Summary:  What should have been a simple chase after two suspects takes a dramatic turn for Gibbs and DiNozzo.
Author's Note:  Written for mad_jaks

DiNozzo had already chased down and cuffed Henderson by the time Gibbs caught up to them.  “Winded, Boss?  They say old age can do that to a person.”

Gibbs let a rather hard head slap be his answer for the barb.  “Fitzgerald?” 

DiNozzo shrugged.  “I lost him two blocks back.  You?”
                                       
“Does it look like I have him?”

“No,” DiNozzo began as he hauled Henderson to his feet, “but I...” He broke off, head tilting as he reacted to something Gibbs hadn’t heard.  Then, all of a sudden, he shoved Henderson at Gibbs before taking off down the sidewalk and darting into the alley.

Pulling Henderson along with him Gibbs rounded the corner in time to see DiNozzo grab for Fitzgerald, but was far too far away to do anything but scream “Tony!” when he realized that their momentum was carrying them out of the alley and into the street beyond.  He couldn’t see what happened next, but there was a squeal of brakes and a sickening crunch and his imagination went into overdrive as ice cold dread settled in the pit of his stomach.

Gibbs tore down the alley, dragging Henderson behind him.  He dodged the pickup truck that had swerved into some trash cans at the mouth of the alley.  That was when he saw DiNozzo laying in the street, Fitzgerald bending over him trying to grab his gun.  Pulling out his own weapon Gibbs cocked it right behind Fitzgerald’s ear.  “Don’t even try it.”

Making creative use of a street sign, his belt and the handcuffs, Gibbs had his two prisoners immobilized and rushed over to check on DiNozzo, who was already regaining consciousness.

“What have I said about sleeping on the job?” Gibbs chided, his tone rough even as he gently stroked DiNozzo’s cheek.

“Sorry Boss.”

WOW so much action in such a short span of time. And Tony putting Gibbs' heart in his mouth - that was very naughty of him... he definitely deserved that cheek stroking he got *nods*

Thank you darling I *Love* it

Tony! Don't you know better than to let Gibbs think you've been killed yet again... tsk tsk...

I'm sure there's a Gibbs slap in Tony's future once the ER and Ducky have given him a clean bill of health... Then Gibbs can make it up to him with a nice stay at casa de Gibbs....

::goes to happy NCIS slash place for a bit::

Awwwww could they be anymore THEMSELVES in this little ficlet? I adore it! ♥

And I bet Gibbs can be very creative with handcuffs and street signs if he has to :D

great story! Too bad you ended it there, since I'm in need of some serious Hurt!Tony. Maybe next time?

Ooh, I loves this. (Even when I ignore the Gibbs/DiNozzo vagueness, because it can be totally taken the other way)...you get them both so in character.

Oh, wonderful!

I really hope that you don't have anything against slash because this fic send me straight to slash overload! The subtext! *rolls in the subtext*

Plus, great action in such few words. I didn't think that short pieces could have so much action but alas, I was wrong.

And Tony nearly dying again and Gibbs being concerned and cheek stroking! Excuse me, I'll be in the corner wallowing in the squee.

AW! Only Tony could get hit by a truck while chasing a suspect. This was great!

I'm going to check out more of your stuff very shortly.
