Here is the second chapter. Thanks so much for all you reviews on the first chapter. That was fantastic. I will try and post a chapter a day but no promises. I hope this chapter is up to standards. I think I like it better than the first one.

Disclaimer: I own nothing and never will. Ok I own two seasons on DVD but that does not count

Spoilers: I would have thought that would have been obvious by this point

Chapter Two—26 degrees north. 17 degrees east.

Tony walked into NCIS on Monday and automatically glanced at Ziva's desk. It was empty. It had been empty everyday for the past month. He always half expected her to be there laughing or joking or threatening her with office supplies. She never was. There was a dull pain in his chest every time he thought about her. She had left with out a good bye and he was never going to see her again.

"Agent Gibbs a message for you in MTAC," Vance said appearing on the balcony. Tony glanced up. He had not realized that Gibbs was in the room. Gibbs nodded and followed Vance up stairs to MTAC.

"Deputy Director David, how nice to see you." Gibbs said through clenched teeth. He blamed the Director for Ziva's choice to stay in Israel. He did not know what that man had said but it had convinced Ziva to come back to Mosad.

"Agent Gibbs," David replied coolly. "I am sorry to inform you that you will have to replace Officer David."

"Why exactly?"

"She has been captured at the terrorist training camp in northern Africa."

"Captured does not mean dead. You can send out a team and she will be fine."

"We are not sending a team."

"What?!?" Gibbs nearly yelled.

"It is not worth it for one agent."

"What are the coordinates?"

"26 degrees north. 17 degrees east. Wh—" He never got to finish his question. Gibbs had cut MTAC fuming. He had not liked the man before but now he refused to even try to help his own daughter. That crossed the line. Gibbs had lost one biological daughter and one woman he loved like a daughter. Kelly and Kate were gone and never coming back. Right now Ziva was gone but she was coming back to NCIS if he had to fight the devil or Hamas or make pigs fly. He had lost Shannon, Kelly, Kate, and barely a year ago he had lost Jenny. He only had Ziva and Abby left, and he was not going to add Ziva to the list of women he had lost.

He walked down the stairs and made his choice. He would fly to Africa and save Ziva. He would not force the team to come. This was not something he could order them to do but he had a suspicion that they would not take kindly to the thought of Ziva being tortured. Right he told himself, you have things to do. First on the list was to call a meeting.

He looked around at the people he had gathered in Abby's lab. They were one family, but right now they were three short. Would this mission bring one of those three home or cost the life of another. "Ziva has been captured."

"No!" Abby yelled and threw herself at McGee. McGee did not say anything but felt as if the world was collapsing on all sides. Ziva could not be captured. She was a world-class spy. She was like his sister. She was…Ziva.

"Oh dear," Ducky said quietly. Tony just stood there.

"It gets worse," Gibbs added and they all looked up at him, "Her father refuses to send out a team to save her."

"No," Abby howled.

"Well then we have to go." They all looked at Ducky. Gibbs had expected someone other than Ducky to come up with that plan. Ducky could barely hold a grudge much less shoot someone.

Gibbs spoke and all eyes flicked back to him. "I am going. The rest of year can choose to go or stay."

"I am going." McGee said automatically. The thought of going to a terrorist camp scared him but not nearly as much as the thought of losing another sister did.

"I am coming." Ducky said, "and no I can't shoot Jethro but I can make the difference between life and death for one of you." Gibbs winced internally but nodded.

"I am coming, too." Gibbs opened his mouth to speak but Abby cut him off. "I am not a field agent and I know that but I can shoot and I refuse to sit down and watch as another friend gets shot down around me or as you field agents march heroically off into the sunset. I am coming, Gibbs. End of story.

Gibbs turned to Tony. "You coming?" Tony nodded but did not say anything. He had barely spoken since their return from Israel. "Alright. We leave tomorrow so go pack." He watched them leave one by one but caught Tony's arm. "Dinozzo, what is going on?"

"Boss?" Tony said trying to sound as if he did not know what Gibbs was talking about.

"Dinozzo, don't give me that crap. What happened between you and David in Israel?"

"I killed the only man she ever loved, boss. I hurt her. I made her feel she had to run and now she is being tortured by terrorists. I never got to tell her that—" but suddenly Tony stopped dead.

"You love her." Gibbs finished for him and Tony nodded looking at the floor. "Tony, I swear to you that we will find her and that you will get your chance to tell her. Just promise me you will tell her. Do not giver her the chance to die with out her knowing that you loved her."

"Jenny knew you loved her. She loved you too. You could see it in her eyes." Gibbs nodded but did not say anything, so Tony knew his assumption had been correct. "What if Ziva does not love me?"

"She does Dinozzo. I can see it in her eyes. She has loved you ever since she first came to NCIS. She was just waiting for you to realize it. You hurt her when you started with Jeanne."

"That was an undercover mission." Tony protested.

"She did not know that. She forgave you when you told her what was going on. She only started to date Michael because she needed some retreat. She needed someone to escape reality with. She would have chosen you in a heartbeat, but you were to busy beating yourself up over Jenny's death to realize that she might be hurting too." Gibbs said. "Now go and pack."

I will save you Ziva. I promise you that. I love you.

So that is the second chapter. Tiva is coming. I promise you that. I am really enjoying writing this story. Please review.
