Meanwhile back at NCIS headquarters.
"I can't believe Paul has done this. I trusted him, Ziva trusted him," Gibbs muttered angrily.
Just then Abby came running to him.
"I have found him!" she shouted excited.
"How did you manage that?" Tony wanted to know.
"Traced his cell," Abby replied proudly.
"Where?" Gibbs all but barked, after all he wanted to get both his agent and her kid back safely.
"Here," she replied, handing him the address.
Soon after the three remaining agents were in front of the house, where Ziva and Kalisha were held.
"You two, take the back. I will take the front," ordered Gibbs.
"On it, Boss," Tony replied.
They surrounded the house, holding there positions until Gibbs gave the signal. When he did they stormed the house. Finding first nothing but an old couch and TV as Paul walked up the stairs.
"Where are they Paul?" Gibbs demanded immediately, aiming his gun right between Paul's eyes.
"You won't find them," the rough NCIS agent said, slightly laughing.
"Where are they?" Tony repeated, holding up one of Kalisha's hair clips that he found on the floor.
"You don't scare me, DiNozzo," Paul laughed confidently.
"Tell me were they are," Gibbs shouted again just before he had shot right next to Paul's head.
The shot momentarily stunned the rough agent so much that Tony and McGee were able to make a grab for him, overpowering Paul in seconds.
As they hurled Paul out of the back door, Gibbs followed them suit. With Paul safely cuffed and locked in the the car, the team headed back to search the house again. But as they turned back to the house they noticed smoke coming from it.
Unbeknown to the agents, Paul had used a small remote control in his trouser pocket to detonate a small bomb in the basement of the house.
"ZZIIIIIVVVAAAA!" Tony shouted, picking up his pace.
The agents rushed back in to the house in order to find Ziva and Kalisha.
Meanwhile
As the house is overcome with smoke and flames, Ziva franticly tried to keep Kalisha safe. The explosive was detonated directly in front of their door and was planted to damage the mayor support column of the ceiling as much as possible.
The result was that the ceiling came partly crashing down onto them.
A piece of wood had fallen onto Ziva, trapping her leg effectively under it, whilst some smaller pieces had managed to hit Kalisha who had, upon her mother's command, ran to the other corner when the ceiling had started to come down.
"Kalisha!" screamed Ziva as she struggled to get free and get to her unconscious daughter.
"Please, wake up! You need to get out of here," she prayed as tears fell down her cheeks, leaving behind clear paths on her now dirty face.
As the smoke became nearly unbearable and Ziva had started to give up hope, the door was flung open.
Seconds before
"Ziva, Kalisha," Tony shouted, coughing as he was overwhelmed by the smoke in the house.
"Boss, Tony! Down here," shouted McGee from downstairs, were most of the fire was.
"Clear," He coughed as he checked the first room in the basement.
Gibbs and Tony, who had just arrived downstairs, immediately went to the second door.
Kicking the burning wood away, they tried to force the door open.
"Paul, he must have the key," coughed Tony as Gibbs took off, running outside to their car.
It didn't take him long to return with the key and to open the door. Not acknowledging the cloud of smoke or the fire which was spreading around the small room now, the agents blindly checked all corners.
"Ziva!" Tony screamed as he nearly stumbled over her. Quickly checking for a pulse, he was relieved when she started to move.
"Tony? Please get Kalisha out! She is hurt" she croaked, pointing over to where she had seen her daughter's lifeless body before the smoke made it impossible to see her.
"DiNozzo, did you find Ziva?" Tony heard his boss shout.
"Yes, but she's trapped. I can't move the beam and it has caught fire!" Tony urgently replied, trying to lift the beam anew.
Only a few seconds later Gibbs was beside him.
"David," the older agent went to kneel next to the Israeli, willing the agitated woman to calm down before she suffocated on an overdose of azote.
"Kalisha," she whispered, on the verge to pass out because of the lack of oxygen.
"McGee has her. She'll be okay. She's already outside," he tried to calm her down, hoping that he wasn't telling her a lie as he said that Kalisha would be okay.
McGee and he had instantly noticed the piece of wood which had pierced through the small kid's arm. Not to mention the amount of blood soaking her formerly yellow shirt.
Not losing any more time, Gibbs then went to lift the beam with the help of Tony.
"DiNozzo, pull her out," he ordered his agent as the beam was lifted high. As they couldn't place it somewhere else, he willed himself to be able to hold it up alone and long enough, so that Tony could pull the now unconscious Ziva out from under it.
"Boss," Tony tried to argue.
"Do it!" shouted Gibbs.
Hurriedly the senior field agent did as told, praying that he wouldn't hurt his partner more than necessary.
"Let's get out of here," Gibbs pushed Tony, who had lifted Ziva up into his arms, in the direction of the stairs.
"Shh, it's okay, Sweet cheeks," Tony reassured his waking partner as he placed her on a gurney.
"I'm fine, where is Kalisha?" Ziva asked, her voice making an ill rasping sound.
Looking frantically around, she tried to get up as she removed the oxygen mask, which the attending EMT had given her moments before.
"With McGee and Gibbs," Tony told her, pointing over to the other ambulance as he placed the oxygen mask back onto her mouth and nose.
"Take me to her," demanded Ziva, trying to get up again after throwing the mask aside.
Tony sighed as he shared a look with the EMT, before he picked his partner up and carried her to the other ambulance.
Just as they came near, Kalisha began turning blue, causing everyone to worry even more.
"What happens to her?" shouted Ziva, fearing for her daughter's life. Also due to the smoke inhaled, her shout resemble more of an high pitched shriek.
"She has swallowed her tongue and we think her lung has collapsed," the ambulance attendant replied, hurriedly attaching some cables onto the small girl's chest.
"We have to get moving. Now!" the other EMT insisted.
"I'll go with her," Gibbs quickly assured his frightened female agent.
Gibbs gently squeezed her hand and gave his senior agent a silent order to keep Ziva safe and calm, before he entered the ambulance and it sped off.
"Kalisha," whispered Ziva softly against Tony's chest as he silently carried her back to the other ambulance.
