Crime Scene

It wasn't long before the abandoned buildings in the warehouse district were being lit up by the dancing red and blue police lights. Tony had called Gibbs who had turned around and called in everyone short of the Marines. Fornell was there, along with Agent Sacks and Agent Krieger, and he and Gibbs were conversing in low voices next to his car while Sacks and Krieger supervised the FBI forensic team as they collected evidence from Ava's car. Abby had tagged along with McGee after making sure that every teenager had left the DiNozzo house and was now currently trying to get Ziva to calm down.

Just then, a brunette wearing a black pants suit walked past the crime scene tape and was promptly stopped by Tony.

"Ma'am, this is a crime scene, civilians aren't allowed," Tony said, trying to stop the woman from walking past. She pulled out a badge which promptly shut Tony up.

"I'm Angela Brennan, I'm with the CIA, and we know who took your children," the woman said. The surrounding area quieted for a few seconds until the silence was broken by Ziva.

"Where are they, where are my children," she said, walking right up to the woman and looking her in the face.

"We don't know where they are," Angela admitted, "but we do know who took them."

"Well?" Tony said with sarcasm at the back of his voice. "Could you tell us please?"

"Jeanne Benoit has kidnapped your children."

"I know you," Ava said again as she stared at the woman with surprise. "You're that woman that my dad dated for an undercover mission. I read the case file."

"And why would you do that?" Jeanne asked, surprise in her voice.

"I heard my mom and dad argue about it one night and I got interested. You tried to accuse my dad of murder," Ava accused.

"Does your brother know who I am?" Jeanne asked.

"No, I never told him," Ava said, glaring at the older woman, and managing to look remarkably like her mother while she did it.

"Good, even more of a reason to keep you and your brother apart," Jeanne said, icily, clearly disturbed by Ava's gaze.

"Did you hurt him?" Ava asked, her glare darkening.

"Not yet, but if you don't behave, I just might," Jeanne said darkly and then left the room by a door off to her right. Ava caught a glimpse of the hall beyond the door and was surprised to see the walls painted white.

The silence at the crime scene was deafening.

"Let me get this straight," Gibbs said, walking over to where Tony, Ziva, and Abby were staring in shock. "Jeanne Benoit kidnapped Ava and Aaron. Wasn't she arrested after she tried to accuse Tony of murder?"

"No, she made bail," Fornell said as he walked over to join the group.

"Who paid for it?" Tony asked, regaining his senses.

"Trent Kort," Angela said, causing Gibbs to turn his attention to her.

"You're that woman from in front of my house," Gibbs accused.

"Maybe," Angela replied candidly. "But how do you know if I was telling the truth or not?"

"That is not important," Ziva fumed. "What is important is that I find my children, preferably before Jeanne Benoit hurts them."

Meanwhile, Aaron was just coming around. When he had fallen to the ground, he had hit his head and his nose had started bleeding. His head was pounding uncomfortably and he found that when he opened his eyes, his vision was somewhat blurry.

"Don't worry, it's just a concussion," a voice came from the corner of the room.

"Where's Ava?" Aaron asked thickly, his head unable to process thoughts as fast as he would have liked it too.

"Oh, don't worry about her, she's just fine," the voice said, and then a light flicked on. Aaron instinctively turned his head away from the harsh, glaring light.

"Who are you?" Aaron asked, once he had regained his vision.

"That's for me to know," the voice said. "Now, answer the question and I might give you something to relieve your headache," the voice said.

"What?" Aaron asked, trying to sound pissed, but he only ended up sounding odd.

"Will your father come after you?" the voice asked.

"Well, I sure hope so," Aaron said. In his heart he knew that his father would stop at nothing short of shooting the president to find him and Ava, but he sure wasn't going to tell his mysterious kidnapper that.

"Would he have any reason not too?" the voice asked.

"Not unless Grandpa tells him to let someone else come and rescue us," Aaron said, knowing that that too, was a lie. His grandfather would be right beside his father every step of the way. He heard the person move and then two pills were roughly shoved into his mouth, followed by a bottle of water. He gratefully swallowed the pills and rested his head back against the wall.

After all of the evidence was collected and packed into the NCIS van, the team returned to the Navy Yard accompanied by Fornell and Agent Brennan. Abby had refused to speak to the newcomer and had privately confessed to Gibbs that the CIA agent made her uncomfortable. Gibbs had told her that he would keep her away from her lab so she could find out who helped Jeanne kidnap Ava and Aaron.

Meanwhile, upstairs, the bullpen was silent. McGee was sitting at his desk, his chin resting in his hands and Ziva was seated on Tony's lap at his desk, her head wearily resting against his shoulder. Gibbs, Fornell, and Agent Brennan had retreated to Gibbs's office to have a private conversation.

"Yes, I understand," Gibbs said into the phone. "Thank you, Director Church." Gibbs hung up the phone and looked up.

"Agent Brennan, your Director seemed to want to make it clear to me that you asked for this assignment, and he assured me that there were more agents aware of the same information that you are. Why did you feel the need to volunteer?" Gibbs said, looking Agent Brennan directly in the eye. His gut was telling him that he knew her from somewhere, but from before he met her outside his house the day before.

"I took a personal interest in the case after I read the file," Angela said.

"And why is that?" Gibbs asked, his eyes narrowing.

"I have a particular fascination with Trent Kort," Angela said carefully.

"Why?" Fornell asked, beating Gibbs to the question.

"Just do," Angela said.

"Anything else you'd like to tell us?" Gibbs asked, raising one eyebrow at her.

"Jeanne has a son, about Ava's age. His name is Peter," Angela said.

Okay, now, hopefully, you all know by now that Angela Brennan is really Jenny in disguise. For the moment, so I don't get confused and accidentally type Jenny, I will call her Agent Brennan or Angela. Later on in the story, I will start calling her Jenny. Hopefully it won't be confusing.

Also, in case you didn't figure out, I forgot to mention that the year is 2026, hence the year in Ava's shirt in the previous chapter.

Please review….. please? I did give you two chapters in one night…. I might be so inclined to do that again if I get reviews.
