CHAPTER 24
FRIDAY EVENING
An hour was left before the operation to trap Ray started, Ziva was getting ready in the bullpen attaching as many weapons to her as possible in case something happened and they couldn't switch Ziva with Sarah.
The anxiety was getting to her and she could feel her cramps in the abdomen getting more defined. She just wanted this mayhem to be over and go home and curl up with Tony.
"Okay let's go over our plans once more." McGee announced from his desk.
"Well I have to go into the store and start shopping as I would on any normal Friday evening. When I reach aisle 3, Jonas will grab me from behind. I'll try to resist but he'll pretend to hit my head with the butt of his gun rendering me unconscious. And pull a cloth over my head. He'll then drag me to the outside of the store where I'll switch with Sarah and then I head to our new home and stay with Abby, Ducky and my protection detail agent." Ziva completed.
"Remember to show your face to the camera he has installed before Jonas pulls the cloth over your head." McGee reminded her and Ziva nodded.
"And from there go to our home and not your apartment, If he senses something wrong I don't want him to come after you. Abby and Ducky will keep you company along with other agents." Tony said and leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"I would rather come with you" she whispered.
"I know baby, but that is risky, Ray might enter into the traffic camera feed and if he even catches a glimpse of you, where you are not supposed to be, then all of this can turn nasty." he said and kissed her forehead.
ZIVA'S POV
When the time arrived Ziva drove herself to the store and parked at her usual spot, the parking lot was empty, people usually come in a bit late for shopping and so she made her way to the fairly empty store.
The girl in the store waived at her knowing her from her weekly visit.
As calmly as she could Ziva, kept shopping and her heart started beating faster when she turned towards the aisle 3. She knew Tony and the team were nearby outside the store even if she couldn't see them.
She was picking up a packet of pasta from the shelf and inspecting it when she felt the expected grab from behind.
She tried to fake her resistance but it was hard not to let her training kick in. She let her face be visible to the discreet camera Ray had installed before she faked her unconsciousness on being hit by the butt of the gun. She was dragged to the nearby exit and once the hood was removed she saw Sarah waiting there in her same outfit and a fake pregnant belly.
Ziva went to Sarah "Do you have a knife on you?" she asked.
The agent shook her head, Ziva took out the knife concealed at her waist and handed it over, "Rule No. 9 never go anywhere without a knife." she said with a slight smile.
Ziva placed a hand on the other woman's cheek, "Thank you Sarah, and please be careful." she said and walked towards the place where the agents were waiting beside a blue sedan.
She got inside the car and watched as Jonas drove away with Sarah and sometime later another blue sedan followed. She clutched her star of David necklace and said a silent prayer.
RAY'S POV
Jonas dragged the body in his arms to the parking lot and keeping her leaned against the car tied her hands, Ray observed the scene unfold via the video being played, recorded by the cameras he had installed.
A slight sneer came to his face along with lust when he saw Ziva being overpowered and dragged out. The little beauty still had it in her to resist, even in this condition.
As soon as he saw Jonas get inside the car with his precious cargo in the back seat, he received a call from the burn phone that was Jonas'.
His initial plan was to give the location of his hideout as soon as Ziva was in the backseat, but ever since the eventful day at the cafe, he had this bad feeling of being set up. So he changed his plans and went for giving directions.
"'Great job Jonas, it looks like she will live after all, so put me on speaker and concentrate on your driving. I don't want even a scratch on my gorgeous wife-to-be and my child." he instructed.
"Where is she?" Jonas asked.
'All in due time, Wilson. Now take care of your driving. Change of plans I'll be giving you directions instead of the location follow them as you drive." He said.
"But I can't drive like this, I need a location." Jonas tried to get a location.
Do as I say, Wilson you are in no position to make demands." Ray growled
TONY'S POV
He saw the car containing Jonas and Sarah pull out of the parking lot. After a few minutes Gibbs started the sedan and followed Jonas.
Jonas had a earpiece with him so that Gibbs and the team could listen in on his conversation with Ray . Once Jonas gets the location, the plan was to take another route the faster one and hopefully get there before Jonas did. That way they made it to their destination without being in any of the traffic camera feeds that had Jonas' car in it.
All the while Jonas would be taking the longer route the one with the most traffic block to delay their arrival.
A few minutes after they started they heard the earpiece cackle to life and Ray's voice came through.
Tony heard the entire conversation, and the point where he referred Ziva and his daughter to be his gorgeous wife to be and child, his blood boiled.
Suddenly the change of plans and the new order to follow directions had them all shocked.
"Bastard" Gibbs yelled hitting the steering wheel.
"Boss, this way, if he is looking into the traffic cam feed then it won't take him long to figure out someone is following them." Tony said panicked.
"Who do they keep talking about?" McGee being the only sane one at the moment observed.
"McGee didn't you do a background search on Jonas Wilson?" Gibbs growled.
"Yes I did the basics, but with all the plans I didn't..." "Sorry boss I'll look into it in just a moment." McGee began to frantically search on his laptop sitting in the back seat.
Tony called and made sure Ziva was safe and then concentrated on where they were going.
"Boss we have a problem." McGee said from the back seat.
