Loved some of your ideas you sent me through reviews. Special thanks to Meatball42 whose thoughts lead me to some new ideas, more exciting then I'd originally thought up. All your reviews inspire me to keep writing....
Oh and for those who don't remember, Jeannes father tells Ducky that he has more children then just Jeanne. I'm sure you all remember, but thought I better let you know I haven't pulled that from nowhere.
Chapter 22
"There's someone who wants to meet you." Jeanne Said to Ziva as she continued to ready her to leave the apartment.
"Please Jeanne, I'm begging you, the babies."
"I don't care. Your husband seems to be closing in on my brother and I won't loose another family member to him."
"Where are you taking me?"
"To him. He has big plans for you."
"Don't make this worse for yourself. They know that you're behind this, if you abduct me there's no going back."
"Like you said, they know I'm involved, I've got nothing to loose now."
"You could do a deal. Tony will help you. Or if you don't trust him, Gibbs. He'll do the right thing by you, just don't hurt my babies."
"and what am I going to trade for my freedom? My brothers? Then we're right back at square one, and I loose my brother. No. You're coming with me." Jeanne grabbed Ziva's arm and began to drag her out of the apartment.

Tony stood at the threshold of his apartment, the door was slightly ajar. His gun was drawn as he cautiously nudged the door open a little. He slid his gun through the opening and then followed it into the apartment. He checked the hall closest, and his living room and kitchen, there was no sign of anyone. He made his way down the hall, hoping that his wife would still be lying there, he wouldn't care what movie she was corrupting his children with. He'd just be grateful that she was there, and safe. Step by step, he moved down the checking behind every door or as he past. He turned the corner into the master bedroom, seeing that Ziva was no longer in their bed caused him pain, he quickly checked the ensuite and upon realising he was alone he checked the room for anything that might give him even the smallest clue as to where Ziva was. He paced the room, back and fourth trying to ascertain where his pregnant wife could be, he'd give anything to have her safe at home, with Nougat still nestled safely in her warm tummy. He paced to the door and furiously slammed him hand against the hard wood work, screaming to try and vent his anger and loss for words.
"DiNozzo" Gibbs called from the entrance of his apartment.
"Yeah Boss, I'm in here." Gibbs and Fornell made their way deeper into his home
"She's missing boss." Tony said as he now sat on the end of his bed rubbing his now incredibly sore hand. "She's not here."
"We're going to find her DiNozzo. You know we are. Ziva and the baby are both going to be alright."
"You don't know that Boss."
"Sure I do, and so do you" He moved slightly away and opened his cell and dialled a number. "McGee, Ziva's missing. Start putting a trace on her, what ever you need to do."

Jeanne slammed on the breaks. She undid her seat belt then ran around the car to the other side to do the same to Ziva. Wrenching her out of the car, she pulled her into an airplane hanger and into a side room. "Jullien? Jullien?" She yelled, obviously trying to ascertain if her brother was nearby. "Where the hell is he?" She pulled out her phone and dialled. "Jullien, where are you? you told me to meet you here… Well how soon is soon…" She moved away from Ziva and started to talk in a hushed tone, obviously furious at him, she stood in the doorway only occasionally glancing at Ziva to see if she was listening. She was anxious, never having been involved in such criminal activity before. Ziva watched her closely, she held onto her belly protectively. Without taking her eyes of her capturer she carefully pulled her cell out of her jacket pocket. She didn't need to look at it to be able to call Tony. She pressed the required buttons and left her phone where it was. She watched as Jeanne became more and more agitated as she wrestled not only her brother over the phone but her conscience. She wasn't very good at this, she hadn't even tied Ziva up or anything. Jeanne looked at Ziva, and walked out of the room. Ziva could hear her heated conversation so she knew Jeanne was never very far away.

Tony's phone began to ring. He quickly pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the caller ID. "It's Ziva's cell." He flicked the phone open. "Ziva? Ziva? where are you?" He waited for her response but she didn't reply.
Gibbs having heard this continued instruction McGee as to what to do to try to find his Liason Officer.
Tony was concerned that she wasn't speaking, but a little relieved that she'd made some attempt at contact. He'd feel better when he knew how she was, and if their precious Nougat was alright. It was like a shock of lightning ripped through his system when he finally heard her sweet voice whispering to him "Tony, I am at a small airport, in a hanger, the number on the outside said 9. There is a jet that looks like the one we saw in Canada." Tony didn't hesitate to start moving down to his car at this point, with Gibbs and Fornell rushing behind him.
"Ziva, are you alright? Is the baby…" He couldn't finish that thought, he didn't want to. He couldn't bear to loose their child now.
"We are fine for now. It is Jeanne, her brother is behind all of this." In her need to fill Tony in on as many details as she could she hadn't heard a car pull up and the shouting that had been so one sided now had an additional voice. "He is here Tony. I do not know what they are planning."
"Ziva which airport?" he waited only a second, desperate for her answer so he could come in and rescue her. Instead, the voice he heard was not Ziva's. It was a man with a French accent.
"What are you doing?" He bellowed loud enough thatTony could hear. "Jeanne you left her like this? You imbecile." Tony hear a loud slap, followed by Jeanne's unmistakable scream. "Who is this?" He yelled again.
"Ziva?" Tony called in a last ditch effort to keep his wife talking, to try and make sure she was alright, the longer he would be able to hear her voice, the longer he'd know what was going on and have some idea as to how she would be being treated.
"Good work McGee, we'll meet you there." Gibbs said, slamming his phone shut. "I know where she is."

Ziva looked at Jeanne now lying on the floor, blood forming a stream down from her mouth to her chin. She glanced at the man who was now forcing her to walk backwards. She dropped the phone, and the man who she assumed was the elusive Jullien Benoit, trod on it crushing her cell to pieces.
"My sister is a little naïve when it comes to these types of dealings. I apologise for that."
"So you hit her? She is your sister."
"Yes, and just like any employee, she needs to learn... You must be Ziva David. You have helped us out quite considerably. I would like to thank you for that."
"MRS David-DiNozzo"
"Arh yes, you married my sisters…. Well you married Anthony DiNozzo, or as we knew him, Anothony DiNardo."
"And you are the new La Grenouille?"
"Oui, I had been working under my fathers wing for years. I told the old man that he was… headed in the wrong direction" He said as if there was a hint of a private joke behind what he said. "Now, be a good girl and tell me who you were talking to."
"DiNozzo." Their heads both turned, reacting to hearing Jeanne's voice.
"Arh, but of course she was. That is true isn't it my dear?" he asked Ziva.
"Yes, and I would do it again happily."
"and I am sure he is on his way here now." With one quick movement he slapped Ziva across the face and she fell to the ground clutching her belly.
