As he pressed against the crowd to get to Izzy first, a shot rang out...
All McGee could see was Izzy silently mouth something, it looked like"oh,shit"
Next thing he knew Izzy had crumbled to the stage and was bleeding.
Now shooting someone at a gun convention has to be the stupidest thing to do because in a matter of seconds,the guy who shot her, a Mr. Coolite, was on his knees with nearly 25 registered pistols pointed at his head, not to bright.
Under other circumstanses, McGee would have been the first to take the time to take a picture of the innocent looking grandmother who was pointing a Glock a little below the belt of poor it was McGee was racing for the stage.
When he got there, Izzy was holding her arm laughing,really laughing.
If it wasn't for the tears streaming down her face and the blood pooling under her,
McGee would have thought it was just a practical joke.
Gibbs was going to kill him.
"Izzy,"Gibbs rushed through the Hospital doors nearly killing a nurse in the process.
"She's in Surgery right now, boss I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have taken her out of HQ" McGee said hanging his head.
"Ya think McGee, if she dies your next." McGee had never seen this kind of rage in Gibbs.
"I'm going for coffee, if anything, and I mean anything changes let me know, even if she goes to the bathroom, tell me."Gibbs marched off.
The nurse he nearly ran over stood there glaring as he went.
Gibbs didn't go for coffee instead he went home.
Izzy would have smacked him for chewing out McGee like that.
He just wanted to distract himself.
He need to use his hands, to work on his boat.
He named them after ex-wives, Izzy never liked them, she was a better judge of character.
She was so much like her mother.
It was so hard to deal with Aideen's death. True to her name she was a little fire.
Gibbs loved her so much and when he found out she was pregnant,
he thought his heart would burst, but when she left, he was crushed.
He took refuge in her sister Shannon, when Aideen didn't return Gibbs married Shannon and had a beautiful little girl.
One day out of the blue, a drunk showed up on his doorstep with a 3 year old, saying she was Aideen's daughter and she had died.
Being the agent he was he had her blood checked, she was Aideens. That was the best day of his life it was like Aideen was back.
But Izzy wasn't Aideen she was a memory of a mistake he made of not going after her mother.
A memory of not trying.
Suddenly Rascal Flatts filled the room, Izzy had changed his ringtone again.
Gibbs barely got to his phone in time.
"Gibbs, here"
"Boss you should get here as soon as you can, its Izzy."McGee's voice was shaking again.
