McGee's Point of view
There he was Jonny Clark the recently found killer of Lt. Jessica Greene. As we approached he spotted us and took off with Ziva after him in an instant, gun in hand. They disappeared into an alley with Tony on her tail that's when four shots rang out. I ran with Gibbs to the alley and saw Tony lying on the ground bleeding out, Ziva was crouched over his still form and was yelling at him.
"Tony, come on you can't leave me yet, not when the team has only just got back together! ...Tony come on!" And with that she broke down sobs racking her body and tears flowing freely down her cheeks as she clung to him. After a few seconds an ambulance arrived on scene. The paramedics tried to pull her off him but she wouldn't let go in the end I had to help Gibbs drag her off it was only then I saw how much blood he had actually lost, there was a puddle around him Ziva had tons on her, that's when it hit me that I may lose one of my best friends. The paramedics eventually got him on a gurney and wheeled him into the ambulance, all the time Ziva was still crying. I had to quickly look over the scene. I saw that Ziva had put three bullets into the perpetrator; personally, I was surprised she didn't empty her gun into him. When all of us, bar Tony, got back to HQ, Ziva still had silent tears running down her face, her eyes red and puffy. She had seemed to have zoned out and was still coated with Tony's hardening blood, when we left the elevator she went and got changed into a pair of NCIS sweats. When she came back into the bull pen she was still shaking slightly, but her face showed no expression, It seemed her hard shell she created around herself had come back after so long trying to tear it down and let people in. As I was watching her, Gibbs told me to take her statement, but only when she was ready. When she sat down she just kept her eyes focused on Tony's seat, that was when Abby ran in with Ducky in tow.
"Timmy! What happened?" Abby's voice was demanding.
"Tony was shot. Ziva killed the guy who shot him before me and Gibbs arrived. When we did, Ziva was yelling at him to stay with her and us, she then broke down in tears- something I've never seen really happen with Ziva before and just held him until the paramedics arrived, even then we had to drag her off him and she hasn't spoken to either of us since!"
"Oh dear, is the poor boy ok?"Ducky asked.
"I think he should be ok. I mean he is in surgery now, probably. And he will need a blood transfusion."
"What about Ziva?" Asked Ducky again
"How is she coping with seeing him shot in front of her eyes?" Added Abby.
"Not as well as you would think from looking at her. I think she has already started to rebuild the walls around herself, but you never know." It was just then Ziva came over to them.
"Guy's can I sing you something I wrote? It kind of has a certain meaning me it may have one for you too."
"Sure!"
"Ooooh,
Here I am feels like the walls are closing in once again,
It's time to face it and be strong,
I wanna do the right thing I know it's up to me somehow,
I've lost my way if I could take it all back I would now,
I never meant to let you all down,
And now I've got to try to turn it all around,
And figure out how to fix this,
I know there's a way so I promise,
I'm gonna clean up the mess I've made,
Maybe it's not too late,
Maybe it's not too late,
Ooooooh,
So I'll take a stand even though it's complicated,
If I can I wanna change the way I made it,
I've gotta do the right thing now,
I know it's up to me somehow I'll find my way,
If i could take it all back I would now,
I never meant to let you all down,
And now I've got to try to turn it all around,
And figure out how to fix this,
I know there's a way so I promise,
I'm gonna clean up the mess I've made,
Maybe it's not too late,
Maybe it's not too late,
I'm gonna find the strength to be the one,
That holds it all together show you that I'm sorry,
But i know that we can make it better,
If i could take it all back I would now,
I never meant to let you all down,
And now I've got to try to turn it all around,
And figure out how to fix this,
I know there's a way so I promise,
I'm gonna clean up the mess I've made,
Maybe it's not too late,
I never meant to let you all down,
Now I've got to try to turn it all around,
And figure out how to fix this,
I know there's a way so I promise,
I'm gonna clean up the mess I've made,
Maybe it's not too late,
Maybe it's not too late,
Oooooooh."

"Ziva you haven't let us all down and it's not your fault, but that was a really beautiful song. I had no idea you could sing like that!" Said Abby who hugged her as did Ducky and I. "I also had no idea you felt like that, you need to open up more and by the way it's never too late."
"But what if he dies?"
"He won't, Think about how many times he has nearly died, he always came back to be the normal, flirtatious Tony as ever before and another thing is you may have had an audience for that song. By the way, what is it called?"
"It's not too late"
"It's definitely not too late, I think that some people want to congratulate you Ziva, so I think it would be good if you snap out of girl talk with Abby and speak to them!" I said with a slight grin.
