Ducky's words snapped everybody to attention. Gibbs and Amy stopped talking, McGee put down his book, Bishop dropped the chip she had just picked up back into the bag, Abby reached for the cross on her necklace and held it in a tight grip, and Tony turned his attention away from the ancient rerun of The Andy Griffith Show that was playing on one of the oldies channels.

"How is he Duck?" Gibbs asked

"He's critical but stable. He broke seven ribs, has a punctured lung, he broke his right hip and injured his left knee. His right hand is crushed and he has severe road rash on the right side. He ruptured his spleen but it was removed, there was other internal bleeding but they were able to stop it. The most concerning of his injuries however is the swelling in his brain. They were able to bring it down some and they put a shunt in that will hopefully go down but it is significant. As of right now he is in a medically induced coma." Ducky explained.

"Oh no! Poor Jimmy is he going to have brain damage?" Abby asked.

"That I cannot answer until he wakes up." Ducky replied.

"Ducky I am so sorry. I tried to stop. I really did. I wasn't speeding or anything. He was just going so fast. I didn't even see him until it was almost too late." Amy sobbed.

"I cannot fault you, Amelia. It was Mr. Palmer who ran in front of your car. I am just relieved that you were not going fast and that you not only stopped and called 911 but came and waited at the hospital with us." Ducky replied.

"I just wanted to make sure he was OK." Amy replied.

"Well now that you know he is OK. I would like you to go home and get a little rest." Ducky replied.

"Of course but McGee drove me and I don't want to keep him from his girlfriend any longer. I am sure she is fine alone but times like this you should be with loved ones not driving a stranger home. Bishop you should get home to your husband as well." Amy explained.

"You're right." McGee replied.

"I should get going too." Bishop added.

"Abby I am sure you are bursting to see Jimmy. So you need to be here for when they let people in and Boss you need to offer moral support for Ducky and Abby. I need to get Jack home and call my girlfriend with news on Jimmy. So I can drive Amy home." Tony replied.

Tony got Jack safely buckled into the backseat before climbing into the driver's seat. Amy sat beside him in the passenger seat. She was gazing out the window. He could tell from the lights in the parking lot reflecting on her cheek that she had been crying. He felt for her. She was just a kid coming home from work or a night out with friends and she had been a pawn in Jimmy's suicide attempt. He also knew from the glances that everybody was giving him before they left that they were curious. As to why he was so insistent on taking her home. He knew they especially McGee thought that he was back to his old ways and trying to get in her pants. He could see why they thought that but the truth was he knew her from somewhere but he couldn't figure out where from. He knew that she was the same age as Kelly Gibbs and had gone to most of elementary school with her but that wasn't how he knew her. He was hoping that the drive home would trigger his memory.

"So are you and Jimmy close?" Amy asked out of the blue.

"Yeah it was him and his wife who introduced me to my now fiancée Emily." Tony explained.

"What's he like?" Amy asked.

"He is a really great guy. Always so generous and kind to everybody and he is so full of life and laughter. At least he was before he lost Breena. Now he's just lost and miserable. It breaks my heart. I actually feel a little guilty about my engagement to Emily." Tony explained.

"You shouldn't feel guilty about being in love and I am sure that when Jimmy starts to recover and come to his senses he will tell you the same thing." Amy assured.

"I know it's just not fair. I was the one Breena's killer was after but he took her to distract us. It is my fault she is dead." Tony explained.

"Breena was murdered?" Amy gasped.

"Yeah but I don't want to talk about it." Tony replied.

"Understandable" Amy replied.

"So where do you live?" Tony asked.

"2564 North Finnegan, building four apartment B." Amy replied.

"That's not to far from Gibbs." Tony replied.

"Good I would hate to make you go out of your way." Amy replied.

"I don't mind anything to take my mind off of Jimmy." Tony replied.

"Hey Tony what's your last name?" Amy asked.

"DiNozzo" Tony replied.

"Were you a cop in Baltimore before joining NCIS?" Amy asked.

"Yeah" Tony replied.

"I don't know if you remember me but you saved my life fourteen years ago." Amy replied.

"Really? I knew that I knew you from somewhere. Don't feel bad I block out most of the stuff I see in the line of duty. If I didn't I would probably be an alcoholic. I've seen some bad stuff. I've even erased heroic actions if they were to dark," Tony explained.

"Well it was summer of two thousand and I was fifteen and my friend was sixteen and had just gotten her license. We had gone out for ice-cream and she was going way too fast. I found out later she had been drinking but we crashed into a thankfully parked moving van. She walked away literally but I was badly injured and trapped in the car. I was dead when help arrived but you gave me CPR and saved my life." Amy explained.

"That was a bad accident. My partner was yelling at me that you were dead and I was wasting my time but I knew you were alive." Tony explained.

"Well thank you for not giving up on me." Amy replied.

"You're welcome but you do owe me." Tony replied.

"Excuse me?! I thought it was illegal for cops to ask for tips and I know you are engaged!" Amy snapped.

"It isn't monetary or sexual. If Jimmy recovers you are now part of his support team and I want you to help us bring him back." Tony explained.

"Oh I can do that." Amy replied.

Tony dropped Amy off and headed back to Gibbs's house. After putting Jack down in his crib. He called Emily with an update on Jimmy. She was relieved that he had survived so far and promised to stop by the church and light a candle for him before leaving town the next day. He looked at his watch and decided to get ready for bed himself. When he got out of the shower he noticed that he had eleven text messages from Abby and several missed calls from her, Bishop, Gibbs and Ducky. He read the texts and his heart dropped.

"Tony, Jimmy took a bad turn"

"They won't tell us anything."

"Ducky is crying but Gibbs can't get him to say why."

"It's really scary his heart stopped."

"Whew they got it started again."

"They called Ducky back again."

"Oh no! He had a seizure!"

"He had another seizure and it made his heart stop again."

"They got it started but it took longer this time."

"GET TO BETHESDA NOW!"

"NOW!"
