Chapter 4
Channel Ten
x-x-x Tony's POV x-x-x
Tony had been sitting in his room at the hotel by himself for an hour before he decided to turn on the TV. He had the choice of the news on channels Seven and Nine or The Simpsons on channel Ten. Thinking that the news would depress him further he decided to watch The Simpsons.
Tony was watching eagerly. It was his favourite episode.
The ads came on and there was a news update. Tony picked up the remote to change the channel but stopped when he saw a picture of a plane with NCIS written on it.
"Hello Australia, I am Bill Woods and we have breaking news! There has been a shooting at Canberra airport at 5:30pm today. The pilot of a private NCIS plane has been killed and one of the two passengers is in a critical condition. We have Ten's Jacqueline Moddock at Calvary Hospital with one of the plane's passengers."
"Thanks Bill. Yes I am here with Officer Ziva David N…."
"It's Dah-Veed" Ziva interrupted rolling her eyes
Tony smiled.
"I am here with Officer Ziva Dah-veed NCIS" She made an emphasis on Ziva's last name and made sure she said it right every time after that. "Miss David…"
"Please, call me Ziva" She interrupted again.
"Ziva." She said trying not to look pissed off, but not succeeding. "Please tell us what happened this afternoon"
"Well it all started when my Boss ordered me to go find Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. Who had come here without telling anyone… at least… well… his plane had left before we got the note he gave us."
Tony smiled he knew that Ziva knew how he felt about her.
"Does she feel the same?" Tony questioned with no-one around
"What did the note say?" Jacqueline Moddock was interrupting this time.
"Just that he was coming to Australia. And some other personal things that I am not willing to discuss."
Tony smiled again. Then he remembered why she was on the news and told her to finish her story. Even though, she couldn't hear him.
"Uh duh Tony" He muttered to himself.
"What happened after you got the note?"
"I went to the airport. I couldn't find him so my boss, Special Agent L.J. Gibbs, organised a private jet for me. When I got on I met Ex-Agent Caitlin Todd."
Tony's jaw dropped open. He covered it as he swore.
"Is this the woman that got shot?"
"Yes. It was as we were getting off the plane that she was shot. I called for the pilots help when I heard another gun shot and saw him lying on the ground. I called an ambulance. They announced the pilot's death at the scene and brought Kate here"
"So there you have it. One dead, one critically injured, one eye witness and one missing Special Agent. If you have any information please phone Crime Stoppers. Back to you Bill."
Tony switched off the TV, grabbed his keys and headed for his rental car.
