Thank guys! I'm doing a lot better now thanks! Here's the next chapter for you guys.
It was then she realised that she was not alone.
"Tony?" She asked.
"Guess again." A high voice said threateningly.
.........................................................................................................................................
"Who's there?" Ziva asked calmly. She'd been snuck up on before, but never in the shower. That was taking it too far.
"You know who I am!" The voice shouted. It sounded odd because it was so high. "I have been there for you, and all I wanted was some trust in return. But you couldn't give that to me could you, Miss David." The voice sneered.
"Jane? What are you talking about?" Ziva reached round and grabbed her towel and slowly stepped put of the shower. She was met by a woman with brown hair and a gun in pointing in her direction.
"Get dressed." Jane snapped. "I've been watching you. Watching your every move, and I found your secret. You are not Ziva Meir. You are Ziva David. You lied to me and now you and your team will suffer."
"Jane, the house is bugged. They will have seen you break in and they'll be here soon." They'll find you." Ziva held her head high as she dressed. She was not going to let Jane see that she was scared. Terrified even.
"I'm counting on it." She grabbed Ziva's hair and pulled her out of the bathroom.
"Don't bother fighting me. I know where-Tony is it? - lives. So don't push your luck." Jane snarled.
"Tony." Ziva gasped. She immediately stopped struggling. Tony's life was worth ten times the amount of hers and she couldn't imagine a world with out Tony.
"Good girl. You see, I know all about you falling for your partner. Not very good." Jane laughed as though they were having a normal conversation. Ziva closed her eyes and let herself be pulled by Jane's strong grip.
.........................................................................................................................................
"What McGee!" Tony panicked. He was already on his way back to the apartment when McGee phoned him, telling that something had happened with Ziva.
"I... I don't know Tony. All I saw was a woman pick the lock on the flat, and leave, dragging Ziva by her hair. I phoned you straight away. The woman had long brown hair and I think it might be Jane, Tony."
"No!" He yelled. "Where did she take her?"
"I don't know Tony. I have a BOLO out on the car, but I don't think it'll help. Gibbs is on his way to the apartment though. He said to meet him there."
"Like hell, I'm waiting for Gibbs. Tell him I've gone to Jane's house. I'm not letting her die."
"Tony!" McGee called as the phone line went dead. "Dammit!" He yelled as he through his phone on the floor. "Cynthia, tell the director everything." He shouted as he stormed out.
"Where are you going?" She called from MTAC.
"To help." He muttered.
.........................................................................................................................................
Tony slammed his head on the steering wheel and shouted out. He buried his head in his hands and cried out in a broken sob.
"Ziva!" He got his phone from his pocket and dialled her number. When it rang onto voicemail, he cried in frustration. He threw his phone out of the window and started the car again and drove as fast as her could to Jane's house.
"I will not let you die Ziva!" He muttered as he put his foot down.
He pulled up outside a large house that looked as though it was about 100 years old. There was a wall outside that was about a foot high, and a flower bed. The door was painted pink and had a brass knocker on the front. Tony didn't bother with knocking and kicked the door down in 2 swift kicks. He pulled his gun out when he heard a scream.
"Get out of my house!" There was a girl standing at the bottom of the stairs. Even though she was only about 17, Tony noticed that she was stunningly beautiful, but it was a natural beauty. She had long, brown, curly hair to just below her shoulders. Her eyes were the most vivid blue he had ever seen and they looked like the Mediterranean ocean. She was pale, but not too pale, and her cheeks were rosy.
"Well? Do you intend to stand there all day with your mouth open? Get out of my house!" She shouted. She put her arm out and pointed to the door.
"Who the hell are you?" Tony spluttered. "Where's Jane?" He demanded.
"I'm Cassie, Jane's sister. Is everything Ok?" Cassie's expression automatically changed as her emotion went from anger to fear.
"No! It is not! She has my partner! She is a murderer and I need to find her fast!" He grabbed Cassie's arm and pulled her so they were sitting on the sofa. The colour drained from Cassie's face and she laughed nervously.
"You have made a mistake. Not Jane."
"Look Cassie, I don't have time for this. You have to tell me, where would she go? Please?" Tony begged.
"I know her she wouldn't!" Cassie yelled as she stood up.
"If she's innocent I will apologise and buy a new door and everything, but right now, she has my partner. Cassie, I know that you know where she is. Please tell me." Tony put his hand on her shoulder and stared into her impossibly beautiful eyes.
"I... I'm not promising everything, but she may have gone down to the old docks about 5 miles from here. Our Dad used to work there and well... ever since he died, she likes to go down there to think." She bit her lip and ran her fingers through her hair. "But I'm telling you, she didn't do this."
"Yeah I know the place." In fact, it was the very place where Tony had had to dive in the freezing water to save Gibbs and Maddie "Thank you Cassie." Tony said as he rushed out of the room.
"Wait!" She called. She grabbed her coat and threw it around her. "I'm coming as well. If she is in trouble, she'll need me." The girl was so adamant that Tony couldn't deny her it. He sighed and opened the car door for her. He pushed the car to its limits and he sped down the road.
Cassie was sitting there biting the skin around her thumb and Tony noticed her hand was shaking. She gazed out of the window and Tony wondered what was causing the mystified look in her eyes.
.........................................................................................................................................
"Looks like they won't find you after all Ziva." Jane muttered as she circled her. Ziva was reminded of how a shark circles its prey before it kills. "Never mind though. I'll leave them your body."
"Jane. Please, don't do this." Ziva was standing in the middle of what looked like an old warehouse. Out of the large doors at the back she could see water, and she recognised the place from when Tony had saved Gibbs. She had only been there about an hour whilst she processed the scene, but it was now embedded into her mind as she tried to forget the fact that she was about to die in Tony's place.
"Why not? You lied to me! Betrayed me! I trusted you and all the time you were pretending to be someone else! I loved you Ziva! But all you cared about was your Tony! I'm important too!" She cried.
"Of course you are Jane. Why did you kill all those other women?" Ziva tried to distract her until her attention was elsewhere and Ziva could get the gun, but Jane knew what she was doing and didn't take her eye of Ziva the entire time.
"When I was 25, my dad shot himself here. He worked here you know and he couldn't take life anymore. He felt it was just one struggle after another. I hated him for doing that, but after my fiancé left me at the altar, can see why he did it. I became depressed and I contemplated suicide several times. But then it hit me. I wouldn't end my life, but others' lives. Happy people. There was no reason for them to be happy; I wasn't. I went after women who were in love with Navy personnel, after all that's what Nick was. A Petty Officer. He always looked so handsome in his uniform, but the bastard had to go and leave me!" She screeched.
"Jane please. If you kill me, you will be going to prison for the murder of people, one being a federal officer. You will get the death penalty for it."
"I hope so" Jane murmured. "I hope so."
Just then, a car squealed into the warehouse. Jane jumped, but didn't take her eyes from Ziva. It was as if she was expecting it.
"Ziva!" Tony cried out. "Jane, you don't want to do this." He climbed slowly out of the car, showing Jane that he had no weapons in his hands.
"Don't come any closer!" Jane shouted. Her hands were shaking and she had tears falling down her face. "Don't think I won't shoot her! I will!"
"Ok Jane, let's all clam down. No one is here to judge you, just put the gun down. Gently now."Jane took no notice and turned to Ziva again. Cassie walked carefully out of the car and looked at Jane.
"Please Jane, you are all I have. Don't do this." Cassie sobbed.
"Cassie? What are you doing here? Why did you bring her? You bastard!" Jane screamed. "Leave her out of this!"
"Jane, I made him bring me. Please put the gun down. Please." Cassie held her arms out in front of her and walked around the car carefully so she was standing next to Tony. Meanwhile, Tony had got his gun out and was pointing it at Jane whilst she had been distracted.
"Jane, I don't want to have to shoot you. Come on now."
"Stop saying my name!"
Everything happened so fast after that. Or slowly. Cassie couldn't tell. All she knew was that Jane fired her gun three times before Tony responded and shoot her four times. Jane carried on shooting until she was on the floor, with blood pouring from her head.
Tony smiled in relief at Ziva and she smiled back. Ziva then crumpled to the floor delicately and it was then that Cassie noticed the blood seeping through her shirt. Tony cried out and ran to her and cradled her head in his lap.
"Don't die Ziva, come on, don't die." He repeated it like a mantra in time as he rocked her back and forth, with tears falling out of his eyes and down his cheeks.
"Don't die Ziva, come on, don't die."
OK! I'm pretty impressed with that chapter! What do we think? Come on! Review! I might write the next chapter this weekend, but I dunno yet, see what I've got planned!
