Daddy's Girl-An NCIS Story

Clues and Lost Faith

 Tony was frantically searching everywhere for Ziva. He had even went to her apartment to find her, with no luck. Nobody knew what to do but to keep watching the camera footage they received every hour. It was about time the guy showed up, and he came sprinting in, handing him a specific copy of the footage. He didn't ask questions, so he just popped it in the system and hit play. A girl came running by and slowed down and put her hood up as she came to an alley. This was definitely Ziva.. Then, all of a sudden, a man pounced on her. He paused it and zoomed in. Tony knew that face from anywhere.

"Well, hello again, Eli David," he muttered.

He just kept it pulled up and sent a copy of it down to Abby, just to make sure. When the results came back that the man was definitely Eli, Tony became furious!

"Why would he even attempt to kidnap his own daughter," Tony bellowed.

Thoughts of all the years of working with his partner flashed through his head. He fell to the ground, crying. Gibbs ran up to him and stood him up. Tony then regained his balance. He then used the one thing that might help keep him sane. His face became cold stone. This was the trick Ziva taught him years ago and made him swear to use it only in times like these. They then got back to work, examining the video even more, hoping to find a clue to lead them to Ziva.

Ziva was trapped. She was practically begging for death, and it had only been a day. She was hanging by her feet from the ceiling over a bucket. She knew her father to well for this. He was probably just saving her blood to torture Tony, Gibbs, McGee, Abby, and Ducky. She missed them dearly, but knew she would never get to see them again. She heard the door open and she slowed her heart rate and closed her eyes. She intended to use her father's own training methods against him. The guard fell for it and left. She then opened her eyes and tried to bend herself up to untie the rope, but she saw the rope, which was actually chain upon chain upon chain. She let go and swung back down. She then cried. She let everything out while no one was watching, or so she thought.
