Chapter seven-One Shot and it's the end

McGee stood there, Ari's eyes locked with his, dead bolt. Neither one of them dared to move an inch as the other tried to figure out his moves. McGee's fingers tightened on the trigger, ready to pull if necessary. Ari knew what would happen. "You don't really intend to shoot me do you Agent McGee?" "I will if I think necessary." He tried so hard to sound like he was this big tough guy, but inside he was squirming with terror. "You shoot me and you deny your team mate, little Catlin, who Desmond Delati truly is." Ari's eyes held nothing but darkness. Like he couldn't escape it. McGee tried to quickly think of what he could do to distract him. Taking a big risk he took a step to the left, towards the bed.

"You mean to tell me it's not a code name, but a person?" He asked, wondering where in the hell Gibb's was. "Sure. I'm surprised Agent Gibbs hasn't had you do your homework yet." "Oh he was supposed to have done that homework." Gibb's voice called out from behind McGee. Not daring to turn his head around, McGee stepped off to the side, gun still locked on Ari. "Well well Gibbs. Nice to see you finally here."

Kate and Tony

Kate and Tony wandered around the grounds of the hotel before stepping in. A loud buzzing sound came from Tony's pants. A nearby kid, around the age of 13 remarked. "Your pants are ringing sir." Before running off with his skateboard. Tony fished it out of his pocket. "Tony. We're on our way!" He replied before closing his cell and making his way up explaining to Kate on the way.

HOTEL

Time seemed to stand still until the moment when Tony and Kate barged into their hotel room, guns pointed outward, and glancing between the dark-haired terrorist, the newest agent, and the silver haired-head honcho. "Ah. Catlin. Finally you have arrived. Now perhaps you can tell these men what might've happened." Ari spoke, gun locked on McGee, eyes on Kate. "I don't know what your talking about." Kate gasped, hands steady but mind shaking. "You don't remember your sister telling you about a strange man, and how you should've checked him out? Oh but wait. You did. You killed him didn't you.?" Gibbs's crystal blue eyes, darted between Ari and Kate, clearly having no idea what was going on, which of course, made him more agitated than normal. "Y…yes." Kate shuddered. "Only you attacked the wrong man, because I may be hard, but I killed your sister. She knew too much about everything. It had to be done. I'm sorry Catlin."

Tony stood still, mouth open wide in amazement. "You bastard." Never had words sounded so cold from Kate's mouth. One shot could end this all. One shot from Ari, would end McGee. One shot from Kate, McGee, Gibbs, or Tony could end Ari. McGee's mind seem to dart all around. Was he going to get killed? Shot? Hurt in any way?

Suddenly, Ari's gun turned, with the reflexes of a cat and sent a spiraling bullet towards Tony's leg. The bullet spun with intensity till it lodged itself into his flesh hard. He cried out as he pulled the trigger accidentally, that bullet going through the glass window next to Ari. As soon as Ari had fired his, Gibbs wasted no time in firing his. Ari dropped down, collapsing on the floor.

Gibbs walked over to his limp body lying by the window, lying on shards from Tony's bullet. He knelt down and took his weapon away, sliding it towards the corner of the room. McGee made a few calls for Ducky and an ambulance for Tony and joined Gibbs. Kate knelt by Tony's side, tying her jacket around his leg to keep the pressure.

"DiNozzo. I still expect you back at work tomorrow." Gibbs said walking into the hospital room Tony was in. Kate was sitting in a chair by the bed holding his hand. "Not a second later boss." Tony said, smiling. Giving Tony's leg a little pat, he walked out, only to find himself looking at Kate and Tony, talking and laughing. Fishing out his cell from his long black jacket pocket, he flipped it open, dialed a number, heard the phone ringing and waited. Through the window he saw Kate get her cell phone, give him a look from the window, and answer the phone.

Tony listened intently, not understanding what was going on. He could hear Gibb's light breathing for a minute. He looked through the window and noticed Gibbs giving a small smile, but it was like he knew a secret, and like he was going to make them pay for something. Tony saw his lips move, and didn't have to hear Gibbs say it from the speaker that Kate set her phone on, or saw her shocked expression to know that he held the same look. "Now…about rule 12."
