After talking for about three hours the team decided it was time to head out to the Housing Projects, when they arrived all they found was one broken down house next to where the projects had been. Each looked at each other and a few minutes before Gibbs finally spoke, "Shall we?" and he got out of the car heading to the door alone gun still in his holster walking into the house Dinozzo and Todd saw him be taken into shadow.
"Well I guess we should follow him huh?" Tony suggested getting out of the car and heading towards the door as he did so he took a step back fear intruding upon his thoughts...'This is the house...' His hands immediately went to his gun and he walked into the house searching it slowly only when he came to the stars did he stop and wonder what he was doing here...slowly he made his way to the landing and his green eyes fell down to the bottom. He saw Gibbs and then the glint of a gun barrel he heard the cock of a hammer and he leapt blindly at Gibbs. The last thing he heard was the sound of a gun shot and then he felt searing pain in his back as he fell to the ground a groan escaping his mouth.
"Well if we can't kill one of you we will kill the one you love Gibbs...remember this...and remember this well!" three more shots were fired hitting Tony in the back he laid on the ground seemingly unmoving but his hands were groping for the gun beneath him, as he felt the grip he pulled it out from beneath him and fired twice he heard a groan and then silence as something thudded against the ground.
"Dinozzo! Dinozzo hang on!" Gibbs roared as he turned him over holding the young agent in his arms. A soft gurgling noise escaped Tony's throat as his body began to trimble. He felt the blood trickle from his back as he finally opened his eyes a hand fell on Gibbs shoulder and he spoke weakly.
"Take...care...of...her..." he got out between deep ragged breaths, his body fell limp as he laid in Gibbs arms and slowly fell into the deepest sleep of all.
"Dinozzo?! Damnit Tony...no..." Gibbs held him and watched as his breathing stopped and the young agent fell limp a lone tear fell down his cheek as he heard a soft voice behind him.
"No...No he can't be..." Kate fell to her knees hands covering her face as she began to cry. Gibbs closed Tony's eyes then slowly lowered him. Removing his phone he called an ambulance.
Note: This is not done...look for the final chapters and epilouge later...
