I am so so so so so so sorry for not updating sooner! I had major writer's block that I just couldn't shake! Thank you LyssLovesTiva33 for helping me out! Here it is, what you've all been waiting a month for... sorry again...
"You shouldn't have come Tony."
Carlee dug the gun deeper into the back of Tony's head. "Walk." she almost cried, trying to keep a steady voice as she led the shaken agent to a place next to Ziva. "Gun. Give it, now." She stuck her hand out moving her fingers to herself. Tony slowly gave up the gun, placing it in her hand, knowing there was nothing else to do. If he got shot, who would save Ziva from this crazy chick?
Carlee looked around the room, spying a close by chair. She grabbed it, yet not letting Tony leave her sight. "Sit." she growled. "Now."
Two minutes later, after much fighting, Tony was tied to the chair which sat awkwardly behind Ziva. The tight ropes dug deep into Tony's arms and legs, and there was no way out for him. He
looked up after he had a chance to catch his breath. Carlee was looking at him oddly, but she said nothing. Tony watched as Carlee clutched his phone and snapped it in half in one delicate motion. He forgot, she had been with NCIS for months; that would be the first thing Abby, McGee, and Gibbs would do to try and find them.
Tony finally broke the hardened silence. "Carlee, what do you think you are doing? We have been nothing but nice to you. We brought you into our team and treated you like one of us. Like... like family." Tony felt Ziva's hands try to grab his, but it was almost impossible. He felt her body tense up and start to shake.
Carlee, unaware of everything, paced over to Tony and sighed. "You think I want to do this?" This made Ziva's hands stop shaking and Tony felt her head shift to look at their captor. Tony slightly shifted in his seat to be able to look at his love. Her eyes seemed to scream, "WHAT?" Yet she stayed silent. Now Tony knew something was up. He decided to push Carlee more.
"Carlee, then why do it? I know you caused the crash but why?" Tony could see Carlee start to tear up.
"I can't...I can't say," she said, shaking her head. Pacing back and forth from one wall to another. Now Ziva couldn't hold back her words.
"She wanted our jobs Tony, nothing more." Tony stared in horror at his co-worker.
"What?" he whispered. All the pain, all the sadness, all the tears, was because of his job? Carlee leaped at Ziva, grabbing a knife from her side, stabbing Ziva in the shoulder, causing Ziva to moan in pain. Tony's eyes widened. That wasn't Ziva. His ninja. She never let anyone know how much pain she was in, other than him. Most of the time not even him.
"Stop! NO!"Tony cried as he knew Carlee would continue if not stopped. He tried to shake out of the chair, but to no effect. "Carlee please no!" Tony heard an angered growl escape from the
hysterical woman attacking the love of his life.
"If you speak again, the next time it will be in your heart," Carlee threatened. Ziva slowly shut her mouth, fearing that the woman's accusations will be true. Tony's heart was racing as Carlee stood in front of him again, her angry eyes now turned to look longingly, almost lovingly. He felt Ziva stiffen from behind him, at the moment that was all he could concentrate on. His eyes only stared blankly at Carlee, anger, confusion, and slight fear clouding them.
"I don't want to hurt you Tony, don't make this harder for you," Carlee told him in a low voice that didn't even sound like her. Chills ran down Tony's spine.
"Then why do this Carlee, why tie me up! Why hurt Ziva! WHY!" Tony kept pressing.
"Because... I had to!" she gritted out, her lip curling in disgust.
"You could have waited!" Tony protested. "There are always jobs available! We needed more agents anyway!"
"I waited for too long Tony," Carlee shook her head.
"And now you are throwing it all away," Tony reminded her. Carlee froze. "If you let us go... we'll... we'll let the Director know that none of this was your fault. If you let us go you can walk away with a clean slate. Maybe get transferred, be an Agent Afloat... SOMETHING!" He felt Ziva stiffen again as Carlee began walking towards her again. Tony sighed, he just wanted out of this mess. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and for this nightmare to be over.
"It's too late Tony," Carlee whispered. "You know it and I know it. What's done is done. You just have to face it."
"You're gonna kill us both then, is that it?" Tony asked.
"I can't hurt you Tony," she shook her head, pacing the room again. He watched closely as the hand that held the gun shook. She was jittery, she was getting nervous; Tony was not sure whether or not that was a good thing.
"But if you kill Ziva you will hurt me Carlee," Tony protested. "You don't have to do this."
"It's because of her that this is happening!" Carlee screamed, pointing the gun at Ziva. Ziva gasped and Tony held in his breath.
"No... no Carlee, calm down," Tony whispered harshly. "Please."
"Why should I," she hissed, placing the gun on Ziva's forehead. "One shot and she's dead. She's out of the way!"
"Please," Tony begged. "She's your friend. I'm your friend." Carlee visibly flinched, making Tony very confused.
"Tony stop begging, it won't stop it," Carlee shook her head, lowering the gun. "It's gonna happen soon enough."
"Why does it have to!" Tony yelled. He was losing his patience fast. He was antsy. He couldn't take much more of this.
"Because it does!" the deranged agent half screamed, half cried.
"Give me more of a reason then that Andress!" Tony growled. "You are smart enough to give me more than that. Don't be a coward!"
"IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" she screamed. Ziva gasped while all Tony could do was gape at her in shock.
"McGee," Gibbs asked coming into the bull pen. "Where the hell is DiNozzo?"
"I don't know Boss," McGee shrugged. "I went to get coffee and when I came back he was gone."
"Well where could he be?" Gibbs snapped. "And where is Andress, Ziva's appointment should be done by now."
"I honestly don't know Boss," McGee shook his head.
"Come with me," Gibbs said gruffly, heading towards the elevator.
"Where?" he asked, jumping up.
"Abby's lab," Gibbs said. "See if she got anything relating to the case." McGee nodded and followed Gibbs down to her lab. When the got there, Abby was huddled on her stool, a farting noise coming from her every few seconds. "Jeez Abs," Gibbs teased but froze when she turned around; Bert was clutched in her strong arms and her make-up was streaming down her face. "Abs what's wrong?"
"Ca-Ca," Abby stuttered. "She- she..."
"Abby," McGee said. "What are you saying, we can't understand you." Out of nowhere she jumped up to hug Gibbs.
"Abby," Gibbs said forcefully. "What is wrong?"
"I... I know who c-cut the elevator wire," she whispered. "Wh-who tried to kill T-Tony and Zi-Ziva."
"Who Abs?" Gibbs said, pulling her out of his arms and looking into her eyes. "Spit it out!"
"Carlee."
"Y-you what?" Tony gasped.
"Oh-oh my god," Carlee gasped, grabbing her knife again. "What did I do?"
"You love me," Tony whispered. For the first time since they were trapped there, Ziva's fingers finally reached out to curl around Tony's. He realized she was starting to get out.
"I do Tony," Carlee nodded solemnly. "But SHE is taking you away from me!" Just then she lashed out at Ziva again, this time catching her cheek. Ziva bit her lip so hard that she drew blood, but this time she did not make a sound. Tony smiled slightly, there was his ninja.
"But she didn't... isn't," Tony whispered unsure, feeling Ziva stiffen again. Carlee was in front of him again, looking at him in shock.
"Wh-What?" she gasped. An uncomfortable silence fell over the room.
"I love you too."
What? He loves her? OMG! What about Ziva? What about the baby? Let me know what you think about this chapter!
