It was a boring morning at NCIS and Gibb's temperament was not being helped by the fact that Di Nozzo was expressing his boredom by taking it out on his colleagues….he had to give him the stare. The ringing of the phone was like hearing angels singing.

"Gibbs."

"I need help! My daughter and my grandson are missing and that bastard took them -"

"Hold on a second. Who am I talking to?"

"Retired Chief Petty Officer Arthur Byers – I know this is NCIS but the bastard who took her is in the navy."

The team soon found themselves in an apartment, obviously there was a baby boy around given the bottles, cot, sterilizer and so on…the only things missing were the actual mother and child.

Ziva was taking pictures and Di Nozzo was interviewing the neighbours but no progress so far. Gibbs meanwhile was talking to the man who called him. The sailor in question did not report for duty which made Byers' report more believable.

"Start from the beginning Arthur." Gibbs said as they sat in the living room, he knew when people lied to him and the man before him was not lying…something was strange though – he had a familiarity about him.

"Janice just moved back here after giving birth to my grandson in Geneva where she was teaching – she's a doctor you know…" The silver haired man crowed with fatherly pride. "She's been teaching there but after little Edgar, my grandson was born she wanted to be back home." He gave Gibbs a bittersweet smile "She came here because she felt safe and ended up being abducted."

"Is the father the same guy that took her?"

"It can't be she was in Bethesda when she became pregnant, she never said who the father was – only that he was another doctor but Alberts was afloat at that time and he's certainly not a doctor."

"Wait. Your daughter is navy too?"

"Not a anymore she got in trouble after she set a dead patient on fire. She was really down for a while poor girl but Edgar really made things better for her. Alberts had known her at Med school he dropped out blamed her for distracing him…that son of a bitch – he'd been after her but she never wanted him. We thought we'd never see him again."

Gibbs ran his hand through his hair. Sure enough the photo on the mantel piece was of the man opposite him and who he knew as commander Janice Byers, the cardio surgeon Ducky had fallen for. He hoped to god he would have to bring her body to Ducky, he was hurt enough when she decided to leave after messing up. His thoughts were interrupted by Arthur's cell ringing.

"Put it on speaker."

Arthur nodded and set the cell on speaker. "Yes"

"I'm sorry Arthur" It was Alberts "But don't worry she's with me…she will be forever. We'll be a family- "

"Listen you son of a bitch…" Arthur started but Gibbs put up his hand, Abby was probably tracing the call as they spoke. "Look just get her and Edgar back."

"Do you know how long I have waited for this Mr Byers?!" Alberts was getting agitated "You never approved of me but I made it. I made it she is with me."

Arthur gave Gibbs a helpless look…this was a hell of a situation.
