It was the dimly lit hours of dawn at the hospital when Kate slowly moved into Tony's room. She sighed, he still hadn't changed in his condition much. It had been weeks now and though the main transplant hope Wolfe had sadly been a dud. His heart was too damaged by the gunshots. Kate sighed once more her hand resting on the battered and beaten face of her partner.

His hair was starting to return, and the skull had been replaced so his figures were also much less distorted. Though the absence of his voice and his banter left her feeling empty. She sighed her head falling to lay on his chest, his breathing was steady and in tone with her's. But he had remained in the coma, the doctor's were amazed by his length of unconsciousness with the injuries and said that he may have brain injuries.

Her hand clasped his as she laid there half on top of him half in her seat. She barely heard the door push open as Gibbs walked in. His hand was still plastered against his abdomen as he kept the stitches in line.

"Kate, if I didn't know better I'd say you were falling for the unconscious." He smirked lightly before sitting next to her.

"When did they release you?"

"A few hours ago, decided my infection was gone so here I am. And you are no longer acting NCIS alright?"

"Yes Gibbs, and Gibbs..."

"Yes?"

"Thanks." She smiled as she saw the look of recognition, she nearly jumped to wrap her arms around him and give him a giant hug. But decided better of it as she rested her head upon Tony's chest once more.

Gibb's smiled before walking out of the room, his steps quick and powerful as he was heading home for the first time in weeks. He had fought against the wound and the infection he had recieved soon after it. He sighed, it was just one of those days where nothing was going wrong but at the same time nothing was right either.

Sorry about the wait guys, I have been sick so this isn't my best work. It will get better I hope, and like I said don't delve too much into the relationships. It just may be a surprise you've never seen before! muhahahaha Anyway, as for the death. It is a tragedy, who I am killing I don't know. But remember someone will die! muhahaha cough cough
