I just wanted to say thank you too all those that have asked to be alerted to this story. My life is very busy, and although I enjoy writing, finding the time between family and work is often a challenge. I have taken some time to finish this story, so I will be adding several chapters quickly in the next few days. So enjoy, and I hope that you have fun reading the rest of the "The President's Own"
"Report." Gibbs asked as he found Tony outside of O'Conner's place.
"I haven't seen anyone come or go from the house since I've been here. I've noted no lights, and like I told you earlier, his car was abandoned about four blocks from here." Tony updated.
"So are we going to go in?" Tim asked as he came closer
"Nope, you're going to stay here on surveillance. Make sure he's not going to come back. I'm going home." Tony returned and looked over to Gibbs.
"I'm not dressed..." Tim started and stopped when both older men looked at him.
"Not my problem Probie..."
"Dinozzo go back to office and find out what you can about O'Conner." Gibbs ordered.
"Where are you go..." McGee started and then stopped.
"Coffee." Gibbs returned leaving McGee in front of the empty house.

"You are going to be fine." Ziva assured in her attempt to make Kya feel better. They had just said good bye to Ducky who had hovered around to make sure that Kya had showered and changed into some more comfortable clothing. He checked her blood pressure and felt good enough to leave them.
"I know." Kya shared.
"You will be okay on the sofa?" Ziva was about to offer the bed in her room, but didn't need to worry. Kya sunk down on the sofa and sighed.
"I will be.... Thank you for your help..." Kya shared. "I honestly never thought that any of this would ever happen to me. I've lived a rather boring and unpredictable life up to this point."
"Boring is not what I say know..." Ziva never one to share a lot about herself, felt that she too would be exhausted after what Kya had been through.
"Do you get to sleep too? Or am the only one that will get to close my eyes tonight." Kya asked.
"You do not need to worry about me."
"No, apparently I'm the one who needs protecting." Kya admitted with dismay.
"Just for now, the others are working at solving all this. You will be able to return to your life soon." Ziva handed Kya a blanket and another pillow. With the turning off of the light, Ziva was barely out of the living room when she heard the soft breathing of Kya, sleep had already claimed the exhausted woman.

"So, what have we found out with the car?" Gibbs asked as he found Abby with several items on the exam table.
"Nothing really on the outside, except for the dent in the front end that caused Tim to have his accident...." Abby bounced around to the front to show Gibbs what was there.
"I can see the dent Abby thanks, I'm looking for something else that would actually link O'Conner with Gunnery Sergeant Peter's death."
"I found some interesting things in his car..." Abby pulled out a digital camera. "This was in his front seat... Apparently he left it in his rush..." The picture card was still in it and it wasn't hard for Gibbs to find that there were hundreds of pictures of Kya over the past few weeks. It was also pretty obvious that O'Conner had noted McGee's presence of the scene as there were pictures even going back to the wedding when the two of them had originally met.
"There was also a some blood stains in the car. I'm going to take them back to lab to see if they match the blood samples of Peters." Abby then pulled out several other things. Music, a newspaper article about Peter's death and a most updated list of the President's Own school visits and concerts finished out the items. "This guy is officially creeping me out." Abby admitted as Gibbs looked at her.
"We'll get him..." Gibbs announced and Abby nodded.
"I know." With that Abby took the evidence and went back to her lab.
Gibbs went back up to the office. Tony looked half asleep, but when he saw his boss come around the corner perked up.
"You are to relieve McGee now. Have him come back to the office."
"But... You had me doing..."
"O'Conner is very much onto the fact that McGee is someone in Kya's life. The last person that showed that much interest in Kya ended up dead, I'm not interested in O'Conner trying anything stupid."
"On my way." Tony sighed and headed out of the office.
