Two things – One I love NCIS
Two I will say now that my spelling and grammar are not always great
Gibbs was half asleep when he arrived at the office. It was the anniversary of his family's murder and that always put him in a bad mood, so when Vance's first words were "Jethro my office now" he knew it was going to be a rough day. Vance told him to sit and then started pacing. "Last night a group of navy seals was sent into a deep Russian prison to rescue one of the CIA's informants who had been captured. They were wearing cameras to video if any other prisoners came as an interest to the us. All the heads plus a few extra members were called in to watch the video early this morning. When I watched I realized I saw someone that should not have been possible to see. I want you to watch and verify the prisoner is who I believe it to be before we take action.
Gibbs sat and watched as prisoner after prisoner went by then the camera landed on a woman. Even covered in dust and grime and thinner then Gibbs had ever seen her he recognized the women. He stood looking directly at Vance and said "I'm pulling my team off the table, I want you to say we are going for advanced training we fly out tonight to Paris. "
"Gibbs you know we don't work like that we will contact the seals and get them back in there but I can't send you guys in. "
"You're not, I will give them the option to stay behind but I feel they will want to come. Are you really going to stop me? "
"Not this time but you better be careful"
Three hours later Gibbs, Ducky, McGee, and bishop were on a plain headed for Paris. Abby was going to take the train from London and meet them at the airport so they could head to their first destination together. Torres had stayed behind to work on everything state side. When they arrived at the airport Abby ran to hug Gibbs and the rest of the team.
"ok, what's so important that you needed me to leave immediately from my meetings in London to be your driver and why are you all here.
"Abby, Let's get where we are going and I will explain. You have the address correct. "
"Yes, I visited last month when his father had the heart attack. He's doing ok but really shouldn't we call first."
"no" Gibbs replied
As they rode in the van that Abby had rented toward there destination she asked for updates.
McGee went first "Delilah stayed behind of course Sarah's helping her watch the twins. Sarah's been great these last few weeks helping out and watching the kids. :
"oh, that's so good to hear what about you Ducky?"
"I am well my dear looking forward to my retirement at the end of the year"
Gibbs shook his head and said "how much longer Abb's?"
"We are almost there how about you Ellie?"
"I'm fine Abb's just working and before you ask no I am not dating anyone."
Abby nodded and looked at Gibbs "I know I know but I miss everyone"
Gibbs nods as they pull up to a little house just on the outskirts of Paris. A man in a wheelchair was sitting at a table watching a five-year-old girl play on a tire swing. As they came to a stop a good-looking man came out of the front door of the house. He saw the vehicle and started to walk toward it. As they all got out, he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Boss, what are you doing here with everyone."
"Denozo we need to talk to you in private for a few minutes Ellie will wait out here with your father rand Tali. "
He looked at his father who waved a hand at them and said" JR, Go I will be fine they can't have come all this way just for something small. "
Tony led the group into his living room which was covered with toys.
"Sorry about the mess Boss. Tali had a play group here this morning and I was going to clean it up after I made lunch."
"Tony, it's fine but you're going to want to sit down for what he's about to tell you" Replied McGee
Tony Sat down and looked up at them. Gibbs knew this information would turn his world upside down but he also knew it needed to be said.
"a night ago, a group of Navy seals went into a Russian prison to free a CIA informant. This prison which is near the border of Israel in Syria is an old Russian prison that are troops were only able to access because of our current dealing with Syria. The prison is about 20 minutes north of the Teli Shihab Waterfalls. As they were going thru the prison, they videotaped all the prisoners so that we could see if we recognized any other USA informants. One prisoner caught Vance's eyes as he was going over the footage.
McGee pulled a photo out of the folder he was holding and handed it to Denozo. Abby sat down beside him to look and as soon as her eyes saw the picture her hands flew to her mouth. Tony's Shoulders stiffened at the same time tears started flowing down his Face.
"I knew, I knew there was no way she could be dead I just knew it. When do you go to get her?"
McGee looked startled "Tony your saying your not coming with us‽ "
Tony nodded and looked at Gibbs as he Said "Tali, needs me even though I want to help I can't for her sake. If we were to fail, she would be all alone. So, No I am not going but I expect you to Bring Tali her mother home. Bring Ziva back to me. "
Then in that moment Gibbs smiled for the first time in days.
