"Clear!" I said, as another room was cleared. The stench was unbearable but I had to keep going to find her. I had to.
We had gone what must have been a mile into the sewer system.

We stopped at another entrance to a room,Gibbs held up his hand and peered around the door.
"NCIS put you -" Gibbs stopped as the room was empty.

Not entirely empty.

"Zeva!" I yelled, my eyes widening as she was slumped on a chair, her hair down, wrists and ankles tied together. I shoved my gun away and Ran towards her.

"T..to -tony?" she lifted her head slightly and winced, I squatted down in front of her, placed my hand on her cheek and looked at her.

"I'm here, Gibbs McGee we're all here, we're gonna get you out of here." I grabbed a knife from my belt and cut her wrists and ankles free.

"Gibbs," McGee said quickly, showing him something on the hand held computer.

"Zeva... your side." I gasped, ripping my sleeve from my jacket and pushed it onto her open wound.

"We need to go . Now." Gibbs said getting his gas mask.

"Sensors have picked up gas." McGee put on his too.

"We don't have enough." I muttered grabbing mine and gently pulling it over Zevas head.

"McGee can you get us out of here?" Gibbs asked

As the white gas started to pour into the room, I shook my head to stop my vision from going blurry. I lifted Zeva up gently, and stood up.

"Uh.." McGee was searching on his screen.

"McGee! now!" Gibbs yelled, as I started to cough.

"This way." McGee started to lead us out down a back route.
"Door!" he said loudly, nodding at a wooden, rotten door.

I could feel the gas clinging to my throat, it was on fire, I was coughing and spluttering everywhere. Gibbs shoved the door open and we stumbled up the stairs into the light of a street.

"We need a medic now!" Gibbs yelled into his radio.

I laid Zeva down on the ground and rolled onto my back spluttering and coughing. My chest and throat were throbbing in pain, and rolling onto my side I could see Gibbs tending to Zeva who was groaning.
