The bullet from one of Korts henchmen bit into Tony's shoulder, he clutched at it and fell to the ground, hiding behind a table that he pulled over with him. Ziva shot him a quick glance before putting a bullet straight into the heart of the henchman.

Jen covered her head as Gibbs threw himself over her and the chair, covering her with his body. She allowed herself to flash him a brief smile of thanks before he lifted himself off her and ran after Kort who had rushed out at the gun fire.

"Give it up Kort." He shouted as Kort ducked behind a pillar. Gibbs crouched and pointed in Korts direction, blocking out the noise of Tony in the background, knowing that Ziva and Jen were there to look after him.

"Not likely Agent Gibbs." Kort replied, "The CIA are after me now, your Director will never give up, I have got nothing left to do but run."

"Can you blame the Director? You murdered her father after all. Now give it up and I might not kill you, believe me when I tell you that I really want to." Gibbs took a shot as Korts shoulder appeared from behind the pillar and he ducked back behind it, listening to Korts cry of anger.

Gibbs moved forward, his weapon still pointed in Korts direction. Kort moved, suddenly, spinning out from behind the pillar and firing a shot in Gibbs's direction, the bullet tore through his thigh, Gibbs ignore the pain and fired back, putting three rounds into his chest. When Korts lifeless body hit the ground, so did Gibbs, pressing hard on the slice the bullet had made as it tore through the air.

Jen was at his side in an instant, worried eyes searching his body for the source of the blood that spilled onto his hands. He indicated to his leg and she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ziva called an ambulance." She said briefly touching his face with her finger tips. He smiled at her.

"I found you." He grinned, pleased with himself.

"I am sure that Abby and McGee helped, but yes you did, well done." She placed a light kiss on his forehead as Ziva, Tony and McGee came out of the office, Tony was being held up by Ziva and was grimacing at the hole in his shoulder.

"I got shot Boss." Tony grinned through the pain. Gibbs flashed him a smile.

"Me too."

"Oh my God, Gibbs, are you ok? Of course you aren't ok, you got shot, but have you got enough pain killers to keep the pain away? Gibbs I was so worried I…" Abby chattered on, unaware that Gibbs only had eyes for Jen who was watching Abby with an amused smile.

"Abby! I'm fine, Tony got shot too." Gibbs interrupted, Abby gasped.

"Oh my God, Tony…" She fled, off to find Tony. Gibbs and Jen heard her talking quickly, as only Abby could, to the nurse who brushed her off with Tony's room number, just to get rid of the goth.

Jen brushed his forehead. Smiling down at him, she took his hand.

"You sure you're ok?" She asked. Gibbs nodded and brushed his lips over her knuckles.

"As soon as I get out of here I will be. Can you do me a favor?" He asked.

"Anything." She replied, looking worried. He squeezed her hand.

"Stop getting into trouble. Its making me age prematurely."

"Really? I thought it was the fact that you were old that was making you age?" Jen grinned as Gibbs pulled her down to him. He leant forward, his mouth hovering over hers.

"Shut up."

The birds sang and the insects hummed along the Potomac River. A dark sedan pulled up along the banks. Two men wearing dark suits and sunglasses stepped out. Opening the trunk of the sedan they pulled out a body bag and dumped it into the river. Trent Kort was going to cause the CIA and NCIS trouble no more.

Voila! C'est finis. Hope you enjoyed it.

V!
