Ziva all but ran into the kitchen. Caleb hadn't covered his tracks very well, which meant that he wanted to be found.

"Papa, who did you assign to kill Caleb Abran?" Ziva asked hurriedly and Rina looked at her grandfather with wide eyes.

"What are you talking abo…"

"I know he did not die in a mission Papa. Who did you assign to assassinate him?" she asked hurriedly as she interrupted him.

"Officer Mikhail Stein" he said finally giving up.

"Call him and get him here now, do not tell him anything; make up a reason" Ziva said, Rina had never seen her mother like this.

"What is going on Ziva?" Eli asked taking out his phone

"Caleb Abran has his eyes on us" Ziva said kicking the pantry, hard. Rina winced, she was too scared to say anything to her mother; the bastard was back. It had been almost 25 minutes since Tony had gone, "Tony is not here yet, where is he?" she said storming out of the kitchen.

"Agent Burton, do you know where agent Dinozzo is?" she asked opening the front door.

"No Officer David, I saw him leave about half an hour ago" Burton replied.

"Was he with an agent?"

"No he was alone"

"HARAH…Idiot" she said before slamming the door and dialling Tony's number. She was met with a voicemail; she tried again, same result. She tried several times more before calling Gibbs.

"Gibbs…it's Tony…he left for coffee about 40 minutes ago…yes the coffee shop IS 2 minutes away…no he went alone…I TRIED TELLING HIM that…of course I CALLED HIM, it's going straight to voicemail…thank you"

"Ima, did you call Tony?" Rina asked entering the living room that she was pacing in

"Yes, he is not answering. I told that idiot not to go alone…and what does he do? He does exactly that"

"Officer Stein is getting on a plane as we speak" Eli said making his way to the living room to join his daughter and granddaughter. Ziva was pacing the living room floor which was going have big hole once she was done, and a few minutes later there was a knock on the door.

"That must be Gibbs" she opened the door to reveal her boss, looking furious as he stormed in followed by McGee. "Please come right in" she said sarcasm dripping from her voice. McGee looked nervous.

"What the HELL is going on OFFICER DAVID?" Gibbs asked furiously, this is going to get ugly McGee thought.

"I TOLD that IDIOT he should NOT GO alone…I TOLD him he should NOT GO at ALL. But he DID and he went ALONE. Now I do NOT know where he is."

"Who the hell is Caleb Abran?" Gibbs asked as his anger eased down. Before Ziva could answer Rina cut in.

"He is the pig Ima used to date, the bastard is supposed to be dead" the look Ziva gave her was enough to kill her; she received the same look as she looked to her grandfather.

"Are you okay Rina?" Gibbs asked smiling lightly at the teen.

"I'm fine Gibbs" She said smiling. McGee looked to Eli, that man was making him nervous.

"Ziva, I traced Tony's cell phone GPS, he was round the corner last time he was seen" McGee said

"What do you mean 'last time he was seen'?" Ziva asked worriedly.

"We found his cell couple of feet away from the café" Ziva sank into the couch beside her. Rina sat next to her mother and held her hand. "I'm sure he's okay Ziva"

"HOW CAN you BE SO SURE, MCGEE? You DO NOT EVEN know where he is and I DO NOT know WHERE HE IS…SO do NOT TELL ME HE'LL BE FINE because that is a lot of BULLSHIT." She said standing in front of him. It was past 1:00 am, they were tired. "I'm sorry McGee"

"Its okay Ziva" she smiled thinly at him, but it didn't reach her eyes, before making her way to the bedroom and shutting the door; hard. Rina walked towards Gibbs.

"You have to find Tony. I have never seen my mother so happy before, it will kill her if he's not here agent Gibbs. It will kill me too." She said before going to join her mother. Gibbs looked at McGee and then at Eli.

"It is true agent Gibbs; I have never seen my daughter so happy. Agent Dinozzo has now become part of her life." Gibbs sighed. Tony was his agent too; he'd do anything for his people.

Tony woke up tied to a chair. He was in a room, which smelt damp. It was small and dimly lit; there was a window in the far corner where he could see that it was daylight, somewhere around noon maybe. He flexed his hands, which were tied so tired flexing his feet which were also tied. He looked around to see any sign of life; a rat scurrying along. Human life; there was none. He tilted his head, only to see that it was a mistake when a searing paint shot through his head. After about 10 minutes he heard the unlocking of the door.

"You are awake" said a rough sounding voice.

"Who are you?" Tony asked as he realised how hoarse his voice sounded.

"Ah yes, you have yet to meet me agent Dinozzo. I'm Caleb Abran" he said smiling at the agent.

"You are supposed to be dead" Tony said yet again in his hoarse voice.

"Ah…you have heard of me. It is quiet sad that Ziva would believe that the lower ranking Stein would be able to kill me. It is not so hard to play dead to a fool"

"Ziva didn't send anyone to kill you, it was her father" Tony said.

"Aah…daughter like father, I guess I will have to take him out too" Abran said circling Tony's chair.

"You were the one who's watching us?" Tony asked.

"Yes, and her dearest daughter too" Tony clenched his teeth. "It is a pity that Ziva would fall for a man like you"

"How did you find her?"

"You see, after stein killed me…" Abran stopped to laugh "I worked for a bounty hunting organisation, where they allowed me to become part of them once they knew of my history with Mossad. I sold them intelligence about people they have been looking for a long time, in return I found my darling Ziva."

Tony laughed "When she finds you…you are a dead man" Abran smacked him hard across the face, Tony spat out the blood in his mouth.

"You believe that, she could not take me when I beat her…you think she has gotten strong in just merely a couple of years. She is still a small woman" he said smirking.

"What are you going to do with me?" Abran laughed.

"Do not worry I'm not going to kill you…just yet. I have to use you to get her to me; and then you are no use to me. I dispose off waste material. Enjoy your stay Agent Dinozzo" he said before leaving him to his thoughts.

He hoped and prayed to all gods out there they found him soon; He didn't want to die without telling Ziva that he loved her once more. But one thing he did pray for with tears of blood was that she didn't fall for the bait that Abran was planning on.

It was just after round about 2pm when Ziva David's desk phone rang. Everyone in the bullpen hoped and prayed that it was a ransom call; that way it meant that Tony was at least alive. Everyone looked at her; she took a deep breath before answering the phone.

"David" she said, "No…No…I do not need phone insurance" she hung up before the caller could say anything more.

They; more like Ziva had interrogated Mikhail Stein, he had told them that he had shot in the chest three times and checked for a pulse before returning Mossad HQ to report to Director David. How he had walked away from that was beyond any one's imagination. Mikhail Stein was well known for his aim and precision, there was no way he could have missed. Her phone rang.

"David"

"Officer David, How are you?" Caleb asked.

"Where is Tony?" Ziva asked getting straight to business

"You are in haste; do not worry, I will not kill him…just yet. If you do want to see him I suggest that you come alone."

"Where do I meet you, you son of a…"

"Tut, tut, tut, No need for words like that Officer David. Meet me in exactly an hour where the trace tells you to meet me" with that he hung up. Ziva slammed the receiver onto its holder, a little harsher than necessary.

"Did you get a trace McGee?" Ziva asked.

"I did"

"Are you waiting for me to ask for it?" she asked trying not to lose her temper.

"Erm…no, here you go" McGee was terrified of her for the past two days; she took it and walked to the elevator. Eli, Rina, Gibbs, McGee and Abby watched from where they stood

"Where do you think you are going David?" Gibbs asked and she turned around to face him.

"To save my partner's ass" Ziva said.

"Alone"

"The bastard wants me to come alone, he is not stupid…he will know if you come" Ziva said, Gibbs tried to stare her down and she stared right back at him.

"Fine" Ziva entered the elevator and disappeared as the metal doors closed.

"GIBBS, you are not allowing her to go alone are you?" Abby asked with wide eyes

"Don't make me wanna smack you like I do Dinozzo Abs" Gibbs said looking at her.

"You ARE NOT allowing her to go alone" Abby stated.

"Rina stay with Abby" Gibbs said before looking back to Ziva's two officers who had arrived earlier that morning "Follow your control officer, me and agent McGee will be with you soon" The officers looked to Eli, and he nodded. They went their ways.

"McGee give them the address…Abby keep a GPS track on Ziva's phone and ours too, you got that" Abby nodded and pulled Rina along with her as she went to her lab.

"Director David, who the heck is Caleb Abran, How does he work?" Eli nodded thoughtfully.

"He was a high ranking Mossad Officer; he was good at what he did. He dated Ziva when Director Vance split the team up; he was not faithful to her. He was seeing many other women and Ziva confronted him. Her strength was no match for his, he beat my daughter; leaving her unconscious. I assigned Officer Mikhail Stein for his assassination, but I guess that did not work so well" McGee and Gibbs listened intently "He works in many ways agent Gibbs, he is sometimes calm and sometimes impatient. I guess he has taken the calm route to get to Ziva."

"How can WE get to him?"

"I cannot say…he does not allow people to know what his actions will be next. He does things discreetly but for some reason he is leaving footprints, making it easier for us to find him."

"He wants to be found, why?" Gibbs asked; Eli shook his head.

"I do not know, Mossad officers do not succeed by allowing others to find out what they are thinking. But he is quite shallow when he has his eyes on something; he is blinded by his urge to win. We have to go with the flow to take him out" Eli said. Gibbs sighed.

"McGee come on, we gotta get Ziva's tail" with that they exited the bullpen.

Ziva sped through the streets of Washington, breaking all the Highway Code she could think of. The address took her to a deserted warehouse. There were scrap material everywhere, metal, wood, plastic etc. She parked her car a few meters away from the gates, which were about fall to the ground with the lightest wind. She got out and looked around; she didn't see anyone. She walked further towards the gates.

"Officer David" she turned around to see Caleb Abran, standing just a few feet away from her with a smirk on his face. "Still looking beautiful as always"

"Where is Tony?" Ziva asked getting right down to business.

"He is a strong man" he said,

"Where is he Abran?"

Abran smiled "Drop ALL your weapons and your phone where you are and walk forward?" Ziva did as he said. She walked around and across the scrap; Abran gave her a hand, she ignored him and kept on walking forward. "Very well, let us go and see your boyfriend".

They entered the warehouse, Abran walking behind Ziva. In the far corner was a door which was locked, Ziva swallowed and turned to look at Abran; who had his gun trained on her.

"Is here in there?"

"Keep walking"

"IS HE in THERE?" Abran nodded. Ziva kept walking and they soon reached the door. Abran unlocked it from behind her, his body pressed close to hers. She clenched her teeth.

"Go on in Ziva…see your half dead boyfriend" he said smirking before pushing her in and closing the door. He knew she couldn't do anything, especially after what he'd done to Tony; he was too weak to do anything and she was unarmed. There was no escape for both of them.
