Chapter 8: Narrative Perspective:
The next couple of weeks flew by, and the father and daughter got to know each other better and better, of course there were the occasional quarrels but their bond grew stronger and stronger, until one event happened which nearly ended their bond for ever…
"DiNozzo tail him, we can't let him get away this time!" Gibb orders.
"On it Boss." Tony replies and leaves the building
"McGee, track his cell, and Ziva put out a BOLO!"
"On it Boss." They chorus.
A little while later…
"DiNozzo, have you got the target in sight?"
"Yes Boss, I'm a couple of cars behind him; okay make that one car behind him." Tony says as a car pulls into the next lane.
"Ok, DiNozzo, don't get too close."
"Don't worry Boss, I've done this before."
Suddenly the car in front of Tony buckles and skids, he knows that there is nothing he can do…it's too late. The car comes crashing on him like thunder, and suddenly he is filled with immense pain, but that was not the end of his torture. No that would be too easy. He hears the sound of tyres screaming as they battle to go on, they win and lead their driver into peril. With a SMASH there is another thunderous impact on Tony's car, stealing the happiness of the last few weeks from his eyes.
"Tony! Tony are you there?" Gibbs yells after hearing the crash through the phone. But he got no response.
"Boss what's happened?" asks McGee
"There's been an accident." Gibbs replies and Ziva turns white as a sheet.
"I'll check all the hospitals to find out where he's being taken." McGee says.
They all were praying that Tony was alive.
"Where was the accident?" Ziva asks
"12th Street, travelling west." Gibbs replies with sadness in his eyes. The team had never seen Gibbs like this before, and they knew then how bad the accident was.
"I'm going how about you?" Ziva asks Gibbs, who nods a reply.
"McGee inform everyone of what has happened." Gibbs says and then leaves with Ziva.
A short while later: St. Petersons Middle school: Becky's perspective:
"Miss Green, I'm sorry to bother you but can Rebecca DiNozzo please come with me?" asks Mrs. Morris. Miss Green nods a reply. I feel my heart drop; I know immediately that something's happened to Dad.
"How bad is it?" I ask when I see Jenifer
"Not good sweetheart, not good at all." Jenifer replies and pulls me into a hug.
"What happened?"
"A car crash." She replies trying not to go into description. My heart drops further as she says this; car crashes are always serious.
"Are we going to see him?" I ask and Jenifer nods.
12th Street: Narrative perspective:
"Oh, my god!" Ziva says when she sees the mangled cars on top of each other. Gibbs stays silent, too shocked for words.
The cars had collided in various positions, and the end results left the cars twisted metal, and shard of glass which used to be windshields cover the ground.
"Gibbs!" Ziva cries
"What?"
"T-Tony" she stutters as she points to a bloodied body being taken towards an ambulance.
"Sir, you can't go in there." A police officer says to Gibbs. Gibbs flashes the man his badge and they are let through.
"What's NCIS got to do with this?" The man asks, but Gibbs just ignores him and walks towards the ambulance.
"Tony" says Ziva as she tries to hold back tears. It broke her heart to see the man she loved so broken, and she could do nothing to help him.
"Are any of you accompanying him to the hospital?" asks a paramedic.
"Go with him Ziva." Gibbs says as they load Tony into the ambulance.
"Thank you." She replies and climbs in.
Bethesda hospital:
"They're just bringing him out of emergency surgery, and supposedly we can visit him in about half an hour." Ziva informs everyone.
"So he's going to be okay right?" Abby asks removing her head from McGee's shoulder.
"Hopefully." Replies Ducky
"Not hopefully Ducky, I haven't given him permission to die." Gibbs says
"I know Boss, but did you see the cars, it was a mess." Ziva says and sits down next to Gibbs, and he starts to comforts her, knowing that she is feeling worse than everyone.
"Tony's strong, he will pull through." Gibbs whispers into Ziva's ear.
"I know Gibbs, but I can't help but worry." Ziva replies
"He'll pull through trust me."
A short while later…
"Family and friends of Anthony DiNozzo?" asks a nurse
"Yes that's us." Ziva says and stands up.
"The surgery has gone well, and we are currently waiting for him to regain consciousness before we can be certain of the full extent of his injuries."
"Can we see him?" asks Abby
"Of course, follow me." The nurse replies and leads them to Tony's room, which is number 203.
"Tony." Abby cries when she sets eyes on the bandaged figure.
"Shh, Abby it's ok." McGee says pulling her into a hug, and leading her out the room to comfort her.
"Oh, Anthony my dear boy, what have you gotten yourself into now?" Ducky sighs and squeezes the Senior Field Agents hand which is probably the only think which is not injured, and then leaves the room with Palmer to give Ziva and Gibbs some space.
"Ziva are you alright?" Gibbs asks noticing her tears.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replies trying to quickly wipe her tears away.
"You love him, don't you?" Gibbs asks softly
"What!" Ziva says completely stunned.
"If I'm not mistaken, and I never am, you are in love with DiNozzo." Gibbs says, but Ziva keeps quiet.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Only to me." He replies
"Why is that?"
"Only people who have experienced true love can see it easily, especially when people try to hide it." Gibbs sighs.
"I don't know what to do; I don't think he loves me back." She says as tears fall down her cheeks.
"Are you sure about that?" Gibbs asks.
"Of course why would he love me?"
"Because he knows you Ziva, that's why." Gibbs replies and gives her a hug. "Tell him, and give him a chance."
"But what about rule number 12#?"
"Rules are made to be broken Ziva, I thought you knew that." Gibbs chuckles softly.
Becky's perspective:
"He's in room number 203." A nurse informs them.
"Thank you." Jenifer replies and leads me towards an elevator, and presses the button number 3.
"Jen, is he going to be alright?" I ask as tears run down my face
"I don't know sweety, but you know your Dad, he's a tought as old boots." We take the rest of the elevator ride in silence, contemplating everything that has happened. When the doors open I find myself in an area full of people. As I look at the strangest person of them all; a Goth wearing a spiked dog collar, and massive platform shoes, who is crying on her friends shoulder, I realise that these people are my Dad's co-workers the ones he calls family. The girl, I think her name is Abby, notices me staring and gives me a weak smile which I return.
"Come on Becky, let's go and see your Dad." Jenifer says as she leads me towards room 203. Abby watches us walk away and her eyebrows raise dramatically when we walk into Tony's room, I glance back at her to see that she is nudging her friend, who must be McGee and frantically whispering to him. Which is probably something on the lines of; "Tony's got a kid! Tony's got a KID!"
"D-ad" I say as I enter the room and tears streaming from my eyes.
The more reviews I get the faster I write! =) Trust me it's true!
Sorry for the cliff-hanger by the way!
