The headache was killing him. He tasted blood in his mouth. Slowly Gibbs opened his eyes, but closed them again, trying to escape the pain. He groaned and wanted to touch his head, but his hands were cuffed.
"What the fuck?!" He cursed and opened his eyes again.
And what he saw was like a bad nightmare. He saw Tony. His agent and friend, sat bound on a chair, bleeding.
"Tony? Tony can you hear me?"
Tony slowly raised his head. And Gibbs saw that his right eye was swollen and his lip was split and bled.
Gibbs wanted to go to him, but he was cuffed to the wall. "Tony can you hear me? Are you okay?"
'Dumb question' Gibbs thought to himself.
Tony slowly nodded. "Yeah. Not that bad." And he smiled.
The door went open.
"Ah, I see you´re awake." One of the two men said.
"You´re one of Ari´s." Gibbs stated.
"That´s right, Agent Gibbs. I´m Halil." The terrorist said smiling.
"What do you want?" Gibbs asked pissed.
"We want revenge. So we´re going to hurt you."
Gibbs gave him an icy look.
The terrorist smiled and turned to Tony.
Tony just stared at him.
The terrorist raised his hand and punshed Tony with his fist in the face.
Tony hissed and spat out blood.
"Hey, you said you wanted to hurt me. Now do that, asshole." Gibbs said raising his voice.
The man hold out his hand and the other one laid a knife in it.
Tony looked with big fearful eyes at the man and shook his head. "No, please god no!" He begged and struggled to get free.
The two men laughed.
Then Halil sliced Tony´s cheek.
"Ah!" Tony exclaimed struggleing.
"Don´t you cry like a little girl?" Halil asked and kicked in Tony´s stomache so hard that he sent Tony, with the chair, to the ground.
"Don´t you fucking touch him you sick bastard!" Gibbs yelled.
"Oh, yes. That´s definitely a good reaction." They laughed and went out of the room.
"Tony!" Gibbs was surprised, that they uncuffed him and so he went over to Tony. "Tony come on." Gibbs untied Tony from the chair and leaned him on the wall. "Hey."
Tony opened his eyes. "Now... it´s bad."
"Not for long, Tony. They´re going to find us."
They sat in silence. It seemed like hours.
The door went open again and before Gibbs could stand up he was kicked and laid on the ground, again.
"You asshole! If you want to hurt me than slice me!" Gibbs barked.
"No. I know that we hurt you more, when we hurt him. But I´ll try something new. And if you try something, I´ll kill the boy." Halil whispered the last words and kicked Gibbs in the ribbs. "What is it, Tony? You can´t even protect your boss?" And he kicked Gibbs again.
Gibbs cursed.
Tony stood, but his legs were week and he had to hold himself on the wall.
"Tony, sit down. Everything´s okay." Gibbs told him.
"I hurt him and you can´t even stand." Halil laughed at Tony and kicked Gibbs again.
At this moment Tony jumped at Halil and hit im across the face.
"Argh! This fucking asshole hit me!" Halil cursed and kicked Tony to the ground. "Hit him!"
And then the other terrorist kicked Tony, who cried out in pain.
"Okay! Enough! Let´s go." Halil ordered and they went out.
"Tony!" Gibbs rushed to Tony´s side.
"Hurts..." Tony whispered.
"I told you to sit down. That was an order!" Gibbs said angry. But he wasn´t really angry at Tony. He was angry at these terrorists.
"Can´t... can´t let ´em hurt you."
"If you do something like that again, I´m going to kill you, DiNozzo!" Gibbs said.
"Sorry, boss."
"You don´t look so good, Tony. When we get outta here –"
"Boss..." Tony interrupted. "I think... I´ve got my cellphone."
"What?"
"I´ve got my cell." Tony said and then held out his phone to Gibbs.
"Good boy." Gibbs said dialing McGee´s number. "McGee, listen. Tell Abby to track this call. Some terrorists of Ari are behind this. I´m calling as soon as possible." Gibbs whispered and hung up. "Okay, Tony. You have to stay awake, you hear me?"
"Yeah..."
"They´ll find us." Gibbs ressured.
"You´re hurt..." Tony whispered.
"It´s not bad, Tony. And now let me look what they´ve done to you." Gibbs said raising Tony´s shirt. "Damn it, Tony! That doesn´t look good. But I don´t think your ribbs are broken." He touched Tony´s side.
"Argh!" Tony cried out in pain.
"Sorry, Tony, but I have to look." He told his younger agent.
"Want to go home..."
"I know."
