My stories always become so long but I'll try to keep it short and not so many details. I did quit writing and stop watching the show because it hurt so much ( NCIS season 3 has started here in Sweden) but night after night this story kept popping up in my head. It probably won't go away until I post it.
……………November 5th 2006………….
Mrs Diana Alexanderson thought about her unbelievable day. It had started of so well but ended really badly. She had got up in the morning and was enjoying that she had a day off. Her husband was coming home from France tomorrow. Still it wasn't a day off. It was Friday and she had a lot of work related things to do today. That's why she got up very early in the morning to finish them and so by early afternoon the last thing she would do was to go to the bank.
………….
Mrs Caitlin Dinozzo didn't feel so well but her new found friend completely understood how she felt because she felt the same. None of them understood how they had landed in this predicament. They had nothing in common they both thought but as time would reveal they had very much in common which in the end landed them in this situation.
…………….
Diana is 31 and has been married for less than six months. She has been with her husband nearly three years but they've been acquaintances for around 6 years.
She was the oldest out of five siblings and when she was 18 she won a lot of money on the lottery. She kept that a secret for everyone the first three years so she could do whatever she wanted with her money with having no questions asked. In the end she had to admit she had won some money but no one knew how much. Diana had always been grateful that the lottery company agreed to let her name be a secret. She had always been good with money and she had invested them wisely. When she was 25 she had a lot more money than she had when she won the lottery. She had started a company, a law firm and a charity organisation…
In her work life she was successful but she had only done those things so she could herself organise her time and life and not let a boss determine how much she worked and how she worked. Her goal in her life had always to have children and since she was 24 she had gone through several inseminations and later several in-vitro fertilisations but none had been successful. When she was 28 she had decided to move to San Francisco and start over there.
A guy who had been nice to go on two pity dates with her two years ago because he was friends with her best friend's husband suddenly suggested they could go to a concert just to mark their friendship wouldn't be lost because she moved. Out of those dates nothing came out of them except someone who liked to go to concerts with her when no one else wanted.
After that one concert he bought her an ice-cream and she never moved to San Francisco.
…………………….
Caitlin is 31 and has been married for less than six months. She has known him since they started to work together but have only been together for a year and a half but they knew immediately they were each other's soul mates. After one special attempted assassination of their lives and their boss' life everything changed.
Ever since that she had been happy. The terrorist who wanted to kill them got caught and everyone could go on with their lives.
Today her husband told her to go home early from work and that he could finish up her paperwork. She had thanked him and said goodbye to her co-workers. Her husband was going to be driven home by their friend Abby so she could take the car.
…………………
Daniel Alexanderson tried to get in touch with his wife the whole day but she didn't answer at home or at her cell. He got worried and called their friends and family who would contact him when they found her. He had his cell on all the time until he boarded the plane on Saturday because he hadn't heard anything. When he came home his brother and his wife's two sisters were in the apartment. Everyone had looked for her but she was nowhere to be found.
Diana was gone and then soon after that they reported her missing.
……………
When Tony came home his wife wasn't there. The car was outside their house and her bag in the sofa but she wasn't home. He wondered where she could be and searched both inside and outside the house before he started to call their friends. Later that night Kate was reported missing.
……………..
The police soon found out Daniel hadn't been so happy with Diana working so much and that he wanted to take some workload of her by taking over her job at her company but that hadn't happened because Diana didn't want that. She wanted to keep her work life separate from her personal life. They soon found out that in case they got divorced Daniel would get nothing and Diana had stated in her will he would also get nothing if she died. It seemed he had no reason to kill her. Then on Monday the police found out 10 million had been transferred to an account on the Cayman Island belonging to someone named Alex D. Daniels and after that no one could trace where the money had been transferred to because it was no longer at the Cayman account. In the phone records you could also see that Daniel had placed some calls to that bank on the Caymans the week he was in France.
Daniel was then thrown into jail. He protested and said he had been framed but no one at the police believed him. He said that Diana had agreed on letting him take over her job at her company which wasn't a big job since it meant only working one day per week with it but it meant he could take the other job he wanted which meant he could be more with his family because he could work less at the other job and he didn't care about that his salary was a bit lower. Diana had three jobs and with this solution it worked for everyone and Diana had realised it when he was in France. She had been taking it easy since she got pregnant and in the end someone had to do her job because things were piling up.
Daniel was quite lucky to have both sides of the family firmly believing him but he had never been in jail before and it immediately was taking its toll on him.
……………………..
Tony had been out of his mind since Kate disappeared. There were no signs of kidnapping and none of the neighbours had seen anything. The whole NCIS and the local police worked all weekend on the case but no one thought any longer her disappearance was work related. Kate's and Tony's car was searched for any evidence but nothing was found. On Monday the local police wanted to talk to Tony about some new leads they had got. When they led him out of the interrogation room he was handcuffed suspected to have something to do with Kate's disappearance. He protested and Gibbs strongly protested too.
The police had wondered how the car could be as clean as it was when they searched it. No hair was found in it from either Kate or Tony and they drove in it everyday. Tony knew how to make evidence disappear because of his work. It had also taken him some time to contact his friends to help him search for her. They didn't believe him when he said he had searched alone and was deeply concerned that something really bad had happened to her. But what in the end made them arrest him was that a police dog who had searched for Kate in the woods had found tire tracks matching their car's tire tracks along side a white clothe with some blood on it which matched Kate's DNA.
………………….Wednesday the 10th of November…………………
It was around 11pm and Gibbs waited for two persons to arrive. It had been a hectic day but the questions had only become more. He was now really deeply concerned over the two women. Where they still alive, because this clearly wasn't any longer an ordinary kidnapping. The money was already gone and no ransom would be asked for. Was this kidnapping a revenge thing? Revenge against whom? Against the women, the men or all of them? What was the connection between a rich New York couple and two NCIS agents?
………………………………..
Flashback to the 5th of November
Kate walked down the stairs and saw two beds and a woman sitting on one of them. She slowly walked up to the empty bed and looked up at the woman.
"Hi…I figured someone else would come." Diana told her.
"Have you been here long?"
"An hour tops. It was a long journey here. I live in New York."
"I live in Virginia. I'm Kate."
"I'm Diana. There is bathroom with a toilet, a shower and a sink here in the cellar. Even a little fridge and I think that is so they don't need to feed us so many times but there isn't so much food here or light." Diana said looking around the room which only had one lamp which lit up almost half of the room.
"Don't I know you?" Kate asked.
"I feel that I've met you too but I can't recall when…Anyway they gave us many baby magazines. They must know us really well since they know I'm pregnant." Diana explained to her. She thought more about if it could have been ten years ago they met.
"Are you pregnant too? I'm four months pregnant." Kate told her.
"Wow…Because I'm four months pregnant. The next thing you're going to say is that we got married the same month." Diana said a little surprised.
"I got married this year. June 6th." Kate further explained.
"OMG…Guess when I got married?" Diana asked shocked.
Kate immediately understood the answer.
End of flashback
……………………………………………
The two men exited the elevator at the same time and Gibbs watched them. He knew what they had been through and couldn't imagine how it would feel to be suspected of your pregnant wife's murder. He wondered why the kidnappers had sent a letter to FBI in Washington stating that the two woman had been kidnapped by the same people when the two men could have been sent to jail for the rest of their lives. To make them suffer even more?
…………..
The whole night the three men discussed the case. In the morning Daniel went to church and he had asked if Tony wanted to come. Reluctantly he had said yes just because he hoped that unknowingly Daniel might know something which could lead them to the kidnappers.
"I have a feeling I've met you a long time ago. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago." Daniel said to Tony.
"I often remember people I've met and I have the same feeling. We must find out what that is. It can be why they got kidnapped." Tony stated.
