Off The Hook

Chapter 6

Bishop and Torres were able to find a way into the second construction site building without alarming who is actually holding Phineas.

"Be careful Elle, we can't be alarming them in order to hurt Phineas further."Torres will say with anger in his gut after what has happened to Gibbs now hopefully in the hospital.

Moving inside further with the darkness of being inside. Elle pulled out her small flashlight in order to see where she was going as with Nick. The both of them started to move inward with the different rooms of the building.

There was a squeaky type of noise having to be a rat roaming around looking for food to give Torres the creeps. Tough Bishop was shaking her head at her future husband holding the flashlight and weapon in the other hand.

They needed to check every room until finally, they heard voices down the hall. "I think he might there Nick." Bishop will say with her curiosity on full alert.

"Let's move now." Nick will order with his instincts needing to go now and rescue the young boy and take him to the hospital for any news on Gibbs.

Inside the room at the end of the hallway.

Phineas had finished his food awhile ago and asked the guard that he wanted a glass of water with his mouth dry. "Look buster I can't always be running errands for you. Since you have been abducted." The young man with his weapon in the corner gets up to make sure that his wrists and legs are still tied tight.

He walks out of the room by opening the door to head upstairs to the second floor and the small frig with cold water and brings it back down to the kid.

However, he didn't have a chance when Nick knocked him down to the ground before Bishop pointed her gun at him. "Don't move buster while we check on the young boy Phineas." Bishop had Nick place the cuffs and his wrists behind his back before moving to check on Phineas.

Inside Phineas' face had lit up to see Bishop coming inside with a smile on her face. Nick called out that the idiot was secured with the cuffs.

"Phineas how in the world did you get into this predictable?" She had to ask with removing the ropes from his wrists and ankles even though hurting a little from the ropes cutting into his skin.

"I really don't know Agent Bishop other than the fact that someone had claimed to be friends of Uncle George and Mickey to bring me home from the ball field after practice. And before I knew it I was placed with a bag over my head and having been knocked out with a needle in my arm."

"We are glad you're alright Phineas. A lot of people are worried about you for the most part have found you at the construction site after we had gotten a trace on Special Agent Gibbs phone."

Looking around for his friend Jethro Gibbs and seeing nowhere to be seen. "Where is Jethro Gibbs by the way Agent Bishop?"

She was horrified at looking over at Nick with a pained expression on her face. "I am sorry Phineas, Agent Gibbs has been shot twice here at the construction site looking for you having to be a trap. He was taken to the hospital in an ambulance in bad shape." She cried out with her words while Torres came over to console her.

"Phineas he will need all of the support he can get and a pray from all of us. Come on let's get out of here with the suspect and drop him off at NCIS processing for interrogation." Nick replied with hearing the voice of Director Leon Vance and other agents arriving at the site and this particular building.

They came out of the building with Nick pushing the young suspect cursing in Spanish. Meanwhile, Vance came over with his own gun with Torres yelling...

"Any word on Gibbs condition?" Nick was worried for his boss and adopted father for the past four years.

"Nothing yet Nick. I will take the suspect back to NCIS and get him into the interrogation. While you three head for the hospital at Bethesda." He made the announcement with the other agents to investigate the building further for evidence.
