Her head pounded, her mouth felt like there was cotton balls in it, and she was sitting up, resting against a stone wall. She made a move to get herself up then she noticed that her hands were suspended above her, she tried to bring them down only to notice that she was shackled to the wall. Her mind was foggy and she struggled to piece together a thought. She began to panic as she took in where she was. Stone walls surrounded her, there was a window above her, letting in a bare glimmer of light. She swallowed and struggled against the chains. A few futile efforts later the sound of an opening door chilled her blood. She looked up as a familiar man walked in. She concentrated, trying to recall his face. Then a memory rose, the agent from the elevator, the one who had lead her outside, he had done this to her. Instantly anger replaced her fear, she glared at him, she would have sworn had her mouth not been gagged. He laughed, and once more her blood chilled, his laugh was almost maniacal and she was for once in her career terrified for her life. still she kept her mind infused with anger. He said in a soft voice, one that promised harm "are you going to fight me agent todd?" she glared at him swearing inside her head that she would fight him to her dying breath. It was at this point she spotted the long silver object in his hand, a shock of fear raced through her, it was a cattle prod. He noticed her gaze "now if you promise to behave i'll take the gag off" she met his eyes and nodded he moved forward and pulled the gag down "why?" she croaked the second he had removed it.
He smirked "you were getting close, i saw your computer, you almost had me, see Gibbs, i had a plan for Gibbs, but with his quick exit i knew the director would have given him some vital clue, but you, you were just there, waiting for me to take you" she shivered as he withdrew a long blade from its sheath at his waist. The edge glinted as he held it before her. "I didn't want to hurt you, but you are just like that petty officer, to curious for your own good" the blade sliced across her face, leaving a shallow but painful cut. She hissed and kept silent. He laughed "good girl, nice and silent, and you can stop thinking Gibbs is going to rush to your rescue, because i doubt he'll even notice you're gone, and we are so very well hidden" she glared at him "go to hell" he backhanded her as he stood up, "you'll learn not to annoy me agent Todd" he replaced the gag in her mouth and left her in the dank cell.
She pulled at the chains, for once in her life feeling utterly helpless. She yanked and struggled until her body felt weak from exhaustion; she let her head hang back against the wall and closed her eyes. 'Gibbs...please...hurry' she let her eyes close as her body rested, clinging silently to the thought of Gibbs.
