Chapter 3
The doctor walked out to them, Gibbs, Kate and McGee stood up anxious to hear some news about Tony.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Frank Anderson. You are here for Anthony DiNozzo?"
"Yes, I'm Jethro Gibbs and this is Kate and Tim. We all work closely with Tony. How is he?" Gibbs tried to be calm and not to lash out at the doctor.
"Well, lets sit down and talk. I can start of telling you that Mr DiNozzo is a very lucky man, his injuries are bad but could be so much worse." He paused and looked at the team. " He woke up under the exam, we asked him the usual question like name, todays date year of birth and he could the right answerers. We didn't find any bleeding or much swelling of his brain but he have to stay so nothing comes up."
"Is he awake now?" Kate asked, feeling a bit relief that Tony had woke up but she really needed to see him.
"No, he isn't. His other injuries was giving him some real pain so we gave him some painkillers, he would probably sleep until morning."
"How serious is his other injuries?" Gibbs asked, still trying to stay calm.
"As I said it could have been a lot worse. Mr DiNozzo has broken his left arm in two places, no difficult breaks so we have laid it in a cast, then he has two broken ribs on his right side. We have wrapped them, but can't do much else with them. His left knee is swollen but it is nothing serious and his whole upper body, front and back, has many bruises some deep but nothing really serious. So you can see that he needed the painkillers."
"Can we see him?" Kate asked, she wanted to see Tony with her own eyes and then maybe yell at him for getting hurt.
"Yes, of course. We have put him in a one bedroom, so you can have your privacy. Nurse Ann will show you the way. I will be on call all night so have them page me if you have anymore questions."
Gibbs, Kate and McGee shook his hand and said their thanks the doctor before he walked away and a nurse came up to them.

"Here we are." The nurse said stopping at a door. "Don't hesitate to call us if you need something."
With that she left them and walked over to the nurses station.
Gibbs walked into the room first, Kate closely behind him and then McGee. They walked up to the bed were Tony lies and they are amazed how still and quiet he is.
Kate brushes a few hairs from his forehead, her fingers traces down his face, slides lightly over a bruise on his cheek. She sighed, kissed him on the forehead and walked over to a chair which she dragged over to the bedside. She sits down and grabbed his uninjured hand.
McGee then walks over to Tony, he doesn't really know what to do. He is glad Tony seems ok but he feels like he is unnecessary here. He looks at Gibbs, who nods and then McGee smiles a little before he walks out.
Gibbs sees McGee walk out, then he turn his eyes back to Tony. He walks over to him, needing to touch the younger agent so he can know for sure that he is still alive.
Kate is titting in the chair starring at Tony, she doesn't say anything as Gibbs leans over and kisses Tony's forehead. She understands how he is feeling and she knows that nothing will ever be the same again.
