AN/ I leave the body's up to your imagination, mainly because I have NO idea how a body who as been buried for seven years and more looks like.

Also, thanks for the amazing reviews, I know I usually don't write a thank you but that's more because I forget then anything else :P

Chapter six

A week passed by and Tony had proposed to Gibbs to come and stay in his apartment since Gibbs' house was now a scene if crime. The search for Bobrov and Arkadi was hard, there were no clues, no ideas for where to search. Tony was starting to lose hope in it all but he kept fighting, he wanted and needed to find them.

Monday arrived and Gibbs and Tony were cleared for active duty, Tony had a few ideas as where they could check for signs from Arkadi and Bobrov.

'I know a few hideouts where they could be, they loved those safe houses and would never give them up for anything', he said.

'Why didn't you tell us while on sick leave?', McGee asked a little angry.

'Because, Elflord, you guys would have gone without me and there is no way in hell that's going to happen.'

'You should have told us!'

'But I didn't, so deal with it.' He really didn't want to snap like that to McGee but he really isn't in the mood for a fight with him.

'Where are those safe houses?', Ziva interrupted them.

'They're spread over, some are in Philly, some in Baltimore but some are in DC. Let's check DC first, then Baltimore and as last Philly.'

'I think it's better to start in Philly and end here, or else you keep having road trips, this way we just stay over in a hotel.', McGee said.

'Normally you would be right but not in this case, their most favorite safe houses are in DC, now I don't think they would take those because that would be obvious but that could also mean that they would take them just because it's obvious.'

'To keep you off track?', Gibbs asked.

'Yeah, I'm not sure they'll still be there but maybe we'll find some clues.'

'How many safe houses in DC?', Ziva asks.

'Two that I know of, the raids have to take place on the same time, if we bust into one safe house and it turns up empty they'll know it in the other if they are there.'

'Yeah, but if they are both empty they'll still know it.'

'No, the systems are a matching set, however they don't reach as far as Baltimore and Philly, the distance is to big.'

'You said yourself, you only know of two safe houses, what makes you think you know of all of them, plus, they know you screwed them, they won't uses those safe houses', McGee said. He didn't think that Tony's plan would work, hell, he didn't think Tony should be working this case, he's to close!

'Because. McKnowitall, those guys want me to hurt, it's a game for them, the chase, the scaring, all of it, and even by taking away their safe houses we strike, we lour them out, now I want to know, can you follow my orders or are you going to question every single thing I say and order?'

'I just wonder if you should be working this case, it's to close to you.'

'Tell me, your close to your sister, right?'

'Leave her out of it!'

'YES, you are close to her, if those bastards killed them, would you chase them to hell if it would give you vengeance?'

'Of course I would! She's my sister!'

'They were my family! My wife and daughter! Do you know that we expected that she was pregnant again? That before we left for the park we did a pregnancy test?' McGee now as pale as some of the body's down in autopsy was overwhelmed by Tony's rage. He hadn't known they might have been pregnant again, how could he?

'Was she?', Ziva asked softly.

'I never checked, never wanted to know, it didn't matter at that point, everyone I cared for were gone', he said, never breaking away from staring at McGee. He hates that he loses control so quickly but he can't help it. McGee has a point, normally when an agent is this close to a case he gets hold back from the case since judgment gets clouded. However, when death of family is involved no agent is stupid enough to hold the agent who lost them back, knowing they would want in on the investigation to.

The phone on Gibbs' desk rang and Gibbs answered.

'Gibbs,' he said shortly 'Right,' he hang up and turned to McGee. 'Gas the car and wait for Tony and me,' he turns to Tony and nods to the elevator. 'We have to sign for a package, do you know anything about it?'

'No, Ziva, call Abby and tell her to meet us at the reception, tell her we have two unidentified packages.' Ziva nods and grabs her phone, calling Abby.

Tony and Gibbs arrive at the reception counter, a minute later Abby joins them. Since Tony's bout with the plague, all unidentified mail has to go through Abby before opening, nobody wanted something like that to happen again.

Abby checked with a Geiger Counter for radiation but didn't find anything.

'We could let Ducky do an X-ray, maybe we'll see more then.', she said.

'The boxes are big and heavy, get a trolley to move them.', Tony orders. Abby gives a nod and leaves to prepare. Gibbs is already on the phone, calling Ducky.

'I have a bad feeling about this Gibbs', Tony said.

'Me to, something is going on and I want to know what!'

Abby returns with the trolley and heaves one of the boxes on it before leaving with it. Tony and Gibbs wait for her to return for the second one when she does and leaves Gibbs stops Tony from going after her.

'Tony, you know they'll do anything to hurt you right? That they'll use the people you love against you however they see fit.'

'I know Gibbs.'

'Don't push us away once they do, we want to help you and are prepared for the risks, it's not up to you to protect us, we know what we're in for.'

'I know Gibbs, I just don't want to see you guys get hurt...'

'The same goes for us Tony, we don't want to see you get hurt, so don't do anything stupid like going off on your own, you told me once that I really should watch Moby Dick when I went after Ari, keep that movie in you head because the wail will destroy you and not think twice about it.'

'That's really strong coming from you, boss.'

'Do as I say, not as I do Tony.' Tony gave a nod and they walked to autopsy.

'Found anything yet Duck?', Gibbs asks when they walk in.

'Jethro, I just finished and I can say for certain that in both boxes lays a body.'

'A body?', Tony asks.

'Yes, in the biggest box I can say with certain, lays a child, I can't say more,the decomposition is to far, this body has been dead for a long time', he says.

'And in the smaller one?', Tony asks, getting a very bad feeling. One look at Gibbs and he can see that he ain't the only one.

'Also a female, only much younger, a child...a big toddler or a big preschooler.' At the word Tony pales.

'Have you opened the boxes yet?', he asks, his voice not more then a whisper.

'No, not yet, I will do so now.' Ducky walks over to the biggest box and cuts it slowly open. Bones appear, you can tell they have been there for a long time.

'Oh dear,' Ducky says. 'The cause of death here was blunt force trauma and I can say for sure that this is a Jane Doe.' A very pale Gibbs nods.

'And the other?', he asks, shaking on his feet. Ducky walks over to the second table and just when Gibbs turns he can see a picture. He reaches out to the picture and takes it in his hand. He looks at is and doesn't hear Ducky calling for him.

Tony walks over to his boss and places a gentle hand on his shoulder.

'Boss?', he asks.

'How...how could they...', Gibbs whispers.

'It's her...isn't it?', Tony asks. Tears well up in Gibbs' eyes and he nods.

'Kelly...' He shows Tony the picture. Tony gets a sick feeling when he watches the picture and then the body.

'Then that body...' Ducky cuts open the box.

'Shot...in the throat... a girl.', Tony says with a broken voice.

'That's right Anthony, how do you...oh dear.' Tony looks at he autopsy table and if it wasn't for Gibbs who caught him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

'I take it that this is Kiara.', Ducky says.'

'Yeah...t...t..they dug her up...' Tears fall freely and he doesn't try to cover them up. All he can see is his baby girl, exposed and disturbed in her rest, taken away from her mother!

'But who is our Jane Doe over there?'

'Kelly,' Gibbs whispers in a hoarse voice. 'My daughter.'
