NCIS- The explosion

Chapter 7

Nurses ran in and started to do compressions on Ziva, while I was asked to leave the room.

I can't believe this. If i caused Ziva to die, I will never forgive myself.

Gibbs POV:

The nurses came over and told us that Ziver is in surgery, as she had internal damage, and is internally bleeding.

"McGee, what have you got?"

"From what I can tell from the security cameras, the man who bombed the gym was wearing a tan coat, and boots. Of course Ziva can tell you all that when she wakes up." McGee rambled.

"That's all? The explosion was 13 hours ago, and we have nothing?" Gibbs threatened.

McGee was quick to reassure him saying "actually boss, we do have something. Abby matched a partial mud print left in the gym to the type of shoes he was wearing. He was wearing size 12 Wolverine steel-toed boots. He is 6 foot 3 and is about 180 pounds. We can't tell what his facial features are to get facial recognition because he kept his face away from the cameras. Almost like he knew they were there."

"So what your saying is we have information that can help us when we have him, but nothing to help him now." Gibbs questioned.

"It would help if we could get witness statements, but most are deceased or in critical condition. Could we talk to Ziva for a few minutes? She knows what to tell us, and what she saw." 

"Ziva now falls under that condition." Gibbs said bluntly.

"Oh no, Zivas dead? Dinozzo must be devestated! And you of course boss." McGee rushed.

"No she's not dead, don't you think you would have been notified? She has internal bleeding and is having surgery as we speak.

"McGeek, you're here! Why? Shouldn't you be finding the bomber?" Dinozzo yelled.

"Well if I had some help and didn't have to work alone it would sure help. I came to talk to Ziva, and was updated on her condition." McGee said.

"You know what McGee, you have to work alone because I am here making sure Ziva's ok. While i'm gone I expect you to handle the investigation, and I will try to help when I can." Tony replied.

"Why don't you help Mcgee for awhile? When she comes out I will tell you, but I won't expect her to want to answer your questions." Gibbs said.

In the car:

"What did Gibbs mean by she wouldn't want to answer your questions? Did you do something to her?" McGee questioned

"None of your buisness McNosey, just drive." Was Tony's only response.

They drove in silence the rest of the way back to the navy yard. when they got there Tony was all buisness asking McGee about witness statements and possible leads.
