A/N: Ok so this is the Last chapter guys! I want to thank everyone who read this story and also who reviewed. It means so much that you liked it. Please enjoy!
The second Tony noticed Ray he abruptly stood from his spot and tackled him to the floor. Tony punched ray in the face repeatedly. All Tony saw was red. He couldn't hear anything, not even Ziva screaming at him to stop. Ray got a hold of one of Tony's fists and somehow turned the tables on him. He twisted Tony's arm behind his back and pushed it in an upward position. Tony screamed out in pain as Ray twisted his arm with more force. Just as Tony's arm was about to snap Ziva ran behind Ray and kick him in the back of the head sending him to the floor on the side of Tony.
As Ray stands he turns to throw a quick punch at Ziva. She stumbles backwards and as she does Tony grabs Ray by the throat and slams Ray into a wall. "Listen to me very carefully Ray. You are never going touch her again, you are never going to see her again, and you will never be near her again. And if I find out that you have done anything that has to do with her, I will hunt you down until I find you and kill you. You hear me Ray?" By the time Tony is done he is yelling into Ray ears. He started out whispering but the more he talked the angrier he got. Ray didn't respond he just started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Tony asks.
"You're so pathetic. You just can't stand that I have her and you don't. And you know what the best part is? The best part is that you have to live with the fact that I've banged her and now you have to live with my sloppy seconds," he says looking at Tony. "Do you have any idea what you're getting yourself into?" Ray asks. Ray is acting completely calm, like he already knows that he will win and take Ziva back to his place. He's confident and Tony senses that.
"You think you're so confident, well I have news for you Ray. Once I'm through with you, you'll never-" Ray throws his head forward to collide with Tony's face. Tony recoils in pain holding his nose. Ray brings his foot up and kicks Tony's hand that is covering his nose.
"Stop it! Both of you knock it off now!" Ziva yells running in between them holding her hands up.
"Ziva move," Tony says taking his hands away from his face. She looks at the blood pouring down his face and shakes her head.
"No. As much as I love a good fight this needs to stop. Tony this will not solve anything. This will only fuel his actions, which will only make him want to hurt you more. Tony do not do this, he's not worth it," she says. She turns her head to stare at Ray. "And you! I left, what in your right mind told you to follow. Me leaving was telling you that it was over. I am done taking beatings from you and from now on I wish not to see you ever again. Now get out!" Her tone is a lot harsher then from when she was talking with Tony.
"It's over when I say it is!" Ray yells back. "You're mine and no one else's. You agreed to be with me, so you better damn well keep your promise!" Ray finishes yelling even louder and taking a step toward Ziva. Tony springs forward once he sees the look in Ray's eyes. Ray is slammed back up against the wall and Tony slams his knee into his gut. He stands back as Ray hunches over.
"Tony!" Ziva yells but it goes unnoticed by Tony. His mind is too clouded with rage.
"Don't you ever look at her that way again!" Tony yells upper cutting Ray in the face so his body flies back up and back into the wall. Tony rushed forward pinning him there. Tony grabs his hair and turns his head so Ray is looking at Ziva. "You see her, she's the best thing that has ever happened to you and you took advantage of her. You treated her like garbage, you didn't treat her how she deserves to be treated and for that you will never get the chance again. I'm sick and tired of watching her cry over you. She gave you so many chances and what do you do? You spit in her face. You beat her till she become unconscious. You use her for your own pleasures. She never wanted to sleep with you but she felt bad because she thought you cared, but the first time she tells you "no" you beat her. Well I've had it. She will never be hurt again especially by you. I won't allow you to ever touch her again," Tony tells him. Tony lets go of Ray's hair and Ray turns to look at him. He looks at him with an unemotional stare which makes Tony even angrier. He punches Ray in the face, grabs him by his coat collar and throws him down onto the coffee table. The glass of the table brakes and a few shards stab up into Ray back which causes him to yelp out in pain.
Ziva runs over to hold Tony back. She's not sure why she doesn't want him to hurt Ray, maybe it's because she's having flashbacks from the whole Rivkin situation, and since she's here she's going to stop it before history repeats itself. "Tony, stop, I don't think I can take anymore," she repeats her words from when they were in the elevator after Mike Franks death. Her words snap him out of his anger trance and he looks deep into her brown eyes and all the rage leaves him.
"Ok," he nods his whispering quietly. Tony places his bloody hands on her shoulders and gently walks her back away from the living room. "Just do me one favor, while I solve this situation. Please stay here away from him. I can't risk him hurting you again," he tells her.
"Ok, Just please no more," she tells him. He nods.
"Ok I will need one more thing from you, I need you to call Gibbs, I'm gonna need him to take him out of here," he tells her. She nods her head and grabs his home phone in the kitchen.
"Alright Ray, playtimes over," Tony says grabbing him by his collar and dragging him out the door. He drags him out and handcuffs one of his hands and then handcuffs him to a pipe out in the hallway. "Alright now you're going to listen to me. I promise you if I ever see you again I will kill you. Now if you want to stay alive you will never ever come near her or contact her in any way again. And if you think for one second that I consider her your sloppy seconds then you are stupider than I thought. She is the greatest thing that will happen to me. Also it will be up to her if she wants a relationship with me or not. Oh yeah that's the other thing you got wrong. There was nothing ever going on between us. So you would still have her if you didn't let your jealousy in the way," Tony says gently tapping Ray on the cheek. As he stands up from locking the handcuffs Gibbs rushes around the corner.
"DiNozzo, what is going on?"Gibbs asks.
"Look I can't tell you much but I need you to take this dirt bag out of here," Tony tells him.
"Is it what we thought?" Gibbs asks.
"What did you guess?" Tony asks.
"Ziva didn't get those bruises from falling," is all Gibbs says as he takes Ray away fully handcuffed and down the stairs out of Tony sight and hopefully Ziva's life forever. Tony smiles and walks back into the room. Ziva runs over and hugs Tony tightly.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Ziva thanks him.
"You're welcome now go get a good night sleep, I'll stay on the couch for the night. Just get some rest. You need it. And I promise you nothing is ever going to hurt you again," he gently kisses her forehead and leans his forehead against hers.
"Thank you," she whispers. She walks away from him and into Tony's room. All that's on her mind is her future with Tony and a goodnights sleep.
A/N: So there it is. I was thinking about killing Ray but I decided against it. And Gibbs knows all! Please review and let me know what you thought of this story. Feedback is important to me! Thanks for reading!
