CHAPTER 4: FINDING TONY...

ANOTHER ABANDONED BUILDING...

This time a little more careful Gibbs, McGee, and Ziva entered the abandon building. When they entered, they found nothing.

They began the search of the warehouse when...

"Call an ambulance!" Gibbs yelled and McGee pulled out his phone and called, at the same time he and Ziva went to find out why.

When McGee and Ziva entered the room...

"Tony," Ziva yelled running to his side and dropping to her knees. "There's barely a pulse. Where's damn Ambulance?" Gibbs demanded. "Come on, Tony! Stay with us!" Ziva said as the sirens got closer and McGee went out to show them where Tony was.

Soon Tony was in the ambulance and headed for the hospital. While Gibbs, McGee and Ziva drove behind them.

THE HOSPITAL…

"I'm going to call, Abby." McGee said pulling out his cell phone as Ziva and Gibbs headed inside.

ABBY'S LAB...

"Abby." Abby said picking up the phone. "Abby, it's..." McGee began. "Tim, is everyone okay?" Abby asked. "We found Tony and he is in the hospital." McGee explained. "I'll be there as soon as I can." Abby said and hung up the phone.

THE HOSPITAL...

TWENTY MINUTES LATER…

McGee waited outside the hospital and Abby came running when she saw him.

"Where is he? Is he all right?" Abby asked.

"Abby, calm down, they had to take him to surgery to relieve some pressure to his brain. He had bad bump on the head. He's also gone two and a half days without food and water." McGee said as they walked into the hospital and headed to the surgical waiting room.

When they got there, Gibbs sat beside Ziva. McGee and Abby noticed she was crying.

"What's going on? Have they told you anything?" McGee asked. "No, McGee, we're still waiting." Gibbs told him.

A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER...

"Family of Anthony DiNozzo," Said a doctor entering the room and they all stood up.

"That's us." Gibbs told the doctor. "How is he?" Ziva asked. "We lost him a couple of times on the operating table, and he is in a coma." The doctor said.

"When can we see him?" Ziva inquired. "I would say tomorrow morning when he is moved into his own room." The doctor replied.

"You're sure that he will be okay?" Abby asked. "Yes, he should make a full recovery." The doctor told them and left the room.

After the doctor left, Gibbs hugged Ziva, as Tim hugged Abby.

"I told you that we would bring Tony home alive." Tim told Abby his good arm still around her, her arms still around him and her head on his good shoulder.

Ziva sat down and Gibbs sat down beside her watching Abby and McGee.

'Rule 12 is going to be broken.' Gibbs thought to himself.

That night Abby fell asleep with her head on McGee's shoulder, Ziva in one chair and Gibbs in another. One by one, they woke the next morning as the sun was starting to come up. With groans from sitting in chairs sleeping all night…they all walked to the Nurses station.

"Can I help you?" One of the nurses questioned. "We want to see Tony DiNozzo." Gibbs told her. "He's not in a room yet, you'll..." She began. "We've been here all night and we would like to see Agent DiNozzo." Gibbs repeated.

"All right, this way." The nurse said after thinking for a second.

She led them down the hall and into a room. When they walked in Tony was hooked up to a few machines. At first, he did not look like the Tony DiNozzo they knew, Ziva was the first one by his side and took his hand in hers.

"Tony, you have to wake up." Ziva said as she fought tears.

Gibbs and Ziva stood on his right, Abby who was arm in arm with McGee stood on his left.
