A/N: Oh yeah, did I mention I was an All-Star cheerleader? Yup, it's the sport I LIVE for. So that's why I put that little cheer relation in the last chapter. Haha. I still have a slight headache but I feel much better from this past weekend. For a small part of the story, there won't be a lot of dialogue. But later on will be . Ok! ON WITH THE STORY!

Disclaimer: HONESTLY! IT'S NOT MINE *sighs*

PREVIOUSLY ON 'HELP!'

"Grab your gear!" Gibbs roared.

Samantha went up to Gibbs. "Please, can I go Gibbs? I know I'm a child but you guys need me."

Gibbs sighed "I'm sorry, but I don't think I could see another child get taken from their parents again."

Samantha shoulders slumped, defeated she said "Okay. But call me AS SOON as you find them and they are ok."

Gibbs smiled "You can bet on that."

The team got in the Charger and sped off to the church. Ziva was driving (because they would have made it in half the time) Gibbs in the front seat and Tony and McGee in the back. Ziva was worried about Samantha's parents. She knows how it feels to lose a parent. After she lost her mother, she was depressed and she threw herself into Mossad. She did not want that happening to Samantha.

The team pulled up to the church and saw that there were no trucks around. "Good. They are not here. Easier than we thought." They kicked the door in with their gun drawn. They saw Samantha's parents were unconscious. They also saw other bodies, assuming it was some of the kidnappers. McGee was already calling for an ambulance and Gibbs and Ziva were checking for a pulse. Happy that they found one on both of them they were checking with Tony to see if there were any cameras anywhere. They didn't find one but they found a laptop closed in the corner next to Shelby. Tony ran to the car a bagged the laptop so it could be processed by Abby.

The ambulance arrived about 5 minutes later. Gibbs signaled Tony and Ziva to stay with Samantha's parents while Gibbs and McGee process the scene. Tony's and Ziva's heart jumped out of their chest. How would this go?

Ziva called Samantha in the ambulance.

"Hello?" Samantha answered nervously and anxiously

Ziva smiled "Samantha, we got your parents. Alive."

Samantha sighed in relief. "Thank you so much. I don't think I would be able to make it without them. They are my world. Thank you so much."

Ziva was glad that she kept her promise. Breaking promises was not her thing. She couldn't imagine her breaking her promise to a young girl. Shaking her head out of her thoughts, she had to tell Samantha that she needed to be at the hospital because her parents were injured.

"Samantha? You have to visit the hospital. Your parents were unconscious when we found them and we are unsure for how long."

Samantha started sniffling. "What hospital?" Samantha was terrified but she had to be strong for her parents.

Ziva heard Samantha sniffle. "Bethesda Naval Hospital. Samantha, they will be ok. They are strong."

Samantha believed and trusted Ziva. "Ok. See you at the hospital" She sniffled and she hung up.

Ziva and Tony look at each other. Ziva saw that Tony looked concerned about Samantha. She smiled inwardly because she sees how much he cares about Samantha. They get along very well from what she saw.

"Samantha is fine. She is just very worried about her parents. She is scared. She does not want to lose her parents at a young age. And I understand how she feels." Ziva said as she looks down. Memories of her mother dying came back to her all at once.

Tony saw this and took Ziva's hands. "Ziva look at me." Ziva looks up at him sadly. He couldn't stand seeing his ninja sad.

"Ziva, it is ok. I know how it is to lose a parent. My mother died when I was 8. You aren't the only one who lost a parent. The pain will never go away. But you are around people who care about you and love you. We wouldn't trade you for anything."

Ziva smiled gratefully at Tony. Hearing that someone close to her also lost a parent at a young age.

"Thank you Tony." Ziva said

"Anytime Zip." Tony smiled

As they arrived at Bethesda, they see that Samantha is already there. They rush to Tony and Ziva after the paramedic pushed her aside.

"How are they? What happened? They are going to live right? Please tell me that they are going to live!" Samantha broke down and sobbed. She has been strong for too long. Sometimes, you just have to put down your walls and cry. Normally, Samantha preferred to do it in private, alone in her room. Not in public in the waiting room of a hospital.

Ziva caught her in time and gave a concerned look to Tony. Tony had the same look of concern on her face. Tony led Ziva and Samantha to the chair as Samantha sobbed in Ziva's arms. Ziva was whispering comforting words in her ears while Tony's phone rang and he saw it was Gibbs.

"DiNozzo." Tony answered.

"Tony, how is Samantha?" Gibbs asked concerned

Tony sighed. "Gibbs, she is a wreck. She is terrified and she is crying in Ziva's arms."

"Tell her to hang in there. Turns out that the lead man killed his men and left. We think that he wanted them dead so they wouldn't get in the way of his plan. Whatever that is. We think it as something to do with Vance since he knows the lead man. McGee is working on a name now."

"Ok thanks Boss." Tony said before Gibbs hangs up

Tony moves back to the waiting room with Ziva and Samantha and Samantha has stopped crying. She was still sniffling and her eyes were still red. "How about I get us some coffee, tea, and some warm strawberry milk?"

Samantha looked up at Tony and smiled "How did you know that I liked strawberry milk?"

Tony smiled "I saw you drink it this morning."

Samantha smiled "I love strawberry milk. It calms me. Not many people like it though. But I'm not normal anyway." She shrugs as everyone chuckles.

While Tony left to go and get their drinks and Samantha turns to Ziva.

"Tony seems like a good guy. Reminds me of my boyfriend. He knows everything I like and don't like. He cares." Samantha drifted off

Ziva saw where this was going but she had to ask to finish her statement. "What does Tony and your boyfriend have in common?"

Samantha smirked "They both care Ziva." She left it at that. Ziva didn't need a further explanation.

Ziva was thinking to herself. That bond that she and Tony shared, the touches, the looks, everything. She may love him but she is scared that he doesn't feel the same way. She won't be able to handle the rejection. He has seen her with her walls down. Her thoughts came to an end when the doctor came into the room.

"Family of Darnell Washington and Shelby Hope?"

Ziva and Samantha stood up looking anxious

"That's us. Are they ok Doctor?" Samantha asked
