Chapter Ten - Override
SECNAV and Vance exchanged looks before looking at the agent that burst into the office.
'' Agent Gibbs, heard of knocking?'' asked SECNAV, his attitude doing little to stop Gibbs' temper from boiling over.
'' Gibbs, what's wrong?'' asked Vance, no disrespect to SECNAV but he wouldn't blame Gibbs if he decided to throw a punch in the smarmy bastard's direction.
'' David, pull her out.'' he demanded.
SECNAV sighed and looked at Gibbs over his shoulder. '' Agent Gibbs, we've been over this. Officer David is in no immediate danger. We have people observing the operation, if it was taking a sour turn, I'd know about it.''
'' Would you? Would you really? Wanna watch this and explain it to me then?'' said Gibbs, throwing a flashdrive at Vance.
Vance caught it, despite not expecting it and he plugged it into his computer and played the file. Vance visibly paled and he watched Gibbs' expression; his eyes anywhere but the screen, he clearly couldn't take it a second time.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
'' What's the safe word?'' asked the tempDom, the crowd laughed and Ziva muttered it.
'' I'm sorry, I can't hear you.'' he raised a bamboo pole and brought it onto Ziva's bare back. Her cry filled the room, prompting more laughs.
'' Red!'' cried Ziva.
'' Good, you remember that now, won't you, Princess?'' He raised the pole and brought it onto her again, before something in him snapped. He kept hitting her with it, ignoring her with a laugh when she screamed the safeword.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Vance was impressed by Gibbs' self restraint, if he were in Gibbs' shoes, he would've flown for the Secretary of the Navy by now.
'' Get her out of there.'' repeated Gibbs. '' You have all of your evidence, you know where the FBI agents are, you know there's drugs involved. It's what you suspected and more.''
SECNAV took off his glasses and rubbed his temples. '' Agent Gibbs-''
'' That's not BDSM, that's a torture ring!'' argued Gibbs.
'' Special Agent Gibbs! Officer David knew exactly what she was signing up for when she accepted this. One more weekend and the operation is over. We need more evidence.''
'' They'll kill her.'' deflated Gibbs. '' Whether it's an accident or on purpose, they'll kill her. Look at her, she can't take anymore.'' said Gibbs, pointing at the screen. Ziva's reflection showing tears falling down her face, a frozen anguished cry escaping her lips.
SECNAV was about to reply when Vance's secretary shouted. '' You can't go in there!''
The door swung open, revealing a very pissed looking Mossad Director Eli David. SECNAV stood, but held back as he saw that neither Gibbs or Vance were affected by the stranger's arrival.
'' You are in charge of this mission, yes?'' he asked, walking in to SECNAV's space after seeing his daughter on the screen.
'' I am- Who the hell are you?''
'' His name is Eli David. He's the Director of Mossad.'' said Gibbs, unable to hide the growing smirk on his face.
'' David... as in Ziva David.'' said SECNAV, looking back at the screen.
Eli drew himself up to his full height. '' I suggest you get my daughter out of there. Or there will be consequences to pay, I assure you.'' SECNAV remained quiet, glaring at Gibbs when he spoke.
'' Might want to do as he says. His people have a habit of making things difficult for us and our government.''
SECNAV looked at Eli again, before deflating. '' Terminate the mission. Get your agent out of there.''
Gibbs bowed his head, flashed a victorious smirk in Vance's direction before leaving the office, surprised when he heard Eli following him. They stopped at the top of the staircase.
'' I can't thank you enough for coming. That bastard-''
'' It was an easy thing to see, Agent Gibbs. Do you have a location on Ziva?''
'' Yeah, the camera they gave her has a tracking device... ask McGee.'' said Gibbs beginning to jog down the stairs.
'' I am coming with you, Agent Gibbs.''
Gibbs stopped and walked back up. '' You sure that's a good idea?'' he asked.
'' Probably not, but if you want a job done right-''
'' You do it yourself. Come on.''
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Tony looked up from his desk as Gibbs walked into the Bullpen followed by Eli. '' Er, Boss?''
'' Grab your gear, DiNozzo. We're pulling the plug on Ziva's assignment.''
'' Finally!'' cried Tony, pulling his gun out of his drawer.
'' McGee, call the FBI, let 'em know that we're on our way. They should get there too.''
'' On it, Boss.'' said McGee, pressing his phone to his ear as he slung his gearbag on his shoulder.
Gibbs looked at Eli. '' I assume you're covered?''
'' You assume correctly, Agent Gibbs.'' said Eli, pulling his own weapon out and clicking the safety off.
'' How the hell did you get that through customs?'' asked Tony as the four men trooped to the elevator.
'' I am the owner of several weapons, Agent DiNozzo. Not all of them are in Israel.''
Gibbs smirked. It was good to have the Mossad Director on side for a change, even if he wasn't 100% sure he should have tagged along. As emotionally lacking as Eli was, Gibbs was sure that there would be some emotion as soon as he laid eyes on his daughter. It was hard enough Gibbs to remain neutral, he struggled too much when it came to seeing the footage of Ziva, and he struggled even harder when it came to not striking SECNAV. He was also sure that he'd have to face some form of repercussion at some point, his behaviour was not that of standard NCIS protocol. But Gibbs didn't care, he was getting his Ziver back.
