"DiNozzo I want an BOLO out on Josaf Mortiono. David, witness statements. McGee you track Jen's cellphone and any other device that has to do with Josaf."Right away Tony and McGee started typing and Ziva started making phone calls.

Gibbs turned around to find Marie sitting at his desk with her legs propped up. She reached for his coffee and was about to take a sip when Gibbs snatched it out of her hand. Marie arched her eyebrow at him, challanging him. After a moment of glaring at eachother, Gibbs did the unexpected. He handed his coffe over. Tony looked at Ziva. Did that really just happen. The look on Ziva's face confimed his suspisoins. What the hell was that Gibbs never gave anyone his coffee. Not once had he offered DiNozzo some coffee. But he just gave it to her like it was nothing. That made Tony wonder just exactly what was said in the confrence room. It must have been pretty big, although Gibbs was always a sucker for kids.

Marie took a big long sip of the the coffee, and suprised Gibbs when she didn't even flinch. She must have seen his face because she lowered the cup to reveal a large smirk that was plastered on her face.

Yep she was Jen's daughter for sure. Her mother always wore that smirk. It was one of the things he loved most about her, and despite the fact that the little smirk usually led to a fight for dominance he had missed that look on her face and the fire that was sparked in her beautiful green eyes every time he challanged her. They had to find her and fast because couldn't stomach the thought of someone hurting Jen and he knew that Marie couldn't either.

After a few more seconds of watching his team hard at work Gibbs turned toward Marie and motioned for her to follow him. Slowly , almost relunctantly she got out of the chair and began to follow him once more towards the elevator. Apparently Marie found Gibbs' chair very comfortable which made Gibbs very satisfied.

When they neared the elevator Marie suprised Gibbs by grabbing his arm before he could press the button to summon the elevator.

"I know that this is normally where you do most of the talking, but I'm fine. You don't need to worry about how I'm feeling or what your teams thinks of how you treat me. By now I think they know that your a big softie when it comes to kids. Please focus on helping my mom. You can focus on me later," and when that Marie turned and started to walk back towards the bullpen. But Gibbs needed her. He reached out for her and tried to ingnore the tremor that rocked her body. This case was taking its toll on Marie and he could see that. He wanted to help her, but he knew that the only real way he was going to help her was by finding Jen and thats what he intended to do.

"I'm not asking for another confrence I was actually going to introduce you to a friend of mine who was very close to your mother and would love to meet you. The only problem is that her lab is downstairs, so we have to take the elevator, " he said motioning toward the elevator. Marie turned to face him and smiled and pressed the button. When the doors opened Gibbs waited for her to enter before he himself stepped inside. Then they were off. Gibbs smiled to himself and chuckled despite himself. It was time for Marie to meet Abby.

Abby's Lab

As usual Abby was blasting away at her music- at least what she says is music. Gibbs walked behind her and lightly tapped her on the shoulder . He smiled when she jumped, and began to reach for the remote to turn of the music.

Once Gibbs got his hearing back he began the introductions. "Abbs I'd like to meet someone," he said motioning for Marie to step forward. "Abbs this is-

"Marie! Oh my God its so good to see you. You've grown so much. Wow," and with that Marie was engulfed in a giant Abby hug.

Gibbs was confused how did Marie know Abby. He knew how Ziva had known her, but Abby? He turned to Marie for an explanation. She just looked at him and he cocked his head to the side motioning toward Abby, who was still gleaming with excitment.

"Babysitter," she sighed remembering the first time she met Abby. It was late one night and mom had to stay to finish up paperword for SecNav, so that she would be clear to leave for Paris the next day in search for The Frog. She hated him not only for what was done to them, but for the memories that her and her mother never could seem to shake. To this day she was still haunted. But she didn't want to think about that right know. She didn't want to go back to that place, she couldn't.

"So you knew Jenny had a daughter this entire time and you didn't tell me?" Gibbs tried not to sound hurt but the truth of the matter was that he was hurt. Abby had always told him everything. She had always found a way to bend the rules just for him. It was kind of their thing.

Immediatly Abby stiffened and then turned to Marie the shock in Abby's eyes told him enough. Abby may have known that Marie was related to Jenny, but in no way had she known that Marie was Jenny's daughter.

"What do you mean Jenny's daughter. This is her neice. Right Marie," Abby turned to glare at her. Marie had lied. Abby's number one rule was never lie to Abby and both Jenny and Marie had broken that rule. They had some explaining to do.

"Look Abby I know your upset , but you have to understand no one could know about me at that time. We were just starting to move on from... Cairo and my mom was just trying to keep me safe. The fewer people that knew about me the safer I was. Please don't be mad we wanted to tell you, but w-we just couldn't okay," and with that Marie turned toward Gibbs. "You should probably fill her in, and while you do that I'mgoing to sleep." Just like that she was gone.

Abby turned to Gibbs with a confused look on her face. "Was it something I said. I wasn't really mad at her she had to have known that. I could never stay mad at our little Gibblet." Abby smilled. Gibblet. She loved that name and when Jenny died she never thought she would be able to use it again.

"Marie understands Abbs its just this case thats bothering her. I promise you its nothing personal," he said leaning down to kiss her cheeck.

Now it was Abby's turn to look confused she pulled away from Gibbs. "What case?" Gibbs had forgoten to tell Abbs about the case, about Jenny, about everyhting. Before he began he made sure Abby was sitting, he knew that if she wasn't she would probably faint and hit her head from fear and joy.

Then Gibbs began. He told her all about Jenny and Marie in Cairo, about Ziva, about the letters and the fake death. When he told her about Vance, he thought he might have to lock her in the lab because the anger in her eyes burned brighter than anything he had ever seen before, but he didn't really blame her. He felt the same way. If he wasn't so focused on finding Jenny he would beat Vance up himself. He had never truely trusted him. There was something about him that had always irked him. Now he knew what Vance had been hiding, now all he wanted to do was kill him. When he finished he looked up to find Abby in tears. He quickly ran towards her, but she pushed him away. he studied her for a moment but finally backed off.

"I can't imagne what Jenny must be going through, and what abot Marie. Jenny is her everything. Oh Gibbs we have to find her." It was then that Gibbs found himself being embraced and he quicky hugged her back in an attempt to reassure her. He knew that Abby didn't work well when she was distraught.

"We'll find her Abbs I promise," he said planting another kiss on her cheeck."McGee will be down her shortly. He'll need you to track something I'm sure. Talk to him and if you need a break take one.'' When Abby looked down he took her face in his hands."Hey Abbs I mean it you don't work well when your upset okay." When she nodded he turned to leave, but not before signing to her that he loved her. Finally a smile spread across her face, and she got back to work.

Bullpen

"DiNozzo what have ya got!" Gibbs yelled only to be returned with a shush. What the hell just happened did DiNozz dare just shush him. "Did you jus-" He stopped when DiNozzo motioned behind his desk. It was then that Gibbs saw Marie curled up behind his desk with a blanket and a pillow. Gibbs smiled for the first time Marie actually looked at peace for the first time since this whole thing started. He decided that maybe it was time to call it a day.

"Go home Tony telly Ziva, McGee, and Abby to do the same. We'll meet back here at 0500 got it?"

He expected Tony to move, and when he didn't Gibbs started again only to be cut off.

"None of us are going home, not until Jenny is found." When Gibbs started to argue, but once again Tony cut him off.

" Don't even try to argue. We spent this whole time thinking that Jenny was dead. It was horrible it was like losing..," he paused struggling to say her name. I guess you could say that Tony still wasn't over Kate. "Your not going do this alone. We're here for you Silver Fox so deal with it," and with that Tony got back to work.

After a few moments of glaring at Tony. Gibbs smiled it was going to be a long night, but hey it was his decision and despite everything Gibbs couldn't help but feel proud. Then for the rest of night they worked until dawn came calling.
