"What did they need help with Ducky?" Abby asked.

"Oh nothing Abigail. Just a scratch. I thought McGee could do better on his own," Ducky lied.

"Ducky," Abby said with suspicion, "McGee has cut himself on his kitchen knives before. He doesn't need help with a 'scratch'," there was a pause, "Ducky! What's going on?" Abby burst out crying, "He's dead isn't he?"

"Oh my dear, of course not. There was just an accident. The Director and Timothy just don't believe that they can trust medical care. You can never be too careful," Ducky told her.

"And Tony?" Abby asked. Ducky gave her a blank look.

"Come on Ducky. If Tony was okay he would've cracked a joke. That's just Tony. What happen?" Ducky explained the whole situation. Abby was stunned... and angry. She knew Ziva and her family were no good. "Bet Ziva's laughing about this sitting comfortably on a nice sofa or something," Abby mumbled.

"Abigail! Why are you so hostile towards Ziva? She has no grudge against the Agency. She would never abandon us on purpose," Ducky scolded, "she's with her father, yes. But, if she is awake he is probably giving her a long lecture about being with NCIS. He didn't want her here you know."

Abby was stunned. Ziva came against her father's orders? She felt bad for being so angry towards her.

Ziva awoke with a start. Ouch. She stopped moving and realized she was bound to a chair. But there were other injuries. Had she been beaten? "The explosion," Ziva remembered. Then she remembered Tony... and Gibbs. Were they okay? She knew McGee and the Director got out. "Gibbs is safe," Ziva thought. She remembered that he had been carried out by the others. But what about Tony? Was he bound somewhere else? Had he-? No. Don't think like that. Tony is fine. "I hope," Ziva thought. She heard a creak on some floorboards. "H-hello?" Ziva managed.

"My darling daughter. Why must you disobey me?"

It was her father

Tony awoke slowly. His head throbbing. He turned his head carefully. It was like a dagger was stabbing at him. He then noticed a figure next to him. He then realized it was Gibbs. "Gibbs?" Tony whispered.

"He's already been awake Tony," McGee told him.

"How long was I out? What happened? Where's Ziva and the Director?" Tony asked frantically.

"I'm here Tony," Jen said, "You have been out a couple of days, but we couldn't risk moving you or taking you to a medical facility. We don't know where Eli has his spies,"

"You forgot one question," Tony said eyeing McGee. He knew something was up. "Where is Ziva?"

Jen and McGee looked at each other. "You want to tell him?" Jen asked McGee in a low voice.

"Sure," McGee replied, "Tony, Ziva is most likely fine. Her father has her."

The worst answer Tony could possibly get. "He sent his son to kill Kate! You don't think he'll take drastic measures to make sure Ziva doesn't come back?" Tony was stunned. How could they have just left her there and let Eli get her?

"Tony," Jen said softly, "I know this is hard for you. Especially after what happened. But, we did try to get her back. They took her before we got a chance,"

"Why didn't they take me? Or shoot me? Eli isn't one to leave loose ends," Tony said.

"He'll try again soon," Jen said, very concerned about the journey that was to come.

She had been sitting there for hours. She knew he was just trying to figure out what to do with her. She wasn't worried about that. She was worried about her teammates and The Director. Tony may be with her... not that she'd ever get the chance to find out. If he was there... he was dead or soon to be. She hoped that he Director, McGee and Gibbs had gone home. Of course she wanted Tony to be okay too, but he had been blasted pretty badly. The injuries were brutal as far as she could tell from her own. "Oh, please let him be okay," Ziva thought.

"Ziva? Is that you?" someone in the dark asked.

"Who wants to know?" Ziva growled back.

"Me," the someone said stepping out into the light.

"No... it can't be," Ziva thought.
