A/N: We're getting closer and closer for the team to find the kidnapper. Woo!
Ziva entered the garage of NCIS with her car as she was very nostalgic and longing for this building for many months now after Vance sent her straight back to Israel and back to Mossad. She was disappointed that she was back home. Her relationship with her father was as bad as Tony's relationship with his father. But one thing she could never regret is meeting Michael. A charming man, about Tony's age and height, with curly hair, almond eyes and the most romantic person in her eyes. Just as they thought they would be together no matter what, the crime hit again with Abby as a hostage in the arms of a serial killer and kidnapper. They knew nothing about him, yet Ziva felt extremely bad if she wasn't there for Abby, since Abby was always by her side in bad and good. She opened her car door and headed towards the elevator when he saw McGee and Gibbs with the company car, returning from somewhere. They both seemed upset, in a hurry. They quickly got out of the car and headed towards Ziva. Both McGee and Gibbs hugged Ziva, happy to see her, but something was very wrong. ''What's wrong, Gibbs?'' McGee bit her lip and Gibbs pressed the call button of the elevator. ''High chance that the kidnapper is Chip.'' She looked shocked. ''Abby's assistant who tried to frame Tony and kill her? How do you know?'' Gibbs nodded and McGee spoke. ''Tony's girlfriend works with the FBI, so she saw a picture of him and she thought she saw him walking at the street, rather than being in jail right now.'' She raised her eyebrows. ''Tony has a girlfriend?'' The elevator came and they both got in. Gibbs pressed the button and turned to look at her. ''For every detail that McGee told you, you wonder about Tony's girlfriend?'' McGee smiled and Ziva shook her head. ''And what happened?'' This time, Gibbs spoke. ''We went down to the department to see if Chip is still in jail and it seems that he actually got out. A friend of his paid, so they actually let him walk.'' Ziva nodded and the elevator doors opened. Gibbs spoke. ''McGee, find any clues as where this scumbag is heading. Ziva, catch up with McGee and speak with the department to give you more information about this friend of his. I'm going to MTAC to contact Dinozzo.'' Both McGee and Ziva nodded, heading to their desks. ''So, is this girlfriend of his serious or is it just a fling?'' McGee looked at her. ''Serious, like Jeanne serious.'' Ziva looked at McGee and sighed. ''I just hope and pray that this time it's not a mission and he won't screwdriver up!'' McGee looked at her. ''Screwdriver is a tool, I think you mean screw it up.'' Ziva rolled her eyes and McGee laughed, he missed those days where they were all together. He just keeps praying that Tony will come back, Abby will come back and then they're complete. That's all he needs, that's all he ever needed. The team cannot afford to lose more members, not anymore.
Gibbs entered and MTAC as Fornell was waiting for him in there. ''I have news.'' Fornell nodded. ''I've heard. This time I think we got him.'' Tony's camera opened, revealing both Gibbs and Fornell. Tony approached along with Sarah. ''Boss, any news?'' Gibbs and Fornell nodded. ''Jayden was right, Tony. Chip is out of prison now. Someone paid and let him out.'' Tony sighed. ''What do you want us to do now, boss?'' Gibbs looked at Fornell and then back to Tony. ''Stand by, Dinozzo.'' He cut the connection. Sarah sighed. ''So, now we wait again…'' Tony hit his hand on the table. ''I hate waiting when I know that someone in our team is in danger. And especially Abby…she's like my sister…damnit!'' Sarah hugged him tight.
Ziva got off the phone. Gibbs was heading to the bullpen. ''Gibbs, I got information about who let him out. His name is Dean Winchester, he is an agent afloat, but was recently put back to FBI, so I suppose that today he's leaving the ship.'' Gibbs widened his eyes and started running towards MTAC. As he got connected he saw Tony. ''Tony, the guy who paid Chip to get out is Dean! Get him!'' Both Sarah and Tony took their badge, gun and started running, asking around to find Dean. No one had a clue where he could be. The ship was about to leave the shore again. As Tony was running he saw Dean getting off the ship as it was moving towards the sea and away from the shore. Tony looked at Sarah and he ran, whereas Sarah kept shaking her head and screaming his name to stop. Tony screamed. ''Winchester!'' Dean turned and looked at Tony and started running. Tony jumped off the ship and on the board of the shore. He got up and started running, leaving behind Sarah who begged for him to come back.
As both Dean and Tony kept running and shoving people around, Tony figured to scare Dean, so he took out his gun and shot in the air, causing Dean to fall down and Tony to catch up with him, handcuffing him. ''Apparently, we need to talk.'' Tony said panting. Sarah quickly headed back to her room and contacted Gibbs. ''Agent Gibbs, Tony set foot on Washington in pursuit of Winchester. I am still afloat, but I can't stop the ship or do anything else.'' Gibbs widened his eyes. ''I'll talk with Fornell and if he accepts, we will tell the captain to return.'' She nodded, worrying for Tony.
Tony and Dean went and sat in a café. ''Why did you run?'' Dean shook his head. ''I was scared. I thought that you were chasing me to make me come back at the ship. I thought you contacted with agent Fornell and he refused to let me off the ship. I wanted to get off that ship as quickly as possible. It's a nightmare, I can't take being on that ship, agent Dinozzo.'' Tony nodded. ''We learned that you recently paid for a man to get out of jail. Why?'' Dean raised his eyebrows. ''Wouldn't you do the same for your brother…?'' Tony widened his eyes, looking at Dean. ''Chip…is your brother…?'' Dean nodded. ''And you know what was he accused of?'' Dean nodded again and spoke. ''So, I helped him.'' Tony stood up and handcuffed him. '' You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.''
