Ziva stood in front of the door looking at Tony. He was beaten and bruised; part of his cheek was so swollen that he could barely open his eyes, his lower lip had split in it and overall Tony's handsome face was battered. Ziva walked forward.

"Tony, can you hear me?" Ziva said close to tears, it was all her fault that he was sitting here fighting for his life, women in Mossad should not fall in love; they attracted too many enemies. Now Tony was paying the price. Tony slowly raised his head to see his girlfriend standing in front of him, he swallowed before speaking.

"Hey, I thought…you…you were smart…enough…not to fall…for the bait" Tony said stopping every so often; it hurt his throat too much to speak. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything in almost 18 hours.

"Shut up Tony. Did he give you anything to drink or eat?" Tony shook his head. She moved to untie him.

"DON'T" He said as loud as he can in his hoarse voice.

"Why not Tony?" Ziva asked quietly.

"It's rigged…with…explosive" Tony said, Ziva said a few words so harshly he wasn't sure if he wanted to know what they meant.

"I am so sorry Tony" Ziva said taking his hand and crouching beside him.

"What are…you…sorry for?"

"If I had not fallen in love with you…you would not be here today?" Tony laughed; well he tried.

"I wouldn't…have cared…if you loved…loved me…I wouldn't…have stopped trying" Ziva looked up at him and smiled. "When this is…is over…I'm going to…make love…to you like there's…no tomorrow" Ziva laughed, tears sliding down her cheeks. If only he knew that she was about to break his heart when this was over, he probably wouldn't have said that. Ziva stood in front of him and held his face in her hands and kissed him softly, tasting the blood on his lips. "I…needed that" suddenly they heard the door being unlocked.

"Ah…the long awaited reunion." Abran said walking in.

"You have who you wanted. Now let him go." Ziva said as Abran circled the couple with a gun in his hand.

"You see…I do not need him any more. I should dispose off him, do you not think so" He said stopping behind Tony ad placing the gun on the back of his head.

Ziva knew that Abran would take advantage if he saw panic in her eyes; she turned around to face him. She knew that her officers had followed her and she allowed that for Tony's sake, which meant that they had reported back to Eli and Gibbs; she had noted the setting sun through the small window in the corner. So they were here and watching the building. She trained her ears closer to the door, she heard shuffling of feet, and Abran was too distracted to hear anything. He wanted to kill Tony; she wasn't going to let that happen. If she said it loud enough, the others outside would hear her.

"NO…DO NOT KILL HIM" she had to bluff "He is the son in law of Eli David, if you kill him. You will have the State of Israel and America looking to kill you"

Abran laughed, Ziva kept her ears trained on the door "You are not married"

"Am I not?" Ziva asked; she knew he was falling for it. He could be so stupid when he had his eyes on the prize. Abran smiled again.

"I guess I'll have to kill you as well then"

"Only me" She would die for Tony any day and now was that day.

"ZIVA" Tony said through his clenched teeth. If Tony flexed his hands, the explosive would go off; he had to sit still whilst he watched his girlfriend die.

"I love you Tony, take care of Rina" with that Abran aimed the weapon at Ziva, who stood still. He smiled before pulling the trigger.

McGee and Gibbs arrived at the warehouse, with the Mossad officers following. Eli was busy keeping a crying Rina under control. McGee and Levy took the outside of the warehouse, Hadar and Gibbs had taken the inside.

"Agent Gibbs" Hadar said as quietly as possible, Gibbs turned to look at officer who nodded towards the door that unlocked form the outside. Gibbs nodded and moved towards the door. They listened carefully, they heard a female voice; Ziva's voice.

"NO…DO NOT KILL HIM"

Gibbs and Hadar shared a look, and they turned towards the bigger warehouse door as they heard the shuffling of feet. McGee and Levy entered the building, closing in on the door in the corner of the warehouse. Gibbs gestured for McGee and Levy to be quite.

"The outside is clear" McGee whispered, Gibbs nodded. He signalled with his fingers that they had to go in now. The others nodded as Gibbs turned the handle slowly, leaving the door ajar. They could here Ziva's bluff…he opened the door a little bit more, just as a gun went off.
