A/N: Wow so I had no idea Somalia was a country! But thank you TimeWitch16 for clearing that up. My Ancient Civilizations/ Latin American studies teacher would be head slapping me right now if she knew I had called it a city. Oh and I hope I don't confuse yall when I mix up my words. I write really late at night so I don't catch them sometimes. Anyway enjoy!
Chapter 7- Let's Go
-Elevator-
Gibbs, McGee, and Tony were coming up from Abby's lab. Gibbs had just told Abby that he, DiNozzo, and Matthews were going to Africa to rescue Ziva. McGee was outraged that he did not get to go.
"Boss it's not fair that she has only been here thirty six hours and she gets to go to Africa! I have been here for years now and I have never even left the country!" McGee whined.
"I don't understand why she is coming. We don't even know if she can shoot a gun. She is just going to get in the way of everything." Tony said, angrily.
They both were talking at the same time. Gibbs got angry really quick.
"Both of you shut up!" He yelled in his scary, I could kill you right now voice.
Tim and Tony were both stunned. Gibbs shook his head and hit the emergency stop button.
"Look I don't like this any more than you two do, okay? Tim I understand you are mad but even if Agent Matthews wasn't coming, you would stay here because I need you to monitor the camp."
McGee just crossed his arms.
"DiNozzo, I understand the huge liability she is, but this was Vance's one condition on our all expenses paid trip to Xudun. Who knows maybe she'll get shot and she won't have to come back with us." Gibbs was joking about the last part. Life was not something to be playing with especially now.
"Xudun? I thought you said we were going to Somalia?" DiNozzo asked.
"Xudun is the city Tony. Somalia is the country." McGee answered, shaking his head
"Oh."
"Anyway, we need to focus on who this is really for, Ziva." Gibbs said, losing Tony to a flashback.
Tony's Flashback:
"Are you finished?" She asked him.
"Stay with me DiNozzo."
"Right. Sorry Boss. For her." Tony said.
"Right." McGee agreed.
"Now both of you go home and get some sleep." Gibbs said, hitting the emergency stop button again.
-Tony's apartment-
Tony tossed and turned al night. He couldn't get the idea of Ziva being held captive out of his head. He kept having flashbacks of her.
-The Plane Ride-
Gibbs sat by himself on one side of the almost empty C130. Tony was annoyed that Jessica was sitting next to him. He didn't want her there. He knew she was just going to cause trouble.
"So tell me about this former agent we are going to save." Jessica asked Tony, quietly.
"You don't need to know anything about her." Tony said rather rudely. He was back to hating her and she could sense it.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing. I just don't want to talk."
"It's more than that. I can see it."
"You should get your eyes checked then."
"What happened to sweet and caring Tony that was here yesterday and how can I get him back?"
"Get away from me Agent Matthews, and stop calling me Tony. It's Agent DiNozzo to you."
"Wow for someone I thought of as a possible friend, you sure are being an ass." Jessica raised her voice and got up to go sit with Gibbs. She sat down, crossed her arms, and started giving Tony dirty looks.
"Nice to see you two getting along." Gibbs said with a smirk.
"Ha-ha." Agent Mathews replied, sarcastically. She turned her back to Gibbs and attempted to get some sleep. It was going to be a long plane ride.
-Labby-
McGee just sat there staring at the satellite footage of the camp. No one was moving. There was no commotion what so ever. He wanted to shoot himself.
Abby stared at him staring at the computer screen. She knew how mad he was, but she wasn't sure how to cheer him up.
"This is so not fair! I should be on that plane! Not Special Agent Jessica I-only-wear-heels Matthews!" McGee finally cried out.
"I wouldn't want you going over there anyway, Timmy. I want you here, safe, with me." Abby said walking over to him and stroking his arm. McGee looked at her genuine face full of concern.
"You know it's going to be several hours before they get to Somalia." McGee added with a huge grin.
"Uh-huh." Abby answered, smiling back at him.
"You still got that futon mattress back there?"
Abby pulled McGee up to his feet and kissed him deeply. They slowly made their way to the futon mattress.
-Back in the Plane-
Tony's flashback:
"There is only one thing I am interested in right now." She said.
"Realistic huh? In that case… I prefer it on top."
"DiNozzo! Wake up! We're landing!" Gibbs yelled in Tony's ear.
Tony shot up with a huge smile on his face.
"Good dream Agent DiNozzo?" Jessica asked with a smirk.
"Maybe." Tony said dropping his smile.
-Somalia-
Gibbs, Tony, and Jessica were driving down a dirt road in an old Jeep, looking for their hotel.
"God this looks like a ghost town boss. What time is it here any way?" Tony asked.
"Well let's see we left at 0600. It is a fifteen hour plane ride. Somalia is seven hours ahead of us. So that would put us at 0600." Jessica answered in a perky yet rude tone.
"You did your homework." Gibbs said, smiling at her in the rearview.
"I like to be prepared."
"I like to be prepared." Tony said, mimicking her. Jessica stuck her tongue out at him.
"Okay kids time to grow up. We're here." Gibbs said.
"Matthews check us in. DiNozzo get the bags. I am going to call McGee and Vance." Gibbs instructed.
-Inside the Hotel-
The rooms were tiny and smelled bad. There was no air conditioner and the water came out brown.
"Reminds me of when I went to Baghdad with Jardin and Ziva got jealous because we were sharing a room." Tony commented.
Tony's Flashback:
"They are sharing a room?" She asked Abby.
Just then Agent Matthews walked into their room.
"What's the plan?" She asked Gibbs.
"Well from what I can tell from the Satellite photos there have only been two new recruits since the attack. Mossad probably scared everyone off. As we can tell from the pictures this was definitely an old military building. There is a seven foot high metal fence with barbed wire at the top surrounding the place. Two guards at the gate and then two on each side through out the rest of the front fence. Now I will take out all of the people out in the open, but you two are going to have to search the place until you find her. You shoot to kill. Get in, get her, and get out. Don't die either. Got it?"
"Yes boss."
"Yes sir."
"Okay we attack at 0400 tomorrow morning. Now let's eat, shower, and get some rest."
So I know this chapter is short, but it's 12:58 a.m. and I am exhausted from stripping wall paper off my walls. Funny thing is: I am doing more stripping and beginning to paint my room tomorrow. Well today since it's 1 a.m. I feel bad so I might spoil yall with either one super long chapter or two semi long chapters today. I split this chapter up so I am not technically happy with it, so I won't be sad if I don't get reviews, but they would make me really happy :).
