Chp.5
When they arrived Tony got into ICU.
Gibbs sat on one of the plastic chairs and waited. It seemed like hours. He rubbed his eyes as he heard someone yell his name.
"GIBBS!" Abby ran to him, closely followed by the rest of the team.
Gibbs stood up and let Abby sob in his chest.
"Shh… It's okay Abby. He'll pull through this." He said.
"Jethro, what happened?" Ducky asked sitting down on one of the chairs as well.
"Bullet caught him in the gut." Gibbs explained still comforting Abby.
"I'll go and look for a doctor." Ducky said and went away.
"Found anything, McGee?"
"Er… we… we came right here… to… to see how Tony is." McGee stuttered.
"Then go back to the scene! We have a case!" Gibbs ordered raising his voice.
McGee swallowed and his bottom lip stood out again.
"I'll call." Gibbs answered the silently asked question.
"Okay. Come on Ziva." McGee said and they went to the parking lot.
"What if… what if he… he dies?" Abby hiccupped.
"He won't."
"Jethro, this is doctor Alex Hayden." Ducky said.
Doctor Hayden shook hand with Gibbs. "Special agent Gibbs, the surgery zigzagged very well. We removed the bullet. I guess you want it?" He asked holding up a bag with the bullet.
"Yes, thank you. So how is he?"
"He's tough. I'm pretty sure that he'll pull through this without complications. He's in room 114 c. You can go see him if you want." Doctor Hayden said nodding and said his good bye.
"Come on, Abbs. Let's see how Tony's holding up." Gibbs said.
"Oh my god!" Abby exclaimed when they entered Tony's room and laid her head back on Gibbs chest.
"He's okay. Let's go to him okay? Come on."
"He's so pale." Abby whispered and grabbed Tony's left hand.
"When can we expect him to wake up?" Gibbs asked.
"I can't tell you for sure, Jethro. Might be a few hours. I'll let you know."
"Thanks Duck. And watch after Abby." Gibbs said, gave Abby a kiss on the head and went out.
"Anthony, Anthony, Anthony…" Ducky mumbled and sat on a chair next to the bed.
