CHAPTER SEVEN
An: Aha, still not that last chapter. I was planning on it but it just didn't feel right yet.
Well I've rewritten this chapter several times, I hope you all still like it. Btw, thanks for all those reviews. That means a lot to me and it's what keeps me writing.
There were so many things going through Kate's mind. At first she didn't want to admit it but she was scared. She kept telling, convincing, herself it was the only way, but was it really? Or was this an excuse to make contact with her captor (like she had done so many times before) to understand his motives. This definitely was her weakest point. The words Stockholm syndrome kept going through her mind. She experienced it with Ari before so why would this be any different?
She had no more time to rethink her method since the door, on which she knocked before, opened. David smiled when he saw Kate standing in the doorway. He knew immediately why she had called for him, still in the beginning he was suspicious, especially when Kate shivered as soon as he touched her. She managed to convince him it was because of the cold.
"He's knocked out." Kate said when she spotted David glancing at Tony. He kissed Kate for the first time. "Not so fast" Kate wanted to be closer to Tony, so there was less chance David would see him coming. David followed and asked why she changed her mind." Kate pointed at Tony. "He's weak, I don't like weak men." David nodded and took of his t-shirt, which made Kate swallow hard.
David was actually pretty hot. Well muscled, short blond hair, blue eyes. The more she thought about it the better he looked. She always had a thing for 'bad boys'. But not for this one, not after what he did to Tony. As he was kissing her neck, she looked aside to where Tony was lying and felt guilty for even thinking she could be attracted to David.
Tony opened one eye to see what was going on. Kate gave him the sign and as fast as he could he got on his feet and grabbed a piece of wood which was stocked there for the winter. David opened his eyes because he though he heard something. Kate's heart was beating much faster so was Tony's. If they would get caught it would be the end. David turned to see if Tony was still there, Kate stopped his head and made him look at her, then she kissed him on the lips. It was a passionate kiss, more passionate then the one Tony gave her earlier. She felt his tongue enter her mouth. Tony was a bit confused when he saw how Kate was kissing David but it didn't interfere with his plan. On the contrary it made him more angry. He swung the wooden piece and hit David on the head causing him to fall unconscious.
In the meantime Gibbs got the last address where Tony and Kate could be held hostage. The other 4 places were all empty. There wasn't even a chair to sit on. Gibbs was terrified that the last house would empty as well. Where would he go from there. He just had no idea.
The only way they could escape was through the window on the second floor. Tony was the first to climb out the window but with his shoulder and ribs giving him a hard time, he wasn't able to make the jump. "Are you sure you're up for it with your shoulder?" Kate asked concerned. "My shoulder is fine, Kate" Tony lied with a pain grin on his face.
"Are you sure?" Kate asked for the second time. Of course I'm not fine Tony thought to himself. It was hurting like hell. He couldn't move his arm or breathe without hurting his shoulder, ribs or any other part of his body. Tony made one last attempt but he was again unsuccessful. He smashed his hand against the framework which freaked Kate out. "Look Tony, you're in no shape to jump."
Tony raised his voice and said for the 3rd or 4th time he was alright. He suggested she'd jump first and he would right after her. But Kate knew he was lying. He wouldn't follow her, he would go down to the basement and finish the job they started. Not by killing David of course but by arresting him. Then Tony would wait for help to arrive, help Kate had to provide.
"Seniority or not, I'm not leaving you Tony, certainly not in this condition. When will you stop being such an ass. Okay don't answer that" Tony smiled at Kate's remark. They both knew he would never stop being an ass, otherwise he just wouldn't be Tony. "Come On" Kate helped him back down. Tony kept his one hand on his ribs and the other on his shoulder. "Auw" came out of Tony when he tried to sit down. It was his turn to let a tear roll down his cheek. He covered his face with his hands so Kate wouldn't catch him crying but Kate had seen it. She sat on her knees with her hands on his knees. "I'll get you out of here Tony, I promise."
"I don't think so Kate." Terrified she turned around to see a be blooded David in the door opening pointing his gun at her. A gunshot fell.
