Beyond The Oath

Crucial Warnings

Back at the hospital, Jack falls asleep in the waiting room, and she starts having a nightmare.

Jack was walking down the corridor of an old abandoned building. She knows people are still looking for her, so she has to act fast. The one thing she didn't know, they have Gibbs. So as she's walking, she comes across this door and hears a fight, then a gunshot. Then seconds later a man comes out with a broken nose. Luckily he didn't see Jack. He continues to walk the other way. Jack goes into the room and sees a man laying on the floor with his hands tied behind his back , bleeding out. As Jack gets closer she realizes it's Gibbs.

Jack: "Gibbs, Gibbs look at me."
Gibbs: "I-I'm so-so-sorry Ja-ck.."
Jack: "No Gibbs!"

As Jack sits in that dark room holding Gibbs' body. She starts hearing Ducky yell for her.

Ducky: "Jacquiline, wake up."

Jack: (Jolts awake) "Gibbs!"
Ducky: "Are you okay?"
Jack: "No, I had a nightmare."
Ducky: "I can tell. Do you want to talk about it?"

Jack: "I'm scared Dr. Mallard."
Ducky: (Sighs) "Now I can't sit here and tell you he will make it, because I honestly don't know, but he's putting up one hell of a fight."

Jack: "In my dream, Gibbs was laying on the ground, and I tried to save him, but he-he died in my arms, Ducky."

Ducky: "I know how much you care for the dear boy, and right now, he just needs people who care about him to stay together."
Jack: "You're right, thanks Ducky."

Ducky's phone rings.

Ducky: "Yes?"

Ducky: "No, he's still in surgery."
Ducky: "What?"

Ducky: "Thanks for letting me know."

Jack: "What's wrong?"
Ducky: "They identified the attackers."
Jack: "Who were they?"

Ducky: "Rogue Mossad operatives."
Jack: "How the hell is he alive?"
Ducky: "I haven't a clue."

Ducky: "Right now we just need to hope, okay?"

Vance: "Did you know that Gibbs wasn't in Iraq at all this past year."

Ducky: "What?"
Vance: "He was attached to a MARSOC, he went to 13 different countries for different missions and raids."

Ducky: "Where did he go?"
Vance: "Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bosnia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Serbia, Jordan, South Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen and Turkey."

Ducky: "All known, ani-American countries, that whole team could have been captured in a number of those countries and killed for espionage."
Vance: "I know, that's what bothered me about this whole thing."

Vance: "Any word?"
Ducky: "No."

Vance: "How is she?"

Ducky: "Scared, she had a nightmare."
Vance: "About?"
Ducky: "Jethro."

Vance: "Ah."

Ducky: "I think she needs to listen to someone who knows her Director."
Vance: "I'll talk to her."

Ducky: "Good."

Vance tries to talk to Jack.

Vance: "Jack what's going on?"
Jack: "Dr. Mallard, talk to you?"

Vance: "Yeah."
Jack: "I'm fine, it's just a bad dream."

Vance: "Look I've known you for a long time, you're not fine."
Jack: "Leon, what if he doesn't make it?"
Vance: "You can't think like that."

Jack: "I just-I don't know what I'd do if-if."

Vance: "He'll be fine."

Jack: "But,we don't know that."

Vance: "Jack, look what Gibbs went through the past-hell, his whole life, you think this will bring him down?"

Jack: "You didn't see him, Leon."
Ducky: "Listen to me, a lesser man, would be dead."

Jack: "What if he dies? It'll be my fault."

Ducky: "Why would you say such a thing?"

Jack: "He was at the diner, because of me."

Ducky: "Oh Jacqueline, he would've gone to that diner anyway, if it wasn't for you, Jethro could be dead."

Jack: "No Ducky, if it wasn't for Gibbs, I'd be dead."
