CHAPTER 28
THE NEXT DAY
UNKNOWN LOCATION
INTERROGATION
Ray stood there in the middle of the dingy room. His face hidden by the ugly mop of a hair. His hands were outstretched to the side and he was still out of his consciousness because of the stab to his side, courtesy of Sarah Carter, and being left standing after losing so much blood.
As for the stab wound, it hadn't hit any major organs all he needed was few stitches by Ducky the night before. Who had left after leaving a message "I look forward to seeing you on my autopsy table soon." he had conveyed.
The entire mission was under wraps, and Vance had permitted them to conduct the interrogation off the books.
Fifteen minutes later the door burst open and in came a very furious Special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and an equally furious special agent Anthony DiNozzo.
Tony took hold of the bucket that contained ice cold water, Gibbs held Ray's head upright by his hair and the former one splashed it onto his face with force.
The freezing water made him wake up gasping for breath, he was not given time to catch his breath and soon the second bucket of water made its way on to his face with force, the force and the chilling temperature cut into his skin with burning intensity.
He tried to turn his face away, but Gibbs held on to his head to face the direct intensity of his senior field agents' anger.
Once the man started turning a violent shade of blue with the lack of oxygen, Tony stopped his actions and undid his ties holding him up. He cuffed him and held on to his hair along with Gibbs and dragged him onto the only chair in the room.
"Time to wake up Cruz; see we got you a special interrogation room. Made just for bastards like you." Tony sneered.
The man in question was trying to still catch his breath when Tony all of a sudden hit him squarely on the jaw, and made him fall sidewise from his chair and on to the ground.
Gibbs yanked his head back, "The guts you had to touch my daughter much less violate her. When we are done with you, you won't even remember how to stand; you will curse the day you were born. And don't worry we will not be charging you or sending you to prison, we have you, all to our selves, and we will make sure you die inch by inch"
Ray sneered at Gibbs, an ugly smirk contorting his face, " I did it didn't I, I saw her that day waddling with that pregnant belly. I impregnated that whore didn't I" he said with that ugly smirk.
Tony who was standing behind Gibbs came forward and kicked right into Ray's stomach with his boot clad feet.
He curled up in pain and that was when the second blow came right into his groin. Tony kept hitting him, he held on to his shirt and yanked him on to his feet and threw him against the stone wall hitting his head and sliding back to the ground.
"You won't kill me, you will need me to know what is planned ahead for that bitch and that kid inside her."
"It won't be even old enough to call for its mommy before I cut it into pieces and send them back to her." Ray growled trying to gain leverage.
"And you will lose your body parts sooner than we planned, I won't let you even close enough to breathe the same air as Ziva and our child will." Tony growled back pressing his foot into the other man's shoulder joint.
He screamed out in pain, and thrashed on the ground. "You are not going anywhere for a very long time Cruz, You won't even know when you spilled the beans about your big secret plans. And if you think you'll escape or die before that I don't think you know me too well" Gibbs growled.
Ray kept looking at Tony, blood flowing out of every hole in his face. "Protecting that bitch like always aren't you DiNozzo, and now adopting that little **** of hers as well. Well guess what, that little filth is mine I put it in there, inside your precious girlfriend."
Tony yanked him along the wall and before Gibbs could stop him he took out his knife and stabbed him in the shoulder joint that he had earlier kicked. Gibbs dragged Tony off of Ray and to the only door in the room, while Ray screamed in agony. Once they reached there they heard Ray talking through his gritted teeth once more, wheezing along with trying to talk through the blinding pain.
"I knew it all along, that bitch was cheating on me, and all she had to talk about was Tony DiNozzo. Keep this in mind DiNozzo; I have something of hers that she doesn't want a soul in this world to see. And that kid, that too is mine, no matter how many papers you sign, and it will suffer just like its mother."
Gibbs closed the door before Tony would react and kill that bastard all too quickly before they got all the information they needed.
OUTSIDE IN THE HALLWAY
"DiNozzo, we need him alive for a few more days, try to contain yourself. Ziver is in danger and we cannot protect her and the baby without getting all the information we can from him." Gibbs said.
"What happened boss? What more did you get out off him?" asked McGee who was standing guard in the hallway.
"He has planned ahead McGee, there is more to this than just Ray. There are more people involved than he and that Jonas guy."Gibbs informed.
Tony was pacing up and down, rubbing his neck frantically. He couldn't get that bastard's words out of his mind. He felt the irresistible urge to pack up Ziva and their daughter and hide them away in the North Pole or somewhere.
"DiNozzo, he was talking about something of Ziva's he has. What was that about?" Gibbs asked.
Tony shook his head refusing to speak about the unspeakable.
"Anthony whatever it is we need to know..." Gibbs started.
"No Boss that dirt bag is right; it's something Ziva doesn't want anyone to ever know. And she is right Gibbs; some things are better left unseen and unsaid." Tony growled. And just like that Tony looked old and tired, like a person who has seen and been through enough bad for a lifetime. And the man was just about to start a new life with the love of his life and their daughter.
'But if it can help us figure out anything about his plans, we need to know too." Gibbs tried to reason.
"It doesn't help, believe me. It is just something he uses to blackmail Ziva. It has nothing to do with his plans." Tony said and when he saw that his boss was still unconvinced he let out a breath and let slip another small piece of information.
"It is about her time in Somalia, trust me It will not help us with this in any way." Tony informed.
"I...I need to check on Zi, make sure she is alright." he said and walked out quickly.
