Beyond The Oath

The Night The Lights Went Out

Gibbs and Jack sneak out, and go to the diner for an early breakfast.

Elaine: "Oh Gibbs!" (Hugs him)

Gibbs: "How ya been Elaine?"
Elaine: "Better that I know you're back out there."
Gibbs: (Chuckles)

Elaine: "Coffee?"
Gibbs: "You're too good to me."
Elaine: "Just waiting for a proposal that's all."
Both: (Chuckles)

Jack: "How long have you been coming here?"

Gibbs: "30 years."
Jack: "I thought I was a creature of habit."
Gibbs: (Winces in pain) "Yeah."

Jack: "How many bullets you got in you?"

Gibbs: "I don't know."
Jack: "Yeah you do, all guys know that kind of stuff."

Gibbs: "Not me."
Elaine: "Here you go honey."

Jack: "Thanks Elaine."

Gibbs and Jack talk for a while then something unexpected happens.

Gibbs: "Can I get another-(bullet whooses through Gibbs arm)

Gibbs: "Everyone get down!"
Jack: "Oh god Gibbs your hit."

Gibbs: "I'm fine, now get them all out of here."
Jack: "I'm not leaving you."
Gibbs: "Dammit Jack, please."

Jack: "Gibbs-"
Gibbs: (Kisses her forehead)

Gibbs: "Now go, I'll be fine."

Jack: "Fine. Everyone, follow me."

Jack gets everyone out of the diner safely, she calls the Police and an ambulance. Gibbs waits for the attackers to come into the diner. The door bursts open

Man 1: "We know you're in here you son of a bitch."
Gibbs: "Who are you?"
Man 2: "None of your concern."
Man 1: "You're a hard man to find, you know that?"
Gibbs: "Yeah and I like it that way."

Man 2: "You won't have to worry about that after tonight."
Gibbs: "Why that?"
Man 3: "Cause you'll be dead."

Gibbs: "We'll see about that." (Shoots and kills a man)

Man 4: "KILL HIM!"
Man 1: (Fires off a shot)

Gibbs: (Yells in pain)

Man 2: "Give up Gibbs, it'll only get worse from here."
Gibbs: (Fires his weapon and kills another man)

Man 4: "Oh you son of a bitch, you'll pay for that."

Gibbs takes off and slides across the floor, taking cover behind the bar in the diner.

Man 1: (Takes a shot)

Gibbs: "Damn, you have a bad shot."

Man 4: "Don't underestimate your opponent Gibbs."

Gibbs: (Grunts) "I can say the same thing to you."

Man 1: (Whispers) "Get 'em."
Man 4: (Fires his weapon)

Gibbs: (Yells) "AH SON OF BITCH!"
Man 1: "What's the matter Gibbs?"
Man 4: "Cat got your tongue?"
Gibbs: (Kills another man)

At this point Gibbs is out of ammo, but as the last man goes to take a shot, they both hear the all too familiar "click" of the chamber being emptied.

Man 4: "Looks like we have to end this the old fashioned way, like you Gibbs."

Gibbs: (Sharp sigh)

Gbbs and the man fight.

Man 4: "Not bad Gibbs."

Man 4: "But not good enough."

The attacker pulls out a switchblade knife.

Gibbs: "Here we go."

Man 4: "Still think you can win this fight old man?"
Gibbs: "Or die trying."

Man 4: "It's going to be that last one."
Man 4: "Your good hand is broken."

Gibbs: " That give you a leg up?"
Man 4: "Nope." (Stabs Gibbs twice)

Gibbs: (Yells in pain) "SON OF A BITCH!"

Gibbs hits the floor like a pile of bricks, as he lays there, the man comes over and kicks him in the ribs. Gibbs swipes his legs out from up him, but the attacker gets his blade back and goes to stab Gibbs again. Then three shots ring out and Gibbs looks up to see Jack. The man hits the floor.

Jack: "Gibbs!"
Jack: "Come on Gibbs!"
Gibbs: (Gasping for air) "I-it's j-just a scratch."
Jack: "The ambulance will be here soon."
Man 4: "Hope you make it till then Gibbs."

Jack gets up to shoot the man again, but the all too familiar "click" sound of a gun being empty.

Man 4: "Sweetheart, you just made things more complicated."

Gibbs: "Don't call her sweetheart."

Gibbs somehow managed to get to his feet, and charges the man, tackling him. They both hit the floor and Gibbs snaps his neck, and passes out on top of him. Jack comes running over and pulls Gibbs off the man.
