Chapter 3

Deserted warehouse in Annapolis, MD

"Get off me!" Abby screamed as Chip yanked her skirt up, "Why are you doing this?"

"Because you will always remember this." Chip said as he continued his assault. He pointed his gun at her head, "If you don't stop struggling I'll…"

"You'll what? Kill me? Go ahead. I'd rather be dead than let you rape me! You're a sick freak and when they find me they'll kill you."

"You bitch! I am not a sick freak!" He brought his gun down hard on the side of her face. He got up and started pacing back and forth in front of Abby.

"Chip!" Abby yelled as she struggled against the ropes that held her hands, "Let me go! And I'll tell Gibbs and the team that it was all a misunderstanding." Abby was thinking of anything that might get her out of the situation she was in.

"If you would have just let it go, DiNozzo would have gone to jail. And I wouldn't have had to do this to you." Chip passed his gun back and forth in his hands, keeping it pointed at Abby, "But no! You had to test that carpet fiber. You had to re-check your work over and over again. You couldn't just leave well enough alone!"

"Why'd you send Gibbs the pictures?" Working with NCIS, Abby's investigative skills were in top-notch condition she was just as curious and inquisitive as the rest of the team, "Why would you send Gibbs a clue?"

"If I didn't send him a clue how would you know it was me? How would the great powerful Gibbs be able to be here to see me kill you, if I didn't send him a clue?" Chip walked closer to Abby.

"You won't kill me." Abby said bravely, "If you wanted to you would have done it already." She struggled against the ropes again.

"How do you know I'm not just waiting for the right time?" Chip retorted.

"You could have done it in front of McGee earlier." Abby said, hoping that if she kept Chip talking the team would have more time to find her.

"Killing you in front of Gibbs and DiNozzo and the rest of your team will be much more fulfilling." Chip walked towards Abby, and pounced on top of her again. He roughly pulled her skirt up and her panties to the side to gain access.

"Please don't do this!" Abby pleaded as she tried to break free of the ties.

"I want you to close your eyes and see my face. I want your precious team to live with the fact that they can't save you from everything." He pulled unzipped his pants and forced himself into her. Once he finished his attack he zipped his pants, stood up and yanked off her dog collar, "This will make a nice gift for your precious team."

"Where the hell is she?!" Gibbs barked at his team. Tony was running though hours of NCIS security footage, McGee was trying to get a GPS location on her cell phone and Ziva was trying to locate Chip.

"I'm trying to get a GPS coordinate on her phone." McGee said.

"I have spoken to Chip's neighbors and building super and no one has seen him for a few days." Ziva said.

"Somehow he hacked into our computer system and blocked Abby's security cameras from filming today." Tony said, "I've checked the outside security cameras and this is all I get." Tony pointed to the plasma which only showed snow.

"Someone explain to me why we haven't found her yet!"

"Special Agent Gibbs? I have a package for you." The mailroom clerk passed Gibbs the brown box. Gibbs snatched the box out of the clerks hands and tore it open.

"That bastard!" Gibbs said pulling Abby's dog collar out of the box.

"Are we sure it is Abby's? He could have bought it and sent it to us to make us think it is Abby's." Ziva theorized.

"It's Abby's. I know it." McGee said.

"Are you sure McGee?" Gibbs asked.

"Positive. I bought it for her." He said solemnly.

"Boss is that blood?" DiNozzo felt sick to his stomach.

"Looks like it to me DiNozzo." Gibbs said, "Find her! Someone find her!" Gibbs yelled. He stormed out of the bullpen and into his 'office'. Just as the doors were about to close he heard McGee shout for him.

"Boss! I've got her cell phone! She's in Annapolis!"

"Gear up!" Gibbs held the doors to the elevator open as Ziva, McGee and DiNozzo rushed in.

Deserted warehouse in Annapolis, MD

Abby watched as Chip paced back and forth in front of her. She was getting restless being tied up. She had tried to struggle and free her hands but it was no use. Chip had tied her hand behind her back and then tied her ankles together and left her lying on the dirty concrete floor. Chip pulled Abby up by her hair and forced her out of the room she was in and into an adjoining room. They both turned their heads as they heard a car screech to a halt outside.

"I told you they would find me." Abby said. Chip gripped Abby around her neck and held her in front of him.

"And I told you I'll kill you in front of them all." Chip placed the gun at her temple. They stood still as they watched the door being kicked in Gibbs. Tony, Ziva and McGee rushed into the room.

"NCIS! Drop your weapon!" DiNozzo shouted.

"Let her go Sterling!" Gibbs yelled.

"No I don't think so." Chip said, as he cocked his gun.

Abby's eyes jumped from Gibbs to DiNozzo to Ziva before laying rest on McGee's eyes. His eyes and hers locked as the gunshots rang out. Abby felt herself drop to the ground with Chip's hand still around her throat.

"Abby!" McGee was the first one at her side, "Abby! Are you alright?" McGee pulled her out from under Chip. Abby allowed McGee to pull her a safe distance away from Chip. Finally she let herself take the whole scene in. Chip lay motionless where he fell, Ziva was checking for a pulse. DiNozzo was securing the scene and Gibbs and McGee were hanging over Abby. McGee had his arms around her waist and Gibbs was kneeling in front of her checking her for injuries.

"Are you OK?" Gibbs asked, concerned because Abby hadn't said a word.

"I'm fine. Just this." She said pointing to the bruise on her face from Chip hitting her with the butt of his gun.

"You need to go to the hospital." Gibbs said.

"No I don't." Abby pleaded, she didn't want anyone to know about Chip raping her, "Ducky can take a look at my face. I don't need a hospital."

"It wasn't a request." Gibbs said, "You'll go by ambulance if I have to force you to go."

Abby glanced at McGee hoping that he would notice her distress. "I'll take her." McGee stood up keeping Abby in his arms. He noticed the tension in her body the moment he touched her.

"Ziva, DiNozzo secure the scene. McGee, get Abby to the sedan. I'm coming with you two to the hospital." Gibbs ordered his team. He pulled out his cell phone, "Duck. I got a body you might enjoy autopsying."
