I'm sorry that not a lot of people liked my previous chapter, hope you'll like this one!
Hetty's whistle made them all jump. It was very unusual of her to do this. The four of them looked at her with surprise and apprehension.
"There is an emergency in OPS now."
The team rushed upstairs following Hetty.
"So what's going Hetty?"
"You'll see in a few seconds. Mr. Beale please."
"Okay, one hour ago a black SUV began a wild chase around town causing a few car accidents. Their target was this car. They fired at them and the occupants fired back. But then the driver lost control and ended off the road."
They all looked at the video playing on the big screen. Tony was being dragged out the car and Ziva's lifeless body a few feet away.
"Is that Agent Dinozzo and Agent David?"
"Yes mister Callen."
Kensi put her hand on her mouth repressing a scream. All of them had shocked expression on their faces.
"Is….is she dead?"
"What happened to them?"
"That's what we are going to find. Special Agent Gibbs will be here in less than 4 hours and will want some answers. Mister Deeks and miss Blye will you please go to the Cedar Sinai, Agent David has been admitted there under the name of Andreya Gibbs. Misters Callen and Hannah I need you to go to the crime scene. Mister Beale we have to find where the kidnappers are, I need to put a BOLO on the SUV, and track him with the city's surveillance cams."
"What were they doing here? Why we didn't knew about their presence here?"
"We'll discuss this later Agent Callen…for now we need to find Special Agent Dinozzo and to take care of Agent David. Time is against us."
"Okay."
They all leaved the OPS.
"Miss Jones. I need you for a special mission."
Callen and Hannah arrived fast at the crime scene. There were already a lot of cops and paramedics on the site due to the huge mess that was caused.
"Why do you think they were here? Gibbs' team is very close to us, it's weird that we didn't knew about this op"
"Maybe it wasn't an op. Maybe the two of them had some problems with some bad guys."
"I doubt that… I think it's bigger than this. They don't come often in LA except when we need them, or for special mission."
They had arrived next to the car.
"It seems that Dinozzo has been shot, look there is blood and a hole, just here in the driver's seat. Callen are you listening to me?"
He wasn't listening to his partner; he was horrified to see all the blood that was in the car. It was always difficult when it was someone of their own. But here it was different for him; he was very close to Gibbs' team. Tony and Ziva had always been kind to him, and he considered them as his friends. And seeing the state the car was in, he feared for them.
"Callen, do you hear me?"
"Hum…yeah."
"There is nothing we can do here. There is nothing left. The crime scene unit had done their job. We should go back to OPS."
"Yeah…I need to talk to Hetty, let's go."
Kensi and Deems had arrived quickly at the hospital. She had been silent during the whole ride and he knew that was very unlike her. He knew why, Kensi and Ziva had been undercover together for a joint operation and since then they had been friends.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Andreya Gibbs, she was in her car accident one hour ago."
"I'm sorry but she's still in surgery."
"I just want to know how she is…"
"I was there when she arrived…all I can say is that…it was bad. I'm sorry. But you can wait for the doctor in the waiting room on the third floor."
"Thank you."
They took the elevator to the third floor, and they waited. They were surprised to see Nell arriving fifteen minutes later with a baby girl in her arms followed by a teenager.
"Nell! What are you doing here?"
"Who are they?"
"Hetty sent me here. This cute little girl sleeping in my arms is Katy… Tony and Ziva's daughter…"
"And I'm Marie, Andy's niece… kinda."
"Andy?"
"Andreya. Ziva's name undercover."
"Okay."
"Hetty asked me to bring you Katy, so Ziva could see her when she's awake."
Kensi's face saddened. Tears were forming in her eyes. She was looking at this little girl who was maybe already orphan by now. She needed to breathe, she whispered a sorry, and went away. Nell wanted to stop her, but Deeks touched her arm, and she understood.
"Let's give her some time. So… Mary, right? My name is Marty Deeks, and my partner who just left's name is Kensi Blye."
"Nice to meet you. Well, you know what I mean under the circumstances. Are you a friend of Auntie Andy…I mean Ziva and Uncle Tony."
"Yeah, we work together. Excuse Kensi, she doesn't have a lot of friends and Ziva is one of the closest."
"It's okay. I understand. I know what it feels like."
"I'm sorry to interrupt you both, but I have to go back to OPS."
"Okay."
Deeks took Katy in his arms softly, and Mary her bag.
"Thanks, call me if something happens."
And she left them.
Kensi knew she shouldn't have run like that. She had to walk until she found somewhere silent. She knew she had to pull herself together but she needed some time. Ziva, even if they where miles away, was there when she needed to talk. She had to face the truth, maybe her friend we die today. She shouldn't have reacted like that. She decided she would take 10 min to think and then she shall come back in the waiting room.
Deeks always had the touch with kids. It wasn't afraid to ask have Katy in his arms, but he was concerned about his partner. Kensi had never been the sensitive kind. He was looking at the legal girl, and thought about what Tony and Ziva had been through. It is always difficult when you are in love with your partner. He sure knew. He had been in love with Kensi for a long time now. But with their work, it was impossible. He had always wanted the family scheme, married with kids, happy. But their line of duty was way too dangerous. And witnessing what happened today was comforting him in the idea.
"So, where are your parents?"
"My dad died last year, he was working with Tony as a policeman. Now there is only the three of us. Mom, Brad and me."
"And where is she now?"
"At your boat shed, she is been interrogated by some of your colleagues about what happened today."
"You were there?"
"We were following them, when people in a black SUV began to shoot at them. And you know the rest."
She finally decided to return to his partner after a few moments. She had taken the time to think about the situation. When she arrived, she was surprised to see her partner with a baby in his arms. The girl, who had accompanied Nell, was sitting by his side. Katy was still asleep. She walked slowly without making too much noise.
«Sorry I ran like that. »
"It doesn't matter. I know you needed time. I present you Mary; she is so to speak the niece of Tony and Ziva. "
«Hi. »
«Hi, my name is Kensi. »
"Yes, Deeks explained the situation. »
"She was just telling me what happened this morning ..."
"Yes, we saw everything. I was not even aware of the true nature of Tony and Ziva at this time. To me, they are my uncle and Aunt Ethan and Andy. "
"I'm sorry you had to endure that ... But you know Ziva is a fighter. I'm sure everything will go well and we'll find Tony unharmed. "
«I hope so too. »
"So, this little darling is called Katy, isn't she? »
«Yes that's right, and she will soon be two years old. »
Marie continued to talk about their lives over the past two years. The arrival of Ethan and Andreya, their marriage , the death of his father , the arrival of Katy and her understanding about what happened this morning. Katy was recently awakened when the doctor who took care of her mother came to them. In the expression of his face, Kensi and Deeks had realized that something was wrong.
«Are you the family of Mrs. Gibbs? »
"Yes. Tell us doctor. Is she okay? "
«When she arrived, she suffered from several external and internal injuries, more or less important. Following the accident, she was ejected through the windshield that was already in pieces before impact. She had already lost a lot of blood. She was led to the OR directly. We were able to stop the internal bleeding and suturing her multiple external injuries, she has several broken ribs and a broken leg and wrist. Unfortunately due to the important head injury, there was nothing we could have done. .. She is in a coma. I'm sorry. "
«In a coma? Is there a chance she can come back? "
"I must admit that when she arrived here, we did not give her many chances, but she and her baby survived the operation and it is a miracle in itself. »
"She's pregnant? »
"Yes, about three months. For now we have to wait, she remains in critical condition though. The next 48 hours will be decisive. I have to go take care of other patients but do not hesitate to beep me if needed. "
"Thank you doctor. »
He went away leaving them think about what he had said. Mary was devastated, crying, she took refuge in Kensi's arms who was surprised of this sudden embrace. Kensi was also scared but tried not to show it.
«Do not worry Mary; I 'm sure everything will be fine. Ziva and her baby will be fine. "
«Kens is right, I'm going to call Hetty to inform her. »
As for the boys, they had just arrived at the headquarters. Callen directly went to Hetty's bureau but was surprised to find Nell.
«Nell? Where is Hetty? I need to talk to her and it is rather urgent. "
"I'm sorry Callen, but you'll have to wait, Hetty went to the airport for Special Agent Gibbs. »
The plane had landed on the tarmac, Hetty was anxious but mostly saddened by not being able to keep the promise she had made to her longtime friend. In a few moments he will be there and she will have to explain that those he considers his children are in danger. A few minutes later, he walked towards her. On his face, she could see the fatigue and the anxiety.
«Hetty. »
«Jethro. »
"Where are they? »
"You will know soon. »
