Death is something that cannot be controlled but the question is, what does it mean to die?

It was a regular day in the bullpen. The team was working on paper work after one of their hardest cases. A Marine named Hannah Williams was shot to death by her boy friend, Petty officer Will Johnson, after she cheated on him. The case became even more difficult when McGee discovered that he had emptied her bank account before he disappeared. However they were able to find him and the money. But when he pulled out a gun and held it to Ziva's head, the team fired. Now it was 2:00 am on a Friday night or rather Saturday morning, and the agents were desperate to go home.

"Hey Zee-vah." Tony hissed.

"Yes?" She answered distracted by her paperwork.

"Are you afraid to die?" Tony asked with a serious tone.

She looked up at him concerned. "Why do you ask?"

"Because when we were in that gun fight with Johnson he almost shot you and you didn't even flinch."

Ziva stared right at him. "We face death everyday Tony. Even when we do not know it. I am not afraid. Besides I knew you would shoot him before he shot me."

Tony was about to respond when dozens of armed men and women in ski masks came out of the elevators. And they were carrying big bad guns.

I realize this would probably never happen to the team but i thought it would make a good story. Please review!
