Hunted

Gone

Gone. just like that. he was here, and then he was gone. Now my world is falling apart... again.

As we walked out of the woods, we see a group of heavy set men in ski masks. They charged towards us and we did everything in our power to fight back. Then one grabbed me by my hair and held a knife to my throat.

        "Wait! Wait! Don't kill her! Please!" I heard Tony yell. Then a man comes over to him and Tony says something to him that I couldn't hear. Then everything goes black...

        I wake up later on my bed. Did I dream all that? Or did that really happen? Tony isn't with me... but I was home. Maybe he just went out for coffee or something and I just dreamed all that... Or maybe it happened and Tony is dead or about to be. Either way I have to go to NCIS. Gibbs will help. I drive quickly to NCIS and run inside and find Gibbs and McGee at their desks.

        "GIBBS! Tony... He was abducted. we were in the woods being hunted by a guy and then we got out and were attacked and they took tonyyyyyy!"

        McGee looks at me and his jaw drops. "Ziva, It's you!"

        This confuses me. "Of course it is me, now do your thing and find TONY!!!"

        "Ziva take a breath. Let's talk about you first," Gibbs speaks up.

        "I am fine. Why are you two acting like you haven't seen me in months?"

        McGee looks confused, too. "Ziva, we HAVEN'T seen you in months. or Tony."

        "What? But I was only... wait what's going on?" It's now that I notice the searing pain in my eye. It feels as if someone sliced it open, disected It, and put it back. "Oww."

        "Ziver... You need to go down to ducky. I'll explain on the way. We walk to the elevator and get in. We stand in awkward silence for a while and then I turn off the elevator. "Tell me what happened."

        "You and DiNozzo went missing. It's been about 5 months. We gave up the search about two weeks ago."

        'How can that be? They took tony and... They knocked me out and..."I remember something else but I can't really tell what... "I remember waking up somewhere... they hurt me... I saw tony. he was bloody and tied up... And it smelled like..." I can't remember that. It had a very distinct smell but I cant remember what. I sit down on the floor with my head in my hands. "WHAT WAS THAT SMELL?"

        Gibbs turns on the elevator. "We're seeing ducky. We can get to this later. Get up."

        "I.. I can't move my legs, gibbs.." I try again but they simply won't move!

        Gibbs leans down. He picks me up and sets me on my feet but I just begin to fall. Now I have completely passed out. Gibbs picks me up and runs while carrying me into autopsy. "Ducky!" ducky looks up and sees me. "Oh dear..." He sets up a table and gibbs lays me down...

Meanwhile, McGee is looking for tony. he calls gibbs... "Boss, I cant find him anywhere. He's disappeared off the face of the earth... He's just... Gone."
