I was a mistake to be born. I knew and understood that even at the age of eight. My mom gave me my birth and then a day later dropped me off at the orphanage too afraid to admit her mistake.

So now here I am a little girl on a mission to find my parents. The only problem is there both dead. Dad shot mom in the head and then my aunt shot him a few days later.

But considering my dad was a terrorist that everyone wanted dead I'm not sure how to feel. Maybe instead of ditching my mom and staying to raise me with her as a team my life would be happier.

Ok so maybe Julie my caretaker won't tell me who dropped me off but it's pretty obvious. Considering her age to have been twenty-six when she died when I was born she was eighteen so I was just in the way.

My mom did give me two gifts before she left though. One was a locket with her picture inside and the other was my name. She called me Sarah.

Last night I had found this all out sneaking into Julie's office and searching through my documents. I found a Caitlin Todd to be my mother and now worked at NCIS. The forms kept being updated by looking at the dates.

So maybe my mom did love me and fate was supposed to bring us together by dad destroyed that. Now I'm glad he's dead and as the Taxi pulls up to a white building with "Naval Criminal Investigative Service" inscribed on the front I knew I had found the right place.

I clutched a small letter I found with the documents. On the cover was written Anthony, my only wish was that he knew mom and that he would be willing to help me.

I walked inside to a big room with bright orange walls. Really I felt like I was that boy James in his giant peach, I mean whoever chose this color should be fired.

I walked further into the room to find four people at computers. I stood at the end felling nervous till a man looked up. He smiled at me and my heart thumped, the man was super cute.

"Hello may I help you?" he asked and even his voice was heaven. For a second my throat closed up and I couldn't speak. I told myself to calm down though and took a deep breath.

"Hi, I'm looking for someone named Anthony" I said and the man smiled again. "That would be me young lady," he said and I couldn't believe my good luck.

I handed him the letter and for a minute I noticed him look at it nervously. I guess someone sent him a nasty letter or maybe some sort of plague but I couldn't think about that as he already opened the envelope.

He opened the letter and his eyes scanned the paper a few minutes before he looked up and stared at me. An older gentleman walked over and I guess he was the boss as Anthony handed over the letter.

The boss man read the letter and then he too stared at me as the two other people came over. The letter then was passed first to a guy with really short hair and then to a young woman who stood behind me. By the time both finished I now had four sets of eyes staring at me.

I started to get really nervous and so took the letter from the woman and ran off. The man named Anthony followed and grabbed my arm as I reached some stairs.

"I'm sorry," I said quickly and then before I knew it I started crying and the I felt his strong arms encircle me. He knelt to his knees and I hugged his neck. After a few minutes I calmed down and he pulled me away to look into my brown eyes.

"Sarah, its okay if Kate really is your mom this letter asks me to care for you, is that all right?" I nodded but then looked at him confused. "What do you mean if?" I asked and got that beautiful smile again.

"Well I'm going to go through Kate's old desk which now may be your Aunt's to see if I can find anything with her print and then well match her DNA to you" he said and I smiled.

We held hands and walked back to the small group together. Tony walked to mom's desk and opened a drawer. While he looked around I was introduced to the others. The boss man held out his hand I shook it. "Sarah my name is LJ Gibbs I used to work with Kate she was amazing" he said and I smiled.

Then the short haired guy held out his hand and we shook. "Tim McGee, Kate was an angel," he said and I laughed.

My aunt went last. "Ziva David, I may not have know Kate but your dad and I were siblings" she said and I nodded.

"Yeah but he was a bad man from the reports I read" I said and Ziva smiled and stroked my cheek.

Tony then shot up with a few items and took my hand and raced off to a lab. Fortunately all we had to do was ride the elevator and we found a lab with music blaring loudly. A girl in pigtails was spinning in a chair looking bored.

She smiled though when she saw she had company. Tony went over and whispered in her ear and the showed her the letter. The girl smiled even brighter and in probably less then five minutes scanned both prints into her computer

She then turned to me and we shook hands "names Abby" she said as the computer beeped. "That was fast" I said impressed and Abby smiled.

She pulled up her data and it was confirmed I really was Sarah Michelle Todd and my new life was about to begin as everyone smiled kindly at me
