A/N: A chapter up in the middle of the week, WOW! I wrote this up in English class today so it should be pretty good. I personally like this chapter a lot. BTW, did any love the season opener!!! I love the part when every one starts clapping at the end!

It was now the second week of September and Katya was at her first day of school. Ziva was sitting at her desk at NCIS working on paperwork from the previous case that they had involving a naval officer found dead in his office; his secretary had killed him because he had discovered she was stealing top-secret information.

After Katya had came, things had gotten pretty messy for Ziva, she had know idea how to take care of a teenager. But over time, three weeks to be exact, things had finally calmed down. Katya had also been excepted into the NCIS family.

The whole team were sitting at their desks. The team now including McGee who had decided that he would rather stay at NCIS working than spend a while at college getting a Ph.D.

Every once and a while, Tony would look up from his computer to stare at Ziva. He had been hanging out, going to movies, going out to dinner, coming over a lot recently, All on Katya's request since she had cornered Tony into telling her how he felt about Ziva. He had openly admitted his feelings for his partner to a fourteen year old girl that happens to be staying with said partner.

Ziva had been a little suspicious when Katya kept inviting Tony over after work, Katya had just explained that she is friends with Tony. Though Ziva did raise an eyebrow, she didn't say anything. Ziva was pretty sure it had something to do with the fact that she had told Katya that she was in love with Tony though she wasn't complaining about spending more time with the man she was pretty sure she was in love with, the only draw back being having a fourteen year old with them. She had gotten use to Tony hanging out with the two of them almost every night. The few nights a week he did not come over she was almost disappointed.

The peace and quite of fingers on keyboards typing was interrupted when Gbbs' phone rang. "Yeah, Gibbs…Why?…Yeah, will be there in a little bit." he said hanging up the phone.

"We got a case Boss?" Tony asked.

"I don't know yet, DiNozzo. We just have to get to the high school on base."

"Why?"

"What part of 'I don't know' don't you understand?" Gibbs said getting irritated. "Grab your gear. Tony, get the truck."

"Oh, why me Boss. Can't McGee get it? He was the one that gave us up for MIT."

"I was going to get a Ph.D. and I came back."

"Yeah but you still left. You- Thank you Boss." Tony said receiving a head slap.

"No, you get it. And for arguing with McGee, Ziva your driving." Tony put on a tortured face at the thought of Ziva's driving whioe she just smiled and walked to the elevator.

"Its not that bad Tony," Ziva said calling over her shoulder, "at least we'll get there timely."

"Yeah, maybe. But is that covered in the condense of my stomach or in a bunch of pieces?" Tony said teasingly walking up behind her as the elevator doors opened.

Ziva was speeding down the streets towards the base high school. When she pulled the truck into the parking lot in front of the school she got out and froze.

"Hey, Ziva, what's wrong?" McGee asked. When she didn't Tony did for her some how already knowing what was wrong.

"I don't know for sure, but I think this is where Katya is going to school." said Tony worriedly. Not just for Katya but for Ziva. Sure he was really worried about Katya, she was like a little sister to him. After what Ziva had told him about thinking of Katya as a sister he could only imagine what was going through her head at the thought of loosing another sister. Tony did the only thing he could think to do and went up to Ziva and hugged her. She stiffened but then relaxed and leaned into Tony's embrace. "She's fine. Let's go see if we can find someone that knows what's going on ok?"

Gibbs saw what was going on between the two agents but chose to ignore what was going on for Ziva's sake. He led his team over to where the police team was set up. Walking over there he could see Ziva looking around at the crowds of students with some parents that had gathered on the lawn looking for Katya with no luck. Gibbs found the man in charge and asked him what was wrong. "We have been able to confirm that there is a hostage situation going on in the auditorium. A few students reported an unknown male dressed in all black that was not supposed to be in the building. We have seven unaccounted for students that we suspect are being held hostage."

"Is there a girl named Katya on the unaccounted for list?" Ziva asked anxiously hoping there wasn't.

"Yeah, there is. Why you know here?" the cop asked.

"Shit! Yeah, I know her! She's living with me!" Ziva said angrily.

"Ziva, she lives with you, and her dad is the Deputy Director of Mossad. I'm sure she's armed. You have to believe that she will be able to take care of herself." Tony said trying to convince her that Katya will be okay. It didn't work. She started running towards the front doors of the school.

"You can't go in there ma'am!" the cop called after her. She didn't care. If anything happened to Katya she could never forgive herself. Not only would she be loosing another sister, she would be failing a mission given to her by the Deputy Director to protect his only daughter. Right as Ziva was about to pull open the doors to the school, to shots rang out and everybody started rushing towards the doors in tactical formation.

Thanks for reading! Please review.
