Chapter 5
'I can't just sit here and wait', Ziva said impatiently.
'What do you wanna do?', McGee looked up from his computer.
She stood up and put on her jacket. 'I'm gonna visit Tony', she explained.
'The streets are overcrowded', McGee reminded him but walked after her.
'Hey, where you going?', Gibbs asked. He just came in.
'Trying to visit Tony', McGee explained and Gibbs ran after them to catch the elevator.
They parked the car five hundred meters away from the hospital. They had to walk a long time and they did it quietly.
'What do you think, how can we find him?', McGee suddenly broke the silence. The street looked like after World War III.
'Don't know', Gibbs said. They were about hundred meters away from the hospital standing on the other side of the street having a perfect view on the hospital area, when it happened.
One big 'Bam', one big noise and they all looked up and down the street.
The fire ball was high, but not really big. It was a bright yellow explosion directly followed by black smoke spreading out over the area up in the sky. The detonation went off in the direct centre of the building and McGee, Ziva and Gibbs breathed caught. It was very loud and many people covered their ears for protection and turned around. McGee, Ziva and Gibbs just stood there.
A second explosion followed, directly after three smaller ones. The whole hospital building stood in flames after just three seconds. It was a light, yellow-orange-red fireball and the black smoke drove away quickly northward because of the fast wind.
People ran out of the building, injured people, patients tried to flee the flames. You heard a big hollow noise when the west-wing of the building collapsed. The wall fell down on the whole site and you could already predict the breakdown of the mid-part and with it the whole building.
The hospital was collapsing.
The three special agents didn't think but ran toward the burning building which was burying men and women, doctors, visitors and patients under its debris. 'Oh my god, Tony', Ziva just murmured which made her run faster. McGee was nearly as fast as Gibbs, which was really astonishing if you consider how much he had weight before his diet. Now he really was thin. Nearly too thin.
Something exploded again and Ziva held her hands in front of her face. She looked at the burning ruins. People were running, people were falling, people were burning, people were dying. Ziva wanted to continue running but she was held back by Gibbs. 'You can't go in there', he screamed. 'Tony! But Tony is in there', Ziva cried and tried to tear herself off.
She felt tears of anger running down her face.
Who blasted a hospital when it was so overcrowded? It must have obviously been the same people who had planned and performed the attacks on the museum and the attempt of destroying the White House. Of course, Ziva didn't know that this organization had never planned to harm anybody in the White House.
The three agents stood very close to the burning wreckage. They ignored the people beside them, shouting and screaming, yelling in anger, in pain and in fear. Thousands of people have been cared in the biggest hospital of Washington right after the attack.
Hundreds of people already have died yesterday in the plane attacks. It was not the same death amount as at WTC-attack but it remembered the people they were not safe. That would conclude in panic.
'Tony…has been in there', McGee tried to breath but he couldn't.
'Oh my god', Ziva muttered.
She had really, really liked him, more than that.
They had tried to establish a more or less more close relationship after they had nearly kissed in hospital. Now Tony died in a hospital. Ziva thought that she had loved him, perhaps she really did. And now he was gone, by such an evil attack nobody could predict. Agents died in their duty, while tracking down villains. But he had died by a terroristic attack. Ziva couldn't believe it. If he had died in a battle, Ziva could have punished the murders and taken revenge. But now, it was hopeless. It seemed as if the real villains were unreachable now.
Ziva felt anger coming upwards in her. It got hotter around her. She saw all these people suffering. She saw a half-charred body lying twenty meters in front of her. Tony looked like that now, too. Of he was just torn in piecemeal by the detonation, nothing left of him. Ziva just couldn't believe it. She could bear her feelings. She looked around.
And she saw nothing.
Just dark. It all went dark around her.
She hit the ground. 'Ziva, Ziva!', McGee screamed and kneed beside her.
But Ziva has fallen unconscious.
I know, this hasn't been my best chapter and I promise that the next will be better. ;)
