As soon as Kate's eyes roll, I open my arms, and she collapses into them.

"Gibbs!" I yell and he looks up at Kate's lifeless body.

"What happened?" he demands, running over. He touched her forehead.

"Take her to Ducky." He orders,

"Yes Boss." I say, heaving her so she's draped across my arms.

I carry her to the car where I lay her down in the back seat of the sedan and drive back to NCIS.

I carry her down to Ducky's lab.

"Ducky!" I yell "Ducky!"

"Anthony, what-" he starts coming out of a closet, but he pauses as soon as he sees Kate's inert body. "What happened?" he says concerned.

"She passed out. Will you check on her?" I say as I lay her as gently as I can on one of the autopsy tables.

For a stomach-clenching moment I realize how much she looks like she's dead and Ducky is about to do autopsy.

"Ah, I'll be at my desk. Call me back when you're done." I stutter, hurrying out of the room.
