.. look at me Gibbs. Look at me. I am fine just because of you. You saved my life Gibbs. You saved me." Sloane took Gibbs face between her hands and trying to calm him down. McGee came with Dr. Stephen.
Stephen checked his pulse reading, heart beat and blood pressure. Gibbs was feeling dizzy he try to look at the figure who is looming over him. He saw Victor face and he grabbed his neck and started choking him.
"You..! You bastard I told you get away from her. You killed her..! I will kill you. You son of a b *. You took her away from me. Now I am going to kill you." Gibbs was thinking that Stephen was Victor and choking him harder with his left hand.
Some male nurses entered in the room and grabbed Gibbs hand and pinned him down to the bed. First Stephen decides to restrain him. But then he tells his nurse to give him shot of morphine. Little but effective that keep him calm and he will fell asleep.
There was three male nurses trying to held him down but he started fighting and pushed the doctor and punched one of the nurse in his face. Gibbs thought these are Wynn, Victor and his men who are stoping him to save Sloane. And he keep yelling at them and tries to get free from their grip.
"Get off me... let her go please. I told you that she had nothing to do with this. Please kill me instead of her. Please Wynn. PLEASE... I am sorry Jack. I'm sorry. " Gibbs was crying.
Sloane then takes his face between her hands and keep telling him that she is alive he saved her life and killed Victor and Wynn. Gibbs started calming down but still don't know that this is real or his hallucinations and Doctor size the chance and give him a shot of morphine. That work fast and Gibbs was struggling with keeping his eyes open. Doctor informed McGee that if this will happen again they have to restrain him. Because Gibbs could hurt himself by trying to fight against him and his staff. So for his safety they have take this step next time. McGee didn't say anything in acknowledgment. Stephen leave with his staff. Only one nurse stayed in the room who's taking care of Gibbs for 24 hours. She tells McGee to don't feel bad what just Doctor said because what he said was good for Gibbs. Because in this situation there's possibility that he could harm himself. Then she left too.
"It's okay honey. Sleep and I will be here when you wakes up. Believe me I will be here. That's the promise." She cares his face with her hand.
"Promise...me that you won't leave me Jack..." Gibbs whispered. And finally he fell asleep. He looks peaceful when he was asleep. Sloane gently ran her hand on his head. She felt relaxed when she saw him asleep.
"What's wrong with him? I never saw Gibbs crying like this. What aren't you telling me, McGee?" Sloane asked McGee with very angry tone. McGee was scared because Sloane still didn't know what happened to Gibbs
"We are nothing hiding from you Jack. He had a nightmare. And it's looks like a terrible one. Don't worry Sloane he will be fine. We have to be strong for him. He is afraid to loosing you. After what happened he was scared. He still don't know about your condition. So that might be the reason of his nightmare. Because don't know you are fine now and with us. What he knows is that Wynn left you in the warehouse. Even after Wayne told him that team got you. But his mind was not able to believe that until he saw you by himself. So you have to be fine for him.
Dr. Stephen told me about what just happened. Don't worry Timothy he's not going to restrain him. He was hurt by Jethro's reaction. Now go and take some rest and take Torres and Bishop with you too. You all are working for three days without having a single minute rest. So now go take some rest and sleep. I will call you if we needs you." Ducky said.
"McGee.." Gibbs was calling him.
"Hey, McGee Gibbs is calling you."
"Yeah, Boss I'm here." McGee ran toward Gibbs and knelt down next to his bed.
"Hey... I want you to release one thing from evidence. A pen. That belongs to Wayne. I want to give him back it's a last thing of her daughter." Gibbs voice was sore. Jack gave him water he took few sips from the cup.
"I will Boss. Now you rest. Anything you want just tell me."
"Right now just do what Ducky said. Go home. You all did good. Proud of you." Gibbs said.
"Thank you Boss. But we just did what you would do for us." McGee replied and with his left hand he gave him head slap.
"Hey, what was that for?"
"For not telling me that Jack is fine." Gibbs said. Sloane and Ducky laughs.
"Hey.. Cowboy. Don't ever do that again. You scared us. Now rest Doctor's orders. So go back to sleep." Sloane said Gibbs and kissed him on his forehead.
Gibbs fell asleep and he was relaxed because he knows that Sloane is safe and good. And he tell McGee to bring that pen that's belongs to Wayne. Now he's sleeping peacefully after what he had been through in past couple of days.
Gibbs was having nightmares and panic attack. Gibbs was having rough time. Having nightmare about all dead people of his life, all people whom he loved and they all were blaming him for their death. And got beat up by them was scary. But finally he finds out Sloane is safe. And Nick was feeling proud that he is part of Gibbs team.
Vance, Ducky and Sloane are worried about Gibbs but now he's doing fine. But now he has to deal with Dr. Grace otherwise he has to spend one month in Navy Asylum. I'm sure he will choose option one. After all Grace is able to handle him very well. She's a great Doctor.
So what will happen next?
Stay tuned to find out. Till then enjoy this chapter and STAY SAFE AND STAY AT HOME.
THANK YOU.
