"GET ON THE GROUND NOW!" shouted the man who Gibbs would have guessed to be the man in charge. He and at least another three men were running into the squad room waving their guns in people's faces, ordering them to drop to the ground. Gibbs looked over at Tony and noticed that he had his hand on his holster where his gun would usually be but because his weapon was missing; Tony had a worried look on his face.

"EVERYONE DOWN NOW!" the lead man continued to shout and he forcefully walked up to Gibbs, grinning "that means you too" he said smugly "or else"

"Or else what?" Gibbs said, trying to remain brave and in control.

"Or else..." he said and motioned with his head for Gibbs to turn and look at Tony and McGee, who at the present moment, had guns pointed at their heads "or else I give the orders and I kill these two here and now. Do you hear me?"

Gibbs gave a small nod and began to lower himself to the floor. Usually in a situation like this he felt strong and even though he'd be slightly scared for his own safety and that of his agents. Now without a weapon Gibbs felt scared and it felt like he had no control over anything that was happening. Once he had finished slowly lowering himself to the ground, he looked over and watched the two men with Tony and McGee forcefully push them to the ground. Gibbs was about to mouth an "are you ok?" when the lead man began to talk.

"Nick, get here!" he demanded at one of the armed men.

"Yes Rick" the man said as he made his way over "what do you want?"

"Find me the president" he demanded "and bring him here"

"And if someone gets in my way?" Nick asked.

"Kill them" Rick instructed "and don't hesitate"

Nick nodded and started walking towards the stairs but stopped and turned back around.

"Where is the president Rick?" he said, asking something he should have asked before he'd left.

"Why up here" came a voice from above, causing everyone in the room to look up and spy Brian leaning over the balcony.

"Brian!" Gibbs mumbled under his breath, cursing himself because he didn't figure it out sooner.

Brian smiled over the balcony and started to slowly walk down the stairs and made his way over to his men who were in the middle of Gibbs, Tony and McGee's desks.

"ok here's the plan" Brian said, taking control "Ryan I want you and Shaun to round up everyone in this building and put them up here" motioning the other two men to move the other agents who were in the room under their desks to the middle of the floor "Rick, you'll be going with Nick and getting our guests upstairs while I remain here and shoot anyone who is stupid enough to try something. Anyone who resists shoot them. Understand?"

Rick and the other three men nodded and split up to perform their tasks, leaving Brian to watch his hostages. Brain took a quick look around the room and once he saw Gibbs, Tony and McGee sitting on the floor, a huge grin crossed his face.

"Well look what we have here" he said smugly "the famous Special Agent Gibbs and his team with no weapons and no way to stop me"

"Brian you bastard" Gibbs said angrily "how can you do this?"

"You're acting like I just thought of this" Brian said sarcastically "I've been planning this for years and..." and before he could finish, Tony butted in with a sarcastic;

"Let me guess, this is the part where you reveal your evil plan to us in an attempt to make you look smarter than you really are"

This made Brian furious. "How dare you speak to me like that!" he spat "you do realise that I have your life in the palm of hand and I choose whether you live or die"

Tony took a deep breath and said nothing. He knew that Brian was right but he had to remain calm and not panic.

Just before Brain was about to say something else threatening, he turned to see Rick and Nick forcing the president, the director and Mark down stairs with their hands bound behind their backs.

"Mr. President Sir, Madam Director, Marcus how are we all?" he said arrogantly.

"Brian Jones, how can you do this" the President demanded "after all I've done for you?"

"Well technically you've only really paid my pay checks" Brian said bluntly "other than that you've used me, bossed me around and dragged me all over the place so you could have a life"

"That's your job idiot" Mark snapped "now let us go!"

"uh no" Brain said casually "I think you people can join the rest of the bloody building here on the floor" and with a forceful jab with his finger, pointed to the floor where Shaun and Ryan had moved desks out of the way to make room for everyone else in the building. Gibbs took a look around the room and was glad that is was Saturday and that not as many people were here today. Just as his eyes passed his desk, which had been moved against the wall, he spotted Abby and Ducky sitting together on the floor. They looked scared but otherwise unharmed.

Brian took a quick look around the room but something was telling him someone was missing.

"Is this everyone?" he asked Shaun in a tone that meant 'it had better be everyone or you're going to regret it'

"Yes Brain" Shaun said nervously but confidently at the same time, if that was even possible "everyone from upstairs, this level, the labs and the garage. Why?"

"Someone's missing" Brian said and scanned the room again.

Tony took a look around the room and noticed that Kate wasn't there. He gave a quick look at Gibbs and saw that he had noticed it to.

Suddenly a small grin appeared across Brian's face.

"Shaun, I'm going to ask you a little question. Get it right and you'll live. Get it wrong and well you're going to wish you never got up this morning" Brian said calmly and evilly.

Shaun gulped and said "uh yes brain"

"Where is Kate?" Brain said as if he was just throwing out the question.

"Uh not here" Shaun said nervously.

"Yes that is correct" Brian said casually "and can you tell me who else is missing?"

Gibbs looked around the room quickly but couldn't pick who was missing. He looked over at Tony and McGee who, by judging by the expressions on their faces, didn't know either.

"Uh I'm not sure Brian" Shaun said "please don't shoot me"

Brian rolled his eyes. If Shaun was as smart as he should have been, then he would have known that he wasn't going to shoot him because Brian needed numbers.

"Oh right you never met her did you" Brian said, suddenly realising why Shaun couldn't pick it.

"Uh no Brian" Shaun said, slowly realising that he wasn't going to die.

"Agent Gibbs" Brian said, turning to Gibbs "where is Officer David?"

Gibbs looked around and noticed that Ziva was missing; he couldn't believe he hadn't worked that out before.

"I don't know" Gibbs replied.

Brian seemed to accept this answer and walked over to Tony and McGee hoping one of them knew where she was.

"Do either of you know where the Jew is?" Brian asked forcefully getting increasingly annoyed that he hadn't managed to get everyone.

Tony and McGee sat silently on the ground, both of them knew where Ziva had gone but neither of them was going to put her in danger. Brian pulled out his gun and pointed it at the two men getting very frustrated with there continuous disregard for who was in charge.

"Tell me where she is," Brian snapped "or I swear to god neither of you will live through this"

Tony and McGee continued to sit there silently, both of them were scared but both of them would also give their life to save another member of the team. Brian let out a frustrated groan and looked around the room. As Brian was glancing around he saw NCIS's forensic scientist sitting on the ground and a plan formed in his head.

Brian walked over to where Abby and Ducky were sitting and pointed his gun directly at Abby's head.

McGee gasped and for a minute Tony thought he would have to restrain him from going over there and beating the living daylights out of Brian.

"Tell me where she is or I shoot you're little girlfriend over here" Brian said smugly placing his gun on Abby's temple.

McGee was scared; he and Abby had only been together for a few months but already he knew that she was the one he wanted by his side for the rest of his life.

"She went outside for some air" McGee sighed, he felt terrible for giving Ziva up but he knew that she wouldn't have wanted him to sacrifice Abby to save her.

Brian smiled and took his gun away from Abby's head.

"Thankyou Agent McGee," Brian said lowering his gun so it was pointing at the floor "as a reward I'm going to let Miss Scuito here come over and sit with you and Agent DiNozzo"

With that Brian lifted Abby up forcefully and dragged her over to Tony and McGee. McGee grabbed Abby and pulled her into a hug as Brian forced her to the ground.

"Are you ok?" McGee whispered clutching Abby's hand so tightly his knuckled were going white.

"I am now" Abby replied and returned McGee's strong grip.

Tony watched Abby and McGee and wished that he was with Kate; he didn't care where it was just as long as he was with her.

"Ryan," Brian said loudly causing one of his men to come over "Take Shaun and find Kate and Officer David"

"But we looked everywhere," Ryan replied "Where else are we supposed to look?"

Brian glared at the two men who too a few steps back and nodded before going off to do their jobs.

Brain was just about to say something to the hostages in the room when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Who's that?" Brian whispered so as not to alert them that he was there.

"I don't know" Tony replied hoping it wasn't Kate or Ziva.

"Let's go check shall we" Brian said smugly and dragged Tony off the ground and towards the steps which was quite painful for Tony as he wasn't used to having so much weight on his legs.

Brian finally released Tony from his grip and said quietly "if they're not NCIS get rid of them….unless its Kate"

Tony nodded and walked to the top of the stairs.

"Who's there?" Tony asked nervously hoping they weren't NCIS.

"Just me," a familiar voice replied "I forgot something earlier and I was just coming back to get it"

"Dad," Tony answered "what are you doing here?"

"I just said I forgot something" Antonio snapped annoyed that Tony hadn't heard him the first time.

"Well you can't get it now" Tony said quickly trying to think of an excuse so he would leave.

"Why not?" Antonio exclaimed.

"Umm because we're in the middle of a lockdown drill," Tony explained "nobody comes in or out"

"It'll only take a minute;" Antonio pleaded "I'll be in and out in a flash"

"NO," Tony yelled annoyed he wasn't getting it "NOBODY CAN COME IN"

Brian was standing next to Tony but out of sight of Antonio and was getting increasingly anxious because it was staking so long. It was then he made a decision after all he couldn't risk this guy suspecting that something was going on and leaving so he could inform the authorities.

Brian grabbed Tony by his shirt and pulled him to the ground causing Tony to grunt in pain.

"What the hell are you doing?" Tony said and for the first time actually being worried about his father. Brian just smiled and stood at the top of that stairs.

"Who are you?" Antonio demanded getting worried that something bad was happening "what did you do to my son?"

"Nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you" Brian replied and with that pulled out his gun and shot Antonio in the stomach causing him to roll backwards down the stairs and land in a pool of his own blood.

"DAD" Tony screamed feeling something for his father that he hadn't felt in years and hoping that he wasn't dead.
