Chapter Seven:
The room was so silent that you could have heard a pin drop. Tony felt a roaring in his ears and then the room was noisy again. "I'm sorry, I seem to be hearing things. Want to run that by me again?" Gibbs asked deceptively softly, a slow rage beginning to burn in his stomach "I said, Allysia isn't missing, I know exactly where she is. Or rather, where she will be in a couple of hours, when it is time to meet up for lunch, until then she's in the wind. So maybe you could reassure her father, let him know she is alright but other than that, tell him to leave her alone" Tony told Gibbs pointedly and in an instant Gibbs knew that Tony knew who Allysia's father really was.
Gibbs wasted no time in handing out some busywork to Kate and McGee and herding Tony down to the garage "I want to meet her" Gibbs informed the young agent who shook his head "I can't make that decision, it's up to Tiana. That's her name now, not Allysia" Tony told Gibbs as he slid into the passenger seat "And where are we going anyway? You're not going to kill me and bury me in the woods, are you boss?" Tony asked hesitantly and was rewarded with a half smile from Gibbs "No, but now that you mention it" Gibbs said as he felt some of the tension unwind from his body "When did you know?" Tony asked and Gibbs was silent for a minute, concentrating on the road in front of him "On Friday. Her mother told me, and asked me to find Allysia for her. She's sick" Gibbs revealed and Tony reached for his cell phone "Pull over and give me a minute" Tony instructed and when Gibbs complied Tony dove out of the car before glancing at Gibbs "You're not lying, about her mom being sick?" he asked and when Gibbs shook his head Tony carefully began composing a message to Tiana.
Tiana was undercover at a 'gentlemans' club, keeping an eye on one of her co-worker's targets when her cell beeped. It was Tony, asking her where she was. Concentrating more on her target that what Tony had asked Tia quickly typed her location and that she was undercover and pressed send before she thought to ask what he wanted. 'Oh well' she thought 'He'll tell me when he gets here' she mumbled and continued to mix drinks. Luckily for her, the manager was open to bribary and had believed her story that it was one of her fantasies to be ogled by strange guys all day.
Tony sighed when he read Tia's message and not recognizing the address he directed Gibbs to Tia's location. He knew Tiana would not be happy with him for interrupting her work with a visit from her dad, but he figured that knowing her mom was sick was a little more important. "What does Allysia do, anyway?" Gibbs asked and Tony shook his head "Not telling, boss. I'll let Tia deliver that little gem" Tony announced and paled under his tan when Gibbs stopped the car in front of a sign reading "Girlz Girlz Girlz: All Nude All The Time!" and immediately knew what Tia had meant by 'undercover'. "Boss, maybe this isn't a good idea" Tony began and Gibbs just shook his head and headed into the club, anxious to meet his daughter.
Tia was in the middle of serving a group of horny frat boys when she saw Tony enter the club, followed by a distinguished looking older man who she instantly recognized from the photos in Tony's apartment. She quickly looked around for a quick exit but her exit route was blocked by several groups of men waving notes in the air and Tiana knew she was trapped, as Tony and Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs headed for the bar, looking for her.
