A/N: Here's another chapter folks! I know, been a little while, but what can i say, RL has been crazy! To my latest followers/favourites, welcome aboard! To my reviewers, thank you so much! Love reading your comments, they keep me inspired!

To my guest reviewers:

Guest: Thanks! Glad you liked it, and yes, I'm aware Ziva wasn't in it, she will be back, I assure you!

Sue Dooley: Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying this! Yes, some good things are finally happening

Momcat: thanks! There is no one alive in this story that was dead in MTHDO, Mike, Ziva & Jack were all alive & present in that, so i'm sure who you're referring to.

Now, let's not delay, lets see what NOLA NCIS Agent Dwayne "King" Pride has! I really love Pride & NCIS NOLA, so I just had to include him in this story!

"You what?" Gibbs stuttered, was he serious "where are you?"

"The Belfast Central Bus Station" Pride answered

"McGee, bring up SSA Dwayne Pride's GPS signal, now!" Gibbs ordered, he turned to the room "Pride's got eyes on Patricia"

Tony's eyes widened "where!? Is she ok?!" an NCIS agent, someone he knew was a legend, had eyes on his sister? This was actually a good thing!

Fornell's eyes widened, Pride? He'd been down in NOLA recently and the guy was about to go on holiday's with his daughter, he didn't realise that it was in Belfast though & what was Kaplan doing in Belfast anyway?

"She looks tired & worried, but physically ok" Pride confirmed, he'd heard the yell through the phone.

"Come on McGee!" Tony huffed, he wanted to see exactly where his sister was!

"Give me a moment Tony" Tim remarked, he first had to find Pride's account details in order to locate him.

"There you go McGee" Abby remarked through the feed, she knew his details.

"Thanks Abs" Tim replied as he inputted the data into the system.

"Montgomery, patch him into the comms" Gibbs instructed, passing her his phone, he wanted everyone to hear Pride & visa versa.

"What's she doing?" Gibbs asked

"Right now I think she's trying to work out if she's being followed, I saw her get off a bus, it had come from the airport" Pride answered.

Tony suddenly saw a satellite image of Belfast come up on the screen & smack bang in the middle was the dot that was highlighting Pride's location, what was she doing in Belfast? Wait a sec "the piece of paper, it mentioned Belfast! Cousins or something?" he really wished he could remember the names of those damn cousins he'd seen at his uncle's funeral! But they didn't pay attention to him, so he didn't pay attention to them!

"Didn't your father originally come from Ireland Shan?" Ted enquired

Shannon just nodded in affirmation.

Gibbs looked to Marcus "Belfast an option?" if Patricia was there could his son be there too?

"It could definitely fit the path sir, and if he headed there and with the signal coming recently from the Scottish English border, they'd have to have stopped for a quick refuel already and they would only be getting to Belfast in about 30 minutes" Marcus explained, he knew what was coming & he and his flight team were ready to go!

"You want me to approach her?" Pride asked "not sure how much longer she will stay here, think she's ready to move out"

"What's your situation? Where's Laurel?" Vance enquired, he knew he was on vacation with his daughter.

"In a nearby coffee shop with a few cousins Director" Pride answered "I saw Kaplan as were entering the bus station on our way out of town" he'd asked them to go grab a coffee while he confirmed if it was who he thought it was.

Gibbs shared a look with Vance before he saw the man dial his phone, they had to get Laurel safe "Director's calling the embassy, he'll have a unit of marines come & get Laurel…." He couldn't get anything else out before getting interrupted.

"She's with my cousins, she's fine" Pride interrupted, he knew his girl safe with his family.

"Not taking any chances anymore Pride" Gibbs remarked, he was not going any chance, ever again! "we wait until they're with her before you approach" he hoped Tony would understand, but he saw the nod of agreement, which he was grateful for.

"Does it look like she is being followed?" Tony asked, he knew why Gibbs was being cautious about the daughter's safety.

"Not that I can see" Pride answered before doing another sweep of the immediate area around Kaplan, whilst trying to remain in shadows himself.

"What's she doing?" Tony asked, he wished they could actually see her!

"She's getting some food, and coffee, I will say that she looks exhausted, she's taking a moment to recharge I would say" Pride answered, as he sipped a coffee himself.

Gibbs shifted focus for a moment "Ashton! Do you have anything?"

"No sir, nothing since that initial signal I'm afraid" Ashton answered, cringing at the look he got in response "I'm trying to boost the receptors to give us a better chance of locating the signal"

"Whatever you have to do to find it!" Gibbs remarked with a stare at the man.

Kelly had sat down right at the back of MTAC, she wanted some space as she'd taken the tablet off her dad & was looking at everything that Agent Le Salle had taken off his hard-drive, this wasn't the easiest thing in the world. She was staring at 2 images of herself, one was a recent headshot she had taken for the firm's website, the other was a photo of herself from the symposium in NOLA.

"When's that one from?" Harry asked quietly, he'd sat down next to her & was looking at the images too. He couldn't believe that her grandfather, Shannon's dad was in fact alive! He was feeling a little dizzy about it, maybe not as dizzy as he felt when he found out Kelly & Shannon were alive, but dizzy all the same!

Kelly took a breath "A symposium I went to in NOLA when I was 21, he was a presenter, I even had a conversation with him. Why wouldn't he have said something? And why did all this come about now? Why…. I'm just not understanding any of this H" she said quietly, there were so many things she wasn't understanding, she couldn't list them all!

Harry put an arm around his friend "don't think anyone is Kells, but we'll figure it all out, we'll find squirt, find your grandfather & get to the bottom of all the why's, we'll do it together Lady LAL."

Being here to support his friend was so important to Harry, having her leave for Naples after only getting the friendship & more to the point his friend back was really tough, he missed her smiling face being mere blocks and minutes away & he'd always promised himself that if she never anything, he'd be there in a flash. She'd gone so many years of having to carry the burden herself, he couldn't let her go anywhere close to that! sure he knew she had her parents, Tim and the others, but he'd always do what he could for her. And as for Phoenix, well, the kid had become like a younger brother to him, so he'd be there for him too! And he would do whatever was required to get him back! He bristled when he heard about him being taken, his dad was looking angry too, but his sister! She was downright terrifying! She was yelling & cursing, and quite literarily shoved him out of the door, he barely had time to say goodbye to his mum!

"Thanks trash can" Kelly remarked as she leaned into him, but she smiled at the person who sat down on her other side "Myles, Harry. Harry, Myles"

"Hey" Myles greeted as he put a comforting hand on his friend's leg.

"Hey" Harry nodded.

Shannon looked up & saw that her girl was sitting in between two people she considered good friends, she was glad for the support her girl had because whatever this situation was, they would all need support. She just squeezed herself into her husband even more, she just didn't want to let go of him at the moment.

Gibbs felt his wife push further into him, he gave her a quick kiss to her cheek "we'll get through this Shan, not leaving your side babe" he like his wife did not want to be separated from her right now, he wasn't sure he could cope if he was.

"They there Pride?" Vance checked, he'd just received a message to say they were.

"The marines have just arrived & are taking Laurel and our cousins back to the embassy Director" Pride answered, he had to admit, he was glad to see the 4 man detail arrive in civilian attire, had they been in uniform it would have given something away. His daughter had gotten a little concerned, as had his cousins, but he assured them it was purely precautionary and wouldn't be for long.

Tony shared a look with Gibbs before speaking "she still in sight? What's she doing?"

Pride felt like slapping the kid, he wouldn't let her out of his sight "she's been walking around the terminal, I think she's still on edge that she could be followed, do you want me to approach her?"

Tony wasn't sure about this, should he approach? He looked to Gibbs for guidance.

Gibbs knew this was a tricky one, either they hung back and watched and she may lead them to wherever she was going, but that meant they wouldn't know what she knew until who knew when. Or they approached & risked setting her off and they'd then not get any information & she might rabbit, or they'd get the information & put her in even more danger than she was in.

"Going to need an answer, looks like she's about ready to head off" Pride remarked, she was edging slowly out of the terminal.

"Your call" Gibbs remarked looking at Tony, he wouldn't make this one.

Tony took a deep breath, he knew the pro's & con's of each decision, but he wanted to get his sister some more protection & knew Pride could take care of not only himself but her too, he was about to speak when someone else did.

"Agent DiNozzo" Lt Col Morris remarked, he'd not have much of an opportunity to speak with the man about his sister thus far, but when the young man looked to him, along with every one else, he spoke again "your sister is no push over, she knows how to take care of herself. I wouldn't bet against her" his Commander was no push over!

That brought Tony some comfort, but still "she might but she's on her own & whoever they are, aren't alone!" he moved closer to the comms "approach her please"

"Here goes" Pride remarked, he'd put an earphone into his ear so he could still hear them & they hear him as he made his move.

Ziva rushed into MTAC "Pride can't approach!" she exclaimed, she just hoped she was in time!

"Pride wait!" Vance, Gibbs & Tony all exclaimed, Ziva had rushed in with Vella hot on her heals.

Pride had been about to approach, he was almost next to her when he heard the call, he quickly pretended to get a call "well hey there baby girl, yea, I'm coming now, be there soon" he ignored her completely as he walked past her & crossed the street.

Gibbs looked between Ziva & Vella "well? Why are we holding off?"

"Uncovered a few more email exchanges of Lancert's boss, they involve someone in Belfast" Vella remarked

"Loch was using the same code he used with the mystery man to exchange with someone in Belfast, it was a warning to watch the airports & bus/train stations for Patricia possibly coming" Ziva continued

"If they're on the lookout for her shouldn't Pride approach, give her a heads up & help get her wherever she's going?" Fornell questioned, if they knew about her going to Belfast shouldn't they give her more protection?

Tony was wondering the same thing.

Ziva took a breath "part of the exchange told the people in Belfast that if they saw anyone approach her that could remotely be military of law enforcement, they were to kill her instantly, along with the approachee"

"Their orders were merely to watch where she goes & only move in, if either someone approaches her, or she goes to a certain location, then they were to try to apprehend her" Vella added

Tony's eyes widened, shit!

"That's presuming those men have found her" Fornell remarked

"Not taking that chance!" Tony exclaimed "Pride can follow & see if they've found her" he turned back to Ziva & Vella "what location?"

"All it said was the place in Castlereagh" Ziva remarked, she could see how much this had affected Tony. She wished she'd been here since hearing about Agent Pride laying eyes on Patricia, but her & Vella had been getting close with these exchanges & she knew getting this information was just as important!

"That's South east" Pride remarked "she's heading off on foot, north west though, its quite densely populated for a fair while, she'll blend into the crowd. I'll follow a way back, I don't think she's being followed but better to safe than sorry" he agreed with Agent DiNozzo, approaching wasn't worth the risk!

Gibbs took a breath "keep sight, we're coming!" he turned to his wife "Patricia's there, probably Phoenix too, if not, we'd be closer to him in Belfast than we would be here" he knew that even if his son wasn't in Belfast, he would be closer to where he would be, and he might be able to get answers from Patricia as to where he was!

Shannon agreed with her husband's logic & gave a nod to show she agreed.

"Your plane ready Major?" Gibbs asked Marcus

"Ready & waiting sir" Marcus nodded

Myles grabbed his cell & texted his Sgt "whole unit to the lobby, we're moving out!"

Tristan agreed with Gibbs, getting them to Belfast was an extremely good starting point, there was going to a tricky point though "I'll keep things going here but who do you want to take?" she asked him, she did flash a look to the Director, but he seemed to busy speak privately with Pride, he really would let them run their teams.

Gibbs considered it, he knew he couldn't take all of the teams, and he had Myles Rangers, along with Fornell, Mike, Vance, Dorneget Ted & Harry. He saw the look in Vella's eyes, he wanted to come, he knew though that those feelings would be mirrored in all of his SSA's "Wu back yet?"

"Here boss" Wu called coming into MTAC "Jonas will be ok, broken leg & arm, cuts & bruises aplenty, he had minor internal bleeding, but they've patched him up"

"Good" Gibbs nodded, glad that his agent would be ok, it'd take time to recover but he'd get there. There was one thing he knew though "Wu, you & your team are to gear up, we're leaving & have Kruse's team gear up too, he's already at the airport so make sure Lovett takes his gear" he knew Wu would be desperate to go given what happened to Jonas & he'd already agreed with him to let him be apart of it.

"Yes Boss" Wu agreed, he was glad to be going.

"Vella, I know you & the others want to come too, but we need people here working the information, we're still going to need leads chased down, and we need bodies here in case anything else comes up" Gibbs said to his SSA, he could see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Yes Boss" Vella nodded, he was disappointed, but he understood the reasoning, and even with only taking 2 teams, there were going to be a hell of a lot of bodies going, considering the Army Rangers unit & the people here from DC. But he a thought "could we maybe get Aymond, Dyson or even Dorneget to stay boss? With all of them going & McGee, we're short of IT guru's"

Gibbs realised he was right, all of them going & Jonas out of action, the IT guru's in the building were greatly diminished, he considered who would be best to stay, but he didn't like breaking up teams like this.

"I'm happy to remain Gibbs" Dorneget stated, he didn't want a team-member remaining behind, he knew that was a tough ask & he could get the job done that was needed.

"Appreciate it" Gibbs nodded "let's go!"

Myles was leading the group out of MTAC, they were finally on the move! He wondered if they could quickly detour via the hospital, he knew though Mike wouldn't hear of it, he'd demand his brother go after Nix first & go see him later, 'I'm not going anywhere' would be his brother's line. He pulled up short though when he got to the top of the stairs "what the fuck?!" he growled.

Kelly had been right next to him and knew where his eyes were focused on, down by the lift was Col Marks & Lt Col Morris, but they were speaking with a third man, she flashed a look to her friend but before she could say anything Marcus spoke.

"Shit!" Marcus groaned

Myles took a breath & looked at his brother "did you?" he snarled.

"NO I did not!" Marcus replied sternly.

Kelly flashed a look between the two brothers before looking to her mum, they were both looking really pissed off that this person was here, she just didn't know why?

Shannon saw her daughter's concern at the way Myles & Marcus had reacted to seeing the latest visitor & she too wondered why it was so bad, but she didn't get a chance to say anything. She watched as Myles threw himself down the stairs, and he didn't even go down all of the stairs, he threw himself over the railing in a rage & went straight for the man. She grew concerned at what he would do, he looked like he would actually get physical with the man.

Marcus saw his brother take off "Myles! Myles don't!" he called giving chase, this wasn't good!

A/N: So they're finally on their way in the hunt to find Phoenix & get to Patricia! Just why is she in Belfast though? And is Phoenix there too? But who on earth has arrived now that's got the Bond boys so rilled up?

Just another plug for my Facebook & fan pages, check them out, there also some more artwork coming!
