"Kate?" Tony asked as he saw the back of her head.
Kate spun around and the smile on her face disappeared, this wasn't what she wanted. She didn't want the chance to open door that she closed so long ago, what seemed like forever.
Abby was talked to the doctor for a few seconds the listen to Tony and Kate with Ducky.
"Abigail, lets give them some space," Ducky said as he offered her his arm, which she very reluctantly accepted. The left to the scientific area of the lab with Dr. Felton, leaving Tony and Kate in her office to talk.
"How have you been?" Kate asked nervously.
"Fine, well apart from being suspended from work and drinking a few to many booze, yourself?" Tony said sarcastically.
"Sorry, I didn't want it to turn out this way," she pleaded, tears forming in her eyes, making them shimmer in the dim light of Abby's dark office.
"How did you think it was going to turn out? I'd go back to my usual ways? I'd just forget about you, Alex and Martin? If you did you have no idea how wrong you are!" Tony shouted.
"I left because I couldn't bare to look at your face, I love you so much Tony that it reminds me of how much I loved them. Then all I think about is the pain that the love caused, the sleepless nights, and the dreams, it was to hard," she screamed in retaliation. Her screams were drowned out as Tony kissed her wet lips, which tasted of salty tears.
As they slowly broke apart he whispered, "just because you loved me didn't mean that you had to leave."
"I know," she whispered as he used his sleeve to wipe the tears of her cheeks and lips.
Tony feeling it was the right thing to do gave her a hug, which she broke out of, "what are we doing Tony?"
"I don't know," he told her quietly.
"Tony I need answers, we can't just make up and go back to life before the kidnapping, can we?"
"Why not?"
"Tony, I've got my job and our house, your house, has to many memories," Kate told him.
"Kate, be serious, we can always move house it's not that difficult," Tony explained.
"Then what? Have more kids?" Kate suggested.
"I… I…don't know," Tony stuttered.
Ducky and Abby came into the room, "something's wrong guys, the secret service is pissed."
They didn't have to wait very long to find out, the secret service along with Gibbs, the director and Ziva arrived very quickly.
"Okay he's here, now tell us what the fuck is going on," Gibbs told the secret service boss.
"Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo?"
"Yeah?" Tony asked as he stepped forward.
"We have reason to believe that you sexually assaulted young Miss Elle," the leader of the secret service told him with a please-explain look.
Gibbs interrupted, "it's not possible, the only places she's been is our interrogation rooms and Ziva's house. She never left Ziva's sight! Right Ziva?"
"Ahh," Ziva stirred, "I went out for a bit over twenty minutes to get milk, I'm sorry Gibbs."
"So Special Agent DiNozzo was alone with Elle for at least twenty minutes?"
"Yes," Ziva answered quietly.
"Why don't you just ask Ellie if anything happened?" Gibbs suggested furiously.
"You know very well she won't speak to any of us, maybe this is why she's taken a shine to your special agent."
Kate then asked her boss, "What evidence is there apart from a means?"
"She tested positive for a sexual assault test, we ran the sample taken and got a match. We also go a DNA test done which is also a match to the Presidents."
The room was silent, as if on cue the power went out locking them in the lab.
"Don't worry the back up generator will boot up in around twenty seconds," Abby reassured them.
But it didn't, none of the phones, including the secret services satellite phones, had reception.
In autopsy McGee was starting to feel nervous standing there in the dark with the bulky secret service agent, who was snapping some glow sticks and checking that Elle and the NCIS special agent were still there.
Suddenly there was a thick puff of smoke which the glow sticks light couldn't penetrate, leaving them in darkness. Two shots were fired, one grazed McGee's ear before he felt something whack him in the back of the head, leaving his unconscious on the floor. He didn't hear anything else as he drifted in and out on consciousness, he tried to call Gibbs but his phone had no reception.
It was a full two minutes before the power came back on. As soon as the power came back on a two pictures appeared on all the screens throughout the building, one of McGee and the secret service agent both unconscious in autopsy, and the other of Ellie Elle in the back of van tied up.
These pictures didn't represent what happened in autopsy well, not very well at all. Three terrorists wearing night vision masks entered NCIS (Haswari was unable to come so he sent others instead), shot the two agents, one in the head and the other in the shoulder. Thankfully they weren't very good shots and missed McGee's head, but they still got the other agents shoulder, the pain and blood loss causing him to lose consciousness. There was another terrorist in a car outside controlling the power gird, cell towers and satellites.
"About time," Ellie told them.
"Our apologies, we were held up by our hackers skills," one of the men apologised. Which was extremely rare of terrorist, showing respect women.
"Well come on get me out of here, before you get caught," she ordered.
"Yes Haswari," the youngest of the bunch addressed her offering his hand, Jason was only twenty-six. Ellie accepted his hand and he led her through the dark building, seeing with his night vision mask.
She hissed in Hebrew and one of the men handed her a handgun. It was less then two minutes from the time the power went out to the time they were all in the three cars outside. One of the terrorists got into the car with the computer geek, another into his own, while Ellie got in the car with Jason.
