Chapter 4

Tony woke up. The room was very dusty, and dark, sending the Italian-American into a coughing fit. The tall man in the corner, who looked remarkably like James Cosmo, started laughing. "Ziva?" Tony croaked, "Where is she? Is she okay? You haven't hurt her, have you? I'll kill you if you've hurt my girl." Mr. Big-Man laughed. "You'll find out, "he spat in-between outbreaks of laughter.

After what seemed what hours (and what was actually minutes) Tony was dragged out of his cell. Mr. Big-Man and another large man forced him into a room, and threw him in the door. "TONY!"

"Ziva." Tony ran to his girlfriend, hugging her very tightly. She retracted slightly, smiling. Then, with concern, he noticed a very large bruise which covered half her face. "Who did this to you?" Ziva shook her head, "I don't know. I think it's from when they knocked me out.' Tony looked angered, 'Are you okay, sweetie?" Ziva nodded, and kissed Tony lightly on the lips.

"Awwwww," a familiar voice rippled through the musky air, "DiNozzo's gone all soppy." Ray grinned at the lovers.

"You," Tony didn't let go of Ziva, scared someone would rip her away if he did, "I knew you'd be involved. I have a demand. Let Ziva leave. She's innocent. If you want to hurt someone, hurt me. Not Ziva. Not my Ziva." His girlfriend shook her head furiously, "Save yourself, Tony. I am worthless." Tony gasped, kissing Ziva again, "You're the most worthful girl in the world, Ziva."

Ray raised an eyebrow, "With that you are free to go." Tony couldn't believe his ears. He took Ziva's hand and headed towards to the door. Ray suddenly blocked their path, "Not you, Ziva. DiNozzo you can go. Let's just say this place will be the last place Ziva sees." Tony looked angered, and clutched Ziva close to him.

Then, Ziva was ripped from his warm arms. Tony fought off the men trying to get him out, and ran to his girl. "I love you, Zee. I'll get you out, even if it's the last thing I'll ever do." He kissed her, with more passion this time.

"I love you, Tony," Ziva whispered as Tony was dragged by the armpits away.

Sorry if it was too soppy for you. I just wanted to highlight Tony's love for Ziva. To make it up to you guy for not updating soon enough, I did two chapters in one night.

Peace be with you. xxxx
