So I was watching Truth or Consequences, and it was at the end when McGee trips Salem and Salem pulls out a gun. Tony talks his way out of it, but I'm thinking, it would have been better if he shot McGee! So here we are.

Tony POV

McGee. McGeek. McGoo. Curse him. He played dead. And now he moved faster than Tony thought possible. Going for the knife on the floor. And now he had a gun pointed to his head. Saleem was on the floor with a gun pointing to his head. McGee's head. McGee didn't look scared. He didn't even look like he had time to think. He simply stared at the gun. Ziva and Tony stared at the gun, waiting. There was a pause. A few seconds, just waiting. Saleem looked like he was going to pull the gun away. At the last second a single shot was fired. The light blinded him. The noise seemed to deafen him. And when he could see again, he could see McGee on the floor, and a pile of blood around him.

McGee POV

Pain.

Excoriating pain.

Pain beyond anything he had ever felt before.

He couldn't scream. He didn't know why, but he couldn't

But he wasn't dead. That much he knew, but for how long he didn't know.

Ziva POV

Her team mate. Correction, former team mate. Now laying on the ground, bruised and bloody already, and more blood was spilling out by the second.

His shoulder. His left shoulder. He was left handed. Now Ziva didn't know if he would ever be able to use that shoulder again. Salem got up from the floor. He picked the knife McGee was going for from off the floor. He put it back in his belt. He wasn't playing games anymore. He wasn't making pizza. He was serious. He dragged McGee up from the floor. Ziva was amazed he didn't cry out. That he didn't scream. She was already amazed that he didn't scream when he got shoot. Then she realized something else. He was out cold. His head was limp on his neck. He couldn't feel the gun now pressed to his head by Saleem.

"Tell me what I need to know. I'm not playing games anymore."

Tony was speechless. The first and the last Ziva was sure. They had both come to save her. And now, McGee might not be able to use his shoulder again. Blood was pouring out still. All over Saleem, He didn't seem to care though.

"Tell me what I need to know." He reaped. Tony and Ziva didn't seem to know what to say. They kept staring at the blood piling up on the floor. Tony seemed to recover somewhat.

"Remember when I told you my boss was a Marine sniper?" He asked. Saleem seemed to realize what he was saying. He looked up, but not in time. A second single shot was fired, hitting Saleem square in the head. Down he went, McGee went with him. A crack was heard as his head hit the pavement. And Ziva couldn't do a thing.

Sorry this is so short. It's sorta a prologue. I'm going to write more. Please, this button
