Thank you for the reviews. I'll try to reply to them more often.
So, here's a new chapter, I tried to write some angst but I found out I'm not really good at that. To make up for it I wrote some Jibbs in it too. :)

Chapter 4: Searching

"Wake up."

Tony groaned as someone roughly shook him awake. He opened his eyes. He was sitting on a chair in some kind of hall, his hands were tied behind his back. He looked around and remembered where he was. Or rather with whom he was. Jeanne and her father. He remebered getting in the limo, greeting her father and drinking champagne. The drink! He wanted to slap himself for being so stupid. Of course, the drink had a sedative in it.

A man stepped out of the shadows. Tony recognized him as Kort, the guy form CIA who worked under cover for la Grenouille

"Mr. Anthony DiNozzo. Didn't your father tell you to keep you nose out of someone else's business?"

"Well no, he didn't actually. The only thing I learned from him was how to keep my liquor down."

"Aw, that's too bad. So, Mr. DiNozzo. Can you tell me where Jasper Shepard is?"

"Who?"

"You don't know? Maybe Vladimir can help you remember." Out of the shadows came another man. He looked huge and was cracking his knuckles.

"I really have no idea who you're talking about."Kort motioned for Vladimir to come. Vladimir hit Tony in the stomach. Tony coughed and bended over in pain.

"Not even a tiny hint?" Vladimir was about to hit again but then another voice sounded.

"Let me, interrogate him for a while. I'm sure I'll be able to make him talk."

"Abby, what do you have for me?" Gibbs walked into the lab and approaced the girl.

"What no Caff-Pow! Gibbs? I'm so dissapointed." Abby pouted a little. Gibbs showed her his other hand. In this one he held her favourite drink and handed it over.

"Why thank you." Abby showed him a big smile and turned around to her computer. "So I checked the note for fingerprints. But the only ones I could find were from Tony. I think they let him hold it. Or they used paper he had in his car. Inside the car the only things I could find were from Tony and I think someone female. Maybe his girlfriend." She said with a suggestive tone.Gibbs looked at her. "Anyway. Ziva brought the tapes of the hospital. Tony left with a woman the day before yesterday at 14.15. I was able to make a clear side shot of her face and with that photo I searched through.." Gibbs cut her off.

"Abbs get to the point."

"Not very patient today, are we? It was Dr. Jeanne Benoit. His girlfriend. Her address is the same as Tony's. Also the camera's that look out over the parking lot showed them getting into a car at 14.18. The car was a limousine, there was no image of the plates of the car but I was able to make a shot of the chauffeur. It's running through the image search right now." Gibbs walked off. Abby mumbled to herself.

"A simple 'thank you' was too much apparently." From just outside the lab she heard him knocking on the glass. She turned around, he signed "Thank you" and winked at her. She smiled as he walked off and got back to her computers.

Tony looked up into a familiar face.

"Jeanne."

"Hey, Tony." Jeanne smiled at him.

"Does you're dad treat all your boyfriends like this or am I just special."

"Cut the crap Tony, you know why you're here. So why don't you tell me all you know about you're Director's daddy."

"Well apparently his name is Jasper." He smirked.

"Not in a very sharing mood, are we?" Jeanne got on her knees in front of him. In her hand she held a knife. With the point of the knife she slowly made her way up his thigh. Tony could feel the soft pressure on his leg. It wasn't enough to make a real cut but the way it was headed scared him the most.

"Can you leave those parts out of this? I always thought you were rather fond of them."

Jeanne put more pressure on the knife. There was a little drop of blood visible on his upper thigh.

" I don't know. You could just tell me why you were tracking down my father." The knife continued it's path. Tony saw that it was only a few inches away from his crotch. He swallowed.

"Fine, I'll talk. But I'll only tell you're father." Jeanne smiled and put the knife away.

"I'll tell him, you want to see him." She leaned over and kissed his cheek. She stood up.

"Vladimir, can you take Tony to his room? Daddy will want to talk to him later."

Jenny and Gibbs were sitting at the table in her office. Files and papers filled the table. Most of them were marked classified. Those were the files that were part of the operation the Director and Tony had set up. Jenny had updated Gibbs about everything. Including the fact that Jeanne was the daughter of La Grenouille and that Tony's mission was to get closer to her, to find him.

"Did you contact you father?"

"No, I was afraid they bugged my phone so I left an untraceable cellphone on the kitchentable."

"When did you do that?"

"I went home during lunch. I also left a note for my dad to call me." Jen sighed, got up and paced around the room.

"I just hope he calls soon."

Gibbs walked over to her and led her to the couch. They sat down next to each other. Jen leaned against his shoulder, her hand on his chest. Something she hadn't done in a while. It was somehow funny. These last days they had been closer than they had been for a while. Not that she was complaining. She loved having him around more. To see him more often and to be able to touch him again. To feel his heart beating again under her hand.

Gibbs put his arm around her and rubbed her shoulder.

"He'll be fine. We'll find the Frog and he'll be safe again."

Jenny closed her eyes. But suddenly the door opened.

"I did it! I did it!"

Abby stormed inside and she had a photo in her hand. The door fell closed behind her.

It wasn't until then she saw the Director and Gibbs sitting together. Gibbs tried to get up and explain to Abby the scene she saw in front of her.

"It's okay Gibbs, I know about the two of you."

"You do?"

"Wait you didn't know I knew?" The two of them looked at Jenny who had sat up and now looked a bit guilty.

"Sorry, I think I forgot to mention it Jethro. When you were in the hospital after the bomb the doctor called me Mrs. Shepard-Gibbs and Abby heard him." She quickly changed the subject to avoid further questions.

"So you found something Abby?"

The gothic girl nodded exitedly. She showed them a picture of the limo's license plate.

"There was another camera, one at the exit of the parking lot. The plate is registered under the name of Jeanne Benoit. This is the address. She handed Gibbs the paper. He looked at it.

"I'll head over there with McGee and Ziva, maybe we can find something there."

"Jethro, you know you can't go in there without a warrant." Jenny called after him but he was already out the door. She quickly followed him. She caught up on him at the top of the stairs. She grabbed his arm.

"Jethro, you know it's no use."

"I'm sorry Director, but there is something in that appartement, that can help us find DiNozzo."

"You're gut again?" Jen looked into his eyes. They stared at each other for a few minutes. Neither wanting to look away before the other did.

"Fine. I'll try to get a warrant."

They pushed him into a room and locked the door behind him. It looked like it was some kind of office. The windows were taped shut and darkened. The only light in the room came from the lamp that hung in the middle of the room. Tony walked around in the room. Looking for some kind of hint to his location. Searching for clues wasn't easy when your hands were tied behind your back. He heard a noise outside. It sounded like a plane. Maybe they were somewhere near an airport. Hee looked around the room again. There was a desk in the corner, maybe there was something in the drawers that could identify his location. He sat down on his knees and pulled at the top drawer with his teeth. He lost his grip on the handle and his mouth slammed shut.

"Stupid drawer." He tried it again and this time it worked. Apparently la Grenouille and his men thought he wouldn't be able to find things. He grinned.

"Never underestimate Anthony DiNozzo."

In the drawer there were some papers, because of the little light he wasn't able to read them. He turned around and tried to get them out of the drawer with his hands. After a few failed attempts he managed to grab them. He threw them on the floor and saw that one of them had a logo on it. It was the logo of an amateur flying club just outside the city. He knew the club had their own little hangars.

Suddenly he heard a sound from the hallway. The sound of someone with keys. He quickly kicked the papers under the desk. He was just in time. He leaned against the desk to close the drawer as the door opened.

"Mr. DiNozzo. My daughter tells me you have something to share with us?"

"Yes, she had some convincing arguments." René Benoit chuckled.

"She gets that from her mother. Now tell me what you know about operation Lodestone."

"I have one little request. Can my mother first? I was supposed to meet her today and I don't want her to worry."

"You think we believe that?"

"Ask Jeanne, she was supposed to meet her." La Grenouille looked at Tony, to see if he was lying or telling the truth.

"Fine, but we'll be monitoring your call."

Tony hid his smile. He bluffed about the thing with his mother. Now all he had to do was to convince them to let him use his own phone.

"There is one more thing. She's not much of a people person and never answers an unknown number. So I kinda need to use my own phone."

Tony saw that René was thinking about his statement. Him calling would also take care of an alibi.

"All right you have one minute."

Vladimir untied his hands and La Grenouille handed him his phone.

-----(AN this is the conversation between Jenny and Tony. Jenny's words are italic.)—

"Hi, mom"

"Wh- oh Hello Tony."

"I wanted to tell you that I can't meet you today. Jeanne isn't feeling well."

"I'm sorry dear I hope she feels better soon. You taking good care of her?"

"Of course mom, you know me."

"That's why I asked."

"Very funny. Oh can you tell Brain Dempsey that he's an amateur. He should've never bet that much on a dogracing track. I'm sure when I'll talk to him."

"I will hon. Now go take care of you're girlfriend."

"Bye mom."

"bye hon."

Tony handed over the phone to Vladimir.

"Here, I'll tell you everything I know."

La Grenouille smirked, he never thought it would've been this easy.

Jenny put down her phone. She looked up at Gibbs.

"That was Tony. He talked to me like I was his mom. I think someone was listening in to our conversation. He was asking me to tell Brian Dempsey that he's an amateur. That he never should've bet that much on a dogracing track." She looked a bit confused.

"I know the last part of the code. It's a codeword we came up with during this mission. He said that they were asking him about Lodestone."

Gibbs looked at her for a moment. He remembered the last time a phone call gave him a hint.

"Brain Dempsey. Wasn't that the name of the brother of that guy that held you hostage?"

Jen's eyes lit up.

"You're right, it was. I think he means he's in a hangar or somewhere with planes."

"Yeah, but where?"

The two of them thought it was better to let more people think about this riddle. They walked down the stairs and walked over to Ziva and McGee's desks.

"Does one of you know a link between flying, or planes and amateurs?" Ziva looked up at them.

"A what?"

"DiNozzo called. He said something about Brian Dempsey and amateurs. Dempsey is the guy whose brother kidnapped the Director and the other thing."

"Boss, maybe it has to do something with the amateur flying clubs. I think there are a few just outside the city."

"Good thinking Agent McGee. Why don't you find their names and give them to Abby. We'll head over there now." Jenny complimented McGee and she and Gibbs walked off to the elevator to head for Abby's lab. They stepped inside the elevator. They were the only ones there. As soon as the doors closed Jen bowed her head and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't pulled Tony into this, none of it would've happened."

Gibbs pushed the emergency stopbutton. He lifted her face up and saw the tears in her eyes.

"Listen to me Jen. None of this is you're fault. DiNozzo knew what he was getting into."

Jen let out a small sob.

"I still feel responsible."

Gibbs pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. Jen buried her face in crook of his neck. She smelt his familiar scent. A little caffeine, a little mint and something that was just Jethro. They stood there for a little with their arms wrapped around each other and then he pulled back, he lifed her face with his hands again and wiped her tears away with his thumbs. He wanted to kiss her forehead but she stopped him and put a finger on his lips. He looked stunned. She grinned and brought his face down and let his lips meet hers in a soft kiss. It was their first kiss in a really long time. She wasn't even sure when their last kiss had been. She wrapped her arms around his neck and played a little with his hair. His hands were still on her face, but they slowly made their way down to her hips. Following every curve of her body. She moaned softly into his mouth. This really wasn't the time to be doing this. They had a case to work on.

The case! Jen abruptly ended the kiss.

"We'd better get down to Abby." Gibbs was still surprised about her actions. He wanted to say something but Jen just looked in front of her. Maybe she had been as surprised as he was. The elevator was one floor above their destination. He scraped his throat.

"Jen."

She looked at him. The question was obvious in his eyes. She smiled at him and gave him a peck on the lips.

"It's okay Jethro."

The doors opened and she walked out of the elevator. He was too stunned to follow her. As the doors almost closed he shot back to reality and followed her to Abby's lab.
