During the next week Tony and Kelly decided what they wanted to do with their rooms including painting the furniture with new bedding and decorations. Tony didn't want much on the walls but when they rode to the thrift store they found stuff they liked or could fix up for the room. They were going to paint the following week and then Jackson said he'd have new carpet put in the rooms for them and then they would put the rooms back together. On one of the cooler days Tony and Kelly head to the park to have a picnic before feeding the ducks.

"Can we go by the store again on the way home?"

"Sure today's when they put new stuff out so we might find some more stuff. I want to find bookcases for the room."

"Why don't you go to the furniture warehouse? That's where daddy went shopping for the guest room it used to be my playroom but then he turned it into a guest room. I bet they have bookcases."

"I didn't know about it but I'll ask him when we get home." A small boy joins them sitting on the blanket. "Hi there,"

"Hi," Kelly giggles as Tony looks around knowing someone had to be looking for him.

"Where's your mommy?"

"Her work,"

"Where's your daddy?" The little boy shrugs and Tony sighs. "Well someone's looking for you. Who brought you?"

"Char E, him go potty."

"Okay stay with Kelly and I'll go look for Charlie. Give him a juice Kel." It didn't take long for Tony to find the teenage boy looking frantically around. "Are you missing a kid?"

"Yeah did you see him? I turned my back for one second and ..."

"He joined us for our picnic. I figured someone would be looking for him but he's sharing a juice with my sister."

"Sorry about that I thought he would stay with me but he wanted to see the ducks." At the blanket Kelly and the boy were sharing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Sorry he wanted some when I made one."

"It's okay and thank you. He likes peanut butter and jelly. Did you say thank you Jimmy?" Jimmy grins with jelly over his mouth.

"Fank yoo." They chuckle as an ice cream man came by.

"I'm going to grab a soda, do you want one?"

"Uh … I don't have money on me."

"I got it, what do you want?" Tony could see they probably didn't have much money and he didn't mind buying them a drink. After sharing the packed lunch and letting Kelly and Jimmy feed the ducks they ran around the playground. "Are you from around here?"

"Yeah, it's just us and my mom. Are you?"

"Yeah it's me, Kelly and our dad. He's adopting me later this summer but I'm pretty much new to this area."

"Do you know what school you're going to?"

"Some charter school apparently my grades are outstanding. I mean school's super easy for me but I don't want to go to a special school for it."

"I wish school was easy for me. Mom expects me to do outstanding in school though I have to care for Jimmy after school and I can't stay up late to do my homework because he's asleep and she has to get up for work early. I'm lucky I haven't flunked out yet."

"That's too bad, I don't know what the new school will be like. What school do you go to? Maybe I can go there instead where I won't stick out like a sore thumb." Charlie looks at him and Tony can tell he's trying to figure out why he would stick out. "My name is Tony DiNozzo Junior."

"Sorry that name means nothing to me."

"Well that's a good thing. I was adopted as an infant by Anthony DiNozzo Senior and he has this big business in New York. The name sometimes turns heads and I'm getting adopted again so I'll be Gibbs this time."

"Well I'm Charlie Palmer and that's Jimmy." Later when Tony and Kelly went home Gibbs was there.

"Daddy, you're home early."

"Yeah well the machines shut down so we can't continue until tomorrow. What did you guys do today?" Kelly told him about Jimmy and Charlie and playing in the park. Gibbs smiles seeing Tony distracted.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah just thinking about them. There's something about Charlie that seems familiar but it just makes me think of Anthony and Mama." Something occurs to Tony and he goes upstairs to find a photo album and Gibbs follows him up.

"Are you missing them?"

"No … I mean yes but all afternoon I thought I knew him from somewhere and … let me ask Kelly." Gibbs didn't recognize anyone in the picture other than Anthony and a younger Tony. "Hey Kel, other than me and Anthony do you recognize anyone here?"

"Yeah that looks like the other kid. He didn't look like that though … did you know him?"

"Yeah that was my cousin … they called him Chuckie and I remember after Mama died he disappeared. I'm not sure what happened but he was just gone. This is Aunt Camille … he said their last name was Palmer but that's not her last name. It's been a few years but I'm sure its him." Gibbs looks at the pictures.

"What do you want to do? Do you even know where he lives?"

"Yeah he said we could go over if we want to hang out. He takes care of his little brother while his mom works but I don't know what to do."

"Will Anthony have any idea of what happened to him?"

"Yeah maybe … I mean Aunt Camille was Mama's best friend and our families hung out all the time. He didn't know the DiNozzo name though ..."

"Well call up Anthony if you know how to reach him. Maybe it's legit and something happened to make Charlie forget. Sometimes if something hurts you then you tend to forget about it." Tony dials DiNozzo Enterprises straight to Anthony's office.

"DiNozzo Enterprises, Lorraine speaking how may I direct your call."

"Hey Lorraine, it's Junior."

"Junior, how are you? It's been a long time since I've heard your voice. I heard you got adopted."

"Yeah something like that. I'm okay but I'm looking for Anthony. Is he in?"

"Yeah he's in a meeting but let me buzz him." Anthony was on the phone in 30 seconds.

"Junior, is everything okay? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine something happened though. Do you remember Aunt Camille and Uncle Arthur?"

"Of course, Arthur Parkerson still works for me. If you're going to tell me you want to talk to them when you won't see your grandparents ..."

"No, not quite like that. Whatever happened to Chuckie? I remember something happened but you never talked about it." Anthony sat back in his chair and Tony could hear it squeak.

"What's with all the questions Junior? Did something happen?"

"I was just going through some pictures and was thinking about him. I've been thinking about Nonie and Poppy too but ..." Anthony knew he was hiding something.

"His birth mother kidnapped him right after Elizabeth died. Camille and Arthur were busy trying to help us and doing things that needed to be done that she saw the chance and took it. They blame themselves for it and that's why they stopped coming around. Why?"

"Just a kid reminded me of him today. I should go but if you hear from Nonie and Poppy tell them I said hi and I've been thinking about them."

"Okay, let me know if you need anything." They hang up and Gibbs looks at him.

"He was kidnapped when we were kids but I don't even know if that's him. His biological mom took him but ..." Gibbs sighs and he looks at the picture. "Go over tomorrow and show him the picture. If he's kidnapped then maybe he can get help since you know how to find his parents." The next day Tony went over before lunch.

"Hey Tony, I didn't think you would come over after all."

"Why not? I mean I said I would come by if I got a chance."

"Yeah well most people say that to be polite. Come in, mom went to work but you can come over." Tony went inside and saw Jimmy playing with toys. "Where's Kelly?"

"She's at home with Gibbs. The machines at his job aren't working right so they can't work until they're fixed. I need to ask you something but I'm not sure how ..." Charlie looks at him and looks away. "I found this picture last night."

"You know who I am?" Tony nods,

"I spoke to Anthony last night and he said you were kidnapped … did you know this?" Charlie nods,

"I've always known but I can't get in touch with them. I mean I could go to the police any time but then what's going to happen to Jimmy? Mom's always said if the cops find me they'll take Jimmy and put him in foster care while she goes to jail." Tony frowns thinking about that as he didn't like foster care himself. "Does anyone else know?"

"I talked to Anthony but I said you reminded me of Chuckie though I didn't give many details and Gibbs knows. I don't trust Anthony though I'm sure he knows something's going on." Charlie looks at the picture and then to Jimmy.

"I miss them and Mom's … I thought you looked familiar yesterday too but this was a long time ago. I wouldn't even know how to reach them or ..."

"I do," Charlie looks at him and Tony shrugs. "I called Anthony yesterday because I still think of them as my Aunt and Uncle. Uncle Arthur still works with him and I'm sure he knows something's going on. Anthony will always take my calls I'm sure, all we have to do is call him to have Uncle Arthur call here."

"Will this Gibbs help? I mean I don't know him but you said he was going to adopt you. Or will he help Jimmy at least so he doesn't end up in a foster home?"

"I don't know for sure but it's a good possibility. He took me in as a foster child and then decided to adopt me. I just can't call him dad yet."

"Okay, let me get a few things and then we'll go." While Charlie was packing stuff for him and Jimmy even though he was quick the cops show up. They try to leave but a woman detective approaches them.

"Are you the children of Gabrielle Palmer?" Tony shakes his head and Charlie nods.

"Okay you two are … Charlie and Jimmy and who are you?"

"Tony Gibbs, just a friend." The lady nods,

"I need your parents information to contact them and pick you up from the police station."

"What? I didn't do anything."

"I know you and the boy are innocent but he was packing to leave and you were in a drug house. We have to take you down to the station just to talk to them about what's going on." Tony thought Gibbs was going to kill him but when he got there Tony told him what was going on with Charlie. Gibbs talked to a few people including child services.

"The FBI are coming for you Charlie to return you to New York with your parents. I gave them the information for DiNozzo Enterprises since Tony found out he was still working there."

"What about Jimmy? I don't want him to go to a foster home? I mean I didn't ..."

"He's not, he's coming home with us. I have a foster care license and he knows Tony and Kelly. Your mom was arrested on a drug trafficking charge and that's why the police went to your house. If your dad and step mom can't come out right away they'll place you with us until they can."

"When will they know?"

"In a couple of hours, they're checking some stuff out first but I have to take Tony and Jimmy home." Charlie blinks back tears and hugs Jimmy.

"Jimmy, you're going to go home with Tony and Kelly."

"Is he nice?" Charlie saw he meant Gibbs.

"Yeah, he'll take good care of you so be a good boy okay?" Jimmy nods and Charlie hands him his stuffed dog.

"No you keep him." Gibbs ushers them out and Tony knew Charlie was sad but he also knew Camille and Arthur were good people. He just didn't know what would happen to Charlie but hoped he would be okay. He thought he would have to call Anthony again soon to get in touch with Ruth and David as the whole DiNozzo family was on his mind now.
