Greetings! If you are reading this authors note, you must want to read my first ever FanFiction story. Great!
Few points of information first. In this universe, Ziva left the team, but came back to DC with Tony and they got married. Bishop still joins the team and still divorces Jake. Bishop and Ziva are good friends, because I can really see that happening if Ziva and Bishop ever met. Characters might be a bit OOC, but I think I got it as close as I could. Regular updates will happen every Tuesday and Friday.
This is on a site called FanFiction, so I don't own NCIS or Frozen, but boy I wish I did.
Reviews welcome! Enjoy and I hope you like it!

Chapter 1
The family of four laughed together as the came out of the theater. Further down the street, a couple walked, arms around each other as they laughed. The family of four approached the curb to cross to their car when a black van roared around the corner, squealing to a stop in front of them. Three masked men jumped out with shiny chrome plated 1911s.
"Get in the van," one of them growled, covering the parents as the other two grabbed the two sisters of the family.
The couple further down the road looked up and the male; a tall brown haired, muscular framed man with kind forest green eyes, began to run over as the two girls were being torn away from their parents. He drew his own weapon, a FN Five-Seven, and trained it on the gun wielding kidnappers.
"Hey!" he barked, "US Navy SEAL, drop your weapons and let the girls go!"
The kidnapper holding the parents at gunpoint turned and as he pointed the silver weapon at the SEAL, the warrior opened fire. Three rapid thunderclaps sounded as the SEAL put two into the gunman's heart and one to the head. The 5.7mm polymer tipped rounds punched clean through the gunman, spraying gore all over the side of the van. The other two trained their weapons on the SEAL, the one holding the younger girl firing. The .45 round punched into a tree and the SEAL returned fire with a single shot that landed directly between the kidnapper's eyes.
The final kidnapper ducked behind the eldest girl with his weapon aimed at the SEAL. He slowly edged her toward the open door of the van as the younger girl lay frozen on the sidewalk. The SEAL advanced slowly keeping his weapon trained on the girl. Suddenly the kidnapper threw her into the van and jumped in. The SEAL surged after them and fired again three times, catching the visible kidnapper in the cabin. A gun barrel poked out the window and rapid cracks of automatic fire sounded as the SEAL leapt into the van. The girl's parents jerked as they went down, the gunfire tearing into them.
On the inside of the van, the SEAL punched the nearest kidnapper hard in the throat. As he was about to grab the girl and dive out then van with her, a sixth kidnapper rammed a stun gun into the side of his neck as the side door closed. The SEAL jerked and snapped off five shots that went through the wind shield. The driver turned and fired a single round into the SEAL, the bullet slamming into his shoulder. The van tore off as the SEAL went down, leaving the younger of the two sisters lying on the sidewalk, terrified sobs racking her frame. Her parents lay a few feet away, the pool of blood spreading slowly as sirens drew closer.
The woman who had been accompanying the SEAL ran up with a gasp at the scene in front of her. She slowly approached the girl and the girl suddenly leapt up and wrapped her arms around the woman. The girl stayed clutching tight to the woman as a man in a tieless suit and long coat ran out of the theater with a Sig Sauer P226 raised. His eyes held urgency in them as he rushed out, sweeping the area with his Sig.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" He asked as he holstered the weapon.
The woman nodded and drew a shaky breath.
"Please help me, my name in Taylor Conrad," she started, "There was a kidnapping. My boyfriend, he tried to stop it and save the other girl, but they took him."
"Ok, ma'am," the man started, "I'm NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, who was your boyfriend?"
"Master Chief Petty Officer Echo Carter," she replied with a shaky breath, "He's a Navy SEAL."
The man's eyes went wide as he pulled out his phone. He dialed and after one ring the line was picked up.
"Hey, Boss," the man started, "A Navy SEAL just tried to stop a kidnapping and got taken with."
He paused before giving the details to his boss. After he was finished he put the phone away and turned back to Taylor.
"Could you wait on the steps while I deal with the police?" McGee asked as the police arrived.
She nodded and whispered comfort to the little girl clinging to her while McGee met the police and explained the situation. Within the hour, more NCIS agents arrived with a medical examiner. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, an older agent with salt and pepper hair, walked up to McGee, his trademark coffee in hand.
"What have we got McGee?" he asked.
"US Navy SEAL Master Chief Petty Officer Echo Carter intervened in the kidnapping of two girls," McGee started, "It appears he opened fire and killed at least two of the kidnappers, saving the youngest girl. The girls' parents were killed in the attack and the SEAL got taken with."
"That all you got, McProbie?" the teams Senior Field Agent, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo commented with a cheesy grin.
"I've been coordinating with local LEOs," McGee said to Gibbs, ignoring Tony's comment, "A patrol car had a black van cut him off, but the patrol didn't see it to well. They were preoccupied with responding to the shots fired."
"She looks familiar," Tony started, pointing to the woman McGee.
"She's the SEAL's girlfriend," McGee said as the teams probationary agent, Special Agent Ellie Bishop joined them, "Taylor Conrad.'
Her eyes went wide as she pieced together the conversation.
"You're kidding," she said in an excited whisper, "She's a world famous singer."
"Yeah, I know," McGee replied, his voice low, "I haven't had a chance to interview her yet, Boss. The little girl hasn't left her yet and is really upset."
"Bishop, DiNozzo," Gibbs barked, "Shoot and sketch."
"On it Boss," Tony affirmed and went to work.
Gibbs and McGee made their way to were the SEAL's girlfriend sat with the young girl. The girl still clung tightly to the girlfriend, her cerulean eyes wide with shock.
"Special Agent Gibbs, NCIS," Gibbs started, "Miss Conrad?"
The singer looked up at Gibbs, fear and apprehension in her eyes.
"We need to ask you a few questions, if that's alright?" Gibbs said as he sat next to her, "What's your name little one?"
The little girl shifted on the singers shoulder.
"My name's Anna, Special Agent Gibbs," she replied a little distantly.
Gibbs smiled and looked at the silver snowflake bracelet.
"That's a really pretty bracelet Anna," Gibbs said softly.
"My sister got it for me," Anna said, tears in her voice, "Are you going to find my sister Agent Gibbs?"
Gibbs nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Anna," he replied, "I am. Do you want to come with me and tell me about your sister?"
Anna nodded and let go of the singer enough to let Gibbs take her. She immediately clung to Gibbs as he carried her out of earshot of McGee.
"He's really good with kids," the singer said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, he is," he said before turning serious, "Miss Conrad…"
She shook her head and held up a hand.
"Please call me Taylor," she said with a faint smile, "Miss Conrad sounds…strange."
McGee smiled at her as he pulled out a notepad.
"Alright," he stated, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Taylor drew a shuddery breath.
"Echo and I were walking to the theater from dinner," she said, her voice strained, "It, ah, it's been a year since we started dating again and he just got back from a mission, so we were spending the night out together."
"Dating again?" McGee asked.
"We went to high school together," she replied, "We dated most of our senior years of high school after he stood up to this idiot who was tormenting me about my singing. We broke it off because of a…unfortunate misunderstanding."
"If I may, what was the misunderstanding?" McGee asked and Taylor chuckled.
"This other girl was talking trash about how good Echo was in bed and I confronted him without giving him a chance to explain," Taylor said sadly, "He just accepted it and went into the Navy with a broken heart."
She took another breath to calm herself as tears welled in her eyes.
"Anyway, as we were walking, this black van pulled up and three guys with shiny silver guns got out. Two of them grabbed the girls and the third guy pointed his at the parents. Echo just drew his gun and told me to wait by the tree before he stormed up," she paused, taking a deep breath, "He announced himself as a SEAL before the guy with the parents turned to him. He…he shot him and the guy with Anna shot back before Echo killed him."
She let out a single strangled sob before composing herself.
"The other guy then threw Anna's sister in the van and Echo followed. He fired three times at the driver, but I don't think he hit him, because the van drove off just after someone in the cabin gunned down the girl's parents, then six more shots went off before the door closed," Taylor finished with a sob, "And the van tore off."
McGee nodded and pulled out a packet of tissues, handing it to Taylor before flipping to a new page in his notebook.
"Did you see any defining features of the van?" McGee asked when Taylor had composed herself.
"After each of the four shots, there were sparks on the right front end of the van," she said softly, "I'm not sure of the license plate, but I think it was X-ray – Whiskey – Charlie – 9 – 1 – 5 – 6 and the left side window was probably shot out if Echo missed."
McGee nodded as he wrote it all down. Taylor shivered in the cool air and drew her jacket around her.
"Thanks Taylor," McGee said gently as Gibbs arrived back with Anna clutching onto him, "Hey Boss, could we do Taylor's statement back at the Navy Yard?"
Gibbs nodded as he set Anna down.
"Hey, Anna," Gibbs said, kneeling to the little girl, "Do you want to wait with Miss Conrad in Special Agent McGee's car?"
Anna nodded and rubbed her eyes as Taylor stood up and picked up the little girl. McGee smiled at them before leading them to his car which was parked right outside the crime scene tape. Gibbs walked over to Tony and Bishop as Ducky arrived to examine the bodies.
"Hey Duck," Gibbs greeted as he leafed to a new page in his notebook.
"Ah, Jethro," the medical examiner; Doctor Donald Mallard, more affectionately known as Ducky to his coworkers, greeted, "What have you got for me?"
"Haven't touched the body yet, Ducky," Tony started, "They were gunned down after their eldest daughter was kidnapped along with a Navy SEAL who intervened and prevented their youngest from getting taken."
"Oh dear," Ducky said as he knelt to examine the bodies, "Let's see what we have."
His assistant, Mr. Jimmy Palmer, knelt next to him as they went to work.
"Looks like cause of death was multiple high caliber gunshots to the chest," Palmer said as he looked up at Ducky.
"That would be correct, Mr. Palmer," Ducky said as he pulled a wallet from the woman and handed it to Bishop, "Help me roll her."
As they did so, Bishop went through the wallet.
"No exit wounds," Ducky proclaimed as they reset the body, "Possibly hollow point bullets."
"Looks like automatic fire," Palmer said as he handed Tony the wallet from the man, "Which would suggest then that it was a .45 caliber weapon."
"What makes you say that Mr. Palmer?" Ducky asked, testing his assistant.
"Well, the wounds line up rather well, as if they were strafed," Palmer explained, "If they had been individually targeted, the wounds would be more grouped together on each body and the largest automatic caliber I know of is a .45."
"Very good, Mr. Palmer," Ducky said with a smile, "Let's get them into the body bags, we can come back for the other two."
"Finally, got an ID," Bishop said with a sigh, "Woman is Ingrid Aren, 44."
"Guy is an Arthur Aren," Tony said, "46. Aren, sounds familiar."
"The Arens?" McGee asked in disbelief as he joined them, "You're serious?"
"Why, did you know them Tim?" Bishop asked.
"Not personally," he replied, "They were the founders of the publishing house I switched to for the later books of the Deep Six series."
Tony snapped his fingers.
"That's why the name sounded familiar," he said with a chuckle.
"What did you get from our witness McGee?" Gibbs asked as Ducky arrived back to examine the other two bodies.
"The witness, Taylor Conrad, and Master Chief Petty Officer Echo Carter were walking down the street when a black van pulled up and three armed men got out. They grabbed the two girls and our SEAL intervened. He killed one of them before the second shot back. He killed the second, freeing Anna and the third threw the eldest into the van. MCPO Carter jumped into the van and fired three more times into the driver's side of the cab. Girlfriend thinks he missed, because the van drove off. As the van drove off, six more shots went off inside the van."
Gibbs nodded as Ducky knelt next to the body.
"Also Boss, Taylor says that there were sparks on the right front side of the van after each of MCPO Carters first four shots," McGee finished, "She got a plate too, says she thinks it was X-ray – Whiskey – Charlie – 9 – 1 – 5 – 6."
"Get a BOLO out McGee," Gibbs replied as he knelt next to Ducky.
"These two died very much the same way," Ducky said as he examined the neat entry wounds on each of the would-be kidnappers with a frown, "Small caliber, and high velocity. I would expect this kind of wound to come from rifle ammunition rather than that of a handgun. Help me roll him over Mr. Palmer."
Together they rolled over the body to find gaping exit wounds the size of a large fist. Ducky stared at the bewildered for a moment.
"What in the world?" he muttered as Gibbs looked down at the wounds.
"Hollow point, Duck?" he asked.
"Possibly," Ducky mused, "I shall know more when we get these two back to autopsy."
"Hey Boss," DiNozzo called a few feet away, "Found some casings here."
Gibbs walked over as Tony snapped a photo. Tony picked them up and dropped them into evidence jars before handing them to Gibbs.
"5.7 by 28mm shell casing," Tony said as he stood up again, "Rather unusual, wouldn't you say Sherlock?"
Gibbs gave a faint smile before Bishop called them over to the street.
"Got broken glass here," she said as they got closer, "Looks like blood on several of them."
"Guess our Navy SEAL didn't miss after all," McGee said.
"Then how did the van drive off?" Tony asked.
"Right hand drive?" Bishop suggested.
"Add it to the BOLO," Gibbs said as he left the crime scene.
