Ziva ran as fast as she could

Ziva was out of breath, she had been running flat out but she couldn't shake Tony, he was behind the wheel of a black mustang and no matter which alleyway she ran through he always found her on the other side.

She turned into yet another alley and as she rounded the corner her heart sank. Dead End. She heard the mustang pull up behind her, she saw Tony get out and start walking towards her.

"Hey sweet cheeks" he said

"Back off Tony I do not want to hurt you" she tried to sound more confident than she was.

"You couldn't hurt me Zee-vah, see I know you, you wouldn't try, hah its pathetic really, you're an assassin yet 3 years at NCIS and you've gone soft." He knew he could break her, if anyone could it was him.

"I have not gone soft Tony, I have grown in more ways than you could ever understand." She said

"What ever, but you know what I'm gonna give you a chance here, you come here like a good little girl, I'll tie your hands together, we get into the mustang, drive back to Drayson's lab and no one gets hurt. What do you think?" He paused and pretended to think "Of course there is always option 2…" he trailed off as another car pulled up by his and 5 rather large and muscular men got out "up to you Ziva"

She glared at them as thy came towards her. She backed up; when she found the wall she stopped. She had to fight but she couldn't hurt Tony…she just couldn't. The men kept coming whilst Tony went to the boot to fetch a length of rope, she wouldn't beat them he knew it.

She jumped into action and took on as many as she could. She had two on the floor unconscious with another four to take out; she was doing well until he called her name. "Ziva" she looked at him " what you doing girl? You know you can't win," he said coming towards her whilst the other four men surrounded her catching their breath.

"You know I can beat you in a fair fight and you know that it will take more than six apes to stop me" She said unsure of that last comment, six men was a lot… she was only one person.

"Have it your way" he said kicking her in the stomach, she cried out in pain. This was the chance the other men needed, one punched her in the back forcing her onto the floor, then the others kicked her body until Tony told them to pull her to her feet.

Her noise and lip were bleeding and Tony could already see the bruises forming on her delicate skin.

He brought over the rope and bound her wrists, she tried to fight him but she was too weak, he pulled the rope tight and she winced, he smiled.

He dragged her over to the car, he opened the back seat door, he told her to get in and she complied. He didn't miss that death glare she gave him, it made him smile.

"Well, David guess we're going to find out just how important you are to Gibbs" Tony smirked and slammed the door shut.
