It will be a few days after the bombing and since its now past the premiere i am considering it a AU :) again sorry for the wait xxCriminalIntelligencexx
"What the hell are you doing in an elevator during a goddamn bomb-threat?" Gibbs shouted, fuming. He was furious, two of the agency's best (and apparently smartest) agents had decided, that in the rush of the moment, they would take the elevator. So now, here he was talking to Tony.
"Boss hurry, Ziva is loosing a lot of blood, I need to get her out" he heard the panic in his probie's voice and frowned.
"Hurry up with that will you!" He demanded to one of the rescue team. The young man looked at Gibbs, the fear evident in his eyes, and rushed over handing him the Jaws of Life.
"Just keep her awake Tony, They'll get you out soon." He heard Tony muttering to the former mossad assassin.
"C'mon ninja, wake up. Please Zee, I know I took too long to tell you how I feel but are you really going to do this to me now that I did. I love you Zee, you have to wake up."
Gibbs' mouth fell open in surprise. Surely he didn't hear right. 'No' he thought 'I'm losing my hearing that's all, I'm going deaf" His phone started vibrating in his pocket. He took it out checking the caller ID before answering it.
"What's wrong Jimmy? He asked, "Have you gotten cold feet because I'm not the one to be asking about mar- Okay, okay wait what slow down" The young M.E on the other end slowed down.
"Ducky had a heart attack, He is awake, I am with him at the hospital and he is asking how everyone is. He wants to talk to you" Gibbs swallowed hard. "Okay, put him on" He said and heard the shuffling on the other end.
"Gibbs" Ducky's voice was raspy and light. "They called-" cough "Saying there was an explosion, is everyone alright?" He coughed once more.
"Ziva is hurt but the rest of the team is okay" He said into the phone, not wanting to bombard him in his current state.
"Sir!" He heard in the background "we need your help"
He could practically hear the gasp on the other end.
"Oh dear, is she okay? What was that noise"
"Yeah Ducky, she'll be fine, I have to go, I have to help with the rescue, feel better Duck" He hung up the phone before walking back over.
"DiNozzo how is she doing?" It was a few seconds before he answered.
"She's up boss but she's drifting off again, I can't keep her up any longer". He nodded before hollering back.
"Just five more minutes Tony." There was a pause again before he heard Tony's voice.
"Hear that Zi, just five more minutes. You only need to stay awake for five more minutes, just until the medics get here." He felt his stomach drop at his younger agents next words
"No Ziva, c'mon, don't do this to us, wake up, we are so close. I love you Ziva David, more than anything."
Okay, so maybe he wasn't going deaf. Oh, well could this day get any worse? He knew that they would get together eventually and hell he was even secretly rooting for them but seriously, could they have not done this little rendezvous some other time, and place. Like say… at home… when there wasn't a bomb! Oh, there were going to be words. He was about to speak up about this little… predicament when his phone rang once more.
He picked it up at seeing the caller ID
"McGee, what's wrong, I'm a little busy" He said annoyed.
"Abby has a piece of metal in her eye, I'm going with her to Bethesda to get it removed" The "probie" said and he sighed.
"Okay, yah she'll fell better with someone she knows. How was she when she woke up?" he heard Mcgee cough lightly before he continued.
"Uh, she was good, talkative, but how are the others?" Gibbs laughed lightly but he was a little more than pissed off.
"Uh well Tony and Ziva are stuck in the elevator and I swear I heard Tony say he loves her but I'm hoping its just my old age" he hesitated and the other agent was silent.
"That's all I know but I will call you when I know more." he hung up before walking back over and picking up the crowbar started to pry at the elevator doors, after five minutes they opened.
There sat Tony and Ziva, in the corner of the elevator, which was lodged halfway between the first floor and the basement. Semi-conscious, Ziva was curled up into Tony's chest. Tony had one arm around her back and the other was holding his bloody jacket against her still bleeding head. Tony looked up at his boss and while still stroking the Israeli's hair he gave a small grateful smile.
"How is she?" He asked and the smile fell just a bit. "She's hanging in there but we have to get her out" Gibbs nodded and he motioned for the rescue team to come over.
"Okay, Agent-" the rescue worker started "DiNozzo" Gibbs filled in for the young man.
"Agent DiNozzo, I need you to slowly stand up and carefully try to slide her through the gap, towards me" He nodded looking at the three feet above him that he had to slide her out.
"Okay Dinozzo, it's okay I got her. Now are you hurt?" He asked and Tony shook his head getting out of the elevator. "Oh cause that is Elf Lord's blood on your shoulder" His mouth opened about to say something but then realised his own shoulder injury.
"I'll get it treated in the ambulance" He said and Gibbs shot a look at him. "I'm going with her Gibbs, there is nothing you can do to change my mind." Gibbs nodded, silently cursing.
He knew Tony would most likely not leave her side until she woke up, and even then, it would only be because she tells him that he smells bad and needs to shower or when they went after Dearing.
"Okay go" He watched as his younger agent ran to the gurney that the woman he loved was on. He sighed as he thought back to Jenny and Paris. Thinking about the thing that had ended what they could have had, and had caused for rule twelve to be created.
