Chp.4

While Ziva and McGee were interrogating the two men, Abby looked through the evidence.

She just couldn't find anything useful. She jumped slightly at the hiss of the doors. McGee came in.

"Can you believe it? They saw Gibbs at some crime scene and then had the great idea and kidnapped him. Just for fun! They got him when he came home from work last night. Said his hands where full and it wasn't that hard to get him. They also said they didn't want to shoot him. They played with the gun and a shot fell. That's how Gibbs got his shoulder injury."

"They're not only bastards. They are dumb bastards."

McGee nodded. "Abby, they said they let Gibbs make a call last night. But the guy Gibbs called hung up again." Abby nodded and McGee continued. "Gibbs called Tony."

"No! Tony would never hang up on Gibbs. No way!"

"I know, Abbs. But you got to check it."

Abby nodded. "What time did they say Gibbs made the call?"

"Around 2 am."

"Okay, I'm checking it now." Abby gasped. "No… oh my god. Tony hung up on Gibbs!"

"Okay… Let's drive to the hospital and talk to Tony."

Back in Gibbs' hospital room Tony woke up. He stretched and sat up. Gibbs still was unconscious. Suddenly the door went open and a very angry looking Abby stumped in closely followed by McGee.

"You bastard!" She yelled and hit Tony's arm repeatedly.

"What?! Abby! What's going on?!"

"It's all your fault!" Tears were running down her cheeks while she continued to hit Tony.

"What's my fault?"

"That Gibbs is in here!" She exclaimed and Tony looked perplexed. "He called you! He called you while he was down there! He needed you and you let him down! It's your fault he's in here! You hung up on him and now he's shot!"

Tony stared for a few seconds. "What's going on, McGee?"

"She's right. Gibbs called you around 2 am and you hung up on him. If you'd just listen to him he wouldn't be in here!" McGee said with rising anger.

"Get out! I don't want to see you near him! GET OUT!" Abby screamed.

Tony stood up and slowly made his way out of the room.

"And don't bother coming here again!"

Tony sat down in the waiting room. ‚Is it my fault? I hung up on Gibbs while he needed me. Oh my god! It's my fault he nearly died. Oh god…' Tony buried his face in his hands and began to sob quietly.

Abby's words hurt Tony deeply. But she was right it's his fault Gibbs is lying in the hospital. With those thought Tony fell asleep in the waiting room.

Abby and McGee stayed the night at Gibbs' bedside. Abby didn't even think about letting Gibbs alone and McGee didn't want to leave Abby alone.

A nurse came in to check Gibbs' vitals. Everything looked normal Gibbs just had to wake up.

At around 11 am Ducky and Ziva came to visit Gibbs. They we're chatting slightly while waiting for Gibbs to wake up.

"… and that's how I got to NCIS." Ducky said, ending his long, long, long story.

A groan came.

"Gibbs! Gibbs you're awake!" Abby exclaimed grinning from ear to ear.

Gibbs slowly opened his eyes and had to smile at the face of the goth.

"How are you doing, Jethro?" Ducky asked.

"I'm good." Gibbs said his voice rough.

Abby squealed and hugged Gibbs who laughed a bit.

"I heard you're awake?" They all turned towards the door where Tony stood.
