She wasn't sure how much time had passed since he had locked her up in here. All she knew was that she was starting to get scared. Since he initially revealed to her who he was and she had spat in his face, he had shut the door and locked her in this small space and he hadn't come back.

Breathing in deep through her nose, she stopped mid-breath. That wasn't…no it…it couldn't be…

Sniffing the air again, she realized it was true. She smelled smoke. She started to try and break herself free 'cause she'd be damned if she let herself burn to death and die in here.

Upstairs…

Adam could hear the sirens. Looking out the window, he saw two cars come racing down the street.

'To hell with this' he thought. If his daughter didn't want him, which she already proven earlier, he sure as hell wasn't gonna hand her over to these cops. Luckily for him, he had planned for this. Lining the house, not to mention the basement, with lots of gasoline and fire starter, he pulled out his lighter and a gun.

Then outside he heard them. "Adam Parks, NCIS! Open up!" Bending down and setting off the first trail of flames, he quickly threw his lighter towards the basement and took off out the back.

Outside…

Ziva saw Adam try and cut through his back yard. "Gibbs, he went out the back!" She told him before taking off after him. Dodging bullets that were fired, she and Tony chased after the kidnapper.

"Boss do you smell that?" McGee asked Gibbs. Gibbs sniffed the air before hearing something and dove off the porch taking McGee with him. Just as they hit the ground, fire and smoke exploded out the front and side downstairs windows.

Scrambling off the front lawn as soon as the initial blast had subsided, they made it to the curb by the cars. McGee looked back towards the house. "Boss, that fire's spreading pretty fast."

"The fire department is on their way McGee." Gibbs said.

"Boss, Amy's still in there."

"McGee-

"AMY!" McGee yelled, trying to get Amy to hear him and find her way out. Not hearing anything, he turned to Gibbs and said, "She's not answering."

"McGee- Gibbs could hear the fire trucks in the distance.

"I'm going in after her." He tried to run inside, but was stopped by Gibbs.

"Boss-

"I'll go in." He said and then ran inside. Crashing through the front door, he pulled a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and used it to cover his mouth. Coughing a few time as the smoke thickened, he looked around. He knew he had to be quick. Following his gut, he headed towards the basement.

In the basement…

Heat was filling the small space and the bits of smoke weren't too far behind. She was making no luck with the restraints. Then she thought…yeah it was them…

"Amy!"

They had found her. The gag was still in her mouth, but she did her best to make some kind of noise to alert that person to her location. Screaming around her gag, she inhaled some of the smoke making her cough. Her eyes started to burn and water. Closing them and coughing some more, suddenly someone was cutting the restraints that had tied her to the metal pole and taking her out of the smoke filled house.

Gibbs POV

Running down the basement stairs, he looked around the basement. He couldn't see her. Removing the cloth from his mouth for a brief moment he called out her name.

"Amy!"

Hearing a scream and then some coughing coming from his left side, he went over to the wall and saw a padlock on a small trap door. Breaking the lock he saw her. Reaching in, he noticed she was tied with rope. Pulling out his knife, he quickly cut the rope and lifted her in his arms before running back up the stairs and out of the house.

3rd person POV

McGee, seeing his boss exit the house with Amy in his arms, ran over to them. "You both okay?"

Before either one could answer they were immediately taken aside by paramedics. As they were both given oxygen and treated for smoke inhalation, (Gibbs under protest of course) and Amy treated for rope burns, McGee came over.

"You guys okay?"

Gibbs said he was, while Amy just nodded, still a little scared. McGee gave the girl a hug which she returned. Then the fun part began. Just as the EMT's gave Amy the all-clear, her social worker showed up.

"What the hell happened?"

"Who are you?" Tim asked the lady.

"I'm Amy's social worker," she said. Gibbs glared at her. Just then Tony and Ziva came over. "Adam Parks is in custody Boss," said Tony.

"Parks? Amy's father?" The social worker questioned.

"Yeah, he kidnapped Amy and tried to kill her by burning the house down with her inside. Not to mention he murdered Samuel Eaton and Samuel's wife Amanda was abusing Amy." Gibbs spat out in rage.

"I'm so sorry-

"Agent Gibbs. NCIS."

"Agent Gibbs, I'm so sorry. I've been on maternity leave. No one told me about any of this."

"I'm okay Ms. Sharp." Amy said from the back of the ambulance. She wasn't mad at her.

"Still, none of this should have happened Amy." Ms. Sharp said to the teenage girl. She knew a lot of social workers didn't care too much about the kids on their case load, but she did her very best to avoid these kinds of situations. "Luckily I've got some good news. A family in Richmond is interested in adopting you."

Stepping out of the ambulance, she looked at the NCIS team who had saved her. "Congratulations squirt," Tony said. The rest of the team was happy as well. She hugged McGee saying, "Thanks for everything." Then she hugged Gibbs and said, "Thanks for saving me."

Then turning away, she went with her social worker to meet her new family.
