But...
...suddenly they heared shoots and screaming.
Because he had frightened Saleem pressed the blade firmly against her neck.
It started to bleed heavily and so he let her fall off the chair.
No ten seconds later the door was flung open again.
In front of him was the NCIS team.
"How.. how the hell did you found me?! I did nothing wrong!" he shouted but the only thing he became back was a "Ziva!!" from DiNozzo.
"Ziva" he wispered before he run to her.
He let himself fall on the ground next to her to check her pulse.
"What did you've done to her?!" Tony shouted and looked Saleem straight in the eyes.
But he just smiled and throw a knife in the direction of the two.
The knife grazed Zivas arm and she jerked in pain.
Gibbs and McGee responded immediately and arrested Saleem and the men who were still living.
Tony remained rooted to the spot.
"Dinozzo! Take Ziva and call an Ambulance!" Gibbs shouted.
Now Tony was the one who jerked.
As ordered Tony called an ambulance.
After a long discussion, he sat back down next to his partner and hold her hand.
About ten minutes later on felt like a very long time, he finally heard the siren of the approaching ambulance.
Thus, he picked her up and carried her to the waiting car.
"You can do it Ziva. You are strong." He whispered into her ear after she lay on the stretcher.
He got out of the ambulance.
"Tony?" Gibbs shouted.
"Do you come? You can not do anything for her right now." He said with a sad undertone.
"I'm coming!" He shouted back and walked to Gibbs and McGee.
