Summary: Set in S3E12 “Boxed In.” What if things had gone a bit differently in that container they got locked in? What if they got hurt, her worse than him? Will she live?
It was a beautiful day, as Tony and Ziva stood, locked in a box car container. They had been chasing the bad guy and had ended up locked in there, after getting shot at by him.
They looked at each other.
“You okay?” he asked her, considering she had just jumped in front of a bullet to keep him from getting shot, which had landed them there.
Upon his question, she felt blood and realized that she had gotten shot in the side.
“I could be better,” she replied, as the adrenaline from chasing the guy, left her system. It made her actually feel the pain from the wound.
He saw the wound and took his coat off, letting it fall to the floor.
“There has to be a way out of here,” she said, trying to concentrate on getting out, instead of the fact that she had just been shot.
He rested hands on her arms.
“If there is, I’ll find us a way out. Right now, let’s concentrate on you for a minute.”
She agreed and he let go.
She sat down, back against the wall.
He knelt beside her and took his suit jacket off. He then used it to apply pressure to her wound, before using the sleeves to tie the jacket around the wound to keep the jacket in place. He hoped that that would help for a while. If not, they were screwed.
“That should help,” he said, before standing up and going over to the door to find a way out.
“Thanks,” she replied.
A few hours later, he was finally able to get the door open.
He went over and knelt beside her. He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet to leave, his destination being the hospital.
A few hours later, she was okay and was able to go home.
In the end, the guy was arrested and Tony took Ziva home and stayed with her to help her if need be.
