Chapter six

NCIS

B&W teaser-review chap. 1-6

Abby runs to the wardroom, to find out the condition of her fellow worker, Tim McGee. A worn out Gibbs, DiNozzo and an unsettled Ziva exit from the elevator. They all go to their desks.

"What the hell happened?" Abby asks.

Gibbs looks at her and responds, "Revenge."

"What?" she replies?

Tony gets up and calms Abby, "Hey…he's going to be alright. I swear."

"Tony's right. McGee will be fine." Gibbs interjects.

"You're lying!" Abby senses, with her woman's intuition.

"Abby. Things happen. McGee…will be okay. He can handle himself." Ziva says to calm her.

Abby sits down and tries to compose herself. She then adds, "I'm glad you're okay, Ziva."

"Thank you. Now don't worry about McGee."

Gibbs then stands and intervenes, "She's right, Abs. McGee isn't the one we should be worried about."

He then sternly looks at Officer David. She begins to become angry and gets up.

"You think I had something to do with this?"

"I'm not sure. Do you?" Gibbs responds.

"Hey …come on-" DiNozzo says as he tries to intervene.

"Stay out of this, Tony." Ziva exclaims.

"It's for your own good DiNozzo." Gibbs replies.

"I wouldn't betray Gibbs."

Gibbs turns away before he becomes angrier at the situation when Fornell walks up. He then turns to the window and asks aloud, "I wanna know what the hell is going on?"

"So do I Jethro?" Fornell informs.

"As do I. How can you-" Ziva is cutoff by Gibbs and Fornell talking at once.

"I want to know who killed Ari?" Fornell asks.

At the top of the stairs Director Jenny Shepard appears and orders, "All three of you in my office. NOW!"

Gibbs, Ziva and Fornell follow the director as Ducky and Palmer enter the wardroom.

"What happened DiNozzo?" Duck asks.

"I don't know." He responds rubbing his eyes.

"Is McGee going…" Palmer starts.

"I'm getting tired of answering that." Tony says as he sits back down.

"Tony…he was injured we need to know how bad." Abby asks with sadness in her voice.

"What would happen to you if you had a land mine blow up in your face. That is what happened to McGee. Can we just drop this?" Tony informs.

"My, God. The poor boy is in deep isn't he?" Ducky exclaims.

"Like what sort of…" Palmer asks as Tony jumps up and grabs him by the shirtfront.

"Drop IT Palmer!" Tony yells.

Abby and Ducky pull DiNozzo off Palmer as the assistant ME runs off scared.

Abby then hugs DiNozzo and ask, "He'll be okay, won't he?"

Tony sighs and then says, "I don't know Abby."

She steps back and then observes, "I can't go through this again. First Kate, now Timmy. What is going on?"

"These things happen, Abigail. For some reason unknown to us more so her and now." Ducky adds.

Abby then composes for a second and asks, "You find the guy, Tony. You find and you get him!"

Tony then becomes serious and replies, "I swear I will."

All of the sudden Tony's cell phone rings. He answers it.

"DiNozzo…Yeah…I understand. Thank You."

Abby sees the sadness in his eyes and ask, "What?"

"That was the hospital. McGee…may…he MIGHT…lose his right arm."

Tony sits there still shocked by the news with his phone still in hand.
