"Gibbs! Over here! I found them!"

Mcgee was sprinting towards a lock up. They had been looking for a couple of hours for Ziva and Tony and they only had luck when Gibbs interrogated the suspect. Gibb's felt a relief as he started to sprint towards Mcgee, he knew that there was a high chance that his team was going to be dead but that dint stop him. Gibbs pushed off the floor as hard as he could with each stride, time was ticking away and he needed to get to them fast. Once he got the lock up he pulled up the shutters and saw the wooden box in the middle of the room. Mcgee had blankets, water and food in his back pack ready to give it to Tony and Ziva, he was sure they would still be alive. The box was locked with a metal pad lock, this prevented Gibbs getting to the two.

"Mcgee run back to the car and get me the metal cutters from the boot. Go now!"

Mcgee ran so fast that he was back in a flash.

"Tony, Ziva, were gonna get you out!"

In a quick movement Gibb's had removed the pad lock and opened the lid of the box. His eyes widened as he saw Tony and Ziva laying there in each other's arms.

"Tony! Ziva!"

Gibbs placed his fingers on Tony's neck to check his pulse as he was closer to him.

"Boss?"

Tony's eyes opened slowly, he squinted as the sun light hit his eyes. He had to open and close his eyes to make sure that he wasn't just imagining things. He looked up and saw Gibbs standing over the box looking into it and then he looked at Mcgee who was already on the phone to the ambulance giving them directions to where they were. His eyes then slowly lowered to the women lying limp next to him. She looked so peaceful and beautiful.

"Ziva, wake up, they came for us! Told ye Gibbs would think of something."

Tony shook her lightly, not wanting to scare her. She wouldn't wake up. Tony's smile was no longer on his face, instead a tear ran down his it.

"Ziva stop messing around, wake up!"

This time he shook her harder, she still didn't open her eyes. Tony was in shock, he started to shake her harder not giving up. Gibbs walked around the box to get on the side were Tony was, he lowered his hands into the box and put them under Tony's arms. Swiftly he pulled Tony hard out of the box.

"Tony calm down! Go over there and sit down! Mcgee!"

"Yes boss!"

"Give Tony something to drink and a blanket before he passes out!"

Gibbs lifted one leg over the edge of the box and the other followed. He lowered himself into the box being careful not to stand on any part of Ziva's body as there wasn't much room in the box. Worry was in his eyes, he dint want to panic in front of Tony, as it would only make it worse on him. The last thing Tony needed was to see the man he thought of as a strong man panicking. He slowly placed his fingers under her neck to feel her pulse.

"She has a pulse! Its slow, but she has one!"

He then lowered his ear to her nose and mouth to check if she was breathing. He felt a light breath on his cheek. This made Gibb's heart beat fast, she wasn't dead! Ziva wasn't dead!

"Mcgee, she's alive, were is the ambulance! We need her to get to hospital quickly!"

"Boss there on their way! There's been an accident on the motorway but there trying their best to get here"

"That's not good enough Mcgee!"

Gibbs dint know what to do, if he dint get her to hospital quickly they could lose her forever. Gibbs had to think and fast.

"Mcgee, go get the car now! Tony, come here."

Mcgee was off again, running fast to go get the car. Tony got up and walked quickly to Gibbs, his face was pale and sad. Once he reached the box he looked down into it and saw Ziva laying there, not moving. Gibbs saw his chest cave in the minute Tony saw her and he stood up and took his head in his hands. Tony dint look at him, his eyes stayed fixed on Ziva.

"Tony listen to me, I need you to be strong now. For Ziva. The only chance she has is if we get her to the hospital now. Tony do you think you will be able to carry her for me?"

Tony's eyes moved from her to him. This was a chance for him to maybe make up for the fact that it was his fault they were in this mess, he might be able to save her.

"Yes boss."

"Good boy."

Gibbs quickly bent back down towards Ziva and placed his hand under her legs and then the other under her back. He was slow picking her up, he wanted to be careful with her, she was fragile. Tony reached his hands out so that Gibbs could place her in his arms. Once Tony had her Mcgee was there with the car.

"Go DiNozzo"

Tony quickly walked to the car with Ziva in his arms, Gibbs was behind him. Gibbs swapped sides with Mcgee so he could drive, he was quicker. Tony opened the car door and lightly lay Ziva along the back seat, he quickly got in with her and sat on the floor next to her, it was a tight squeeze but he dint care if he was comfortable or not, all he cared about was Ziva. Once Tony was in Gibbs quickly drove off towards the hospital. The ride was quite, not one word was exchanged between them. Tony had his arm over Ziva to protect her from falling, he just stared at her just hoping that she would wake up now but she dint. Tony lowered his face to her ear and whispered in it.

"Ziva please fight this. You can do it I know you can. Please Ziva just wake up."

A tear left his eye and landed on her cheek. Tony saw this and wiped it up with his thumb, he then left a soft kiss were the tear had landed.

"I love you Ziva"

Once at the hospital the paramedics took Ziva from the car and put her on the stretcher and quickly rushed her inside to try and save her. Tony followed right next to her, holding her hand tightly not wanting to let go of her.

"You're gonna have to let go now Sir, we will do all we can, I promise."

With that Tony squeezed Ziva's hand and slowly let go. He stud and watched her leave until she was out of sight, this could have been the last time he ever saw her he thought. Gibbs saw Tony's hand move to his heart and slowly walked up behind him. Tony felt his hand squeeze his shoulder, he was still staring down the corridor after Ziva hoping that she would be walking towards him soon.

"She's going to fine isn't she boss?"

"It's Ziva, she's one hell of a fighter."

Tony took a deep breath and slowly turned to Gibbs who put his arm around his shoulder, they walked to the seats and sat there with their heads in their hands just waiting to hear that Ziva was going to be fine. A long hour past till they heard something.

"We have managed to make Miss David comfortable but from the lack of oxygen she has slipped into a comer, we don't know how long she will be in it or how brain damaged she's going to be if she wakes up. I'm sorry. All we can do now is wait"

The whole room caved in around Tony, this was all his fault, all he could think of was that she was not going to come back. He collapsed to the seat and started to think about all the times he had the chance to tell her how he felt. The memories were clear in his mind, he never missed a single detail.

"Well, then, nesi'á tová*" Tony just wanted to stop her from going, he wanted just to sit her down and tell her his feelings for her but he couldn't, her heart was with someone else and she was about to go fly to see him, first class. His heart ached every time he saw her leave the building to go home. He wished he was the one going home with her every night.

"See you next week"

Tony just watched her walk away, why dint he stop her, he could have just stopped her. He heard the elevator ping and watched her walk into it.

"Yeah"

That was only one of the moments that flashed back in his mind. He had so many opportunities but he did seize the moment.

"You can go in and see her if you want?"

Tony snapped out of these memories and stood up. He gave a little nod to the nurse and followed her though the double doors. It was the longest walk he had ever taken, once he came to Ziva's room he looked though the glass to catch a glimpse of the women he loved very much. His heart broke as her saw he laying in the hospital bed.
