"I'm her boss." Gibbs said.

"I'm his boss." Jenny topped him.
"I'm her partner." Tony added.

"I'm her best friend." Abby said, adding to the pile of NCIS employees, trying to out rank each other.

"Okay then." The doctor said, looking like he thought the people in front of him were crazy. "Well, Miss David is fine, it's just a graze. She has to stay over night for observation, but she should be out in the morning." He turned to go, "Oh, I almost forgot, Miss David is asking for a," The doctor looked at his notes, "a Jenny Shepard?" He looked at the group.

"That would be me doctor." Jenny said as she stepped forward, smirking slightly.

The rest of the group scowled.

"Would you please follow me Miss Shepard?" The doctor asked

"Of course doctor." Jen replied.

"I'm going to go get some Coffee." Gibbs said as Jen walked away.

Once Jenny was out of sight, Tony stood up.

"Where are you going Tony?" Abby asked.

"Stretching my legs."

"I'll follow him." McGee whispered, getting up and following Tony down the hall.

"Jen, please! I want to go home tonight, I need to go home tonight!"
"Ziva, I can take her, I'll keep her until you get out of hospital."

"No! Jen I need to go. Please!"

Jen sighed as she looked at her friend, determination was clear on the young Israeli's face.

"Fine, I'll talk to your doctor. If he says 'yes,' you don't come back into work until at least Tuesday. And then it's desk work for at least," She trailed off in thought, "well, when you get back, we'll talk about it then."

"Thanks Jen."

"You're welcome Ziva. I'm sure Sa…" She started to say something, but Ziva shushed her.

"What?" Jen asked, confused.

"There's a nosey Italian and a nosey but timid American out side with their ears pressed up against my door." She said smiling.

Jen smiled, rolled her eyes, walked over to the door and opened it.

Sure enough, Tony and McGee were crouched on the floor with their ears pressed up against where the door had been just moments ago.

"Hi Jenny." Tony said cheerfully. "McGee here dropped his contact lens and we were just looking for it." He said smiling and looking on the floor.

"Tony, I don't wear contact lenses. I have 20/20 vision." McGee said, a look of confusion on his face.

Tony slapped McGee on the back of the head. "Yes you do McFour-Eyes."

"I'll go talk to your doctor Ziva. Sit tight until then." Jen said.

"Where would I go?"

"How are you feeling?" Tony asked as soon as Jen had left the room.

"Like I took a 9mm bullet to my ribcage." She said, struggling to sit up.

Tony went to the right side of her bed and motioned for McGee to take the left side. Together the two NCIS agents managed to pull Ziva into a sitting position, despite her protests.

"Thanks." She said, defeated as they both helped her anyway.

"Yup." Tony said.

"So the doctors say that you can leave tomorrow morning." McGee said after an awkward moment of silence.

"Hopefully sooner than that," Ziva said, "The director is talking to my doctor."

As if on cue, Jen walked back into the room.

"Your doctor says that if you keep it easy and don't do anything strenuous, you can leave tonight. Special Agent DiNozzo, McGee, could you please excuse us? Officer David needs to get dressed."
