Thanks for reading.

Two weeks had gone by and Ziva was ready to leave. She could walk again, and she assumed she could fight.

If she could to those things she could go back to work.

Too bad her work was blown up.

She wondered where they were going to have their makeshift NCIS.

She had been waiting an hour for a wheelchair to come. She was stuck here with only a crappy magazine to keep her occupied. She groaned and threw it at the wall.

Where was the person with the wheelchair?

Someone cleared their throat at the door and knocked.

"Come in" she called

She heard the sound of the wheels being pushed on the clean hospital floor.

In walked Jeanne, holding a smirk on her face, of course it had to be her.

"Dr. Benoit" she nodded curtly

"Miss David" clearly mispronouncing her last name on purpose

"It is Dah-Veed" she snapped

"Oh right. I am so sorry."

"Just get me out of here." Ziva was losing her self control

"Right away Miss"

She walked over to her bed, and Ziva stiffly climbed in.

"How is the weather today Dr. Benoit?"

"Oh I don't know. I have been here since four a.m."

"What a shame."

"Yes. It is."

Jeanne then pushed Ziva's chair into a wall.

"Ow! Watch where you are going"

"Of course, I am sorry Ziva."

They went into an elevator, much bigger than the one they had at NCIS. Ziva sighed when she thought of NCIS. It was blown up, because of her. Because of her want to be happy. She should have just let Tony or McGee take them. No. She made no mistakes. But no matter how much she tried to convince herself that, she always knew she was wrong.

She realized they were almost at ground level. She had been thinking for a long time.

Until Jeanne pushed the emergency stop switch and every thing became darker.

"Why did you do that?" Ziva asked confused

Jeanne turned around, and she had a knife in her hand. A very large one too.

Ziva gulped, she should have trusted her gut, when she knew Jeanne was never going to give up so easily.

Could Ziva fight? She thought she could; only she never thought she would have to.

"Jeanne?" she tried to calm her

A slap across the face "Shut up bitch."

Ziva breathed in. "I never thought of you as the violent type"

"Please, do you think I went my whole life without knowing my father's job? I was supposed to take over the business. Look at me now. This would have made my dad proud." She laughed "I guess you wouldn't know what that feels like. I know your father would never love you the way mine did. Even when you shot your own brother, Ari, under his orders. He still didn't love you. He sent you on a suicide mission in Somalia. No loving dad would ever to that to his daughter."

Ziva's blood was boiling. "I can't believe Tony ever loved you."

"Believe it bitch"

Ziva stood up and kicked Jeanne in the shins, trying to make her drop the knife. She swung her fist and it collided with Jeanne's cheek. She gasped and swung her knife. Ziva grabbed her arm before it came any closer. She twisted it and Jeanne dropped the knife. Her eyes opened up wide, she didn't know Ziva could fight. Ziva swung her leg and knocked Jeanne off her feet. Jeanne crawled towards the knife trying too grab it. She succeeded and turned over so she was pinning Ziva down. Seeing Ziva gasp as she sat on her broken ribs, she ran the knife along her stomach. Ziva gasped and tried to grab her hands. Jeanne pushed harder, smiling when she saw the blood run off of her victim.

Ziva felt Jeanne's hands grasp her throat. She couldn't believe she let Jeanne overpower her so easily. She closed her eyes and willed Jeanne to let go of her.

She looked to her right and saw Jeanne had laid hand there. She was waiting for Ziva to die.

Ziva moved and grabbed the knife before Jeanne knew what hit her. Ziva rolled over and pinned her down. She was struggling so Ziva plunged the knife in her stomach, as if she wanted her to suffer, which she did.

Ziva could feel herself losing blood, fast. She cut Jeanne in the arm until she lost enough blood to pass out.

She used Jeanne's doctor coat and pressed it to her wound. She grabbed Jeanne's cell phone and dialed Gibbs' number.

"Gibbs"

"Hey Gibbs." Ziva winced when she pushed harder on the wound

"Ziver? What's wrong? Are you out of the hospital yet?"

"No. My…" she coughed and became very dizzy. "Escort. Was Jeanne."

"Ziva! Where are you? What's wrong?"

"Gibbs… she… t-tried to kill m-me"

Gibbs was already in his car, ready to head to wherever she was.

"Where are you?"

"An elevator on Bethesda. H-Hurry."

Then the line went dead.

Ziva was losing blood, she couldn't think. She was dizzy and everything was blurry. She could remember Jeanne tried to kill her and they were in an elevator. She couldn't remember but she knew she had to do something.

'Come on! Think!'

Then she remembered. The emergency switch was turned off; she had to get it on for Gibbs. She stood up, which sent another wave of dizziness through her and made her fall down.

She knew what she had to do. She got on her knees and used the railing in the side to pull her to the door. To the right was the emergency switch. She started carefully crawling, until she reached her destination. Her vision became fuzzy, but she could see the switch.

She moved her hand up and pulled it down. Then her world became black.

Gibbs was a fast driver. Today was no exception. Today he was driving to save the life of on of his own. He grabbed his cell phone, narrowly avoiding a collision with a semi truck.

He dialed. .

"DiNozzo" Tony yawned

"DiNozzo! Get your ass up and make McGee drive you to Bethesda."

"I can drive myself. I don't know why you're making McGee 'babysit' me. What's going on at Bethesda?"

"Ziva." Was his answer

"Boss, who will watch the kids?"

"Abby"

Then he hung up.

Tony ran into McGee's living room where Abby, Tom, James, and Aria were watching a movie.

He grabbed the remote and clicked the power button

There was a chorus of 'Heys!' And 'Turn it back on Tony'

"Come on Tim, you're driving me to the hospital." Tony said, panicking.

"Tony what's wrong?"

"Ziva. Abby you stay here and watch James and Aria."

"No! We want to go help Ziva too."

"Fine." Tony agreed, knowing wasting time arguing was not going to help Ziva

They all ran out to McGee's car, where they had to squeeze for all of them to fit.

Ziva woke up to a very bright room. She blinked a couple times to get used to the light.

She was in a hospital, didn't she just get out of one?

"You're awake"

She turned her head and saw Gibbs

"Why am I here?"

"You don't remember?"

"No. wait, let me think." She closed her eyes and suddenly everything came rushing back to her.

"Is she dead?"

"No. she is in the room across from you. Ziva, do you really remember what happened? Because she is telling people that you tried to kill her first. Everyone believes her Ziva. You need to tell the truth."

"Gibbs" she couldn't believe he didn't believe her "You don't believe me?"

"Ziva. She is telling people you tried to kill her. I know you didn't, but the cops might not believe you. Ziva, you are an ex Mossad agent and she is a doctor with a spotless record. Who would you believe?"

Ziva's eyes filled with tears "Where is Tony?"

"Jeanne"

Ziva felt her heart breaking in two right there. How could he not believe her?

"What should I do Gibbs?"

"Get Jeanne to admit it. You could always bring a recorder in and record her confession."

"I will try that Gibbs. Where will I get a recorder?"

He pulled something out of his jacket pocket "I'm way ahead of you Ziver"

"Thank you Gibbs. I knew I can count on you."

Ziva called a nurse and asked her to bring her to Jeanne's room.

When they arrived she saw Tony sitting in a chair, talking about movies.

He looked up and was shocked "You're awake!" he stood up and hugged her

"Hello Tony." She nodded. At least they we not back together "May I have a minute alone with Jeanne?"

"Sure."

Ziva slowly wheeled herself next to Jeanne's bed. "We need to talk."

"I agree"

"Why did you try to kill me Jeanne?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Come on. There's no one here. I just want to know."

"Fine. No one believes you anyway. You took Tony away from me."

"That is the only reason."

"Yes. It was kill worthy. I guess both of our fathers taught us well."

"Yes. I guess they did. Why did you wait that long to try to kill me?"

"I didn't want to make anyone suspicious."

"You did a pretty good job of it."

"Thank you. You got your answer now, leave"

"Sure."

Back in her room Ziva and Gibbs went over what got recorded

"We have enough. She will go to jail Ziva. You're safe."

"Thanks Gibbs. For everything."

"You're welcome Ziva"

Two days later Ziva and Jeanne were released from the hospital.

Gibbs had turned in the evidence to the local LEOs and they were waiting outside to pick up Jeanne.

Tony had insisted he drive Ziva home and Ziva knew it was more than just being kind.

Once they were in Tony turned to her.

"Ziva, you have to be more careful. Why didn't you ask for another escort?"

"Why are you so worried Tony?"

"Ziva David, I love you and I don't want to lose you! You can't keep doing stupid stuff"

"It was not my fault she had a drive to kill me."

"I know."

Then Tony cupped her face, and kissed her gently. She kissed back, only fiercer.

She pulled away "Let's go. Aria and James are waiting for us back at my apartment"

"Ay ay captain"

"What?"

"Never mind"

Ok so,

Here is the long over due chapter of mine. I didn't realized how long this chapter was until I did work count. Wow! I think it might be my longest chapter yet.

So, this story has a ton of stuff left for it so, it will be here for a while.

If you love this story and you love NCIS you should review.
