I'm really glad you're all liking it, keep reviewing so I know I'm going in the right direction. Here's another chapter which answers some questions but again asks some questions too (I promise I'll cut down on the cliff-hangers)
Abby, Ducky and Ziva rushed through the automatic doors of the emergency rooms and nearly slammed into the reception desk, desperate for answers.
"Our friends were brought in, Special agents Gibbs, DiNozzo and McGee" Abby spoke. The receptionist looked up at the trio.
"The federal agents?" The three nodded seriously and waited as the woman typed into her computer. "They're still being examined, if you don't mind waiting I can find a doctor to tell you what's going on as soon as one is available"
"I'm Doctor Mallard, is there any chance of seeing the patients for myself. I know they would be comforted to know that I was looking after them myself" The receptionist looked at Ducky warily for a second before answering.
"I'll see if I can find a nurse to escort you"
"Thank you" Abby and Ziva fell into the plastic waiting chairs. "Don't worry girls, I'll come back as soon as I can with information" He patted Abby gently on the shoulder before leaving through a pair of double doors.
Duck arrived back to find Ziva pacing the hospital floor and Abby biting her black nails nervously. Abby jumped up from her seat when she spotted Ducky walking towards them.
"Well?"
"Timothy has a broken leg, a couple of broken ribs and a concussion, Anthony, a dislocated shoulder, bruised ribs, a fractured ankle and concussion. They'll recover quickly"
"And Gibbs?" Abby asked timidly, almost afraid of the answer.
"A couple of broken bones that can be easily sorted and he has some internal bleeding which they hope to sort out in emergency surgery but he also hit his head pretty badly. They're sending him up for a CAT scan now"
"How badly?" Ziva interjected.
"He could have brain swelling, he could be bleeding or worse. They're not sure yet so it's just a waiting game"
"And if it's worse?" Abby asked, this time she was close to tears.
"Abigail dear, let's not go there until we know for sure"
"Please Ducky"
"Brain damage, amnesia, loss of eyesight or hearing, that is…"Ducky paused for a second "...That is if he wakes up"
"Tony?"
"Yeah?"
"What happens now?" He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her slim waist"
"I have no idea" He answered honestly
