Chapter 6:
McGee's POV:
The next few days had passed by silently, Ncis was on high alert now, the Mossad agents were captured by Gibbs and Jenny but none of them would talk, mainly because they had that training in Mossad not to break in interrogation, me and Ziva stayed in the safe house, it was quiet, me and Ziva spent time talking about our lives, she helped comfort me about my guilt and anger over Tony and Kate, I felt complete with her, like nothing could break me, little did I know that everything was coming to a head, soon Mossad had placed their plans into action, it was time for the final fight to begin.
Ziva!" I called out to her, I was standing in the room waiting for her to finish in the shower, we were due at Ncis 10 minutes ago, Jenny called us in on code omega, meaning full lockdown and agent recall for action, and I loaded my sig and placed it in my holster.
"Ziva, hurry up we are late!" I called out again louder.
"Keep your pants on McGee" she called back as the shower stopped.
I chuckled softly mumbling softly "I'd rather rip yours off" I chuckled when she shouted from behind the door "what was that?" and I burst out laughing.
She came out and gave me a confused look before heading back in and locking the door "I am nearly done" the sound of the door knocking drew me out of my laughter and my hand went instantly to my gun, I went to the window and saw it was an Ncis agent, it was jack. I smiled and opened the door "hey Jack" I greeted and he smiled "McGee" he clapped my hand in his shook slowly "how's the safe house treating you" I mumbled to him "it's a pain in the ass" he chuckled nodding his head "yeah, I know the feeling" I had known jack for years, we went to the same college together, he had always been the one to help me when I needed it, he gave me a smile and handed me a bear, I smiled and raised it to his, the soft tap of glass sounded in my ear, I gave him a confused look "didn't Director Shepherd recall all agents on lockdown" I asked and he nodded replying "I wanted to make sure you and miss David was ok" he offered me a smile but I was in a state of shock, nobody knew I was here with Ziva, it was on a strict rule since Mossad had agents on the inside of Ncis to be kept between me, Gibbs and Jenny, Jack knew and that could only mean one thing, I placed the beer on the table and turned to him, he saw the look on my face and then everything stopped, nobody moved for a few seconds, what would happen next was not going to be easy.
Readers POV:
McGee and Jack stood there for a few seconds, McGee's anger was slowly building, suddenly jack moved for his gun, McGee dived and rolled forward towards Jack, McGee he had brought his fist into Jacks gut making him drop his gun, Jack grabbed the beer bottle and smashed it across McGee's face, he fell back and groaned in pain as Jack made his way forward to his gun but McGee kicked his feet out from under him sending him falling and hitting his head on the table, McGee had got up and grabbed the smashed bottle that was hit across his head and stuck it into Jacks leg who howled in pain as blood spurted from the wound, McGee grabbed Jacks shoulder and pulled him up and put jack in a choke hold, "why do it?!" McGee asked angrily, he and Jack had been friends for ages, "I had no choice, they were going to kill me" the anger raised inside McGee "you betrayed Ncis!" McGee tightened his arm Jacks neck, cutting the air from his lungs "Please McGee, we are like brothers" he gasped out as McGee's choke hold was tightening "your no brother, Tony Dinozzo was my brother!" and with that Jacks Neck snapped and McGee stood up, the anger leaving him as he stood over a former friend and fellow agent, the feeling of something cold and wet running down the side of his face, he brought a hand to his face and sighed softly, he was cut from the glass and he walked slowly to the sofa.
McGee's POV:
Ziva!" I called out to her and she answered immediately "McGee!" she screamed running over to me from the shower room and I gave her a sad smile, I looked over at the body as she worked on the wound, I smiled to myself feeling proud and at the same time guilty, but in the end it was me or him, and with Ziva with me, it would be them all the time.
I gasped and hissed in pain as she took care of the wound and I felt her hand move across my head slowly. I looked at her our eyes locked instantly, I moved a hand to her hair and brushed it slowly, her head tilted against my hand and I moved in slowly, she leaned in too; our faces were inches apart when the phone pinged and I grumbled to myself reading the text as she giggled to herself. it wasn't long till we began to drive towards Ncis, everything was now starting, the guard ran to their leaders for orders and they took up defensive posts around the court yard, Mossad was now attacking, but the question remained, from where.
It took 5 hours to locate where they were operating, which was the old abandoned warehouse districted, the satellite overview we had gave us the image of them loading a missile on the roof of the south east warehouse, they were going to destroy us from a distance, fucking cowards.
Jenny contacted the marines and they sent a special unit to join us in a joint operation, I grabbed my MP5 submachine gun and loaded up, Ziva looked at me with a sad smile.
"You ok Ziva?" I asked softly with a smile.
She shrugged to me and looked down "I am just worried about you McGee" she muttered and I held my arms out to her and she giggled and walked to me, I wrapped my arms around her tight and kissed her head softly, she moaned as we held each over close.
I pulled back "I promise to come back for you" she nodded to me and giggled as a tear fell down her cheek.
I walked away and stopped suddenly "Ziva!" I turned to her and she gave me a curious look "I-I-I" I tried hard and I face palmed myself making her giggle "keep yourself safe" I told her and she nodded to me "you too Timothy" I smiled bright before turning to the choppers and walking away, this is one war I was determined to win.
Ziva's POV:
It has been a few hours since McGee and the others left, we watched in MTAC as the battle unfolded before us, my heart sped up as I watch McGee try to stop the missile that was now on course with Ncis, suddenly everyone left in the chopper fast as McGee stayed behind, what was he doing, my question was soon answered when the missile changed course and was returning to its launch site, everything slowed down and then the screen went white when the missile impacted with the warehouse obliterating it completely "McGee!" I screamed loud, but no reply, so far Ncis was winning, but so far McGee was the only casualty, when word came through that Eli David and his men had arrived in the yard with his men, my heart pounded and my anger raged inside me and with that I walked away from MTAC, now I was going to kill the man responsible for this, I was going to Kill Eli David.
McGee's POV:
"EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE!" I bellowed loud to the marines and the agents the Mossad agents had put up a hell of a fight, I was out of my MP5 rounds and I was now reprogramming the Missiles target as the marines had dealt with the remaining Mossad operatives, it was all I could do to stop it, there was no time for me to escape from the blast, as the choppers left I hit the button and the missile began to change course and soon I could see it, it was coming straight at the warehouse I was standing on, I turned and began to run as fast as I could, I needed to get off this roof fast before it was too late, I looked back and soon the missile impacted and the force sent me spiralling into the water, everything was blurred to me, the sound of the water filling my ears and my eyes stung, couldn't move, my mind flashed of all the things in my life that had happened, Tony and Kate was the last, there they were, holding hands in front of me, I could reach out to them but they shook their heads, and soon I sent flying back into reality, and reality was, I was going to fucking drown! I swam as hard and fast as I could until I breached the surface and coughed and spluttered violently, I crawled back onto land and fell back into a head of motionless limbs, my breathing was slowly returning to normal.
I twisted my body till I was on my back staring at the sky, I felt the anger leave my body completely as I let it all go, the anger and hatred was gone from me, I looked around the area, I saw the Mossad unmarked chopper sitting comfortably a few yards away, I smiled and stood up and slowly limped my way slowly towards it. Soon I was in the air making my way back to Ncis and I saw that Ncis was smoking 'Ziva!' my brain screamed as my chopper went in closer and I saw Ziva and Eli in the midst of a fight to the death, Eli had a knife in his hand and Ziva was unarmed, she ducked and dived from his attacks, I needed to get down there.
I lowered the Chopper onto the street outside the base and I ran inside firing my sig at the enemies in my way, Michael walked slowly towards me, oh shit this was going to be tough, "it was nice of you to come back to die with your friends" he said smugly and I smirked back "no, I came back to stop you" my brain thought to itself 'dude, total dark night rises moment' huh I guess the geek in me wasn't fully dead after all, and with that I attacked.
Readers POV:
McGee and Michael battled violently against each over, they were both on equal ground in technique but Michael had the advantage in experience, McGee brought his one arm up to block and used the other to retaliate, Michael did the same, a few times McGee dropped his guard to see if Ziva was ok, she was still battling Eli who was bloodied and bruised, Ziva was the same, blood dripped from her nose and her cheek was bruised too, Michael had got 4 good hits when McGee was distracted but soon recovered and fought hard, Ziva spotted McGee and she smiled at him, he was busy fighting Michael and she turned to Eli with a new purpose, to fight and win, Eli looked at her and gulped, she advanced and he advanced to her and soon they were both in the fight which he was slowly losing, she brought her hand to his nose and blood splattered down his suit and then she jumped and smashed her food against his face and he howled in pain, her back was now turned to him as he ran at her, she drew her knife and gripped it tight as she brought it round and the blade sank into his skull, his eyes widened and blood poured down his head, she pulled it free and he fell into a motionless heap of flash and bone, the sky shined bright on her and the clouds morphed into the shape of her father's face smiling down on her, a tear fell and she looked over to McGee who was now on the ground gripping his rips as Michael stood over him with a gun in his hands, time slowed down as Ziva span round and through the knife at Michael, the knife flew through the air and impaled in Michael's eyes, she smiled softly to McGee who looked at her with a shocked expression and he gave her his famous grin that made her giggle softly as she made her way to him.
McGee's POV:
I looked at the motionless heap of Michael and Eli on the floor, I smiled to Ziva who took my hand in hers and leaned in and I pulled her close fast and planted the biggest kiss on her lips, she gasped and kissed back eagerly, the sun beat down on us as we pulled from the kiss breathless and leaned our head against the other, we pulled back and in the distance we saw the smiling faces of Tony, Kate and Ziva's adoptive father who was watching us proudly one last time before fading from us forever. The battle was over and we had one, Mossad was now gone and Ncis was wrecked but in the end it didn't matter to us, we had each over. Gibbs and Jenny watched us happily as we held each over close, they looked worse for wear but I knew they were fine.
"I love you Ziva" I whispered to her
"I love you too Timothy" she replied as a tear fell down her cheek.
