"Where...where am I?" Abby hesitantly asked.
It was a dark room all she could see around her was blackness, she was sitting up against the farthest wall. It smelled but that is all she could really figure out before exhaustion and sleep took over her body once more.
Your parents worst dream, sweatie thats where you are. Enjoy your time in the fun place.
DAY 1, 9:30PM
ABBY MISSING 4 HOURS
"Ziva won't come out. She refuses to eat." Jen grabbed the pot of coffee and began to refill up Jethro's, Mike's, some others and finally her mug as a flash of lightning bolted across the sky. Exhausted Jethro pushed himself to his feet and wrapped his arm around Jen's side securely. He had spent the past hour mapping out a strategy to find Abby. "I'll talk to her."
The shrill cry from the phone cut into the silence. It jarred Tim awake from his small nap on the table, he fell asleep helping with any ideas he could come up with.
"Jethro here."
"Sir, we checked all the places you gave us and found nothing," Deputy Jake Fin said, frustration marking each and every word.
All energy that Jethro had quickly drained from his body as he heard the news. He squeezed his eyes shut and pulled Jen closer to him. "Go back over every square inch a second time, go a third time if you have to."
"Yes Sir"
Jethro slammed the phone down. "Jake reported nothing."
Mike looked up at his colleague and friend sadness in his eyes, "we still have five more teams who need to report in." He looked back down towards the map of the town and country side. "Maybe she just lost track of time and got lost somewhere?"
Lost track of time? Three hours? After dark? Jethro stood there facing his friend and wanted to laugh. He knew in his gut that Abby hadn't walked away willingly. Someone had to have taken her. What little evidence they did have pointed in that direction. He needed to be searching just like his sons were.
"As soon as I talk to Ziva I am going back out there." Jethro said as he let go of Jen's hand and walked towards his daughters room. Walking by Abby's room tore at Jethro's heart, he just wanted his family safe and with him. When he came up to Ziva's room the door was closed so he gently knocked on the door. "Ziva sweetie open up for daddy."
"Go away!"
Gibbs opened the door slightly and saw a sight that he never wanted to see. Ziva was sitting on her bed hugging her knees up to her chest. Her cheeks were streaked by tears that have fallen. With out any hesitation she threw herself into her fathers arms.
"I am sorry, this is all my fault."
"No it is not sweetie, it is not your fault. Don't you ever say that, do you hear me?"
"Yes sir!"
She smiled a half smile and buried her face into his chest. Gibbs held his daughter close and prayed to God that he would be able to find his youngest daughter and to help the family get through this tough situation. He hugged Ziva once last time, kissed her good night and went to join the search for his daughter. As he left he could he Ziva quietly praying for the safe return of her sister.
Jethro walked back into the kitchen to rejoin the group, he scrubbed his face with the palm of his hand trying to get the sleep out of his eyes. He looked around and finally found where Jen had disappeared off to. She was out sitting in her chair on the deck with her head in her hands. He quietly walks up to her and massages her shoulders whispering comforting words to her. Jen stands up and wraps her husband into a hug, she kisses him and says, "GO find our daughter Jethro."
Gibbs quickly kisses her and grabs his badge and hat and heads to join his sons in the search for his daughter out in the forest.
Day 1, 10:00 PM
Abby Missing 4 hours and 30 minutes
"DAD, DAD!" Tony shouted, he had just found foot prints in the mud that matched the ones in his backyard. Deputy Jake Fin reached Tony first shortly followed by Tim and Jethro. Gibbs quickly scanned the area around the foot prints and saw more leading to a small road. Jake followed him and when he saw a road he quickly called for the police cars to come and patrol the road. Gibbs looks back towards his sons, he smiles and before anyone knew it he took off up the road. Tony knew exactly what his dad was going to do so he quickly ran the mile back to his house opened the garage and started the ATVs. By the time Tim got there Tony was ready to go. They both jumped on to the two ATVs and road back to the forest and up the road.
Jethro had run up the road as far as he could before he found another clue. It was his daughters black hoodie neatly folded. Attached to the hoodie was a note. Before Gibbs was able to pick up the hoodie he turns to see Tony, Tim and Jake on the family ATVs. Jake jumps off puts gloves on and picks the hoodie up. He places the hoodie in a evidence bag and the note in another bag. He quickly handed Gibbs the bag with the note in it as he and Tim begin to look around the road for any more signs.
Gibbs walks back towards Tony, he reads the note a few times and shakes his head.
"Whats it say?" Tony asked
"It says that I need to bring Jen and $10,000 to the lake at 9pm if we want to see Abby again."
Tony stood there mouth slightly open as he takes in the message. He is lost in his own thoughts as Gibbs quietly walks up to him and wraps an arm around him.
"We will find her" Gibbs quickly starts up the ATV and drives back into the forest and straight to his house. He quickly kills the engine and climbs off as he is greeted by another deputy. He hands Deputy Sarah the evidence bag with the hoodie and note. She signs off and quickly gets in her cruiser and takes them to the forensic lab to find any DNA.
Gibbs walks in and right to the coffee pot, he pours himself his third cup of coffee in the past hour and begins to drink it as his mind goes over the note again. He puts the cup in the sink and turns to head back out, Gibbs turned right into Jen. She studies him for a second and looks right in to his eyes. He hopes she can't see how worried he is but like always she notices. Jen wants to question him but the silent conversation they have she knows not to ask him right now. He silently thanks her and kisses her as he climbs in to his jeep and proceeds to the police department. On his way he calls Tony, Tim and Jake to inform them that he was at the station and he wanted Jake to meet him there but wanted Tony and Tim to go home and get some rest.
Jethro drove the rest of the way in quiet, was his baby girl ok, who has her, why would they do this? Many questions were on his mind as he pulled up to the station and got out of the jeep. As he walked in to the station many of the deputies came up to him to offer him words of encouragement but one single look they knew not to bother him. He quickly walked into his office and slammed the door. He was going over all the information he had gotten in the past hour when there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come In" he states.
As the door opens he sees the forensic scientist, Andrew held in his hands Abby's hoodie.
"I found a solid finger print on the hood part" Andrew stated "I am running it through any and all programs that can register the print." Gibbs gave a nod and returned to his notes. Andrew gave him a small smile and shut the door. Everyone knew Gibbs would not stop until he found his daughter and caught the bastard who took her.
Day 2 5:30 am
Abby missing 11 hours
A bright light shot on and Abby woke with a start, at first she didn't know where she was but the events all came flooding back to her. She wrapped her arms around her knees as she heard foot steps come down the stairs to the door. A small doggy door opened and a small tray was placed at the entrance. Eat up a gruff voice said. Before she knew it the bright light was off and just a single night light lit up the room. Abby quickly crossed the room to the tray. To her surprise there was an orange and a small bowl of lucky charms. She quickly ate and crossed back to the other side of the room where she hugged her knees again and thought about her family. Were they even looking for me, why is it taking so long?
Gibbs was sound asleep, Jen opened his door are carefully walked in and shut it. She placed a thermos full of coffee on his desk. She gently shook him to wake him up. Groggily Jethro woke up and saw his wife, he quickly wiped the sleep from his eyes. He took the lid off the thermos and drank some of the coffee. Jen studdied his every move she wanted to know if they have got any where closer to finding her baby. Gibbs put the thermos down and pulled Jenny into his lap. He held her there as he took in a deep breath, he was going to have to tell her about the note.
"Jen, we found something while we were out in the forest. We found a road that led up a mountain half way up I found Abby's hoodie and a note." He studied Jen's expression as he told her about the hoodie and note.
"What did the note say?"
"It said that you and I have to bring $10,000 to the lake at 9 tonight"
Jens face quickly dropped she knew they had the money but she knew sometimes even if they brought the money they may not get Abby back. She kissed Gibbs on his cheek and rested her head on his shoulder, his fingers getting lost in her red hair. They stayed like that for 20 minutes just getting the slight comfort they each needed to face another day with out Abby.
Jen was about to fall asleep when Gibbs's door was thrown open and Andrew came running in. "We got a hit, we got a hit!"
Jen quickly looked from Andrew to Gibbs she noticed a slight smile on Jethro's face. Andrew handed a piece of paper to Jethro and walked out the door. Jethro unfolded it and read the name aloud.
"The single finger print we found belongs to Drew Stomp."
Gibbs helped Jen stand and he then stood, he quickly put his SIG in the holster and kissed Jen one last time. He was going to get his little girl back. He walked out of the office and talked to a few of his deputies who all grabbed their SIGs and followed Gibbs.
Gibbs knew that Drew had a past of assault. He also knew that Drew was arrested by Gibbs himself and while he was processing Drew had threatened Gibbs's family. However that was 8 years ago, Abby hadn't even been born. So why now? Gibbs was confused but knew he was going to have a talk with Drew. In no time flat Gibbs, Jake and Sarah pulled up to Drew's house. They could hear him shouting but at who they didn't know. They all climbed the few stairs to the front door, Gibbs began to knock loudly on the door.
Abby woke up to the sound of banging on a door somewhere above her head. She was also aware that her captor was walking around upstairs ignoring the loud banging. However the next thing she knew the bright light flooded the room and the big door opened. A man with a mask over the face grabbed her and tied her hands behind her back and blind folded her. We are going on a trip, if you stay quiet nothing bad will happen.
Gibbs gave up knocking he back stepped and kicked down the door. Jake and Sarah quickly entered the house and started clearing the house room by room. Gibbs began walking around the house when his phone started ringing, he picked it up and saw the caller I.D said Mike. Gibbs quickly answered it as he continued through the house.
"Mike whats up?"
"Just got a call some man saying that if you want your daughter back you will be at the lake in 3 minutes."
"Ok Mike I am on my way."
"Wait he said he wants Jen there to. Also not to bring any back up."
"Pick Jen up meet me there and then leave."
"Gibbs I don't like doing that so I will pick Jen up but I will not leave the two of you alone out there with this crazy guy."
"Thanks" Gibbs hung the phone up and told Jake and Sarah what happened. Jethro jumped into the charger and sped off towards the lake. He made it there in record time and as he climbed out Mike and Jen pulled in. Jen jumped out of the car and ran towards Jethro. She had been crying and Gibbs could tell. He wrapped his arms around her and watched as Mike drove off. He knew Mike would be hidden some where ready if things got sketchy. Gibbs and Jen walked along the shore of the lake listening for any small sound that could be Abby or the person who had her. Suddenly a dark hooded figure jumped out of the trees a way down the shore and laid down some thing that looked like a body. He looked towards the couple and ran up in to the forest.
