Okay so I don't own any part of NCIS :( um I hope you like this story. I'm thinking that I'm going to break it up into a bunch of short stories involving the team and their interactions with Emmaline DiNozzo who you will meet soon. Please let me know what you think!

"McGoogle! Bring your speedy hands over here and finish typing my report I've got a finger cramp."

"Tony I am not typing your report."

"McGee as senior field agent I demand that you do you duty as an inferior and do my bitch work."

Thwack!

"Oh hey Boss I didn't see you come in"

"Get back to work senior field agent."

"Yes Boss!"

McGee took a deep breath and continued to type his own report. It was a beautiful Saturday morning and everyone was trying to finish their paper work and catch the rest of the day. Tony grumbled and gave McGee a sour look before getting back to work and Ziva smirked at him while working away. McGee only had one form left to fill out and he gave a sigh of relief as he finished.

"Have a good day McGee." Gibbs told him as he began to gather his things and head to the elevator.

"Thanks Boss you too." He ignored Tony's glare and pushed the button to go down the elevator dinged and the doors slid open.

"Leaving so soon Agent McGee?"

McGee's good mood quickly vanished in front of him stood Agent Fornell

"Fornell," he greeted "I was hoping to."

Fornell laughed as he stepped out of the elevator and turned McGee back towards the team who were watching the exchange "Think again."

McGee groaned and went back to his desk just as Abby, Ducky and Palmer came into the Bull Pen.

"What seems to be happening Jethro?" Ducky inquired.

"I'd like to know also, Ducky." Gibbs answered though he was watching Agent Fornell

"McGee put this up on the plasma and I'll explain." Fornell handed him a USB, and after looking to Gibbs and receiving a nod he complied.

A picture of a man in his late 50s with dark hair and skin came up. The man was on his cell phone sitting in a café drinking coffee and taking notes.

"This is Daniel Steel. The FBI has been trying to bring this guy in for over 15 years but we haven't been able to pin anything to him. He runs a large organized crime circle in Northern California, he's in control of 90% of the crime that occurs in the upper counties of the state anything from burglaries, assaults, arms dealing and drugs but mostly he runs the Marijuana industry in competition with the cartels in San Francisco. If the FBI can take him down it could put a huge damper in the crime happening in Northern California."

"Are you here to ask for our help Fornell? FBI can't handle it so you're asking NCIS for help how sweet." Tony asked Ziva and Abby snickered.

"Oh no Tony, we've already gotten everything that we need from our informant. Steel's accountant is twenty four year old Hannah Steel."

"His daughter is turning him in?" asked Ziva standing up to get a better view of the girl whose picture was now on the screen. In the picture the curvy young blonde was putting her keys in the door of a beater up car.

"Boss," Tony stood as well staring intently at the picture. "Boss I know her."

"She an old girlfriend Tony?" Abby asked smartly.

"I should hope not DiNozzo she's your cousin." Fornell remarked.

"Emmaline?" Tony continued to stare completely awestruck.

"You got a story to tell DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked

"My Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lorie DiNozzo were murdered 22 years ago my cousin Emmaline was two and she was never found. Is that her Fornell is that really Emmaline?" Tony turned demanding answers from Fornell after he'd answered Gibbs.

McGee looked closer at the smiling young woman on the screen, "She could pass as your sister Tony." She had a softer more feminine face but she was defiantly a DiNozzo.

"I didn't know you had family Tony." Ziva commented.

"I didn't." He replied tersely.

"It's her DiNozzo. We ran a DNA test." Fornell told him "we'd tried for years to get an operative in close to Steel and then last year she came to us. She knew that she wasn't Steel's daughter, she didn't like working for him either, she'd been taught to nudge numbers for him since she was 12 and she wanted out. Growing up the daughter of a crime lord was not good for her and she'd decided that she'd had enough so she contacted the beauro and the case was handed to me she would make sure that we had enough evidence to put Steel and his top ten men behind bars for a long time as long we found out who she was and where her real family was."

"How long have you know?" Tony asked in a very low and very angry voice. It was a voice not used by Tony very often. Abby Ducky and Palmer took an involuntary step backwards just as Ziva took a step towards him and both Gibbs and McGee stood from their chairs.

"Take it easy Agent DiNozzo." Director Vance's commanding voice nearly boomed over the Bull Pin from he was standing on the first landing of the stairs. Ziva put a hand on Tony's shoulder and he relaxed a fraction.

"She asked me not to tell you. When I told her who you were and that you were a federal agent she asked that you not be told until the take down has happened and she was clear of the crime ring. She didn't want you to know at all." Fornell told him quickly

"Then why are you telling him now, Fornell." Gibbs demanded.

"The bust went as planned except that one man got away and he told every person connected to Steel that it had been her that betrayed them, every supply, buyer business partner you name it wants her dead. So we've relocated her here into your protective custody. Her plane is landing in two hours. I'll be picking her up and bringing her here to you."

"So you just drop her off here with us, your job is done and we don't get a choice as to whether we want her or not." Tony stated bitterly

"I rather like the girl, DiNozzo; I wouldn't mind making her part of my family if you don't want her." Fornell angrily took a step toward him, but it was Ziva who stood in front of Tony and said

"That will not be necessary Agent Fornell why don't you go if you are finished."

Fornell glared at her and everyone was silent watching their stare down.

"I'd do as she says Tobias."Gibbs finally said coming up behind him.

"Just make sure your agent doesn't make his family feel unwelcome."

"I think it's just you that he doesn't feel like welcoming." McGee responded coming to stand beside Gibbs.

Fornell toke a moment more to stare at Tony and then he walked to the elevators calling over his shoulder, "One more thing DiNozzo before I forget, her catalyst, what forced her to get out, she's two months pregnant treat her well." He stepped through the elevator doors aware of the death glares he was receiving form every person in the bull pen. He would not be welcome in this building for a long time. Tony just closed his eyes and looked like he'd taken a physical blow to the face.

"So what do you plan on doing DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked

"Finish my report for now I suppose."

Gibbs reached to head slap him but everyone was surprised when Ziva beat him to. Tony turned to glare at her and it was apparent to all that a fight was about to ensue. Abby rushed forward and grabbed Tony by his arm "Come to my lab Tony and I'll help you brainstorm."

"And I'll finish your…report for you." McGee added reluctantly

"Awe that's sweet McGoo." Tony said with a layer of fake sugar as Abby dragged him away.

"One would think that he would be happy to find out that his cousin was alive not angry." Ducky said once the elevator doors had closed

"I think that he is more so angry that everyone at the FBI knew before he did Ducky." Ziva sat back down at her desk and McGee sat at Tony's

"He's barely even started his report!" McGee exclaimed.

Vance came down and stood at Gibbs desk.

"Did you know about this?"Gibbs asked him.

"Fornell called me before coming over here all I know is what he told you. I know nothing about her but I want to know everything about her I don't appreciate the FBI dumping this on us even though she is DiNozzo's cousin. David, McGee save your reports for later I want to know everything that there is to know about the disappearance of Emmaline DiNozzo and who she is as Hannah Steel."

Gibbs nodded and the two agents began to work.

Abby had to use all of her weight to drag Tony out of the elevator and into her lab.

"So are you going to have Emmaline live with you? Is your apartment big enough? I wonder if the director is going to help you take care of her? Do you know anything about babies? Do you think she'll like us? I hope she…"

"Abby! Stop! I don't know. I don't know what I'm supposed do. I don't even know what I'm feeling at the moment. I don't know." He had his hands gripping her shoulders and his outburst had become rather subdued halfway through.

"I know Tony." She cupped his face before wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him close."That's what we're going to brainstorm for, we need to start somewhere." She felt him return her hug and take a few deep breaths.

"Okay let's started."

"What have you to got so far." Gibbs asked prompting Ziva and McGee into action.

Grabbing the remote Ziva took the lead bring up a family picture of the DiNozzo's. "Thomas Hatcher worked for Daniel Steel for 30 yrs as his accountant, he fudged the numbers on the legal businesses that Steel owned to account for the illegal income that he was making. He met Lorie DiNozzo in San Francisco while on a business trip, they spent the week together, fell in love, he asked her to marry him but she wanted him to move to New York with her so he quit Steel's business without giving his two weeks notice. Steel was not happy, put a price on Thomas's head. Thomas heard about the hit and took DiNozzo as his name and fled to New York to live with Lorie."

McGee took the remote bringing up a wedding documents and a birth certificate for Emmaline DiNozzo." Three weeks after coming to New York Thomas and Lorie were married and expecting Emmaline. Thomas got a job as a honest accountant and their lives were pretty simple for almost three years. Then one of Steel's business associates came to New York for a vacation and saw Thomas. The next night five hit men came to New York and the DiNozzo's were executed. Emmaline was presumed dead though her body was never found. Now we know that she was brought to the east coast and raised as Hannah Steel. Hannah went through elementary school, graduated from high school and then went to college but the only classes she took were select math and business classes"

"So Steel kidnaps the daughter of his ex-accountant raises her as his own daughter and teaches her to become his perfect accountant." Gibbs interrupted.

"Basically, but she wasn't just the accountant. Steel might have given her his name but he didn't raise her as a daughter in even the vaguest way." Ziva responded darkly

Gibbs looked at her and raised an eyebrow asking her to elaborate but she stubbornly stayed quiet and gestured to McGee who sighed heavily before turning to his boss and answering a tone of voice that told Gibbs how much he didn't like what he was saying.

"Ever since she was 14 before she was bookkeeping she's been working for Steel. Personal relations between customers, has been her select job for the last ten years Boss."

"McGee?"

"Steel made her provide sexual entertainment for any of his business associates who wanted her. The father of her child could be any one of a number of criminals."

Gibbs toke a deep breath. "Accountant by day, escort by night."

"That's some heavy stuff for a young woman to take." Vance came up behind them. "I'm curious to know what kind of a young woman this life has molded her to be. Gibbs I've just talked to Fornell and I've changed the plan slightly you are going to pick her up from the airport. Get a feel of who she is before you bring her here."

Gibbs nodded slightly calling over his shoulder as he walked to the elevator "McGee you're with me."

"Miss Jones? Excuse me Miss?

"Oh sorry what do you need?"

"We're starting to descend, you need to buckle your seat belt and I've brought you some more bags." The stewardess smiled sweetly before walking back down the isle.

I forgot my name again. What is now Jones? Jones? Carly Jones that's right. I wonder what I'll go by now that I'm in D.C. What do I want to go by? Hannah? Definitely not I hate that name. Carly Jones? Yuck! Emmaline DiNozzo? It is a pretty name but is it safe to use? Oh I feel sick again!

The entire flight had been this way a continuous internal dialogue interrupted by the urge to hurl. A few queasy moments later and the plane had landed. Emmaline grabbed her hand bag and followed along with all the other passengers exiting the plane into the terminal. She looked around for Agent Fornell nervously but didn't see him. Instead she saw a nicely dressed, sliver haired, good looking man holding a coffee in one hand and a sign with her temporary name on it.

Cautiously she approached him and held out her hand. "You must be the Special Agent Gibbs that Agent Fornell told me so much about."

He dropped the sign in the trash and shook her hand. "I am. Though I wouldn't believe everything that Tobias told you."

"So what now?"

"We go back to the office and you get to meet everyone else."

Agent Gibbs took her bag and led her out of the airport and to the car where another agent was waiting for them."This is Special Agent Timothy McGee."

"It's nice to meet you Agent McGee."

"Nice to meet you too." He shook her hand and then held open the door for her while Agent Gibbs put her bag in the truck and then got in the driver's seat.

"Thank you" she quietly told him.

"What for?"

"Opening the door for me, no one's done that before."

They were all quiet in the beginning of the ride. She watched everything that was flying by the window. Her stomach must have gotten used to fast motion. His driving wasn't making her sick. Finally Emmaline decided to get the difficult part of this first meeting out of the way.

"I suppose that you looked up all my history. All that I've had to do as Hannah Steel? The things that were done to me? Fornell told me about my old life about my parents. You know everything about me already don't you? All that you could find that was in document form at least but you can't really get to know a person by reading about them. So you've come to pick me up to figure me out haven't you? Well what do you want to know? "

McGee sat forward from the back seat so that he could hear her better and Gibbs looked at her sideways for an unnerving moment, considering that he was driving, and asked "How do you feel about all that's happened?"

"Well that wasn't a quite what I expected." Emmaline was quiet for a while. She hadn't really had time to feel since all of this had started. If she were being honest she'd never really let herself feel much. She took a deep breath not sure where she should start she began with the earliest feels that she'd had.

"Since I was a little girl I've known that I was not valued as a person, an individual. All I've ever been was a tool, a means to an end. My father, if that's what you could call Daniel Steel, told me only once that the purpose for my life was to obey him and he wanted me to be a better servant than the man who had preceded me. I was five. I didn't see him very often when I was young. I was home schooled, my teacher was Julie, the girlfriend of Michel Casgrove, Daniel's right hand man. She was not a nice woman and not a good teacher either, I suppose I have a good education but I doubt she taught me everything, only what was important to their goal.

"I was taught to follow orders and I was a good student but, I took nothing to heart. I didn't get out much but I knew that it wasn't right how I was treated, people shouldn't be so miserable all the time. They shouldn't hate everyone around them. But, I didn't know what to do. I tried to run away once when I was ten. I still have the scares from the beating Julie gave me and I'd only made it a mile before I was caught. I promised myself that I would be patient that I wouldn't get caught the next time. Slowly from then on I let them think that they had control of me but I was rebellious. I stole newspapers, magazines, I eavesdropped on conversations whenever I could and I did my best to learn what they refused to teach me without getting caught."

"I got most of my information from the men that Daniel gave me to. Most of them were sick criminals and they were terrifying. Some of them though, as I got older, some of them thought that I genuinely wanted to be there with them and they treated me like a person. They talked to me, told me things."

"Once I was had all the educating that Daniel felt I needed, I became the accountant for all of the businesses and I had a little bit more freedom but still had no idea how to get away for good. So I waited and dreamed about what my life would be like away from Daniel."

"And then about a month ago I found out that I was pregnant and I knew that I couldn't wait anymore I had to get out even if it meant running scared for the rest of my life. I had planned on just trying to run away again. Daniel had allowed me to go out on my own to town a few times a month to buy new clothes and such, he didn't think that I would try to leave anymore. So I was going to just leave one day, but then I heard Daniel and Michel talking the afternoon before I was planning my escape."

"They were saying that David Sanders one of the new thugs that they were going to higher was an undercover cop and that they had three undercover cops in the last year that had tried to crack their business. I had met David Sanders and I knew where he was staying, Daniel had made me take him home one night. So the next day instead of skipping town I went to David and confronted him said that they would never get anyone into the business but if he helped me get out I would help him take down Daniel. It took a while to gain his trust but then he brought in his boss, Agent Fornell, and I began bringing them all the evidence that they asked for when I was allowed to go to town."

"I was so scared that I would be caught but it felt so good to be actively fighting against them."

"And how do you feel now?"Gibbs asked after she had stopped talking.

"I'm still scared, Michel still hasn't been caught and I'm on the entire west coasts criminal's top wanted list." She tried to laugh it off. "I'm still pregnant; don't know who the father is, don't want to know who. I've learned that I do have a real family and I'm afraid that they might not want me. I've never been far from where I grew up and I have no idea what my life is going to be now." She took a deep shaky breath and tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. So much had happened in the last month. She'd almost had herself under control when Agent McGee's hand materialized over her shoulder holding a handkerchief and the damn broke.

Ziva sat at her desk trying to look as though she were waiting patiently but the nervous tapping of her foot was giving her away. What would this young woman be like? How was Tony going to handle this?

"Agent David tapping your foot incessantly and looking at the elevator doors will not bring them here any faster." Director Vance told her from where he say in Tony's chair. Abby still had Tony in her lab which left the Director, Palmer, Ducky and herself waiting in the bull pen.

Ducky was sitting in McGee's chair and Palmer had decided to pull up an chair from an empty desk rather than sit in Gibbs place.

"What do you think she'll be like?" Palmer asked.

"It's hard to say how a person will turn out when they are faced with such hardships as this young woman has been." Ducky said.

"Fornell said that he liked her. She can't be all that bad if he likes her right? I mean he likes Agent Gibbs so hmm maybe she could be bad."

Ziva gave Palmer a dirty look and was about to open her mouth when the elevator dinged and the doors opened emitting Gibbs and McGee walking on either side of a very nervous, very pretty, very DiNozzo looking woman.

Director Vance stood to great them holding out a hand to the woman, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you …?"

"Um I'd like to go by Emmaline if that was okay?" she shook his hand.

"Emmaline would be fine but we'll have to discus last names later on. This is Special Agent Ziva David..."

"Shalom."

"…our medical examiner Dr. Donald Mallard…"

"Call me Ducky."

".…and his assistant Jimmy Palmer."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all."

"McGee why don't you take Emmaline down to Abby's lab I'm sure she's anxious to meet her cousin."

McGee nodded and guided Emmaline by her elbow to the lab. Once they were gone Vance turned to Gibbs. "Well?"

"She's tough. Been through hell, she's not unaffected by it but she's not influenced by it either. There are walls that she's got built up tighter than Fort Knox that will protect her from any harm but any act of kindness she's can't battle against. McGee handed her a tissue and she broke down so hard that she was crying to the point that she was hyperventilating, I had to pull the car over until she could breathe again."

"Killing with kindness, taken to a whole new level." Palmer said sadly.

"Mr. Palmer this is hardly something one finds amusing clearly the poor woman has been so severely mistreated in her life that she has no concept of being treated otherwise."Ducky admonished his assistant.

"Sorry Dr."

"Ziva I want you to keep an eye on her. She's got herself all bottled up, the glass is going to break sometime." Gibbs said softly to his agent, he knew that Ziva knew what he was talking about.
