They looked worriedly at each other. Who was it? Was it an accident? If not who was it? Who would want to hurt him? Who could get access to his morphine pump?

"What's going on?" Abby asked.

"Relax Abbs; we don't know what's happening."

"It could have been an accident." McGee said though no one really thought so.

"If I've learned anything, it's to trust your gut." They smiled at Jimmy.

"Good thing to trust Jim." Gibbs nodded.

"I'll get prints." McGee said. Gibbs raised an eyebrow.

"Well, if anything we can yell at whoever messed up!" He said seriously. They smiled at him.

He used tape to get several prints of the IV tubing. Abby went with him to scan the prints. Tony and Ellie decided to stay for protection full time. McGee would come in and release one of them throughout the day. Jimmy, Brenna, Ducky, and Abby would visit at lunch. The two who were with him would help him walk with a hand on elbow and an arm around his waist. It was the next day after breakfast. Tony and Bishop had a hand on an elbow and one around his back. Gibbs was bracing his arm and ribs with his left arm. They helped him sit up. They move to the side as he turned and scooted to edge in between both of them. They helped control his descent with one arm around his ribs/arms and the other around his waist. They helped him stand as he swayed slightly. He'd had pain spikes throughout the night and breakfast. Gibbs had been wrapped in blankets because he was freezing.

"Do you want a robe instead of a shirt?" Ellie asked getting a nod. They helped him slide one arm in and closed the front tightly. Tony tied it for him around his waist.

"Okay ready?" Tony asked. He nodded.

Ellie handed him the pump, he grasped it tightly. Tony put a hand on his Right elbow and the other around his waist. Ducky hovered by the pump. The others walked behind him. They took small shaky steps. They walked out the door and a half football yard. They stopped as Gibbs slowed his steps. They waited for his nod and turned around. He leaned against the pump slightly. They walked into the room and approached the bed. They practically lifted him into the bed. He leaned into the pillows completely exhausted. He pressed the pump twice, falling asleep in seconds, they sighed at the agony induced exhaustion.

"He'll be okay." Tony said.

Two hours later McGee and Abby came in. They sat down as they all agreed to wait until Gibbs woke. He had horrible sleep that night. He would doze for a half hour to an hour and wake up. He'd stay awake for a few hours then doze back off. Now, he was completely out, mouth open snoring slightly. He didn't move when they came in. they watched t.v. for a few hours until they heard a groan.

"Hey boss." McGee said as Abby gently hugged and kissed his forehead.

"Hey." He said groggily. He sat the bed up some.

"How ya feelin', Gibbs?" Abby asks."

"Good, Morphine's still on a high dose."

"That's good." McGee said.

"You need it, after yesterday." Bishop said giving him a serious look.

"Yeah, yeah I know." He grumbled tiredly, getting chuckles.

"Speaking of yesterday we have results." McGee said.

"Results?" he said making them laugh as he instantly perked up. His eyes were shining in interest.

"Yes. I'm gonna be straight with you on this one. Because it's so important, well not more important than other cases. It's just well it's you Gibbs. Anyway, McGee got prints from the all of the nurses you've had, to make sure we had elimination prints. I checked through all the ID's that came back, ruling out the nurses. We got a name." she looked expectantly at him.

"Who is it Abby?" He said looking at her with fond exasperation.

"Henry Josh Connery. Also known as the man who caused your accident? I doubt he was texting like he told the cops. I, also doubt he's repentant as a he seemed to the cops." She said angrily.

"Easy Abbs." Gibbs smirked.

"I'm just worried Gibbs."

"I know Abbs, I know."

He replied scooting over on the bed, lifting an arm. She wasted no time climbing in the bed and laying her head over his heart. He hugged her with his good arm pushing her close to his body for her comfort. He kissed her head. Ellie took his hand again, squeezing. McGee and Tony put a hand on his shoulder, also squeezing. Ducky patted his elbow gently. While, Jimmy squeezed an ankle, as Brenna got up and kissed his cheek and sat down on Jimmy's lap, curling into him. Jimmy put his arms around her as they sat next to Ducky. They all reclined in their seats.

"I'll be fine." He reassured them all. They looked at his serious face and relaxed, knowing he was right. They watched t.v. together, even when Gibbs fell asleep. They stayed until after his lunch walk, leaving McGee and Ellie with him.
