Chapter 9

Please leave a review:

After seeing Gibbs, the day had gone by quickly. The sun had slowly descended behind the perfect yellow sands of the desert, the stars had twinkled ever so brightly in the sky and the inmates had been packed into their cells after dinner.

--

The sun had risen with its usual intensity, announcing the arrival of the morning.

Gibbs had followed the warden to the cells, Jenny, McGee and Tony hot on his heels.

The prison was a dump, and didn't smell or look that different to one: crumbling walls, barred and cracked windows, filthy floors and walls smeared with God only knows what.

Followed by a handful of men, the warden, Jenny, Gibbs, McGee and Tony all came to a sudden halt. Facing down the corridor that was filled with cells.

"Inspection!" cried the warden, standing tall at the end of the corridor. Each cell door opened and the inmates stepped out. Gibbs watched as Abby and Ziva also stepped out, standing beside a large woman with dirty blond hair and a slightly smaller, prettier woman.

A handful of guards marched down the hallway, making their way towards the inmates' cells. The team watched as two guards stopped in front Abby and Ziva's cell. One walked in, whilst the other stood guard over the four woman standing outside.

The warden slowly walked down the hall, coming to a stop at the end cell. Another prison guard walked out, whispering something in Salim's ear. The warden nodded then looked at Abby and Ziva, taking something from the other mans hand.

Gibbs could feel something bad was about to happen as he saw the warden hold up a bag filled with a white power, dangling it in front of Ziva's face.

"What's this?" he asked her, warning in his tone.

"It looks like cocaine…sir" Ziva answered, forcing out the last word. The warden raised his eyebrow.

"Could you tell me what it was doing under your mattress?" Ziva licked her lips, shaking her head at the question, she then looked up at the woman beside her, spotting the small smirk that had appeared on her face.

"Obviously someone put it there." She said, instantly regretting her words as the man closest to her jabbed her hard in the stomach with his baton. She fell to her knees, and he was just about to hit her again when Abby spoke up.

"It's mine!" the man stopped short of landing the baton hard on Ziva's back, the warden looked across at her, surprised.

"Yours?"

Abby swallowed hard, shaking slightly.

"Y…yes warden."

Ziva glanced up at her from her position on the floor, holding her stomach tightly. Watching as the warden stepped closer to her friend.

"I am surprised at you, Miss Sciuto…I am afraid you are going to have to be punished. But what shall that punishment be? " Salim stroked his beard and looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, patronizing her.

"Shall we put her isolation sir?" One guard asked, Abby tensed up. Salim shook his head.

"No. I have a better idea….ten lashings. That should keep you in line." Abby made a sound that resembled a whimper as they took her away. Ziva lunged for the nearest guard.

"No!" she shouted, the man turned round, striking her with his baton again. She fell with a thud to the floor even as Abby then turned to look back at Ziva, smiling bravely as she left with the guards. Salim looked down at Ziva and she looked angrily back up at him.

"I want to see her in my office!"

The warden marched away, ascending the steps and pushing past Gibbs,a sly smile on his face. Gibbs watched as Abby was led away, silent tears forming in her eyes. His gaze then moved to Ziva; she was standing now, her hands handcuffed behind her back as she was lead the same route the warden had taken, her feet seeming to drag along the floors.

She hadn't even looked at them as she walked passed, keeping her head down and averted to the floor in an uncharacteristic manner.

Gibbs, Jenny, McGee and Tony soon followed.

Xxx

As soon as Ziva entered the warden office, she was instantly pushed to the floor, landing on the hard wood with a thud. She sighed and attempted to get up, glaring at the guard that had pushed her, daring him to do it again. At her glare, he unconsciously took a step back.

The Warden chuckled as he watched from behind the desk, folding his arms casually over his chest.

"Miss Day-vid" he anounced, Ziva rolled her eyes.

"It's Dah-Veed!" The man chuckled again.

"Of coarse." Salim smiled widely. Then rose from his chair, walking over to the front of his desk and leaning against it.

"You have been causing a lot of trouble since you arrived here, I have already lost one of my best officers because of you and my inmates are more violent then usual."

It was Ziva's turn to laugh. "If you are talking about that dirty, idiotic, poor excuse for a man that tried to rape me, then you need to employ better officers, and as for the inmates, maybe you should think about running your prison a lot better then you are now!" Ziva mocked. Salim's smile faded into an angry snarl.

"Who are you to tell me how to run things… Jew!" he advanced towards her, a fierce expression in his eyes. Ziva stood her ground.

"You are nothing but a piece of trash that's stinking up my prison. Maybe I should have let my guard have his way with you." he said angrily. Ziva gritted her teeth together. He then smiled, inching closer. Pressing himself to her.

"Maybe, I should have my way with you." the man behind Ziva chuckled, his laugh raspy and husk and Ziva tried hard not to flinch as he ran a hand across her dirty cheek.

Ziva was glad for Gibb's intrusion as he came bursting through the door, anger clearly written in his eyes. The warden sighed, looking up at him.

"What?" he asked simply. Gibbs gaze didn't falter as the guard stepped closer to him.

"Call it off!"

"Call what off?" the warden replied innocently. Knowing what the American was referring to.

"The damn lashings, call them off!" he shouted again. The warden smiled brightly.

"I had forgotten all about that…are they ready?!" he squealed excitedly. Then looked at his guard. "Let's go and enjoy the show!" Gibbs grunted as he was pushed out the room. The warden turned to Ziva again, biting his bottem lip. He then leaned in and said against her ear.

"You wont get lucky a third time…Jew"

He looked back at her, then grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her through the door and to the court yard.

So. how Do you like it. Good? bad? i though there was time for some Abby now. So tell me what you thought of it.
