A/N: Here we go folks, another chapter! To my recent followers/favourites, welcome aboard! I'm so glad to have you with us on these continuing adventures! To my reviewers, thank you so much! I really love reading your thoughts, they keep me inspired to write.
To my guest reviewers:
CookieSprinkles: Thanks for your review! Interrogating that man will happen in due course, but getting Mrs G to do would be interesting! Mike & Jonas are banged up and we'll just have to wait & see how they'll both come through it.
Sue Dooley: Thanks!
Momcat: I don't do entire stories without angst, fluffy chapter yes, but there is always something around the corner. To answer you comment about Nix living in the constant state of stress though in DC with his sister, he didn't really, because he didn't know the score, as far as her 'dead' parents were concerned, so that was all on Kelly. I'm not saying he didn't have stresses, because he did have to deal with the constant thought that maybe Mac would show up, but compared with his sister, the stress & vigilance wasn't as high. I assure you though Gibbs will find him, what state he or the kidnappers will be in though… we'll you'll have to wait & see, sorry!
Ladyaloysius: Glad you're loving this still, and yes Gibbs gut is fairly accurate, but he is Rambo protective, so its a balancing for him with his family. As for meeting Patricia.. that will come & let's just say, she is Tony's sister right? ;p
Warning: There is swearing in this chapter, Gibbs & others will be letting loose - I think we'll give them all a pass on the swear jar though, because otherwise, I think Mrs G would have enough to.. well, yes...
LEO = Law Enforcement Officer; A.I.D = Agent In Distress alarm
Now, without further delay, let's get into it!
Andrews rushed towards Jonas, but caught sight of another body lying slumped on a grass patch not too far away "Nikos! Over there, could be Ensign Evans!" he ordered as he dropped down to Jonas with Chen. He instantly stripped his top off & pressed it into his shoulder region to stem the bleeding he'd obviously sustained from the gun shot "Jonas! Jonas!"
Jonas groaned "fuck"
"Hey!" Andrews called again, gently tapping his cheek, he needed to keep him conscious "stay with me Jonas! Where's Phoenix? Where's Evans?"
"Out of nowhere… tried…. tried….. too many…" Jonas groaned
Andrews shared a look of concern with Chen "they're in the SUV's?" he asked, that wasn't good! "Quinton!" he said patting his cheek again "were they taken?"
Jonas managed to get an eye open "Nix gone… HC 578 XYZ…. Joyce…"
Chen's eyes widened "number plate! He got it!" he grabbed his phone & typed it in before he forget it, then he realised something "wait.. Nix….. Phoenix was taken? As in Phoenix Gibbs?" shit, this wasn't good!
Andrews cursed, this wasn't good, not good at all!
"Call for EMT's! And MP's!" McGee yelled, his hands were way too busy!
Andrews grabbed his phone, usually he'd call his direct supervisor but this one was going straight to the top, on the fifth ring it was answered "Col Marks sir, this is Lt Andrews, Phoenix Gibbs has been kidnapped from the Port, we need MP's & at least 3 EMT vehicles sir"
"Evans needs the EMT's!" Nikos shouted, but saw another body "got another body! Just there!"
Andrews motioned for Chen to investigate.
Marks shook himself awake "Lieutenant, slow down & repeat, it sounded as though you said Phoenix was kidnapped"
"HE WAS SIR! In 2 SUV's, Agent Quinton, Captain Bond & Ensign Evans are all in need of serious & immediate medical attention sir" Andrews repeated.
Marks shot out of bed "exact location Andrews?" upon receiving it, he put the LT on hold & re-dialled for the base control centre "get 3 EMT teams down to the port, exact location being texted as we speak & send an entire squad of MP's along as well & I want 4 MP's to my residence, don't ask why Major! Just do it, now! I want them all there yesterday!"
Marks took a breath, he saw his wife was also wide eyed awake "call Harm for me, tell him to get all trauma teams into the hospital asap & to start prep for at least 3 serious situations"
Maggie nodded but was very worried "did Andrews say Phoenix got kidnapped?" the only reply she received was a concerned nod.
Mark went back to the Lt "Andrews! EMT's & MP's are on the way, now what the fuck happened?" he asked as he pulled clothes on as fast as he could.
"Mike!" Kelly cried, he'd lost consciousness & she was really worried about him. She was doing her best to put her all consuming worry about her brother out of her mind, she had to deal with what was in front of her & that was one of her best friends fighting for his life.
"Kell, he's just unconscious" Tim soothed, praying he was right. He wished he could take hold of her, he wished he had a spare hand but he was using both his hands, and a leg to keep the pressure on all his wounds as firm as possible. He had no idea what on earth Mike had been through, but it was more than just what he'd seen, he was an utter mess.
"3 EMT's & MP's are on the way McGee!" Andrews shouted "Col Marks has got 4 MP's headed for Gibbs's residence just in case!" he wasn't sure that was necessary, the family did live in the middle of the base, but he wouldn't argue with the Colonel right now.
"Good!" Tim nodded, he quickly cast his eyes around, where the hell was Carter? Did he manage to get the punk? He saw a man he now recognised as Sgt Nikos over another body which he could only presume was Ensign Evans. He realised there was one call he had to make… he had to call Gibbs..
Fornell had no clue what going on, an Agent in Distress alarm was never a good thing, but Gibbs looked down right homicidal & he suddenly sprinted out of the room "DiNozzo! What's going on!?"
Tony swallowed "Jonas was with Kelly & Phoenix, gotta go!" he yelled taking off after Gibbs.
Fornell shared a very concerned look with Michael, this didn't sound good!
Gibbs was downright petrified, he raced out of MTAC & down the stairs as he dialled his phone, he first tried his daughter, but she didn't pick up "Call me Kelly!" next he tried his son, same thing, he didn't pick up "Call me Phoenix!"
Tony instantly tried calling Tim, but just like Gibbs, he wasn't having luck getting through "Answer Tim! Call me McGee! ASAP!"
"Kruse! Wu! Gear up! Full load!" Gibbs yelled rushing through the bullpen.
Tristan was passing Gibbs on her way back to MTAC "we'll get exact details, be in touch! Vella! Donnelly! With me!" she was glad that both agents had wrapped the investigations they'd both been dealing with & could focus on the current situation.
"They should be down at the port" Gibbs yelled back.
Gibbs had his phone plastered to his ear, it was on a loop constantly calling his kids and as he threw himself into the car his phone rang, hoping it was McGee he was disappointed it wasn't, it was Ted, he threw the phone to Tony "answer" he wasn't sure why he just didn't ignore it, but he didn't.
"GPS signal for all of them are from a carpark behind a row of clubs Gibbs" Ziva remarked, she was on the line with MTAC, and all of their signals, Tim, Jonas, Kelly & Nix were all showing to be in the same area.
"Ahh boss, you need to speak to Ted" Tony said very worried.
Gibbs flashed him a concerned look but took the phone "Busy Ted" he didn't have time for this.
"Tony said, but I'm worried about Phoenix" Ted said concerned "he was speaking with Stacey, she said that out of nowhere she heard yelling & shouting. She brought me the phone instantly & I heard the same thing, multiple screaming voices. I heard him scream something along the lines of 'dragon left arm & skull right neck' but that was all I got before the voices got more distant & just faded away, like the phone got dropped or something, what's going on?"
Gibbs stomach dropped further, fuck! fuck! fuck! fuck! "Don't know yet, I've gotta go!" he had to get there!
"Boss!" Tony exclaimed, they'd just turned onto the freeway that went right down to the port & he saw 3 EMT vehicles & a pair of marine vehicles all a mile ahead of them, sirens blazing.
Gibbs saw exactly what Tony was pointing at when his phone rang, it was McGee, he answered via speaker "McGee! What the fuck is going on?" he demanded.
Tim could hear how scared Gibbs was, how the hell was he going to say this? "Not exactly sure what happened…"
"Mike!" Kelly yelled, he was now convulsing "Tim! What's happening?" she was trying to keep him from bleeding out, but he just started shaking.
Tim rearranged the phone so he could use both hands again "he's having a convulsion, we really need that ambulance" he said to himself more than anyone else, not even realising he said it out loud.
Tony flashed a worried look back to Ziva, this didn't sound good! "EMT's are ahead of us, we should be there soon McGee"
Gibbs heard utter pain in his daughter's voice "what happened?!" he barked, he got no reply all he heard was more shouting.
"McGee! Kelly!" Gibbs barked again, as he floored it, he was now right behind one of the marine vehicles & saw the rest of the NCIS team right behind him.
"Boss, I really don't know how to say this…" Tim started, but he was again interrupted
"Shut the fuck up before I run you over arsehole!" Carter barked as he manhandled the bastard they'd caught, with Sanderson right next to him.
"You'll pay for this!" the man sneered.
"Use your right to remain silent" Sanderson asserted as he kept his hand firmly on the man's biceps.
"I need help!" Tim ordered towards the pair.
"I've got him" Sanderson said, shoving the guy back down to the ground.
"It's soaked through, I need your shirt!" Tim exclaimed.
Carter rushed over "Shit!" he stripped his top off & passed it to McGee "EMT's?"
"On the way, so is back up" Tim confirmed "Damn it Mike, hang on!" he couldn't seem to stop the bleeding.
"McGee!" Gibbs barked, he was at his limit, none of this was sounding good. Screw this phone, he was there, he pulled the car up right next to the trio of EMT & marine vehicles. Throwing himself out of the car he saw a scene of utter chaos, but he zeroed in on his daughter & raced towards her.
Sanderson saw the EMT's & MP's arrive "Corporal! 3 men over here, now!" he ordered, they needed to cuff the punk, when a trio of MP's approached he continued "cuff this guy, he moves an inch, shoot him!"
"Yes Sargent!" the MP's answered as they secured the man.
Commander Brine approached the carpark, having received a call from Maggie & being in the area, he thought it would be more helpful. He'd sent his wife straight to the hospital, she wasn't medical staff, but she did work in the administration.
"My g-d!" Brine exclaimed, approaching he saw chaos, there were bodies everywhere, with one or two people over each & he'd just seen the EMT's, MP's & Local LEO's arrive on scene. He hurried to the nearest body he came to.
"Commander!" Nikos saw, the head doctor, thank the stars! "Ensign Evans seems to have been concussed, maybe a broken arm, wrist too, and she keeps drifting in & out of consciousness" he realised something though "EMT's can handle her sir, Agent Quinton & Captain Bond need you more, they've both been shot"
Brine cursed but nodded "tell them to pack her up & get going!" he ordered.
Andrews saw Commander Brine approach & while he'd be grateful for the assistance, he knew the EMT's would be able to manage, and Captain Bond needed him more "go to Captain Bond sir!" he yelled.
Brine did as suggested but barked out orders to his paramedics "one unit there, another there! Mitchell's with me!"
"Kelly!" Gibbs exclaimed as he reached her, but he flashed a look around, where was Phoenix? Bodies were everywhere, but where was his son?
"Dad!" Kelly yelled, she would have thrown herself into him, but her hands were busy.
Gibbs instantly took hold of her, and took in Mike's condition, holy shit! was all he thought, he was an utter mess "you ok?" he asked her, she had blood all over her arms & clothes, was it all from Mike or was she injured?
Kelly shook her head "he's dying, they took him dad, they took Phoenix" she cried into his shoulder.
Gibbs eyes went as wide as they've ever gone before, his son was taken? He looked to Tim who was yelling for EMT's but also casting worried glances his way "McGee, what the fuck happened & where is my son?"
"Boss, I really have no idea, we came outside to find where he was, he was outside speaking with Stacey, Mike, Jonas & Joyce were all with him. While we were looking for them, Jonas's A.I.D. went off, we came around to the carpark, but we were all the way on the other end, and Jonas & Mike were both trying to get into one of the two SUV's that were down here. Both got shoved out & shot, Mike was then run over. But he did manage to bring one of the men with him, Carter & Sanderson apprehended him" Tim started to explain.
Gibbs flashed a look towards Sanderson, there was him & 3 MP's now standing over a guy lying on the ground, his venom rose as high as it could go.
"Boss, I tried to get here as fast as possible, but the SUV's took off, there was no time to get a car, we're parked in the other carpark, boss I swear I tried…" Tim finished trying to show how much he tried to get down here as fast as possible. "Before he passed out Mike said they came out of nowhere & there were too many of them, they did everything they could!"
Tony was in utter shock at not only the scene but what he was hearing, he could see the pain & indeed how much his friend had tried to get there. He also considered that if Mike had said there were too many & given how bad he looked there had to have been serious numbers that had been here. Looking at the guy it was clear he'd done everything to try to stop them taking Nix.
Gibbs was trying to take it all in, but he wasn't quite processing it all, all he knew was that his son had just been kidnapped & given how bad Mike was looking there had to have been multiple kidnappers.
Brine reached the group huddled over Mike & his eyes widened, what the fuck had happened to this guy!? "What's happened?" he asked, he got no answer "Jethro! What's happened?" he repeated
Tony saw Gibbs quite possibly in shock, he was clearly trying to process what he'd heard "Phoenix has been kidnapped, Mike tried to prevent it, got into what looks like a serious fight before he got thrown from an SUV, shot at & then run over"
"I can't stop the bleeding, he's been convulsing, and he's lost consciousness" Tim added, he was really concerned about Gibbs reaction, thus far it had been nothing.
"Good g-d!" Brine exclaimed "Mitchel's, bandages, I.V.!"
Gibbs felt like it had all seeped into his brain finally, he wanted to curl up & cry, he should have listened to his gut! He shouldn't have let his guard down! But there was no time for it "Kruse! Liaise with the LEO's and canvas the area, get all the street cam footage possible! See if there are any witnesses! Get some of the MP's to help!" he looked towards Sanderson "Sargent! Get MP's to my residence!" he shouted, he had a firm grip of his daughter, but whatever this was, he needed to get his wife & dad under protection, he looked up to Tony "get Brunswick over there too"
Andrews had left Jonas in the MP's capable hands, along with Wu, he approached Gibbs "They're already on their way sir, Col Marks was having a 4 man detail en-route when the EMT's were leaving base"
Brine was working like crazy to secure the bandages & stem the bleeding, he had Mitchell's next to him "is he allergic to anything?" he asked, again no response "Jethro! Kelly! Is Michael allergic to anything?" he didn't want to give him anything until he knew it was ok to proceed
Gibbs could see his girl was struggling & he didn't need to be a mind-reader to know why, he cupped her chin "Kell, we gotta help Mike, is he allergic to anything?"
Kelly took a deep breath & tried to concentrate "yes! shellfish & soy products"
Brine nodded, neither would hamper his treatment "ok, that's good" he turned to Mitchel "get that IV in & check his extremities" flashing a look around he needed to verify what else was going "Leonard! Sanchez! Report!" he yelled.
"One GSW to the shoulder, concussion, and possible broken leg & arm sir! Almost ready for transport" Leonard reported working over Jonas.
"The Ensign has a broken arm & concussion sir!" Sanchez reported "Byrne says that guy over there is dead!"
Brine didn't even realise there was another man, he took a breath "Alright, Leonard, get going as soon as you're ready! Tell them to use O.R. 2, Sanchez get her back to hospital but get an MP to drive you. Byrne get your butt over here!" he needed all the hands he could get, when his paramedic reached them he ordered "call hospital operations for me"
When the call went through Brine started "This is Commander Brine, I want O.R. rooms 1 thru 3 prep'd & ready for immediate surgery, the trauma teams have 10 minutes to get there & scrubbed up! All x-ray & scan rooms are to be cleared & ready for use, clear everything off the decks!" he instructed "I want as many litres of blood you can get for NCIS Agent Jonas Quinton & Marine Captain Michael Bond…"
"He's AB negative" Kelly said interrupting him.
Brine looked up, crap! "Captain Bond is AB negative, find all you can! And check records for all staff find any that are the same & get them to donate!" this was a rare type & he knew the Captain would need a substantial amount of it.
Gibbs saw that Tony seemed to have organised the marines into some sort of security perimeter & they were now working with the local LEO's for everything. He was taking charge of the scene, which he was glad for because he really couldn't think straight, holding his girl firmly in his grasp as he watch Brine try to get Mike ready for transport he just couldn't believe his son had been taken, how the hell would he tell his wife? As if on queue he heard his phone ring & it was her, he took a deep breath trying to force the baseball size lump in his throat down.
"Jethro! What is going on!?" Shannon exclaimed, she was extremely worried
"Ah…" Gibbs tried to say something, but how the hell does he tell his wife their son had been kidnapped?
A/N: Hmm.. just how will Gibbs tell Shannon? At least Nix was able to get some intel about the kidnappers to Ted over the phone! That will be very helpful! And Jonas got a number plate too! Glad though that Commander Brine was in the area, because its not really looking all that good for Mike :(
You know I love read your comments, so review away! More up soon!
