Okay. You guys probably hate me. I hate me. I'm so terribly sorry for not writing. It's just I've had school and even though the school year is winding down, the teachers aren't chilling out with the homework. I promise I'll try to be more loyal to the story.

Oh, I don't own NCIS or any characters (unfortunately)

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep

That was the noise that a Ms. Abby Scuito had been abruptly woken with.

"Just two more minutes, Mom." She groggily called out. But then her eyes snapped open. This wasn't home. She certainly wasn't an awkward, pubescent teenager anymore. She was in the lab. Where she had stayed all night because she was waiting for… THE RESULTS!

All exhaustion gone, Abby hopped up from her mat on the ground and looked to the computer screen and read: DNA MATCH. Quickly, she clicked a few buttons, allowing her to view the results. A mug shot popped up on the screen, accompanied by some information. The night before, Jimmy had come down with news of a possible fingerprint on the body of the third victim, Roxanne Lockhart, Kelly's first sergeant, and close friend. Abby skimmed the information quickly before a huge smile broke out on her face.

"WE GOT HIM!" She screamed, jumping up and down. "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Glancing at the clock, she saw the time: 6:30. Luckily, Abby didn't have to make any phone calls. Since everyone on the squad had become acquainted with Kelly, they had instantly become targets. So now, along with Kelly, everyone was sleeping in the custody area.

Running as swiftly as she could, she reached the room where everyone was staying. Without knocking, she barged into the door, yelling, "Rise and shine, everyone!" she was met with moans and protests. "Come on, you gotta get up!"

"And why is that, Abs?" Tony asked, from his spot on the floor.

"Because we got him!" Instantly the groans stopped, and everyone was up and alert. "Meet me upstairs." Running towards the elevator, she pushing the up button, and steeped inside, "Good work, Abby. Very good work." Five minutes later everyone was in the bull pen and gathering around Abby.

"What do we have, Abby?" Gibbs asked. He handed Abby the clicker and Kelly some coffee which caused her to smile at him.

"A killer is what we've got; or rather who we've got." She pushed a button and the face of a 34 year old man popped up on the screen, "Meet Rodrigo Martinez. This is the face of the man who matches the finger print. After his involvement in the whole Shannon murder and his companion, Pedro was offed, he went into hiding. Without anyone knowing, he traveled to America and no one has seen him."

"Then what are we supposed to do?" Kelly asked.

"Wait! You didn't let me finish. He hasn't been seen before two weeks ago in Washington holed up in a cottage that he was in no way own in the east woods." Everyone was silent. Abby sat with an expectant look on her face. "Well, go and find him! Jeez!"

"She's right. Everyone body grab your gear." Gibbs said and moved toward the elevator, planting a kiss on Kelly's forehead before he left.

Everyone started to file out but Tony stayed back for a minute, pausing in front of Kelly saying, "Well, hey, maybe when we get back, you'll have your freedom."

She smiled. "I just might. And then you and I can go out and get that cup of coffee you promised me."

"That we will, most definitely." Dinozzo grabbed her hand and planted a small kiss there. "Be back soon."

"I'll be waiting." Kelly said, blushing slightly.

"DiNozzo! Come on, we don't have all day!" Gibbs' voice boomed across the room. DiNozzo ran off with a smile on his face and a spark in his heart.

The team rushed as quickly as they could in their NCIS van, thoughts of, "We're gonna get him today." running through their heads. As the cabin came in to sight they slowed their approach to a halt. Silently and quickly the team filed out of the truck, running towards the house. They climbed the porch stairs and Gibbs pounded on the door.

"NCIS, open up!" Nothing. He motioned to Tony to ram the door and he did so. With guns up, Ziva, DiNozzo and McGee rushed into the house. They scanned the hallways and bedrooms, yelling, "Clear!" as they went. After about three minutes, they all joined up in the living room.

"Nothing, boss. Nobody's he-… boss?" Tony asked, trying to get Gibbs' attention.

"Wait, Tony. Just wait." Slowly Gibbs walked across the planks of the wooden floor, listening to the sounds it made. He jumped slightly once. Then quickly, he got on his hands and knees and pushed a rush out of the way. There sat a small door in the floor. Gibbs opened it and they all looked down into it. Darkness greeted them.

"You don't think?..." McGee sounded.

"I'd bet money on it, McGee." Their boss said. Walking down the steps, they found themselves in a basement of sorts. Feeling around, Ziva found a hanging chain and pulled on it causing a bulb to illuminate the small area. When they saw what covered the walls, an instant wave of shock went over them. Photos of Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, McGee, Abby, everyone, including Kelly. Gibbs slowly walked over to one of the photographs of Kelly and pulled it down. Anger filled his body as he saw how her eyes had been scratched out with red pen.

"Where is this son of a bitch?" He asked himself.

Out of nowhere a deep voice said, "Welcome to my handsome abode," Everyone whipped around to see Roderigo Martinez himself.

"Martinez," Gibbs stated.

"That's me. Like the pictures, Gibbs? I find them quite tasteful. Especially that one of your daughter. She's quite lovely."

"Shut up." He hissed, trying to keep from snapping.

"So impolite, but I suppose you'll get what you deserve. A tragic death."

"Doubt it."

"Oh, do you? Well, aren't you just ambitious?" He reached into his pocket and in his hand was a button that would trigger the explosives that would lead to their deaths. Without even thinking about it, Gibbs spat a shot out, right at Martinez's heart and he went down. Fallen dead. It was quiet for a few seconds as everyone soaked in what had happened.

"Well… that's was fun." Tony said.

"Yeah, super fun." McGee added.

That's all I've got, you guys. I hope you enjoyed it!
