Gibbs drove McGee to the hospital, as Ziva would. McGee had barely jumped into the font seat before Gibbs had started speeding after the ambulance. McGee clung to the handles and the bottom of his seat for dear life, as Gibbs sailed through red lights, drove on the wrong side of the road and had several near misses with the oncoming traffic. McGee almost considered asking his boss to slow down, but he refrained after seeing the murderous gleam in Gibbs' eyes. It looked like he had a vengeance and all the traffic was personally against him. So McGee relented and just tried not to revisit his lunch.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ziva was raced into Trauma Room One, the surgical room, in order to stitch up the wound, and to receive blood transfusions. Tony was in better shape, although still unconscious, was lead to an entirely different ward. Gibbs and McGee arrived a few minutes later, and tried to get in to see Ziva. However the nurse at the front desk refused. 


'You can go in there, it's restricted to medical personal only'.

"This is not about turf' Gibbs growled

'No, your right, its not, it's about rules and there's one massive big one; that only medical personal are allowed in Trauma One'

"I'm a federal agent! One of my agents are dying in there, now let me in or I will have you arrested for the interference for an investigation." Gibbs yelled, flashing his NCIS badge angrily.

"I don't care what your fake ID says your from, you are not entering that room"

'fine I didn't want to do this but if you insist' Gibbs angrily snapped out his phone, flicked it open and speed dialed the director. "evening director Vance,' there was a pause 'No, I haven't been update on officer David's condition." The head nurse now shifted uncomfortably in her seat, she knew where this was heading.

Gibbs watched her squirm with a faint smile on his lips, but the humour was soon swept away as he thought of Ziva and her unknown state at the moment. He handed the phone to the head nurse, and he immediately recognised Vance's yells echoing from the phone piece. Unfortunately for her the whole of the waiting room could hear, but Gibbs had no pity for her.

After a seriously seeming long minute the head nurse handed back Gibbs' phone and pushed the button for the doors to open to Trauma Room One. McGee who had been silent for the whole showdown, no whispered a quiet thankyou to the nurse before following Gibbs, however he didn't get far, because at the doors to Trauma One, Gibbs turned rather suddenly, almost making McGee crash into him from behind.

"I want you to go cheak on DiNozzo, I will come as soon as she is stable." Gibbs saw McGee's eyes cloud in an, almost, annoyance, however Gibbs held his stare, and he saw his agent relent and then head back the other way, to find out which ward Tony was being held in. McGee turned and started to walk away but Gibbs called him back "Don't forget, you owe Abby a phone call" and with that Gibbs turned and headed in, walking solo, going in to get his agent. He was going to bring her back.

McGee was left outside the doors to Trauma One. He screwed up his eyes and slowly hit his head on the glass door. He had totally forgotten about Abby, she was going to be hysterical and she was absolutely going to kill him. He took a deep breath and pulled out his phone.

Gibbs stood outside the operating theatre, his face barely visible through the glass pane in the doors, with concern written in his eyes, but it could only been seen by those who really knew him.

He knew it showed, but it didn't matter, no one was looking, and really Ziva deserved his concern. After what she had done for him. She had saved his life at the price of her brother, she had helped him to regain his memory after the explosion, and countless other Times where she had been there, always able and willing to kill for his life. Trusting on his instinct, and that had been hard on her, to trust, he knew that, they don't teach trust in mossad, they teach lies and violence.

One of the nurse turned and came out her clothes covered in blood, Ziva's blood Gibbs thought to himself.

"The surgeons have managed to repair the damage caused by the knife wound. However it did pass through the major muscle group and she will have limited use of that leg for some time, though there is hope that she may be able to completely usage of it. It is still unknown while she is in this state." The nurse paused before continuing.

"There is also a high risk of infections, so we are leaving her in a clean room for several days, she's not to have any visitors. There is also so whiplash to her neck that she has sustained, but that hopefully she heal it on her own. At the moment she in an induced coma, for a few days to give her body a few days just to heal. She's not out of the clear yet, but hopefully she will have a complete recovery"

Gibbs let a sigh of relief, one that he didn't even know that he had been holding. He knew his agents and he knew them well. It was going to be a long road but he knew that she could make it.

McGee ended his phone call to Abby just as he reached Tony's room. It had been hard enough to find and Abby's screams of anxiety hadn't made it any easier. He had finally managed to get Abby off the phone though. Or more accurately he had sort of forced her to get off the line, insisting that he had to call Ducky. However cleverly he had already called Ducky knowing that it would be harder to tell Abbs. Telling her had made it seem like there was really something wrong. It made it more definite. The strangest part was that it was Ziva who was the most hurt. She, Tim had thought, would have been the safest. It made him wonder, if it was someone else on the team, would they have died?

Gibbs stood outside the door to Ziva's room. The walls made with glass, allowed visitors to see through to the clean room, however they had to remain outside. Her breathing seem shallow and thin, more forced than natural and although he knew that she couldn't feel pain due to the induced coma, there was a pained expression written on her face that made Gibbs uncomfortable. However he had other agents with a still unknown fate, so slowly Gibbs turned knowing that he should be with DiNozzo when he awoke.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

McGee had no more reasons for delaying, trying to breathe but failing, instead just having fast shallow breaths, he slowly opened the door and walked into Tony's room.

Tony lay on the hospital bed, seemingly sleeping, with an oxygen line running under his nose, and blood transfusions in his arm. He had clearly broken nose that had cause purple and yellow bruising across his nose, and his left eye. He looked worse for ware, but his breathing was unlaboured and he seemed that he would be fine. McGee pulled up the chair beside Tony's bed and sat there for a while, watching his colleague. McGee put his head in his hands, and took a deep breath. This was really too much for one day, both his friends in near death experiences.

Suddenly Gibbs walked into the room, closing the door silently behind him. McGee jumped up.

"Boss, how is she?!?!!"

"She's stable, she'll make it"

Gibbs' tone made McGee's whole body sagged in relief as if someone had just made every muscle release at once. Gibbs's tone was so certain about it that McGee had no reason to doubt him. So he allowed himself to sink down into the chair, beside Tony's bed.

Gibbs' eyes swept over Tony, calculating the damage to his senior field agent, watching the monitors that surrounded him, and finally his breathing. He seemed to be fine and Gibbs was relieved, he was glad that his mistake hadn't cost anyone's life, at least not yet. There was no way that any more members of his NCIS team was going anywhere, he promised himself that.

Gibbs sent McGee outside, insisting that he needed some fresh air, and, more helpfully, he could have done with a good cup of coffee, the young agents eyes were glazed with weariness and sleep deprivation. Gibbs took the seat that until recently had been occupied by McGee. Watching over his agent till he awoke, that was the plan anyway.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Abby ran as fast as possible, in her 3 inch platform black boots, through the hospital hallways, tears were running down her face, her vision blurred she ran towards the ward where she knew, that two of her team members, two of her friends were seriously injured, she didn't knew how serious their injuries were, McGee had barely hung up on her before she had raced out of the building and gotten here as fast as she could, she probably even picked up a few speeding tickets along the way. But that was hardly the point, because her closest friends were in danger, and there was no way that she, Abby was not going to be there for them.

She turned the corner and ran out of control, slipping on the newly polished hallway, black pigtails flying, she managed to twist her ankle. Luckily she remained upright she continued and didn't even slow, she would have to be shot before she even thought of herself over her friends. Taking the next corner slightly slower but still fast, she saw, through her haze of tears, a blurry outline of McGee, a loud sob broke from her lips before she could help it.

McGee turned as he heard Abby's sob, he knew her voice anywhere, seeing Abby in the state she was, running down the hospital corridor, with pigtails coming out, going everywhere, with mascara running down her pale cheeks, it nearly broke his heart. Not that he was particularly in love with her, but even though they had broken it off all that long time ago, it didn't mean that he had reserved a special place in his heart for her, and seeing her in this state, nearly tore it in two.

He dropped the coffee that he was holding and opened his arms wide to hug her and within seconds she had hit him running full pelt, her arms wrapped around his back, her head on his shoulders as she cried, her body racked by sobs that came from her. Her words were muddled and incomprehensible, McGee just held her close, comforting her.

She raised her head, staring into his eyes, searching. McGee held her glaze seeing her hurt, confusion and sense of loss, how he just wanted to comfort and be there for her, to make her happy. She opened her mouth to speak, but McGee raised his finger, pressed it to her lips, and she paused her eyes spoke of her surprise but she held her tongue. McGee slowly lifted his hand under her chin and slowly lifted her head, before slowly closing his eyes, and coming closer before slowly bringing his lips to hers for a brief instant. He withdrew, and he saw in her eyes, a question as well as a new calmness and a slight look of longing.

Her hysterics were no more, but McGee saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned dragging his eyes away from Abby. Coming out of DiNozzo's room stood Gibbs, and from the look on his face he had definitely just seen that kiss.
