Because there was no Tiva in the last chapter, here is another chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Ziva was tired of waiting. Why was it taking so long? If everything had gone okay with Tony he should have been back already. Unless something had happened? Was Tony hurt or worse dead? No, Ziva couldn't accept that, he had to be okay and she needed to find out. She was not one of those damsels in distress from the movies Tony watched all the times. No, she was Ziva David Mossad Assasin and she would go down fighting, she decided. With all the energy she could find in herself she got up from the floor and started pounding the door getting ready to spring to action the moment the door open, she could only hope her mind was stronger than her wounded body.
"Hey, I want to talk to whoever's in charge" at first she got no answer but she kept on pounding the door and asking for the person in charge over and over again. After a couple of minutes she heard footsteps on the other side of the door and then locks being opened.
"What is all this yelling for …" she immediately threw herself at the man. Every time she punched him or kicked him her body protested in waves of pain but she ignored them and didn't stop until the man was lying unconscious in the floor. She searched him and grabbed his gun, a knife and anything else she found on him that could be useful. Slowly she ventured out of the room, trying to stay hidden. The place looked like an old warehouse and the room they had her in was secluded, from what she could make it was in the back of the building. She looked for an exit but with no luck. Apparently the only way out was through the front door. As she moved closer to the front of the building she could hear voices, they were discussing shipments and payments. From where she was hiding she could see six armed man who looked as big as the one she had knocked unconscious and two more men who looked like they were in charge and who were also armed. She was not stupid; she knew she couldn't take out all the men. She could take out maybe two win the gun and another one with the knife but that still left five more and who knows how many more outside the building. Under optimal circumstances she could probably fight and take out at least two more but not the way she was feeling, as it was she was fighting to stay conscious. For now she would wait for nightfall, hopefully the dark will give her an advantage and she might get out of here yet. But luck was not on her side because not even five minutes later she felt something in the back of her head.
"Thinking about leaving us?" she had been so deep in her thoughts she hadn't realized the two men that were discussing the shipments were no longer there. She however, didn't give them the satisfaction of showing fear; she turned her head and put on a cynical smile. They grabbed the gun from her hands but thankfully did not realize she had the knife.
"I don't think your hospitality is to my liking"
"You want hospitality? I'll show you how welcoming I can be" he went to reach for her face but she spit at him, he answered with a growl and by pressing on her injured shoulder. This caused her to gasp in pain. "I was going to have some pleasure before killing you, but now I am just going to kill you and I will enjoy it" he pointed his gun at her head. Ziva didn't flinch, if there were her final moments then be it. Her only regret was not fighting for her feelings for Tony.
She heard a gunshot, she held her breath expecting pain but it never came. The pressure the gun was inflicting in her face lessened and she saw the man fall to the floor. She raised her eyes and saw the greatest thing of all; Tony was standing mere feet away with his gun in his hands. Ziva must have been in shock because all of the sudden he was no longer standing a few feet away but right next to her enveloping her in a hug.
"Zee you okay? My God I have been so worried, I am sorry I left you, I was so scared for you" I didn't see the need to speak, I just held on to him. All of the sudden he is pushing me to the floor and I recognize the sound of more gunfire. I switch from Ziva David woman in love to Ziva David Mossad Officer, I take back the gun I had before as well as the one the man who just tried to kill me had. Tony is firing at the other men; I can make out Gibbs and McGee also responding fire. There are three men left standing but their position is better than ours.
"Tony we have to move"
"No, we can't risk it" just then more shots come in our direction
"If we don't move we are sitting chicken"
"Ducks, Ziva, we are sitting ducks" he said with a small chuckle
"Tony just now you feel the need to correct me? I tell you we need to move" I see one of the men is down and the other one seems to be wounded because he is no longer shooting with any accuracy
"Ziva just stay down" we keep shooting until there is no longer any man standing. Gibbs gets out in the open and gives the all clear to come out.
"You see Ziva I told you we were fine here" I can see a small smile in his face, How much I love his smile. "Ziva I am talking to you, are you sure you're all right?" I can hear his voice like he is miles away. Now that I know he's safe and I am safe I can feel the adrenaline leave my body, I am fighting to keep my eyes open as the blackness threatens to take me. I feel a hot liquid and I think my shoulder wound must be bleeding again. Tony is now in my face, his expression changed, I can no longer see his smile, why is he not smiling? After all we are okay, we made it.
"Ziva you've been shot!" he shouts and I can see his bloody hands
"Now who is stating the obvious Tony" Why does my voice sound so strange
"No, Ziva you've been shot again" it is then than I feel a pain in my chest, now wonder I wasn't breathing right
"Just my luck to be shot twice, ha" I try to laugh but I can't, there's something in my mouth, it must be blood. I can see panic in his face "It's okay Tony, now it won't hurt anymore" I try hard to put a smile on my face but I probably wasn't very convincing because I can see tears in his face, I can't keep my eyes open anymore, so I decide to give in, but just before I can close them, I can see Tony getting close to my ear and then I hear the sweetest words "I love you Ziva," now I can die happy.
Please don't kill me, just review and let me know what you think will happen or what you want to see happen. I should be able to update tomorrow. Thanks again for reading.
