AN/ Does someone know the first name of Balboa? (yes he'll make an appearance again but I just like the guy). Also, sorry for the delay, from next week on I don't know how much I'll be posting since my break will be over. But I won't abandon these story's (Personally I hate it when people abandon story's I'm enjoying).

Chapter seven

McGee sat at his desk. He had heard what had happened, that Tony's daughter had been dug up. Tony and Gibbs' daughter. He didn't even know he had a daughter!

Flashback:

McGee's cell rang and he picked up.

'Special...'

'McGee, plans have changed, come with Ziva back to the bullpen. Those Russian bastards have send us...to boxes'

'What's in it?'

'You'll hear once you com back to the bullpen.' Then Gibbs had hung up.

'Ziva, we have to come back to the bullpen, something has happened.'

'What?', she asks as she steps out of the car.

'Not sure, Gibbs said that Bobrov and Arkadi send them something, he sounded kinda lost...' After McGee had spoken the words they both started to worry and hurried to the bullpen.

'Boss?', he asked.

'Sit down guys', Tony whispers.

'Why, what is going on?' Ziva didn't like how both men look and didn't like how beat, tired and lost Tony sounded.

'They dug up Kiara...put her in a box and sent her here for me to find...they dug up my baby girl...' Tears were streaming freely over his cheeks, normally he would never ever let his coworkers see him like this but it was just becoming to much for him. Reliving the moment where he lost them, seeing his baby girl dug up like that. One look at Gibbs and he knew that the older man was in maybe even worse shape. He looks pale and ready to collapse.

'What was in the second box?', McGee asks.

'My daughter McGee...' McGee and Ziva looked with wide eyes and open mouths to him. Gibbs was joking...Right? They how could they not have known he had a daughter, yes he has three ex wifes but never had children with them...right?

'Her name is Kelly, my first wife Shannon and she got killed when I was on tour in Iraq.'

'I'm so sorry boss, I never knew you had children.'

'Didn't want anyone to know, still don't...'

End flashback

McGee was really wondering if they should remain on the case. It was clear that Tony and Gibbs wanted payback, he understands it, but there are rules that have to be followed. He made a decision, he would go talk to the director. If Arkadi and Bobrov would escape because Tony and Gibbs got swept away by emotions he didn't think the men would survive it. He stood up from behind his desk and walked towards the directors office.

Tony looked as McGee stood up and walked out of the bullpen towards the directors office. So this is how McGee is going to be?

'Special agent McGee, you requested to see me?', Jenny Shephard asked.

'Yes ma'am, I have some concerns about Gibbs and Tony being on the case we're working on.'

'The Russian arms dealers. I heard what happened.'

'Director, don't you think they are to close to this? What if Arkadi and Bobrov use it against them once we bring them in?'

'McGee, they killed agent Dinozzo's wife and daughter and dug her and Gibbs' daughter up. Do you really think they will be bringing them in?'

'If you know they're going to shoot them, then why don't you pull them of the case?'

'Because if I pull them of it, they won't stop investigating, now I can provide some sort of protection.'

'I think it's a mistake to let them stay on the case. Any other director would have called them back.' Director Shephard stood up from her chair and straightened her back.

'But I am the director, not you or someone els. And as the director I give you the order to follow special agent DiNozzo and Gibbs their orders, do I make myself clear?' McGee sighed and gave a nod.

'Crystal ma'am', he said before walking away. If the director didn't want to listen to his concerns then at least his team, his family had to listen! He knows that what these guys did is unforgivable, but Gibbs and Tony were not thinking clearly, they would put them all in danger!

'Gibbs?', he says as soon as he returns.

'Had a fine time with the director, special agent McGee?' Gibbs asked in a icy voice. Okay, so he know and he is pissed, big deal, he means well!

'Boss, I'm just concerned... I don't think we should be working this case, I know it's horrible that they killed Tony's wife and daughter and I really want to get them to, but it's clouding his judgment.' Tiny who had been listening couldn't believe what he was hearing. He got up from his chair and grabs his arm and drags him to the elevator, Gibbs and Ziva following them.

'You think it's horrible? You think it clouds my judgment? You think I would put you guys in danger, the only family I have left?' every word he said was said louder and louder until he was almost yelling. Tony dragged McGee into autopsy surprising Ducky and Palmer.

'Ducky, open Kiara's drawer', he didn't ask, he ordered. Ducky who knew better than to fight it did as he was told and opened the drawer and pulled away the sheet.

'Look at what they did! You see that there!?' He shove McGee closer so that he had a perfect view on where the bullet had hit her throat. 'You see that!? Do you know how long it took her to die!? How much it hurt!? They killed her then dug her up disturbing her piece, separating her from her mom! You know SHIT, and if you think I'm going to sit at the sidelines waiting until they catch those animals your dead mistaken. But since you think that none of us should work the case I'll let them choose, you made your choice, you won't be included in this investigation any longer!' He released McGee's arm and turned to Ziva and spoke a lot calmer.

'I won't ask Gibbs, that would be a insult, but if you want out this is your one and only chance.' He turned around and stormed out of autopsy with Gibbs on his six.

Ziva looked as if she wanted to say something but just shook her head before following Gibbs and Tony. Jimmy and Ducky both were speechless, they had never seen Tony lose his temper like that and were quite shocked. McGee didn't know what to say or to do, he had thought he was acting in the best interest of their team, he never wanted to upset them...

Tony sat behind his desk breathing loud and fast. If he didn't get it under control soon, the migraine would hit. Gibbs gave him a bottle of water which he took grateful and drank slowly.

'Thanks boss', he said.

'What now Tony?'

'The safe houses, we still need to check those.'

'Yeah, but right now we're a member short.'

'I know I'm not part of this conversation but I heard what happened in autopsy...' Tony looked up and saw Balboa come closer.

'Ow, you heard that?'

'Yeah, came down to ask Ducky something, I heard that you benched McGee, I would like to help finding those guys.'

'Why?', Tony asked curious.

'Because you guys need the help and I would like to help getting back at these bastards.'

'Thanks Balboa,' Tony said seriously. 'Can you guys read him in? I need a minute.' Gibbs gave a curt nod.

'Arkadi and Bobrov, two Russian arms dealers...' Gibbs began reading Balboa in on the case.
