Author's Note: Sorry it has been awhile. My USB got broken and lost nearly all my information. But I am back for a little while now but I have surgery coming up. I will be out of commission for a bit.

On a happier not Happy 22nd Birthday to me:)

Chapter 7: Paula Cassidy

The scene faded and was replaced with the scene of a bombing all those years ago.

"What are you doing Gibbs?" Paula Cassidy asks

"Trying to figure out why people can't let me die in peace", Gibbs says

"Because we all believe it is not your time yet. You ARE needed. Remember your team? I have never seen a team so loyal to you. Losing you will crush them. Are you prepared to do that?" Paula asks
"As I have said they are strong", Gibbs says

"What do you think would happen if you died?" Paula asks

"Tony would take over the team", Gibbs says

"Let me show you what one possible future is", Paula says as the scene fades to come to the hospital

"You better say your goodbyes Agent David. We are losing him", the doctor says from Tony's bedside

"Please Tony live for me. I love you. I can't live without you", Ziva says

That's when Tony flat lines.

"Stand back", the doctor says

Ducky holds Ziva back as the doctors try and resuscitate Tony. After 15 minutes the doctor looks at Ziva with symphony.

"Time of death 10.46PM", the doctor says

"NO, NO. He can't leave me", Ziva says tears falling

"I am sorry ma'am. Looks like he didn't have the strength", the doctor says with symphony

"If Jethro lived Anthony would have survived. He always did for Jethro. But now…", Ducky stopped and sunk into a chair and trying to comfort Ziva who was sobbing

"I lost them both. They are gone", Ziva says sobbing

The scene changes and they were at NCIS in the Directors office.

"I am sorry Director I can't work here anymore", Ziva says

There were dark circles under her grief stricken eyes.

"It is too painful. I can't stay", Ziva says handing over her badge and gun

The next scene was Abby in the Directors office.

"I am leaving. I can't stay here anymore. I am going to work for the FBI. I can't stand this place anymore not after Kate, Gibbs and Tony died. Too many reminders. And Ziva has left too. I have to go Sir", Abby says tears falling

"If it is what you wish", Vance says solemnly

They next go to a bar. McGee was drinking he looked like he had been drinking for days even weeks.

"Sir I think you had enough", the bartender says

"No…More", McGee slurs

"No", the bartender says

That's when McGee in his drunken state punches him. A cop that was in the bar at the time arrests McGee.

"Do you want to press charges?" the cop asks the bartender

"I lost them all. Kate, Jenny, Gibbs and DiNozzo are dead. Ziva gone and so is the love of my life. I don't care about life anymore. Arrest me", McGee slurs

The next scene showing Ducky retiring and living in seclusion for the rest of his life.

"See what could possibility be?" Paula asks softly as they go back to where Paula was killed

"That won't happen. You are not showing me the truth", Gibbs says stubbornly

"That is up to you to believe. Goodbye Gibbs. For everyone's sake I hope you choose life. You don't belong here yet", Paula says

The scene fades and Gibbs wonders where he is going next…
