This story is based on the season three episode Boxed In with a little twist. Ziva gets shet before they make it into the container and she may not survive all those hours trapped in there. Also how will this affect their relationship, maybe if she survives it will give them a little push to be together?
-I can't believe Gibbs really expects us to find the explosives in this port. It will take us a lifetime to go through all these containers- Tony was tired and it was just 9 in the morning. This day was looking to be a very long one.
-Stop complaining and do your job Tony- answered a very annoyed Ziva. It was always the same with his partner.
-Well maybe I would be in a better mood if I would have been invited to eat a nice dinner yesterday night Zeeva-
-Again with the same. I thought you would be with one of your bimbos and didn't want to ruin it for you- just thinking about it was making Ziva mad, and she didn't know why. She didn't care if Tony slept with a woman, or different women right? Then why did it hurt? She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind when she heard voices.
Both she and Tony moved closer to see what was going on. There were three men moving boxes out of a container, very suspicious looking boxes. They approached them and were about to call Gibbs to let him know what was going on when the bullets started flying. They started firing back, but their position was compromised, they were out in the open without any cover.
-Ziva in here- said Tony pointing at open container and making a run for it. Ziva followed him but just before she entered she felt exploding pain through her shoulder as a bullet hit her but she tried to ignore it and kept running for the container. As soon as she made it inside they both took defensive positions behind some crates, but instead of the shooters coming in they closed the container doors and locked them from outside.
-Oh great, this day just went from bad to worse- said Tony pulling out his cell phone to try and call Gibbs and let him know what happened- No signal perfect, Zeeeva check your phone-
With her one good arm Ziva opened her phone but she had no signal either, so she shook her head letting Tony know. She was trying to concentrate on ignoring the pain that was exploding from her shoulder but it was becoming unbearable even with her Mossad training for pain. While Tony kept walking back and forth in the container complaining about being trapped there and about the cold Ziva took a moment to actually look at her arm and was shocked by the amount of blood she was losing, no wonder she was feeling a little dizzy, the bullet must have hit an artery, she thought. She tried to put pressure on it but knew she needed Tony's help.
-I can't believe it, of course this has to happen to me, and today it couldn't have happened in a warmer day, no of course not DiNozzo that would be too good for you- Tony kept on rambling and suddenly turned to look at Ziva who had slid down to the floor in a dark corner- How come you are so quiet David, I would have expected you to be blaming me for the situation already-
-Well Tony, even though it is your fault I feel no need to waste my energy on fighting with your when I have other things on my mind- the last part she said almost hissing because of the pain and that was when Tony realized something was very wrong with Ziva
-Ziva you okay?- he asked while getting down to check her
She only nodded but as soon as he got close enough and his eyes got used to the dark he saw the blood and her face full of pain
-Ziva you are not okay, why didn't you tell me you were hit?- Tony was frantic, this could not be happening, the day had just gone from bad to worse, now they were trapped in a container, freezing, without any means of outside communications and to top it off Ziva was wounded and by the looks of it bleeding bad-Okay Ziva lets find something to put some pressure on that wound and a way to get a little warm okay?- but she didn't answer, she was unconscious
-Ziva, Ziva come on my ninja don't give up on me okay?- said Tony while shaking her a little bit to see if she would wake up.
She opened her eyes a little bit and looked at him like it was the last time and with a barely audible whisper said- I am sorry I didn't invite you to dinner. I love you- and with this she closed her eyes.
-Ziva noooooooooooooo!
So let me know if you like it and if I should continue or leave it there.
