Chapter 3:
(I like to thank you all for the reviews, I am glad you liked the story and I hope you will continue to follow)
McGee's POV:
"Damn it" I muttered finding myself back in the hospital corridor, Ziva was lying next to my comatose body, I smiled as I pressed my palms against the window, my heart beating steady as I gazed at her, I needed to wake up... fast. Before Kate 1 and Kate 2 come after me, I really didn't want to use my sig on them, they were Kate, the memories in my head had been stronger, with her standing with me, but in the end, that's all the dead become, Memories in our hearts and minds, and I refuse to lose Kate's memory.
The sounds of footsteps behind me once again drew my attention, I saw a silhouette coming closer from the shadow, I grinned bright as it revealed himself to be Gibbs, I chuckled as went closer but he faded and behind me appeared Abby, this was confusing. Her face was pale and ghostly as the tears went down her cheek "McGee, you had better wake up right now!" her face became paler and paler by the second and she faded into dust leaving me standing there puzzled, The elevator dinged caught my attention and smiled as I saw Sarah leaving it and heading towards me, I held my arms out instinctively to her but she had passed straight through me, I thought to myself 'any other day that might have been funny' I snorted and frowned 'being Comatose sucks', I watched as she looked into the window and gasped before breaking down and crying into her hands, my heart sank 'I can't take much more, I need to wake up right now!' my brain screamed as I searched the place inch by inch until the sound of Kate calling in the distance "McGee... come to me" "come to me" over and over again, chills went down my spine and I began to run fast away from them, like sirens who lure ships and their crew to the fate's, these sirens are not gonna get me.
Ziva's POV:
I had watched McGee for hours, talking to him, my heart watched the monitor beeping showing he was slowly returning but the only problem was, how much was he going to remember, like all crash victims he had taken a big hit to the head, I watched him carefully as Gibbs and McGee's sister Sarah talking outside, she was near panic and grief as she looked at him laying there motionless, his heart rate slightly increased as I felt him give my hand a gentle squeeze, whatever he was dreaming, his family was here, I got up and asked Gibbs if I could talk to him, he nodded and we headed into the waiting room.
"Everything ok Ziva?" Gibbs asked me in a soft voice,
I gulped nervously "I want to be a full member of Ncis, I want to leave Mossad"
Gibbs was shocked, which was a first but soon he nodded and told me to go to director Shepherd
I nodded and went to McGee's room and kissed his cheek to say bye and then I left, next stop 'Director Shepherd's office then MTAC to talk to my father' My back felt like it had been in a freezer, this was an interesting week, first McGee has a collision to save me, then my Nightmares and the fear of losing him, now I was going to tell my father to stick his Mossad agency up his ass, Tony called me a ninja well for vanities sake, I felt like a freaking bad ass, I chuckled as I felt a tear fall down my cheek, I thought to myself 'Oh McGee, what have you done to me' I smile bright but the tears are threatening to fall so bad I pull over and I let it all out, all the anger and hatred to my father and my love for McGee and Ncis.
When the tears finished I had arrived and talked to Shepherd about becoming an American citizen, and leaving mossad, she placed her ear to the phone as I left to start the paper work to being a fully fledged member of Ncis, I only had to pass the exam to becoming an American citizen, now the only thing needed doing was dealing with my father, a conversation I was pretty much looking forward too, if he won't listen I am going to have to reveal that it was me that shot Ari, if I did that, not only would he disown me, me would consider me a traitor and have his men come and take me down. That thought made my blood boil and my heart swell with sadness, I loved my father but he had seen me as his tool and not his daughter, I had done my best to please him but it was never enough, I think about mom and Tali sometimes, they were always in my heart, now is the time for me to be free. Hopefully McGee will be there to help me along the way, Tony called him a Geek, and me a ninja, 'the ninja and the geek' that thought made me laugh as I entered MTAC, drawing the attention of some agents, it was time, and it was now or never.
McGee's POV:
I ran as fast as I could, the voices of Kate calling from behind me, telling me to come to them, like hell I will, I needed to fight, find my way to Ziva, find my way home, I was the one thing that kept me going, in the end I ran through the never ending corridor until I saw the exit, a bright light at the end of the hall, I smiled, it was now or never, I ran and ran as fast as I could until I flung my whole body into the light. I felt like I was falling, falling fast with nothing to stop me, I tried screaming or yelling but in the end it did no good, until I landed on something hard 'OW!' I groaned out as I rolled onto my back and staring into the sky, it was light blue, I smiled and inhaled the same familiar sweet scent of Ziva David, I heard laughing in the distance as I sat up, I saw Ziva in a man's arms, her red dress flowing in the breeze as her arms wrapped securely around his shoulder, my heart swelled in happiness that she was happy but I felt my heart breaking until I saw who was carrying her, the man laid her down and caressed her cheek softly, I looked at him as he turned to face me as well as Ziva, I was looking at me. Me and Ziva in a field, I watched as the other me caressed her hips through the red dress, I felt something on my face and wiped my face, my cheeks were burning, I turned away completely giving the other me and Ziva get busy but something caught my attention "Mommy, Daddy, Jethro won't give me my doll back" the little child's voice filled my ears and I heard Ziva laughing as I turned to her, she stood up leaving the other me laughing as the children, 2 boys and a girl at first until I saw the huge tummy on Ziva 'oh my... how many kids are we going to have before we get old' I laughed happily "it's ok Tali. Jethro give her doll back right now!" Ziva told the youngest boy off who gave the doll back to him, and hugged Ziva "I am sorry mommy" I smiled lovingly as well as the other me, this was pure heaven to me, I had a bright grin on me as it faded from sight.
I smiled as I walked through a house, it looked like Gibbs house, I looked around in confusion as I walked from room to room and ended back to where I started, in the centre of the bullpen, it was lighter this time, but I found something in the corner of my eye, the elevator was moving up and the horrible sound of Kate's voice, "come to me" "come to me" over and over, except it sounded more than 2, it sounded like a crowd of them, I watched in horror as the doors opened and Kate's poured out, not 10, not 50, it was more like 500 of them, all saying the same thing, I grabbed my Sig and aimed it, "stop, don't make me do this Kate!" I warned them all back and fired, hitting one Kate in the leg but she healed and got back up, I gulped down the bile and my heart raced, if I was going to die now, it would fight to the last bullet in my gun, here goes nothing.
Reader's POV:
McGee fired the gun as they advanced slowly, all humming the same thing, he had continued too fire, withdrawing one mag after another, his sig's muzzle fire surrounding the large noise as the gun discharged, McGee was firing hard, hitting his targets and switching to the next, point to point action as he switched and fired, but they were still advancing and in the end one bullet remained and they all stopped and gazed at him, He gulped to himself as he aimed his gun and was getting ready to fire his last round, knowing he was doomed but in the corner of his eye, he turned and a Kate advanced to him slowly, her face saddened, as he aimed his gun at her, she sighed and held up a hand.
McGee's POV:
My hand held the gun tight as I aimed in, she smiled to me and my throat became dry.
"McGee..." she started, "it's over, come with us" I shook my head, not believing my ears.
"No... I won't" I saw something in the corner of my eyes, next to the window a few metres from me, it was a gas tank.
My gut twisted and turned and I smiled softly. Trusting my gut and switched targets from Kate to that Gas tank.
Kate's smiled faded "if you do that, you will lose everything" her voice was soft and filled my head "all your memories will be forgotten" I smiled 'at least I have a chance at seeing Ziva again' I thought to myself.
I steadied my aiming and smiled "as long as I get to see my Ziva again, then that's fine by me" I grinned and looked at Kate, her eyes filled with tears, it wasn't the end, it was merely the beginning, I pulled the trigger and the sound of the explosion echoed in my head sending me crashing through a wall into the darkness.
(I hope you enjoy this chapter and I will continue to write, thank you for the reviews)
