Marks' hand finally reached and covered Gibbs' crotch. He watched as a pair of arctic cold blue eyes glare at him. Even though, he was in charge, there was something about this man that made him nervous. That was definitely something he wasn't going to let his captive know that. Inside he covered it with a laugh, as he removed his hand.

'As much as I would love to have some fun with you, I'm waiting for Tony. I want him to know and understand how special I think he is. I can't wait to have him beneath me.' The ex-Captain licked his lips as he created the image in his mind. 'I even remember now what it was like to be in him.' Gibbs struggled with his bonds. Marks' voice turned hostile. 'Tony is mine, he always was. You took something that I own. You'll going to have to pay for that. Death is too easy for you. He will give himself to me in exchange for you, and we both know that. The first time we make love, I'm going to film it and send it to you. Thinking about it, if it weren't for you I wouldn't have had anything to exchange, so thank you. It has made things a little easier for me this way.'

Gibbs started to thrash against the handcuffs. He would give anything to protect Tony. He had felt that the day they first met, and as the years went by it became stronger. Now that they were together he would do anything to save Tony or to avenge him. He already knew that Marks was crazy, but he truly did there was a romantic connection between them. It hadn't been rape in his mind if he had thought about it that way it had changed over the years. With the comments, that Tony would've only given himself up for Gibbs, made it clear, he didn't actually know him. He would've done that for a complete stranger. That was the kind of man he was, a good one.

If he got out of this alive, and even if Tony was never in Marks' clutches again, he promised to make sure that his lover would never be bothered again by this psycho.

Marks smiled as Gibbs continued to struggle; he then turned and walked towards a wall that was covered in photos of Tony. Some of them had been from when Tony and Marks and worked in the same precinct, and there was also new ones from his life here. It was clear that as soon as he had escaped he had made his way here. Some of these were of Tony leaving NCIS the day that they had arrived back. Gibbs was truly pissed at himself for, not noticing that there had been someone stalking the man he loved.

Tony was livid; it had been two days of nothing, fucking nothing at all. All this time they were trying to keep him safe and out of Marks clutches. In that time, that monster could have done anything to Gibbs; he could have been raped, tortured and even murdered at this point. Marks wouldn't give anything away until he had what, who he wanted. He had to do something. Tony would never forgive himself if Gibbs had been hurt because of him. He loved the miserable bastard so much. He just wanted Jethro back safe and sound.

Gibbs continued to try and free himself as soon as Marks left him. Before he had been attempting to get his hands on the other man, this was now for escape. He could now start to feel a wetness that seemed to start coating his wrist. He glanced over and noticed that the metal bands had dug into his skin that blood had begun to flow. There was no way he was getting out of these cuffs. All he was doing was making things worse for himself.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed when Marks had walked back in. The kidnapper was smiling. Gibbs' gut was shouting at him that something had happened, and it was going to be something he didn't like. What the hell had Tony done?

'I'd better clean that up. It won't be long before Tony is here. I wouldn't want him to think that I mistreated you.'

'Tony's not coming here.' Gibbs snarled.

'We'll see.' Marks hummed as he grabbed the items from the first aid kit he needed. Lastly, he picked up a vial. A very friendly doctor had given it to him. He realised that he would never be able to give Gibbs or Tony sleeping tablets. Everything was coming together for him finally. Tony would once again be his and this time it would be permanent.

Tony looked through the peephole. Standing there smiling at him was Molly. She lived in an apartment down the hallway. He was glad that as of yet, she hadn't met his father.

'Hey Molly.' He smiled at her as he opened the door.

'Hi Tony, here.' She held out a small box.

'What's this for?' Tony took it carefully.

'It's from your boyfriend. He told me because of your line of work it was difficult for you to be together. He also explained to me that it was your anniversary and that he had planned something very special. There's a phone in there so you can talk privately.' Molly explained a huge smile on her face. She had always been a hopeless romantic. It was evident when they stood talking about films.

Tony kept the happy look pasted on his face. He knew that it was not from Gibbs. There was only one person it could be from.

'Thanks, Molly, I'm sure whatever he has planned will be ….memorable.' He felt as if he were going to throw up.

'You'll have to tell me all about it.' Holly walked away from the door. She stopped a little down the hallway, turned and waved at him. He was really; really glad she had never met his father. Senior would able to play her very quickly.

Tony shut the door and leaned against it as he stared at the box in his hand. He made it over to the couch and sat down. The box was placed on the coffee table. With shaking hands, he reached out and pulled the lid off. Seated in the middle of it was a small, harmless cell phone. He picked it up and after taking a very deep breath he turned it on. As he checked the contact list, there was one number already programmed in. He pressed it and he could hear ringing.

Marks had been about to give him the vial of liquid to knock him out when suddenly a cell went off.

'I've been waiting for this call.' He walked away and into his bedroom so Gibbs couldn't hear any part of the conversation. His gut was screaming at him that this wasn't something good. He had no doubt that it was to do with Tony. Marks had no other interest apart from DiNozzo.

Sacks sat in his car and stared at Tony's building. His partner for the night had been called to an urgent meeting to do with a previous case. There was someone else on their way to join him. This was the second night of absolutely nothing happening. He was tired, due to the fact that he had some entertainment with a very flexible lady when he should have been sleeping. He could rest his eyes for a couple of minutes. DiNozzo was safe until a plan had been sorted out. It wasn't as if he was someone important. Sacks lent his head back against the rest and closed his eyes.

Tony had snuck out of the emergency exit. He will still need to pass the front of the building. He needed to work out if a distraction was needed. He was so glad that Sacks was the one outside. That was one FBI agent that he could easily out think, and had done so on a few occasions. Sacks feelings of hate towards him would also work in his favour. It meant that the other man wouldn't be as vigilant. Tony put the binoculars he carried against his eyes, and played with the focus until everything was clear. He could see Sacks alone and asleep. At any times, he would be pissed off about someone not doing their job properly. This time it actually worked for him, and Sacks was going to be in enough trouble when they found out Tony was gone.

He put the binoculars away into a backpack, which he slung over his shoulder. He walked out and casually walked straight passed the FBI vehicle smiling as a man walked into the building. Tony breathed a little easier as soon as he turned the corner and was out of eyesight. He wasn't going to take anything for granted.

Gibbs could feel the dread start to build up as he was heavily manacled and placed in a wheelchair. Marks had come back after the call much more cheerful. He ignored the vial and cleaned up the bloody wrists before the heavier restraints were added.

'What's going on Marks?'

'Tony said he would only give himself up if you were released unharmed. One he sees that you're safe he will come to me of his own free will.' Marks eyes became frigid. 'He also knows that if he betrays my trust I have things in place. The people he cares most about will be tortured but will survive. All the people he's every dated will be killed in the most horrible ways he can ever think of.'

Gibbs wasn't surprised that Tony would hand himself over. He also knew that Vance and Fornell wouldn't allow it, which meant Tony had given them the slip. He was going to kill whoever was supposed to be watching DiNozzo; there would also be a few words with his lover when this was over. Gibbs would find Tony; he would never give up even if he had to quit NCIS to do it. There was one other thing that would happen Simon Marks was going to pay dearly, for everything.
