Just a Dream
"Shooter!" Kate screamed. She dropped her gun and dove in front of Gibbs while someone fired a shot. Kate dropped to the ground and just laid there without moving or saying anything.
"Kate!" Gibbs yelled as her and I ran over to her.
Gibbs and I unzipped her jacket and tore the shirt underneath, and were thankful to find that the bullet was stuck in her bullet proof vest. Gibbs and I breathed a sigh of relief. Although Gibbs didn't really show it I know that he was relieved.
"You ok?" I asked full of pure concern.
"Ooww" Kate moaned in pain. "I just got shot at point-blank range DiNozzo…what do you think?" Kate said as me and Gibbs helped her up.
"That means that you won't be going to Pilate's class tomorrow?" I said with a smile.
Kate just looked at me, shook her head, and smiled.
"Protection detail is over, Kate" Gibbs said as her put his earpiece back in.
"You did good" I said winking at Kate. Again she just smiled.
"For once DiNozzo's right." Gibbs said with a smirk.
"Wow!" Kate laughed. "I thought I would die before I ever hear…"
She didn't even get to finish her sentence. She fell backwards as a single bullet went through the back of her skull. Kate fell to the ground. She was just laying there in her own pool of blood.
I just stood there in shock. Her blood had spattered all over my face. My legs started to weaken as I fell to my knees beside this once living human being. My emotions got the best of me and I started crying uncontrollably. I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer. No matter how hard I tried the tears just kept flowing down my face like a waterfall. I finally gave in and let them fall.
I could see Gibbs staring into the distance with his gun pointed at God knows what. He mumbled something but I couldn't hear it, nor was I really trying to.
I turned my attention back to Kate. I was still crying, and at this point I could careless. I had just lost the woman I love and I never even got a chance to tell her how I felt. Now those words would forever be unsaid.
Just then I heard a voiced and a gun shot. I thought it was Gibbs so I kept my attention on Kate. I wished she would just get up and start insulting me for something stupid I did or make fun of me because I was crying, but I knew I would never hear her sweet voice say another word. Well at least not in this life time anyway.
I brushed a hair out of her eyes. I know it really didn't matter that much because mostly all her hair was covered in blood, but it mattered to me. I had never got the chance to do that when she was alive. She would have yelled at me if I did though. "Kate, I love you! Why did you have to go? I wish I could have saved you but I didn't know it was coming. I promise I will get the basterd that did this to you." I said as I started to cry again, but this time I felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew it was Gibbs.
"I never even got to tell her, Gibbs. Now she's gone." I said with tears streaming down my checks.
"It will be alright Anthony." A voice said, but it was not Gibbs's. I turned around and there stood Ari with a gun in my face. I searched for Gibbs. I found him lying motionless, the same as Kate. The shot I heard earlier was from Ari not Gibbs. I should have looked over to see why he was shouting but I could get my attention off Kate. Now it was because of my carelessness Kate and Gibbs were both dead.
"Ari, you stupid basterd! You are going to pay for what you have done to both of them!" I said full of anger.
"Well, how do you plan on doing that Anthony, when I am the one with the gun?" Ari said as he smirked.
I started reaching for my gun. "I wouldn't be doing that if I were you." Ari said.
"Why, what are you going to do about it?" I said with my gun at hand.
"Drop your gun Anthony, I will shoot you." Ari said.
I keep my gun in my hand. "You know what, I could honestly careless. You just killed Kate and Gibbs. I will not let you walk out alive. And I would die trying. Plus, I don't have anything left to live for."
With that being said I raised my gun and pointed it at Ari. I took off the safety and closed my eyes as I pulled the trigger, as did he. I heard to shots fire and I opened my eyes.
I was bewildered to find myself lying under my desk in the office. I felt something wet on my face. I lifted my hand and felt it and brought my hand back down so I could see what it was. To my surprise it was only sweat. I sat up and looked around. Neither Gibbs nor Kate were at their desks.
I thought for a second. "Well if I am still alive then they must be too."
He stood up and heard the elevator ding.
