Part 12

"I think I found something. I went through the drawers of the desk and found an address in Baltimore. Perhaps Abby can tell us more. But the more important fact was an appointment with her OB/GYN she wrote down on a notepad. It was dated three days ago. And listen to the answering machine." Kate let the machine play.

"Hi Ms. Smith. It's Doctor Moning calling. Seems like you missed your appointment. Well, I would like to see you to make sure you don't need any further treatment after your miscarriage. Call me for a new appointment."

"Well, that's her doctor. And like he told us she had a miscarriage. I think she didn't do well after that, so he gave her some drugs, trying to help her deal with it."

"How could she be pregnant? She doesn't have a boyfriend?" Gibbs asked.

"You don't need a boyfriend to get pregnant. Just a one-night stand at some party, or she went to a clinic."

"Okay, I see your point. Well, that's just one more motive. We need to find her. Let's go back to the lab so Abby can run the address."

"I don't know if you have noticed but it's past midnight. Abby needs her rest just like you and me."

"I know, but the baby." Gibbs said.

"I know, but you will be more useful after a good night's sleep and Abby, too. We will find him, Jethro. But first we should go home and get some sleep."

"Okay, I drop you off at your place."

"Did I say anything about my home? I hoped to stay with you, if it's okay?" Kate smiled.

"Well, I hadn't plan on dropping you off. Okay, let's hit the road."

Arriving at Gibbs house they went straight to bed. It had been a long day and they enjoyed the closeness of each other. They lay down on the bed and snuggled together, holding each other close. It didn't last long until both of them fell asleep.

Kate was waked by an annoying sound. She needed some time to discover the source of it. It was the phone. Gibbs was still asleep and she didn't want to wake him so she just answered it. She had no idea who could be calling at this time. It was just turned 4 am.

"Hello." She said sleepily.

"Kate? Is that you? I actually was calling Gibbs? Did I mess with the numbers?"

"Tony? Why are you calling at 4 in the morning? And you got Gibbs number."

"You are at Gibbs house? What happened? Was he injured and does he need your care?"

"Tony, I'm not in the mood to have any serious talk with you, at least not at 4 in the morning. Why are you calling anyway?"

"I was just worrying about you. I tried both of your cells a couple of times but you didn't answer. What's happening up there?"

"Just a busy case. We need to find a newborn of one of our colleagues. That's all. And that's why I'm at Gibbs house. We worked all night and I was just too tired to drive home so he let me sleep in his guest room. Satisfied?"

"Whose baby?" Tony just asked.

"The son of Special Agent Johnson."

"Aaron. He's a friend of mine. Do you have any leads? I wish I could help you."

"We already know who took the baby. Her name is Angela Smith. She's a former girl friend of his and like we just discovered had a miscarriage some months ago. We need to find her and that will be the difficult part since she's not home and even her parents have no idea about her whereabouts."

"You said Angela Smith? I never thought Angi would do something like that. I met her once or twice with Aaron. They're close friends. I'm sure he knows where she is. Have you asked him?"

"Tony, we're not stupid. That was one of the first things Gibbs did. He doesn't even remember her name. You sure it's the same person."

"Well, I don't know what your Angi looks like but if you could send me a pic, I can try to identify her."

"Okay, I'll have Abby send you a picture of her. Anything else?"

"No, just wanted to know if you were okay. But it seems like a bad time. Make sure you find the little boy for Aaron."

"We'll find him, Tony. And you try to get back home soon, understood."

"You miss me, Kate?" He asked smiling.

"No, just nobody here to annoy. See you soon." Kate put down the receiver. Since it was no use going back to sleep she went to the bathroom to shower. Finished with that she went back to the bedroom to wake up Gibbs.

"Darling, you need to wake up. We have a baby to find." He didn't react until Kate kissed him.

"Morning honey. You already up?" he asked kissing her again.

"Well, someone had to answer your phone. Tony tried to call us all day so finally he tried this one. At four in the morning. And since I was already awake I thought it would be a good idea to start the day. Have breakfast together and then go to work."

"Sounds like a plan. You sit down while I shower and than I make breakfast for you." Gibbs said and went for the bathroom. But Kate didn't wait for him. She looked for the kitchen and searched the cupboards for all the things she would need for breakfast. When Gibbs entered the kitchen, the table was already set and the coffees were ready.

"Honey, I told you to wait. I planned on making breakfast for you. It should be something special for our first morning together at home."

"Well, it's something special for me. I never made breakfast for a guy I spent the night with. Have a seat."

After breakfast they went back to work. Abby was there, too.

"Good you already here, Abbs. We have some new leads we need your help with." Gibbs gave Abby the address Kate had found the day before.

"Abby, I need you to do me a favor. Can you send a picture of Angela Smith to this e-mail account?" Kate gave Abby a slip of paper.

"Sure thing. May I ask why?"

"Perhaps we could get some new leads with that. Thank you Abby."

Kate followed Gibbs out. "Care to tell me what this was about. Who needs the picture?"

"Tony needs it. When he called this morning I told him about the case. He seems to now Special Agent Johnson pretty well and he even knows Angela Smith. Tony had met her in company of Johnson. He is going to identify her as the one he had seen."

"That doesn't make any sense. Johnson told me that he can barely remember her and now Tony tells you they are still in contact. There is more than meets the eye."

A few minutes later Kate's cell was ringing. Tony was calling.

"I just got the picture. That's the Angi I was speaking of." Kate mouthed Gibbs that Tony identified her.

"When was the last time you've seen her together with Johnson?" Kate asked.

"I think about two months ago. They seemed pretty closed. The first time I saw them together I assumed Angi was his wife. But he told me she was just a friend from college. I never believed that."

"You wouldn't know where she could be, do you? We need to find the baby soon."

"I really don't know. But she told me that she loves nature. Wish I could help you more. Keep me updated."

Just the second Kate closed her phone Gibbs was ringing. This time it was Abby calling.

"I located the address. It's a weekend house just outside of Baltimore. And the owner is no one other than Ms. Angela Smith."

"Thanks Abby. See you soon."

Gibbs took Kate's hand and pulled her to the car. "We are going to Baltimore. I'm sure she is there."

About two hours later Gibbs found the house. It was the only one visible and surrounded by nature, nothing else. There was no civilization. When they got near the door they heard a baby crying.

Gibbs took his weapon and knocked on the door. "Ms. Smith?"

Suddenly the crying silenced. Gibbs didn't wait any longer but opened the door. In there on the sofa sat a woman in her early thirties. It was Angela Smith. She was holding the baby in her arms, trying to calm him down.

"Ms. Smith?" Gibbs asked. She didn't react. "Ms. Smith, we need to take the boy to a hospital. He is very ill and will probably die if not taken care of. Do you want that?"

"You can't take my baby. He belongs to me. He's my baby."

"No, he isn't. This little boy belongs to Aaron Johnson and his wife."

"That's me. Aaron married me. So this is my baby."

"Mrs. Johnson, we won't take your baby away. We just need to take him to a hospital. He hasn't eaten in a long time, has he? And he won't stop crying?" Kate said, realizing what this woman was thinking. "You can come with us so you can stay close to him, okay. I promise you it's the best for him."

"Okay." The woman said getting up from the sofa. She looked tired.

"Why don't you give him to me so you can get some rest? I'm sure you need it."

"No, he's mine. I won't give him away." She shouted.

Kate turned to face Gibbs. He was speechless. "She believes she is Johnson's wife and the boy is hers. She doesn't know about his illness. We need to take them to a hospital as soon as possible." Kate whispered. Then she turned back to Angela.

"We will go in our car. There you can sit back and rest. I will take care of your boy. You can trust me. I won't take him away from you. I will sit in the back with you, so the boy is close to you, okay?" Kate asked. The woman didn't answer but started for the car. Gibbs and Kate followed her. Gibbs got into the car in the drivers seat while Kate got to the back to take care of the baby. Reluctantly Angela gave Kate the baby. As soon as Gibbs started the engine Angela was fast asleep.

The baby was still crying. It was obviously he was in pain. Kate tried her best to calm him down. She talked to him in a low voice and she even started to sing some lullabies. They had almost reached the Galilee hospital when the boy cried himself to sleep.

Carefully Kate left the car and went straight to ER. Gibbs had called and announced their arrival. He had called McGee, too. He was going to watch sleeping Angela Smith while the boy had emergency surgery.

Gibbs and Kate waited in the waiting area. "You did great with the baby. I don't think I would have been able to calm him down. I'm not even sure I would have got him and Ms. Smith to the hospital. Good work, Agent Todd."

Kate was irritated by him using her last name. He hadn't done that in the last four weeks. Even before they became a couple he called her Kate. She only was Agent Todd when he was angry with her. She looked at him confused.

"Kate, don't look at me like that. I just told you, you did a great job. I'm not going to fire you."

"But you called me Agent Todd. You haven't done that in months, only when you were angry with Tony or me. Why now?"

"I though telling you about your work and calling you honey wouldn't be that good either. Can you forgive me for calling you Agent Todd without being angry? By the way where did you learn to handle babies that well?"

"I have three married brothers. Each of them has at least one child and Auntie Kate is often called to baby-sit." Kate smiled.

"It definitely suits you. You sure you don't want any children?" He asked getting back to their conversation a few days ago.

"I never said I don't want any children. I just said I didn't plan on having them anytime soon. I think all women want to have a baby in their life. But I can wait." Kate said and saw Gibbs getting pale.

"Well, I take you don't agree with me. You don't need to worry. I don't plan to get pregnant and I can wait. I won't get pregnant without you knowing about it. That I can promise you. Okay."

"Okay, thank you Kate."

Well Kate wasn't very happy with this but Gibbs seemed to be less worried now.

About an hour later McGee called Gibbs. Ms. Smith was finally waking up.

"Where is my baby?" was the first thing she asked.

"The baby is in surgery as we speak. We were just in time. The doctor said if we had come an hour later it could have been too late for him. Why don't we go to my office where you can tell me everything? The doctor will call as soon as the surgery is over."

Gibbs and Kate brought Angela Smith to NCIS. There they put her in an interrogation room.

"Kate will you do the questioning? I think you are the best one for it." Gibbs said and Kate entered the room.

"Ms. Smith?" Kate tried her name again.

"I told you, my name is Angela Johnson. Aaron married me five years ago."

"I know Aaron in married, but his wife's name is Daphne. You are not his wife, do you understand. You were his girlfriend in college but he broke up with you. Do you remember?"

Angela began to cry. "He left me because of her. I loved him and he loved me. I don't know why he left me. We were such a great couple. Everyone kept telling us so. I planned our wedding. It was going to be so beautiful but then he came to my house and told me he fell in love with someone else. That he couldn't see me again because of her. I felt so alone. I hated him for doing this."

"What happened then?" Kate asked trying to keep her talking.

"He married that other woman. I don't like her; she isn't good enough for him. Nobody is good enough for him but me. I never let him out of my sight. I needed to make sure he was okay. Waiting for a moment that he would need me."

"And you got that moment, didn't you?"

"Oh yeah. He had a terrible fight with her. She wanted to get a divorce. He moved out of their home. That was my chance. I followed him to a bar where he was getting drunk. I just came in and talked to him, pretending to help him. I offered to let him stay at my house, which he accepted. It was just like I had planned. Finally we where together. I didn't matter to me that he was still married since she was ready to get a divorce. It was just a matter of time until he would ask me to marry him. I was so happy."

"But it didn't last long, did it?"

"No, they got back together, forgetting the divorce. But I got more. I was pregnant with his child."

Kate was surprised. "How long ago did that take place?"

"Eight months ago." Angela started to cry.

"His wife was pregnant at that point, too."

"That's the reason they got back together. For the child's sake. I told him about the pregnancy. He told me to have an abortion. I told him no. Three weeks later I had a miscarriage while his wife was still pregnant. I hated her for that."

"You didn't do well after you lost the baby. Your doctor gave you some drugs?" Kate asked again getting a clear picture about the whole situation.

"Yeah, it helped the first few weeks but after I ran out of them I felt worse than before. I really believed Aaron was married to me. We stayed in contact after I told him about my miscarriage. We became close friends and I really believed he was in love with me. When I heard that his wife had given birth to their son I thought that was my chance to get my baby."

"I know how you feel. You just wanted something that you couldn't have."

"Yeah, I didn't know the baby was ill. He is going to be okay, isn't he?" Angela was crying. Sure thing was that she was unstable.

"The doctor told us so. Why don't you see a doctor yourself? I'm sure they can help you. Will you wait for a minute? I need to talk to my superior."

Kate went outside where Gibbs had listened to the whole conversation. "She needs a doctor. She has some serious mental problems."

"Okay, I'll have her taken to a clinic. The hospital called, the boy is out of surgery but it is too soon to tell more."
