Wow, this is the fourth fic I've updated today. That's a record for me, I'm on a roll!

Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews, I truly appreciate each and every one, please keep them coming.

Enjoy!

Ziva recovers quickly, but Tony still sees the unbridled fear in her eyes. "Sorry."

Tony repeats his previous question, now sure that there is something his partner, his girlfriend isn't telling him. "Are you alright Ze?"

Ziva stands up slightly straighter, despite the pain it causes, and firmly tells him. "I am fine, Tony. It is late, you should leave." She then moves to close the door in his face.

Not deterred, Tony quickly puts his foot between the door, stopping it from closing.

After trying for a moment to close the door, Ziva gives up, and opens it completely. "Fine. Come in."

Tony is surprised, but quickly enters the apartment, and follows Ziva over to the couch. "Are the kids in bed?"

"Yes, even though I had to tell them three stories about Saul to get them to settle. I do not know why they help, but... the proof is in the sleeping children." Ziva tells him.

Tony smiles, but doesn't forget why he is here, he just puts it aside for a minute. "He was their father, Ze, it makes sense that they want to know about him."

Ziva nods sadly, painful memories of her late husband coming to the surface.

Tony tries to comfort Ziva, hold her, but she jumps away again. He knows that something has happened, something very bad. "Ziva, please talk to me."

Ziva looks around quickly, Tony assumes that she is checking that the kids are still in bed, she then says, is a voice that is barely a whisper. "I was raped, Tony."

Tony's jaw drops, this explains why she took today's case so hard. He sits there stunned for a moment before asking. "When?"

Steeling herself, Ziva answers. "Friday night."

"Are you alright?" Tony asks with concern.

Ziva fights not to cry. "Everything is healing. I have to take medicines to try to prevent me getting something."

Tony desperately wants just to hold her, tell her everything is fine, but he knows that right now that would be the worst thing he could do. "Where?"

"He drugged me, and took me from Destiny club, in Georgetown. I was found in Anacostia Park, half in the river the next morning."

A look of realization crosses Tony's face. "That girl today... Whoever killed her..."

"Raped me." Ziva finishes for him.

They talk for several more minutes before Ziva says. "I am going to bed now, Tony."

"Do you want me to go?" Tony asks, motioning towards the door.

"No, please stay." She tells him, then adding. "On the couch though."

Tony nods in understanding and agreement. "Okay. Night Ze." He pauses. "Thank you for telling me."

Ziva then goes off to bed, while Tony retrieves several blankets and pillows from the linen cupboard, and makes himself a bed on the couch.

The next morning, Tony is in the kitchen, making breakfast when Jezebel comes in, rubbing the sleep away from her eyes as she walks over to him. "Tony? Why are you here? Where is Ima?"

Tony stops what he is doing, kneels down, and picks up the young girl. "Your mom's still sleeping. I thought I'd make you guys something to eat."

Jezebel's sleepy, confused self then asks him. "Why isn't papa here?"

Tony's heart almost breaks everytime she asks questions like this, she's too young to fully understand that her father is dead, has been for almost three years. So, he avoids answering, by saying. "Do you want to help me make breakfast, Belle?"

Jezebel nods excitedly, and quickly starts to 'help' Tony.

As Ziva and Tony step out of the elevator, McGee is working busily at his computer, searching for the identity of Jane Doe. He almost falls off his chair in shock when a picture of Ziva, bruised and broken pops up on the screen. He shouts out to Gibbs. "Boss. We've got a problem. Jane Doe... it's...um..." McGee stammers hesitantly.

Gibbs looks at him impatiently. "It's who? McGee."

Ziva steps into the squad room, her posture hiding how terrified she is of telling them. "It's me." She says, avoiding looking them in the eye.

Gibbs jaw drops, and he visibly pales. "What?" He questions, surely he must have heard wrong.

Whilst making a close examination of her shoes, Ziva replies. "I was raped, nearly killed. Another half hour ...the water... rising." She starts shaking, and Tony quickly guides her over to her chair.

After giving Ziva time to calm herself down, Gibbs brings a chair over, and sits down beside her. "I'll need to get a statement from you Ziva."

"Boss, can't this wait? She's been through enough." Tony pleads, partially not wanting to make Ziva relive her assault, partially not wanting to hear the details of the worst moment of his girlfriend's life.

Ziva wipes away the last tears from her eyes, and turns to Gibbs. "It is okay. I will tell you." She then begins to retell her story, her voice level and cold, emotionless. "It was last Friday night. I left my children..." Gibbs and McGee exchange surprised glances, but Ziva doesn't notice as she continues. "...with Jen, and went to Destiny nightclub with some friends. I had only been there a few minutes when a man-"

Gibbs interrupts her. "What did he look like, Ziva?"

Undeterred, she answers. "Mid twenties, white, attractive, a normal guy. He came over, bought me a drink, I..." Ziva looks ill as she says. "I flirted with him."

"Did you get a name, Ziva?" McGee asks, already typing this information into his computer.

"He said it was Jack, but that is most likely an alias." Ziva tells him, before continuing. "Maybe a minute later, I got dizzy, could not stay awake. He carried me out to his car, I could not stop him."

Tony is shocked as he hears these details that she'd left out the night before, and though they shock him, horrify him, the investigator in him has to ask. "Did you remember anything about the car?"

Ziva pauses for a moment. "I was very out of it. But I remember that it was a convertible, dark coloured, light interior. I saw the plates, ended in 4-K-N."

Gibbs looks like he's just won the lottery. That is almost certainly enough information, that they'll be able to find this guy. But still he has to ask. "Do you remember anything else? Where he took you? Anything?"

Ziva shakes her head. "No, I am sorry. The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital."

Gibbs moves to comfort her, but Tony gives him a look that says 'don't'. So he turns around to McGee. "Did you get all that?"

"...Yes Boss. BOLO is out."

TBC...

Thanks for reading!

Please take a minute to leave me a review.

The team knows. What will Gibbs do when he finds 'Jack'? What will Tony do? And don't go forgetting about that HIV test.
