The man grinned, causing his mustache to curl up. "Very good, Agent Gibbs, I will let you go. You are to find your team, and tell them that it was Chris that abducted you."
Chris narrowed his eyes. "What if I don't want to be a part of your dumb plan anymore? What if I left right now?" He said, making the other man laugh.
"Oh Chris, you don't seem to understand," He said stepping forward. "I am not giving you a chance to run." And with that, he raised his gun and put one single bullet to Chris' head. Gibbs sat on the ground in shock. The man walked over to Gibbs and handed him the gun. "You will tell NCIS that you used this gun to shoot Chris for your own protection." He ordered. "Make this an open and shut case."
Gibbs took the gun with a slight hesitation. "Okay," He nodded.
"Good, stand up and get going." He said helping his prisoner to his feet. Gibbs stood up and only slightly swayed. "Here is a new shirt." The man said.
Gibbs threw the shirt on, wedged the gun in his pants, hesitantly glanced back to the man to make sure he was really free to go, and walked out the door. The temperature outside was much different than inside. It was cold. He could feel his body start to freeze almost instantaneously. He shook his head, telling himself to suck it up, and started his journey home.
"How much farther, McGee?" Tony asked, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.
In the passenger seat, McGee checked his phone again. "We should be pulling up to it in about one point five miles."
Tony sighed. "And you're sure that this is where Gibbs made the call?"
"Yes Tony, I'm sure." McGee turned his head to look out the window and saw a man limping down the road. "Tony, stop the car!" He screamed, making the senior field agent jump in his seat and slam on the breaks. "What's wrong?" Tony asked panicked.
"Gibbs!" McGee said before opening the car door and flying out. Tony looked in his direction and saw Gibbs struggling to walk down the road. He too jumped out of the car and ran to his boss.
"Gibbs!" He yelled causing the older man to look in his direction. Tony expected his boss to look happy and relieved to see him, but instead he looked like a mix between tired and depressed. He put his arm around Gibbs' back to offer him support. "Where are you hurt?" He asked.
Gibbs tried to manage a normal and steady toned voice. "Stab wounds and slashes over my legs and stomach."
Tony narrowed his eyes, worried that Gibbs could barely speak. "McGee call an ambulance," He ordered.
"Already did, Tony." McGee stated.
Tony nodded. "Who did this to you Gibbs?" He asked, shifting more of Gibbs' weight onto him.
Gibbs was quiet for a moment. He looked behind him and Tony to make sure no one was following them. He needed to tell Tony the truth. Immediately after that thought, the image of Tony's dead body covered in blood crept into his mind. "I shot him," He offered.
Tony released him arm from Gibbs' back to help him into the ambulance that had just pulled up. "You shot him? Is he dead?"
Gibbs sighed. "He's dead," He allowed the paramedics to strap him to the gurney. After Tony sat down next to him he said, "About a mile down the road there's a cabin. That's where he kept me. I shot him in self-defense. Gun is in the back of my pants."
Tony nodded and carefully removed the gun out from under Gibbs. "McGee," He yelled out the ambulance doors before they left for the hospital. "There's a cabin about a mile down the road. That's where this scumbag is. Gibbs killed him." He said giving the gun to McGee. He turned back to his Boss. "Was there any one else, Boss?"
Gibbs let out an exhausted sigh. "No, this guy was working alone. I'm sure of it."
"Well, then all we need to do is get the guy's name and we can close the case. McGee will do that. I'm going to call Ziva and tell her to meet us at the hospital."
When they arrived at the hospital, Gibbs was taken into surgery for the stab wound on his right leg. It was a minor surgery to repair the muscle tissue. His other wounds were not as serious so the doctors quickly stitched him up and let him rest.
Although Gibbs was knocked out for most of his hospital visit, Tony stayed with him the entire time.
Later that night the hospital released him with orders to come back in two weeks to get the stitches removed.
Tony drove him home and offered to stay the night, but of course Gibbs said no and that he could handle himself.
In the morning, Gibbs woke up and slowly got dressed, being careful of the stitches. He would be out of field work for a week at least, but he could still go in to work and do desk work.
When he walked out of the door with his coffee in his hand, he noticed a medium sized envelope on his front porch.
He sighed, picked up the letter, and went to his car.
After he was seated in the driver's seat, Gibbs opened the envelope to find a neatly written letter that said:
Hello Agent Gibbs. If you are reading this, then I must have taken pity on you and released you. But you know very well that your punishment is not over. At the cabin I informed you that you will be following one order each day. Today, to make sure that you are going to cooperate, I will give you something simple to do. You are to go into work today with NO coffee. Do not drink anything but water all day. And remember, I have eyes everywhere.
He closed the letter and sighed. "This is going to be a long day."
