Gibbs sat down to interview Walters. "Do you have any idea where your husband and daughter would be, Corporal?" Gibbs asked her.

"No," she answered. "But I do know why they're missing." She sighed and looked glumly into her mug of coffee in her hands. "I'm pretty sure my husband Steve has taken Sophie. It kind of leaked out that... Sophie isn't actually his daughter."

"Do you think Steve has kidnapped Sophie?"

"Yes," she said hesitantly. "Steve...Steve loves money. Sometimes I think...he only married me for the inheritance I received when my parents died." Lee looked at Gibbs. "But I know he would never hurt Sophie. He loves that girl."

"Got something, Boss," Tony picked up a square of lined paper and brought it over to Gibbs, where he read it out loud.

"I have Sophie. If you want to see her alive again, send a million dollars to P.O Box 138 on the corner of George and Main St. You have 5 hours. I will call you when I have the money and Sophie will be yours."

"Oh, my God!" Lee was shocked. "He doesn't care about her. What do we do now? I don't have that much money in the bank. I-I'll have to sell my house or something!"

"I can assure you we'll do everything we can to find your daughter, Corporal," Gibbs said.

An hour or so later, as the team was packing away their evidence and belongings in the truck, Lee pulled Tony aside.

"Tony," she said. "I have to tell you something very important."

"What is it?"

"Sophie is your daughter."

For once, Tony didn't have anything to say.

"I never told you why I quit modelling," she continued with tears in her eyes."I was pregnant. Do you remember the last night we spent together?"

"Oh, God," Tony said, shocked. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I knew you weren't ready. YOU knew you weren't ready. It was better if you didn't know."

"You should have told me."

"I know...but as soon as i left Paris, i met Steve. I don't know how he found out...but he was over the moon. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it wasn't his."

"I'm a father," Tony said to himself, laughing. "I'm a father!"

And a smile that could rival the Cheshire Cat's grew on his face.

"We should be tested when we find Sophie, to be absolutely positive," Tony said.

"I've already done it," she said. "When Steve was out of town. Sophie was about two. She's 15 now."

"DINOZZO!" Gibbs bellowed. "Do you wanna walk?"

"On your six, boss!" Tony turned back to Lee. "I have to go. We'll find her, I promise."
