WARNING CONTAINS MILD TORTURE SCENE. NOT DESCRIPTIVE OR GRAPHIC.

Sorry again for not posting in forever but now I am on summer I hope to post at least once a week until the story comes to a natural end point.

All Tony can hear is ringing. High pitched ringing. He has no idea where he is, what happened and how the rest of the team is. As he raises his head to look around he is met with a punch to the face. As he regains his composure he remembers, he remembers that Liat showed up with two guys and knocked him out. He looks at Liat in the eye and quips, "You know if you really work on your centre of gravity you could be a decent fighter"

Liat spits "Shut it DiNozzo, you will, tell me why you and you team are here what Ziva told you then I will kill you." As she speaks she moves around him in circles. "The question is Tony, are you going to be helpful or not? This will decide how you die."

Tony continued staring at her, although now he had the look of steely determination. If Liat was naïve enough to think that torturing him to find out what they knew she didn't really do her research on the team. Tony likes to think that he is like James Bond or Ethan Hunt a very special "secret" agent who won't crack under interrogation no matter what. That an interrogator could do anything to him and he wouldn't give information, and that would be under normal interrogation. This involved Ziva's and Lia's safety. He would do anything to protect Ziva. Tony continues staring at her. He comes to a resolve.

"Go ahead torture me. You won't find out anything." Tony speaks, putting on his best English, Sean Connery like, accent.

Liat almost cackles. Typical evil movie villain laugh Tony thinks. She is walking to the door as her voice start's booming.

"Tony, Tony, Tony, if you think I was going to torture you your sadly mistaken. I know you care too deeply about that so called team, instead…" Liat stops speaking briefly as she opens the door.

"I will be harming somebody very close to you, Agent McGee feels like a good choice to start with." As Liat stops talking the two guys from the hotel drag McGee in who was bound and gagged. McGee's eyes wide in terror and relief now knowing Tony is ok.

Tony doesn't know what to do.

Liat cut's Tim's gag off. As she does so Tim yells quickly "Tony don't say anything" as a result of this he gets a heavy metal bar whacked on his legs as the bar landed on him he screams in pain.

Tony can't look. He looks down trying to avoid looking at Tim's face just for his to be brutally moved back up to look at him. Liat sneers at him.

"You will watch this, DiNozzo it will continue with more and more pain being inflicted upon him until you tell us where Ziva and Gibbs are, what Ziva told you and who else knows what has happened. It is simple. Rest assured if you co-operate I will make your deaths quick."

She lets the bar crash down on Tim's back this time as he is held in place, Tim screams. This continues, DiNozzo isn't exactly sure how long it goes on for he just sees his friend, his brother being put through hell. In spite of this Tim stares at him saying with his eyes "Don't, please not for me".

As Tony continues watching his eyes begin to well up with tears. He tries to will it not to happen. As Liat again raises her arm to come crashing down on him he shouts "Stop, I'll tell you"

As he shouts he knows he made a mistake and he has to work something out quickly.
