The phone continued to ring as Tony sped back the way he'd come, his hands shook so much that the car itself started to snake ever so slightly, he was about to give up, to just hang up and break ever speeding law under the sun to get back to her, if anything happened to her, he'd...he'd....well he'd never forgive himself, this is exactly why Tony DiNozzo had to die, this was why he had to stay away from her, and yet here she was, right in the crosshairs again, this wasn't fair.

He was about to flip the phone closed when he heard the click of the receiver being picked up, his heart stopped at the simple sound.

"Kate?" he asked fearfully.

"Err no, Agent Todd stepped away for a few minutes, this is agent McGee" a stuttering voice came back.

"McGee! Is Gibbs there?" Tony asked quickly, god what a mixture of emotions he was feeling, fear, relief, panic, he was sure it wasn't good for his health, but right now his health wasn't important.

"Tony, is that you?" McGee asked confused.

"Damn it Probie, get me Gibbs!" Tony yelled, now was not the time to be asking stupid questions.

"God Tony claim down, he's right here," the younger agent responded shocked by his old colleges tone "Boss, Tony wants to talk to you" he heard McGee call to his boss.

He heard the phone being handed over, and then heard the silver haired ex-marine take a deep breath in.

"Boss, listen, just left the prison, there in control of the damn thing, everything Gibbs, even the warden, there going after Kate, you have to find her, protect her until I get back Gibbs, please Boss, I'm on my way now, Just find Kate and protect her" he explained quickly, the fear that had infected him while he was in the state correctional facility spreading into every vain, artery and muscle of his body.

"Wow, Slow down DiNozzo, Kate's gone to lunch with her sister, I'll get McGee to trace all the phone calls from the prison and send Ziva to collect Kate, Just get your arse back here or your fired" Gibbs stated in his normal gruff commanding tone.

"I don't work for you anymore Gibbs, remember" Tony chuckled nervously.

"That's what you think DiNozzo, Just get your arse back here" the older man ordered.

"Boss, Thank yo-" Tony was cut off when he heard the line go dead, some things obviously never change, "You" he finished as he flipped the phone shut and tossed onto the passenger seat, before giving the road his full attention.

Knowing Gibbs was on his side and was now over looking not only Kate's protection but also looking into finding the person responsible for forcing Tony to leave the life he loved made him relax a bit, not a lot, but enough for him to think clearly, now all he had to do...was get back to the woman he loved, to be there, with her.

Gibbs slammed the phone down and turned to look at the two younger agents behind him, Both stood looking at him with their eye brows raised, he gave them one of his, "What the hell are you still doing here" looks and watched as they both jumped into action.

"I will go and Find Kate" Ziva stated as she collected her gun and back pack before walking towards the elevators.

"And I will traced all outgoing calls from Ohio State Prison" McGee confirmed heading back to his desk.

Gibbs pulled his cell from his pocket and flipped it open, he moved the small electronic device back and forth in front of him until the tiny text writing came into focus, then found Kate's cell number and hit call, he placed the device to his ear and listened as it rang twice before going straight to her voice mail service, muttering a curse under his breath he snapped the phone shut and walked over to behind McGee.

"do you know if Kate's got her phone on?" He asked leaning over McGee to watch him work.

"Err, I can err, I can find out for ya boss" the youngest agent of his team stuttered nervously.

"Do it, then call Ziva with her location" he sighed as he pushed himself off the desk and walked to the end of the bull pen.

"Will do Boss!" McGee called as Gibbs vanished from site for a few seconds.

The older man turned and jogged up the stairs towards the small balcony that over looked his floor, he glanced back at the computer whiz member of his team and saw him dial Ziva's number into his desk phone, he turned his attention back to the small bright blue retinal scanner on the frame of MTAC, he bent forwards and looked into the device, waited for it to scan his eye, then waited for the click of the lock, he turned the handle and walked in, he saw the director stood in the centre of the small floor space before the three rows of seats, she had cut her hair, if anyone asked he'd pretend that he hadn't noticed, but honestly with Jenny Sheppard, it was hard not to, the woman had stolen his heart many years ago, and rather than sticking around to find out just what could of happened if they had perused their relationship, she left, in the dead of the night, while he was still asleep, and now she was back, and he wanted to be with her just as badly now as he had done back then.

She had her full attention on the massive screen before her, it looked like a feed from a helmet cam, there were three full kitted up field agents, armed with M16's moving in on a massive hanger at an airport in some distant European country, Gibbs silently watched from the end of the ramp as the team of four, including the guy that was wearing the camera, moved in, they cleared the hanger and then moved towards the covered mass in the centre of it, one of the members moved forwards and pulled the large canopy sheet off the stacks of wooden crates.

"What is it Echo six?" Jenny asked into the headset that she now seemed to wear constantly, the only ties she didn't wear it was the few times she was actually sat in her office, but then she had a phone plastered to her ear.

Both Gibbs and the Director watched as the team member with the camera pulled open the lid to the nearest box to reveal what looked to be a box full of Saco Defence M60's, another team member pulled one of the them out and checked it over before turning to the camera.

"It's Plastic Director" he stated softly "Kids toys" he summed up before placing it back in the box.

"Wait what's that?" another voice asked from behind the camera carrying member.

The scene turned and watched as the member lifted a note out addressed to NCIS, he tore the end open and slid the bit of paper out.

"Better luck next time NCIS" he read before looking at the camera.

"Damn It!" Jen cursed annoyed, she closed her eyes and placed her right hand gently against her forehead as she took a deep breath "Alright, good job Echo team, pack up and come home" she ordered slightly claimer, though the frustration could still be heard in her voice.

"Another dead end, Jen?" Gibbs asked as he walked to her side.

"He's always one step ahead of us Jethro" the director stated annoyed as she slipped the head set off "But he'll make a mistake sooner or later, and then La Grenouille will be out of luck" she stated retreating back to a seat behind her, "But I take it you didn't come here to talk about black market arms dealers, did you" she smiled knowingly at him as she sat.

"No," Gibbs smiled slightly as he moved to join her "Got a call from DiNozzo" he stated softly "Ohio State Prison is under the control of the DiNozzos, and there going after my senior field agent" he explained softly.

"So what do you need from me?" Jen asked looking at him, she knew he'd already set things in motion to protect Agent Todd, so there was no point in telling him what to do.

"I need order restored to that prison and for those two dirt bags to get what they deserve" Gibbs stated his smiled fading and a deadly serious look appearing on his face.

"I'll see what I can do" Jen said with a nod.

Gibbs gave a slight nod before getting up and walking back out of MTAC.

"I got it McGee" Ziva stated softly as she turned the corner and pulled up outside a small cafe, she lipped the car into park and stepped out into the harsh mind winter cold.

She shut the door, rubbed her hands together and quickly made a dash for the entrance of the small charming cafe, she pulled open the door, wishing she had brought glovers with her as the freezing metal handle burnt her bare skin, sliding inside she breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the pleasant warm air brush over her, she allowed it to warm her entire body before moving further in.

For a small cafe it was certainly busy, every table was taken and people sat in groups of three or more talking and laughing about their perfect little lives in the capital, Ziva walked towards the centre of the crowded cafe, her eyes scanning her surroundings, her ears listing for the familiar sound of her partners voice, she spotted a woman that looked a lot like Kate sat in the far corner, she was sat with her back to her and was sat alone, Ziva watched for a moment, if Kate was meant to be having dinner with her sister than she should be around also, she waited for a moment then decided that Kate's sister must be in the ladies room, powdering her noise, that is what they say is it not?

She moved across the cafe towards the woman that she suspected to be her partner.

"Kate?" she asked as she approached her.

She could now smell the very distinctive perfume Kate wore and was convinced it was her, her suspicions were rewarded when the woman turned to look at her.

"Ziva, what are you doing here?" Kate asked with a friendly, but confused smile.

"Gibbs sent me, You are in Danger and we are to return to the office immediately" She replied with a slow steady tone, she was still trying to get her English to flow smoothly, she thought she was doing quite well, it was only the idioms that she suffered with really, and McGee seemed all to happy to correct her on those.

"Well Ziva I am A NCIS agent and a Ex Secret Service agent, I think I can take care of myself, and besides I'm in a very public and busy place, no one would try anything here" Kate pointed out happily as she flipped open her phone to see if Tony had tried t contact her.

Ziva smiled, she knew exactly what Kate was looking for, she had become more...girly, since she had started dating Ex NCIS Agent Antony DiNozzo, she always smiled at the mention of his name, had a dreamy look when reading an email he sent her, or text, and now spent more time on her appearance before going home to him, yes Antony DiNozzo was her Achilles heel, and he was the way she was going to get her back to the office.

"He also said that Tony had tried to Phone your office phone three times" Ziva lied sweetly.

Kate looked up at her, her eyes wide as they glazed over and the smile appeared on her face.

"My sister's in the bathroom, I can't just leave" Kate sighed.

"Why not leave her a note?" Ziva asked with a smile.

Kate gave a quick nod, as much as she loved her sister, and she did, she loved all her family, but this was Tony, the only man that has ever made her feel like she was truly special, the only Man that had stolen her heart as soon as she saw him, the only man she trusted with her heart.

Kate quickly scribbled an apology on a napkin and left a couple of twenty dollar bills and a promise to make it up to her someday, she slid the note and money to the opposite side of the table, stood up and slipped on her heavy black winter coat, wrapped her scarf around her neck and slid on her gloves before picking up her bag and turning to face Ziva.

"Lets go" she smiled as she headed for the door.

Ziva rolled her eyes before following her back out into the icy winds of the winter season, to think that the strong independent, hard working NCIS agent she had met when she joined the team two years back would melt at a name of a man, simply baffled her, it was like she was a whole new person.

Once both woman were in the car, Ziva flipped open her cell and dialled McGee's number as she pulled away, she didn't notice Kate hanging on for dear life, and if she did, it wouldn't of bothered her, not now at least, she was used to it, honestly, she thought her driving was good, but everyone else, including the fearless ex-marine Special Agent Gibbs, thought otherwise.

After the fifth ring she hung up, dialling Abby's number instead, the phone rang once and was answered, blaring techno music blasted down the phone and into her ear making the Mossad Office wince and pull away for a moment, Kate chuckled at the site, Only Abby could make Ziva have a reaction like that, listening to explosions and gun fire didn't affect the exotic looking woman, but a sudden blast of Abby's music would have her jumping out of her skin.

"Abby!" Ziva shouted over the techno sounds.

"Hey ZIVA, what Can I, Do for you?" Abby called happily as she lowered the volume of the tunes in the background.

"Tell McGee I Have Kate and we are on our way back now" Ziva stated with a relieved sigh.

"Can do my Exotic Assassin friend" Abby chirped energetically before hanging up.

Ziva sighed as she closed her phone and slid it back into her inside coat pocket, Americans are certainly...unique, she thought to herself as she continued to swerved between vehicles.

"McGee," Gibbs Called jogging back down the stairs towards the bull pen.

"Yeah Boss?" McGee replied looking up at the older man as he rounded the corner and stopped in front of him.

Gibbs stared at him for a second, his eyes brows raised in a "I'm waiting look" kind of look.

"What ya got?" he asked realising that the younger agent didn't know what he was silently asking him.

"Oh, err, well, using a number of Government satellites, which required a lot of very illegal hacking-" the young agent started to explain, but was cut off quickly by his boss.

"English and just the results McGee" Gibbs commanded softly as he walked around to join McGee behind his desk.

"Right, sorry boss," the young agent apologised quickly before continuing "I managed to find all the outgoing calls from the prison, and this number kept coming up" he explained as he brought up the number on the plasma.

"Who's it belong to?" Gibbs asked as he stood up and turned to look at the plasma.

"You're not going to like this Boss" McGee started nervously as he stood up and joined his boss in front of the massive plasma display.

A/N: Ok, who do you think the number belongs to? All will be reviled in the next chapter Lol.
