Tony soon arrived back at NCIS. Almost as soon as he returned, Gibbs was leaving. Once Gibbs was gone, Ziva looked at Tony. "So, what did you find?" She inquired.

"What are you talking about?" Tony asked.

"I know you went to the hospital Tony. What did you find?"

"I'm not exactly sure, but I can tell you that Gibbs is not sick." Tony answered, setting down at his desk. He then began to type some things up on his computer. After a few more moments, he had found the woman from the hospital.

"What is it, Tony?" McGee inquired.

Tony looked at his teammates. "When I got to the hospital, Gibbs's dad was there. He came out of a room in the ICU and I hid from him. Once he was gone I went to the room he had been in." Tony began telling his tale. "And you'll never believe who I found in the room."

"Who, Tony?" Ziva asked, getting tired of Tony's theatrics and just wanting him to get to the point.

"A redhead. She was unconcious and had thise huge thing of white gauze on her forehead and all these bruises..."

"Tony, did you get her name?" Ziva asked, clearly frustrated.

"Yes, Charity Gibbs." Tony answered.

"So, she's a relation to Gibbs?" McGee asked.

"Yes." Tony answered. Then he gestured for them to come closer.

Ziva and McGee stood and walked over to Tony's desk. They looked at the screen. "Staff Sergeant Charity Faith Gibbs." Ziva read.

They all read more information about the woman in the hospital, but they still didn't find out anything about how she was related to Gibbs. "You know, I have this theory that Gibbs got remarried and didn't tell anybody." Tony said.

"She's young enough to be his daughter." McGee countered.

"But she's a redhead." Tony replied. "We all know how Gibbs is about redheads."

"Plus, some women do like older men." Ziva suggested. "But there's something about her that makes me think that is not the case."

"I agree." McGee replied.

The trio stared at the screen, staring at the picture of Charity. Tony turned his attention to the woman's eyes. They were crystal blue and looked keen, sharp, like they missed nothing. Then it hit him. "She has to be his daughter."

Gibbs...

Gibbs led Abby and Duckie through the hospital and to Charity's room. Abby was carrying a bouquet of black roses and baby's breath. They entered Charity's room and Jackson was asleep in the chair next to the bed.

Gibbs walked over to his father and gently shook him awake. Jackson looked up. "Oh, hello LJ." He greeted.

"Hey Dad. Any changes?" Gibbs asked.

"Not yet." Jackson answered. Then he looked over and saw Abby and Duckie on the other side of the room. "Hello, Abby, Duckie."

Abby smiled and set the flowers down on the table next to the bed. She then walked around and hugged Jackson. "Hi Jackson." she greeted. "It's good to see you...just not like this."

Jackson nodded. "I agree." Then he was shaking Duckie's hand.

Abby stood beside Charity's bed. She placed her hand in Charity's. She wanted to say something to her, but she wasn't sure what. "I think I need some coffee." Gibbs spoke up. "Anybody else need anything?"

"I could use a bite to eat." Jackson agreed.

"I could as well." Duckie agreed, catching on to the fact that Gibbs was going to give Abby a moment alone with Charity.

"Do you need anything while we're gone, Abs?" Gibbs asked.

"No thank you." Abby answered.

Gibbs wrapped an arm around her and squeezed. Then he let go and leaned over Charity. He kissed her cheek. "I love you baby girl." He whispered to her. Then he and the other two men headed out of the room.

Once they were gone, Abby looked down at Charity. "Charity, you have to wake up. Your dad and grandpa need you. I need you, too. You are my best friend and I've been missing you like crazy this last year."

Gibbs...

Gibbs, Duckie, and Jackson were heading for the elevator. Gibbs pushed the down button. The elevator doors opened and just as they were getting ready to step on, they were met by Tony, Ziva, and McGee.

"What are you three doing here?" Gibbs asked.

"We know about your daughter, boss." McGee answered.

Gibbs looked over his team. Then he centered his blue gaze on Tony. Then he gave him a head slap.

"What was that for boss?" Tony asked.

"I know you're the one who had to have found out." Gibbs answered.

"McGee helped by tracking your cell phone boss." Tony replied.

Gibbs gave McGee a head slap as well. Then he got Ziva as well. "That is for going along with him."

"We just wanted you to know that we are here for you, Gibbs." Ziva told him.

The group then noticed that Duckie was there. "What are you doing here Duckie?" McGee asked.

"I've known Charity as long as I've known Gibbs." Duckie replied.

Gibbs let out a sigh. "You might as well come on. I'm sure we've given Abby enough time alone with Charity."

"Abby's here, too?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, they're best friends." Gibbs answered.

They all walked back down the hall and entered Charity's room. Abby looked up as the group entered. "So, you guys found out." She stated.

"Yes, Tony couldn't keep his ears out of it." Ziva answered.

"Nose, Ziva, nose." Tony corrected her.

"So, what happened, boss?" McGee asked, looking at Gibbs.

Gibbs let out a sigh. "They won't tell me. It's classified." Gibbs answered. He then walked over to the chair beside the bed and sat down, heavilly. He looked at his daughter, staring at her, as if he could will her awake with his mind.

No one was really sure what to say, so everybody just sat there in silence. After a few moments, Charity's eyes flew open and she sat up quickly. Her eyes were wild and seeing something that was not in the hospital room. She let out a scream and started thrashing trying to get out of the bed. Gibbs jumped up and grabbed Charity's arm and pushed her back. "Restrain her other side, DiNozzo." Gibbs ordered.

Tony rushed over and helped Gibbs push Charity back into the bed. Abby ran out to get a nurse. Gibbs tried to jar Charity out of her flashback. "Charity! Baby girl! Calm down! You're safe."

"I have to find Katie! I have to find her!" Charity screamed, thrashing against her father and Tony.

"Staff Sergeant Gibbs!" Gibbs said, trying to find a way to get to his daughter. "You are in the hospital! You're safe now!"

Charity seemed to calm down. Then she blinked a few times, as if clearing her eyes. She looked up at her father. "Daddy?" She asked, her voice calm and sound so innocent.

"Yes, baby girl. It's me."

"Where am I?" She asked.

"Bathesda."

Charity then looked around the room and took in all the faces, a few familiar and a few she didn't know. "Why am I here?" She asked. "How did I get here?"

"I don't know baby girl." Gibbs answered. "They said that you were on a classified mission."

Charity tried to think back to what happened before she blacked out, but she couldn't remember. She couldn't even remember going on a mission. She turned her head and looked at who else was holding her back. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Tony DiNozzo." Tony answered.

Charity nodded. Then she looked at both the men holding her back. "You guys can let me go now."

Gibbs and Tony slowly released Charity. Just then Abby reentered the room, a nurse right behind her. "Alright, how are you doing sweetheart?" The nurse asked Charity.

"I'm okay." Charity answered.

The nurse motioned for Tony and Gibbs to move. She checked Charity over, reading the machines and taking notes. "Blood pressure is a little high." She mumbled. "The doctor will be in in a few minutes to check you out more thoroughly." Then the nurse left.

"I hate doctors." Charity mumbled. Then she looked up as Abby was rushing over to her.

"Charity! I'm so glad you're awake!" She squealed, pulling Charity into a tight hug.

"Easy Abby." Charity said.

"Sorry." Abby replied, letting Charity go.

Charity then looked at her father. "Okay, so since that's Tony, I'm assuming that those to are Ziva and McGee?" She asked.

Gibbs nodded.

"Wait a second, you knew about us, but we didn't know about you?" Tony asked.

"Yup." Charity answered.
