NCIS: The Only Fear, is Fear Itself

A/N: Hey everyone. I didn't know if I was gonna be able to get the strength to post a chapter tonight. My day was not good at all. I probably half killed my kidneys so far with tea, and chocolate as well, but oh well.

Anyways, on a better note..

There's a song, that I've loved.. for the longest time. "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. The words.. how they flow.. their meaning. The sound of her voice. So powerful.

Anyways, I have to warn you... I tend to say 'Anyways' or in my friend's words 'Get this' and.. 'and' lol.

So, here's another chapter. Thank you all for the reviews!

Also, as well, here is another Warning issued for this chapter, as well as every one, to be on the safe side.

Forever more,

Semper Fi,

Ellie

"Prints match Kyle Dunham." Tony brings up his profile on the plasma.

McGee indicates the address. "That's Abby's address boss."

Everyone looks at Gibbs.

"Gibbs? Did you know about this, yes?" Ziva's accent came out as she asked.

"Yeah. Abby came home with me, after she called McGee's phone." Gibbs paused. "He attacked her in her lab."

"How did he get to her? I mean, security... with security guards on guard at all times." McGee pointed out.

"Maybe he got a visitor's pass?" Tony asked, speaking up.

"He'd have to have a good reason for needing one."

"I went down to her lab after she hung up on me. Couldn't find her there, so I went to the morgue. She was in there alone. That was when I noticed the bruises and cuts. I called Ducky. He came in rather quickly, and did an exam."

"Did he find much?" Ziva asked.

"Actually, a lot."

"Boss?" McGee asks, concerned.

"She left my house. Needed to be alone, and said she'd meet me at work." Gibbs paused. "I called McGee, told him to call and then to call Abby."

"Abby didn't pick up either phone, and that's when Probie looked on the GPS." Tony spoke up.

"Which led to the front of NCIS Navy Yard." Ziva cut in.

"She was 5 weeks pregnant. Her back had suffered the blunt forces of the beatings."

"Was pregnant?" Ziva spoke up.

"Miscarried."

"Did she know?"

"Nope." Gibbs paused. "When we find this guy, I want him either dead, or restrained immediately."

"Yes boss! Nobody hurts our Angel of Darkness and gets away with it." Tony said, ready for action.

A beep rings out. Everyone checks their phone.

"Not mine." Ziva says.

"Mines dead." Tony says, as he plugs it in.

"It's Abby's." McGee says, taking it out of the evidence bag.

'1 New Text Message'

"McGee?"

"Text message. From earlier Boss." McGee says, plugging the phone into the computer.

Typing, McGee puts it on the plasma.

"Special Agent Gibbs. You want Abby? I want my money. One million dollars, hand delivered by you. Keep Abby's phone near for more information." Ziva reads out, looking at Gibbs.

"How are we gonna get the money boss?" McGee asked, worried.

"I'm figuring that out now McGee." Gibbs says.

Another beep.

McGee opens the new text.

Ziva gasps. "Oh my god."

Tony watched McGee's face turn from worried to sick.

"Excuse me." Mcgee gets out, and starts a slow run to the men's restroom.

Ziva gets up. "I'll go after him."

Gibbs shakes his head. "I got it." He whispers.

Ziva nods and sits back down, head in hands, as Tony looks in shock at the pictures.

----------- ---------------------

Gibbs walks into the bathroom and is suddenly met with the noise of retching, from McGee.

The toilet flushes, and McGee walks out from the stall.

He looks up, embarrassed. "I'm sorry.. Boss. I can handle things like that, but that.. that's.. Abby."

Gibbs nods and speaks up. "I know McGee. Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness. You're nowhere near weak, McGee."

McGee splashes his face with the cold water from the faucet. "We'll find her. Right?"

Gibbs nodded. "Alive." He paused. "We'll die trying."

Tim nodded. "That we will."

Gibbs holds the door open for McGee as they make their way back to the bullpen.

------------------------- ----------------------------- -------------------------------------- ------------------------------

"What do we have?"

"Besides the fact, that this lunatic beat Abby to a pulp?"

"DiNozzo."

"Right. Well, one million dollars. Ziva's talking to Director Shepard about that. We're waiting on another text."

"The texts are coming in from his phone, but the system needs to sort through the jumping coordinates. They're all over the place, so I'm working on them now."

"We'll need to involve FBI in this. Gibbs may not like it, but right now, it's necessary." Director Jenny Shepard's voice came out, as she came down the steps from her office.

"You make the call Jen, but I'm lead." Gibbs said sternly, and with eye contact.

"Can you stay objective Jethro?" She asked, challenging him.

"You know damn well I am Director." Gibbs said, getting pissed off.

"Very well." Jen heads upstairs to her office.

"Jen, can you get-

"Tobias, I know Jethro." Shepard cuts in as she disappears.

"Okay now. Let's find out Angel of Darkness." Tony says, wanting to break the silence.

A/N: Speaking of songs, I absolutely LOVE Lady Gaga's new song "Just Dance". Also, Happy 23rd Birthday to Lady Gaga today, 3/20.

Yes, I'm posting this late, cause last night was an utter night of depression for me. School, people, and trying to stay sane, hurts. I may be posting a little late next week, cause I reckon I'll be getting some sort of detention from an argument or something... Who knows.. I have no idea..

Anyways, I just realized I'm rambling. I don't know why, I usually do that when I'm sad. So, please excuse my.. babels..

Anyways... Leave me a happy review? I'll try to post again tonight! Good chapter coming up!

Always,
Semper Fi,

Ellie
