A/N: Back from camp, yay! Gave me a lot of time to quote NCIS though, it's amazing how many episodes are set out in the bush.

(Ravenous was on while I was away and you know what Gibbs thinks about coincidences.)

(Imagine Gibbs'/Mark Harmon's voice)

Previously on (this) NCIS (fanfic)

"Ziva," Tony looked up from his feet. "You've nearly been killed countless times, but the look on your face to day is something I've NEVER ever seen."

"Tony," Ziva paused. "I, I am sorry but I can not tell you."

"Apologising is a sign of weakness." He said before returning his eyes to looking at his feet.

What Tony didn't realise though was that ever since Ziva had woken up this morning all she had felt was weak.

I hope that kinda sums it up.

"The petty officer had a pretty close friend." Tony said while pulling out a drawer full of women's lingerie.

Tony waited for Ziva to say something about it not being his colour or not his size, but she didn't.

"We talked to the family and friends, said he didn't have a girlfriend." Ziva said pointing out the obvious.

"Freeze! Federal agent!" McGee's voce rang out through the house.

"McGee!" Tony and Ziva both said together before they started running into the kitchen only to see McGee getting knocked to the ground.

Tony instinctively ran forward trying to knock the assailant to the ground but the assailant just grabbed him and threw him over on top of McGee. Ziva just stood there frozen in fear flash backs from the past clouding the present.

***Flashback***

"No please stop." Ziva had prayed while crying she had been pinned to the bed crying, praying hoping.

The man on top of her smiling, laughing at her pain, her suffering.

***End Flashback***

The masked man came over to her and kissed her on the head and then drew a gun from his inside pocket.

"Freeze! Don't even think about it" Gibbs said accompanied by the naval officer, they both had their weapons drawn and were getting ready to shoot.

"Play nice."

"I don't play, and I certainly don't play nice with terrorists."

"I don't think shooting me would be a wise idea, see I've hidden a C4 bomb somewhere in here and I'm wearing a dead man switch , you shoot me you all die you let me leave, well then you have a chance." He said smiling, knowing that he'd won.

Ziva knew what she should be doing. She should be elbowing him in the groin, she should be threatening him with her knife, she should have fought back before, but she couldn't she couldn't do any of that. There were too many memories running through her head too many bad memories.

"Now you put those down," The assailant said referring to the guns. "And we can all leave here alive."

Gibbs and the naval officer slowly put down their guns.

"That's better." He said as he crept away making sure no one had a gun pointed at him.

At The Office:

"David, my office now!"

Ziva followed Gibbs into his office, more commonly known as the elevator. Gibbs hit the emergency handle/button/switch almost immediately after entering.

"Why didn't you do anything before?"

"Gibbs I, I just couldn't." Ziva said trying to hide her pain with frustration.

"What the hell are you talking about?! You have to be the strongest person I've ever met."

Ziva couldn't help but smile at this comment.

"That dream, you were right about it, it affected me, more then I thought it would."

"Do you wanna tell me what that dream was about?"

Ziva stood there horrible memories racing through her mind. "Gibbs, when I was a teenager something happened to me, something that I never told anyone about, well except for Samantha."

"Who?"

"She was my best friend when I was a kid, we grew up together."

"Oh. Ok. Um. What did you never tell anyone about?"

Ziva looked at him, trying to be strong and started telling him, but she got to a point and couldn't finish and fell backwards as Gibbs tried to give her a hug making her hit the emergency handle/button/switch.

"Ziva, do you know who did this to you?"

Ziva slowly looked up nodding.

"Who?" Gibbs asked her astonished.

It was at that very moment that Leon Vance the new Director of NCIS decided to enter the elevator.

"Agent Gibbs, Officer David. Officer David are you alright?"

Ziva gave Leon a brief nod, and then gave Gibbs a pleading look. Right now Leon Vance was the last person she wanted to see let alone talk to.

"It may interest you two to know that I have just got security cameras installed in here."

Ziva looked up; this was most definitely NOT good.

~*~*

***Ziva's POV***

Vance strutted into the elevator as cocky as ever, tilting his head towards her and asking if she were ok though still managing to keep the toothpick in his mouth. But asking her if she were ok, how did he have the nerve he of all people should know that she wasn't ok, not since she was a teenager, not since he raped her.

***End Ziva's POV***

A/N: Well was it a big enough surprise? Was it worth the wait?

Here are your options:

I can wrap this up in probably about two chapters, have Leon arrested etc

OR

Leon can get arrested, escape kidnap and Ziva

NOTE: This would make the story longer but it would also give a more TIVA ending

Any other ideas would be very much appreciated and seriously considered.

You chose and tell me; after all I'm not the one reading this.
