I didn't know that date was his birthday. Funny thing then. In my story his character's birthday is in late May.

………….10th of august……………

A lot had happened the past month. The marine who had died actually died because of a sickness. The bomb threats were false and no one could trace the phone call or find out who was after them… It didn't take so long for the Gibbs to get temporary custody over Isabella and when Nick after a week in New York was going to home to his parents he ran away the second day after coming home. Then when they found him he had run away again two days later. The last time he was found in Gibbs house by Gibbs. His parents had already moved away and no one wanted to take anymore responsibility for him since he clearly never listened to anyone. Lauren felt responsible and soon enough Nick moved to New York to Lauren and the Gibbs got temporary custody over him too. So once again he had two kids living in New York and fully content with life. In the back of his head he actually was happy because he felt he was getting a second chance with raising kids. The first time didn't go so well even though has a great relationship with his kids now. He couldn't believe he had changed so much. Nothing stayed the same and sometimes that was good and bad. Right now he only wanted to just work and get whoever was after them. It had been very quiet after the bomb threats. Fornell was quite sure it wasn't Ari who was after them again but then who was it…

………………..At work……………….

"So I know it is really hot today. Looks like the whole USA has the same weather. We haven't had so many cases during the last month but the ones we've solved we've solved pretty quickly and that is good…About our own case well our leads point to a few persons who are capable to do this but we don't know who of them it can be." Gibbs said and he couldn't continue because the phone rang.

"Why does the phone always have to ring when I'm talking?"

"You talk a lot, boss." Tony said before answering. Once again he got a strange expression on his face.

"A few cars have blown up outside the base. They are marine vehicles. No one was hurt" Tony told him.

"Ok, so McAllister and McGee come with me." Gibbs told them.

………………..At the place of the explosions…………….

When the three arrived some marines where watching over the vehicles.

"So what happened?" Gibbs asked them. Then suddenly from the bushes and behind the trees some people with weapons came up to them.

"We put bombs on them, blew them up and called you…It was quite easy…Just as easy as breaking into your office and taking some other people as hostages…" an unknown man told him.

Gibbs understood that it wasn't much he could do but someone must soon enough now they were missing.

………………At the office…………

"So how many people have we here?" one of the kidnappers asked before starting to count. It was 15 persons including Abby, Meggy (Meagan), Ducky, Palmer, Kate and Tony.

All their guns had been taking away from them and it was clear the kidnappers didn't care about dying since someone would any minute now find out they were kidnapped. Just as he thought they were going to stay there all the time they were taken away and put in a truck which went out of the base. This made him believe it was an inside job and only Ari could manage to plan such a thing. Everything that happened before just happened to make them think someone else was after them. Being told Gibbs and the others were kidnapped too didn't help. Right now Tony was most worried about Kate. She was 7 months pregnant and this could really make her sick and hurt both her and the baby.

……………….A few hours later on the news……………….

"30 persons at the marine have been kidnapped. Half of them disappeared when they were investigating some explosions outside their base and the other half disappeared when they were at the base. According to our sources the perpetrators cut the power at the base and took the hostages out that way. The police, FBI, CIA and Pentagon have launched investigations and are trying to find them as soon as possible." The news anchor said.

………

Nick was watching the news and immediately knew it had to be NCIS. He called Lauren who was at work. The two 14 year olds sat worried at home until Lauren came home. She had already got a call from Gibbs' boss about what had happened when Nick called her.

As soon as she got home she told they were going to Virginia, back home. When they were packing suddenly the power went out. The Gibbs family turned on the radio and an hour later they found out the power had actually gone in the eastern USA all the way down to Florida, a big part of Canada, California and some other western states and also some big parts of Europe…
