Chapter 19
(**Flashback**)
'She is a he, you idiot!' Gibbs yelled and hung up afterwards. Tony's face went pale. He gulped. Amanda came back.
Tony...
Amanda sat next to Tony again.
„Hey, babe. Want continue of were we left? „ She says while leaning to him. He pushes her away.
„I'm not in the mood right now" He says coldly.
„Why? Is there something wrong? " She says, concerned.
„I don't know where to start" He says somewhat angrily. She looks at him now even scared.
„Show me your purse" He says seriously. She just stares at him.
„I'm waiting" He says.
She slowly opens her purse, but then, takes the gun out. He takes the gun from her and points her into her head. McGee gets up. Everybody start screaming.
She takes the chance and grabs his gun. He tries to take it away, but a man hits him with a beer bottle. He passes out. Everyone start fighting and throwing things. McGee yells:
„NCIS special agent! Step away!" He shows his badge and gets to Tony. Amanda runs to the exit door. Gibbs and Kate show up. Gibbs points his gun to Amanda's forehead.
„He was my co-worker. And my friend. I loved him. We loved him" He says.
Amanda squeezes the gun harder. Gibbs quickly pulls the trigger. A red spot appears on Amanda's head. She falls to the ground, with a blood splatter expanding around her unconscious body. Gibbs puts the gun away. Everybody screams and runs in panic. Kate lifts her hands in the air, with her badge in one of them. She yells:
„Calm down! NCIS special agents! Calm down! No need to panic"
She runs to McGee and Tony. Gibbs looks at dead Amanda. He nods angrily.
Tony wakes up.
„Ouch! My head hurts really bad! What happened?" He asks while rubbing his head.
„Well, you were on a date with our lead suspect, Amanda Reed..." McGee starts.
„... Which turned out to be commander Voss, who killed Chris Pacci" Kate finishes
„Yeah" McGee agrees.
„Oh, now I remember. Uh, I'll need to wash my mouth for a week" He says in a disgust. Kate grins at him.
They pick up Amanda's body and get out of the pub. Kate dials Abby. Tony sees her and asks:
„What are you doing? "
"Oh, I'm calling Abby to tell her this" She giggles and goes away. He rolls his eyes.
Later at the NCIS building…
Tony and McGee are sitting next to each other. Tony's holding ice on his head. Kate is looking at him for a while. He sighs, and then says:
"Whatever it is Kate, I'm sure I can take it. Bring it on"
She looks at him silently again, and then approaches his desk. She leans on the desk and asks ironically:
"How was it to stick a tongue in a man? "
He looks at her, and then says:
"Ok, that, can't take" He puts the ice on the table and goes away.
"Where are you going?" She asks while still laughing.
"To throw up" He answers. McGee laughs with her. Gibbs joins them. McGee suddenly jumps off his chair.
"What time is it?" He says in a hurry.
"Relax, Probie, It's about 6:30. What's with the hurry?" She asks, confused.
"Nothing, nothing, I got to go. See you guys soon" he runs to the elevator and presses the garage button.
"Bye" Kate says. She wondered if he was hiding something from the team. Tony came back.
"I'm done with the barf. What did I miss?" Tony sits at his desk.
"McGee had to go for some mysterious reason" Kate sighs.
"Really? " Tony asks.
"Maybe he has a date" Kate says.
"Ha. Katie, please. If that's true, we'll be married in two years from now" Tony says ironically. Gibbs lifts his head.
"What?" Gibbs hisses angrily.
