CHAPTER 21: REVENGE IS SWEET
At the hospital Tony and Kate are sitting in Emmas room looking over her while she sleeps they are sitting in chairs next to each other and are holding
hands smiling at each other, they were happy for now and that was enough, Tony had his Kate back and Kate had her Tony. They were talking about
what happened that night and what would Gibbs say if he would have found out another way other than Kate being kidnapped in Tony appartment.
"You should have seen the look on his face when he knew that you had stayed over and not on the couch" Tony says
"I am betting he wasn't pleased" Kate says laughing
"I thought he was going to kill me" Tony says remembering the look on his boss' face
"We we are his girls me and Abby and he likes to be a father to us and keep us safe" Kate says knowing it was true
"I am so worried about Abby" Tony says
"So am I, but we will find her" Kate says looking at Tony
"You know u look so beautiful when you look at me like that" Tony says looking at Kate
"Like what?" Kate asks
"Like you love me" Tony says leaning in to kiss her
They slowly move towards each other and softly press their lips together, after a while their kiss gets heated and before they know it Tony is off of his chair and
making his way onto Kate's leaning over her and into the kiss. She places her hands onto Tony's face and pulls him in closer as he puts his hands on her
waist and around her back as she leans forward. He runs his hands up her shirt tracing her scars on her back and caressing them with his touch. She
moves her hands to his shirt and begins to undo his bottons and remove it by sliding it off of his shoulders and down his arms. He begins to kiss her neck
as she opens her eyes to see Craig standing at the side of Emmas bed, holding her hand and injecting her with something. She freezes and Tony
notices something is not right.
"Its him" Kate whispers to Tony
"Where?" Tony asks
"Behind you!" Kate says
Tony slowly grabs his gun from his holster and turns around allowing Kate to stand up and un holster hers.
"Federal agents get your hands in the air" Tony says
Craig begins to slowly lift his hands into the air when they are almost shoulder height he makes a quick run for it dropping the syringe. Tony and Kate chase after him he runs
through corridors and into several wards who are bustling with people that it makes it difficult for them to take a shot at him. Vicky is walking through
the ward on her way to relieve Kate and Tony of their shift when she hears a noise and sees Craig running towards her. Before she has time to un holster
her weapon he wraps his arm around her neck and puts a gun to her head and pulls her into a stairwell.
"Get your hand off me you creep" Vicky screams
"Shut up or i will kill you!" Craig says pushing the gun further into her temple
"Like Emma you mean" Vicky says
"She was never part of the plan but when she found out about who planted the bomb and who took Abby i had to find a way to get rid of her" he says locking the door to the
stairwell.
Kate and Tony are trying to kick in the door to try to get Craig and help Vicky but nothing is workignt he door won't budge, they have also asked for a janitor for them to open
the door but this is the one day where there are lack of janitors and a high batch of cleaning duties, Tony pulls out his cell and calls Gibbs.
"Gibbs we need help at the hospital, Craig was here and tried to kill Emma and he now has Vicky in the stairwell but he has locked the door" Tony says
"Hold on DiNozzo we will be right there" Gibbs says
"What is it?" Veron asks
"I'll tell you on the way" Gibbs says
"Keep them safe Tony" Gibbs says closing his cell
Kate has got so annoyed with the door not opening she has resorted to shoting the door to try to get it to open, it won't budge as the door is made of steel and will only leave an
indent but will not open.
"Kate stay here i will try to get into the stairwell from the floor above" Tony says running off to the elevator
"Be careful Tony" Kate says
Gibbs and Veron arrive at the Hospital and immiediately head to the elevator and press the button for floor 6 they are unnaware of the scene unvailing itself when they reach
the 6th floor. They immediately take our their weapons on the doors opening and head through the crowd of people to where they see kate trying to use a chair to break
open the door without any luck.
"Kate where's Tony?" Gibbs asks
"He went to try to get into the stair well from the next floor up" Kate says finally giving up
"So who is looking after Emma?" Veron asks
"Oh no, we forgot about that" Kate said
"For christ's sake" Veron said running to Emma's room
Tony manages to make it into the stairwell from the 7th floor as he slowly and quietly opens the doorand moves to get a better view of Craig, he can hear Craig talking to
Vicky and waits for his time to shoot him if he has to.
"You couldn't just leave her alone could you" Vicky says
"I love her, and she is having my baby, she is mine" Craig says pacing the floor
"You have a wife and children, she didn't need this" Vicky says
"And do you think i need to kidnap an agents?" Craig says shouting
"Why did you then?" Vicky asked
"She couldn't leave well enough alone!" Craig says turning towards Vicky
"Freeze" Tony shouts gun pointed at Craigs head
"Ah, Mr DiNozzo nice of you to koin us" Craig says grabbing Vicky tighter around the neck
"Let her go or i will shoot" Tony shouts
"And then how will you find ur lab rat?" Craig asks
"Let her go!" Tony shouts firing a warning shot above Craigs head
Craig turns his gun towards Tony and fires a couple of shots at him one of them grazing Tony's shoulder and he falls to the ground clutching his shoulder with his hand,
he turns to Vicky and aims the gun at her head
"You don't want to do this!" Vicky says
"And why not?" Craig asks
"Your gonna be a father again doesn't that mean anything to you?" Vicky asks trying to use the baby to get him to calm down
"Thats not going to be a problem anymore" Craig says
"What are you going to do?" Vicky asks
"No mother, no baby" Craig says looking up towards where Tony is
"I won't let you hurt her!" Vicky says runing towards Craig and grabbing his wrist so that he cannnot use the gun
Shots fire out of the gun as Vicky struggles to get it off of Craig, he grabs her by the neck and stops her wriggling, she tries to move but her breathing is getting slower
and slower as she tries to stop him from choking her. She statrs to lose conciousness as he throws her down the stairs slamming to the ground when she reaches the
bottom of one of the flights of stairs. Vicky is now on the 5th floor, Craig on the 6th and Tony on the 7th. Tony manages to get ot his feet again and shoots Craig in
the leg watching him fall to the floor. He quickly pulls out his cell and dials Gibbs's number.
"Tony do you have him yet?" Gibbs asks
"Yeah i managed to shoot him in the leg, Vicky is ok i thnk but she is unconcious at the bottom of the stairwell on floor 5" Tony says
"Ill send someone to get Vicky you try to get Craig and i will get this bloody door open" Gibbs says throwing the cell at the door
"Ow!" Tony says and closes the cell and puts it back in his pocket
Veron arrives at Emmas room to find it empty and the room has been trashed, Ziva runs towards Veron and looks into the room.
"She's gone" Veron says angrily
