"Previously on NCIS."
"Wow. I thought I'd die before I ever got a com..." Kate felt a heavy body pushing her down at the ground and something penetrating her shoulder. It hurt like razors. Tony raised his head and looked at her. He got fear in his eyes at the sight of all the blood that was welling out of her shoulder.
"Tony! What... are you doing?" He could see that it was getting harder to talk. And Tony's bodyweight didn't exactly help.
"Saving your cute little ass, what do you think?" he replied calmly. "You're shot. Don't move."
"You don't have to... tell me that... It's kinda hard to move as it is..." He moved over and kept his hand on her wound as a pressure. "Ow! That hurts!" she said looking gloomily in to his eyes.
"Yeah, well, it's for your own good." He looked at her with a sad expression. He then forced himself to focus. "Boss, did you see the shooter?" He was busy talking to McGee on the radio.
"...Yeah. She's shot and needs to get to the hospital. Call 911 and meet me on the other side." He turned and looked at his two agents. "McGee is calling 911. The ambulance should be here soon. Try to get her down, and for God sake, don't leave her alone until the ambulance is here. For all we know, Ari is still out there."
"Ari? So you saw the shooter?" Tony said.
"No. But I bet it was him." He was on his way down when he turned and looked at them, still on the ground. Tony with the pressure on Kate's shoulder.
"Hey. You did a good job, DiNozzo." Gibbs gave in a little, and smiled at them. But just as fast he got his old grumpy face again and left. Kate and Tony were still in chock when Tony popped out something that sounded like a "thank-you, boss.". Did he just smile?
Kate tried to make eye-contact with Tony but by now she could barely open her eyes. She rested her head on his lap and tried to open her mouth. "Ton..." It was to much. Kate fell back against his lap once again her mouth half open. Tony reacted instantly and tried to get her conscious again.
"Come on Kate. I know you can do it! Wake up." He looked down at her helpless body and decided to carry her down. Tony slowly lifted her up and placed her in his arms. He began his way down.
