I want to apologize gravely to all of the loyal readers of this story and to all the people waiting months and months for this update. I feel bad. No, I feel horrible. I would not blame you for not reading this ever again and hating me. I desvere it. Please forgive me and enjoy the chapter that you guys have waited for… Chapter 24 of Crash and Burn…
"How…why…Really?" Carlee asked the eye lock with the tied up agent had not been broken in quite some time. Tony just stared back, the look of love covering his tired features.
"Why didn't you tell me Carlee? This would have never happened." Tony's bold voice took over both the Israeli and the Texas agent emotions.
Carlee stared him down, the pressure to say something overwhelmed her. She raced down the hall of the apartment, and made a clean cut turn into the wide open bathroom door. A slam making, Ziva jump.
"Tony," she whispered, her voice as calm as she could make it. "What was that? What are you saying?"
Tony twisted his head, well as much as possible. A small smirk appeared on his face and he quietly laugh. "What? I love me some crazy."
"What are you doing?" she asked through her teeth, glaring over Tony's shoulder whenever possible to look down the darken hallway that had taken the estranged woman away for only a minor minute.
"Just follow my lead and put on your best poker face. Please trust me." Tony finally let the seriousness of the situation sink in; for at any moment Carlee could walk in and kill the woman he truly loved.
Ziva nodded and leaned her head back so she was touching his shoulder. "I do Tony. You don't know how much I do." She whispered in his ear.
A jingling sound made Ziva lift her head up and looked a dark shadow figure approached the two.
Tony's mind raced. I should have told her I love her.
"Tony, I'm sorry about that. I just never knew you felt that way, with her still in the picture." Carlee's love fill voice made Tony know his plan was working. He could also feel Ziva fiddling with her knots, but with some trouble. She needed more time.
"Carlee, please forgive me. I should have told you sooner. I thought…" Tony's eye's flickered back and forth. "I thought you would not feel the same way."
Tears broke Carlee's face, making her makeup run. "How could you think that!" she squealed.
Ziva finally chimed in with a depressed and heartbroken cry. "Haven't you seen her goggling over you?"
"Shut up! You will ruin everything!" Carlee screamed, her words filling every inch of the room. "You are worthless now and now that I have your job and your boyfriend, there is no use for you anymore." Carlee reached to her side, grabbing Ziva's gun and placing it in between her eyes.
"Finally, it's time for you to die."
The sound of gun's fire exploded into the apartment and she dropped to the floor, blood everywhere.
I 3 YOU GUYS! FORGIVE ME!
(OH and REVIEW telling me how much of a jerk I am.)
