I'm sorry if my chapters seem confusing. It's an ongoing thing with me I guess since I always get that comment in my stories. I try not to write confusing but maybe it is because I do see the whole story in my head it isn't confusing to me but confusing for you. This time I try to minimize the details because it makes my story so long and I don't think it's the best way to reach your readers at least not in this story. Feedback is always welcome, good or bad, so I thank everyone who took time to write them and a big thank you to them who read this story.
Since it is chapter 4 there isn't much left of this story so let's see if some answers will be found in this chapter.
……………….With Kate and Diana………
It was early Friday morning and the women were still shook up over what had happened to them. They were also shocked that they were still alive. After the film was made food was given to them but they heard nothing about if they would come back at all especially since they now knew everyone thought they were dead. Their lives were the last thing they thought about because they were worried that their babies were no longer alive. Being shot at with a BB gun so that fake blood could be shown had become too much for both of them but Diana didn't say a thing the first few hours after it happened. She had a big bruise on her stomach and feared the worst. Kate really felt for her and felt bad over not feeling as sick as Diana which could indicate something was wrong. Although she thought it also could be all the emotional stress which was showing its symptoms. The more she worried about Diana's baby the more worried she got about her own baby. Kate took up her shirt and looked at her bruise.
"Caitlin…Do you think we lost our children?" Diana asked her.
"I don't know…I don't want to think about it." Kate said while shaking her head.
"I think I know where we are…I don't understand why I didn't figure it our earlier but the knowledge won't help us since we can't communicate with anyone."
"How do you know where we are? You said you were blindfolded and wore ear protection just like me."
"You've told me everything you remember from when they took you and you came here. I don't remember so much and you told me that through how they spoke to us when they filmed us, the magazines and how we got kidnapped it is clear that they think the best way to get away with this is to not make anyone suspicious…" Diana said before she took a break. She didn't feel so well.
"Therefore if they did something we would do no one would know we're kidnapped and they knew NCIS wouldn't go public with our kidnapping in case some terrorists would do something crazy if they were chased."
"I own this house…I bought ten houses across the country to restore and to give poor families the chance of a real vacation so they could get their strength and life will back. I've never been to any of them and don't know where they are in the country but my charity did buy them. It was a few years ago I did this but no one who lives next to these houses would think it's strange if some unknown people keep on coming and going."
"I'm sorry but this seems like the worst vacation ever…" Kate told her.
They both smiled a little. It wasn't the right moment to laugh.
"Too bad we didn't know that before we wrote the letter." Kate sighed.
…………At NCIS…………
"I've looked at the DVD and letter many times. I haven't changed my conclusion of the DVD. It seems like real blood and they put on a sound effect to make the gun shots sound much louder. I try to make the footage lighter but it was really dark in the room. On the other hand I think the letter gave me more information. None of you think they come up with the text themselves so they were told to write that. I also see that it seems some letters in the words have been written through twice. Maybe that is because of a bad pen and poor lighting. I took out those letters to see if there was a secret message somehow in the message. I made some words out of half of the letters but maybe I'm trying to hard and I'm seeing things which aren't there." Abby told Gibbs, McGee, Tony and Daniel.
"Show the letter on the big screen again." Daniel demanded. Abby had a big TV where she could show the evidence up close.
"Do you see anything?" Gibbs wondered.
"It isn't letters marked twice but the letters marked with a little dot in the end…It's from her story "Dotted Words"… It's the only story where she scanned in her handwriting to make a point but I didn't find out who was the murderer until the end. The murderer was a chair not a person. Everyone knew it was the chair which had killed the person but they thought someone struck the victim with it not that it fell down on him…" Daniel explained.
"You didn't tell me about it." Tony said to him thinking about how genius the story sounded.
"Why was it called "Dotted Words" ?" McGee wondered.
"The one who hid the body always dotted some letters in her words and she didn't get caught until a forensic specialist noticed it…Diana's computer crashed so the story got lost but I did read it. I guess the forensic specialist got a name. Abby." Daniel said happy.
"Hopefully it can narrow down the list of buildings we have." Gibbs told them.
……………A few hours later……….
Daniel and Tony sat in the car ready for what would happen any second now. They weren't allowed to be there but they didn't care.
"There is so much I want to say but I can not come up with the right words. We share the same pain, worry and anxiety. I just hope it will stop now. I can't take it anymore. I hope we'll stay in contact." Daniel said to him. It sounded strange but it was all he managed to say now.
"We'll always be friends just like our wives will be." Tony said before he stepped out of the car.
……………………
A house was stormed…A cellar was found…Two beds were found and they were empty.
A TV stood in the cellar with a note on it. Turn me on. One of the FBI agents got the permission to turn it on. When they did that they could only see a black screen. Everyone wondered what is what all about but then they heard a voice.
"At this internet address you can see their slow death. It's up to you to guess if it is live or not. Did they die at the shooting and am I just playing with you?" the voice said before the internet address was shown. Quickly a few of them wrote it down before it disappeared.
"And if they didn't die then I can say that they will die now because by turning on the TV you cut the air supply in the room which they were or are held. It's like that episode of CSI…This room will now explode in 20 seconds…I hope it is enough time to get everyone out of here."

FF is going to update their system so you'll probably have to wait until next year for the next update.
