The next 6 hours were boring for Willow. She sat in the room, nothing happening. Then she heard talking outside of the room. She listened in as much as she could. All she heard was
Man 1 - "you want me to do what?"
Man 2 - *mumbling*
Man 1 - "she's just a child..."
Man 2 - *somewhat yelling mumbling*
-silence-
The door opened slowly. Willow watched a dark haired man enter carrying a bag. He set the bag on the ground. It sounded like metal or weapons or something. Willow watched the man carefully as he came over to her.
She winced as he touched her arm. His hands were rough. She had expected him to throw her across the room or something, but instead, he lifted her up onto her feet gently.
"I do not want to have to use what is in that bag over there. So please. Surrender now. Agree to stay"
"I'm not staying. No matter what."
something in the man's emotions changed. It looked like he was being controlled. "Fine then." He threw her across the room.
She lay on the floor, grunting as she got onto her hands and knees. He came over and kicked her in the gut. After several more blows to the gut and chest, he stopped for a moment. "Change your mind yet?"
Willow sat up, coughing. "I will never do another thing for this place! Ever!!"
The man sighed and tied her hands together. He tied her hands somewhere above her head. Then she saw him walk over to his bag. She took a deep breath. This wasn't going to feel very good.

Around five, Tony and Ziva got home after picking Andy up at his school. They opened the door and looked around. Willow wasn't home. That was strange.
Ziva dialed her number. It went straight to voicemail. She met Tony in the kitchen. "Her phone is off."
Tony looked at Ziva a bit worried. "I'm sure she's just at a friend's house. "
Ziva looked at him with a different look. "You know she would call and let us know..."
Tony sighed. "I'll call McGee and see if he can trace her cell."
He walked into the other room. Ziva sat at the table wondering what to do. She called Gibbs and let him know what was happening. He said that he'd make some calls and see what he could figure out.
Tony came back in. "McGee said he couldn't trace it. It was off and the batteries were taken out so he couldn't trace it... That's not normal." He sat across from Ziva.
She sighed and looked at him. "She's in trouble... Did you ever find out if she resigned from that agency thing like we told her to?"
"I- I have no idea. What's that guys name that she was close to?"
"Something like Caleb or something. I have his number. Maybe he knows something."
She dialed his number and put the phone to her ear. "Hi, Caleb? This is Ziva DiNozzo, willow's mother. She never came home from school. I was wondering if you knew anything."
Caleb sighed on the other side of the phone. "I knew something was up... She came in earlier. Told me she wanted to resign completely. I told her it wasn't safe. They don't let people walk away like that. I haven't seen or heard anything after she went to speak with the director."
"Okay. Thank you." She hung up and told Tony everything.
"Well, we have to go get her! She's in danger with those people!"
Ziva sighed and glanced up at Tony. "We have to go about this the right way. We need to go to Gibbs."
Tony shook his head. "They can't be that hard to handle. I got out of there once. Who says I can't get her out, too?"
Ziva felt unsure. "Fine. But I'm going with you."
"Zi, no. It's too dangerous. It'll be so easy. Just sneak in and sneak out. Besides. Someone needs to stay here with Andy"
Ziva sighed. "Fine. Take a walkie talkie and Keep it on the whole time. Then I can know for sure if something goes wrong."
Tony nodded. "Of course." He grabbed an extra one from their gear. After Getting them on the same channel, he left.

Meanwhile, Willow had been through several methods of torture from This man who didn't even know her. Still, she refused to stay. He was getting frustrated and angry.
He left the Room for a little while. Willow hung from her hands, weak. The door opened. She didn't even lift her head. Then warm hands touched her and lifted her head. Her eyes widened.
"Dad no! You have to go! They'll-"
She didn't get to finish. The camera in the room had seen Tony and people were there immediately. They took down Tony and stripped him of weapons, including the walkie.
Ziva listened in as they tied him up. They blamed Willow for him coming and only beat her for it. Ziva turned off the walkie and buried her face in her hands. She got Andy into the car and went to NCIS, calling Gibbs to meet her there. Along with McGee.
She sat at her desk, typing furiously on her keyboard, trying to find a way for all this to work. Gibbs walked in. He stopped at her desk. "Ziver..."
"Gibbs. I'm fine. All I need is for Tony and Willow to be found! Now!"
He didn't say anything. Just looked at her, knowing that she wasn't fine. "Ziver..."
"So what if I'm not fine??? I just need to get them back! It's simple. we need to barge in and attack the agency!"
Gibbs sighed. "It's not that simple."
Ziva stood up. "How complicated is barging in and saying 'you're all under arrest!!'"
"I'll work on it Ziva. First, you relax. Sit down. Let me work."
Ziva sat stiffly. McGee came in and Gibbs went with him to find backup to come with them.
