NCIS
Revenge for Ari final chapter
chapter 22
B & W teaser- Jen and Gibbs looking concerned
As Morgan and McCormick run the scene, McGee is taking pictures of the scene. Ziva enters the burned out building and walks around to a separate room that is not badly damaged. She finds Tony's badge, ID, wallet and gun. She breaks down knowing what has become of him and her father. Gibbs comes in and calms her.
"Go home, Ziva. Get some rest." Gibbs says.
"I-I can do this..."
"That wasn't a suggestion." Gibbs says. "We can do this."
She agrees and heads out.
Gibbs walks into the room where all of the action happened.
He remembers Tony saying "Go Jethro!" as her looks a the burned bodies.
Jen comes in and is donning NCIS field gear. She walks up to Gibbs and says, "We'll get the Jethro."
He looks at her with a concerned look and a brief look of sadness, and then walks out the main door.
Abby is in her lab and has just received the sad news. She is sobbing and shaking as she is sitting at her desk.
McGee come in with the first evidence of the crime scene.
"Abby?" he asks.
She can't respond and then blurts out, "Why? Why Timmy! First Kate and now Tony? What did we do to deserve this..."
McGee goes to hug her as she breaks down completely.
Gibbs is outside watching the other agents run the scene. Jen comes out and says, "Ducky says there are three bodies inside. Was one of them the mole?"
"Yeah. It was David."
"Deputy Director David?" she responds.
"Yeah. He set the whole thing up to ..."
"Go back to the lab. Where almost done here. I'll meet you in autopsy."
Gibbs responds and he heads to a car and speeds off.
Gibbs enters the wardroom where Abby and McGee are waiting. Abby goes to hug Gibbs and he can see that she has been crying.
"What do ya got Tim?" he asks.
"Uh...Morgan and McCormick took some bomb fragments to the lab and Kellie is working on them We also have the weapons, but they are burned so we won't have DNA evidence to link the terrorist group to the mole."
"Good work McGee. I'll be in autopsy."
Gibbs enters the elevator and hit the down button. He rubs his eyes and wonders what is going on.
"You know. You could have saved me. You would have only had to give you own life, and Ziva's." Tony image appears behind Gibbs.
"You told me not to." he responds.
"You feel guilty for leaving me there. You know you could have stopped this before. But you let Ari kill Kate."
Gibbs turns around and stares but there is no one there. The elevator doors open and he enter autopsy.
"What do you have Duck?"
"A mystery. The is Director David?"
"Yeah."
"Well." he heads over the the video screen and shows Gibbs a DNA comparison.
"He only has to common factor with Ari's blood."
"You saying that Ari wasn't his son."
"Well that could be true. He could be a nephew, or..."
"Or that bastard IS STILL alive!" Gibbs walks out pissed off more than ever.
He punches the elevator button when he notices someone. It is Ziva sitting in the corner staring into space.
"Ziva...I told you to go home."
"I had to be near him. Be near them both."
Gibbs finally remembers what was bothering him. "Three bodies?"
"Three. There should be five." Ziva corrects as she stands up.
Gibbs and Ziva enter the room and asks, "Where are the bodies?"
"They're in the cooler, Agent Gibbs." Palmer says.
"You said you found three of them."
"Yes, three males. One of whom..."
"There should be five. One was a women."
Gibbs goes over to the other bodies and looks at them.
"These aren't Tony."
"How can you know?" Ziva asks.
"My gut!"
He leaves to find out where Tony is.
Morgan is at home recovering from the day. He got his boss kidnapped and killed. He was shot by rubber bullets and has a horrible headache. He walks into his kitchen and it iadark the he is grabbed from behind. It is Marashi.
"I want to know the mole's name."
"It was David." he struggle to say.
"You lie. It is someone on your team! Who!"
"I don't know..."
"Tell them Agent DiNozzo is safe, for now."
She releases him and leaves. He quickly grabs his phone and calls. McCormick picks up and takes the info down.
Gibbs enters, and asks, "Anything to report."
"No, sir. Nothing yet on the location of Agent DiNozzo."
"I'm going for coffee. I'll be back in an hour."
"Anything, McGee."
"Yeah I was checking Tony's computer and found this. It is a report of a boating accident off Cape Cod. There where two killed in the explosion. They're names are DiNozzo!"
"Tony parents!" Abby chimes in as she has just entered.
"Oh my God. He was set up to go to the scene."
"Someone wanted Tony. Not Gibbs!" Ziva enters and says.
"Where is he?"
"He went home. He wasn't feeling good." McCormick says, lying again.
Ziva, McGee and Abby leave to head to Gibbs house.
McCormick get up and grabs his gun and heads to the coffee shop Gibbs went to.
Gibbs exits the coffee house and looks around. He was here once and met Ari. Now he looks to the table and sees someone else that is familiar. It is Marashi. She is sitting at a table reading a newspaper.
Gibbs walks over and says, "I thought you were dead."
She reveals her flack vest, and the bullet hole from Director David. "Never leave home without it."
Gibbs sit and asks, "Why are you here?"
"I want the mole. And don't tell me it was Director David. I know it is a member of your team."
"Who?"
"Someone with a lot to gain from DiNozzo and your deaths."
"Ziva wouldn't gain anything. Neither would McGee or Abby. Ducky is just a ME. Palmer couldn't be a mole if was given instruction on how to do it. My bet would be someone high up."
"Director Shepard."
"Yeah. She could have done."
"She did learn from the best."
Gibbs agrees and then asks, "Where's Tony?"
"Safe, and resting. It was a flesh wound. I took care of it."
"Your a doctor."
"Field trauma nurse. I learned from the best."
"Mossaud."
"Yes."
Gibbs then gets around to the real question, "Who do you think it is?"
"You!" she says as she point her weapon at him.
Gibbs responds but hears a gun cock behind him. It is McCormick.
"You?"

Ziva, Abby and McGee are in a car heading to Gibbs house.
McGee receives a phone call. It's Morgan and he says Tony is alive.
"Tony's alive!" McGee says.
"He's alive!" Abby responds.
Ziva then does a 180 in the car and heads back.
"Where are you going?"
"Gibbs isn't home."
"How d-"
"My gut!"
The coffee house patron have scrambles at the sight of two people with guns and Gibbs in the middle of it.
"It was easy to infiltrate NCIS. The only one I couldn't keep ahead of was you Agent Gibbs."
"Yeah. Why'd you do it?" Gibbs asks.
"For money. Power. Control. A Hammas terrorist at the heart of a government agency. What more could be-"
"No. Why did you sell out your country? Your life?"
They hear another gun cock. "Because he isn't Hammas."
"DiNozzo."
"Gibbs."
"He a rouge agent. Director Shepard wanted me to hire him because he had too many unanswered questions from his last post."
"So you did what exactly?"
"The abduction of Officer David. The shot at Agent Fornell. Setting up DiNozzo for being ambushed. The murder of his parents."
A car speeds up and stops. Ziva and McGee come out with weapons drawn.
"I knew he wasn't being truthful."
"You are a traitor to Massoud. Both of you!" McCormick yells as he tries to point his weapon at himself. Gibbs, Tony, McGee and Ziva take him down.
"You are under arrest for espionage, kidnapping, murder, and interfering with a government investigation."
"You should kill me. I'll never stand trial!" McCormick yells.
Ziva spits on him and swears in Hebrew.
They all help Tony and take him to the hospital.
Gibbs is staring out the window of the hospital.
"Good work Jethro." Jen says as she walks over to him.
"At what cost. Too many people died for this."
"We'll get justice. He was using Ari as bait to infiltrate NCIS. He was going to his own agenda. He has no ties to Al Queida or Hammas or any other group. The anti-government group is something he made up to get us off his trail. Abby and Kellie found his embedded search program in out computer system."
"He used all of us. If I hadn't come back he'd be in charge of NCIS."
"Yes. We stopped him. Don't feel you let anyone down."
She leaves and Ziva comes up.
"Yeah." Gibbs says.
"Thank you. You have cleared my father in this. Although he was a bastard, he didn't have anything to do with this."
Gibbs remains silent.
"There is still the question if Ari was my brother. He was, at least to me. That is all that matters."
She begins to walk away and Gibbs responds, "I'm sorry. For your father and..."
She breaks down and he hugs her as she feels closer to this team. Although her family is gone she has a new one:The team at NCIS.
