Renovation Time

Chapter 7

~Ziva's pov~

They brought the parket inside Tony's appartment. She suddenly remembered leaving her phone in the car. 'Tony, I need to get my phone out of the car!' she shouted, standing by the door. 'Ok!' she heard. She smiled when she opened the door and walked out. She could really get used to this. She shook her head. 'Do not get used to anything, Ziva. You will only get yourself hurt,' she thought.

As soon as she walked through the backdoor of the building, someone suddenly hit her in the stomach, incredibly hard. 'OUPH!' She doubled over, hands over her stomach. She looked up to see her attacker. The man from the store... She stood straight and swung her arm backwards to hit him, but someone grabbed her arm from behind. Another man! The 'store man' grabbed her free arm and together they threw her back against the wall. A burning pain shot through her spine. She stood up and hit the 'helper' and at the same time she kicked the store man. They both backed down, but quickly recovered. The helper threw a punch that she blocked, but the store man pushed her against the wall, on the floor. She tried to stand up, but the helper kicked her against her side. 'Ouch!'

She felt for her gun, but it was still in Tony's appartment...

Suddenly Tony ran out the door and stood in front of her, protecting her. 'Hey! Leave her alone!' She brought up enough strength to stand up, in fighting position.

She quickly threw a punch at the store guy, she hit him on his jaw. He fell down. She looked to the right, where Tony kicked the helper hard in his stomach. He fell down too. Both laid knock out on the floor.

She smiled thankfully at Tony, who put his hands on her shoulders, looking worried. She laughed. 'I am ok, Tony. Thank you.' He smiled, a relieved look in his eyes.
