Chapter Two-The Hospital and Kidnapped

Special Agent Ziva David and Jessica Gibbs walked into the emergency room with the girl cuddling her arm. The nurse behind the desk took one look at the girl and ushered her into an exam room. She then took Ziva and walked her into the admissions area to get Jessica's information as well as what had happened. Ziva told the nurse everything truthfully as she could including that she and Jessica's father were employed by NCIS. She watched the nurse nod her head and go see to the girl.

Jessica was sitting on the gurney in the exam room and holding her arm wondering why the nurse took Ziva out of the room. She looked up when the doctor walked in and smiled at her. He asked her how she had gotten shot and she answered, "A sniper with the military was at a federal crime scene and I was shot." She told the doctor. He only grinned wider back at her and pulled his hand out of his pocket. He was holding a handgun and it was pointed at her.

The nurse picked that moment to walk in the room and the so-called doctor turned to face her with the gun. Jessica then noticed that he had placed a silencer on the end of the barrel as he pulled the trigger and killed the nurse. "Now, if you be a good girl I won't have to do the same to you." He said to Jessica in a menacingly way and re-aimed the gun on her. He saw her swallow hard and then motioned for her to move off the gurney. He then placed a note on it where she was sitting and turned to look at her once more. "Let's go quietly and unnoticed out of the building." He told her as he moved behind her, pointing the gun in the middle of her back.

Jessica slowly nodded her head and did as he asked her to do. She followed his directions and instructions to the letter as he led her out the back way to a waiting car. Once they were inside, the driver pulled out and drove off leaving tire marks on the pavement. "You know, you won't get away with this." She told her kidnappers with slight anger coming through her tone. Their response was only to laugh at her face and tell her that they already had. 'They most likely know who my father is, or they wouldn't need me alive.' She thought to herself as she was told to lie down on the floor and not look out the windows.

Ziva had been waiting for half an hour when she decided to see how her boss's daughter was doing herself. She barged right into the room where she left the girl to only find it empty except for the body of the dead nurse. "Shit!" She uttered underneath her breath. She spied the note on the gurney and picked up her cell phone. She dialed Gibbs' cell phone and urged him to hurry up and answer.

Back at NCIS Headquarters:

Gibbs had just finished the interrogation of the sniper apprehended at the crime scene and was walking out of the room when his cell phone rang. "Gibbs." He answered into the phone.

Ziva was relieved to hear the older man's voice on the line. "Gibbs, Jessica has been taken from the hospital. The nurse that admitted her is shot dead in the floor of the exam room, and there is a note lying where she was sitting on the gurney." She said to him and started to look around the room to see if she could find anything that might tell her who took the girl.

Gibbs stopped immediately in his tracks and felt DiNozzo and McGee plow into him. His heart and stomach immediately took a nosedive at this news. "Ziva, don't go anywhere and make sure no one else but DiNozzo, McGee, Ducky, and I enter that room." He then hung up and turned around to face his other two field agents. "Jessica has been taken at the hospital." He told them with nothing but a granite mask and voice. "There is also a nurse who had been shot dead, and we are claiming that crime scene. Tony, call Ducky and tell him to get over to the hospital as soon as possible." He issued instructions and walked off. He intended to find his daughter and kill the bastards who took her.

DiNozzo snapped an 'Yes, Boss!' before doing as he was told. He got a hold of Dr. Donald "Duck" Mallard and let the older man know that he is needed at the hospital and why. "Gibbs is furious, Ducky. I mean what had happened earlier at the crime scene did even start to compare what I saw him just do now. Remind me not to mess with Jessica like this." DiNozzo added as he climbed into the car and shut off the phone so that he can seriously think about returning their boss's daughter to him and not have to walk on eggshells about it around Gibbs.

Gibbs was walking around the room and collecting anything that may be connected with his little girl. A fine toothcomb wouldn't miss anything he left behind. He looked up as his oldest friend and co-worker walked in. "Ducky, what caliber do you think that is?" He asked the older gentlemen.

"It's a large caliber, Jethro. I would say about a .45 or so, but we will let Abby figure that out." Ducky replied as he conducted his pre postmortem. "Probably government issue." He added as he finished up and stood before facing the senior NCIS agent, "We will find her, Jethro, and she'll be okay. She has a lot of you in her." He told him with sincerity, and then walked off with the corpse.

At a weapons testing facility:

Jessica pulled at the ropes that had bounded her hands and feet together once more before finally realizing that they were not going to move. She settled back and looked around the tank she was locked in, trying to find anything to help her out of her current situation. She had heard the men who took her talk about a new weapon that was being presented tomorrow, and they said that her father will not find her in time nor will he find her in one piece. She sighed deeply in defeat when the enclosed space yielded nothing for her to use, and she closed her eyes as darkness fell around her and the machine. After a few minutes, she opened them again knowing that it was going to be a long night.

At NCIS Headquarters:

Gibbs had sent everyone home to get some rest, as he knew they were all beat from trying to help find Jessica, and he didn't want them to exhaust themselves out. He sat there and stared at the note that was left for him, he couldn't figure it out. The note only said one word; "BOOM!" and he had a million scenarios running through his head. "Jessica, where are you baby?" He asked out loud to the empty office. Abby had told him earlier that she had found quite a few files on the PDA of a new developed weapon which is very dangerous to use and discharge. The government had decided to ignore the warnings and results of the beta tests, and go ahead and present it to the generals and other high-ranking officials tomorrow afternoon. The testing of the weapon was so top secret, that not even he had clearance to find the location of the presentation or what kind of weapon it was.
