Tony’s idea at team building exercise
Shooting Practice
“DiNozzo!”
“Yeah boss?”
“You’re getting rusty on the range again tipped the ear on the hostage when you took the shot. Take care of it. Oh, and take the team with you as their worse than you.” Gibbs stomped off for his therapy, of triple B of booze, basement, and boat after the case was wrapped up.
Kate and their probie grabbed their gear and followed Tony out to the company sedan since this was officially for work with Kate asking where they were going.
Tony replied that he knew a guy that had a little range for specialty training that was set up better than the alley the fibbies used over at Quantico.
Kate’s answer was snide, but she got in the car in the passenger seat with the probie in the back.
A half later due to traffic getting out of the city, they arrived at a large facility and Kate quoting the sign over the entrance: “Range Z where’s the others if this is the last one.” Tony just laughed as he got out and headed to the door and showed his membership. Pointing to them and mumbled to the guard who grinned the grin of the demented and bowed them in.
In the background they could hear shots being fired from several guns and rifles much like any other range but could also hear screaming and yelling. Looking at the smiling Tony, the other two wondered just what the hell he had gotten them into as he got them signed into as they checked their assigned weapons out. Then headed to a…. Tunnel? And Tony told them to get ready for the Z Alley. Then did the whole Bruce Willis thing of Yippee Kie-Aye…. And he ran in and they heard him start to fire his weapon.
Gulping and slowing heading with the weapons ready they found the tunnel opened into a room with…. OHMYGOD ITSFUCKINGTHEUNDEADCOMINGATUS! And started to blast away as they realized the Z stood for Zombies and the only way to survive was to keep taking them down. Advancing as they saw drops of ammo laying where the only way to get at them was to take the zombie undead out.
Off in the distance they heard the evil laughter of Tony and others shooting up a storm as they were cursing him out themselves shooting anything that came at them and going for precise head shot to take the enemy down.
Round after round and zombie body after body down they advanced, through tunnel after tunnel till the end and the exit sign above the door showed it was finally over.
Falling to their knees panting, they looked at the smiling bastard that did this too them. Then at each other.
Together the three of them shouted…. “Again!”
