A/N Hows it guys?
So, this is the sequel to A part of their family, and is set about six months after the end of that story. It would probably help to read that first, but I suppose it doesnt really make any difference :D
I don't own NCIS or any of it's characters. My only original characters are Lana, and her older brother and sister.
Please R+R because I'd love to hear what people think!
Just to make it clear straight away, in this chapter, the stuff in italics is a dream that Gibbs is having about when he was seventeen.
Thanks again,

Prologue.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs sat in his father's living room, feeling kind of excited, but he couldn't remember why. He looked around, seeing all the familiar decorations and furniture that he had always seen. The rain drizzled against the window, leaving a soft sound on the panes.
Suddenly, the peaceful quietness was shattered by a hard banging on the front door. He looked at the phone next to him, remembering why he had felt so...animated. He was waiting for Shannon to call. Another bout of hammering on the wood of the door made him feel conflicted. But then, he thought, maybe it was Shannon at the door, having skipped the phone call and coming straight to his home. He started to hear yelling, but he was surprised to hear that it wasn't Shannon. It was someone else, someone he recognised, but he couldn't think who for a minute. It was right on the tip of his tongue...
"Gibbs! Gibbs! Open up, please!" The girl's cries roused Gibbs from his sleep, and even in his semi-conscious state, Gibbs knew who it was.
"Gibbs please! Gibbs!"
Lana.
Gibbs shot from his bed and ran down the stairs, pulling on a sweater as he went. He yanked the front door open, seeing the young girl stood there, drenched in rain and panting heavily.
"Oh thank God." She breathed when she saw him.
"Lana, what's wrong? What's going on?" Gibbs questioned, noticing a bleeding cut on her forehead, and that she was cradling her hand. He moved aside so that Lana could come in from the rain.
"Someone took him Gibbs, and I don't know what to do..." Lana broke down into a fit of sobs, and Gibbs put his hands on her shoulders, trying to keep her focused for long enough to get all of the information.
"Lana, took who? Who did they take Lana?"
"Tony." She sniffed "They took Tony."
