"DiNozzo. Morasca. Go talk to the neighbors, see what they can tell you about Lieutenant Parker."
Nodding, Anna packed up her things, pausing when her partner hesitated. His date..."It's dinner time, Boss... maybe now's not the best time to bug the neighbors..." All Gibbs had to do was stare and DiNozzo rushed off to meet her at the elevator with

"T-Tony..."

Tony lifted her into his arms. "Stay with me!"

When he got her across the street and back into her house, he laid her on the couch and quickly scanned her residence, clearing it. Hurrying back, he grabbed a bath towel on his way in, placing it gently against her wound to soak up the blood, but applying only gentle pressure so as not to occlude her airway.
Tony reached for his phone, dialing the only person he could think of right now, praying that he'd pick up.
That's when Tony felt a sharp pain jolting through his chest and shoulder. He winced, and reached his hand up to the point of origin. Feeling moisture, he looked down, realizing his shirt was soaked with blood.
He fell to floor, leaning back against the couch as his respirations increased out of fear, but trying to forget his own pain so he could focus on Anna.

Anna looked down at Tony as she fought to stay awake, and then she noticed the blood and her eyes widened. "Tony... h-h-hurt..." She choked out, motioning to his injured shoulder.

Tony shivered as shock finally began to set in and he glanced around slowly, the room spinning. "I-I'm okay," he tried assuring her.

"Don't l-leave me..." She rasped, tears in her eyes as she lightly curled her fingers around his shirt near his shoulder.

Pulling Anna off of Tony, he looked her over, holding her in his arms. "What happened, Anna?" Gibbs just hoped she'd be able to get her mind off of Tony's injuries long enough for him to get answers.

After that last syllable, her eyes fluttered shut and she went limp in Gibbs' arms.

"Morasca!" Gibbs yelled as her body felt like dead weight in his arms. "What the hell happened in here?"
Pulling out his cell, his blood-covered hands quickly called for another bus. He checked Anna for a pulse, and she had one, barely, but it was still there. After he called for a second squad, he dialed McGee's number again, needing him at the scene.
Tony had two GSW's- One to his right shoulder, and one to the left side of his chest. He also had decreased lung sounds on that same side and it was getting harder to bag him. After intubating him, they performed a chest decompression. One of the medics continued bagging him while the other worked on Anna until the second squad arrived.

Anna remained limp in Gibbs' arms while he yelled. If he were to look around, he'd see Anna's weapon five feet away and no spatter patterns indicating that Tony was shot and Anna's throat was slit here. No, they'd come back here after the assault.

Anna needed medical attention, and she needed it fast. As Gibbs went to stand up with her, that's when the other medics rushed in with their equipment, and Gibbs gently set Anna down on the floor.
He stepped back, giving the EMS personnel room to work and giving orders for them to take both victims to Bethesda.
Gibbs blew out a breath and put his hand on his head as he took in the scene. He knew he couldn't allow the injuries of his agents to cloud his judgment. He needed to be on top of his game. He needed to focus. They needed him to ( ... )

As Anna was loaded onto the stretcher, her eyes fluttered open and she weakly grabbed Gibbs' hand, meeting his eyes with a look swirling with emotions. Pain, fear for Tony, guilt about Tony's wounds, sadness, anger, and just a hint of defeat. "B-boss--" She started but found she couldn't speak. Knowing that he and Abby signed, she began to sign as much as she could.
It's all my fault. I'm sorry. Tell Tony I'm sorry.
