Summary: Jackie hugged her children close "Mom, dad, Tony, you need to help Tony" Jared said upset. Kayla wouldn't face any of them. At the same time half the rescue team for 'the rescue team' landed, existing of Gibbs, Tim McGee and Ziva David. The building seemed empty looking around they finally saw him. Eyes closed, close to a wall, was he dead or just unconscious?
"Tony" Gibbs shouted as he ran forward, McGee and Ziva close behind.

"Its her" Ziva said angrily "she murdered my father"
"Ziva David, stop it" Leon Vance said as she stepped in between both girls. "Your father was dead, my wife wasn't. There were nothing she could have done for your father."
"She chose to save your wife, they said she was dead too, but she got her back to life, its her fault my father is dead" Angel sighed, closing her eyes at the accuses, memories came crashing back

Chapter 1

"Jared, Kayla, thank god your safe" Jackie Vance hugged her children close, Leon Vance stood close behind.
"Mom, dad, Tony, you need to help Tony" Jared said upset.
"Sit down" Leon said softly before sitting down himself, a hand on his son's knee. "Gibbs, McGee and David is off looking for Agent DiNozzo."
"He kept them off us, they tried to... but Tony stopped them from hurting Kayla" Jared almost hyperventilated, Kayla wouldn't face either of them.

NCIS

After a little while an agent approached the Vance family, telling them that they'd better get checked out at the hospital. At the same time Gibbs, McGee and Ziva David landed, there were another floor to reach and they did it as silently as they could, one single man was seen dead on ground, otherwise the place seemed empty and then they saw him. Eyes closed close to a wall. McGee thought he saw someone moving away from the place, but he wasn't sure.

"Boss, look, Tony" McGee gasped.

A few minutes earlier

"Jay, you close?" She asked out loud, cradling an unconscious man in her arms.
"Right behind you kiddo. Check at that arrow, a piece is missing. He probably fainted cause of the pain." A man said, Jay, as he approached her.
"I don't want to leave him alone here" She said hesitatingly.
"We'll be close enough, and if his team gets here before the rescue plane... you know he don't want them to know about you just like this... he is one very personal man." Jay said.
"I know... you are right... but still..."
"It's okay, we'll be close, just be careful." Jay said.

NCIS

"Hell DiNozzo, what happened to you?" Gibbs ran towards his fallen agent, McGee and David came running after. "David, guard the left side, McGee the right, stand close enough for me to hear if you need me."
"We should watch him, yes?" David said.
"No Ziva, you take your spot, I'll take mine." McGee said, concern written all over his face.
As soon as they were out of ears reach Gibbs shook Tony, none to gently, trying to get life into his agent. Which he managed to as Tony came to with a painful yell.

NCIS

She heard his cry of pain and swore at herself for leaving him alone there. She looked over her shoulder, yeah they were there, hidden, but they were there.
As soon as she got to where she left Tony she heard his voice.
"You trying to kill me boss?" Tony said painfully. "Watch the head, I hit my head when they threw me down the stairs" He took a little break as Gibbs assessed his agent, not seeing the need to get a closer look, Tony did say he hit his head, that alone should have rung the warning bells for Gibbs, but it didn't.
"How did you get here?" Gibbs asked. Ziva David and Tim McGee both now stood close enough to assess the situation, they both came running as Tony cried out in pain.
"I left him here, going for help." A new voice said, as Tony heard her voice he looked up, he carefully got up, leaning at the wall, arms crossed over his chest.
"Who are you?" Gibbs asked, she didn't bother looking at him at that moment, her eyes was locked into the wounded agent, Tony, leaning against a wall.
"I'd suggest you put the guns down Special Agent Gibbs" She said while raising her hand in the air.

"You trigger crazy maniac, get out here and keep that sniper in place." Those words worried Gibbs at first, but as three persons stepped forward he smiled at the one at front, first looking at his fallen Agent that stood up.
"You okay DiNozzo?" he asked.
"Fine boss" the words sounded forced somehow and Gibbs didn't miss the woman mutter 'your definition of fine need to be adjusted'.

"Gunny, would've been nicer not meeting you in such place" The one at front said.
"Yeah me too Jay" Gibbs smiled.

NCIS

"Ziva just called, they've found him, FBI agent Jay Simmons, Belle Rose and Tim Lion was accompanying a woman, a doctor that was with them. They were on the rescue team of your children." An agent said to Vance.
"Yeah Tony jumped into the van as it drove of with my children." Leon sighed "I don't know what they wanted with my children. But FBI sent their best to retrieve my children, and the doctor was asking to come, claiming she might be needed."
"Good thing she came though, and that Jay's team stayed with her and with Tony, apparently the kidnappers had some connection with you, they managed to grab a hold of Tony as the chopper lifted. They had done a number on him, while he was protecting your daughter. Jay said Agent DiNozzo's upper chest was filled with bruises, and his description fits with what your son told us." The agent said.

NCIS

"Angel, keep your eyes on Tones." Jay said before looking at Gibbs, snickering at her reply of 'always have my eyes on him' knowing the hidden meaning of those words.
"He always throwing himself at harms edge to protect innocents?" Jay asked
"That's Tony for you." Gibbs smile, watching how that woman, Angel was fussing over Tony.
"He's good at downplaying injuries, isn't he?" Jay said.
"Yeah he... wait what? Injuries, what injuries, he said he was fine." Gibbs began angrily, not loud enough for Tony to notice though.
"Cool it" Jay grabbed Gibbs shoulder "You didn't ask if he was injured, did you? The dead person you passed to get here, he shot your agent." Jay added.
"Why didn't you tell me you were shot?" Gibbs turned and looked at Tony as he spoke.
"You didn't ask the right question" Tony smiled and now Gibbs saw the thin layer of sweat on Tony's face. Ignoring what Tony said he silently walked over to his fallen, yet standing agent, he guessed the woman was the reason he stood up.

"Let me see" Gibbs said, Tony tried to back away but a whisper from the young woman at his side made him sigh.

"Can we make it not as crowded" She asked, Gibbs now knew that she knew Tony better then they thought.
"Go check on the estimated time on the rescue team" Gibbs said.
"Jay, you stay here, Lion you stand guard, Belle go with Gibbs team." Angel said
"Sure Angel." The woman, Belle said before they all moved out, leaving the woman at Tony's side, Angel alone with Gibbs, Tony and Jay.
"Let's get you lying down again, okay sweetie?" Angel said softly, Jay and Gibbs stood close, Jay with a sad smile on his lips, Gibbs with a confused look, she was acting like something was between her and Tony...
"I'd rather stand" Tony said, looking into Angels eyes he sighed and let her and Gibbs lower him down, closing his eyes he resigned, letting them do whatever they wanted, his hand crampingly holding onto Angels.

"Holy hell, that's not from a bullet." Gibbs almost gasped at the ugly looking wound, and all the bruises around it.
"The rest of the arrow's behind us, Tony yanked it out before I managed to react" Angel said as she had the shirt fully opened, bruises all over his chest was visible, Angel looked away, touching Tony's face softly again.
"He was caught before Angel got to him." Jay explained. "How's your breathing Tones?"
"You need to get the last piece out of me, please" Tony said, eyes still closed, layer of sweat almost hid the tear that snuck out of his eye as every movement hurt his beaten and bruised body.

"I'd rather we wait till we get to the hospital sweetie" Angel said, trying to reason with Tony, he opened his eyes and revealed the panic in them. "Okay, okay, shh just try to calm down."
Gibbs sat down, carefully bringing Tony into his lap, gently rubbing his shoulder, he knew Tony did everything to not seem weak. Gibbs and Angel both worked quickly to get Tony to calm down, both recognizing the sign of a panic attack. "I got you Tony, everything's going to be OK." Gibbs whispered.
Jay backed away some, still being close enough to help if needed.

NCIS

"Both children will be released in a little while, all you need is to rest, and book some counseling for them" The doctor said.
"Thank you doctor." Jackie said. And as Vance family left the doctor turned to the agent that still was there.
"Have you heard anything else about Tony?" he asked.
"He's gonna need both counseling and some attention from you guys... he had an arrow stuck in his body, apparently he tried to rip it out himself. Ziva didn't know much, she wasn't allowed back. I'm sure he'll contact you when he can Brad." the agent said.
"Last time you didn't tell me a squat" Brad said, a bit surprised.
"Tony told me to be as honest to you as I could, bit surprised that you are here though, being as you were his 'lung doc' as he put it."

NCIS

"I'm sorry Tony, this gonna hurt, like hell." Gibbs said softly as he sat with Tony's head and shoulders leaning in his lap, a firm grip on his wounded Agent. They had given Tony a few, maybe 10 minutes to collect himself.

"I'll be weeping like a baby in your arms in a few seconds." Tony said, and Gibbs honestly didn't know if he was joking, being sarcastic or just bashed at himself in that moment.
"Tony, this isn't being weak, this is being wounded and not being at a hospital. Had we been at a hospital you'd be heavily sedated by now" Angel got there before him.
"Don't tell me what your about to do, just do it" Tony said, looking away, his nails digging into both his hands and a tiny 'ahh' came over his lips at the first cut.
"I'm so sorry sweetie" She whispered as she did another cut, this time no sound came over Tony's lips, but she saw the sweat and tears in his face.
"They are another hour away." Tim McGee said as he approached, Tony moved one hand and began to brush his tears away, Tim McGee just took his hands, sucking in a deep breath at the sight of his hands, blood, Tony had dug his nails so deep into his hands that he had managed to draw some blood. Shaking his head, he needed to forget the blood for a minute, his friend needed him.
"Better dig your fingers into my hands, we got a doctor here, so crush away" Tim tried to joke.
"I better not read bout this in your next book" Tony muttered at Tim.

"Not exciting enough to sell, sorry Tony" Tim teased.
"Oh please, this would be a best seller" Tony said between breaths.
"Keep telling yourself that" Tim teased as he sat down beside Gibbs, trying to keep Tony's mind away from what was happening as he helped to hold Tony down as Angel did another cut, Tony cried out, the tiny smile that had been seen at Tim's words was gone.
"Sorry sweetie" Angel whispered softly as she applied pressure on the wound after finding what she was looking after and making sure everything looked okay.
"That hurts babe" Tony whimpered. "Hurts" Gibbs and Tim McGee looked at each other at Tony's words, babe and admitting to pain.
"I know honey, shh, everything will be okay" She said. Gibbs saw how Angel taped a cloth at place over the wound before she looked at Tony again.
"That was the last one honey, look, I got the piece of arrow, now we just wait. You can release him now" Angel met Gibbs eyes for the first time, both almost flinched.
"McGee go check whats going on." Gibbs said, he saw Jay and Tim McGee walked off, leaving him, Tony and Angel alone for a little while.

"Everything going to be okay now, love." Angel said as she stroke her hands through Tony's hair and over his face, he had managed to compose himself, not being one to show when he was in real pain.
"Boss, this is my wife, Angelica DiNozzo. Angel, this is my boss, Gibbs" The words coming out slowly and very controlled.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs, call me Jethro." Gibbs reached his hand to Angel "When did you marry my agent?"

"13 months ago, shortly after he adopted my daughter." Angel said before looking down at Tony again as Jay came back.

"They met at a rescue mission 5 years ago. Angel here gave birth to her daughter on the ramp on the way up into the rescue plane, during gunfire, a very dramatic birth." Jay said.
