Author's note: Basically this is set at the end of Twilight. I hope you enjoy this. The italics are the character's thoughts. PLEASE REVEIW!


It had been a long couple of days for the team. Gibbs had nearly been blown up at a café thanks to Ari. Tony had recently arrived back at work whilst still recovering from the pneumonic plague, then had also nearly gotten blown up after saving Kate and McGee from a wired car, this was after he had tripped his way down a rocky hill and kicked to the floor by Kate after pretending to save her from a poisonous snake.

They were now at the top of the building where they had just had a pretty major shoot out and Kate had been shot at point blank range but luckily her vest had taken the bullet. McGee was still down on the ground by the car waiting for orders from Gibbs on what to do next and if they had taken down the man inside the building who had just been shooting at him.

Tony rubbed the back of his neck "You did a good job Kate" He ached, he wouldn't normally feel this shit but it had been an extremely rough couple of weeks and right now all he could think about was going home to a hot shower, meat feast pizza and a beer, followed by watching a Clint Eastwood film in bed. Of course normally he would have pictured a woman in this scenario but he was too exhausted to please any woman tonight, give it another couple of days.

Gibbs laughed and turned to Kate "You know for once DiNozzo's right".

Kate smiled, first time I have ever heard that.

Tony let out a brief smile whilst scanning the rest of the building tops. He noticed something far in the distance.

"I thought I'd be dead before I ever heard that" Kate jokingly replied to Gibb's comment.

Tony realised what it was he could see, he could just about make out a dark haired man with a rifle, aiming straight towards them. SHIT.

Gibbs and Kate both turned to look at Tony when she finished her sentence and at the same moment Tony bent his knees slightly and leaped from his position into the air knocking both Gibbs and Kate to the floor.

Kate landed on top of Gibbs, who moaned with pain, and quickly rolled away after taking in the initial shock of being swept from her feet.

"DINOZZO!!!! What the hell are you doing?" Kate shouted climbing back to her feet and wiping her trousers and top from gravel and dirt, she turned to look at Tony and she stood still and her mind fell blank. Her forehead gained lines as she frowned, her eyes moved frantically over what she was seeing. She was speechless, shocked, worried, she couldn't understand what she was seeing, if it was in her mind or if it was real.

Gibbs who had smacked his head pretty hard on the gravel rolled to his side regaining realisation on what had happened and looked at Tony who was lying next to him, body still, blood oozing from his side of his body where the bullet proof vest was thin, eyes so wide he was able to see the white all around the edge, dribbles of blood coming from the side of his mouth, he looked lifeless, he looked dead.
