Ryan had heard what he feared as he stood just outside the safe house. He had hoped to sneak into the safe house in the early hours of the morning but it seemed that he was not the only one awake. He crouched outside a window as he listened to the conversation Agent DiNozzo was having to Abby on the phone.

"Hey Abbs, you never found out who's partial was on that envelope?" He heard a quite mumbling sound that was coming through the receiver as Abby replied.

"OK what if I tell you someone… Can you quickly tell me whether it's them or not?"

"Ryan Addison"

His heart pounded in his chest as he heard Tony say his name with venom. He knew. He quickly ran back towards his car fumbling with the keys as he swore under his breath. A million things ran through his head as he started to speed down the road.

How could I be so sloppy, I screwed up this time!

No, it's not your fault, you didn't know she would have a mental breakdown and screw everything.

They don't even know where you have her… You have time…

Will I take her with me? Kill her…

Shit…

Deep down he knew that he couldn't take her with him… He screwed it up, big time. He knew what he had to do…

Moving, Breathing, Blinking… Everything hurt as Ziva finally awoke to her surroundings. Fighting back did nothing but make it harder for her as Ryan decided to have his way with her last night. The only good news was he didn't go all the ways. It seemed he was taking things slow… and as sickening as the thought was, 'Savouring the moment'. After the speech he gave and how he had forced himself on her before she was surprised last night didn't include rape; but she knew it was only a matter of time.

She tried to sit up slowly against the cold concrete wall as her eyes adjusted to the first rays of light that came through the small barred window. Dried blood covered her from the gashes on her face and the wound on the back of her head. Blood had smeared the concrete floor from where she slept and she shuddered as the pain started to resurface. She knew that it would be too good to be true if she was once again rescued. She had heard of second chances, not so much third and her hope was quickly fading. Her mind began to wander as she stared at the small piece of light blue sky out the window; one thing seemed to occupy her thoughts constantly. Tony DiNozzo. Her partner for six years and now a constant thought in her mind. She used him as an escape to the horror around her as she thought of his endless movie quotes and childish behaviour that made her laugh. She thought of what it would be like if they had ever gotten together, and what he will be like when she's gone. Would he miss her as much as she would miss him if the roles were reversed? She could only hope so.

Her day dreaming was intruded by the sound of rusty bolts in the steel door. She held her breath as she waited for him to barge in, take control and exploit her. But to her surprise he seemed agitated and nervous as he walked in and shut the door behind him. There was no sound as he stared at her from the far side of the room and she waited for him to speak. When he didn't say anything she started to get worried and she watched him pace to room deep in thought before opening the door and leaving the room again. Now she was more than confused as she stared at the closed door. Questions flew through her mind as to what could be happening and scenarios began to come together in her head. All of them bad.

Ten minutes later the door opened again and what was dumped on the ground in front of her sent her heart rate through the roof.

Tony was outside within seconds of hanging up the phone to Abby. The cool night air was a major contrast to the heat that ran through his veins. Jumping in the car he fiddled with his keys until he found the ignition and started the car. Adrenaline pumped through him at the thought of finding Ziva and it took a while before he began to think straight. He had no idea where Ryan was and where he had his partner. Not only that, he couldn't go off into the early hours of the morning without backup or any trace that he went to find her. The car engine cut off as he rested his head on the steering wheel taking deep, sharp breaths. He could hear the safe house door slam and heavy footsteps towards his car before there was a knock at the window.

"DiNozzo, what the hell are you doing!" Came a sharp voice from outside the car. Tony lifted his head slowly to face an irate Gibbs shaking his head with a 'what on earth do you think you are doing!' face. He opened the car door and stepped out before getting a blow to the back off his head. "It's not even four in the morning and you are waking everyone up! What the hell are you…" He stopped when he realised the serious look on the Agents face.

"Sorry Boss… It was important…" Gibbs expression changed to worry as he realised something was wrong.

"Tony what is it?"

"I know who has Ziva. It's… It's Ryan."

"Ryan… Ryan Addison? What makes you say that?"

"I rechecked the surveillance footage… It was tampered with. The photo that was found in the envelope of Ziva and Ryan came off a security camera. I got Abs to run the partial against Addison… It was a match." Gibbs was in the safe house before another word could be said and Tony ran in after him.

"Tobias!" Fornell staggered out of the bedroom red eyed and yawning.

"What's with all the noise, can't anyone get some…" Gibbs cut him off with a sharp tone.

"Where's Addison."

"I don't know he… Why?"

"McGee! Track his cell." The young agent was also awaken by the noise and was listening in on the conversation.

"Sure thing Boss." He rushed to one of the laptops and started tracing the number as Fornell looked around confused.

"Is anyone going to tell me what's happening?"

"How long have you known Agent Addison?" Gibbs stared him down as he stumbled for an answer.

"I… I've only met him once before briefly on a case before this one. Why, what is happening?" Tony replayed what he had told Gibbs only moments earlier, expression grave.

"Son of a bitch!" The four agents gathered around the computer as the trace continued eventually showing that the cell was dumped only a block from the house.

"McGee call Abby… Get her to put a trace on the cars GPS. Start looking for answers!"

The chains around her feet rattled as she got pulled into the sunlight towards the jetty. The water was calm and crystal clear and the smell of ocean salt was overpowering. She struggled against Ryan as he dragged her down the old wooden boards and he reefed her hair downwards every time she tried to pry her way from his grip. Pain shot through her head and neck and her breathing became laboured as she realised what was to come. A large dingy was positioned at the top right side of the jetty and she wondered where he was going to take her and how much harder it would be for anyone to find her. She braced herself to get in the boat when she was pulled to a stop by a tug of her sticky blood stained pony tail.

"Let us call someone who is very worried about you. Infact so worried that he looks like complete shit. So I think we will be kind and give him a courtesy call." This puzzled her exceedingly. There was a little voice telling her that it was Tony and she felt a little hope inside and her stomach did a little flip at the thought of him caring so much. This feeling didn't last long as she began to fear that he too would get involved.

"No, I do not think we should call. Please just do not call him."

"Don't be silly Ziva; we will call him right now." He took out his phone and pushed speed dial before putting it on loud speaker. The phone began to ring and Ziva only hoped it wasn't answered, no matter how much she wanted to hear his voice.

"Hello?"

"Hello Agent DiNozzo…"

"God Damit Ryan where is she!"

"Calm down… She is right here aren't you Ziva…" She didn't dare make a sound as she looked at him with a cold expression. "Ziva… Talk to him." Her direct stare did not leave his eyes as her lips stayed sealed. "Well that's too bad Ziva…" She felt a tug on her hair as he pulled down more forceful then before, a scream came up that she couldn't hold down as pain shot through her head.

"Stop! Just stop! Why did you call… Just tell me what you want?"

"You want your partner back… Let me go free."

"No Tony… He has killed 12 women! You can't!"

"Tony… You have a strong girl here. If you listen to her… She will die." There was silence over the line for a while before Tony spoke again.

"How do I know she will be safe. How do I know you won't hurt her?" The pain in his voice was evident as he tried to bargain for her life and she could barely listen. The thought of this man beside her going free made her want to vomit. She wanted to kill him right there on the spot, if only she could.

"Come meet me… alone… and I will hand her over. But if I find you are not alone, she will die. You must do exactly as I say."

"OK"

"I will text you where I am. Remember, alone." With that he hung up to leave a distraught Tony on the other end.

Then there was a dial tone. Tony shut his phone and waited for the message to come through anxiously. Gibbs heard the conversation and looked worried at what the real plan may be.

"Tony I don't think…" McGee started but was cut off by an irate voice.

"I have to."

"Now hold on and we can figure something out DiNozzo."

"No Fornell… There is no time." The message came through with an address and a ten minute time limit. He cursed at how close the place was and they didn't even know she was there. Gibbs knew there was no deterring him so instead he came up with an alternative.

"Tony, you go alone; but we will come after ten minutes OK. That is as good as it's going to get. You need some kind of backup. Addison's smart, there will be a catch." Barely listening Tony gave a tight nod before grabbing his gun and keys and leaving the safe house.

The sand stretched on for miles both ways and the only thing in sight was a small beach house with a jetty. Tony's heart was leaping out of his chest as he drove closer and could make out two figures. He knew that there was no possible way to sneak in backup, with sand all around them a car to sneaking by would be impossible. His sweaty hands gripped the steering wheel hard as the car slowed down nearer the house and eventually came to a complete stop. He could see her at the end of the jetty, hair blowing through the wind, her arms tightly bounded behind her back and the dried blood that covered her face and arms. The image brought back memories of Somalia and he hoped this time things would be easier. After letting the image of her pierce his memories he slowly got out of the car, gun drawn. He walked up to the edge of the small jetty and faced Ryan, gun pointed at him.

"Don't do anything stupid there Tony." He turned slightly so that he could see the gun pressed into the middle of Ziva's back. Tony took in her appearance closer up and something made him turn cold. Shackles entangled her hands and feet and to them 2 weights were chained. He didn't lower his gun; there was no way he was letting him go free if he could help it.

"Now I see that you have come with no back up… I am glad. But you see I have worked in an agency too long and I know that they will be here soon enough so let's speed things up."

"I'm not just going to let you leave you know."

"You don't understand do you. You will have no choice."

"What do you mean I will have no choice…"

"Let me explain how this is going to work… You cannot shoot me because then that means the end of Miss David's life here. So… I am going to just… wait, until the others drive just over that rise there." He cocked his head towards the sand dune he had previously driven over, about a kilometre always. "Once I see them, I am going the drop her in the water. Now your options are to chase me, or save your partner." His blood ran cold as he realised what was happening. The weights, the water. If he didn't jump in after her she would drown. The idea was completely insane yet achieved what he wanted, he would get away. Tony's heart pounded in his chest as he saw the fear in Ziva's eyes. She had not looked at him or spoken the whole time he had been there but now her eyes were locked with his. Her face was ghostly as she looked at him, her eyes dilated and blood shot. She started to shake her head slowly and opened her mouth as if she was to say something but then closed it again shortly after looking away. He looked back up at Ryan who had seen the exchange and now had a sadistic smile on his face. He looked up into the distance and then back at Ziva, caressing her cheek softly. Before Tony knew it he was kissing her, hard on the lips, and then she was in the water.
