Wolf's Pack

Chapter 1

It was a normal day in the bullpen or as normal as you can get for Gibbs' team. Gibbs' team included Timothy McGee, Anthony Dinozzo, and Ziva David. They were all busy typing up their reports on their last case so they could go home for the weekend. Tim was the Junior Field Agent. He has brown hair and brown eyes and when standing is about 6 Ft tall. He's in his early 30's and had already started to make a name for himself with being an NCIS Agent and by being a writer. Tim was known as Probie to Tony and McGee to his boss Gibbs.

Tony was the Senior Field Agent. He was Italian so he has the Italian looks with brown hair and brown eyes and an olive skin coloring. He was 6'2" tall. He was in his early 30's and had been a cop before coming to NCIS. He had been on the team longest and was right under Gibbs.

Ziva was newest to the team. She was a Mossad Officer on loan to NCIS. She was trained to be a Mossad assassin and still uses her skills at NCIS when needed. She joined the team after she had to kill her brother when he went after Agent Gibbs. He had just killed an agent from NCIS, Agent Caitlin "Kate" Todd. Ziva has long brown hair and brown eyes. She was taller than most women at 5'10". She had this look to her that said mess with me at your own risk.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs was a retired Marine Sniper and was now head of the NCIS Major Crime Response Team. He was badly injured and Desert Storm and soon after his wife and daughter were killed. He got revenge and they joined NCIS or what was then named NIS. He rose in the ranks until he was made Special Agent in Charge and formed his own team of Tony and Kate and then Tim and when Kate was killed Ziva joined their team. The team was like a family. Tony was the oldest, Ziva was in the middle and Tim was the youngest. Tony was the playboy prankster. He loved to tease and pick on Tim. Tim would put up with it and play along. Tim was the conservative of the group and shied away from women. He was the computer nerd so he got picked on a lot. Ziva acted like the middle child and would pick fights with Tony and gang up on Tim or Tony depending on the situation.

Tim had plans to write as he had a deadline coming up for his new book. Tim was almost done with his report when his cell phone started to go off. He paused and looked at the screen. Tony and Ziva were looking over in curiosity as Tim didn't usually get phone calls at work, especially when Gibbs wasn't around; fortunately, he wasn't around at that moment.

Tim was concerned when he saw the name that popped up as it was a person who normally wouldn't call unless it was important or an emergency.

"Ryan, what's wrong?" Tim asked right away.

"Timmy, I need help." Ryan answered back. His voice was shaky and he sounded panicky. Tim was immediately concerned for him.

"What happened? Are you in trouble? Where are you?" Tim asked quickly. He started to type on his computer to try and trace the call so he could find his friend. Ryan was six and Tim seven when they met for the first time. Both their families had been on vacation. They had been at the beach and Ryan had been making a sand castle when he had stumbled upon him and accidently crushed the castle. He had apologized because of Ryan's look. He looked like a kicked puppy and he couldn't ignore that look. Ryan had big eyes that when you looked into them you got lost and couldn't say no when he asked for anything. For the rest of the day they hung out and played in the sand or in the waves. Their parents became friends and they found out they actually didn't live that far from each other so the boys got together almost every weekend from that day onward. Ryan has brown hair, brown eyes and stood at around 5' 11" tall. He had muscle from being a Police Officer and Police Dog Trainer before becoming a Crime Scene Investigator.

Ziva and Tony looked at each other and listened to find out what exactly the problem was. They didn't hear Probie get this concerned very often.

"I think I'm being followed. I think its FBI. I think I made a mistake when I was looking through their files when I was looking for stuff on Speed." Ryan sounded like he was starting to have a panic attach which wasn't good. Tim knew he had to calm him down and help him before something really bad happened like an accident.

"What do you mean you're being followed? I've almost got your position. Keep talking Ryan. What do you think you found that they didn't want to be known? Are you sure it's the FBI, Ryan?" Tim asked. He knew if he kept Ryan talking he would start to calm down. He had finally gotten Ryan's position. He was heading north and Tim started to think of places he could go so he could meet up with Tim.

Tony and Ziva were really curious now as you didn't hear the FBI mentioned in a normal conversation. They wanted to know more on what was going on with whoever Tim was talking to. They leaned in closer to see what else they would hear. Tim knew that his team mates were listening to his conversation and tried to finish before they got too curious.

"I was looking in their files trying to figure out if they were the ones that took Speed from us. But I must not have been as careful as I thought I was as I know I'm being followed. There's been this black SUV following for the past 15 minutes. I can't seem to shake them." Ryan's voice was sounding panicky again so Tim made a decision.

"Look head up here to the Safe Haven and I'll meet you there. You must have found something they didn't want you to find." Tim replied.

"Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Timmy, are you sure I should head there. What about no one knowing where it is? This could hurt us in the long run?" Ryan asked in concern as he didn't want to ruin something for his brothers. "Could you look to see what I found that has them mad?"

"Not "could", "will". I want him back just as much as you do. I have your position now. Just start to drive up here and we'll meet at the regular place in a couple of hours. I'll gather some info for you and I'll help you with your little problem. I'll never understand how you stayed out of trouble for so long when trouble seems to have no problem in finding you Ryan." He replied back with conviction. He started to gather his things and printed the report for Gibbs so he could go.

"I'm heading up now. I'm glad I have a full tank of gas." Ryan said to try and lighten the mood.

"Good. Don't forget to let the dogs out when you get there so they can protect you and have the systems up and running immediately. I'll be waiting for the signal on my computer."

"Yes Timmy. Thanks."

"Welcome. You know I'll do anything for you bro."

Ryan chuckled and they said their goodbyes. Tim grabbed his jacket and started for the elevator dropping his report on Gibbs desk. Ziva and Tony had grabbed their things and dropped their reports off. They weren't letting their Probie out of their sights until he explained his weird phone call. Tim had seen their interest and knew he wasn't going to get away from them but he was going to try. He could feel them behind him trying to keep up. He pushed the button to go down and was lucky as it opened right away. But he wasn't quick enough and Ziva caught the door and it opened again for her and Tony to get in. He knew they would expect answers so he decided to cut them off before they could form a word.

"Yes you can come but this goes no farther than the team, understand?" McGee said quietly. He looked at them expectantly and waited for their answer.

Ziva and Tony looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. They were too curious that would have agreed to almost anything at this point.

"Ziva will you drive us as you'll get us there quicker than anyone I know." Tim asked. He already had the directions she would need in his PDA and gave them to Tony so he could direct her there. He was going to sit in the back and hack FBI to find out what Ryan had done to make the FBI so edgy and worried.

They got into Tony's car for the drive and headed off. It would normally take them 5 hours to get where they were going; with Ziva's driving it would take a lot less. Ziva was type of driver where her foot was always on the gas pedal and almost never on the brake pedal. She would do over 100 in a 65 mph zone. This was a good thing when they were going to a crime scene if Gibbs wasn't driving. After they had been on the road for around 20 minutes Tony couldn't take the feeling of not knowing what they were getting into and asked Tim what exactly was going on.

"The person who called me was my brother in all but blood Ryan. He was looking for one of our other brothers who is supposedly dead but we know that too false. We know our brother and he would clean his gun with Ryan after he was almost killed once before. So when Ryan joined the CSI's he went down to the evidence from the case and looked at the gin as he had seen both Speed's regular and back up as he checked when Speed was done cleaning them. It was his back up. So the reason we came for him to look down was he was surprised his gun malfunctioned when he knew it shouldn't have. We also came to the conclusion that the only ones who would take him out like that would be someone from the government so they could use him for undercover work as no one would care as they all thought he would be dead. But they didn't think about us his brothers when they did that. So we decided the best place to look would be with the agency's first so I was looking in CIA and Ryan was looking in FBI. But apparently he made a mistake and they was he was getting closer than they would have liked and sent someone down to follow him probably so they could kidnap him or something. That's why I started to trace his call as he knew I would be working still at this time of day. He would only call if it was an emergency. That's also why I told him to go where we are heading as it's our Safe Haven. So I'm gonna have to ask that you never tell anyone where this place is or you won't like the consequences." Tim said dead serious.

Tony and Ziva were struck silent as they had never seen their Probie be this serious before; not even when his sister was framed! They valued his friendship even if they had odd ways in showing it because he was always there for them. They liked this new style of Tim and thought he should act this way more often. Maybe more people would respect him more than for his computer skills.

"Tim, we won't tell anyone your secrets. Don't you think we should call Gibbs? He's probably back at the bullpen wondering where everyone has disappeared too." Ziva asked. They knew Gibbs would wonder and probably call them if they didn't call soon as he had only gone for coffee and they left while he was still out.

"I'll call him. Probie, you find that info you need because I have a feeling you won't have much time when we get where ever we are going." Tony said. He took his PDA out and dialed Gibbs number from heart and waited for Gibbs to pick up. He kept an eye on Tim's PDA so he could tell Ziva when to get off and such.

"Gibbs."

"Hey boss, just wanted to let you know something came up and Ziva, Probie, and I are going on a little trip this weekend." Tony said.

"What do you mean something came up? Where are you?" Gibbs said. He was not happy. He had come back to NCIS expecting his agents to be finishing with their reports to find his team gone and no one knew where they were.

Tim could hear Gibb's tone of voice and told Tony he could tell their boss what had happened so far. As Tony told Gibbs everything, a little box popped up that the securities were all activated at the house. He knew when that happened that it would let their other brothers know and they would be calling him soon as they would see Ryan's code was the one to be entered.

" . .SohecalledTimknowinghewouldbeconcernedashewouldn'tnormallycallunless consideredbrother' ?" Tony said speaking as fast as possible so he could get it all out. He out of breathe by the end as he had said that in one breathe.

"…" Gibbs was silent for a couple of minutes as he digested what he had just learned.

"Do you need me to come down and help?" he finally asked.

Tony repeated the question to Tim and Tim thought for a minute. He knew that he could trust his boss. He was just unsure if he should drag him into this if it really did involve the CIA or the FBI as he knew he could get in trouble with their director. He was taking the pros and cons in his head and decided what the hell. His other co-workers knew where it was what did one more person hurt. And at least with Gibbs knowing he had contacts so they could maybe find more than they would have if they just hacked.

"I can text him the directions as long as he promises to tell no one where the house is. We tried to keep this from everyone as we didn't want people to bother us here. My brothers and I like to go there and relax away from work." Tim said finally. He had found were Ryan was in the system and saw where he made the mistake. He fixed it and looked deeper and found what they had originally been looking for.

Tony repeated what Probie said and waited for his boss's response.

"I won't tell anyone anything. Send me the directions so I can be there in a reasonable time as I know you guys have a head start on me." Gibbs said.

Tony handed Tim's PDA back to him and watched as he sent the directions to Gibbs. He then took the PDA back and waited as Gibbs confirmed he had the info and was on his way there. He would get there after them but then he also knew more short cuts then them so he might not be that far behind.

Tim remembered something before they hung up.

"You won't find your way in to us without me so call me when you are at the end of the driveway. We also have security dogs that we let loose around the property when we are there so I wouldn't try and come in by foot." Tim said. He had taken the phone from Tony so he could warn his boss.

"Ok McGee." Gibbs was curious of why there was so much security around.

Tim hung up the phone and went back to his computer to make sure he wouldn't find any more information. He then tracked where Ryan was. Ryan was almost to the house and they weren't that far behind given their distances apart. Tim put his laptop away and watched where they were. The phone call had taken a good 15 mins of their driving time so they had a little more than an hour to go.

6 hours and 45 mins later

They reached the end of the driveway into the safe house. It was confusing on how to get in unless you knew your way around or were with the owners. Tim knew he would have to take over so they would get there safely.

"I'll need to take over from here." Probie commented.

Ziva and Tony traded looks. Tim got out and traded places with Ziva.

Tim put the car in gear and took off at a faster pace than normal. He needed to see his brother and he needed to see him now.

Tim drove around trees and stumps, dodging things as time went on. It took them 15 mins. to make it out to the end of the driveway. There were only 2 cars that they could see. Tim quickly put the car into park and turned it off. He jumped out of the car and raced to the front door. He quickly stepped inside and immediately entered his code so the alarm wouldn't go off. He then took his shoes off so Ryan wouldn't throw a fit. He tore towards the back room as that's where Ryan would be when he was this upset.

Tim swung the door open and descended on Ryan. He pulled him in a hug and Ryan just seemed to fall apart as soon as he felt His brothers arms go around him.

Tony and Ziva looked at each other and then opened there doors to get out. But as they opened 2 wolves seemed to appear out of no were and started to growl at them. They quickly closed their doors and called McGee.

Tim was surprised when his phone started to go off. He had forgotten his friends out in the car.

"Ziva?" he asked puzzled.

"Can you call off the wolves?"

"Oh crap. I forgot. Sure let me finish with Ryan and I'll be out in sec ok?" Tim said. He knew they weren't going anywhere until he was back out there. He hung up his phone and turned back to his brother still concerned for him.

"Are you ok now Ryan?" Tim asked hugging him.

"Yeah, I think I'm ok now. Who was that?" Ryan asked hesitantly.

"That was Ziva. She drives extremely fast, faster than Speed. So I asked her to drive so I could look in FBI files. She and Tony are here and our Boss Gibbs is on his way down too." Tim explained.

"Now I need to call off the boys so they can get out of the car. I was so worried about you that I forgot they were out there, so I left the others in the car. And you know how our boys are with people they don't know." Tim said. Ryan just smiled that smile of his and giggled a little.

Tim was happy Ryan was smiling and giggling as that was a good sign. It meant he was feeling better. This was good, as he took his brotherly duties seriously.

"Let's go let them out before I get a head slap for my forgetfulness. Have you called the rest yet?" Tim asked as they were heading out.

"No. I wanted to wait until you were here as you know how they are when something happens to me." Ryan said.

Ryan was the youngest so his brothers were all very protective of him. When something happened to him one of them was coming to make sure he was ok if not all of them. They hated to see him hurt if they could prevent it or fix it before it happened. This was why Speed was with Ryan in Florida because they knew how accident prone Ryan was and how he drew trouble like a magnet.

Tim and Ryan were outside by that point and couldn't help but laugh as their wolves were sniffing around the car and kept jumping up putting their front paws on the window to look in at Tony and Ziva

Ziva heard the laughter and looked over to see who it was though she guessed it would be Tim and his Brother.

Tony also heard the laughter and glanced over out of the corner of his eye. He was impressed with the wolves as a security guard. They certainly would keep people out if the way they came at them was any indication.

Tim whistled and the wolves backed off. They all ran toward him and jumped up to lick his face. Tim just laughed and got down to their level so they wouldn't get him all dirty. He let they lick his face for a couple of minutes then he got serious and told them to get down and to sit. They immediately obeyed and sat down perfectly still.

"Elek, Lexis they are friends. Go back to your jobs now." Tim called to the two wolves.. He knew the wolves had a better understanding of what he was saying then most people thought. For you see, Tim and his brothers had raised their wolves from when they were babies. With Ryan being a police dog trainer he had made a couple of contacts and when he had heard that a wolf mom had cubs that were half dog he had gotten in contact with his brothers and asked if they wanted to buy them and train them to help around a crime scene as the police would often leave after they had the scene cleared. So they gotten 8 cubs and had gotten Mac Taylor, Gil Grissom, and Ryan's chief to sign for them to be trained. All three labs wanted the wolves as they would be very helpful. All they needed to do was decided which one went where as all of them were almost done being trained to work at crime scenes.

The wolves moved off and disappeared back into the woods around the house.

Tony and Ziva got out of the car after they deemed it safe and walked over to the boys.

"Tony, Ziva, this is Ryan. Ryan, this is Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David." Tim introduced them. Ryan shook hand with Tony and Ziva.

"I've heard a lot about you from Tim."

"Oh. It all was good I hope?" Tony said.

"Maybe. Some things, maybe not as much as you would like." Ryan was teasing the team because he knew it would get Tim in trouble. And seeing as his brother liked to tease him he thought Tim deserved it.

Tony got a look on his face and turned to Tim. Tim saw the look and started to back away. He then turned tail and ran into the house. For you see, they didn't just build a house. They built a maze inside the walls. Once you were inside, you could wonder for days and never find your way out again. They wanted a way to get out if someone ever found them. So they built a huge maze on the inside that went around the building and even led to places underground and other spots on the property.

Tony raced after him and soon got lost as he couldn't find Tim anywhere.

Ryan had doubled over in laughter and Ziva was smiling as she had seen the teasing look Ryan had been giving Tim. He wanted him to get in trouble. Probably because he was the younger then Tim and seemed to be treated like a kid some times.

Tony soon came back out to ask if they had seen Tim.

"Hey, did Tim come back out here?" Tony asked.

"No. He's in the maze most likely." Ryan answered.

"Maze?" Tony and Ziva asked at the same time.

"Yep." Ryan replied cheerfully. "My brothers and I built this house ourselves and decided to make things interesting by making a maze inside the walls. It goes everywhere if you know where to look. You can get lost in there if you don't know the whole layout which none of us do. We each took a section and built that section anyway we wanted. We all agreed on ways to get to an exit if we ever had an emergency but none of us know what the other put in their part of the maze. The only bad thing is if you go exploring in the others part you can get lost for days. So we keep out cell phones with us to call for help if one of us gets stuck." Ryan explained. "Let's go inside. Tim will eventually come out when he thinks you have cooled off, enough anyway." Ryan was grinning as he said the last part.

Tony just laughed and followed Ryan inside. Ziva shook her head and followed behind them. As they were heading inside the phone started to ring.
