CHAPTER TEN
An: Thanks for al those reviews. I'm glad you all still like the story. Sorry it took so long but I had to prepare some of my exams…
Knock knock
Kate rubbed her eyes before she stood up and went to door. "Who is it" Kate said while looking through the little hole in her apartment door. She had her gun in her hand just to be safe.
"Pizza delivery boy." In the meantime Tony had joined her and asked in signs if she saw who it was. She whispered it wasn't her normal delivery guy but it wasn't David either.
"We didn't order anything" Tony responded. "I know, It's from a guy named Mcgee. He thought you'd be hungry. A smile appeared on Tony's face. "Just a minute"
Tony picked up his cell and called Mcgee to verify the story. Kate waited impatiently for Tony to put down the phone and enlighten her. "It's okay. Mcgee did order for us. He's outside holding watch" Kate let out a sigh and opened the door. She accepted the pizza while Tony paid. "Ehm the man in the car said you'd pay for his pizza as well." Tony smiled and shook his head "I'm going to get you for this probie" he said and paid the boy for Mcgee's food.
Outside Mcgee saw a man walking straight to him with something in his hand. When he reached the car he knocked on the window. "hey, I'm sorry to disturb you but I'm not from around here and I'm incredibly lost. Could you please tell me how to reach this street here. (he showed a name on a map). Mcgee rolled down his window but before he knew it he was knocked unconscious. "too easy" David said and ran into Kate's apartment.
Again they were disturbed by a knock on the door. Both looked uncertain and insecure. "Who could that be, it's 4 o' clock." Kate shook her head, telling Tony she had no idea so she asked who it was. "It's the delivery boy again. I gave back the wrong change." "That's okay" Tony responded but the boy insisted on giving it back.
"Could you get it Kate, I really need to go the bathroom." She nodded and waited for a kiss from her lover before she opened the door. But when she opened the door she noticed the sweat running down the boy's face. He wasn't as comfortable as he was before. From that point she knew something was wrong, but it was too late. David appeared from behind the boy's back with a gun in his hand. "Drop the gun or the boy dies" David orders Kate. In order to safe his life, she puts down her gun. David is a man of his word and lets the boy go.
Kate can feel her heart skip a few beats so did Tony's heart. He had heard the whole thing and called Gibbs for assistance.
"If you want your girl to survive, you better show yourself. Really Tony don't bother to hide, I know you're here." Tony could hear David remove the safety. He took a few breaths, then stepped into the living room. He saw his ex friend holding a gun to his girlfriend's head.
"Deja- vous" David smiled. "Tony, Tony, Tony. You didn't think you could get rid of me, did you? I still need my revenge."
Tony asked in a terrified voice to let Kate go but David wouldn't go in on his request. "You don't need her, take me." A tear tolled down his face
"Are you crying Tony? That's sweet."
Tony wasn't the only one, Kate let a few tears roll down her face as well. Then she smiled and winked at Tony, causing him to shake his head. Kate hit David in the ribs with her elbow causing him to lose his grip. Tony ran towards them and jumped on David causing them to fall. They struggled for the gun which Kate was able to retrieve. She pointed to gun at them but she had no clear shot, so there wasn't much she could do but to wait for backup.
David seemed to have the upper hand but Tony fought his way back. Both were driven by rage, a powerful emotion.
By the time Gibbs arrived, Tony had David, who was able to get his hands on a knife, in his sight, ready to shoot him. "Drop the knife David, it's really over. Drop it"
"Tony is right, drop the knife." Gibbs yelled, backing up his partner. Then he turned to Kate asking her to go and check up on Mcgee.
Kate looked down at Mcgee who was slowly regaining consciousness. "Where am I" Mcgee asked confused, rubbing the back of his head. He looked at his hand and saw blood." What happened? Kate?"
"You were knocked out, but you're going to be okay, the medics are on the way." She tried to reassure him and helped him onto his feet. "Where's Gibbs"
"He's upstairs with Tony and David." "David?"
"Yeah, we have him. He's.." Gunshots interrupted her conversation. She looked up in fear only to see that her apartment had turned dark.
