Okay so do you like the down to earth, honest Tony that we saw in Chapter 3 or the down right cocky and quick witted Tony that made an appearance in chapter 11. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Chapter 13 – some would consider it unlucky….

Abby was angry. She didn't care for the weird looks that visitors gave her as she stalked down the isles of the hospital.

He barely even heard an elderly German man whisper to his wife

"Jesus Martha, ich dachte nur, dass sie sich der Sache in Österreich zugelassen"

Abby stalked down the isles almost daring people to challenge her, why was she not informed that Ziva was now safe. It was only until McGee had sent her the image of Tony in the freezer that she realised how out of control Gibbs had let things get.

She turned sharply on one platform boot and continued her death march towards Ziva's room. Abby was about to burst through the door but something stopped her. Perhaps it was Ziva's sleeping body, her face was so innocent, but even a blind man could see the lines of guilt that streaked her forehead. Or perhaps it was her beloved mentor Gibbs, who was holding Ziva's hand whispering soothing words to her.

What ever it was Abby felt the anger in her quickly evaporate And she was left there swaying gently outside the door, then she felt a steady hand on her shoulder and she turned around to see McGee staring intently at her.

"Timmy…" She whispered.

"I know Abs, I know." McGee embraced her and he gently began to rock back and forth. Abby swayed with him.

"Did you get any matches?" McGee asked

"Hmmm?" Abby was confused

"The image of Tony, the face, did AFIS find any matches?" McGee tried again his voice was still soft, he had not released his hold on Abby yet.

"Oh God!" Abby exclaimed, she quickly head slapped herself. "Um yeah McGee I ran it though and found a match on Mossad trained officer Tzahal Chomsky, he is very much like Ari, forced to work for Director David, being used all of his life until, he snaps, he falls of the record and is presumed dead, this is the first anybody has heard of him…." Abby trailed off.

"I'll tell Gibbs," McGee smoothed her unruly pigtails. "You," he said jabbing his finger into Abby's chest "Get some sleep."

Abby only nodded once, she walked off to the cafeteria, I wonder if they sell Caf-POW!s?

Tony felt he had been locked in the freezer for hours, one by one he had felt his functions beginning to shut down on him. It was now that the man had decided to return. He had said nothing he just quietly sat in a corner watching Tony and grinning every time he coughed violently.

"Regrets Mr DiNozzo?" He called over

"Never!" He called back, his voice was weaker now though and the man picked up on it.

"It could have been Miss David sitting there, and she would not of had all the complications with her lungs...." The man trailed off.

"Oh admit it," Tony smirked "You just wanted to see Ziva in her underwear!"

"I admit it would have been a lot more appealing to the eye…" The man scanned Tony's battered and bruised body. The burns had not yet healed and cuts of various sizes ran up and down the length of his body.

"I know you love the rugged look really.." Tony winked at the man. Even after all of the pain and agony he had put Tony through, Tony was still gratefull. Of course he was still angry that he had instructed his men to rape Ziva but he had released her, she was free and that was all that mattered.

"As much as that may be Mr DiNozzo," The man returned his playful banter. " I am afraid I must leave you now, the doctor is surprised at how well you have done so far and you are still able to crack jokes! There is a wager running around my men trying to bet how long you will last……But no matter whatever happens you will break eventually, your tired lungs WILL give out, Unless of course….." The man trailed off watching seeing if Tony would take the bait.

"Unless what?" Tony sighed, he had bitten, it was just his curious nature.

"You tell me about Ziva David's role to play in 'Operation Indigo'."

"Oh my God we are back to this? I thought we moved on!" Tony smirked

"Yes Mr DiNozzo, so what is her envolvement?" He asked

"Why don't you look it up I am sure you have her file, just like mine." DiNozzo gave his best innocent stare. The man punched him square in the jaw.

"You know full well that 'Operation Indigo' is off the record!" The man screamed at Tony.

"Oh yeah, forgot about that.." DiNozzo trailed off. "If you wanted information so bad why did you let her go and keep me?" DiNozzo asked his voice soft.

"I will see you in a few hours Mr DiNozzo." The man stood up and walked out.

"Fino a quando la prossima volta il mio amico freezer felice!" DiNozzo called after him.

"Tony." Ziva whimpered in her sleep, she began to sob again, the dam holding up the reservoir of her emotions had one slight crack, a tiny flaw in the concrete. Anthony DiNozzo. And when she knew that he was in pain, because of her, it felt as if her defences had been smashed open and the carefully bottled emotion surged free in a tidal wave of pain and anguish.

Gibbs held her tightly willing her to go back to sleep and not to have to face the horrors that the real world had to offered. But then he remembered something Tony had told him a very long time ago.

Even the darkest, meanest of evil screams, runs and hides at even the mere glimpse of a genuine smile. So that is what Gibbs did, he smiled. He smiled kindly down against Ziva and he smiled proudly at McGee and Abby who he could see feverishly working away in the cafeteria. But most of all, he smiled for Tony, for all the fond memories they had shared, for all the times he had been head slapped. But like proud father smiling for his son, Gibbs smiled for as always, Tony had selflessly put himself before others.

Run, scream and hide you son of a bitch, Gibbs thought to himself because I am coming, ready or not!
