Ziva POV
Suddenly everything seemed to speed up until it was a blur. Gibbs and Tony started yelling for a doctor and I tried to wake the girl up, although I knew it would be futile. Several medical personnel came rushing in and I felt Gibbs's strong hands pull me off of Olivia. The doctors began wheeling her out and one was starting chest compressions and another was putting an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose. I stood there, watching until someone spun me around.

"Tony," I started. He looked over at me, exhausted. "She's going to be fine. How else do you think she survived the last few months?" He nodded.
"I know, it's just-" he began, and then stopped.
"Get some sleep, Tony." I said. I closed my own eyes, and when I opened them a few minutes later, he was snoring softly. I smiled to myself and fell asleep.
