Chapter two
NCIS-Revenge for Ari
B & W teaser-Gibbs is kneeling over an unconscious DiNozzo with his gun drawn wondering what is going on.
Ziva calls over Gibbs and he looks inside and responds, "Well…it looks like we found our missing Mar-"
Gibbs is cutoff when gunfire erupts from a patch of woods about 500 yards away. All the agents duck and draw their weapons. The police lieutenant is shot in the neck. The other two deputies' are killed as well.
"DiNozzo, cover me. I'm going to circle around." Gibbs orders.
"You got it boss!" He responds.
The person shooting is a sniper, locking his target on the burned out car where Tony and Ziva have taken cover behind. One of the bullets comes close to Tony's head. He notices a barn nearby.
"McGee, we need better cover. We're heading to your 20."
McGee, who has taken cover behind the NCIS van, is still cover Gibbs. The sniper doesn't seem to know where Gibbs is, but continues fire.
DiNozzo and David run for the barn as the sniper shoots and nearly hits Ziva in the leg. Both of the agent dive into the barn through the slightly open door.
Gibbs circles around to where the sniper is. The shooting suddenly stops. Gibbs sees a figure running off in the distance. He tries to aim but it is too far away for him to get a clean shot. He comes up on the sniper and finds him dead. He looks as though he has been executed. Gibbs then turns, and runs back to help his team.
In the barn, Tony finds himself separated from Ziva. He whispers, "Ziva, where are you?"
"Shhh!" she responds, as she is behind a crate and ahead or Tony. He then move forward and hears voices. There are two terrorists guarding a hidden door in the floor of the barn.
The two agents s move slowly toward the guards but then they hear something behind them. Another guard pistol-whips Tony in the left temple. Ziva gets up and tries to fight off the third guard. The other two come over and one takes out a hand clothe and chloroforms Ziva until she's unconscious. Tony sees what happens until his vision blurs and he passes out.
McGee not knowing where anyone is call on his wrist radio, "Boss…where are you?"
Gibbs comes up from behind McGee scaring him. "I'm right here, McGee. Where's Tony and Ziva."
"Uh…they ran toward the barn for better cover. But, I haven't heard anything since the sniper stopped. Did you get him?"
"Someone got him." Gibbs responds.
"He's dead."
"Yeah. Someone got to him before I did."
Gibbs sees the fallen troopers and is slightly overcome for the one whom he served with.
"Let's find DiNozzo before he gets into trouble."
The two agents cautiously approach the barn door with their nine millimeters drawn. Gibbs signals for him to go in and has McGee follow. Gibbs then goes in and ducks behind a crate. Then he looks around and heads forward as McGee enters. Gibbs sees Tony on the ground. he runs up to him and checks his neck pulse. He sighs and looks around for Ziva and wonders what is going on.
