"Gibbs, over there, Ziva's car." He said poiting to the other side of the parking lot, they both got into Gibbs car and drove over to where Ziva's car was parked.

The first thing they noticed was blood splatter on the ground next to the drivers side door.


When Tony noticed the blood he started nervously rambling and Gibbs head slapped him

"Get it together DiNozzo" Gibbs barked

"Thanks, Gibbs.'' Tony said, composing himself. "Do you think it's hers?" He asked Gibbs.

"Honestly?" Gibbs asked Tony, looking over to him to see Tony nod. "I do." Gibbs reached into his pocket and grapped a tissue and blotted some of the blood up to bring back for Abby to test.

"I don't think we should make any indication that this is a crime scene, if it's someone who works in or around the hospital it could spook them, it would be better if they thought that we had no idea Ziva was in any trouble." Tony explained

"That's Good, DiNozzo." Gibbs said surprised

"I have my moments." He said as they got into the car and headed for NCIS.


Ziva was sleeping when the door to the room opened, and she awoke when it was slammed shut. When Ziva saw her attacker she began to yell.

"You are seriously pistachios or almonds, or whatever the saying is!" Ziva spat.

"I think you mean to say I'm nuts?"

"Yes, that is what I meant!" Ziva said, her accent strong from all of the anger building up inside of her.

"How long have you been in this country? You don't even know the saying 'You're nuts'?"


The entire ride back to NCIS all Tony did was think about all the terrible things that could be happening to Ziva, and he thought of all the people that might have kidnapped her. He thought of Ray, Her father, someone that held a grudge from her Mossad days, and then all the people she and team Gibbs had put away over the years. There were too many suspects, and they had no idea how much time they had until they lost her. Tony couldn't lose her, now that he actually had her. They were finally together, and now this had to happen.

He should have spoke sooner when she had said she wanted to get married. He was just so relieved when she said that. He was so shocked and happy he couldn't find the words to describe it. He used to be afraid of commitment , but with Ziva it felt different. The thought of marrying her didn't feel like being committed, it felt like being privileged to be allowed to spend the rest of his life with her. Tony could have punched himself right now, he had had the time to tell Ziva this, but he had just sat there like an idiot and now she was missing.

"What did you fight about?" Gibbs asked, breaking the silence.

"We didn't fight." Tony answered

"She only has ever left the hospital around five in the morning, why did she leave DiNozzo?" Gibbs barked, demanding an answer

"I asked her if she would ever want to get married." Tony started and he looked over at Gibbs who looked shocked "She said she did, and I was just so relieved I didn't say anything, I guess she took that as a bad sign and she stormed out of the room before I could say anything. I anything happens to her...I don't know what I'll do"

"We'll get her back, Tony, promise." Gibbs said. Tony had realized he had called him Tony instead of DiNozzo, which meant Gibbs had just as bad of a feeling about this as Tony did.


"Why are you doing this? " Ziva yelled, instead of an answer she got a kick in the face. Her nose started to bleed heavily and she was left alone to try and make it stop.


Gibbs rushed off the elevator at NCIS, crossed the bullpen, and went straight to Abby's lab, Caf-Pow in hand. Tony followed after him,moving as fast as he could. He was having trouble with the crutches, leaving him to move considerably slower. Tony finally reached his old desk, he sat down and instantly regretted his decision to leave team Gibbs in the first place. He looked over to Ziva's empty desk across the bullpen, and more regrets rushed through him.

He shouldn't have stayed quiet. He realized now why it had freaked her out. He was never quiet, ever. He should have just kissed her while he thought of what to would have bought him time, a lot of time probably. She wouldn't of run off if he did that. Why didn't he do that? He was such an idiot! No matter what he did, he always seemed to put her in harms way. So many times he out her in danger, heck, he was the reason she ended up in Somalia. What if h couldn't save her this time? He like he was going to be sick, he needed her to be okay.

"Tony?" McGee called bringing Tony out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" Tony answered

"You okay? I've been calling your name for the past five minutes." McGee said in a concerned tone.

"No, I'm not okay. I can't lose her McGee. This is all my fault, we have no idea where she is, she could be dead!" Tony yelled, his heart breaking with with every word.

"We'll find her" McGee said but Tony didn't look convinced. "We will find her!" McGee said again, louder, and more assertive. Tony simply nodded and turned on the computer

Gibbs came back into the bullpen then.

"I'll get us all some coffee." Gibbs said, leaving

Tony looked down at his watch; 3:04 am. It was going to be a long night.

"In the morning I want to bring Jeanne in for questioning." Tony told McGee

"What? You think she did this?" McGee asked. He was completely and utterly shocked.

"Ziva had said she was acting weird earlier. Anything's possible." Tony said


"Wake up" Ziva heard someone yell and she sat up immediately. It was definitely a man who had yelled, but her attacker had been a woman. Ziva's head began to spin from how abruptly she sat up. When her eyes focused she saw the familiar man in front of her.

"Oh, you have go to be kidding me!" She said in disbelief. "This has got to be some kind of joke." she said before she got kicked in the face, causing her nose to begin to bleed again. He just stared at her before kicking her again.

"Does my father know about this?" Ziva asked, her voice raspy. He didn't answer, he just walked out of the room again without a word.


"On your six boss!" Tony yelled after being hit in the head with a paper ball while he was sleeping. His head shot up and he looked around for Gibbs and he saw McGee smirking. Tony rubbed his eyes and threw the paper ball back, hitting McGee in the face without even looking.

"You've been asleep for five hours, lets go pick up Jeanne.'' McGee said getting up from the desk.


"You think I what?" Jeanne yelled in the interrogation room.

"I think you kidnapped Ziva." Tony repeated

"Why on Earth would I do that?" Jeanne asked

"I don't know, how about you enlighten me." Tony said

"If I kidnapped her do you think I would really be alive right now?" Jeanne asked. Tony ignored her question

"Where were you last night?" Tony asked

"Home, alone. You can go check, I promise Ziva isn't tied up in a closet there."

"So can anyone prove you were home?" Tony asked

"The doorman,I got in around 11, didn't leave until around 7:30, the same door man both times." Jeanne explained

"That's a long shift for a door man, working 11 until 7:30." Tony said,trying to find a flaw in her alibi.

"The shifts usually 10-6, but the other doorman was sick so he was taking the extra shift." Jeanne said

"Where is she?" Tony yelled

"I have no idea!" Jeanne yelled back

"Where is she?" He repeated

"I didn't kidnap her." Jeanne replied with her teeth clenched.

"You know something, I'll come back later and maybe you'll be more willing to talk to me then." He said and he stormed out of the room, not bothering to grab his crutches.

"You shouldn't be walking on your leg" She called after him.

Jeanne did know something, but she couldn't tell him. If she told him anything they would kill her and Ziva.
