Hi

Thanks for your reviews again. any ideas are welcome!!! I have SAT's exams next week and at the moment I'm a little stuck as to what to write the ideas are in my head though. So updates we be a while.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except the man in the mask. He is mine, for now, so don't steal.

Chapter 3

Time was running out and Tony knew it. They had had no contact with who ever had taken Kate not even a ransom.

Statistics were against them, it had been over 24 hours and without any contact meaning she was either dead or dying.

"Boss, we've got something!" McGee shouted running into the bullpen.

Tony jumped from behind his desk and joined McGee at Gibbs' desk,

"We've managed to get a GPS location on Kate's phone. It's weak but it's enough to go investigate," McGee said enthusiastically.

"How do you know they've not just taken her phone and dumped it?" asked Tony, this put a dampener on the good news.

McGee smiled slyly,

"If they had dumped the signal would be stronger and we would've already found it. The only explanation to the weak signal is that she is either underground or behind lots of walls that contain lead," McGee explained triumphantly.

"Tony get the truck, McGee get Ducky on stand by. We've got a little lady to bring home," Gibbs ordered getting up and grabbing his gun.

"Good job, McGee."

The GPS signal led them to some abandoned ammo bunkers near Norfolk Naval Station.

"Right, there are 4 bunkers each split into sectors; I want us to search them all. You find anything you call," Gibbs ordered, passing flashlights to Tony and McGee.

The corridor was dark, the only light source coming from Tony's torch. He'd searched and researched nearly every room but that was because he had gotten lost.

However, he had found a corridor that he hadn't seen before and also he heard a scraping sound coming from the room next to him he prayed it was 'his' Kate.

With the chain cutters he snapped the lock holding the door shut and prayed that she was alright and he'd find her unharmed.

Kate woke up with a killer head ache and feeling very nauseas with no clue where she was, for the second time in over a day. The noise that had awoken her was the snapping of a chain and the opening of a door.

Tony opened the door and found... where Kate had been all that was left was her phone and a couple of rats eating the remains of Kate's untouched bowls of food.

"Boss... she's gone," Tony said quietly going over to the untouched bed and picking up her phone which was along side a note that read:

Hi NCIS,

You honestly didn't think I'd make it that easy for you? I'm shocked if you did. You're going to have to try harder.

She's a very pretty agent, I'd hate for anything to happen to her.

Your Friend,

Tony hit the wall out of frustration,

"Breaking your hand isn't going to help her," Gibbs said, his voice appearing from no where, causing Tony to jump,

"Sorry Boss, it's...they're playing with us Gibbs and Kate is their toy," Tony replied, his anger showing in his eyes.

"McGee bag and tag everything in here and get it to Abby. Tell her she has 3 hours. Tony take the Sedan back pull Kate's file and Petty Officer Nolan's, she if there are anything connecting them," Gibbs ordered.

Kate, meanwhile found herself being roughly hauled out of a white, windowless, van by a man at least 6'4''.Her arms tied behind her back.

"It's such a shame you have to spend your visit here alone. If your ever lonely, I'll gladly keep you company," the man in the mask said seductively,

"Over my dead body," Kate spat back, her comment wasn't taken on strong shoulders and instead, her face met the end of his slap.

"You shouldn't hit a lady," Kate said feeling blood tickle from her busted lip.

"Next time, I'll shoot," he replied, whispering into her ear.

Kate held her breathe to keep her from jeopardising the safety of herself and most importantly her baby.
