Mega-Kari in this chapter because I am missing it recently! Jack and Sophia are really mature for their age, I know. Review please!
Kate and Ari were driving through the Virginia streets on their way to NCIS. Jack and Sophia were still sleeping at the hotel with Tali watching them. Jenny still hadn't returned from trying to find Lexie Jo.
"What are you going to do about Michael?" Kate asked as she turned to look at Ari, who was driving.
"Shoot him."
"Just shoot him?"
"After I torture him."
"That's more like it."
--
Ziva, Tony, and Michael ran into the squad room together. Gibbs looked up from the three kids and stared at Ziva.
"Nothing surprises me anymore." Gibbs smiled as he stood up. Abigail went up and hugged Ziva's legs.
"Auntie Zi!"
"Abigail, do you know where Jack and Sophia are?"
Abigail shook her head as she went back to sit with her brother. Ziva straightened back up and stood with Tony and Michael. The elevator pinged and everyone turned to stare at the two angry people that stepped out.
--
"You bastard!" Ari shouted at Michael as Kate threw him up against the wall. Everyone had stopped talking and was staring as the two people that were supposed to be dead attacked Michael Azulai.
"Those kids are not yours!" Ari beat Michael with his fists.
"You almost you killed her last time! You deserve to die!" Kate hissed as she cocked her gun and aimed it at Michael's head. By this point, every single person in the building was staring. No one was stopping them either, probably because they were supposed to be dead most likely. Kate jammed her gun against Michael's temple.
Ziva ran up to them, "What do you think you are doing?"
"He has been hitting Jack, and he almost killed Sophia! And apparently you can't do such a good job at being a mother and listen to yor kids." Kate spat at her
"You have no place to be telling me whether I am a good mother or not! You left your kids with SOMEONE else's nanny!" Ziva yelled back.
Ari stepped in between the women, while still holding on to Michael, "Ladies! Stop it!" Kate turned away from Ziva.
"Mommy?" A quiet, nervous voice asked from behind the group of adults. Kate turned to the source of the voice, Abigail.
"Abby…" Kate trailed off as the little girl flew towards Kate's legs. Kate bent down and scooped her up as Ari went over and picked up Isaac.
"Excuse me." Kate bit at Ziva as she and Ari left the building.
"Did everyone else see that too?" Tony asked.
~*~*~*~
Jenny threw the hotel room door open as she cursed under her breath.
"I guess it did not go too well?" Tali asked from the chair next to the bed. Jenny was about to speak when she noticed the two little kids lying in the bed, sleeping. Jenny raised an eyebrow at Tali.
"Jack Timothy DiNozzo. Sophia Jennifer DiNozzo. They were born before Ziva found out you were still alive. They ran away because the Mossad Officer living with them, Michael Azulai, was abusing them. Kate and Ari are most likely at NCIS right now attacking him."
"Attacking?"
"You could tell yourself they are peacefully confronting him if it makes you feel better. What happened with LJ?"
"Frances died. No one knows where LJ went. I don't know where my daughter is!"
"I'm sure she is where Abigail and Isaac are."
"I know that…I just hope she is okay."
--
Kate and Ari knew it probably wasn't safe to be sitting in the middle of a park while they were on a mission, but they hadn't seen their kids in two months. Ari had his arm around Kate, who was holding Isaac. Abigail was sitting on Ari's lap.
"I missed them."
"Me too, Caitlin."
"Ziva's right."
"Caitlin, she is not right. You know that. She was not listening to her children and she is suffering the consequences of that enough. We knew we may have to leave our two behind when we went on missions, but they are fine children, with an even finer mother."
"I love you Ari."
"I am sorry I had to fake kill you."
"We have been over this Ari. I feel bad for putting fake bullets in Ziva's gun when she wasn't looking, and for making you ruin your hair with the fake blood."
"Do you want to go get lunch Abigail?" Ari ruffled his daughter's hair.
"Yes Daddy."
--
"What were they talking about, Michael?" Ziva asked as she pulled Michael into the bathroom to wash his cuts.
"Nothing."
"Michael, did you hit my kids?" Ziva stopped dabbing at his face and gave him an accusatory glare.
"They are my kids too, Zi."
"No, they are not. They are Tony's." Ziva stared him straight in the eye. "Even if they were your children, that does not give you the right to lay a hand on them."
"They aren't my kids?" Michael pulled his gun.
"Michael, what are you doing?" Ziva backed up towards the door.
"You lied to me!" Michael shouted. Ziva turned to run, but Michael grabbed her arm and held the gun up to her temple. "You are either going to give me the children or you will die and they will become mine as well."
"I do not know where they are, Michael. And if I did, you would NEVER be allowed to have them." Ziva felt herself being pushed out towards the squad room.
--
Tony looked up when the bathroom door opened. Ziva came out with Michael holding a gun up to her head. Gibbs and Tony grabbed their guns and stood up.
"Come closer with those and she dies." Michael yelled without looking at them.
"You aren't going to be able to leave this building, Michael!" Tony yelled back.
"Try and stop me, Agent DiNozzo!" Michael hollered back. When Michael turned to enter the elevator, Gibbs took him out with a clean shot. Ziva continued into the elevator. Tony holstered his gun as he ran into the elevator with her.
"Ziva…" Tony trailed off as he noticed her crying.
"They told me Tony. I did not believe them. This is my fault." Tony hit the emergency stop button and wrapped his arms around her.
"This isn't your fault, Ziva. This is his fault."
"I still do not know where they are, Tony."
"We'll find them, I promise."
Review! Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I wrote this one over a period of two days as well.
