Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS as much as I wish I did. Actually I wouldn't mind just having Tim. Enjoy….
"McGee, any idea as to where she could be?" Gibbs asked, coming to stand over his probie's desk.
"Not at the moment, but I'll let you know as soon as I do boss. I'm going to go analyze this video in the lab," Tim said, standing up as he grabbed the CD out of his computer.
His boss stood there nodding his head. "Yea McGee, I think that that would be a good idea," he said, before heading up to find their red-headed director.
"Agent Gibbs, I was just coming to check on you. Do we have anything new yet?" Jen asked, pouring him a drink as well as one for herself.
"Yea Jen we do. We have a constant video stream coming in from what we have traced to be the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, that has my wife chained to a pole," he said, anger more than evident in his voice.
"What else is there, Jethro?" Jen asked as she leaned across her desk; she knew that if she lost Abby then she lost Jethro too.
"Mattie…"
"He has Mattie too?" Jen asked, standing up with her phone in hand.
"No, not yet but he's said if we don't find Abby within twenty-four hours then I will pay for it with the lives of my wife and daughter. Jenny, I can't lose my family, not again. You can pick up the pieces once but you very seldom make it through a relapse," he said, before getting up and heading towards the door. "I won't lose my family again even if it means dying to protect them." And with that he walked back out the door to the middle of his squad room where the image of his wife was still hanging on the plasma. "I'm going to find you Abby."

"DiNozzo? What's up boss?" Tony asked as he answered his phone while watching Ducky tuck in Mattie.
"What, when did this happen?" Tony yelled into his phone before walking out in the hallway.
"Alright I got it, I'm with her at all times. Boss, I know you'll find her," Tony said, before looking down at the weight pulling on his pants leg.
"Tony can I talk to my Daay?"
"Uh boss, Mattie wants to talk to you," he said before handing her the phone.
"Hey Daay!" she started as Tony picked her up to put her back in bed.
"Okay Daay, I'll be a big girl for Ducky and Uncle Tony. I love you," she finished as she handed the phone back to Tony, who leaned down and kissed her cheek before settling down in the chair beside her for the night.
"Uncle Tony, when will my mommy be home?" Mattie asked before she fell asleep.
Tony stared at her for a minute before answering her question. "Soon Mattie, she'll be home soon. I promise."
"Goodnight Uncle Tony, love you."
"Night Mattie, love you too."

"Tony, they sent us video footage of Abby chained to a pole and still unconscious. I don't know if it's a tape and it's just playing constantly or if it's real, but what I do know is who his next victim is….it's Mattie." He heard the younger agent tense at the fact that someone was going to try and hurt his niece.
"Tony, I need you to stay with Mattie at all times, you don't leave her for any reason or at any time. Do you understand me?" Gibbs was tired, ill, and scared. He was scared to lose his family again, knowing that he wouldn't be able to pick up the pieces of his life again, knowing that if he lost them then he wouldn't be returning to work. He wouldn't be able to live.
He heard reassuring words from his senior field agent and all that he could hope was that Tony was right. That he would find her, and he knew that if Tony had that faith in him, then Abby did too.
At that point McGee came through the bullpen with a slight smile on his face. "Boss, while the video was analyzing I ran through the phone records in and out of the lab this morning, and there was a call that was placed three minutes before Abby left the building. It was placed to the daycare center in the building, and since the department monitors all of our calls over the work phones then we have the call recorded. The call was taken by Katie; it says that Mattie was to go home with Abby after work, and that she was going to run home and get some stuff for Mattie on her break so she wouldn't have to do it later when they finished bringing the evidence in this afternoon."
Gibbs stared at him a minute while he took in what he had been told. "So she was taken from the house?"
"Well boss, we don't know if she actually made it to the house or not, but I do know that she made it off the yard because I checked with the security guard that was working that shift and she left the yard at around 1:30 this afternoon."
…Did she make it home, will they find anything to Gibbs save his family? Review should have the next chapter up in a few days. :0
