Gibbs was staring at them. As a matter of fact that was all Gibbs had been doing for the pass…Tony checked his watch…forty seven minutes.

Right as Tony was about to break the silence they had been sitting in since Gibbs call to Abby there was movement beside him and Ziva stood and started for the door.

"Where the hell do you thing you're going David?" Gibbs asked, bitterness radiating from his voice.

Ziva ignored him and continued to the door.

Gibbs grabbed her arm roughly and before Tony knew what was happening Gibbs went crashing to the ground hard and Ziva was kneeling on his throat.

Tony never thought that anyone could over power his ex-marine boss much less a very dainty looking woman of only five feet seven inches.

Ziva practically snarled at Gibbs, "Do not try that again," she said, "and if you must know I was going to the bathroom." With that she was out the door.

Gibbs slowly rose rubbing his throat and directing his glare at Tony. "Nice girlfriend you got there DiNozzo," he said harshly.

Tony didn't know how to respond to that. He thought that Gibbs was being a real dick but he knew it couldn't possibly end well for him if he pointed that out to his boss.

Luckily he was saved from replying by the phone ringing. He answered and then quickly patched Abby though for video conference on his laptop.

"Oh God, oh God!" Abby said as soon as she was on screen. "Gibbs you are not going to like this."

"What is it Abs?" Gibbs asked sounding a bit hoarse from his encounter with Ziva's knee.

"You are not going to like this Gibbs. Wait why do you sound funny?" Abby said sounding agitated.

"It's nothing Abs. Just give me what you found." Gibbs told her.

"The thing is I couldn't find anything," she told them.

Ziva walked back into the room them and seeing her Abby started to yell at her.

"It's all your fault!" she yelled at Ziva, "Where is Kate and McGee? I know you know where they are. You probably planned this all along with that monster Ari and that other guy."

Tony could see that Ziva was getting angrier by the second, "Abby stop!" he shouted over her ranting, "you need to calm down. This is not Ziva's fault."

He looked over at Ziva and saw that she visibly calmed down at his words.

"I just got contact from Mossad," Ziva said deciding to ignore Abby after all she was just upset, "we have video conference with the Deputy Director in five minutes." she said starting to set it up on the main computer.

"Keep looking Abs," Gibbs told Abby, "we are going to see what Mossad has to say and we'll check in with you later."

Abby nodded Tony saw her throw a resentful glare in Ziva's direction before cutting the video feed.

McGee hadn't heard any sound coming from the direction Kate was in for at least the last twenty minutes. He was starting to worry about her.

Radwan had entered the room to give them water and had smacked her fairly hard in the head for antagonizing him. McGee hoped she didn't have a concussion and had fallen a sleep.

McGee was squinting, trying to make out Kate's form better in the darkness when his attention was drawn to the door.

Ari and Radwan were arguing outside of the door in what sounded to McGee like Arabic. He couldn't understand, because well he could speak Arabic.

Suddenly Ari got very angry and he slammed something against the door.

"I do not know why you worry Radwan," McGee could hear him say in English, "Ziva is with the Americans, we have nothing to worry about."

McGee listened as they walked away from the door and a sense of panic over took him. Oh God, he thought, Ziva is one of them. He knew Kate for one would not like that, after all she didn't even like Ziva.

McGee heard Kate stirred. He had to tell her what he just over heard.
