AN: I have written and re written this about 1000 times. And this is the end result. I hope you likeit.

I'm so sorry if this is a long chapter, but I fixed everything up and added some while Australia's Got Talent was on.

Amazing what you write while chilling in the sun.

After seeing GNW last night (Monday night) I'm fairly certain that Pauley won't be returning to our shores any time soon after Wil Anderson and Paul McDermott! I think they scared her.You can catch it on YouTube. (Good News Week for those non Aussie's reading)

EverythingsShiny: HAHA GNW. Wil Anderson...classic, the only ever time I've seen Wil that excited was when he was on The Glasshouse (Oh how I miss that show). Though I don't think she got his humour. Michael Weatherly would go great on GNW. Ha-ha hilarious about him getting slapped on the back of the head by total strangers. I don't think Pauley got our sense of humour.

Dear Diary,

Abby and I are no longer fighting. We had a huge talk and sorted some stuff out, and then we sat down and tried to work out a connection between Macy and Colonel Bell's deaths.

We got more than what we bargained for.

So now we – Tony, Ziva, McGee and myself are on our way to Mexico to find dad, Mike, Leyla and Emira

And get this mess sorted out once and for all.

Abby Suicto stood at her computer bench drumming her fingers on the steel top as she watched the computer run its magic on an AFIS check. Her eyes lit up when a super sized caf – pow was placed in front of her. "Thankyou Gibbs" she said delighted as she turned around and faced the person who she presumed brought her the drink. "Oh" she said a little reluctantly as she shot an angry glare to the gift bringer, moving her hand towards the drink, sliding it away. Then she began to walk to the back of her lab.

"Abby wait" Kelly pleaded. This was going to be harder than Kelly had thought.

"What Kelly?" the Goth spat out angrily turning to face her. "Want me to drink the caf – pow? Want to watch me drink it? Did you put poison in it?"

Kelly rolled her eyes at the lab's techs over the top outburst. "What?" she questioned. "Abby this is my way of apologising. I should never have said nor did what I did to you" Kelly said as she looked and noticed Abby was looking at her and nodding in agreement that what she had done was out of line. Kelly looked down at her hands and sighed sadly "I've never really dealt with what happened. After the accident I didn't talk to anyone for months. I didn't even talk to dad. He found out what happened when he read my witness report. The only person I've ever told was Mike Franks, that's who took down my witness report. When dad got blown up on that boat, I had to tell Jenny. And when you found out what dad did, everything just came back"

With tears forming in Kelly's eyes she looked up and straight at Abby. "Abs you're like a sister to me, I don't want to lose that. I know whatever you write in your report it will be the truth"

A tear slid down Abby's cheek "Oh Gibblet" Abby said sadly, walking towards Kelly. "Of course I forgive you" as she hugged her friend tightly.

MEXICO:

Gibbs sat in a seat at a table opposite Paloma

"Choose your words carefully" she told him.

"I don't drink scotch" Gibbs replied with a smug smirk as he downed the glass.

"I want revenge Special Agent Gibbs" she spat. "That is why I'm going to kill the people important to you. Your team, your friends, your ex mother in law, your ex wives"

Gibbs grunted "You can start with them first if you want"

"...Your father and your daughter" Paloma continued.

Gibbs shifted slightly in his seat, and then sat up straight, narrowing his eyes giving Paloma a questioning look.

"You think I wouldn't know about Kelly?" asked Paloma chuckling. "I know she survived the accident, I know she is a Federal Agent, just like yourself. Agent Kelly Mack. Isn't that right Jethro? I think I may just kill her first" she finished smugly as she slid something across the table to Gibbs.

Gibbs looked down; it was a photo of Kelly walking through Georgetown Shopping Mall with ice-cream. She was smiling, a smile that lit up her whole face. With her in the photo was Callen. An arm wrapped around her waist pulling her in close to his side, his mouth was on the side of her head, no doubt planting a kiss on his girlfriend. Gibbs wasn't disturbed by that. What disturbed him the most was the bullseye target drawn on his daughter's head.

ABBY'S LAB

The two women sat on stools at the lab's main bench, the one usually reserved for evidence. One was sipping on a caf – pow the other was sucking on a lollypop. In front of them was a huge sheet of butcher's paper.

"Who introduced you to Alejandro Rivera" Kelly questioned Abby, taking the lollypop out of her mouth.

"Mallison Hart" replied Abby precisely. "Why?"

"And when you and McGee went to Mexico, Rivera just handed you the cold case file?"

"Yep. What are you thinking?"

"Let's run a background check". Kelly suggested with a furrowed brow. "Just call it a gut feeling" Kelly stated when she saw Abby's look.

Abby's eyes went wide and her eyebrows shot up "So it is genetic?" she asked seriously about the famous Gibbs gut.

"Oh! That wasn't what I was expecting" said a surprised Kelly when the results of the background check popped up on the computer.

"He's Hernandez's son! And he has a sister." responded a shocked Abby. "What's the link to Hart?"

"Colonel Bell was Hart's ex. He was in a Mexican prison" Kelly explained to both Abby and herself, also trying to figure out the link.

"...and Alejandro Rivera worked as a Mexican Justice Department Official. He could have read Bell's file and knew that Gibbs was the arresting Agent. And he gave me the cold case knowing that I worked with Gibbs, knowing I would lead him to Gibbs. Boy this guy's good"

"But how does Jason Paul Dean fit into all of this?" questioned Kelly as she popped the lolly pop back in her mouth.

"He was paid by Bell" answered McGee walking into the lab. "Everything OK down here" he continued shifting his gaze between Kelly and Abby.

Kelly nodded as Abby answered "Oh McGee! that is so sweet, you coming down here to check on us" she told him contently as she placed a hand over her heart. "Everything's fine. Kelly and I had a talk and we are friends again" she told McGee with a smile, which was returned with a delighted smile from McGee.

"Still doesn't explain how Dean knew to kill Macy" Kelly stated with a shake of her head, as she twirled the lolly pop stick in her fingers as the lollypop inside her mouth clicked against her teeth.

"In Macy's MP diary, she wrote down information on Gibbs. Like his boss' name, Shannon's name, where he grew up, Jackson's name and his occupation" McGee explained.

"Oh" answered Kelly as a mixture of realisation, dread and fear spread over her face.

"What?" McGee carefully questioned.

"My name's in that book. I'm the sole survivor of that accident. They know I'm alive. If they have already killed Macy, they are going to come for everyone else in that diary" Kelly explained shakily. Kelly ran a hand through her hair, scratching it as she did "This is like a bad horror film, where the baddie comes and just shoots people dead at point blank " "McGee lets go" she barked as she hopped up off the stool and ran out of the lab with McGee following. As she left the lab, Kelly opened her phone, dialling a number.

"Where are we going?" asked McGee a little nervously.

"Mexico" she answered as they both stepped into the elevator "Tobias its Kelly" she answered into the phone. "I need your help". Once off the phone after explaining the situation to Fornell and what she wanted him to do, she dialled another number. "Grandpa, its Kelly" she greeted although somewhat tense. "There is a Federal Agent on his way to Stillwater, his name is Tobias Fornell." She began as she paced back and forth in the elevator. "You are in his protection until you hear from...Tim McGee" she told Jackson Gibbs as she glanced at McGee to make sure it was OK to use him, she nodded her thanks to him when he gave her a thumbs up. "When Agent Fornell gets there, you need to ask him a question. You need to ask him who is ex wife is. The answer will be Dianne. No, Grandpa. There's nothing wrong, it's just a um a training drill" she told him she rubbed her fingers against her temple.

"Kelly? A drill?" questioned McGee as soon as she closed her phone.

Kelly sighed and looked at the agent known as Probie "What was I supposed to say? Some crazy may be coming to try and kill you, so get the Winchester ready? I'm protecting my family the best way I know how Tim. I've already lost my mother. No psycho killer is going take the rest of my family from me"

MEXICO:

Special Agents Mack, DiNozzo, McGee and Probationary Agent David entered the Mexican Cantina Bar and were greeted by Camila Chora

"Hola. Que le puedo ayudar?"

"Do you speak Mexican, you know as an eleventh language?" Tony whispered into Ziva's ear.

"No" declared Ziva softly.

"Hi" said Kelly, stepping up to the counter of the bar. "Uh...Err...um...Mike Franks" she stated as she did a drinking motion with her hand.

Camila gave Kelly a look and looked over the three other agents. "Miguel Franks. I know him" she told Kelly with a shrug, turning her back.

"You speak English?"

"Si"

"I'm Kelly Gibbs. Jethro Gibbs' daughter"

"Senor Leroy Jethro!" responded Camila cheerfully. "He spoke often of you when he was here"

"Have you seen him?"

"Si. Yesterday"

"Was he with Mike, Leyla and Emira?"

"No. Is there something wrong?"

Kelly looked down at her phone, not recognising the number she answered is puzzled "Hello? Leyla, calm down...no one is going to hurt you or Emira, I promise...I will be there" After hanging up the phone, Kelly asked for directions to where she was to meet Leyla, upon getting the directions, Kelly went to leave the Cantina, but once at the door Kelly turned suddenly as she heard footsteps behind her "What are you doing?" she asked Ziva, who crashed into her.

"We are coming with you" Ziva told her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"No. If I bring backup they will kill the girls"

20mins later Leyla entered the cantina with a crying Emira, all three agents looked up from the table they were sitting at a little stunned and confused.

"Leyla" said Tony standing up "Special Agent Tony DiNozzo. I work with Gibbs. You remember?"

"Yes"

"Where's Kelly"

"Kelly?"

"Kelly Gibbs" said McGee hastily, which caused Tony to give him a look to shut up.

"I know who Kelly is. She is Emira's Aunt. But I've not seen her"

"Crap" said Tony as realisation hit.

Kelly parked her car and got out. Taking her gun out of her holster she held it towards the ground. Wearing jeans that belonged to Callen and were far to big on her and Callen's dark blue Ramones T-Shirt that was rolled up at the sleeves, she walked carefully but cautiously to the middle of the playground where Leyla said she would be. At hearing a noise behind her Kelly turned around expecting to see Leyla and Emira, instead she came face to face with Jason Paul Dean

Kelly felt a pain in her side as she collapsed to the ground, dropping her gun as she fell. Her head turned to the side and she felt blood coming from her mouth. A shadow cast over her body, turning her head and looking up she saw the face of Jason Paul Dean looking down at her with his gun pointed at her forehead between her eyes, a smirk on his face and a blank look in his eyes. Kelly went to grab her gun but couldn't as it was just out of her reach.

The look etched on her face was one of fear as she realised she was about to die. Not like this, she thought. She hadn't told her dad that she loved him and Callen – hell he was the love of her life, the one she dreamed about when she was a little girl, and he didn't even know. And she needed to collect that $100 from Tony, after winning the bet she had with him to see how many peanuts it would take to throw at McGee to wake him up while on the flight to Mexico. There was no way in hell she was going to die without collecting that money.

Kelly shut her eyes tight, waiting for the bang. At hearing a bang she opened her eyes and found Dean lying on top of her, his dead body weight on her, making it hard for her to breathe. She felt someone move the body off her and call her name, she didn't really know who it was. She felt tired and heard the voice say it was going to be OK, that help was coming. She heard the voice telling her not to close her eyes. She nodded her head but closed her eyes anyway. She was tired.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs was pushed forcefully along the road that led to the playground. He looked towards the playground and saw his daughter. He also saw Jason Paul Dean walking towards his daughter, his gun raised.

"Ready to watch your daughter die" questioned a smug Paloma.

Gibbs turned and faced Paloma, holding her wrist tightly so she dropped the gun. Gibbs picked it up and bolted down the small embankment in record time. He had never run faster in his life. He heard the shots and when he saw his daughter on the ground his face palled. He raised his gun and walked silently closer to Dean and shot him dead. He watched the body collapse on top of Kelly.

Lowering his weapon he ran towards the bodies. As he did he unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. When he reached the bodies he rolled Dean's body off Kelly and he sat down next to her at her side. He lifted her head into his lap, placing his shirt over one of the wounds, while he placed his hands over the other wound to try and stop the loos of blood. "Kelly it's going to be OK baby girl. Don't close your eyes. Don't close your eyes he whispered into her ear with tears trickling down his cheeks.

But Kelly did and all she saw was darkness.
