Authors note: I've had this on my mind for a while… I can't believe I am finally getting it posted! Please read and review and let me know if I should continue!
"Where the hell is Jethro! He should have been back at his and Tony's apartment an hour ago!" Jenny Sheppard flew into my lab like a bat out of hell. I jumped slightly, when the director was mad, she was scary. Scarier than me, and that's saying something.
"Well, Madame Director, I'm sitting here watching their GPS trackers, and they are in an alley about fifteen minutes from their apartment… They've been there for the past hour." I smiled and looked at Jenny. "Maybe they are finally getting it on!" Jenny faltered for a minute and smiled at me.
"You know?"
"That Tony totally has the hots for my silver haired fox?" I rolled my eyes, "Of course I know! Tony's my best friend! Course… I didn't think he's tell you."
"No, I was talking about Jethro, Abby. I gave them this assignment because I am sick of hearing Jethro whine about Tony!" I held my hand up for a high five, and smiled happily when the director returned it. "Something is off Abby, they haven't moved at all." I grabbed my cell phone, and nodded.
The phone didn't even ring before it went to voicemail. "You've reached Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs of NCIS, please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible." I looked up at the director and paled slightly, before dialing Tony's number. "You've reached Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo of NCIS. I'm sorry I couldn't get to the phone, but leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible." I could feel the smile fall off my face and I quickly dialed Ziva's number.
This time the phone rang, and I let out a sigh of relief. "David."
"Ziva, it's Abby. I'm sending you an address, I need you to check it out."
"What is wrong Abby? You sound upset." I sighed and typed in her cell number to send her the address on the computer screen.
"Sending now, and Ziva, please hurry. We lost contact with Gibbs and Tony."
"On it. MCGEE!" I could hear Ziva running before the line disconnected.
POV CHANGE
I groaned and rolled over, not wanting to open my eyes. I'm at home, in bed and I'm suffering from a really bad hangover. I told myself, but even as I did I knew it wasn't true. I woke up fully an looked around the dark room I was in. It was all stone walls, with one little light hanging from the ceiling. It was cold, and I noticed that I didn't have any clothes on, save for my boxers. I was sitting on a thin mattress that was shoved into the corner of the room. There was a bowl and glass across the room, but I couldn't seem to get my legs to work. I glanced over to my side and saw Gibbs was laying next to me, also stripped down to his boxers, but he was drenched. Weather it was sweat or water, I couldn't tell but he was shivering. I looked around frantically for something to cover him with. There was a thin blanket folded at the end of the mattress and I grabbed it, throwing it over him, and then crawling under it next to him.
"Jethro, I need you to wake up now. I can't do this on my own." I ran my hands up and down his arms, trying to warm his freezing skin.
I was rewarded with a pained groan. "Tony?"
"Yeah, it's me. What the hell did they do to you?"
"I fought back, they didn't like that much. Drugs wore off as they were stripping you, and I tried to stop them. They put you in here and then they threw ice water on me and hit me in the head again." I wrapped my arms tighter around Gibbs. He was a fighter, and I was sure that if it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't be in this situation.
"I'm sorry…" Gibbs turned slightly, so we were face to face.
"For what?" I stiffened as I felt Gibbs' arms wrap around me. He leaned in closer, and buried his nose into my neck. "We still got to put on the show DiNozzo, they think that we're a couple. The longer we play along, the longer we live. You read the case file, you know what happens next." His voice was barely loud enough for me to hear it, but I under stood. I wrapped my arms around him tightly. I refused to acknowledge what we both knew was going to happen.
"This is my fault Jethro, if I hadn't been there you would have been able to fight them off…" Gibbs shook his head, and pulled away from me, sitting up against the wall with a groan. I shivered involuntarily at the loss of heat.
"No Tony, don't think that, this isn't your fault." I scooted closer, desperate for the heat that our bodies had shared a moment ago. Gibb's pulled me closer to him and then tucked the thin sheet around us both. I loved the feel of his arms around me, even given the circumstances I couldn't help feel a little smug that Gibbs was holding me like this. I felt his face burrow into my hair and I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I got to tell you something Tony…" I nodded, his voice was back to being low again, I had to strain my ears to catch every word. "I took this assignment because I wanted to have a chance to show you that I care about you, in way more than a professional way." I froze and pulled my head back to look at Gibbs, but he kept his face down in case of anyone watching that might be able to read lips. "If we're going to die here, then you need to know, everything that I do in the next seven days is out of love." I tipped Gibbs chin up with my forefinger and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.
"You mean that?" I whispered, our lips barely touching, to anyone watching it would look like we were still kissing.
"Yeah, I really do Tony. That's why Jenny picked you to join me on this assignment, so if it's anyone's fault, it's mine for being a coward." I pressed my lips against his harder, making sure he knew that I didn't think that. "I love you Tony."
"I love you too Jethro." I cuddled up to him, making sure we stayed warm. I could hear Gibbs heart beat, and it was strangely calming to me. "We're going to make it out of this."
"I wish it hadn't taken this-" I pressed my finger against Gibbs' lips, quieting him.
"It doesn't matter, we're here now, and we're going to get through this, together."
POV CHANGE
I sighed and ran my hands over my face, turning to McGee. "I am not calling Abby. You are." McGee froze slightly, and I handed him my phone. "Please, McGee. I do not want to sleep on the floor tonight." The thought of me being the one to deliver the news to my lover that the man she looked up to as a father and her best friend were missing was more than scary.
"She's your girlfriend Ziva! You've got to tell her!" I glared at the phone in my hand and thrust it toward him.
"Oh no, we are a team, yes?" McGee glared at me and walked away, leaving me with the phone in my hand. "Where are you going?"
"To call for a team in, while YOU go tell Abby and Director Sheppard that Gibbs and Tony are gone, I already sent Abbs a text message, she's expecting you down in her lab." I glared at McGee, and turned away. Yes the boy knew how to play dirty.
I made record time getting back to NCIS headquarters, even though my mind was on Gibbs and Tony. I didn't understand how this could happen to them, they were two of the strongest people I'd ever known. Gibbs was the only person that could beat me in a fair fight, and Tony had come very close and that was saying something.
I closed my eyes and leaned my forehead against the elevator wall.
"Ziva!" I opened my eyes, and stepped out, taking a deep breath as Abby threw her arms around me. I wrapped my arms around her slowly, while raising my eye's to meet the directors, trying to convey to her the bad news.
"Abby, I need you to sit down, love." I slowly pried her off of me and led to her to her chair, not meeting her eyes.
"Z, what's wrong?" I could hear the fear in her voice and I ignored the fact that the Director put her hand protectively on Abby's shoulders. "Ziva, what aren't you telling me?"
"Abbs, take a deep breath love, I need you calm okay?" Abby nodded and I kneeled down in front of her, taking her hands into mine.
"McGee and I went and checked on the location that you sent to me," I looked up and met her eyes, willing her to understand. "Gibbs and Tony's phone were there, smashed, and my knife was there under the dumpster… I found an empty syringe as well." Abby's eyes filled with tears, and I glanced up at the director, and she backed away slowly.
Abby threw herself into my arms and sobbed, I wrapped my arms around her tightly as her weight threw me back onto the floor. I managed to keep us both upright and I rocked her slowly while the Director made several phone calls behind us.
"Shh… Abby, we will find them." I pressed my lips to the side of her head and pulled her closer to me, needing the contact as much as she did. "I promise you, we will find them!"
