Chapter IIII

Tony and McGee were waiting in the observation room for Gibbs to get down from MTAC and interrogate Ziva.

"Tony…"

"Yes, McGee?"

"Do you think Kate is still alive?"

"I don't know…" he said while looking down on his own shoes. "Why? Do you think she is…? You know… still alive?" he said now looking at McGee with big sad eyes.

"I really don't know, but it seems like it, don't you think?" McGee said with hope in his voice.

"Yeah you're right! And I'm going to be the one that finds her! Don't tell Gibbs where I'm going." He said while preparing to go out of the room.

"And actually where are you going?" McGee said. Tony stopped. "Wait until you know what Gibbs will get for information from Ziva, then you will at least know where to start."

"Or I'll just look for some clues by Ziva's desk and other places. We don't want to lose even more time. And what if she is alive…? Poor Kate." Tony haves some flashbacks of the happy time him and Kate had have before she died… (or "died").

He went out of the observation room and went by Ziva's desk and started to rummage every drawer. He didn't find anything so he stopped and leaned back on the chair and looked at her computer. He is looking at it for a while till he suddenly gets a flash of genius and starts to look at every homepage she had been on the past 6 months. No success. She had already erased it all.

"And now what? I can't think clear… all I can think about right now is Kate, my lovely Kate, whom I adore and love from the bottom of my heart. I just wish I could tell her that." Tony sighs and hides his face behind his hands.

Then once again he gets a flash of genius from nowhere and starts working again. He calls the phone company and asks for the numbers Ziva had called the past 6 months. The list is long, but luckily most of the numbers are the same, except from the ones which are the NCIS team's numbers.

"How did it go, Boss?" McGee asked Gibbs.

"She denies it all. She claims Jen´s friend had misunderstood everything." Gibbs answered.

"What do you think, Boss?"

"That we just have to take her into custody until further notice."

"Sure. I'll report that."

"I just hope Kate is ok." Gibbs sighed. As McGee were about to say something, Tony runs in to the observation room.

"Boss, I've found something!"

"What is it DiNozzo?"

"I've checked Ziva's call history and I've found something very interesting."

"DINOZZO!" Gibbs yelled ´cause Tony didn't seem to come to the point. McGee just looked at them both.

"I've found a number which Ziva called several times, so I checked who the owner was, and guess who…; it's an Israeli guy, and I've done some research of the guy and he is no other than her cousin! I also tracked the place from where he received most of the calls." Tony said. "I think she may still be alive, Boss."

"It's no need to jump to conclusions, Tony, but otherwise good work." McGee said as if he was their boss. Gibbs slapped McGee on the back of his head, like he usually does on Tony. Tony had a big smile on his face. Gibbs started walking. Fast.

"Gear up!"

As usually, when they were in a hurry, Gibbs drove the car.

I hope I didn't make so many mistakes this time… I'm sorry if I did! Let me know if I should continue with this story.

R&R
