CHAPTER 2-

Hours later, the team began to wake up. Tony was first awake, he half opened his eyes in the darkness, he looked around cautiously at the four solid walls around him then realising he was trapped inside. He observed the scene noticing he wasn't alone scattered around him on the floor were the other members of his team. He knelt down next to Ziva and shook her shoulders recklessly trying to get her attention in hope that she might wake up.

A few minutes went by and Ziva began to stir. Tony sighed in relief and sat her up against the cold stone wall. "Ziva…. Zi", Tony was interrupted by Ziva murmuring something under her breath. "Where am I… Tony, boy am I glad to see you, I don't know what happened it just suddenly went black and I ended up he…" Ziva was also interrupted this time by Tony placing a finger on her lips and placing his other hand on hers to calm her. "Ziva, its fine we are going to be ok the same thing happened to me and most likely McSleepy and Abs over here, and before you panic they are totally ok… I think, they haven't woken up yet", Tony assured her. Ziva just smiled up at him as they helped each other to their feet.

Then it occurred to them both that they were trapped. Enclosed in the small environment, they comprehended that they weren't going anywhere for a while. They turned to face each other almost reading each other's minds… is-this-the-end? The colour drained from their faces in panic thinking that this was where they were going to die. One former mossad agent, one senior field agent, one computer whizz and a crazy scientist. Nobody would know when they did, where they died and how they died; it would be left a mystery…

About an hour or so later Tony and Ziva were crouching in the corner when McGee and Abby seemed to start to regain consciousness. Tony and Ziva walked over slowly giving them a chance to sit up for themselves. "Morning, have a nice sleep, McDreamy?", Tony whispered. Ziva gave Tony a gentle slap on his arm and laughed. Tim stood up carefully using the wall to help him he stared around the bewildered room with a puzzled expression. Abby started to say some random stuff which nobody could make out then all of a sudden screamed the words "GIBBS I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING, I DON'T DESERVE A CAF-POW, HOWEVER I REALLY COULD DO WITH ONE RIGHT NOW!" Her volume lowered towards the end of her random outburst. The rest of the team gave a frightened but concerned gaze at Abby as she recalled what the hell just happened.

They stood in room thinking why they had been taken, and how they had got here in the first place. When, Ziva went into a deep thought…"There has got to be a way out because we can't just magically appear in a room with four solid walls, if there is a way in there is always a way out!" The teams eyes lit up, she was right, they started to feel for something, anything, they didn't know what, just something I guess.

Eventually, they gave up after no luck. "Try the ceiling", Tony barked. "And how do you plan on doing that, Tony, the room is empty only containing four hopelessly trapped people", Ziva quizzed. "Make that four ninjas and the good old fashioned way called a foot lift, Zee-vah", Tony added, so confident that he emphasized her name. She smiled and was secretly hoping that Tony was right. "Ziva, come here and I will give you a boost!" Ziva strolled over to Tony smiling gracefully; she placed her hands on Tony's shoulders and foot on his hands as he pushed Ziva up as high as he could. "Ziva, I never had the opportunity to tell you this but seen as though now seems like a good time to, you have a really nice ass its very feminine and sexy, damn did I just confess that?" Tony looked quite embarrassed, but it all turned out ok when Ziva started to blush. "What are you saying, Tony?" Tony met her eyes as they locked, her big brown eyes were staring deeply into the back of his and he slowly announced "I guess what I'm trying to tell you my little ninja is I think you are really fit and I haven't had the chance to compliment you yet…" Ziva took her eyes off of Tony's and concentred back on the ceiling as she noticed a gap of light between the wall and ceiling. Abby gave tony a nod towards Ziva to carry on with the compliments. Ziva jumped down prudently and announced that there was a gap and that the ceiling had been placed on and that it was their way out. Tony used that as his cue to admit something very personal. He took a deep breath and grabbed Ziva and turned her to face him, he looked into her eyes meaningfully. "I guess what I was trying to say before is that… I love you, Ziva and that you are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes on and I can't control my feelings for you anymore, they are just driving me crazy… crazy for you Ziva, you probably don't feel the same way in return but at least I have come clean" he took another deep breath and his eyes began to fill up with tears. "I love you too, Tony".

They both had tears streaming down their faces as Tony put his arms around her waist, pulled her in close, Ziva linked her arms around his neck and they gradually got closer together and eventually their lips connected and they kissed passionately, deeply and romantically for a good minute or so before Ziva opened her mouth allowing Tony's tongue to slip inside as their tongues wrestled. When they finally released, they both had childish grins upon their faces.
