An: Okay. I was about two hours late but whatever. I hate typing so I try to procrastinate. So, enjoy, or not, whatever.

Chapter Nine

Gibbs and Kayla started weeping. They did not know what to do. They were just going to have to get the $1,000,000. They couldn't go back to sleep so they decided to go to the living room and watch some tv. Gibbs made some coffee and they turn on Big Bang Theory. They weren't paying much attention to it though. They were thinking about Abby and Ziva. Then they started talking about kids.

"I really want another kid, but I want Abby and Ziva back first. If we don't get them back, which, Heaven forbid, I still want another one. I want to watch one of our kids grow up." Kayla rambled.

"Okay. First of all, we need to get Abby and Ziva back. I think have enough money saved up to get Abby back." Gibbs said.

"But, that will leave us broke! We need that mon- wait, why am I saying this? Abby and Ziva are more important. You could always get a job. I think we should check." Kayla rambled again.

"Okay, we will give it a shot. I really want them back." Gibbs agreed.

"I know. I do too. Let's finish our coffee and go to bed. We will think straighter once we have gotten more sleep." Kayla suggested.

"Okay. I love you." Gibbs agreed and gave a kiss on the lips and she kissed him back. She pulled back and said, "Love you too. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Gibbs replied.

They went to their bed, laid do and scooted under the covers. They fell asleep until 7:30 in the morning. Their alarm clock went off and they got out of bed and got dressed. They went into the kitchen and ate some breakfast. Then they got a call from Ducky.


"Hello?" Gibbs asked.

"Hello Jethro. I was just wondering how you slept." Ducky blurted out.

"Just fine. Thank you. How did Jimmy sleep?" Gibbs answered.

"He came to our room in the middle of the night. He was having nightmare." Ducky explained.

"I woke up because one of those. I woke Kayla up when I jolted up. We started and decided that the $1,000,000 we have in the bank will be used to get Abby back." Gibbs explained.

"Linda and I are willing to help you pay the ransom." Ducky offered.

"Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I don't want to drag you into the middle of this." Gibbs replied.

"I am already in the middle of this. We want help." Ducky protested.

"Thank you Duck, but I am fine. Kayla and I are good. We have enough to cover it." Gibbs said a little agitated.

"Okay. Talk to you later then. Goodbye Jethro." Ducky gave up.

"Bye Duck." Gibbs said relieved.


Just as Gibbs hung up with Ducky, his cell phone rang. He went to his room and got it off the nightstand. He didn't even bother with the caller id.


"Hello?" he asked as he walked back to the kitchen putting the phone on speaker for Kayla.

"Daddy?" Abby asked through tears.

"Abby, why are crying? Did he hurt you?" Gibbs asked worriedly.

"No. I thought he was going to kill me though." She continued to sob.

"Then why are you crying?" he asked again.

"Because I am scared." She kept crying.

"I'm sorry. Don't worry. I will find you." Gibbs promised again.

"Okay. I lo-" she got cut off by the man.

"Okay. That's enough talking. Do you have my money?!" The man asked angrily.

"Yes. Now, I must get her and Ziva back." Gibbs demanded.

"Okay. You can both, but you will have to go to Israel for Ziva." The man said with his fingers crossed.

"Okay. Fine. I must get them back in one piece." Gibbs demanded again.

"Okay. Goodbye." The man hung up and laughed maniacally.

On Gibbs' end, he heard nothing. Just dead air.


An: What did you think? Feel free to review but you don't have to. A few reviews every once in a while would be nice to know you are still there but again, you don't have to. Well, got to get ready for dinner at my Grandma's that is in like, two hours. It doesn't take me that long to get ready because I am not allowed to wear makeup, but, I just want to go ahead and be ready so I can watch some t.v. or something. Also, I have been getting some questions about Gibbs and Kayla not worrying about

Bye.
