Sorry guys had to repost this one as I put up the wrong version of this chapter.

Much love, Kahlen

The trio sat in the conference room in silence until there was a knock at the door fifteen minutes later, the door opened and Dani walked in, she waited until Director David pointed to a seat, she took it and waited

"Officer Rivkin is going to take over the interrogation," He told her, her head snapped up to look him in the eye, "You are too close,"

"Sir, give me another ten minutes and I can get Ziva's location," Dani stated, he sat there for a moment, thinking

"You have five,"

"Yes sir," She replied as she stood. The group made their way back to the interrogation room and Dani entered, the others returned to the observation room, the watch as Dani paced behind him for a few seconds, suddenly she lashed out at his neck and Kamid's hold body went ridged,

"You have four minutes until your lungs stop processing oxygen, you have that long to tell me where Ziva is," She stated calmly as she took a seat opposite him, Kamid's eyes went wide as he began to struggle to breathe

"Please," he rasped

"The location first,"

"I can't..... breathe," He struggled

"Where is Ziva?"

"Warehouse ...Cul...," He started trying to pull in much needed oxygen, "Pepper..,"

"Culpepper," Dani repeated, he nodded as he got paler, Dani stood up and went to walk out of the room when she paused and hit his neck again, he slumped forward as he could breathe again, Dani stopped at the door with her hand on the handle, "If you are lying to me, I will not release the nerve next time,"

Gibbs, Jenny and Director David were already waiting outside the room when Dani exited, the trio walked down to the bull pen to collect Tony and McGee. Gibbs threw a set of car keys at each of them

"Gas the cars," He instructed, the two men looked at each other for a second before grabbing their bags and heading down the stairs not waiting for the elevator, Dani pulled out her bag that she had left down by Ziva's desk and pulled out her gun, a backup and a knife.

On the other side of town Ziva had been awake for several hours now working against her bindings, she heard several men behind the door, they had been in once to try and get information from her, a split lip and a black eye later they left Ziva alone to think over their offer. They would spare her life if she gave them information on Mossad and NCIS.

"They have Masrouk," A voice said

"Her pair is coming for her," Another added. Dani, Ziva thought relieved that she was coming, but the question was would it be before they tried to kill her. She listened as the footsteps came towards the room she was in and she wondered how far away her pair was,

Dani ran down the stairs with Gibbs and jumped into the car, she didn't even blink as Gibbs peeled out of the garage and towards Culpepper,

"We need to go faster," She stated, Gibbs glanced over at her, "Masrouk is not acting alone, they know we have him. They'll kill Ziva,"

"It crossed my mind," Gibbs replied as he put his foot down pushing the car to its max, 20 minutes they were pulling up at the only warehouses the small town had. Before Gibbs had even stopped the car Dani jumped out made her way silently over to the edge of the building. Just as Tony and McGee pulled up and joined Gibbs, she had slipped inside through a slightly ajar door

"Damn," Gibbs swore as the remainder of his team made their way to the edge of the building.

Dani moved through the warehouse quickly but efficiently, clearing the rooms one by one, she listened as the sounds of voices and smacks got louder, she cringed for a split second a she knew the sound of skin on skin contact when a fist was landing, she needed a distraction and fast, she circled round so she was on the other side of the warehouse and saw piles of old metal poles stacked together, she knocked the pile over and ran. The crashing of the metal could be heard all over the warehouse and by everyone, two of the three men in with Ziva ran to see what had caused the commotion. Dani saw the door to the room Ziva was in was in fact open, she slid in and hid along the back wall in the shadow. Ziva had a black eye and a split lip, she was hunched slightly as if they had delivered a few blows to her ribs. The man raised his fist to strike her again and in one swift movement Dani raised her gun and fired hitting the man in the heart from behind. Ziva glanced up through her rapidly swelling eye and gave a small smile

"I knew you would come," She muttered in Hebrew

"Just as I know you would come for me," Dani replied as she untied the bindings on Ziva's wrists, "Can you stand?"

"Ken"

"Here," Dani said as she pressed her backup weapon into Ziva's hand, one eye or two; Ziva was still the best shot she knew, "This way,"

Dani moved forward first along the corridor, she knew the other two men where around, and she was certain she could hear the faint footsteps of the NCIS men. She glanced at Ziva who was following albeit weakly, they made it to an alcove in the wall,

"Stay here, I will find the other men," Dani told her, Ziva went to protest but was quickly silenced, "This is not a discussion, you are injured I am not,"

"Fine," Ziva replied making it clear it was anything but,

Dani inched along the dark corridor, listening carefully for the sounds of anyone behind her, as she edged towards a door she saw a shadow flit across the floor. She waited as she could hear someone grab the handle from the other side and pulled the door open, it was one of those who had been in on the kidnap. Weapon raised she moved forward into the light, the man spotted her immediately and aimed his gun towards her she fired before he did, though the sound was muffled by the silencer she had hastily screwed on.

"Hasam?" a voice whispered, it was all Dani needed to point her in the direction of the other one and within moments he too was dead. She made her way back to Ziva quickly, who was still clinging on to consciousness,

"We must leave,"

"Ok" Ziva replied as she took Dani's hand and pulled herself to her feet. The two women made their way towards the remaining footsteps, Dani heard a voice but couldn't quite recognise it

"Tony," Ziva muttered, Dani moved them forward, just then the door opened suddenly and the three male agents entered the room

"NCIS! Freeze!"

Dani had lowered Ziva to the ground and had her weapon raised and aimed before the door hit the wall

"Dani," Tony sighed with relief, he saw his partner on the floor and made his way over immediately,

"Zi, hey sweetcheeks wake up," He encouraged her

"T'ny, that y'u?" She whispered

"Yeah it's me," Tony replied as he picked her up and carried her bride style to the car, Gibbs walked over to Dani as McGee followed Tony

"You ok?"

"I am fine," She replied automatically

"Yeah," Gibbs scoffed, like he hadn't heard that before, "What about the men working with Masrouk?"

"Dead," She replied without hesitation before walking to the car.
