The camera was turned off at the moment and Tony wondered what the hell he was going to be using it for. He sighed and swore at himself, murmuring, "He's going to send a video of everything to Gibbs...Geez..." He looked up at the ceiling and shut his eyes, trying to ignore his burning, aching legs. "Dammit, he hit me hard...McGoo..." Tony trailed off as he opened his eyes and looked at the camera. "Oh...Please tell me he's okay. Yeah...Yeah, he's gotta be okay. I mean, Gibbs was there. Right? I'm almost positive Gibbs was there." He sighed angrily and muttered, "Great. Now I'm talking to myself..."
Tony looked back up at the ceiling as he felt blood dripping down his cheek, down his neck, and soaking his shirt collar. He hated feeling...Well, wet. He hated it when his clothes stuck to his body and knowing that it was blood sticking to his shirt, didn't help things. He looked back at the camera and heard the heavy, bolted door to his right open. Tony smiled and looked at the door at Carmen. "Oh hey. You know, I was beginning to think you weren't coming back. But then I remembered that, unfortunately, I never get off that easily. Well, except for that one time when I was ki--!"
He was cut off when Carmen's face impacted with his face, his nose breaking. Tony winced and shut his eyes at the pain, feeling blood pool from his nose. He opened his eyes again and looked at Carmen, growling, "Thanks..." Carmen smiled and walked over to the videocamera. He turned it on and walked back over to Tony, drawing a blade and looking Tony over. "Huh...Your head's bleeding pretty badly. That's not gonna be very good when we move onto the final act, Mr. DiNozzo."
Tony glared at Carmen and snapped, "I am NOT Mr. DiNozzo. That's my...Father." He trailed off, thinking about it for a minute before Carmen nodded. "I see. Bad relationships. I understand." Carmen smiled with malice as he raised his right hand. Tony flinched slightly and stared at Carmen, not wanting to look at the camera incase Abby was watching. Then again, maybe if he looked at the camera, Gibbs could tell if something was seriously wrong. Well, why worry him?
At least, that's what Tony was thinking just as the blade made contanct with his shoulder, Tony shouted in pain, but quickly shut his mouth. He did not need Carmen getting pleasure out of all of this. He simply wanted to get out of this alive and in order to do that, he needed to be calm and cool, even if he was honestly scared to death.
Carmen laughed softly as he removed the blade, watching Tony bite on his lower lip to keep from whimpering. He placed the blade on the table and slammed the back of Tony's chair into the wall. Tony winced at the pain that vibrated through his body and he looked up at Carmen with a sneer. Carmen winked at him and before Tony could spout something, he slammed his foot into Tony's legs. Tony shouted in pain, cringing and whimpering slightly. He had tried to bite back the noises, but his legs were definately messed up more than Tony thought they were. Tony glared at Carmen and Carmen smiled, untying Tony's hands. Tony blinked and stared at Carmen, too shocked to do much of anything. Carmen leaned down by Tony's ear and whispered ,"You have an hour to get out of this building. You understand me? It has been an hour now and your teams only have two hours left."
Tony felt his eyes widen slightly in fear and before he knew it, Carmen slammed the end of the knife into Tony's temple, knocking Tony out cold.
BACK AT THE NCIS BUILDING
Gibbs growled angrily, trying to focus on the recent case. Maybe it tied into Carmen? Maybe not...Maybe this was all coincendence? No...No, no. This was not a coincedence because of three reasons. 1) Carmen had kidnapped Tony. 2) Carmen was already set on revenge against Tony. And 3) McGee had been shot by none other than a silencer.
The silencer explained when no one heard a gunshot or any kinds of noises. So, the question now was why? Why did Carmen kill those women? Wasn't he after Tony?
"Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs!" Abby's voice exclaimed out of nowhere. Gibbs tore his eyes away from the TV screen as he asked sharply, "What, Abby?!" Abby handed him a piece of paper and said quickly, "Okay, well Ziva found fingerprints at every scene of the crime except for the recent one. But you'll never believe who's fingerprints they are!"
"Carmen's?"
Abby sighed slightly, but replied, "Yeah! She even found his fingerprints on the closet where the other girl was found...The uhm...Second victim." Gibbs nodded and asked, "But why?"
"Because his sister looked almost identical to these girls." Came Ziva's voice. Ziva rushed over to Gibbs and handed him three pictures of the victims. She then handed him two more and said softly, "The first victim had blonde hair. Well, when Carmen's sister was young, she also had blonde hair. However, the more she grew, the more she dyed it. The second victim had brunette hair, as did Carmen's sister all the way up until she died..." Ziva trailed off as she finished, "And I believe that the redhead was killed because Tony shot her, and her hair was drenched in blood afterwards." Gibbs nodded and sighed heavily. "So why kill them?"
Ziva opened up her cellphone and showed him the screen. "Because he believed that no one could, and I quote 'have the same beauty his sister did'." Gibbs swore and snapped, "Abby, trace that text, NOW!" Abby shook her head and said sadly, "Gibbs...I can't...I-I'm sorry. It's a track phone. He probably dumped it by now."
"Then track DiNozzos!"
"It's turned off..." Abby felt tears filling her eyes as she stared at Gibbs. Gibbs growled angrily and heard a voice say, "We can take one of those cases of your hands, Jethro." Gibbs looked at the elevator and saw none other than Agent Fornell walking towards him. Gibbs looked at Abby and Ziva saying, "Get all the evidence from this case and anything else we found. We need to find DiNozzo and he is NOT bound to this case. LET'S GO!" Ziva and Abby quickly rushed off before Fornell walked over to Gibbs. He handed him a package and looked Gibbs in the eyes. "It's for you. I went to your place, hoping you were home, but why would you be there? You're never home. I spotted it in front of the door." Gibbs nodded and sighed angrily, rushing down to Abby's lab as Fornell waited in the bullpen for the evidence.
BACK WITH TONY...
Tony breathed heavily, his eyes flickering open and looking around the dim room. He groaned in pain, feeling his head throb and his legs still burning. He sat up, looking around some more and finally realizing that he had passed out! He only had...Well, who knew how long he had now! Tony quickly stood up, ignoring his body's screaming protest and stared at the open door. He swallowed, rushing towards the door and out, down the hallway. He turned to his left and continued walking, his shoes the only sound echoing off the walls. Tony swallowed and continued rushing, when he suddenly heard barking.
Tony jumped slightly and stopped moving, hearing the barking, the constant growling, getting closer. He quickly began to move faster, but suddenly fell onto his face when his legs gave in. He grimaced and looked up, seeing a door and hearing the dogs behind him getting closer. Tony whimpered softly as he dragged himself over to the door. He bit his lower lip as he moved, trying not to make anymore noise than he had to.
Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes widening slightly. Glass lay shattered on the ground, twinkling and dangerous. Tony felt tears of frusturation rushing to his eyes as he sighed heavily. He swallowed and began dragging himself once more, over the glass. He winced, biting on his lip harder, as he tried not to make any noise. Tony looked up at the door, pulling himself a bit faster and heard the dogs much closer than before. He looked back and saw three, huge dogs standing at the end of the hallway with bared teeth. Tony quickly dragged himself over to the door and heard the dog's feet pounding on the ground. He picked himself up, almost collapsing again, and rushed as quickly as he could into the room, slamming the door. Tony panted heavily, sitting down against the door and looking around, feeling tears fall down his cheeks.
He looked down at his legs and swallowed hard, clenching his teeth together. He murmured to himself softly, "Come on Anthony...M-Move..." Tony stood up once more, whimpering at the pain it caused him and began moving through the room, making his way to a door and opening it. He stared down the dark hallway and then back at the room behind him before beginning to walk. It was so dark that it scared Tony. He couldn't tell if someone was behind him or in front of him. He couldn't even tell what he was feeling anymore. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was pain. His gut was telling him something or someone was watching him, which scared him even more.
Tony swallowed and moved faster. Suddenly, the ground disappeared from under his feet and he tumbled to the ground. When he hit the floor, he wheezed in pain, coughing harshly and dropped onto his face. He panted heavily, staring back up what he could now see as stairs. He looked ahead of him and saw the sunlight coming in through a door. Tony swallowed hard and dragged himself over to the door. As he did so, he could feel glass cutting his hand as he moved. He heard something blowing to the right of him and he felt sick to his stomach. Tony continued to drag his weak, tired body to the door and in an instant, he heard something hit his right shoulder where Carmen had stabbed him. He cringed and fell onto his face, feeling even more sick and tired. He looked at his shoulder and saw a tranquilizer dart in his shoulder. Tony began to shut his eyes as he muttered angrily, "No...fair...You...bastard...
BACK AT NCIS...
Gibbs swore as he watched the screen go black. He had seen everything, watched Tony try to run from the dogs, watched as his senior field agent tumbled down stairs, dragged himself through more glass, and then finally passed out. Gibbs knew Tony had a strong will and knew that it would have to take a lot to take down his best agent. However, the damage already done to his body was already taking its toll on Tony and the glass, plus forcing his bloody body to move, had been far too much. Gibbs didn't even think he could've made it as far as Tony did. Not ever getting struck by a car and stabbed the way he was, punched the way he was.
Abby had already begun sobbing as Ziva held her softly. Ziva wiped her eyes softly and Gibbs looked at them, saying, "He's not dead yet! Abby, find Tony! Ziva, see if McGee's out of surgery yet! If he is, ask him if he got a license plate number!" Ziva pulled away from Abby and looked her in the eyes. "We will find him, Abby." Abby nodded, wiping her eyes off and smearing her black eyeliner. Ziva rushed off and Gibbs walked over to Abby, watching her fingers tremble as they hung over the keys of her keyboard. Gibbs sighed softly and hugged Abby, kissing her forehead. "He'll be alright, Abby...I promise." However, as he spoke his words, Gibbs was begining to doubt himself.
