Okay, so I kinda love this chapter and it's definitely my favorite so far. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! I really appreciate the feedback!
On with the show….
Beep. Beep.
Her eyes fluttered open to a man with silver hair watching over her, like the Alpha wolf guards his pups.
"Welcome back Ziver." Gibbs voice was warm contrasting greatly with his blue eyes. He almost smiled.
Ziva opened her mouth to speak, but her bone-dry lips would not allow sound to escape.
"Here." He put down his large Starbucks coffee and held a glass of water to her lips, in which she eagerly accepted. The cool water trickled down her throat causing immediate relief.
"Thank you Gibbs." The woman's voice was still raspy, but at least words were working.
"How are you feeling?" the older man gently placed a rough hand on her thin forearm.
How was she feeling? Ziva considered the question.
Her head hurt like a bitch, she was confused, and the world was moving in slow motion. Feel great. She lifted her I.V.-pierced hand to the source of the pain only to find a helmet of bandages wrapped neatly around her head.
"Don't touch." He spoke to her like Ziva was his hurt, little daughter… but then again… maybe in a way she was. Gibbs guided her hand away from the covered wound.
"What happened?"
"You don't remember?" Worried ice eyes met brown ones.
Ziva bit her lip as she searched the depths of her mind.
Snakes?... Guns… Tony…
"Tony!" her body bolted upright. The world spinning before her, she fell back unto her pillow.
"Is he okay?" Her eyes were wide as she spoke with a stern, demanding tone.
"Will be. He took a bullet to the shoulder, but yeah. He's okay."
Ziva let out a small sigh of relief.
"Good. That is Good." She closed her eyes.
Ziva didn't notice the doctors who came to check up on her, pulling this and pricking that, or the nurse who came and battled with the Alpha wolf because visiting hours were long over. Her partner was okay… she was okay… she could sleep.
Review and let me know if you like it! Next chapter will be up by the begining of next week. Peace people.
