I know you're all eager to get to the conversation between Gibbs & Jack... so here we go!

Gibbs just waited as the phone rang & rang, he checked his watch 04:30, from memory his dad usually got up at 05:00 to be at the store for opening at 06:00 & his dad always kept the phone by his bed, so where was he? Then he heard it.

"Heelllooo" a very groggy, tired Jack answered the phone.

Gibbs swallowed, how could he say hi? He hadn't spoken to his dad since...

"Hello, is anyone there?" Jack asked a bit more awake, but nothing "if you don't say something, I'm going to.."

Gibbs mustered is courage up "Hi... Jack"

Jack got the fright on his life "Leroy?" he hadn't heard from his son in so many years, not since the funeral for his poor girls, so why on earth was he calling now & at this hour?

"Ahh... yea" Gibbs got out.

Jack really didn't know what to say, but it was the middle of the night "something I can do for you at this hour of the morning?'

Gibbs took a breath, straight to the point, he could do that? Couldn't he? Still, how to tell him? "Ahh, yea. I need a favour, but I need to tell you something first, are you sitting down?"

"Leroy I'm in bed!" Jack replied, but he couldn't help but wonder why his son was asking him for a favour after all these years.

"Right" Gibbs said "you see... the thing is..." gosh, how does say this? How did his little girl tell her brother? "ahh..."

Jack had no idea why his son was stuttering, his son never stuttered, it was always to the point "just say it"

"Shannon&Kellyarealive" Gibbs said extremely quickly, there he said it, he just waited for the reaction.

Jack was stunned "I'm sorry? could you repeat that? It sounded as though you said... "

"They're alive, my wife, my daughter, your daughter-in-law, your granddaughter, they're alive" Gibbs repeated a little slower.

Jack was really confused "Son, I don't think... that's just not... possible"

"Gimme a sec" Gibbs said closing his eyes for a split second, he looked over to his girl & beckoned her over, he whispered into her ear "say hi to gramps"

Kelly shook her head, she was way too nervous for that.

Gibbs sighed but didn't want to push her "They're alive, I'm holding your granddaughter in my arms as we speak"

"Th...ey'...re a...li...ve?" Jack stuttered.

Kelly heard her grandfather's voice & changed her mind "Hi gramps!" she called.

Gibbs smiled down at her & pressed a kiss against her forehead.

"Ke...lly" Jack choked out.

Gibbs smiled, in any other situation he would have passed her the phone, but they had to get going "That's her, this isn't a dream" he covered the mouth piece "take you & him (motioning to Nix) to the bathroom & let Buster go too, we'll then get going"

Kelly nodded & headed off.

"Leroy? What is going on?" Jack asked, he was really confused!

"It's a long story & I don't have a lot of time." Gibbs said "bullet points are that we were right to have never liked Mac, he... he stole them from us, from me!... He took them from me dad!" he finished, finally letting emotions get the better of him.

Jack was now fully awake, he could hear the pain & emotion in his son's voice & he'd called him dad! That was saying something "what do you mean stole Jethro?" he never did like the man.

"Like I said, long story, but he used that accident to basically kidnap them & he moved them to Houston" Gibbs said "I don't have time for more details" he could feel himself choking up with emotions, but he didn't have time for it, he pushed it all back down.

"Ok, so what do you need?" Jack asked, his heart was breaking just as he welled up with fury at the same time & he didn't even know the full story.

"Kells found me yesterday morning here, but Shannon was still in Houston with him. Ted Taylor was over in Houston, by the time he got to Mac's place, they were all gone. Turned out Shannon had managed to get away from him, she's been making her way back here all day & night, we think though we know where's she's headed... she's coming to Stillwater" Gibbs quickly explained.

That propelled Jack into action, he started to make a move to get out of bed "when will she get here? How's she coming in? What about him?"

"We think she's about 3-4 hours out, she's been hitching rides with trucks most of the way, so maybe another truck, maybe a bus, car, not sure. We've gotten some of Mac's men who'd been chasing her, but still haven't found him, he could be on her trail too. Ted & his SWAT Team are about half hour behind her, he's been trying to catch her all the way from Houston. We've also got a few other SWAT teams not far behind them. We're about to leave, be there as soon as I can" Gibbs got out as much intel as he knew.

Jack started to try to work it out "Ok, do you think she'll come to the store or..."

"Store, it's on the main street, she'll probably try to stay out in the open as much as possible" Gibbs replied interrupting him, if she'd try to get to his dad's place, that would take her a few streets back & into residential area, much less foot traffic, maybe she'd count on someone recognising her? Though given everyone thought she was dead.. maybe not.

"Ok, I'll let the Sherif know and..." Jack started to say but got interrupted again.

"No!" Gibbs said interrupting him.

"Why not?" Jack asked.

"Mac's got numerous people in various agency's on his payroll. We need to keep this off the record & off the radio transmission. If he gets a whiff that she may be heading towards Stillwater it could spur him into something." Gibbs explained, he had to keep this under the radar, had to keep her safe "just get to the store, make a sweep of the area & keep a look out" he added.

"Ok, I won't mention a word to a soul, I'll make sure to keep watch, she turns up & I'll get her safe & sound" Jack replied, the way his son had said it, it was obviously very important to keep it off the radar. He would do what ever he could to get that dear girl safe & back to his son.

"Thanks" Gibbs replied, he looked the garage over, his entire team, plus Harry, Fornell & the Director we're all geared up & just waiting for him, he'd seen that Tony had gotten each of kids into bullet proof vest, he had feel proud that his SFA had done that without even being asked.

"Ahh dad, one more thing" Gibbs said, his eyes falling to his son.

"What?" Jack said, he wasn't sure he could take much more.

Again, Gibbs wasn't sure how to say it... he'd just have to say it "you've... you've got... you've got a grandson" he finally got out.

Jack's jaw dropped "I beg your pardon?"

Gibbs smiled "You've got a grandson, he's name's Phoenix, Phoenix Leroy... he's,... well, you'll see"

Jack really didn't know what to say "ahhhh..."

"Look I know you're shocked at everything, but I have to get going, so I'll see you soon" Gibbs said, he knew his dad was shocked, but he didn't have a second to spare.

Jack came out of his shock "right, I look forward to meeting him & to seeing Kelly...and you Jethro" he was looking forward to seeing his son, it had been so very long, but still grandson? Where on earth did he come from?

"They are too... and so am I" Gibbs finally finished, thinking of something again "and dad, if you see..."

"Jethro, if I see MacDonald, he will feel the back of my hand before he even feels the front of my fist, my Winchester isn't good enough for that man" Jack interrupted him.

Gibbs smirked "it might not be good enough, but make sure it's ready none the less. Don't take chances dad, he's got at least one security man with him"

"Leroy, the way I am feeling at the moment, the almighty wouldn't be enough to stop me!" Jack replied, his son was right though, the first thing he'd do when he got to the store was get the rifle loaded & primed. The more he thought about it all, the more anger & hatred he was feeling towards to the man, he honestly didn't know how his son was holding it together, he took a deep breath "Don't drive recklessly Jethro, just get yourself & the kids here safely, I will make sure Shannon is ok & get her as soon as she gets here, the last thing we need is for something to happen to you all while you're driving up"

Gibbs knew his dad was right, like his dad he took a deep breath trying to calm himself down again "Will do, I'll get Ted to call you with his ETA, hopefully he's able to make up more time & get there quickly"

"I'll be at the store in 20" Jack replied, he remembered the Taylor's & Ted being with SWAT.

"Ok, bye" Gibbs said.

Jack hung up with his son & took a moment to gather himself, when he first answered the phone it thought it was one of the delivery trucks saying they were running early or maybe a wrong number, he never would have imagined it would have been his son, let alone hear the story he'd just heard, not only were those sweet girls alive, but he somehow had a grandson too, and it seemed it was thanks to that bastard of man, his son was right, he never liked MacDonald Fielding.

Jack put the phone back & headed straight for the bathroom, he would quickly get himself sorted & over to the store, he needed to get eyes on the main street. If his son was right & he usually was, she'd make a beeline straight for the store & he had to be there, he wouldn't let anything happen to her, especially at the hands of that man!

"You ok dad?" Kelly asked as she saw him heading back.

"Yea angel, I am" Gibbs replied, he smiled loving that she was well & truly back to calling him dad "Gramps will be at the store in 20, he'll keep a look out for mum, he'll find her & keep her safe"

"Did you tell him about me?" Nix whispered.

"You know it isn't easy to make your grandfather lost for words, but when I told him about you, he just had nothing to say" Gibbs finished with a smile "I'm hoping though he doesn't have a heart attack when he sees you"

Nix liked that "good thing we know CPR"

Gibbs had to smile at that "yea pal, that's a good thing" he turned to the others, he now saw that Fornell had some of his men with him as well.

Jenn looked everyone over, Fornell had 2 of his men with him, there was the team, Harry, she'd also had Ducky kitted out, just a feeling, she'd hoped she was wrong but thought better to be safe than sorry, he had brought his bag & some supplies. "How do you want load up?" she asked Gibbs.

"Duck, you go with Fornell & his team. Harry, can you ride with the team? Director, could come with us?" Gibbs answered.

"Yes Gibbs" Harry replied.

"Of course" Ducky & Jenn replied.

"You remember the store Harry?" Gibbs asked.

Harry smiled "I do, I prefer the rear entry though... freezer room" he finished with a small grin towards Kelly.

"Cellar's pretty cool too" Kelly chimed in, with a smirk.

Gibbs had to chuckle, the trouble these two found themselves in up there, but he had to impressed at their memories "I'm glad, try to use the memories to not get yourselves lost" he said looking at Harry, before turning to Tony "get him a rifle & ammo, he can manage it"

Tony nodded "yes boss"

"Abs, stay on everything, call if you get anything, and I mean anything" Gibbs said to her, he turned "Palmer! Stay will Abby, keep her caffeinated"

"Yes Gibbs" Jimmy replied.

Jenn approached the car she'd be driving in, knowing Gibbs was going to drive she headed for the front passenger seat, but got stopped.

"Director, I need you to sit in the back seat please" Gibbs asked, he turned "Phoenix, this side behind me, put Buster in the middle between you & the Director" he wanted him & Jenn positioned strategically so they were on each side of the car.

Jenn watched as Nix hopped in as instructed, she also watched Kelly get into the front, she was curious, she would have thought his protective nature would see him put both kids in the back, she though got in as requested. She cottoned on quickly as to why, she saw Kelly swallowing 2 tablets, she knew what they were, Gibbs never went anywhere without them, and her suspicions were further confirmed at the next exchange.

"You're not going to be sick in my car young lady are you?" Gibbs asked with a smile.

"No dad" Kelly smiled.

Gibbs nodded & with that, they were off, he knew this would be a balancing act, he had to drive as quickly as possible but he also had to make sure he didn't make his girl sick, that would help any part of the cause. He just prayed they'd get there in time, prayed that Ted would catch up, maybe even beat her there, she'd recognise him. He knew that even though it had been 13 years since he'd spoken with his dad, that he could trust that he would do whatever was required, he just had to get there... he wasn't there back then to help, this time he was here, he had to make it count!

A/N: That was a little awkward to start with, Jack was more than stunned but he will do all he can to get Shannon when she gets into town.

The big question is can Gibbs get there in time? Will they get there safely or will trouble find them on the way?

More up soon, I know you all know this, but I love hearing your thoughts, so review away!
