Chapter 1

Gibbs put the phone down. "Gear up. McGee, gas the car. Tony, get Abby up here." He started up the stairs to the Director's office.

"Where're we goin' boss?" Tony asked.

"New York," Gibbs said as he topped the stairs.

The three agents looked at each other and shrugged then went to do as they were told.

"What have you got?" Detective Fin Tutuola asked his partner.

Detective John Munch turned with his notepad in hand. "Female victim, assaulted, on her way to the hospital. Husband's overseas and her daughter is missing. Lanie Ness, 32, told the officers responding to the 911 call that there was a knock at her door. Mrs. Ness didn't recognize the man so she didn't answer. When the door knob was rattled, she sent her daughter to lock herself in her room. She called 911 and armed herself with a baseball bat. Says she got a good shot in on his shoulder before he took the bat from her and used her as a punching bag. When she came to, the cops were here and her daughter was gone."

Fin looked around. He spotted the family portrait over the fireplace. "Munch, look."

Munch nodded. "She fits the pattern of the other missing girls. Caucasian, 8 to 10 years old, red hair."

"If this is the same, we've got three days tops before we find her body somewhere." Fin said. "Let's go talk to the Captain."

Munch followed him out of the apartment holding a snapshot of the daughter in his hands. They would need it for bulletins and Amber alerts.

Fin and Munch arrived back at the precinct to find Captain Cragen in a meeting. "We've got another missing girl," Finn said then asked, "Who are they?"

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler walked over to the board where Munch was taping Lael Ness's picture.

"We don't know. They walked in and went straight in the office with the Captain," Olivia said.

"They're NCIS."

Four sets of eyes turned to see a young woman with jet black hair pulled up into pigtails standing there. She wore red lipstick, a black t-shirt, plaid mini-skirt and knee-high platform boots.

Munch was skeptical…he was always skeptical. "How do you know?"

"I'm with them. My name's Abby Sciuto, Forensic Scientist for NCIS."

"You're a forensic scientist?" Elliot asked.

"Yes she is," an older man said from behind her.

The woman smiled. "It's ok Ducky. You know how most people react to me when we first meet."

"Yes, Abigail, but that doesn't excuse rudeness," the man she called Ducky said.

The four SVU detectives looked at each other. Elliot's words were lost as Captain Cragen opened his door and the four people in his office strode out.

Cragen came over to the board. "We've got help on this latest case," he told his detectives. "This is NCIS Special Agents Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee and Officer David. They're going to help us with this and with any luck we'll find the missing girl and nail this perp before anything happens."

Special Agent Gibbs was staring at the picture of the latest kidnapped girl. His jaw clenched once before he began giving orders.

"McGee, Ziva, you two go to the hospital and talk to the mother. DiNozzo and I will examine the crime scene. We'll meet back here in a few hours. Abby, you get to their lab and see what you can do to rush whatever tests they are running. Ducky…"

"I know Jethro, talk to the local ME and see what has been determined about the previous victims."

Cragen looked at his team. "As I said, we'll be assisting on this. Olivia, go with the agents to the hospital. Elliot, you're with Agent's Gibbs and DiNozzo at the crime scene. Munch, take Ms. Sciuto to the lab."

"And I take Ducky to see the ME?" Fin asked.

Cragen nodded. "We've got less than three days people, let's move.

"So, how long have you been with NCIS?" Munch asked and Abby grinned.

"Going on eight years now." She saw the look on his face as he took in her state of dress. "They believe in allowing me to be comfortable as to enhance the productivity of my work."

With a small smile, Munch motioned for her to precede him out of the elevator.

"So how long have you been a cop?" she asked him as he led her down the hall to the lab.

"A lot longer than eight years," was Munch's reply. He opened the door for her and the tech on duty looked up.

"I don't have any results yet, Detective, we just got these samples."

"That's why I've brought you help. Evan, this is Abby, she's with NCIS and she'll be helping you process any and everything on the Ness case. Captain's orders."

Evan stared at Abby for a moment before her smile won him over. "Ok, nice to meet you Abby."

"What are you working on?" she asked him.

They started talking about evidence and Munch left them to their work.

Ducky was walking alongside Detective Tutuola and asked, "Are your friends upstairs always so quick to judge?"

Fin looked at the older man and frowned a bit. "We're detectives, Doc. We don't always keep on the sunny side of things. We mainly deal with dirtbags you wouldn't look twice at and we have a habit of looking at people with suspicion. Munch is always that way, looking for conspiracies and stuff. We don't mean to offend anyone, it just happens that way."

Ducky nodded. "Of course. Having worked with Abigail these past eight years I've become quite accustomed to her ways and quirks. It sometimes takes me a moment to remember why people look at her strangely."

Fin nodded. "Yeah, I get that with Munch a lot."

They entered the morgue and Fin cleared his throat. "Dr. Warner, this is …"

"Ducky!"

"Melinda! It is so wonderful to see you again. It's been what?"

"Three years since the last conference we were at together," Melinda Warner said.

"I finally get to work with you," Ducky said and then he frowned. "However, these aren't the best circumstances for that to happen."

Melinda smiled. "I know what you mean Ducky, but really with what we do, is there really a time where the circumstances are good?"

Ducky looked at Fin and smiled once more. "She's quite smart you know?"

"Yeah and we're thankful for it."
