"I can't believe they're… gone!" Abby cried with tears. She put her head on Ducky's shoulder.

"There, there my dear Abby," Ducky said with his slight accent.

"I'll never be able to see them again," she said gasping between words as her tears began to subside, "will you take me home?"

"Yes, would you like me to stay with you?" Ducky asked.

"No, I just have to do some stuff and then I'm going to come back here and stay with McGee and Ziva," Abby explained.

"Okay then," Ducky agreed. They walked out of the hospital and to the car. They drove away into the sun.

Ziva made a full recovery within three months. She was offered to stay at NCIS, but she declined, claiming that she couldn't bare the thought of working without Tony or Gibbs. She returned back to Mossad and has become their top agent. She keeps in touch with McGee, Abby, and Ducky and plans to visit them in the summer.

McGee was released after two weeks with a compound fracture in his left arm and a broken right foot. He returned to NCIS, but transferred to Quantico. He has published three more books in his Deep Four series, and is currently working on two more. The book inspired by the bombing has become his best seller. His sister finished college and ran off with some guy and got married in Vegas. She use to keep in contact, but she fell off the map. McGee looked for her for three years only to find that she had been killed while on call as a stripper.

Ducky lived to age 80 where he then died of a rare type of disease that he contracted while working as an M.E.

Abby went on to find Osama Bin Laden, in work with Mossad and the CIA. She was rewarded 100 million dollars for her part. She retired to Prince Edward Island and works as a PI on the side.

Gibbs and Tony were buried next to each other in Arlington National Cemetery. The ceremony was extremely large. All five of Gibbs' ex-wives were there, and even Jeanne showed up. Both Tony and Gibbs were given awards for their efforts to save others lives at the sacrifice of their own.
