Ch 10
The next morning, Emily woke up more tranquil. And that's what she needed for now. She needed to be hard-headed. Today she would leave all fear aside and focus on catching a killer.
When she arrived at NCIS, she was surprised to find her team, along with Tony, Mcgee, and Ziva already there. And what surprised her more was that both Tony and Ziva had damp hairs.
'Hum…..? Something going on there.'
But what caught her attention, was the fact that her team and NCIS friends were laughing!
Wow!
Since when did this happened? She thought.
"Mc Grizzly Adams, bears could only kiss you when you're least expecting it" She heard Tony's teasing.
She went up and smacked him behind his head, surprising him and the others.
"Emily!" he said shock.
Emily just smiled and settled down.
"Just be glad it was a friendly greeting, who knows where I might end up smacking you next." she said in her best serious tone, although she wanted to burst out laughing.
The others were hiding their hysteric smirks.

Meanwhile, Gibbs and hotch were at Mtac organizing everything to find Rapetti and extradite him back to D.C.
"Do you have what I requested, sir?" Gibbs went straight to the point.
Hotch was standing next to Gibbs, listening to the most tense conversation he has ever witness. Observing the agent's behaviour he acquired that Gibbs wasn't a huge fan of politicians. So was he.
The U.S. counsel, Ed, rolled his eyes and ignored Gibbs's icy attitude.
"My people are in the process of picking him up as we speak." he reported.
"Can you ensure he won't escape?" hotch questioned.
"By tomorrow morning, he will be delivered into federal custody, he will be all yours agents." the man assured.
Gibbs turned to the tech agent, signaling her to cut off.
He then turned to hotch; "Are you ready?" he asked him.
"To put this bustard away? Absolutely." hotch said with such passion.
Gibbs smirk at the man's attitude. "Then let's go get to it."

Rapetti had a luxury that one else had. He had a power that he uses to take advantage of the most vulnerables. So many girls that he met throughout his years, so many girls that he showered with love and promises. So many of them that he took their innocences away from. But neither have been satisfying for him like Emily. She is the one that caught his full attention. As he laid low for awhile, he had eyes and ears for whenever anything was useful.
He laid in bed with a tempting smile.
'They have no proof.' he thought.
'She was just a whore who had no self- respect for herself, I just did what I had to do.'
"You're going to be mine again, only mine."
A knock interrupted his moment of peace. He gradually got up to answer the disturb tap.
Rapetti smiled at receiving his allied, Stefano.
"Stefano, buongiorno amico mio." he greeted.
Stefano smiled greatly at his accomplice.
"I have great news my friend." the man informed.
Rapetti was fully attentive.
"These federal agents have found evidence that unties you from any involvement in their investigation." Stefano explained.
"What do you mean?" Rapetti asked confused.
"According to my "contacts" they found someone else's DNA."
"I don't know whose."
Rapetti relaxed as he felt a big weigh slip off him. But that wasn't enough as he didn't have what he wanted the most.
Emily.
He needed a plan. A plan that would help him have one more luxury moment with the women he deflowered once.

Abby always hated being left out of everything. Especially when it concerned her family. Okay. She was busy with processing all evidence, but that does not mean she should be left out of what was going on with Emily.
"You okay?" Garcia interrupted her thoughts.
"No!" Abby reply frustrated.
"I can't believe Gibbs hasn't been up here to tell me what the hell going with Emily!" she rant as she paced back and forth.
"I know what you mean, I've tried calling my dark chocolate but he doesn't answer me!" she puffed madly.
Suddenly Abby's monitor beep. "Oh here's something." she pointed out.
"What is it?" Garcia asked.
"I finished cross-referencing the secondary blood found on the killer's weapon." Abby explained, tapping her keyboard.
A DNA profile popped up, and the results had both ladies stunned.
"This can't be right." Abby bewilder.
"What? What is it?" Garcia asked, taking a look.
"Are you serious?" she gasped.
"If this is right, Emily is in more danger than we thought." Abby concluded.

Emily tried her best to focus but an agony feeling continue to creep up her back. But to know what it was? She would have to dig deeper.
"It has to be someone close to the Commander." Ziva suggested.
"I don't think so." Mcgee replied, Ziva gave him a questionable look.
"And why is that probie-sans?" Tony mock from his desk. "Did your inner geek parts inside you have finally risen?"
Mcgee rolled his eyes and dismiss Tony's comment.
"Because the Commander had no relatives close to her, and the ones who were, their alibis check out." he explained.
Just then Tony's phone rang. "Hey Abs-
The others tuned into the sudden tense conversation.
"Ok, ok, calm down Abby, I'll I'll try to find him, just relax, layoff the caf-pow for a minute there please." he finally hung up.
The rest waited for a Tony explanation. "Well? What did Abby say to have you all tongue out, Tony?" Ziva asked.
"You mean tune out." Reid corrected, giving the Israeli a smile.
Ziva return the smile and turned his attention back to Tony.
"Not much, only to get Gibbs and Agent Hotchner down to her lab pronto" he explained, getting up much to his dismay.
But that didn't give the others a reason of the urgency call from Abby. Something was definitely going on. And one thing was for sure, it involved the killer, hotch,Gibbs and Emily.
