Ch 3
Gibbs walked into the squad room with a cup of coffee in his hand. He knew this would be a long night. "What have you got?" he barked at his team. "The number Juliet gave us was traced to a phone in South America…" "But Kate said that she thought she may have been moved." Juliet threw in. "Almost 2,000 calls have been made from that number to Juliet house phone sense she went missing. All consistent in length and time of day." McGee said. "When her kidnapper would leave…" said Gibbs "that's right boss." McGee said as Gibbs shot him a look. "Where is David?" he shouted suddenly noticing the absence of Ziva in the squad room. "Went home, said she was sick." said Tony. "We need all the help we can get. Has anyone talked to Abby yet?" Gibbs asked. "Boss, come on, this is a sensitive situation. Abby might overreact and…" Tony was cut off. "I said we need all the help we can get! DiNozzo, go fill her in, and take Juliet with you." Gibbs barked
Home of Ziva David
How could this have happened? It was never supposed to end this way. Why hadn't she known of Ari's plan? Why did she have to kill him? If she hadn't, agent Todd would be safe with him; he would never have hurt her. Now she was with some monster that was probably hurting and threatening her. Why did she feel like this was her fault? Because it was…
Elevator on the was to Abby's lab
"I have to warn you, Abby is… well… different." Tony said. "How so?" asked Juliet. "Well for one she is Goth…" "A Goth scientist?" Juliet asked surprised. "Yeah, and she was really close to Kate, so I'm not sure what her reaction will be." the elevator doors opened and Tony stepped out first, followed by a timid Juliet. Both were greeted by blaring music.
"Turn the music off Abbs!" Tony said as he walked through the door. "You sound like Gibbs!" shouted Abby without turning around. She picked up her remote, turned off the music and twirled around to greet Tony. The smile on her face fell when she day Juliet. "Who's this?" she asked confused. "well-" Tony broke off. "Juliet Todd" said Juliet with a smile. A look of remorse flashed across her face Abby's , followed by a forced smile. "What can I help you with Miss Todd?" she asked with fake enthusiasm. "Why don't I talk to you in the ballistic lab Abby" said Tony. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room.
After the door to the lab was securely closed, Tony started in on the story. Abby sat in silence while listening. She tried to take in what Tony was saying. "Kate is alive?" she asked finally. "We think so Abbs." replied Tony. "That her niece who she RAISED! I thought we where best friends! Why didn't she tell me?" Abby asked upset. Tears started to fall from her eyes and Tony embraced her in a hug. "She didn't tell any of us Abby. Like I told you before, she was ashamed." Tony said trying to comfort her. After a brief silence, Abby said "can I go talk to the girl?" "sure." said Tony with a smile.
Meanwhile
Juliet stood in this strange place by herself. Looking through the window at the Tony and the Goth girl named Abby. She sat there staring at him. Juliet wanted so badly to hear what he was saying. Suddenly, she heard yelling. She looked up and Abby was crying in Tony's arms. Then with no warning, they both got up and walked out of the room toward her. Oh no… she thought. She wants to talk to me.
"I never got the chance to introduce myself." said the Goth. "my name is Abby scuito, forensic pathologist at NCIS, and friend of Kate's." she said with a smile. "It nice to meat you Abby." said Juliet with a sincere smile. "Can I talk to you about Kate?" asked Abby. "sure." replied Juliet. "Tony?" said Abby. "Uh, yeah?" asked Tony. Abby pointed toward the door. With a wince, Tony turned and walked away. "I remember the first time I met Kate." said Abby
Flashback
Kate and Abby stood in her lab (scene from hung out to dry). Kate was talking about her past and law school experience. Abby could tell her and Kate would be great friends. She had a feeling.
End flashback
"I really liked her." said Abby. "Me too" said Juliet with a distant tone in her voice. "Tell me about her." said Abby. "Well, she raised me like a mom. What more is there to tell?" asked Juliet. "Any special memories?" asked Abby.
Flashback
"Hmm… I wonder where Juliet could be!" said a playful Kate. Hide and seal was Juliet favorite game. Just as Kate was about to give up and let her win, she hears a giggle come from under the table. "Oh my, I wonder what that was" she said as she reached under the table and pulled out a four year old girl. Juliet shook with laughter as Kate threw her in the air and caught her again. "Again Katie! Again!" "Sure squirt." said Kate a she tickled her little niece.
End flashback
"Actually, yeah…" said Juliet.
In squad room
Tony stepped off the elevator. "Status report." said Gibbs. "Taken care of." replied Tony. "Good work." said Gibbs.
"Found something boss!" said McGee. "I ran the number on the phone. It belongs to someone name Jorge Gonzales. According to our files on him, he was investigated with Ari in Kate's murder." "What murder Tim?" said Gibbs "I didn't mean it like that boss, sorry." replied McGee. "Continue," said Gibbs. "All right, we didn't find anything on him to be charged, but we did find out he has ties to al queda." "That's good work Tim. Can you trace the phone's location?" said Gibbs. "Sure. Oh and boss, I analyzed the patterns on the call times. According to my calculations, the next call should be received tonight at around twenty hundred hours."
