I am not in a creative mood today, but felt I needed to update... so this is not my fav chapter. enjoy!!!
Ziva woke up in the boot of a car. She was gagged and had her hands tied behind her back.
She winced at the painful bruise that was forming from Peter's blow to her face as well as the increasing rockiness of the car.
The car then came to an abrupt halt, and she heard the car doors slam shut. She could hear voices from just outside the boot.
"We should just kill her and get it over and done with", shouted an unknown voice.
"No Simon, we have more leverage with her. Phillips knows she is part of DiNozzo's team. Holding a female colleague hostage is bound to strike a few chords whether he has personal feelings for her or not" argued Peter.
After a few seconds silence, the unknown guy finally answered, "We'll let Phillips decide what to do with her".
Ziva winced at the sunlight as the boot finally opened.
"Get up!" ordered the man Ziva assumed was Simon as he dragged her out of the boot.
She noticed that they were in the middle of a forest, and that they were walking towards a large abandoned cabin. They walked into as room with tables filled with computer equipment, presumably for surveillance and video purposes. And she was pushed violently to the floor.
"So what do we have here?" asked a male voice.
Ziva looked up and recognized Phillips. He slowly walked up to her and ungagged her.
"Ziva David… Mossad Liaison Officer" he said in a sinister way. She didn't reply. She just stared into his cold grey eyes, feigning fear. She wasn't rattled by him, but knew that Phillips might suspect something if she showed it.
"So, do they plan on deleting the file?"
"I do not know" she replied timidly.
"Liar" he whispered in her ear. "You know exactly what they are going to do, don't you?"
"How can you expect me to answer with me here and not there?" she pleaded. "They might actually do it when they realize I am missing?"
"What shall we do with her?" interrupted Simon. "If we kill her, then they will know we are serious"
"No!" intervened Peter, "If we kill her then they will not do anything."
"I don't care. All this was about was this bastard's quest for revenge and pardoning. And because of that my father is dead and the cell is crippled. We should just kill them both right now"
Phillips looked up at Simon.
"I'm sorry your father is dead Simon but you know what? I don't like you either"
And in a blink of an eye, Phillips lifted a gun from the back of his trousers and shot Simon cold dead in-between the eyes.
"Thankyou for bringing her to me Peter. You will be rewarded for this… and that is your life. If you EVER do what he just did you will meet his end. Put her with the other one"
Visibly shaken by what just happened, he grabbed Ziva by the arm and dragged her to the door of the basement, shoved her through it and closed the door, locking it behind him.
Ziva made her way down the stairs and looked around. A room with the only light coming from a small window at the top of a wall. Her eyes continued to the other side and she noticed the beaten and bloodied figure of Amy Simpson…
Meanwhile, Gibbs rode with Tim in the ambulance to the hospital. He left Fornell in charge of the crime scene, in other words he left them to do the leg-work for him.
"Tim? Talk to me Tim" pleaded Gibbs.
"Boss?" Tim managed to say through the pain of the gunshot wound. "Is…is…it bad?"
Gibbs looked at the wound; it was a through-and-through in his right shoulder. He noticed that he was loosing blood quickly.
"Ah, I've seen worse Tim"
Tim smiled, "You sure you're not saying that to make me feel better?"
"Nope" Gibbs said as he put pressure on the wound, "you'll be just fine"
"Did... Ziva… get in?"
"She did"
"that's good" he whispered just as he slipped out of consciousness…
"I need you to tell me exactly what happened" Tony said to Angie, who felt a bit better after her moment with Tony.
"Well, erm, we were in a car being driven by FBI agents. Amy was on her mobile to a friend back home discussing something called the final cylon", Tony threw her a questioning look, "I don't get it either" she smiled.
"Then, without warning, the car just got quicker. The Agent was driving rather dangerously through the traffic and he just told us to be calm and that it could be a false alarm." Tears started forming in her eyes. "then there was this explosion behind us, it was the other car that was escorting us. It caused our car to role over…"
Tony held her hand as she continued to recall events, "I could feel her next to me. She wasn't as hurt as I was. But she didn't move. Then some men appeared at the window and shot the Agents and one of them dragged her away." She started crying.
"I tried to grab her but they were too quick. I don't know if I dreamt this but I swore I heard a man whisper to me that she would be okay, and he promised me that they wouldn't let anyone kill her and then I blacked out"
"The FBI has an undercover agent with the cell that your ex-husband is connected to. My Boss doesn't believe in coincidences but, its one of those rare cases that it is-" then the sound of his phone ringing interrupted him.
"DiNozzo"
"I thought I'd give you an update" said Jenny's voice down the line.
"Go on"
"We raided the cell's main hideaway and took out most of their main people and the main person. Peter then took Ziva and-"
"What? Ziva's been kidnapped?"
"It was part of the plan Special Agent DiNozzo. We have equipped her with multiple tracking devices that Abby is processing right now. But we don't know how many people are at the location. It could be a skeletal crew or a large congregation. We are going to verify this with satellite imagery once Abby has verified the location"
It was at this point in the conversation when he realized that it should be Gibbs updating him, not the director.
"Is Gibbs okay?"
"He never made it to the location. He got there in time to see it end. He is currently escorting McGee to the same hospital where you are at right now. He caught a bullet in his shoulder"
"I can understand Ziva going in if that was part of the plan but what the hell was Probie doing in there?"
"Fornell sent him in"
"Bastard!"
After giving Tony as few seconds to calm down, Jenny continued.
"I'm sure this will all be wrapped up within the next few hours"
"yes.. Erm thankyou Director I'm sorry about my outburst"
"I hold the same policy on apologies as Gibbs, Tony. I'll keep you updated."
Tony hung up. "The undercover Agent is with Amy now. So we will know pretty soon what her status is"
"You mean if she is alive or dead"
Tony looked down knowing that she was right. And then he stood up.
"One of my colleagues was hurt. I'm just gonna go down to the ER to see if he is okay. I'll be right back"
He squeezed her hand assuringly then made his way out of the room and to the elevator.
