Gibbs had a few nightmares that night, he hadn't in four days. he had been there a total of nine days. he was getting better, while still weak he was recovering relatively fast. They ended when Tony and Ducky spoke or touched his arm. He would realize there presence in his sleep and relax and would go back into a deep sleep. The dreams were about the crash. They would fall over the guardrail or one of the team would be unconscious. Just like the one he was having. This one was definitely the worst yet.

He looked over and then back. McGee wasn't stirring. He, Tony, and Ellie shared a concerned look.

"You okay Bish?" he heard tony ask.

"Yeah."

"What about Tim?" Gibbs asked. They couldn't wake her up.

"McGee, get up." Gibbs tried to bark out.

"Bishop, check his breathing." He told her.

"He is and his heart beat is weak."

"McGee"

"McGee" He started saying his name out loud each time he said it.

"McGee, wake up."

Tony and Ducky shared a concerned look. They stood up, as he continued to mumble McGee's name.

"It's a bad one Ducky." He said. Duck nodded.

Tony went to shake him awake but before he could touch him he jumped awake. He almost sat up but Tony was fast enough to hold him back. He looked around wildly and calmed when he remembered. They placed a hand on his shoulder and forearm. His panting was labored. He was basically gasping. His eyes were squeezed shut. Tony silently handed him the pump closing his other hand around his; half in support and half because he thought the pain kept him from squeezing it. He was shaking, sweating, and groaning.

"Boss…boss?" they shared another look when he opened his eyes and couldn't focus.

"Gibbs,." Tony squeezed his hand.

"Jethro, squeeze Anthony's hand." Tony nodded when he got a faint squeeze. Gibbs eyes squeezed shut again, as a wave of pain hit and he shook even more violently.

"Come on boss focus on me." Tony said. Gibbs grunted and cracked his eyes open again. He looked at him.

"How many?" he looked confused. "Presses, you're on a relatively small dose." he clarified.

"f…fi-ive," he gasped out but Tony understood and helped him press it. Gibbs relaxed into his pillows.

He groggily blinked his eyes a few times. They waited for his eyes to focus before talking to him again.

"You alright, boss?" Tony asked. He nodded relaxing completely and groggily blinked his eyes until they refused to open.

"Sleep, Jethro."

"We have your six."

"Never failed to…Nozzo…not in over…a decade." He almost fell asleep talking but Tony grinned nonetheless. They sat down, as he fell back asleep in seconds.
