"We had 5, luckily." Timothy called as he jogged into the room, hopping over the blood puddles from his beloved partner. No, sister.

"Thanks to DiNozzo's horrible record keeping, the Probie's put in an extra," heaved McGee, making a mental note to get back to the gym.

"Tobias get everyone out. The building is clear. There is a carbon dioxide leak." Ordered Gibbs through his earwig.

"On it." Fornell answered immediately.

"Stand back." Gibbs said stepping over a blood puddle backwards. The two agents slipped on their masks and quickly stepped back from the door.

Gibbs pulled on his mask and aimed his Sig. His finger slowly caressed the trigger as thoughts circled his mind.

Flashback

"Yeah, I almost feel sorry for you." Gibbs chuckled starring his enemy in the eyes.

"And I for you. When Ziva told me you were placing flowers on the roof where Caitlin died, I couldn't believe it. Such a romantic touch. Almost too good to pass up. Almost." None other than Ari teased, looking to not to push, but shove Gibbs to his breaking point.

"Why did you?" He laughed strolling over to his wooden staircase.

"I need you to commit suicide with your own rifle. You never did give me enough credit in our game." Ari paused, keeping square with Gibbs. "I knew it was a trap before Ziva told me you asked her to cover you. You'd never trust Ziva. And you need to kill me, to taste the sweetness of revenge."

"I've killed enough men in my life, Ari." He sighed sitting on the third step. " It's going to be just as sweet watching you die."

Pointing the riffle to Gibbs head, Ari grunted. " Sorry to spoil your..."

One single shot erupted from the top of the staircase, landing perfectly between Ari's eyes.

Gibbs looked up to see Ziva standing there then slowly making her descent down the stairs.

The two met up at Ari's body, blood seeping from the exit wound from behind his head.

"His father is the deputy director in Mossad?" Gibbs asked carefully picking up the riffle that sat, un- fired.

"Yes." Ziva whispered swallowing heavily.

Gibbs froze. "Not David..."

"Yes. He's my half-brother." She cut in.

End of flashback

Gibbs pulled the trigger. Not once. Not twice, but three times and broke the glass that separated him from his wounded agent.

The glass shattered after the third bullet hit and carbon dioxide quickly started to pour into the small room.

"DiNozzo get Ziver, McGee cover us. I got Maddie." Gibbs ordered quickly unlocking the door and holstering his weapon.

"Gibbs!" Called DiNozzo tossing him one of the extra masks and the two dashed into the poisoned room.

Running the fastest, Tony got to Zivas side first. "Zi," he whispered putting the mask on her face. An open wound slowly bled from her right thigh, while her chest barely rose and fell.

"Tony," she moaned flickering her eyes open but then suddenly shuttling them again.

"It's alright Zi," he whispered grabbing her under her knees and supporting her neck. Tony quickly stood up and glanced over at Gibbs who was just getting the mask on the tiny teenager's face.

Maddie opened her eyes and coughed. "Easy" Gibbs instructed picking her up exactly like Ziva.

"Let's get outta here," Tony said jogging to the door.

When the two reached the door. McGee opened the second one and held it open. When they were through, he quickly shut it, trying to consolidate the gas as best he could.

"Ambulance here yet?" Asked Gibbs jogging toward the double doors.

"Both." McGee called trailing behind Tony who had to slow down.

McGee reached Gibbs and opened the door to the fresh air. There to great them was the FBI and CIA.

Gibbs and Tony headed right toward the ambulances that were sitting to the side. Gibbs laid Ziva on the first stretcher and Tony laid Maddie on the second.

"Sr?" One paramedic said from Maddies stretcher. "She's under 18, do you have any contact on her legal Guardian?"

Gibbs paused and looked at Tony who stood next to him. "Go with Ziva." He ordered.

"On it." Tony said jogging up to The ambulance that Ziva was just being loaded into.

"I'll go." He told the parametric following her to the other ambulance.

I know, I know. I'm not updating. I'm sorry. Something big just happened and I'm trying to deal with that and school. I'm not making excuses, I hope you know that.

I love you guys! Thanks for reading!
