Faith moved her body to the music as she ran her hands over herself. She was currently alone in the lab where her dear friend Abby Sciuto worked. When she had arrived in D.C. the day before she made plans to visit her friend, but Abby was always working. So this time she decided to surprise her with a trip to her work. However, Faith had known little of where her friend worked until she showed up today.

For anyone else getting in it would have been hard. But she had a way with persuasion, especially that of the male gender. So it wasn't long before she was walking down the halls of the NCIS building to her friend's lab.

Right now Abby was in another part of the building doing or getting something. Which left her alone in the lab. Playing the good girl she simply took out her phone, popped in her earbuds, and cranked up her music. Which is why she was now dancing alone.

Even though her body was into the music her senses were ablaze with everything going on in the building. It had been tricky coming here. For there was always someone after her at some point in time or another. She knew she had hidden her presence from most beings. But there were a select few people she couldn't magically mask herself from. She just hoped they didn't try to come after her anytime soon. She didn't want to give herself away to her friend.

Abby was on a list of humans Faith kept as friends. She normally stayed away from them due to her true side, but she couldn't stay away from Abby. So here she was.

She was enjoying this time to relax her body with dance, when she was interrupted. Before she even turned around she felt two people behind her. When she finally did turn around she came face to face with two men gawking at her. Suddenly another walked up behind them and smack them upside the head. Abby smirked as she walked passed everyone to get to her computer. Faith did her best to hide the smirk on her lips as she pulled her earbuds out.

"Abby?" the one that did the smacking said. Even though he only said one word she could here the question behind it. He wanted to know who she was and what she was doing here.

"Oh right. Sorry Gibbs. Gibbs, Tony, McGee. This is Faith. Faith this is Gibbs, Tony, and McGee. Faith is a friend of mine from way back when," Abby said as she pointed to each person in turn.

"Well I would like to think we were more then friends for a while there." Faith smirked playfully.

Abby smirked back before turning to her computer.

Faith could see the thoughts of Tony and McGee and how they were trying to figure out in which way she had meant. Gibbs on the other hand didn't seem to bite. Judging by his thoughts the silver fox known as Gibbs was more of a respectable man. Though respectable or not a man was a man, and if there was one thing Faith had been good at before and after her life had changed it was the ability to take any man and get them to fall prey to her every whim. She knew getting Tony and McGee would be easy, but Gibbs. That was another story. A challenge almost. And she loved challenges.

She tuned out what was being said by everyone as she wondered the lab. She felt the watchful eyes of Gibbs on her at all times. He didn't trust her. Which was alright because she didn't trust him either. Sure Abby held the man in high regard, but that didn't mean shit to her. The only people she trusted was the ones that had proven to her that she could trust them. And she highly doubted she was going to be here long enough for such a thing to happen with Abby's friends.

She was still wondering the lab when she felt something...off. Someone was coming, and they weren't friendly. The problem was she couldn't tell yet if they were humans or not. Or who their target was.

"Fuck me," she grumbled to herself as the power cut off.

She wasn't sure what to do, if this was an attack on her she would have to either fight or get captured. If it wasn't she could not fight, and risk getting captured still or fight and well hurt a lot of humans. Innocent or not she tried her best not to hurt humans.

Now was not yet the time to worry about that. She had to act as human as possible, so she pretended to be worried about what was going on. Asking things like if this was normal and so on. But really she was mentally checking herself to see how many weapons she had on her. The answer was not as many as she would like, but she would deal.

The next question was what part would she play in what was going on? Did she try to sneak past silver fox and fight? Or stay here and play helpless girl as was likely expected of her. She really didn't want to act all helpless. Mostly because it made her look that way. But if she did fight, she had to be careful of the people in the building. She couldn't get caught. Luckily the lights were out, which helped her some. The important one was her favorite Jackal knife, that someone very special had given her.

As soon as the lights had gone out the guys in the room were on their toes. Reaching for their guns and looking around. Gibbs told Abby to lock her door behind them and not answer it for anyone. No one spoke to her though. It was likely assumed she would do the same as Abby. So she stayed quiet as they ran out of the room, with Abby locking the door behind them. Guess now she couldn't just "slip" out. Abby would surely notice if she turned up missing.

"I'm so sorry this happened Faith," Abby said in her comforting tone.

"It's cool Abs. You know how I thrive on action." Faith wiggled her eyebrows but Abby frowned. So she went over and hugged her.

"Maybe we should move away from the door, just in case you know."

She knew they would try to bust in through the door, she could feel it, the question was how they would do it.

Nodding Abby moved them away from the door over to her computer. "Maybe I can see what's going on from our cameras," she mumbled to herself.

But Faith was focusing on the door. Someone was coming. And they were not Tony, Gibbs, or Mc...whatever his name was. She heard Abby say something about the cameras being out. Go figure. She wasn't really paying attention though. She was counting heartbeats. Abby was one. Then there was about three on the other side of the door. No four. Now three again. So they weren't good guys. It was a few minutes later that two of the heartbeats took off. They must have been helping the one with something.

As Abby kept rambling off she moved back from where she was standing. After about three steps the door blew up. She took the chance to jump up onto a table before using the momentum to jump into a ceiling corner. A good place to hide, while she waited for the perfect time to attack their attacker. Luckily she was more than a vampire.

She heard more heartbeats come running down the hall, but she didn't pay attention to that. She was more focused on the man coming into the lab. The man was dressed for action and had a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other. Which he was moving back and forth, that is until he spotted Abby laying on the ground.

As he slowly made his way over to her Faith grabbed her Jackal knife from it's hiding place in her boots, and placed it between her teeth. When the timing was right she silently jumped down and snuck up behind him. Right as he was about to shoot Abby she placed her hand over his mouth and slit his throat. Hearing something behind her she spun around to see none other than Gibbs. Luckily he hadn't seen everything. Just her saving Abby from being killed. His respect for her seemed to go up some, but she wasn't paying attention to that. She was watching the shadows behind him.

When she noticed the figure moving behind him wasn't friendly she grabbed a throwing knife from her boot and in one swift motion tossed it. Gibbs only had time to bring his gun up, for he thought she had thrown it at him, but then he noticed he hadn't been hit and turned around to see a guy with a knife in his head. She could almost feel his trust in her rising.

"Get Abby down to Ducky. I will take care of these fools," Faith said moving past him and grabbing her knife out of the dead body. She didn't give him time to respond. Sure she wasn't "supposed" to do this, but she was tired of playing games. And yes she had killed two humans. But fuck it was kind of hard not to. What was she gonna do, let them kill others? No. Enough people were dying as it was. Plus Abby would have been heartbroken if Gibbs had died like that.

She moved silently down that hall, like a deadly shadow. It wasn't that hard for her to blend in with the shadows. A benefit of being a vampire. The shadows were your friend. Allowing you to hide in their cover to stalk your prey without being seen or heard.

She did her best to not kill anyone, sticking to stabbing them in places that stopped them, but didn't kill them. Though in most cases she wasn't so lucky. She was going down a hallway when she heard a fight between two people. One seemed to be a not so good guy. Which means the other was someone that worked here. She wasn't going to get involved but the not so good guy knocked the gun away from the other. Not wanting anymore of the people Abby worked with to die, Faith moved over with vampire speed. She grabbed the guy and tossed him into the wall. The guy bounced back and tried to hit her with a right uppercut, but she blocked it. She hit him with a left uppercut to his ribs, a right to his face, then she snapped the humans neck like it was nothing. She then picked up the fallen gun and turned to hand it back to the guy she had saved. The face that greeted her was none other than Mc...whatever his name was.

"Thank you," he said in his boyish voice.

She could see his surprise in what she did and how she moved. God how many of these guys was she going save tonight? She then heard something very disturbing from down below, where the morgue was. She pushed passed whatshisface and made her way down stairs. She kicked open the door to the hallway that lead to the morgue, not wanting to bother taking her time. When she got to the room in question she saw Abby and Tony, but no one else. Knowing she couldn't get in the human way she glanced around. No one could see her where she was standing, she just hoped there was some kind of room that was out of sight. Knowing it was her best bet she teleported to what appeared to be bathroom, or wash room of some sort. She then made her way slowly into the room, keeping to the shadows.

By the sound of things a couple of people had been taken by some of the men. Tony had been taking Abby down here when more men showed up, as they had been planning on using this as their way in and out.

Faith knew with all the men in here she couldn't only use a knife and her speed. She need a long range weapon. In her other boot she pulled out a standard knife. Placing her hand on the hilt she sent magic from her hand into the blade as she ran her hand up it. Now she had a nice, long sword. Closing her eyes for a moment she took a second to herself. Why was she doing this? Oh ya, to protect Abby and the one she cared about. Opening her eyes she then moved into the main area. Keeping her sword hidden behind her leg.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Faith said, clearly interrupting everything going on in the room, but she wanted to make her presence known. Sure Tony had a gun, but these men had bigger guns. Plus there was more of them. While she, on the other hand, moved like a shadow. Tony and Abby were shouting at her to get out of there, and the men before her were just shouting. Getting bored she struck out with her sword, stabbing the closest person in the chest. Which of course got everyone's attention.

Everything exploded after that. Most of the attacks were on her, which she took in stride. Though she had some back up. Every now and then she would hear a gun go off and see someone that was about to shoot her fall to the ground. But it seemed for every person she killed there were about five more to take their places. It seemed like everyone upstairs was coming down here to try to kill her. Which was fine with her, at this point she didn't care that she was killing humans. It was all in self defense anyway.

She moved and spun her way through the mass of people. Using her natural fighting skills and her vampire speed to keep her from getting hurt too much. Not that she didn't get shot or even stabbed here and there, for she did. But nothing too bad to where it slowed her down. Hell she could have gone all day if something hadn't stopped her.

She was facing the direction of Tony and Abby, and had killed a man and glanced up at them when she noticed someone had a gun to Abby's head and a few men had Tony cornered with their guns. Utterly annoyed by this bitch ass move Faith moved to do something until the guy holding Abby pressed his gun closer to her neck. Ah so this was to get her to stop. Well damn, it worked. She sighed and looked around. Still too many guys. At this point it seemed like if she moved everyone with a gun would shoot, which means Abby and Tony could still get hurt.

"Alright fine you want to play that game so be it. I'll stop killing all your men and you let them, plus the other two you took, go," Faith said.

"Und warum denkst du höhren wir auf dich?"(And what makes you think we are going to listen to you? ) the man said in German.

Well no wonder she never understood their babble before. She wasn't paying attention to figure out what language they were speaking in. She smirked and looked around. Clearly they understood English though.

"Well for one, until now you're ass were being handed to you by me."

"sie starben für ihr land." ( They died for their country. )

"Ya ok. How about this. I'm worth a lot of money to several very wealthy people. Alive. If you let them go and leave the building you can take me with you and once we get to your hideout I can give you the name of said people and you can get paid."

"Faith no!" Abby shouted, but she ignored her.

"wie viel geld?" (How much money?)

"Let me put it this way, you could have retired at the age of 5." Faith wasn't lying either, though the people that had that kind of money that wanted her alive would kill these men as soon as they had her, but she wasn't going to tell them that part. For once she got out of here she was doing things her way.

"Wie können wir wissen, dass sie nicht versuchen, dich zu retten?" ( How can we know that they won't try to save you? ) The man nodded his head towards Tony.

"Cause I mean nothing to them. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Well for you anyway." She smirked. "Do we have a deal?" She watched as the man looked at a few of his other men. Then he sighed.

"Schnappt euch das Mädchen, dann lasst die zwei gehen!" ( Grab the girl, then let them go! ) he shouted.

Two bulky guys then grabbed Faith by the arms. She didn't fight them. Not because she couldn't take them, but she wanted to protect Abby and her friends. At times like this she regretted still having a soul.

She growled as someone hit the back of her legs, causing her knees to buckle. The man that had a hold of Abby let her go and tossed her to towards DiNozzo. From the look of things they both seemed to be fine. Though Tony had a few scraps. Nothing that couldn't be fixed she was sure.

The main german man walked over to her then. When he was sure she was secure he sent two men to bring the others back in. She watched the man and he watched her. After a few minutes the others were let go. She breathed an internal sigh of relief. At least everyone Abby cared about was safe. The man then got most of his people out. When it was down to him, the ones holding her and a few others he looked towards Tony.

"You follow us and she gets a bullet in her head," he said. His German accent strong.

The guys were starting to drag her out when low behold Captain America, aka Gibbs, showed up. His gun held high.

"Let her go," Gibbs said.

The man that seemed to be in charge raised his gun also.

"Nein. She offered herself up for these four," he nodded towards the others.

"Don't come after me. I'll be fine," Faith said. Hoping her friend would listen to her and not try and get her back. She could see the look in Gibbs eyes as she was dragged the rest of the way out of the room and then the building. He wondered why she would do something like that for them, when she had no reason to.

That was the last thing she saw before she was dragged outside and into a fan where a bag was placed over her head while someone else tied her hands behind her back.

"Can't have you trying anything now can we?" German guy said.

Faith ignored the question. She could still do damage, but was still too close to the NCIS building for her comfort. She would have to wait until they got to where ever they were headed.
