I had gone back home after we finished the case, I made my way downstairs to where my boat was. As I reached the bottom step I hung up my phone Jenny must have been in a meeting cause she wasn't answering her phone. I set my phone down on my work bench as I turned around I had a gun in my face before I had time to react something hit me in the back of the head I felt blood trickling down my neck, the last thing I remember was hitting the floor and everything going pitch black...

When I awoke I was in a small dark room like a jail cell without the bars, only a small window that I could look out of except at the moment it was night, my mind was racing with thoughts? Where am I? What happened? Is Jenny and the boys alright? How long had I been out? Who had taken me? Will the team be able to find me? After awhile I shook my head and looked around trying to see exactly where I was or if there was anything I could use to get out of here all I found was a small piece of chalk that I put in the corner in case it would come in use.

With each passing day I marked it on the wall, it had been four days before I heard the door open I glanced towards it only to see food slid through it and then it was shut again, I was hesitate at first but I ate it after seeing there was nothing bad about it. I counted every four days I would get some sort of food and i'd look through it before I ate it. The fifth day I had someone come in trying to talk to me. The first day I almost got myself shot but I didn't care. He was a tall skinny man with a ski mask on he wore all black as he stepped in my cell.

"Who are you?" Was the first question I asked him.

"You will know with time." Was his reply

"What am I doing here?"

"You are here to help us get to someone close to you."

"Who?" I was starting to get irritated by him but I didn't let it show

"Director Jennifer Shepard, or should I say Jennifer Gibbs..." When I heard the name I became silent, if I knew someone was after Jenny she would have been someplace safe right now but because I didn't not only am I in danger to is my family.

"You leave her alone!"

"I'm sorry special agent Gibbs I can't do that."

"Why Not?!"

"She's done so much to us in the past, plus she sent one of her agents after our bosses daughters only to have him break her heart and well now she's dead so that gives out boss another reason to hate her. "

That was when I realized who these people were... "you all work for la grenouille... or should I call him the frog.."

They just starred at me,

"Also for your information DiNozzo didn't break her heart he loved her so much he told her the truth and she left him, he was so heartbroken that it took weeks to get back to his normal self. "

"Shut up!" he shouted yet I wasn't gonna give in.

"No because I don't have to until I get answers."

"You don't shut up and i'll shoot you!" The figure shouted once again.

"No!" I watched him raise the gun he was about to pull the trigger when another guy came in and stopped him.

"We need him to get information about her, he's the only thing we have left to get to her.." The one guy nodded and they both left leaving me alone once again…"

With each passing day I could only sit and watch out the small window with each setting sun I marked another day, every four day they sent a plate of food in. Then the day after they'd question me, if I didn't cooperate which I never did they'd beat me for hours but I didn't let that stop me I wasn't gonna give them anything on Jenny. I hadn't realized it but it had been two months since I was taken the twins would be five months now every day I wondered how they were doing I worried because I knew Jenny was dying but she would never tell me how she was feeling, that was one thing about her I could always tell when she was lying, not feeling well or hiding something from me. She can get mad about it but that is one thing about her that she could never hide from me I knew I had to get out here but how?


The men who had taken Gibbs did in fact work for la grenouille. They were hired to get anyone and everyone close to Jenny in hopes of finding out as much as they could about her, they mostly wanted to know her weaknesses. Jenny had bee trying to take down la grenouille for the longest time and the last time she did almost succeed now it was time for them to change places, he was gonna take Jenny down and hopefully dispose of her. With her around he could no longer do what he use to because it was as if she was watching their every move and with Jenny who knows she could have been.

The more time passed and still Gibbs hadn't spoken up, la grenouille was surprise how much this man could talk he had his men beat him severely and torture him in many ways but still he would not talk, finally that two month mark hit and he stood outside the cell doors with the door slightly open as he spoke to his men, he was gonna find a way to get him to talk and he had the perfect plan.

"Boss he still won't talk." One of the men said to la grenouille.

"Well maybe we have to approach this a different way." la grenouille spoke loud enough for Gibbs to hear this was his way of torturing him.

"How do you want us to do it then?"

"Go for his family... He has two sons get them both.." la grenouille said coldly. The sound of someone shooting up and akin their way to the door could be heard la grenouille quickly shut the door as he opened the little window in the door.

"You touch those boys and i'll kill you myself." Gibbs voice was cold as he looked towards the frog.

"Go get them boys..." la grenouille said as he narrowed his eyes watching Gibbs, his men took off as he stood there.

"Sorry Gibbs but we are gonna get you to talk one way or another."

"Call them off i'll talk, I'll talk to you." Gibbs said with defeat in his voice.

"Depends on what you have to tell me..."

La grenouille had taken Gibbs to another room where he sat him down, Gibbs starred at him silently, they had been sitting there for an hour before la grenouille went to speak up but was cut off by one of his men.

"Sorry boss... We were unable to get them, one we had but then we were hunted down by two men, one of the guys was killed, the other little boy we don't know what happened.. We tried and now they know where we are..."

"You let them follow you!? Now we gotta get out of here before they find us." Just as he went to get up Gibb got up he had broken free of the ropes as he made his way towards him with a broken shard of glass he found. He ignored the pain all over his body as he fought, he killed the one men but before he had a chance to kill the frog he felt something hit his shoulder, looking up he saw la grenouille with a gun he knew he had been shot but that didn't stop him he chucked the glass shared at him which hit him in the side. Before he fell to the ground he shot once more hitting Gibbs in the leg but it didn't matter the frog was now dead. Gibbs laid there as he watched la grenouille bleed out, he knew he probably would bleed out as well, he laid there for awhile, he heard gunshots in the distance his team had found him but was it too late. Just as Tony entered the room he slipped into blackness.


"In here!" I shouted as I found Gibbs. "Boss stay with us, help is coming..." Ziva came running into the room with Kate and McGee behind her. "Some one go call an ambulance!"

"On it!" Kate said as she left. McGee put pressure on his leg as Ziva did with his shoulder. I called Abby telling her we found him and what hospital we'd be at. She thanked me and hung up. As I looked back Gibbs was being taken out in a stretcher he was given an air mask as they took off with him he didn't look to good, which worried all of us.

"Who wants to call Ducky and Jenny?" was the first words said after we found Gibbs it was asked by Ziva. No one wanted to call Jenny because no one knew how she would take it. We all decided to head up to the hospital once we got there I looked towards them.

"I'm the senior agent i'll call her you guys go wait in the waiting room let me know when he comes out of surgery." With that I turned and left. I decided to call Ducky first so I did.

"What's up Tony?" Ducky asked from the other line

"Ducky i've got some good and bad new."

"What is it? Also you're on speaker phone."

"Good you are saving me another phone call."

"Get on with it Tony!" Jenny said from where she sat.

"We found Gibbs but we are unable to get to him..."

"Get on with it DiNozzo!" I could tell Jenny really wanted to know and I really didn't want to tell her.

"Jennifer let him finish.." I heard Ducky say just then a cry rang out a few minutes later it had stopped but I could hear baby noises nearby so I figured Jenny brought whoever was crying to come sit by her.

"Well when we found him he was shot twice and he had passed out he's at the hospital now currently in surgery. Jenny before you freak out I want you to know la grenouille is dead Gibbs managed to kill him before he fell. " Jenny was silent on the other line which worried me. "Ducky is she okay?"

"Yes Anthony she is fine she's sitting with the boys she's crying but she hasn't run off yet. I'll bring them down in a little bit." With that Ducky hung up.


I was back in the room surrounded by blackness, I could hear them telling me they are going after my boys I couldn't let that happened. Just then the scene changed I was brought into a room where there was a curtain, once they sat me down and pulled the curtain down I saw my family, all the way from Jenny and the boys, to my entire team even Fornell and Franks were there, they all looked dead yet they weren't. As the nightmare continued I watched as each of them suffered because of me. Just as the got to Jenny everything went black once again. I heard a voice beside me.

"Jethro..." It was soft and sweet I knew it was Jenny. "Jethro, please come back to me..." That was the last I heard before it went completely black, I knew I must be unconscious because she's telling her to come back to her. I'm fighting to get back to her I won't leave her. Our sons need both of us, if I didn't make it they would have neither of us. I kept telling myself not to give up not to give up on fighting. Time seemed to be standing still I had no clue what day it was to tell you the truth I didn't know where I was I could be in that warehouse for all I know. The one thing I did know was I was in between life and death and I couldn't figure out how to get out of it, one moment i'm being pulled back to reality the next i'm being pulled closer to death yet I always manage to stay in the middle. For a moment I was brought to reality and I was able to say one word but as soon as I did I was pulled back into the darkness..

"Jenny..." The one word I was able to mutter.
