A/N: Wow, thanks for the reviews! They were really spirit-lifting…..it took me a while to return back to earth after the compliments I've gotten :)…….but now that I'm back again; here's a new chapter and you now the drill: I do not own them and I appreciate reviews.
Gibbs had been walking for ten minutes when he spotted the body. The only thing that he could identify in the rain was that it was male and that it had been pierced by a piece of rock. For the first time in years, he began to pray.
//Please God, I know that I don't pray that much and that I'm not the most perfect human on this earth….but please. I'm asking, NO, begging you: don't take away the man that I love more then having the ability to breath.//
Standing next to the body, Gibbs barely suppressed a sigh when he realised that it wasn't Tony. Crouching down he carefully examined the man, since he realised that Tony had also taken this way and there was no chance in hell that Tony would have ignored the body, it meant that the man had died after Tony had passed by... making Gibbs aware that there was the possibility that Tony and the victim had met. What happened after that... well that was anyone's guess, but not something Gibbs wanted to think about. After one last look at the body and the surrounding area, he continued his hike; all the way praying that he would not find Tony in the same condition as the man he just left behind.
The rain had soaked Tony, making him shiver and aggravating the pain in his side. Groaning he closed his eyes and curled his hands into fists repressing the urge to push them on the painful area. He knew that he was weakening in a frightening pace, but he also realised that he could not get out of this situation on his own. He really needed help. Squeezing his eyes tighter, to stop the tears that threatened to escape him, he send out a prayer to anybody that would listen that he would be rescued. Opening his eyes he studied the sky; he just wished that it wouldn't be the last thing he ever saw, but when colours starting to appear in the corners of his vision and it became difficult for him to breath, he understood that it was over. No more 'living to the max' for Anthony DiNozzo... this was it. Already half unconsciousness, he realised that the thing that bothered him the most was that he would never see Gibbs again. Strange that the truth always came when you no longer had the chance to change things. And when darkness finally settled in and the world became quiet, Tony's only comfort was that he would see Kate again.

Okay, once again a short chapter…but that's what I do best ;)…..please review
