Shattered Glass

Previously on Emergency

Ziva's POV

Twenty minutes later we were out the door. Tony insisted that we swing by his apartment to get his portable DVD player so he would have something to do in case we got called out. I pulled out of the parking lot and drifted up to the stop light, which was currently red. Tony placed his hand over mine where it rested on the gearshift and I smiled. The light turned green and I began to proceed though the intersection. Suddenly, Tony shouted.

"Ziva, look out!" Tony yelled.

All I remember after that was a jolt, blaring car horns, and then my world faded to black.

Tony's POV

I had insisted that we go to my apartment for my DVD player. If I hadn't, we wouldn't be here right now.

A black pickup truck had t-boned us on Ziva's side of the car. I was a little dizzy, but was otherwise fine. Ziva was unconscious and she had a huge cut on her forehead from her shattered window. The whole right side of the car was practically on top of her. I maneuvered myself so I could reach my cell and I dialed dispatch.

"Federal Dispatch, how can I help you?" the voice on the other end of the line said.

"Special Agent Tony DiNozzo, NCIS. Myself and another agent have been in a car accident. She's unconscious."

"What's your location?" the voice asked.

"Fifth and Oak," I said. There was silence for a minute and then the voice came back on.

"Someone already called about that accident and police and EMT's are on their way."

"Thank you," I said and I pushed the end button, then I dialed Gibbs.

Gibbs's POV

I was sitting at my desk doing paperwork when the phone rang. I pulled it off my clip and looked at the caller ID, it was Tony.

"DiNozzo, what so you want?" I asked.

"Boss, Ziva and I were just in an accident," Tony said. "Ziva's hurt and unconscious."

"Where?" I asked standing up. McGee saw me stand up and followed suit, pulling his gun out of his drawer as he did.

"Fifth and Oak, Boss, I gotta go, the EMT's are here," Tony said.

"Alright, Tony, we'll be there," I said and hung up the phone. "Let's go McGee; Ziva and Tony were in an accident.

Tony's POV

I hung up with Gibbs just as an EMT came to my side of the car.

"Sir, are you injured?" he asked.

"I don't think so, just a little disoriented," I answered. "My girlfriend is unconscious though and she has a pretty bad gash on her forehead. I don't know what else though."

"Is she breathing?" the EMT asked. I nodded. "Alright, my name is Mark and my partner's name is Susan." I had just now noticed the other EMT standing next to him.

"I'm Tony, and my girlfriend is Ziva. We're federal agents with NCIS, so if it's at all possible, can you take us to Bethesda?"

"We'll see how bad your girlfriend is, UNI is closer," Mark said. I closed my eyes and groaned. I had no way of knowing if Jeanne had come back or not. "Ok, Tony, we're going to get you out of the car and then try to get Ziva out." Mark checked my neck to make sure I didn't have a neck injury and then he helped me out of the car. I was sore and stiff, but otherwise fine. Susan, who was smaller than Mark crawled into the car and began taking Ziva's vitals. Meanwhile, the rescue crew was working on pulling apart the two cars so they could get Ziva out. Mark walked me over to the ambulance and sat me down inside.

"Will she be okay?" I asked as Mark took my blood pressure and heart rate.

"There's no way of telling at this point and there won't be until we get her out of the car," Mark said. "Tell me about her."

"We've worked together for three years and one day I just kind of realized that I loved her, like, loved her loved her, not just a physical attraction," I said. Then, I heard yelling.

"DiNozzo, where are you?" Gibbs's voice sounded. I got up and stuck my head out of the back of the ambulance.

"Right here, Boss," I said. Gibbs and McGee came running over.

"Where's Ziva?" Gibbs asked.

"The right side of the car collapsed. The other EMT is checking her while they pry apart the cars so they can get her out," I told him. They both had grim looks on their faces.

"Why is this accident outside your apartment? I thought you were going to Ziva's?" Gibbs asked. I sighed; I knew he wasn't going to like the answer.

"Because I wanted to get my DVD player so I had something to do if you guys got called out and I had finished my paperwork," I said.

"Damn it, DiNozzo," Gibbs said, running his hand over his face.

McGee's POV

While Gibbs was talking to Tony I walked a bit farther forward and surveyed the wreckage. The truck had slammed Tony and Ziva pretty good, considering the Mini Cooper was the length of the front of the truck. The rescue workers were prying the truck from the Mini Cooper and they finally pulled it free. Tony's EMT went running past me with the stretcher. Tony came up behind me.

"Gibbs is calling the Director and Abby," he said. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It's not your fault, you know that, right?" I said.

"I know, but why do I feel so guilty?" Tony asked as he ran his hand through his hair wearily. Just then, the EMT's came back with Ziva on the stretcher. She looked pale and there was blood all over the one side of her face along with glass fragments in her hair. Her right arm was also covered in small cuts from the shattered glass and there was an oxygen mask on her face. I had never seen Ziva so helpless and it scared me. Tony must have seen the look on my face because he patted me on the shoulder.

"She'll be fine, Probie," he said and then jogged off after the EMT's.
