Tony turned and headed back to the ballpen almost running he had to find out before he said anything to the rest of the team he had to be sure

Gibbs Looked at the retreating form of his senior field agent wondering what he was going to do. He hadn't failed to notice how Tony went pale as he saw the evidence Gibbs wondered why. With a last look at Abby he went and followed Tony he had a few questions that needed to be answered.

Tony turned and headed back to the ballpen almost running he had to find out before he said anything to the rest of the team he had to be sure. Sitting at his desk he ignored Ziva and McGee's questioning looks he turned on his computer and typed in the search he wanted and waited hoping he was wrong. But the words that flashed on his screen showed his worse fears. He read the words again but they didn't change Lucas Fletcher had been released from prison. He started to see red as anger washed through him how could no one tell him that the murdering bastard was out and about. His hand curled into fists as he finally understood that that was what Simon had wanted to tell him. Taking calming breaths he slowly uncurled his hands and pushed all his emotions to the back of his head. Picking up the phone he dialled a number that would result in terrible memories but he had no choice he had to get that bastard back behind bars.

"Hey Julie" Tony said when the phone was picked up. "It's Tony I need every thing you have for the 1980 case of those missing girls…"

Gibbs finally arrived to see Tony put down his phone walking over to him he stopped and waited expecting an answer to his silent question.

"Boss I think I may have a suspect" Tony said

"Well do you need an invitation DiNozzo or are you going to let the rest of us know" Gibbs asked slightly surprised although he didn't let it show.

"Lucas Fletcher" Tony said bitterly "In 1980 a load of girls aged in between 5-9 went missing nothing connected them apart from that the kidnapper always left one of his victims shoe and a red ribbon and a week later the body would be found naked near the place they disappeared from the girls had all been raped and tortured."

Tony felt his anger start to rise to the surface but he clamped down on it, now was not the time.

"This guy was good he left no evidence and was never caught for it" Tony said this was the part he was dreading having to say. He knew that the team didn't need to know about his connection with the last victim. Even if they looked at the files they would never find that the last victim had been his sister Rachel. His father not wanting to put shame on the family name had used his power to change her name. He wouldn't have to see the pity he didn't deserve he just had to pull this off, act like this case wasn't personal to him. He could do this he just had to lock all his feelings and memories away with a glance at Gibbs' impatient face he carried on.

"The last victim's brother saw a suspicious car go round a multiple times before his sister's disappearance he was able to memorise the car licence plate. The car had been reported stolen a BOLO was sent out and within an hour the car was found with Lucas Fletcher driving. The car was searched but all they found was 2kg of cocaine nothing else to say he was the kidnapper. But after he was in jail all kidnappings stopped and it would be a big coincidence that as soon as his out of jail they start up again." Tony finished.

"I don't believe in coincidences, find this guy" Gibbs said

"How do you know about this case Tony you would have only been 9 when it happened?" McGee asked.

Gibbs looked to Tony he was also curious as to why Tony knew the case so well.

"Why do you want to know mcgeek" Tony asked he had been hoping no one would notice trust McGee to be good at math.

"I would like to know this as well" Ziva said

Inside Tony's head he was thinking of possible sinarios that could explain he knowledge of the case. Saying that it happened near him was out he would never know about Fletcher that part was never in the news. Thinking it over he came up with the only answer he could without telling them the truth.

"Ever heard of going over cold cases" Tony answered

After that explanation everyone got back to trying to find out the current whereabouts of Fletcher. Gibbs kept sneaking worried looks at Tony he hadn't forgotten about his injuries and he intended to find whoever had done it and make them pay, no one hurt one of his especially Tony. He shook that thought away he cared equally about his team but Tony's special an inner voice told him mentally slapping himself he decided he needed more coffee.

The rest of the day went by with no more lead as to the whereabouts of either Fletcher or Mary Adams. Any leads they did get ended at dead ends by 12:00 Gibbs decided to call it a day and let his team get some rest.

"Go home and get some rest" Gibbs ordered everyone they all started to turn off computers and leave their desks all except Tony.

"DiNozzo hear what I said" Gibbs said to his senior field agent.

"Yeah one minute more Boss" Tony mumbled

"No you can start again tomorrow" Gibbs said gentler

Tony got up without anymore fuss and started to pack up once he was ready he left he didn't plan to stay at home long anyway.

"Um Boss I kind of didn't bring my car to work today so…" Tony said trailing off embarrassed.

"Sure DiNozzo I'll give you a lift" Gibbs said

The drive to Tony's apartment was quite neither said a word until they reached Tony's apartment

"Thanks Boss" Tony said just as he was about to close the door Gibbs stopped him.

"DiNozzo if there's anything you ever need to talk about you know my doors always open" Gibbs said

Tony thought that Gibbs would be the last person he talked to maybe before he had left but not now it was all different once he had abandoned him.

"Or if you don't want to talk to me you know there's always Abby or Ducky, just don't bottle it up" Gibbs said as if he had just read Tony's mind

"Sure boss" Tony said and plastered on one of his trademark smiles and turned to his apartment as Gibbs drove off.

Reaching his door he realised that he had given Simon his key he didn't want to wake him up but having no choice he knocked. It felt weird to knock on his own door he could hear moment in his apartment. After some time the door was opened to reveal a sleepy Simon. Not needing to say anything he shut the door on his way in and made his way to his bedroom. Changing he got into his bed and closed his eyes and was asleep in seconds.

That's when the nightmares started.

Thanks for all you reviews I'm soooo happy. I can't believe I've written so much it's really weird this is the most I've written about one thing. I might not be able to update for a while as I have been neglecting my coursework. Bad me. So I have to get that done.
