Chapter Twenty-Eight
'Aurora how are you,' he smiled at her.
'I'm good, yourself?' she asked him. She appeared relaxed and calm but she was anything but.
'Fine fine, ' he knew he had to make small talk
'Excellent, how are things with the case?' she askd him. She knew he was making small talk, knew what he was doing.
'Going no where fast but at least we maybe can have a successful conclusion to your investigation,'
'Lets hope,' she said. 'What info do you have for me?' she asked.
'Hopefully something that can help,' he said, reaching into his pocket. Aurora asking for the information was the signal for the person above to shoot.
At that exact moment Aurora sensed something was wrong and she dived out of the way just as a shot rang out.
The bullet put a hole in the wall in line with where Aurora was standing not 2 second ago. She rolled out of the way, gun in hand.
At that moment the warehouse erupted in gunfire as her back up came charging in.
'Fuck,' Barry growled. He could hear running above him and there was no way he was going anywhere without a fight.
'Drop the gun asshole,' a cold and deadly voice from behind him snarled. 'Now.'
'Fuck off DiNozzo,' Barry growled.
'I don't think so. Now drop the gun or I will shoot.' He was close behind him and Barry, who was on the floor, used the advantage. He moved to put his gun aside but while Tony was watching that, Barry swung his leg out, causing the younger man to fall. DiNozzo landed with a thump on the floor but he never lost control of his gun and he heard Gibbs bellow his name.
'Fucken bastard,' Tony growled. He had lost sight of Aurora but he had Barry. 'Drop the gun you piece of shit or I'll fucken blow your brains out from here back to Vegas where you should be,'
'Don't count on it asshole,' DiNozzo growled. He could hear gunshots getting let off in other areas of the warehouse and flinched, not liking that he didn't know here Aurora was.
'Oh I'm fairly sure about that actually. I mean we're each got a weapon trained on the other but if it came down to it I'd back myself.'
'Over confidence was always your weak point,' Tony said. 'Aurora told me that once,'
'Oh really? That would have been nice interesting pillow talk.'
'Jealous?' Tony asked. He noticed Aurora sneaking up on Barry and had to keep him distracted. It was better to take him alive then dead.
'Of you? I don't think so.'
'Oh come on Barry, you always had the hots for Aurora, don't lie,' Tony shook his head.
'Well that's a lie but you should be thankful that I didn't because you'd have lost her in a heart beat. I would have shown her what a real man could do for her.'
'Why were you going to get me to come and visit?' Tony snarled.
'Just shut up and shoot him DiNozzo.' Gibbs was thinking from his vantage point as he watched what was unfolding
'Oh you think you are so damn smart don't you,' Barry snarled as an arm went around his neck and Tony rolled sideways away from the shot that discharged
'Drop the gun,' Aurora growled at him before she reached around, cracking Barrys wrist and making the gun fall to the ground and she kicked it away. She knocked his legs from under him in a swift movement. Barry went down with a grunt at the feet of Tony who was now standing,
'You okay?' he asked Aurora
She nodded, grabbing the cuffs and leaned down to cuff Barry.
'Shouldn't have switched sides "partner",' sarcasm dripped from the word partner.
'Bitch,' came the snarled reply. 'It aint over until the fat lady sings... and she hasn't sung yet'
'You're on the ground in cuffs and your little friends are too,' she said. 'I'd say the fat lady has completed her performance and is already at the wrap party,'
At that moment she heard Tony scream her name, felt herself being knocked sideways and then hit the ground and more gunfire roared and she rolled over just in time to see a man fall from his upstairs hiding spot and land on the concrete below with a splat, she heard Gibbs and Cait yell Tony's name and come running and she saw Tony lying on the ground obviously shot by the man he'd just killed. Shot saving her life.
