Hi everyone. So I have good news for you all. Well good for you lol. So my job ended boo. With kids back in school the dungeon is slow so I have lots of free time till winter break and holidays.

So that's my news. I will be updating my stories, least the ones I can get ideas for and stuff. I'll be doing my best, hope to see lots of your guys nice reviews.

Tony never took his eyes off Duck's pale assistant even for a second. It was like seeing a living corpse.

"Don't worry Jim…team Gibbs will find who did this…he or she will pay dearly" he whispered. Anthony DiNozzo meant that with all his heart, no one messed with his friends and got away with it.

Tony made it to his car and carefully placed Jimmy on the front seat and buckled him in. "Sorry bout the buckle kid, but I doubt you'll make it if I got into an accident" he said as Jimmy made the smallest flinch as the cool strap touched his body.

Tony got into the drivers seat again and started the car. He then pulled out his phone and called the one man he trusted the most.

"Hey boss….I…I found him" he said, his voice cracking with held back emotion.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs dropped the tools he was using in shock. "You found Palmer? Is he all right?" The gruff, silver haired marine asked.

"He's alive….barely…boss he's….he's really banged up" Tony cracked as he stared at Jimmy's prone body.

"Calm down Tony, least you found him alive…I'll meet you at Bethesda soon" Gibbs said.

Tony nodded. "Sure boss, I'm on the way to the hospital now…I just hope Jimmy pulls through" he answered.

"He will…if Palmer can listen to Ducky's rambles all day, dissect corpses and dodge a bullet….he'll make it through this…he has no choice anyway, he's on my team and you guys don't have my permission to die" Gibbs answered.

That got a tiny smile out of Gibb's right hand man. "Sure boss, if you say it then I believe it" he answered and hung up.

Gibbs clicked his phone shut and clenched his fists. "Not sure that's the best idea DiNozzo" he muttered angrily.

"Why the hell didn't I just help you when you asked me Palmer?" he muttered. Gibbs knew it was going to be a long week ahead.
