A/N: So I was thinking last night before falling asleep that all of the great Tiva moments seem to happen in the eighth episode in the season. The kiss/ fake sex. The 'soul mates talk'. The 'I'm tired of pretending' talk. So I am now happy that I split the last chapter and my eighth chapter is Tony saving Ziva. Enjoy!
Chapter 8- Save Me
-The camp-
'They haven't been here in two days. I wonder what is going on.' Ziva thought. She had caught up on sleeping and dreaming the past two days. All of her dreams had been flashbacks, her and Michael having sex, the plane ride to Tel Aviv, and her and Tony's last fight.
'I could kill him.' She thought when she thought of him.
"Hello Officer David." Her torturers voice came from the now open door.
"You know why I have left you alone for two days?" He asked her.
"It is because when I saw you flinch, I knew you needed some time to heal. I mean all these blows to your body and face must be taking their toll. Then as I was lying in bed last night I remembered that I hadn't come to give you your 'daily reminder'."
He took out his knife and untied her dislocated arm. Then he yanked it to him. Her face contorted with pain.
"Now there is one for the day before yesterday, one for yesterday, and one for today." He said with a smile. Each cut he made was deeper than the one before. He dropped her arm back down and tied it back up. Blood flooded the rope.
"Now Officer David tell me what you know about NCIS." He asked somewhat nicely.
She just sat there, silent.
"Tell me!" He yelled in her ear, and then he kicked her chair. She fell onto her good side. The side they had barely touched. When she felt her ribs hit the ground though, she passed out from the pain.
He just looked at her and then turned around and walked out. She lay there, motionless.
-Tony and Gibbs' room-
It was so hot that Tony could barely sleep even though he was only in his boxers. He tossed and turned while his dreams were filled with flashbacks.
Tony's flashback:
"I had no choice."
"That is a lie." She replied.
"Why would I lie to you Ziva?"
"To save your worthless ass."
"From who Vance? Mossad?"
"You jeopardized your entire career and for what?"
"For you."
"DiNozzo, wake up. We have to get ready." Jessica said scratching his stomach.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked, sitting up quickly.
"Gibbs told me to wake you up." She got up from the bed and went back to her room.
Jessica stood in front of the broken mirror. She could only see from her waist up and all she had on from waist up was a bra. She stared at herself, but she couldn't seem to register the image in her head.
Jessica's Flashback:
"What about Jessica?" Gibbs asked her father.
"She is strong. She'll get through this."
"Time to be strong, Jess." She said to herself. She pulled her hair up into a ponytail and put on the only non-heeled shoes she could find in her closet full of stilettos and pumps.
Then she grabbed her bullet proof vest and turned back to the mirror. Just as he pulled it over her head, Gibbs walked in.
"Let me help you with that." He told her, but she didn't see him. She saw her father. He fastened the Velcro straps and each side.
"You ready?" He/ her father asked her.
"Yes sir." She said grabbing her belt with her gun and fastening over her pants.
They all met at the Jeep twenty minutes later.
"Map?" Gibbs asked.
"Check." Tony called from the back of the Jeep.
"Satellite phone?"
"Check."
"Sniper riffle?"
"In the passenger seat boss."
"All right let's roll." Gibbs commanded.
-The attack-
As they approached the camp Gibbs started reminding them what to do.
"When I shoot all the guards on the front fence, it will send more out. Shoot them if you have to, but if you can leave them to me. Save your ammunition for when you get inside. When you get in, get her, get out. Don't either of you even think about coming out of that place in a body bag."
Tony and Jessica nodded. They were about a quarter mile away from the camp. Gibbs stopped and parked.
"When I say go, you run."
Tony and Jessica prepared themselves as Gibbs set up his riffle.
He shot the first guard ad yelled "GO!"
Tony and Jessica took off with amazing speed, but Gibbs was even more amazing. By the time they had reached the gate he had taken out all of he people outside and no one else had come out. Tony opened the front gate and ran for the front door which was surprisingly open. When they came inside there was a huge brick wall which had a doorway on each side. Tony pointed to Jessica to take the left and he would take the right. When they both walked through their door, they stared at a twenty foot hall way with four open doors on each side of the hall way. In the middle there was a door to go outside, and at the end there was another hall way running horizontally.
Jessica cleared the first two rooms quickly because there was no one in them. When she came to the third door there was a man asleep. She shot him in the back of the head. The next three rooms were empty.
'They probably all ran outside.' She thought. Just then she heard footsteps from the back hallway. Out walked a large man and he had his gun ready and fired three rounds at her. She dove into a room and then peeked out to find him gaining quickly. She shot him in each knee and then one in the heart. He fell over. She got up and cleared the last two rooms. She sat down in a chair in the last room and put her hands on her forehead. Not a good idea.
Tony had much more people to kill than Jessica. Every room he went in had one to three people in it. He moved a lot quicker than Jessica too, but he was focused. He also had more to loose. He had cleared the second to the last room when a young boy of about fourteen ran out of the back hallway. Tony grabbed him by his shirt and held him up.
"Where is she?" He yelled. The young boy seemed to know what Tony was saying and pointed to the back hallway. He dropped him and took off into the hallway. Just as he entered Ziva's torturer exited on Jessica's side. In the middle of the hallway there was a door. Tony opened it only to find a short ten foot hallway with a door at the end and a guard stationed at the door. Tony immediately shot the guard and ran toward the door.
Jessica sat there with her head in her hands when Ziva's torturer walked in and looked at her. She panicked and grabbed her gun. Just as she shot at him he lunged at her and tackled her to the ground. They rolled several times before she punched him in the mouth and eye with her gun and then shot him in the calve while she was under him. He slapped her so hard across the face she passed out. He grabbed her gun and headed to Ziva because he knew that is why she was here.
When Tony opened the door he saw Ziva lying there on her side.
'Ziva!' He thought as he ran over to her. He knelt over her and untied her arms and legs. As he did that he noted all of her injuries, her cut up and broken arm, her dislocated shoulder, her broken cheek bone, all the bruises on her face and lips.
"Oh God Ziva!" he cried out as he sat her in his lap and put her head to his chest. She was so skinny. He stroked her hair and whispered to her "It's all gonna be okay now. I'm here. I'm bringing you home. I love you Ziva."
Just as he had finished saying that her torturer limped through the door. He pulled up the gun and aimed for Tony's head, but due to the fact Jessica had ruined one of his eyes two bullets went into his arm and one went into his side. Tony reached for his gun, but his arm was useless. The third bullet had gone into his bullet proof vest. Jessica ran in behind the torturer and shot him in the back of the head. She stood there with blood gushing out of her mouth. She stared at Tony who was holding this badly beaten girl and was bleeding all over her.
"Tony you're hurt." Jessica said. Tony stumbled to his feet while holding Ziva bridal style.
"I'm fine. Let's go."
"Let me carry her."
"No." he said running past her out the door.
"Tony!" She yelled running after him.
"No Agent Matthews. Now shut up and run." They were making their way through the building quickly.
"DiNozzo!" Tony stopped at the front door and looked at Jessica.
"No I won't let her go." He told her with the most concern and love she had ever heard coming from a man.
She nodded at him and they ran out the door. Luckily Gibbs had killed everyone else and was waiting at the gate. Tony jumped in the back seat and Jessica followed. She took off her shirt and started applying pressure to Tony's gunshot wounds. Gibbs sped off looking back at Ziva, Tony, and Jessica all mangled up.
'This is the most horrible sight I have seen.' Gibbs thought as he reached for the Satellite phone.
"Yeah I need two med e-vacs now!"
Explosive chapter or what? Reviews make me smile :).
