I do not own NCIS or any of it's characters.
Gibbs had finally finished interrogating the suspect. What a son of a bitch. But that it over and done with, it was now time to go to Tony's apartment with him. He walked into the bull-pen to find no Tony.
"Where the hell is he!"
McGee was startled and didn't know what to say.
"Where is Tony!"
"He, uh..went to go get an icepack, boss. He,um fell back when he was sitting in your chair."
"And you let him go by himself!"
"Well, he has no keys and no weapon."
Gibbs walked over the his desk and reached his hand into his coat pocket, were his hand touched nothing but the wool of his coat.
"My keys and the letter are gone. McGee, Ziva, why the hell did you not go with him!"
"We thought that he would be all right," explained Ziva, "We didn't know that he had token the keys and letter. Should we run a BOLLO on your car?"
Gibbs nodded and went over to McGee's computer were he was typing frantically.
"I got it, boss..he's at a parking lot for Walmart."
"What's by it?"
"Um, a school, a staples, some houses, and...the North Flake Bridge."
Gibbs's heart sped up and he grabbed his coat and gone and was on his way to the elevator when he bumped into Abby.
"Sorry, Gibbs! Hey, did you see Tony, is he doing all right? There's just no way that Tony could kill himself, I won't let him. Where is he?"
Gibbs sighed, "Abby,"
"Oh, my god, what happened."
"Nothing yet but soon. Tony's at the North Flake Bridge, we think that he might jump."
Abby's eyes widened, "Well, go! Run like the wind," Abby was half sobbing and even Ziva who did not give into emotion felt her heart twist.
Gibbs ran into the elevator, followed by Ziva and McGee. Abby stayed at NCIS, because she knew that she was needed here. What if the car had moved or they needed information about something? Abby had to stay here. Why do they keep doing this to her? Can't they just stay safe? And now theres no bad guy to save Tony from. No, kidnapper, no murder, they would have to save Tony from himself.

Gibbs drived faster than he ever had before he didn't even notice this time how green McGee had become. All of Gibb's thoughts were on Tony. The man who was like a son to him. They arrived at Walmart and Gibbs ran to the car. Nobody was in it. He then went to the road and saw the bridge a couple yards away. Gibbs sprinted along the side walk on the bridge, until he came to a dark figure standing on the rail.
"Tony," said Gibbs softly.
Tony turned his head quickly and saw Gibbs. One of Tony's hands was grasped to one of the poles on the bridge and the other one was holding tightly onto the letter. He was slightly shaking and his hair was messy from the wind that was now starting to speed up.
"Tony,' said Gibbs again as Ziva and McGee watched horrified from a distance, afraid to come any closer for the fear that Tony would drop.
"Come down, Tony, this is not the answer to things."
Tony shook his head, "I don't know if I can, boss."
This was not a very high bridge at all it was a little one but the waters below were deadly. Freezing cold that grabbed your breath away, and large waves that held you down in the water. The fall wouldn't kill Tony, but a minute in that water would.
"Please, you can do it."
The wind was now really starting to pick up now, so much that Tony had to grasp on to the pole with both hands squishing the letter on the pole.
"She didn't deserve it, this."
"I know she didn't, but killing yourself won't make things right. Kate wouldn't want you to do this. Think of McGee, think of Ziva, think of Duck, Abby, and think of me. Will you grab my hand?"
Tony slowly reached his hand forward o Gibbs. The wind was now going crazy. Tony shuffled his feet a little bit to get more stable but it resultied in his slipping. Almost oin slow motion Gibbs could see Tony falling down into the water.
"Tony!"
Will Tony survive. Or will I be cruel and mean. Tune in next time to find out. I also want to thank everyone who reviewed and alerted my story.
