A/N: To my newest followers & favourites, welcome aboard! To my reviewers, thanks so much!

I know you're eager to see how the team take it & find out more about INTERPOL, so let's get straight into it..

"I have a sister" Tony said, it was just above a whisper, but given the room was silent, everyone had heard.

Kelly saw the shock on the faces of Tim, Tristan, Silva & Zuse, she understood it all.

"Sister?" Tim stuttered, what the?

"Yea, real full blown sister" Tony nodded.

Zuse didn't really know his boss that well, had no clue about his family, so he wasn't quite sure what the reason was for the shocked state.

Shannon saw Tony was stuck on the further explanation "Tony's sister was born out of wedlock, his parents had to give her up to adoption straight away" she said gently.

Ziva's eyes widened at that news, it went partly to explain the reason why Senior had looked the way he had.

"Her name's... Patricia" Tony said.

"A very strong name" Tristan commented, while she didn't know everything about Tony's family's past, this was quite obviously something he'd never known.

"Like you mum" Ziva smiled.

"Mother" Tony corrected, but he looked to Kelly "add her to the papers."

Kelly sighed, he wasn't going to let this go, she'd have to speak to him a little later once he'd calmed down, she nodded none the less.

Silva looked between the pair, she didn't understand Tony's need for correcting Ziva nor his comment to Kelly, but she'd seen her & her parents all slightly cringe at it, apparently, he was pissed off with his mother too.

Gibbs gave an internal sigh, he hoped his daughter could hold off until he'd calmed down & had a chance to think about it all when he wasn't so cut up with raw emotion. He thought it best to move them on to something they could all deal with "Let's get down to it, Tony's sister... Patricia, is actually a naval officer, Commander Patricia Kaplan & she's apparently missing" he would have continued, but that's all he knew.

Tristan's ears peaked up at this news, this was getting closer to why INTERPOL had gotten involved.

Kelly looked at Tony wondering if was going to speak or if he wanted her to do it.

Tony could see Kelly looking at him "can you?" he was still a little emotional.

Kelly nodded "Sure Tony"

Kelly pulled out a folder & opened it, it was a photo "Let me introduce you all to Commander Patricia Kaplan, of European Special Projects, who's duties fall into the confidential, but not classified arena" she added the last bit for the benefit to tell them, she could deal with this. As a civilian lawyer who was able to work within the military system, she had a 'confidential' clearance level. She also knew her mum had the same clearance, given dad's position & the fact that she'd done odd jobs at the various base buildings in terms of design, layouts, and honestly, who knew what, but she'd gotten the clearance required.

Gibbs eyes widened at the photo, that lady... he looked at Tony, he knew exactly why Tony was certain this lady was his sister "Damn"

Tony smiled "remind you of someone?"

Ziva understood Gibbs's reaction, her eyes were as green as Tony's she had brown hair just like him, though she couldn't tell the length as it was tucked up into a bun under her cover. She was basically his female twin.

Shannon just smiled at the photo, what caught her was the smile, it was the same grin with the same dimples that Tony had "you my boy, you"

"If she's navy though why are INTERPOL involved? Shouldn't we, as in NCIS be looking for her?" Silva asked, she knew that lady was Tony's sister, spitting image!

Kelly felt all eyes on her, it was the most logical question, one that she'd already posed to the INTERPOL Agents "she was working on a special joint task force with various NATO military teams & missing personnel are apparently handled by INTERPOL"

"That doesn't sound right to me" Tristan remarked "if one of ours is missing, we find them!"

Kelly smirked "hence why the INTERPOL Agents didn't want anyone baring Tony in that conversation. They want to try keep the investigation internal. Agent Moretti was at pains to say they will find her, they were merely making contact to see if Commander Kaplan had contacted Tony at all"

"She knows about Tony then?" Tim asked

Kelly nodded "Apparently yes. From what they told us..."

"you mean what you got them to confess" Tony smirked, he didn't normally like involving lawyers, but she'd gone to town on them & rightly so! They were assholes!

"They got off lightly" Kelly replied to Tony, after the way they handled the conversation, they didn't get half of what they deserved.

Gibbs wanted to get details on how exactly that conversation went down, but that wasn't something for right now.

"Ok, so she was apparently at the Defence Training Estate, in Norfolk, England when she went missing a week ago. When NATO & INTERPOL Agents started the search for her they checked her residence on base & her personal laptop had been left behind. They found she'd done numerous searches of hospital & adoption records." Kelly started to explain.

"So, she knew she was adopted & was looking for her family" Silva remarked.

Kelly nodded "Definitely, they also found that somehow she'd managed to..." she took a breath, she suddenly realised that what she was about to say could quite possibly bring charges against her, she changed the way she decided to say it "she managed to run her own DNA against the federal database & found a match in Tony's" saying she hacked into it, wouldn't have been wise.

Tim's eyes widened, that would have been a serious hack! "She..." but he didn't say anything more, Kelly was eyeing him as if to say 'shut up', he realised she knew very well what it meant.

"How'd she manage that?" Tristan asked.

Kelly gave an internal cringe "they aren't certain ma'am, all we know is that she know's that Tony is her brother" she hoped that she'd leave that line of questioning alone.

"Do we know anything about why she went missing?" Ziva asked, she could tell that not only did Kelly want Tristan to stop her line of questions, so did Tony.

"They aren't really sure why, at least that's what they've told us" Kelly replied, she was certain there was information they hadn't been told.

"Do we know what she was working on?" Silva asked.

"She's was part of the US military team that was taking part in a summit that was looking at how to adapt current bases for the future changing needs that all the services are facing in the face of the changing landscape of dealing with terror & piracy. The summit group is moving around looking at various bases around Europe & the US" Kelly explained, she'd had to drag that out of the agents, almost painfully. "but that's all we know"

Gibbs looked around, everyone seemed to be just trying to process everything they'd heard, he'd have to take the lead on this. He turned to McGee "find out where the summit team are now, we'll need to speak with the rest of the US team, they may be able to shed some light"

Tristan knew they'd also have to speak with INTERPOL, she dialled her phone "Kruse, are INTERPOL still here?... good, have them escorted to my office & keep them there! Gibbs & I need a word with them"

Gibbs nodded in agreement, he'd about to make the same phone call, he took a breath, there was one more thing they could, no needed to do "Tony, we'll need to look at her service record, there may be something in there to help us ascertain a reason for her disappearance"

"I know" Tony replied.

Gibbs didn't want the rest of this conversation to go down in front of every "McGee, take Silva & Zuse, get going to see what you can find, speak with our London office too & see what they have, if anything"

"Right boss" McGee replied, he could see Gibbs wanted to have a more private conversation with Tony, he stood & ushered the team's junior agents out with him.

"I'll meet you in my office Gibbs" Tristan remarked, she saw the same thing.

"If I could make one suggestion?" Kelly asked.

"Certainly Kelly" Tristan replied.

"If the urge to punch them, or anything similar comes up, call me? I'd like to do the honours" Kelly smirked.

Shannon couldn't help but look at her daughter surprised, she knew she was pissed at the agents, but to have openly say that... hmm...

Tristan raised her eyebrow, she turned to Tony "I know this might not be something you want to talk about Tony, but how exactly did those agents break the news to you?"

Tony huffed, he wasn't sure he could handle saying it.

"Coldly, harshly & downright wrongly!" Kelly answered "They first asked him if he was an only child, which he said yes to & I know that they clearly heard him, because their eyes widened at the confirmation. They then asked if he knew a Commander Kaplan & when he said no, they didn't believe him. They accused him of lying & harbouring a naval officer who was AWOL, so basically a deserter. When he still maintained he didn't know her, they asked how it was possible that he didn't seeing as she was his sister"

Gibbs tried to calm himself back down, those agents clearly knew Tony didn't know he had a sibling & then they just said it like that... that's just wrong! He was going to go to town on these agents!

"I see" Tristan said, she understood exactly why Kelly was so disgusted with them "just let your father & I deal with them, they wont get off lightly, I assure you both"

Gibbs totally agreed, he nodded at Tristan as she headed out, the remaining people - him, his wife, his daughter, Tony & Ziva, all just stood there for a few more minutes, again wanting to digest everything.

Gibbs stepped away from the wall & went towards Tony who was now sitting on the couch next to Ziva. His wife & daughter were both sitting on some chairs, he pulled one up as well close to Tony "Tony"

Tony looked up to Gibbs "I know, we have to look at her file"

"Yea, cause we've already said that, but you need to decide on how you find out the information" Gibbs said, he took a breath "Do you want to learn about her by reading her file? Or by speaking with her?"

Tony realised Gibbs was right, how did he want to learn about his sister? By reading her service record or by actually speaking with her? He knew what he'd prefer but.. "we need to look at it regardless, it might hold clues"

Gibbs nodded "It may, but looking at it doesn't have to be your job"

Ziva could understand why Tony would want to learn about his sister the 'right' way, but they did need to look at her service record "I can look at it if you'd like"

Tony looked at Ziva, he could see she'd do it in a heartbeat for him, but as he thought about it he came to a realisation "I want you to get to know her in person, like me" he wanted them both to get to know his sister together, in person.

Ziva smiled, he wanted them to do that together, which she'd love to...but then who'd look at it?

Tony looked at Kelly, he knew he was asking a lot, but she had experience at keeping things confidential "can you?"

"I'd be happy to Tony, but I wont deny that me looking at her record is not the same as one you looking at it, you all know what to look for a lot more than me" Kelly replied, she'd be happy to do it, but she wasn't a trained agent who knew what to look for.

Tony realised she was right "Tim can look with you, but I don't want know... unless it's serious"

"Can we confer with dad about what is 'serious'?" Kelly asked, she knew Tim would agree to doing it.

Tony nodded "yea"

Gibbs rose "ok, let's get to it, Ziva why don't you & Tony go downstairs & take over from Tim in driving the search, send him up here. Kells, you & Tim can use my office for now"

Shannon watched as they all nodded, she saw they start to head out but held Tony back "Tony, I'm going to go home, but you need anything, anything at all, just call me. Do you understand?" while she'd have loved to stay, they had work to do, they needed to concentrate. Besides, Jack was at home & they'd diverted Nix home too, she wanted to see how he was doing.

"Ok" Tony nodded, while he'd had preferred to have her stay, he knew they had to get going & concentrate.

"Can I tell Jack & Phoenix? Or is it something you want to do?" Shannon asked.

"You can" Tony answered.

Shannon nodded "ok, so... what do you want for dinner? Your choice"

"Not that hungry" Tony replied.

"You will need to eat something, that's not up for debate. So either decide or I will" Shannon replied.

"That chicken & sun dried tomato pasta we had the other week?" Tony asked, he remembered that being delicious "and some ice cream?" he added with a small smile.

"Pasta no problem, but the ice cream will be store bought, there's no time today to make it from scratch" Shannon replied.

Kelly had been giving the pair space but couldn't help but chuckle at the pout now showing on Tony's face.

"I'll make some for tomorrow, is that good enough?" Shannon replied, it was actually nice to see Tony pout at a trivial matter like this.

"Guess so, mint choc-chip with toffee?" Tony grinned.

"You're as bad as Phoenix!" Shannon smirked "ok"

Kelly watched as her mum & Tony headed out of her dad's office, she was glad his mood was getting better. This was going to be a tricky road to navigate through, but with all of them working together as a team, they'd be able to get through it.

A/N: So they all know now, that's a good thing! Seems Patricia was part of a pretty big task force, but with Kelly knowing they didn't tell her everything & Tristan suspicious could there be more going on than meets the eye?

But will all the focus on Tony just how is Nix doing? How'd he go at the club?

More up soon, you know I love reading your thoughts/comments, so review away & make me smile!
