Gibbs sat outside the hospital, he let the sun warm him as he looked at his insistant cellphone ringing. He picked up.
"Gibbs" he said.
"It's Pacci, any news about Tony?" Pacci asked.
"No, any news on your side?" Gibbs asked.
"Tony was right, it WAS a trap, building went kaboom when we sent the robot in" Pacci said and they wre quiet a little while. "Tony saved your life Gibbs, make sure he stays alive too will you?" Pacci asked.
"Will do" Gibbs replied and hung up. He sighed and looked at his cellphone. Tony had saved his life. Had he gone there, he would be in tiny pieces right now. Gibbs shouted in frustration and flung his cellphone into the cement wall. It shattered.
"Uh.. Boss?" McGee asked from behind Gibbs.
"WHAT!?!" Gibbs yelled in his face as he turned around.
"I just.. I wanted to ask you if.. if you wanted to talk.. but.. but I'll just go.. now" McGee stuttered. Gibbs sighed and put a hand over his face.
"Stay, McGee" Gibbs sighed, "I didn't mean to yell at you, I just feel.." Gibbs said and searched for the word. McGee came to his aid.
"Helpless? I know I am, I've never seen you act.. human.. so this is all kind of weird to me" McGee said, "But I know one thing, and that is, that humans need to talk to other humans when they're feeling bad" McGee said, "Or they'll throw their phones into a wall and make the Probie go get a new one" McGee said. Gibbs chuckled and looked at McGee. McGee gave him a coffee cup and they both sat down. "I know about your feelings for Tony" McGee said, "Kate showed me the subtle hints" McGee said when Gibbs glared at him, "Don't worry, I made her promise never to speak of it again" he said.
"Good work McGee" Gibbs said and sipped his coffee, "Anything you want to ask?" he asked.
"Well.. I... Abby said that Tony spoke before he.." McGee said.
"Right, yeah, he warned us about the trap" Gibbs said and looked into the air. "Anything else?" Gibbs asked.
"Do you love him?" McGee asked. Gibbs blinked. Then he smirked.
"Yeah" he said.
"Good" McGee said, "You think he'll be okay?" McGee asked.
"Yeah" Gibbs replied.
"Good" McGee said.
