Tony and Ziva were in the ladies room for over 2hours and Gibbs decided it's enough for today.

"Ellie, McGee, go home. See you tomorrow.", Gibbs told them. They grabbed their things and left. Gibbs looked after his other 'kids'. He came in the ladies room and Tony looked up at him still having the crying Ziva in his arms. Gibbs went to her and kneed next to her.

"Well, let's go home, Ziva.", he told her calmly. She looked up at him with extremely red and swollen eyes. Gibbs helped Ziva to stand up. She was weak and couldn't walk at the moment. She was confused, tired and depressed. Tony stood up as well and picked her up. He carried her down to the car. Gibbs grabbed their things and followed them. Tony sat next to Ziva on the back seat and held her in his arms the whole drive. At Gibbs' Tony helped Ziva to come out and slowly they walked in. Ziva laid down on her bed and tony came to her and sat next to her.

"Hey, it's okay, Ziva. I'm here. You aren't in Somalia. And Saleem is nowhere. He's dead. He can't hurt you anymore.", he calmed her down.

"Can you hold me, Tony?", she begged him quietly still a bit confused.

"Of course." Tony laid down next to her, covered her up, pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her hair.

"I'm here for you. I'm not going away.", he calmed her down.

"What was it?", he asked her carefully.

"As I told her, it, it felt so real. It was more real than in my nightmares. It was as it just happened.", she sobbed. Tony nodded slowly.

"But now I'm here. Nothing like this will ever happen again to you. I promise you.", he whispered in her ear. Crying she fell asleep. He waited till she was fallen asleep and then he fell asleep as well. Gibbs went in his bedroom and saw Tony and Ziva laying on their bed. He stopped in the open door as he saw them. Flashbacks from Shannon and him came to his mind. A smile flashed over his face. Then he left them alone and went sleeping in his bedroom.

-next morning-

Gibbs was already up. The first thing he did was making coffee in the kitchen. He was drinking coffee in the living room as Tony came down. He made also a coffee for him and sat down next to Gibbs on the couch.

"Gibbs, have you known...", Tony started but got interrupted by Gibbs.

"Yea.", he said worried "She came to me a few weeks after she returned form Somalia. She had nightmares and I let her sleep here.", he explained him.

"Why hasn't she talked to me earlier?", Tony wanted to know.

"You know her, DiNozzo. She doesn't want to annoy someone with her problems.", Gibbs told him. "If you ever going to hurt her, DiNozzo, you will be dead. Don't hurt my girl or you are dead. Don't let my girl alone or you will never be able to move. Don't do anything she doesn't want or you will never be able to sit on your ass."

"It's okay, Gibbs, I've understood.", Tony tried to stop him. Then came Ziva down. She moaned. She sat down on Tony's lap and grabbed his hands. Gibbs stood up, kissed his girl on the forehead and left them alone.

"What were you talking about?", Ziva asked.

"Father talk", Tony answered her and kissed her lips. She put her hand on his cheek and pulled him into another kiss.

"You're feeling better?!", Tony questioned.

"Yes, I do. I just don't want to go through this hell once more.", she said.

"You don't have to. I protect you.", Tony said and asked her "What do you want to do today?"

"You need to go to work, don't you?", she asked confused.

"It's Saturday, Ziva.", Tony answered her with a smile.

"Well then what about a walk?"

"Why not. Just get ready I wait here." Ziva kissed Tony and went up to get ready. She took a shower and changed clothes. Tony waited on the couch till she came back down. They left for a walk. They walked through some old streets holding hands and talking. The time flied and they walked and talked like forever.

"Tony, I'm hungry.", she said and tried to smiled. Tony was delighted.

"Well, here is a restaurant.", he leaded her in a luxurious restaurant at the end of the street. He had a big smile on his face. His ninja was hungry. They asked the waitress for a table and she lead them to a table on the window.

"Tony, that's too expensive.", Ziva noticed as she took a look into the menu.

"Nothing is 'too expensive' for my ninja.", he told her and kissed her. She smiled. They ordered some food and as the waitress brought it to them it started raining outside. It was kind of dark even if it was just at the early evening. The most light came from the candles from all the tables.

"A romantically dinner for my ninja.", Tony told her and kissed her passionately. Then they began to eat.

After thy ate they paid and then thy went outside. It was raining cats and dogs.

"Well lets hurry up.", Tony said as he saw Ziva's missing excitement. They walked a long the street as Ziva began shivering. Tony undressed his jacket and wrapped it around Ziva.

"Thank you, Tony, but you need it for yourself.", Ziva replied.

"It's okay.", he said and they went home. Totally wet they went in Gibbs house.

"Ziva", Gibbs said amazed as she saw her freezing.

"Gibbs.", she said.

"Well, dry off and I put the fire on.", Gibbs told her and she went up. She undressed her clothes, toweled herself and dressed a sweater and sweatpants on. Then she came back down. The fire in the living room is warm and Ziva sat down in front of changed his clothes as well and dried his body off. He came to Ziva and wrapped a blanket around him.

"Better?", Gibbs asked as he came back in. Ziva nodded and took the cup of tea Gibbs brought her. Tony's phone rand and he answered the call. It was Director Vance. After Tony hang the call off he went to Ziva. He sat down next to her.

"Hey", she said.

"Hey, ehhhm Vance called me and he needs me as a bodyguard for two day in New York.", he explained.

"You're going?!", she asked.

"Yes, I am. In 2hours." Ziva leaned her head against his shoulder and Tony wrapped his arms around her.

"I don't want you to go.", she said and a tear rolled over her cheek.

"Only for 2days, Sweet cheeks." He sat there for 1hour with Ziva in his arms and then he went packing some clothes. As he was finished he came back down to Ziva.

"You really have to go?", she asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes, I have to.", he answered. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately.

"I love you, Tony.", Ziva said crying.

"I love you, too.", Tony replied. He held her closed and kissed her head. Then he left. He drove to the NCIS where Vance and McGee were already waiting for him. The 3went to the airport and took the next flight. Ziva sat down on the couch and cried. Gibbs was in his basement. After 3hours he came up and saw Ziva standing in front of the window and staring in the darkness. He went to her and rubbed her back.

"Gibbs.", she said with a sad and fearful voice.

"What's up Ziva?", he asked her and she looked at him.

"I feel like someone is watching me.", she answered. He nodded and leaded her to the couch. They sat down.

"I know."

"You know?", she asked amazed.

"Yes, I noticed it. You know who?", he asked her.

"I'm not sure, but before my dad died he told me that I'm affianced to someone.", she told weakly and quietly.

"Who?", he asked caring.

"I don't know the name. I know he's a rich bank clerk from Israel."

"Ziva, I won't let him take you with him.", Gibbs tried to calm her down, but she started crying.

"You don't understand. He can take me with him. I'm his possession. He can do with me what he wants. I can't say something against him. He could kill me and nobody would care. My father and my brother are dead and he is the only one who can say what I have to do.", Ziva cried. Gibbs petted her back.

"Shhh. I won't let that happen, Ziva. We find a way." They sat on the couch Gibbs had his arm wrapped around her head and put it on her forehead. She was a bit warm, but Gibbs didn't want to say something. He thought it's probably from the stress. After awhile the doorbell rang and Gibbs stood up. He opened the door and came back in the living room followed by Abby. Gibbs sat back down, wrapped his arm around Ziva's head and put his hand on her forehead. There were still some tears that rolled down her cheeks.

"Abby", Ziva noticed amazed as she saw her. Abby tried to smile at her but she failed. She sat down on the other side of Gibbs and he wrapped his other hand around Abby. She rested her head also on Gibbs.

"Gibbs, why do we have Rule #12 ?", Abby asked, Gibbs rolled his eyes as he heard it and got a bit mad.

"McGee?", Gibbs asked mad. Abby nodded and began to cry as well. Gibbs sighed.

"What has he done?", Gibbs asked ready to break him his bones if he hurt his girl.

"Nothing. Gibbs, you don't need to break his bones.", Abby said knowing what Gibbs would do for her "He isn't here, Gibbs.", Abby cried.

"I know. He is in New York with Vance."

"Why do you know that?", Abby asked him.

"Well, Tony is there too.", Gibbs answered her "But why McGee? You know Rule #12 !", Gibbs said mad.

"But I love him, Gibbs. And Tony and Ziva..."

"They aren't coworkers anymore.", Gibbs interrupted her.

"Why do we have Rule #12 ?" Gibbs sighed.

"Because of you."

"Us?", Both asked incredible.

"Yea. I don't want my girls to get hurt.", he said and both smiled.

"But, Tony can hurt Ziva as well.", Abby protested.

"Tony knows what happens if he hurts her.", Gibbs said with a grin "You and McGee?", he sighed "I know it would happen sometime."

"So you allow it?", she asked and Gibbs nodded.

"THANK YOU", she screamed and hugged him. Both fell asleep in Gibbs arms. Gibbs didn't want to wake them up, so he decided to stay. He sat on the couch with his sleeping girls in his arms.

Abby and Ziva fell asleep in Gibbs arms. After awhile Gibbs fell asleep, but woke up again as he heard Ziva screaming. He looked at her. She laid still in his arms, but screamed after Tony and screamed something Hebrew. Abby woke up as well. Gibbs wrapped both arms around Ziva, petted her back and tried to wake her up. It didn't work, so he put his hands on her shoulders and shook her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Hey, it's only a bad dream, Ziva.", Gibbs tried to calm her down. Then came Abby and gave her one of her famous hugs. Ziva woke up in Abby's arms. She's confused. Abby let her go.

"Ziva, hey, it's okay. It was just a bad dream.", Gibbs told her and she let herself fall down in Gibbs arms who kneed in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her and petted her back. Abby went to in the kitchen and came back with a tea. Gibbs wiped her tears away and held her.

"Stay here.", he whispered in her ear "I don't let you go, Ziva."

"But..."

"No buts Ziva! I don't want to see you hurting yourself.", he said calmly.

"I need to! It makes me free.", she said almost yelling at him.

"It doesn't! That's an illusion. It helps you for a few seconds and then you regret it!", he explained her cairn even if he got mad that she still wants to cut.

"What?", Abby asked confused and put the tea on the table.

"Nothing!", Ziva said to Abby "Let me go!", she yelled at Gibbs. Gibbs still held her one hand petting her back the other holding her head against his shoulder.

"You're not going to hurt yourself, Ziva!", he said angrily.

"Why hurting?", Abby asked still confused.

"Tell her, Ziva.", Gibbs told her. Abby looked scared in Ziva's eyes.

"I, I cut.", she whispered finally looking down. Abby hugged her worried. Gibbs held still her arms because he knows that she's going to try to go to the bathroom. And after Abby stopped hugging her after felt forever, she tried running away, but Gibbs held her. He sat her down in the couch and wrapped his arms around her.

"You don't need to cut.", he told her and a bit later she calmed down. They sat on the sofa Ziva in the middle and Gibbs and Abby have each one arm around Ziva. Gibbs have her the tea and she slowly drank it.

"You want to go back to sleep?", Gibbs asked her as the cup was empty, but she didn't want.

"Then the nightmares come back.", she said resting her head on his shoulder.

"It's okay.", Abby replied a few times and petted her back.

"Abby you can go sleeping.", Gibbs said.

"No thanks, I stay awake.", she answered and Gibbs nodded. They sat there and after about 1 or 2hours Ziva fell asleep again. Gibbs laid her carefully down and covered her up. Abby laid down on the other couch and fell asleep as well. Gibbs said on the floor between them two and drank his coffee.

A few hours later his phone rang and he answered it.

"How's Ziva?", Tony asked.

"She sleeps now. She had a nightmare, but now she sleeps.", Gibbs answered him.

"Where's Abby? She isn't in her lab! We tried to call her.", Tony said worry.

"She's here sleeping as well.", Gibbs answered bugged.

"Tell her she shall call us when she's in her lab. Bye.", Tony said and Gibbs hang the call off. But ten rang the doorbell and Gibbs needed to stand up and open it. So he did. There stood a worried Ellie. He let her into the living room and they sat on the third couch. Ellie looked at Abby and Ziva confused and them at Gibbs.

"Don't ask.", he just said and she nodded an 'okay'. She then gave him a note in a plastic bag for evidence.

"What's that?", he asked her.

"Was on my desk as I came this morning.", she said. Gibbs looked at the note which is written in Hebrew.

"Do we have someone at the Navy yard who speaks Hebrew?", he asked Ellie.

"I don't think so.", She answered him. He stood up. With a heavy heart he woke Ziva up. She yawned.

"What's up, Gibbs?", She asked him. He gave her the note.

"I want you to read this. What does it mean." She read it.

"Dear fiancée, don't think you can hide yourself from me forever. I'm going to find you. You're mine. You can't do what you want. I'm going to find you and then you go home with me. Your father engaged you to me. -Raday" she started crying and Gibbs calmed her down.

"I want to know who put it on the desk.", Gibbs told Ellie and she left.

Gibbs sat with Ziva on the couch. She cried and he held her.

"I need to do 3calls, okay?", Gibbs asked and she nodded. "Stay here!", He told her strictly. He stood up and went in the kitchen where the phone is. He then ran back to the floor as he heard Ziva standing up.

"No!", he said and lead her back to the living room. They sat back down and Gibbs held her. He took the phone and called Rachel.

"Cranston?", she answered the call.

"Rachel we need you here."

"Gibbs, it's weekend."

"It's important. Come to my house.", he said and hang the call off. The next one he called is a lawyer.

"Gibbs, how can I help?"

"We need you. You owe it to me."

"Well, at your house?"

"Yes.", Gibbs hang the call off and the next one he called is Vance.

"Gibbs?"

"Director. When are you back?"

"Why do you ask?"

"We need DiNozzo."

"We're already at the airport it took faster than I've planned. You want DiNozzo?"

"Yes.", Gibbs answered and the Director gave Tony the phone.

"Yea?", Tony asked and Gibbs gave Ziva the phone.

"To-o-oo-ooo-ny.", she cried laying on the couch with the phone in her hand.

"Hey, what's up, Sweet cheeks.", he asked her, but she just cried.

"Ziva?", he asked and then Gibbs answered.

"Boss, what happened?"

"Her father engaged her to an Israeli and the man is searching for her now."

"What?", Tony asked horrified. "We're going in the plane now. I'm back in a few hours. Tell her that I come.", Tony hang the call off and Gibbs wrapped a blanket around Ziva. Then woke Abby up.

"Morning, Gibbs.", she said cheerily.

"Morning, Abs.", he answered grumpily.

"What is?", Abby asked. Gibbs looked at her and then at Ziva. He rubbed her back and she cried into a pillow. Abby came to them. She sat next to Ziva and looked sadly at her. She wanted to help her, but she didn't know how,, so she just said

"Tell me when I can help you." Abby stood up and went in the kitchen to make coffee. She came back with a coffee for her and for Gibbs.

"Gibbs, you really need caf-pow.", she told him and Gibbs smiled. The rang the doorbell. Gibbs wanted to stand up, but Abby was faster. She went to the door and opened.

"Rachel, what are you doing here?"

"Abby, nice to meet you. Gibbs called me, so where is he?", she asked and Abby leaded her in teh living room. As Gibbs saw her he told Ziva. Ziva sat up still crying.

"Why am I here?", Rachel asked as she sat down.

"Ziva's father engaged her to an Israeli man before he died. The man is now searching for her and left a note at the NCIS that he wants to bring her home to Israel. A lawyer is coming, too."

"Okay, may I talk to her alone." Gibbs and Abby left the room and Abby begged Gibbs to tell her what happened and so he did. They sat on the dining table and Gibbs told her. Rachel sat next to Ziva.

"You know the man?", she asked carefully and Ziva shook her head.

"Since when do you know about him?"

"My father told me before he died that was 3years ago. My father showed me a picture, but I can't remind that good. Earlier this day we found out his first name.", Ziva explained crying.

"You don't want to go with him, do you?"

"Hell, no! I don't know him and he can do with me what he wants. My family is here. I I love Tony. Not a stranger." Rachel nodded.

"Okay, Tony is on his way to you. He's here in a few hours and Gibbs is here as well. Also Abby. They wouldn't let you go with a stranger, okay? Gibbs has already called a lawyer, Ziva, they won't let you go with him. They want to protect you."

"But he can take me with him. I'm his possession."

"Gibbs, is going to go law. They will find a way, they always did.", Rachel told calmly and Ziva stopped crying and looked up at her. Then came Gibbs and Abby back in with the lawyer. They sat down and started to explain the situation to the lawyer.
