Ok, so I rewrote is because I realized it didn't make sense and I didn't like where is was going. I mean, come on, Gibbs doesn't run from Criminals, Criminals run from Gibbs. Anyways, please R&R :)

Ch 13

"Jorge, how nice it is to finally meet you." Said Gibbs, remaining perfectly motionless. Kat stepped in front of Juliet protectively, not that it did much good because Juliet was almost as tall as Kate. "It's over Jorge, let it go." She said trying to ease the situation. "Ah but you see my friends, it has only just begun."

Juliet looked around trying to think fast. She turned her head towards the exit door near the back of the warehouse. All they needed was a distraction and they could get Kate out. She was probably, no, certainly, the fastest runner here, so she would have to be the one to distract.

"It's me you want Jorge, not Kate." She said. Kate grabbed her wrist but didn't move. "Oh Juliet, I'm hurt. Call me daddy. Jorge sounds so formal, and after all, you are my little girl." Juliet swallowed the lump in her throat and side stepped from behind Kate. "Alright, daddy, take me instead of Kate." Juliet walked over to Jorge as he pulled the gun away from Gibbs. None of the team dared reach for the weapons, let alone move. They just watched in confusion as Juliet walked over to Jorge.

She stood next to him and looked him up and down. He had the same dark eyes as her and the same olive toned deeply tanned skin, but the freckles on Juliet's face determined that she was not full Mexican. He was muscular but now overweight. He was about the same height as Gibbs and he had Juliet's long legs. This man was definitely her father.

Suddenly, Jorge grabbed Juliet around the neck and threw her to her knees. "I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I'm afraid that it's the only way to send my message to Kate." He pulled out a knife with his free hand but still held the pistol firmly in his hand. He pressed the knife against Juliet's neck and she whimpered in fear then fell silent. Kate flinched and her eyes welled up with tears. She was afraid too.

Jorge slowly backed up towards the supply closet door still pinning Juliet to his body. Juliet's eyes met Kate's and Kate relaxed and made a quick nod. She knew exactly what Juliet had been thinking and decided to go along with it. Juliet was a big girl and could take care of herself. It also didn't hurt that she was a black belt and a world class track star.

In one fluid motion, Juliet tore free from Jorge and knocked the gun from his hand. He thrust the knife forward and made a large gash in her thigh. As blood seeped through her jeans, she grabbed the knife and kneed him in the stomach.

Kate took off running toward the exit and McGee and Ziva followed closely behind shielding her from any gunshots that might me fired. Jorge stood and grabbed Juliet around the stomach and pulled her into the supply closet. Gibbs and Tony put their backs against the wall and pulled their weapons. They heard a shatter like breaking glass and shot around so they where both standing on the doorway.

Juliet stood hunched over trying to catch her breath. Gibbs looked at the window that had been covered by a curtain and was now just an empty whole in the wall. Glass was shattered around Juliet and she had another cut on her left arm.

She stood up straight and cracked her neck. "I haven't fought like that in a long time." She said casually. Gibbs and Tony just stared at her astounded. This girl was tough. If Tony had been hurt like her he would be balled up on the floor whining.

They suddenly heard the sound of tire squeals outside and they ran over to the window. The old rusty car that was in the parking lot was now gone. "We will get our vengeance." Gibbs said to Juliet as he walked out of the room.

Intro

Juliet stepped outside and the cool wind hit her face. She didn't feel the pain in her leg or arm; she didn't feel anything but joy. She had done it. She had finally beat Jorge. Gibbs was right, she would get her vengeance. She smiled to herself and looked aver at Kate.

Guitar enters

She was standing by the car looking into the sunset, a beautiful sunset at that. It looked peaceful, like everything was finally right in the world. She walked over to the car, and stood next to Kate who put her arm around Juliet. Juliet laid her head on Kate's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Drum enters

The wind blew through her hair and alerted her senses. She felt refreshed and new, and she was. Her new life could start with Kate and Brian and things would be just like they used to be. She would finally be a part of a family again.

Chorus

As for the rest of the team, they would have to share Kate with her. She felt like she had in a way become close to Gibbs and the rest of the team during these last few days, so who knew, maybe she would be seeing more of them. All she knew now was that everything would be perfect again, she was home. One last gust of wind hit her face and she smiled to herself at that last thought.
