At Gibb's place

Gibbs yawned as he heard the telephone next to his bed ring, he turned and looked at the time: 2:54am, he picked up the phone,

'Hello? Hello?'

Then he heard a reply,

'Agent Gibbs, you probably don't remember me but not to worry, I'm coming for you, you will suffer for what you did, O you will pay dearly' then the line went dead and Gibbs picked up his cell,

'Hey Abbs'

NCIS HQ

'Hey Gibbs'Abby said.

'Sorry for waking you up Abbs' Gibbs said in reply,

'O you didn't, I was here all night, I never left' she smiled holding a XXL sized Caf Pow in her hand. 'So what can I do for you?'

'Trace this call'

'Sure but it might take a while'

'No prob, thanks Abbs.'

A Few Hours Later...

Tony was in his apartment, unable to sleep, it was 5:15am, he knew he needed the rest, but he just couldn't, he had spent most of his time watching James Bond movies and eating popcorn, not a very ideal breakfast...

His phone rang, once, twice, then he bothered to pic it up,
'Yello?' he yawned then 'Hello?'

'DiNozzo, I need you here right now' Gibb's voice finally cam through the phone,

'Thought you'd never ask boss'

NCIS HQ

'Boss?'

'DiNozzo, come on, we're gona go to this adress' he handed Tony a note with a written adress on it,

'Ok, but boss, why arn't the others here?' Tony asked cxuriosly,

'This isn't a case Tony, I just need some backup'

'Sure thing boss, I'v got your six'

At the address

'Tony, go out back'

Tony nodded then he heard a clear from Gibbs but then turned around and saw someone in a black mask point a gun at his head,

'Drop your weapon'

'Okay, listen, I'm NCIS, ok I'm a fed'

'I said put your weapon DOWN!' the ma yelled again,

'Okay, I'm putting it down okay... Nice and easy'

Then the man hit Tony on the forhead with the but of his gun,

'Who are you?'

Tony laughed at the man's question,
'Firstly, I told you who I am and secondly, with a hit like that, how on earth am I supposed to remember? for that Tony got a punch.

'Tony?' Gibbs yelled through the house,

'Agent Gibbs' the man pushed Tony off the ground and on to his feet with a gun to his head.

'O so you got my call Jethro?' the man evilly asked, 'out your gun down or I'll blow young Anthony's brains out' he laughed.

'Who are you?' Gubbs asked

'Well since no ones coming out of this alive exept me of course, and since you asked nicely, I am Johnston Groen. The name ring a bell?' he asked with an evil laugh.

'I'm sorry about your daughter.' Gibbs said his eyes a little bit teary,
Tony has never really seen his boss like this, he interrupted them,

'liten whatever my boss did, I bet you it wasnt even his fault, and killing us won't bring your daughter back if I heard correctly'

This pushed the man to the edge, he turned to Tony raised his gun, but Gibbs pushed the man, but he still fired, except Tony didn't get shot in the head like he was suppose to, he got shot in his side and fell against the wall, holding his side in pain,

Gibbs and Groen were fighting Tony picked up the nearest gun, which was next to him, but by that time Groen had his gun to Gibb's head,

'Drop it Groen' Tony warned,

'You drop it, I think your boss means a little mmore to you alive than dead'

Tony did as told and dropped it,

'Good', now he released Gibbs from his hold and turned his gun to Tony,
'Walk or I shoot him and he dies even faster'

Gibbs followed Groen into a van and then he pushed Tony and Gibbs inside and closed the door.

'Tony, Tony!'

'Uhhuh' Tony replied,

'Hey you stupid smart mouth, hang in there, okay, I'm gona get us out'

'Boss, one question, Who is the guy?'

‘Tony, HEY!’ Gibbs yelled at Tony, trying to get his attention so he wouldn’t sink of to unconsciousness.
‘Bo-boss’ Tony poorly replied,
‘Hey, DiNozzo, stay awake, it’s an ORDER!’
Tony heard his boss but couldn’t bring himself to speak and just relaxed then finally said, after Gibb’s desperate attempt to keep him awake, ‘Who is this guy boss?’
Gibbs had to try his best to keep his senior field agent awake so he decided to tell him, ‘when I was … Before you work for me, there was a case, Elizabeth Hater, Groen’s half daughter, some guys were after her, can’t remember why, but she came with Groen to me for protection’ he took a deep breath and though about what he was telling Tony but then he continued, ‘we caught some guys, not all of them, we thought the rest were dead, but they weren’t. One night Elizabeth was shot in the head and a note was left in her pocket, it said: YOU DIDN’T CATCH ME AGENT GIBBS.
‘So….sorry boss’ Held his side in pain,
‘We’re gona make it out of this Tony’
‘Dead or alive boss?’ Tony joked… but before he could say anything else they van stopped and Groen walked in, pointed a gun at Tony and made Gibbs get up. Gibbs helped Tony of his feet, and they walked through what felt like nowhere, it was a very narrow street, they stepped into an old house and got into the basement, Groen then locked the door and left them alone.
‘So he blames you?’ Tony asked trying to keep himself awake.
‘Yeah, even I would blame me if I were him, hey, here’ Gibbs passed Tong his jacket and helped him hold it firmly on his wound.
‘Thanks boss, but if I were him, I’d get some common sense before I try to kill you’ Tony smiled.
Then just as Gibbs was abo0ut to say something he was interrupted by a cold, heavy voice that echoed through the room.
‘He’s got speakers in here boss’ Tony spoke quietly but Groen was still able to hear him,
‘Yes agent DiNozzo, I do actually, now, I will make you both pay for what you did Jethro, I will make you pay dearly’ then suddenly the lights went off and it was even darker, and Gibbs and Tony could smell nothing but…. SMOKE!
Alert...
‘Shit’ tony said unable to hide the pain from his wound in his voice, ‘boss, this can’t be good, we gotta get out of here’.
Then the cold voice of Groen entered the room again, ‘Good Bye agents, O and Anthony, I’m deeply sorry for getting you involved in this’
‘I’m sure you are, don’t worry if I die it won’t be on your account, it’ll be on your stupidity’s’ Tony joked.
Just then the speakers went off and all Tony and Gibbs were left with was hot temperature, the smell of smoke, fire, a pitch black room and their thoughts.
‘Tony stay here, I’m gona find us a way out’
‘Just don’t accidently set yourself on fire boss’
‘Sure think DiNozzo’ Gibbs smiled and got up to find an exit.
Tony knew that Gibbs wouldn’t get far, so he stood up, grunted in pain, leaned on the wall then started to help with the search. Tony felt the walls and was helpless until he felt a bump. A vent.
‘Boss, I got something’
‘I thought I told you to sit down DiNozzo’
‘I found a vent boss, and it’s pretty big, we…we ju…just need to o...open it up’ Tony took a deep breath and felt it hands, they were wet… with blood, and lots of it.
‘Tony I need you to stay with me, okay?’
Then Gibbs reached into his belt and pulled out a knife.
‘You could’ve brought that up earlier’ Tony joked and got a head slap for it,
‘Was waiting for the right time’ then Gibbs used the knife to unscrew the little bolt holding the vent together, one done, two done, three done, and finely, the last one done. He pulled the cap of the vent, it was low so they both then crept through it until they saw light, Gibbs then did the same thing he did with the first vent then they both jumped out into a deserted both ally. Tony couldn’t hold it anymore, the shot wound was bad enough, and he also inhaled some smoke, making it harder for him to breath. He collapsed and as soon as Gibbs realised what was happening he knelt beside Tony,
‘Hey Tony hold on okay, I’m gona get some help’ he said holding Tony’s wound firmly.
‘You’re not gona get anywhere like this boss’ tony grunted.
Gibbs looked around and saw a telephone booth nearby, ‘hey Tony, hang on, I’m gona call for help and I’ll be right back, okay?’
Blood started to pour out of Tony’s mouth, but he smiled and said, ‘Okay boss’
Gibbs left Tony and ran to the telephone booth and called an ambulance, it was a shame he and DiNozzo both left their phones at NCIS HQ, as soon as he secured an ambulance to arrive, he sprinted back to Tony and placed his hands firmly and tightly on his wound.
‘Hey! Tony!’
‘I’m with you boss’
‘DiNozzo, you will live, you hear me? Do I make myself clear?’

‘Understood boss, plus I’m not planning on leaving any time soon, I like my life the way it is’ Tony smiled, and tried to get up,

‘What the hell do you think you’re doing DiNozzo?!’ Gibbs said to Tony,

‘Getting up boss, I think we have company’ Tony then lifted his head and pointed to Groen who was standing near them.

‘So, Jethro, Anthony, how nice to see you, but unfortunately if you are not happy to see me, it will not be a very happy ending for you since my face is the last you will see, I can promise you that’ then he evilly smiled raised his gun a Gibbs, but as soon as he attempted to fire, Gibbs left Tony’s side once again and tackled Groen.

He dropped his gun after accidental shots were fired, and soon Tony was losing consciousness, and Groen had his hands around Gibb’s throat.

Gibbs was choking and loosing breath, once he realised he couldn’t do anything else much he put his arms down, but because Groen didn’t have his gun anymore, he slid his hand into his belt and pulled out a knife, he held it to Gibb’s throat, then suddenly…

Two gun shots were fired and Groen lay there next to Gibbs frozen and cold, blood was coming out of his chest, Gibbs pulled his head up only to find Tony with Groen’s gun, his back to the wall, then his eyes suddenly closed… Gibbs ran over to him, and to his luck the ambulance had just made it.

They were pulling up into the ally way, a few men ran out of the ambulance and rushed over to Tony,

‘Is he gona be okay?’ Gibbs asked worriedly,

‘Okay, one, two, three, CLEAR’

‘CLEAR’

‘CLEAR’

Tony’s life had been endangered so many times, he had heard the word clear so many times because of Tony he now hated it.

‘Got pulse, come on!’ one man yelled and suddenly they lifted Tony onto a stretcher and got him into the back of the ambulance and rushed off, leaving Gibbs with another ambulance that had come for him, and an NCIS car.

‘Abby?’ Gibbs said as she rushed over to him and gave him a big hug.

‘I was so worried!’ then a tear ran down her cheek.

Ziva and McGee stepped out next, then McGee spoke,
‘we got a call from the hospital that you and Tony were here, you okay boss?’

‘Fine, come on, we gotta get to the hospital to see what’s happening with Tony’

‘Agent Gibbs’ a warm, welcoming voice spoke, as Gibbs turned around he saw a tall, man with dark hazel hair and green eyes standing in front of him.

‘Yeah?’ Gibbs replied with his usually tone, except this time it had a hint of worry run through it.

‘You have to get yourself checked and looked at before you can leave, and I won’t take no for an answer, as you said on the phone your agent has inhaled smoke, which affected his breathing, the same may have happened to you’

‘Look I’m fine, I have to go see how my agents doing’

‘Agent DiNozzo’s operation will take several hours, you have plenty of time to get checked up and get there in time for the news about him.

‘But…’

‘Not buts agent Gibbs, its final, get checked and you can go’

‘Alright, fine’ were Gibb’s last words before the check-up, he wanted this to end so badly so he could go see how his senior field agent was doing.

Flames…

4 hours later…

A wall of flames built and burnt up in Gibbs, he was so frustrated that Tony went through this pain because of him, he hated himself so much right now, and he would do anything to stop Tony from coming in Groen’s house with him. God he would do anything to swap places with Tony right now.

‘Agent Gibbs’ the same man who did the check up came to him, they shook hands, and he introduced himself to everyone as Dr. Malcom Jones.

‘I’m sure you would like to know how agent DiNozzo is doing.’

‘Yes please tell us how young Anthony is’ Ducky cut in obviously worried.

‘Well, Dr. Mallard, there is nothing much to fear. Anthony will make a

full recovery in a few days, but I don’t suggest and field work for a week or two’ Dr. Jones smiled.

Abby jumped and gave him a hug, ‘thank you!’ she said obviously relieved.

‘Can we see him?’ Ziva and McGee said at the same time then smiled at each other.

‘Ugh... well maybe just for a few moments, though I will allow one visitor to stay, if anyone…’

‘I will’ Gibbs said almost immediately.

‘Very well’ Dr. Jones smiled.

After everyone said their good nights to Tony, apperently he was asleep, but when Gibbs quietly walked in, Tony spoke,

‘No need for that boss’

‘Hey, when’d you wake up?’

‘After Ziva left’

‘Tony… I’m sorry’ Gibbs was broken, he couldn’t take seeing his agent like this, because of him.

‘Why boss?’

‘Because of this, Tony’ Gibbs took a deep breath, ‘you were shot Tony!

Because of me! I got you into this mess and in the end you saved my life!’

‘We’re a team boss, you have each others sixs’

‘I didn’t have your six Tony’

‘Ahh… you sorta did boss, you got us outa there, because of you we’re

still here’
‘If it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have nearly died, again’

‘But it wasn’t boss, I chose to come with you to the house’

‘Because I gave you an order’

‘Which I chose to follow’ Tony took a deep breath then spoke, ‘Boss,

theres no point in blaming yourself for something that is not even your fault, plus you couldn’t have done anything’

Gibbs was shocked, the man, his agent, his friend who he had put through hell is telling him nothing is his fault!

At Last…

1 Week Later…

Tim, Ziva, Duck, Jim, Abbs, Leon, Gibbs were all at there desks, labs, offices, just working and working while Tony lay on his couch with pizza and coke on the table and an old James Bond movie which would be the first of many watched today.

He was home at last.
