Nobody spoke as Gibbs sped down the road towards DC Memorial Hospital. Tony leaned into the door of the passenger seat. This was his fault. He had probably taken Jimmy's family away from him. McGee held on to the handle of the door trying his hardest not to throw up all over himself. Kayley and Breena are in trouble and they needed help. Bishop looked ahead at Tony. She could not imagine what he must be feeling right now. Tucker kept saying that it was Tony's fault. She hadn't been on the team yet when Tony shot his wife but she knew Tony and she knew that he would never hurt a fly that he didn't have to. Gibbs held the steering wheel as tightly as he could. Palmer may lose his family. If they couldn't save Breena it would be bad enough but nobody deserved to lose a child and Kayley was basically Jimmy's child.
"If this goes wrong. I resign. If we can't save them." Tony blurted out.
"Like hell you are DiNozzo. I'm not losing you over some dumbass' revenge." Gibbs replied.
"Excuse me I am here to see Breena Palmer." Tucker said.
"Who are you I have already met her husband and both her father and father in law? The receptionist asked.
"I am an old family friend." Tucker lied.
"Well I guess you can see her but you should know she is still pretty weak and can't stay awake too long." The receptionist explained.
"Oh that's not a problem I just want to see her." Tucker replied.
"She is going to live if that's what you're worried about and will be here at least two more days." The receptionist explained.
"I am heading out-of-town for a week for a business trip tonight and need to see her before." Tucker replied.
"Well she is going to be home by then and should be stronger by then." The receptionist offered.
"Her husband he doesn't exactly like me. I am the son of a friend of her father's and we dated all through high school and off and on after that." Tucker explained.
"That must be awkward. You can see her but make it quick. She is in room 220." The receptionist replied.
"Bless you mam." Tucker replied.
Kayley woke up and found she was back in the trunk. What if he didn't take her out this time and she suffocated. She didn't want to die at thirteen. All because some freak had a vendetta against one of her brother's co-workers. She wanted to see the baby, graduate middle school, high school, and college. She wanted to get married and have a family of her own. She hadn't even had her first kiss. Unless Milo Harris kissing her on the cheek in third grade counted. No all that did was make get them both recess detention for a week. The thing that scared her most wasn't even about her. What would this do to Breena. What if when she heard this it killed her or at least put her back in the ICU?
"I'm sorry Jimmy." Kayley sobbed.
Breena was half way awake when she heard somebody enter her room. She remembered Jimmy saying that he was going to go home and have a shower and take care of a few things at home. While they were moving her to a regular room. Then he would come back by with Kayley. Her dad had also promised to come back after work. She turned her head to see who her visitor was.
"You don't talk you live? Got that?" Tucker questioned.
"Who are you?" Breena asked.
"Which part of don't talk don't you understand?" Tucker asked.
"Please don't hurt me. I have a husband and we are raising his sister." Breena begged.
"Right Kayley. She really is a good kid. It would be a shame if something happened to her. All the more reason for you to follow orders. Tucker replied.
"How do you know about Kayley? Don't you dare hurt her!" Breena pleaded.
"Just shut up." Tucker replied.
Ducky held his assistant in his arms. Jimmy had begged to go with Gibbs and his team to save Kayley and Breena. Unfortunately Gibbs had refused to allow him. Saying that it would be too unsafe. He barely felt comfortable taking Tony with them but he wanted to have his full team. When they caught that son of a bitch.
"What if they get there too late?" Jimmy asked.
"They will get there in time." Ducky assured.
"But what if they don't?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't know what to tell you but what I do know is that Jethro, his team, Abigail, and I will be there for you no matter what." Ducky assured.
"I let my dad down. He lived for a while after the heart attack and the last time I saw him. I promised him that I would take care of Kayley." Jimmy explained.
"Jimmy you did not fail him. He knows that you care for her and that you are fighting to get her back." Ducky explained.
"What about Ed? Do you know how long it took me to convince him that I was capable of taking care of his baby girl? Jimmy asked.
"I will deal with Edward if it comes down to it." Ducky assured.
Gibbs and his team arrived at DC Memorial ten minutes after the incident with Tucker and Breena. They shoved their way through the doors and up to the reception desk. One man-made the mistake of punching Tony in the back. Luckily he missed his spine but Tony still dropped to the ground.
"Don't you ever touch him again!" Gibbs yelled.
"Hey you are the ones cutting ahead in line!" The man yelled.
"We are federal agents and we are looking for a missing child." Gibbs replied.
"Really you I can see as a fed and maybe the bitch but the scrawny green faced guy and that jackass on the ground no." The man replied.
"You have thirty seconds to sit down. Before being under arrest." Gibbs warned.
"FINE!" The man yelled.
"May I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"We are looking for Breena Palmer." Gibbs replied.
"I am sorry but she is still weak and needs sleep and she just had a visitor. You need to come back later." The receptionist replied.
"You don't understand we are federal agents looking for a kidnapped child." Gibbs replied.
"Why does that mean anything?" The receptionist asked.
"Her thirteen year sister-in-law was the victim and we know that she is in danger as well." Gibbs replied.
"She is in room 220." The receptionist replied.
Team Gibbs ran down the hall towards Breena's room. Upon arrival Gibbs flung the door open. The far bed was occupied by a sleeping woman. Her hair was too dark and she was too old to be Breena. That meant that the empty bed by the door the IV dripping on the floor. That was surrounded by security guards and a doctor and nurse was Breena's.
"What the hell happened here?" Gibbs demanded.
"We heard the machines go off and we thought it was a code. When we got her she was gone." One of the security guards explained.
"Why the hell did you let somebody get out with a patient anyway?!" Gibbs demanded.
Jimmy heard his phone ring. He pulled away from Ducky, nervously with drew it from his pocket, and pressed answer.
"Hello?"
"Why hello Jimmy"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Really you don't recognize me? After all we've talked?"
"Tucker?"
"Yep that's me."
"What do you want now? You already kidnapped my sister and threatened my wife."
"No I have them both."
"You took Breena but, she's in the hospital."
"Yeah terrible security over there. Anyway like I said you have to choose. Who lives Kayley or Breena?"
"How am I supposed to choose?"
"Don't worry I'll decide for you."
"Fine please let Kayley live."
"Alright tell Breena goodbye."
"Breena I love you so much but Kayley is my sister and I may find another woman who I love but I will never have another baby sister."
"It's alright Jimmy I understand."

"I'm sorry Breena." Jimmy whimpered as Ducky came and wrapped his arms around his assistant. Things were going to get a lot worse before they got better.
A/N: Is Breena really going to die or will the team be able to save her? New chapter should be next week. Please review and thanks for reading.
