Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS. Yet.

Okay. So I know this is a very short chapter. It's incredibly difficult to describe a gunfight.

And to be honest I really hate this chapter. So I'm sorry.

Enjoy. If you can.

And please review. Tell me what you think.


The door burst open with immense force and reflexively Tony pulled the trigger on his gun, killing the man standing in the doorway. It only took half a second for the man behind him to jump over his body and fire at Tony. Tony leapt out of the way to avoid the bullet and Gibbs shot the man dead. The NCIS agents had the upper hand because they just had to shoot at the doorway to kill the men coming in, but after they had shot four of the men, they came in on mass. Tony shot another man dead and turned to see Lee throw a knife straight into a man's chest. Her skills had definitely improved since he last saw them. The fight continued until the ground was littered with the bodies of Daegan's men. Tony sighed with relief, but it was short lived. He was yanked back and felt a gun pressed to the back of his neck. Apparently, one of Daegan's men was still alive. This is it. Tony thought.

"If I'm going down I'm taking you with me." The man hissed in his ear. Tony closed his eyes and prepared himself. Suddenly the grip loosened and Tony turned around. Palmer was standing there looking at the man at his feet. Tony looked down and saw a long sword through the man's chest.

"Nice work, Jimmy." Tony laughed.

Palmer managed a small smile. "I guess."

Gibbs took control of the situation. "Lee, McGee." He said, "go make sure there's no-one else upstairs."

McGee and Lee grabbed a gun each and exited the room.

"Tony!"

"Yeah, boss?"

"Check on Z-"

Tony gasped. Ziva! He ran to where he had left her, removing the boxes quickly. He picked her up and took her back to where Gibbs and the other agents were. Tony's makeshift bandage was completely soaked through and Ziva's skin had gone clammy.

"Gibbs!" Tony said desperately, "she needs help now."

Gibbs nodded as McGee and Lee returned.

"There's no-one else up there." McGee said, "but there will still be men outside the building."

Gibbs sighed. "Okay." He said, "get Ziva upstairs and bandage her shoulder again."

Tony nodded and picked Ziva up, leaving the room.

Gibbs turned to the other agents. "Bring the weapons and any first-aid equipment up."

All the agents nodded and began grabbing things and taking them upstairs.

Gibbs nodded to Abby and McGee. "Abs, McGee, with me."

They looked confused, but followed Gibbs upstairs.

"I want you two to plan an escape route." Gibbs said, before glancing at Ziva's motionless body, "quickly."

McGee looked at Abby. Planning an escape from a government agency that was surrounded by armed guards had to be impossible.

Abby allowed a sly smile. "Let's do this."


A/N: I warned you. Review. Hopefully the next chapters will be better. Sorry.
