Chapter 2
"What are you doing here?" Tony asked quickly.
"We..." Elena didn't know what to say.
"This is Elena's twin sister." Stefan took over coolly, but Ziva wasn't buying it.
"If she is your sister why are your last names different?" Ziva was pushing them to the edge of giving in.
"Because her parents split up" Damon was influencing them now using one of his many talents he had picked up as a vampire. Damon couldn't resist flashing Ziva an unsettling smile. Damon shouldn't have done that because it made Ziva aware of what he was doing. She had a strong mind, Damon could sense it now but it was too late he had already smiled.
"If they split up, why are you so happy about it?" Ziva said with a strong voice. Damon lunged to grab Katherine for an escape, but Ziva grabbed Elena and pulled a knife out of a secret holster at her waist. She brought the knife up to Elena's neck and shouted "Don't move".
Damon stopped where he was and so did Katherine. "Ziva, I'm sure there is no reason for that knife." It was Stefan who spoke. He had looked into Ziva's mind for her name and was using his influence on her.
"How do you know my name?" Ziva asked quickly, not at all fooled by his influence.
"All we want is to leave you and this navy base behind. Why don't you let go of Elena? Nice and slowly." This time it was Damon who spoke. His eyes were looking directly into Ziva's. She couldn't be influenced.
Finally Gibbs stepped forward pulling out his gun and pointing it at Damon. Damon stepped forward towards him.
"You don't scare me" He said. "Your bullets-"
Stefan interrupted him. "He means he knows you won't shoot." Stefan gave Damon a glance that said we don't want them to know. Then looking back at the NCIS team he made up his mind. "We are willing to cooperate. We wouldn't want to cause any trouble now."
Ziva, still holding the knife at Elena's throat, twisted her arms behind her back and cuffed them. Then Gibbs did the same with Katherine and Stefan whilst Tony cuffed Damon's hands behind his back. Ziva led them all away to sit in the back of the NCIS van parked out the front of the navy base.
