Thought I'd give you another chapter :) Now, who is Sarah? Any thoughts? Chapter 11
Her breath was erratic, her eyes filled with tears as she ran through the streets, searching for cover, searching for somewhere to find safety, to be protected.
"We lost her sir." She heard the voices come closer as she pressed herself against the wall of a house.
"She's a child, how the hell can you lose a child." The voice was so angry and it scared her deeply. "If Alicia gets her before we do, all hell will break loose. Find her."
'Alicia, I have to find Alicia' The child thought for herself as she pressed herself closer against the wall as her former captors passed her by without seeing or even sensing her.
'Sarah think' the child, Sarah thought for herself. 'Think. Who's Alicia?' she thought as she walked as calmly as she could. Your real mother's name is Alicia. her heart was beating harder and faster as the memories clouded her mind. 'She didn't want you, your dad wanted you so I took you as mine.' she almost ran into a tree.
"Are you ok child" A voice said, she jumped away from the contact and ran as fast as her legs could carry her while a voice hunted her and another voice comforted her. The voice hunting her called 'You weren't wanted, you only got me' and the voice comforting her whispered 'They're lying, your mom loved you even before you were born, you were stolen away from her, they told her you died, you need to prove them wrong my dear child.' She remembered last time she had seen the man, he had helped her escape, she hoped her former captor would never find out...
Twisted Truth
Alicia dried her tears as she sat down beside her father. He had been on the hospital for almost 4 weeks now. Just as she and Gibbs arrived he was to discharge himself.
"Dad" Alicia said as she crouched beside him, he sat in a wheelchair. "You were tortured" he looked away, she put a hand on his cheek and made him face her. "Look at me daddy."
"I already know that" His voice was close to a yell "I'm going insane here" Tony sighed.
"You were tortured, your wounds are healing, you just need to give it more time." Alicia said.
"And your seeing a psychologist." Gibbs said as he watched Alicia's precence and words sink in.
"Gibbs" Tony looked at his boss, ready to have an argument which he guessed he'd loose but he wouldn't loose it so easily.
"It's final, you're doing what Jethro said." Alicia looked at her father. "Bottling up isn't an option" she said and Tony knew she was right, even though he hated the word bottling up...
"That's why I'm sending you to one too Alicia" Gibbs said, Alicia simply nodded, she leaned her head down on Tony's shoulder, not wanting to let him go, needing to know he really were there.
"If I'm agreeing, will you let me get home? And back to work?" Tony asked, still stubborn as always.
"Home with Alicia and Anthony, yes. Work, we'll see bout that." Gibbs said and when Tony nodded Gibbs put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." He said softly. When Gibbs walked up to his doctor Tony looked at his daughter.
"When did he turn to a softy?" Tony asked amused, though he looked very tired.
"With you, since you were kidnapped, with me, since you were kidnapped and even more when I took the bullets for him. He yelled at my for almost 20 minutes before he actually hugged me. He said something bout 'What would I have told your father if we would have lost you, damn it Dinozzo.'" Alicia smiled at her father, earning a smile back.

"Ziva, you called?" Bianca said as she came through the elevator doors, Christopher Hakala and Lauri Rose close behind her.
"We need an extra set of eyes" Ziva said.
"Where's the others?" Christopher asked.
"Gibbs took Alicia to Tony and McGee's down with Abby." Ziva answered.
Twisted Truth
Sarah bit her lower lip as she stood hidden behind a tree, men came up by her, trying to get her to follow them, she just ran, scared to even do anything else.
"Kiddo?" A voice got Sarah to look up, the voice equalled safety for her.
"Kathy" Sarah cried as she launched into safety.
"Good lord what are you doing out here Sarah?" Kathy whispered as she held the shivering child close to herself.
"I saw mom and dad" Sarah's breath became erratic again.
"Easy sweetie, listen to me little cousin." Kathy whispered, looking around herself making sure no one had seen her or the child. "Let's get to my place, there's no one here who knows you or me, I promise." She added softly as she picked up the child and carried her towards the house, worried about how little she weighted, she was little and light for her age.
"They can still find me, I have to find Alicia, all hell will break loose if I find Alicia." The child said, looking at Kathy, making Kathy realise what was going on, what was finally to happen, still she didnt know half of it herself...
"Alicia?" Kathy said. "I know an Alicia, my stepsister." She added as she put the child down and got her keys up and unlocked the house to let the child into the warmth. She locked the door after herself and started her alarm.
"What was that?" Sarah looked suspiciously at Kathy.
"My alarm." Kathy said "If anyone tries to break in the alarm will warn us and it will also reach the closest police station."
"Can you tell me about your Alicia?" Sarah asked. She had been told about an Alicia all her life, she didn't get much of it, she had just reached the age of 12.
"Alicia was found unconscious in cop clothes" Kathy began.
"Police clothes?" Sarah asked.
"NCIS clothes." Kathy corrected herself.
"What is NCIS?" Sarah asked.
"Naval Criminal investigative service. Alicia's working for them now." Kathy said, she waited for a second before she turned back to tell Sarah about Alicia. "Alicia was 5 years and 9 months when she was found, she had just turned 6 I think when she came to live with us. I had just turned 10." Kathy smiled softly.
"Were you nice to her?" Sarah cocked her head.
"I was the only one of us children who was nice to her" Kathy looked sad for a second. "They were envious of her, of me too. I was grandpa's favourite and Alicia soon became a favourite of his. I worshipped her" Kathy said, sadness in her eyes, at the loss of her sister, regretting they didn't have the contact they once had.
"Alicia works for NCIS?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah" Kathy said. "When we've finished talking and you finished your food I'll call her." Kathy promised as she put a bowl of soup in front of the child.

"His daughter and I will be there, 24/7. He wants back at work, perhaps I should let him, Abby and Alicia'll protect him, down in the lab" Gibbs said, facing the doctor.
"I don't know about that Agent Gibbs, this man need to rest." The doctor answered.
"Oh he will, Abby will make him rest and well Alicia's his daughter. She'll make him rest too, he'll recover best with family." Gibbs said.
"If you take him as your responsibility." The doctor finally caved in.
"I'll have Alicia and her son move in with me. That way I'll get Anthony Dinozzo to move in as well. He can take care of himself but sometimes even the strongest out there need someone" Gibbs said as he recived the papers Tony needed to sign to be released from hospital.
Twisted Truth
"Ziva" Bianca said. "What exactly are we looking for?"
"Anything that looks suspicious. Anything that can give us answer." Ziva answered.
"Let's start with this" McGee said as he came out of the elevator. He held a folder under his right arm. When he reached Ziva he handed the folder to her.
"What is this?" She asked as she looked through the papers in the folder.
"All I found about Alicia. I dugged back 22 years, I lost her there." McGee said and added "Gibbs had me start finding her past when Tony was kidnapped."
"You found more then you had before we found him?" She turned around and walked over to her desk as she looked through the papers, stopping at one. "How old were she here?" she asked.
Lauri looked over her shoulder "I'd guess around 4 or 5." Lauri said. "Anca, scan the photo through your whatever you call it."
"I'll take it down to Abby, my computer died on me an hour ago, battery was low." Bianca said as she took the picture and got into the elevator.
Everyone turned back to their computers, McGee sat at his desk, going back in the years, trying to find Alicia's mother.
"I think I found something David" Lauri said, putting the picture on the big screen.
"That's Alicia, it has to be" Christopher said, it was the first time he spoken since they got there. "That looks like Anthony when he was newborn." He added.
"How did you know?" Ziva asked as she looked at Christopher, she knew that Alicia and Christopher was dating, she was probably the only one excluding Abby that knew.
"We were stuck in a bank robery when her water broke, 2 month to early, everyone, including Luukas, Anthony's father, tried to get her to take some time of, me being her team leader I had the authority to approve her taking time off, but she said no. Funny enough" Christopher didn't sound amused at all "we were on our way home after work, Luukas was handling the paperwork, I promised to take Alicia home, we stopped by the bank on the way home."
