Chapter 8
Tony's heart deflated. A forceful ripple of fury pumped his blood with adrenaline, His headache momentarily absent.
'Get her in the bus?' A masculine hand shoved Tony out the way. As if that wasn't enough Gibbs was just standing there. Watching Kate die before him.
'She's in VF.' The smallest EMT told his partner as if it were a daily occurrence.
'Get the Defib.' Tony had watched enough medical movies to know what that was and that the survival rate outside of a hospital was between 2 and 25.
'I can't watch this.' He turned his head. The fire blazed in his eyes. His own heart was thumping against his rib cage as he struggled to regain control over his breathing. He could hear the electric shocks and the jolting of the gurney as Kate's body jerked. Flashes of clear and charging were the only words to enter his pounding skull. He shook his head over and over. Maybe if his head was hurting more than his heart. He could do something about it. But all things were seemingly useless to the deep pit in his chest. He felt an eternity soar before him before he heard the two words he wanted to hear more than life itself.
'She's back.' He turned to see McGee facing him. Gibbs leant against him, there backs turned away from what was happening.
'There are two more buses on the way. They'll take care of you.' Tony barely registered the EMT speaking to him. All he could see was the doors closing on his heart and the sirens commencing.
Please let them survive the journey. I'll stop using women as toys, just please, please, let her get there alive. All he needed was to be kneeling with his hands clasped together and he'd be in full on prayer mode. But all he could do was crumple to the ground and hold his head in his hands one phrase continuously repeating like a broken record in his mind.

The sirens had summoned themselves a crowd. Gibbs was laying on the gurney his leg out before him felling utterly hopeless. He'd just seen one of his agents, heck one of his friends flat line and he'd just stood there gawping like the moron he was. A less than gentle hand was splinting his leg. He didn't care about the pain. He'd felt worse. Much worse and now all he wanted was to get to the hospital, shout at some doctors and be beside Kate. Where he belonged. Where they all belonged. Two gurneys to his left an edgy McGee sat his arm bandaged and his head plastered his feet swinging through the air. He caught Gibbs eyes and felt afraid. He saw fear in those eyes. Those eyes normally unreadable to him. Yes. Special Agent Timothy McGee was scared for them all. For if Gibbs was showing emotion. The apocalypse had come. That, he was sure of.

The ER doors crashed against the walls as an army of doctors and nurses stampeded through the ER and into Trauma 1.
'32 year old female. Shrapnel injuries, Was in VF upon arrival, multiple lacerations, severe head injuries, possible fractured sternum, punctured lung and multiple rib fractures.' The EMT continued to rattle of stats as they turned the gurney.
'Alright. This one needs all the help we can give her.'

Tony lay in the back of the ambulance his head wrapped up and his thoughts wrapped up even further. Beside him McGee sat his head bowed, clutching his arm wincing as the ambulance jolts from side to side.
'ETA 2 minutes.' Tony winced as the man shouted. Every sound screamed through his ears and further aggravated his already aching head. And sure enough seconds later Tony was staring at a nurse. Who was beautiful by most men's standards. But today he couldn't care less. He allowed himself to be poked and prodded all the way to the exam room. He offered no resistance as the IV was hooked up to his arm. He was dead inside; no medical test could show that.
'Mr. DiNozzo.' Tony looked up his eyes dull. A woman in a long white coat looked at him closely.
'Yes, ma'am.'
'You have a severe concussion; we'll have to keep you in overnight for observation.' Tony nodded then wished he hadn't it seemed his pain meds were yet to kick in.
'I wasn't planning to leave.'
'Excuse me sir?'
'Forget it. Can you tell me about a patient? She's a friend of mine. Special Agent Kate Todd. Was bought in just before me and the other two guys.
'Sir, I'm afraid I can't disclose that information to anyone other than next of kin.
'I'm her emergency contact.' Tony's voice rose slightly.
'Oh. I'm one of the interns on her case then sir…' She paused.
'And…' Tony prompted with a slight wave of the hand.
'She's just gone into surgery. There not sure she's going to survive the surgery. Let alone the night. I'm sorry.'
