Kelly pulled into the hotel parking lot a couple hours later. She was tired from driving and thinking about her life. As she got her bags out and headed towards the lobby she felt a bit relieved. She was starting over and hopefully find out some clues to her past. She had been very careful in choosing where to stay and purchasing her new suv. Kelly had thought she was being followed a couple of days earlier and decided to make some changes and take some precautions just in case. She wasn't sure who was out there and did not want to find out. She was secretly glad that her adopted dad had made her take karate lessons as a kid and later on made her learn to shot a gun. She had been a natural and always hit her target dead on. That had surprised him and she laughed at that memory. She unlocked her room and did a quick sweep of it. As she walked around she decided she watched too many crime shows and might be over reacting a bit. But she couldn't ignore her gut. She was sure someone was after her. She decided to go and get something to eat while she looked at the envelope's contents. Then she would come back and plan her next move.

Gibbs and Fornell came out of the room after Kort was being escorted out. His days as a CIA agent were numbered. "I shouldn't be surprised at the things Kort does anymore. He doesn't play by the rules when it comes to making money and he doesn't care who he hurts." Said Fornell as they reached the bullpen and headed over to Gibb's desk.

Gibbs nodded as he sat down. It had taken everything he had not to have grabbed Kort by the throat to choke the information out of him. Kort had placed a tracking device on the car to try and get some dirt on Tony. It had nothing to do their search for Kelly. They were back at square one.

He had lost the girl. She was smarter than he had realized. He needed to find out where she went after selling the house. He could not get any information from the realtor or the dealership even posing as a cop. He was going to get it from his boss when he found out. He had to decide his next move carefully. Where would she go? He thought about it as he packed his bags and headed out the door. He smiled then and knew exactly where he was going next.

Gibbs sighed as he leaned back in his chair to think. "Fornell, it's not adding up. Kort is just a pawn in this. I think it was meant to throw us off."

"Yeah, I think you are right. But who is pulling the strings?" replied Fornell.

"I still think it involves the cartel family." Said Gibbs. He picked up the phone and dialed. "McGee, I need Kort's movements tracked and his phone records. See if he is being watched. You got thirty minutes." Gibbs hung up the phone without waiting for McGee to reply.

Ziva came into the bullpen. "Gibbs, we got a call from Florence. She said a man came in asking questions about us and Kelly. He tried to pose as a cop but Florence said she knew better. She did not give him much information and he had left frustrated. He was gone by the time the local police had gotten there. She is at the police station right now giving a description. We will have a sketch of the guy in about an hour."

Gibbs just smiled. Good old Florence he thought.

Fornell jumped up and headed towards the elevator. "I am going to see what my contacts can find out. I will be back in a couple of hours."

Dinozzo had run to pick up dinner for everyone since it was going to be a late night since he had gotten the short straw. As he had turned around from the counter his eyes glanced towards a young woman sitting close to the wall. He almost dropped the takeout. It couldn't be her he thought. Nothing ever goes this easy. He quickly sat down and took out his cell and quietly took a picture without being obvious. He sent a text to Abby and took in the surroundings. It did not appear that she was being watched by anyone else and that she was by herself. She appeared deep in thought and was too busy reading some to notice him. He quickly formed a plan to get her out if needed before backup could arrive while waiting on confirmation.

Abby got the picture and text and quickly sent it to her computer. There was an instant match. She replied to Tony quickly and then did the happy dance as McGee ran up to tell Gibbs.

Ziva slipped into the restaurant quietly. Tony nodded towards Kelly. Gibbs watched from MTAC. He did not need to risk Kelly's life by being there. It was one of the hardest things for him to do. All he wanted to do was grab her in a big bear hug and never let her go.

Ziva walked over to Kelly and took the seat across from her. Kelly was so startled that she knocked over her tea. Luckily the lid was on and it kept the contents from spilling over on the file.

"Kelly, I don't have time to explain, but I am with NCIS and we believe your life is in danger. We have been trying to find you for some time now. I need you to come with me so that we can protect you." Said Ziva

Kelly sat in disbelief as Ziva said these things to her. She had been trying to understand the letter from her adopted dad in the file and then Ziva shows up. Her gut told her she could trust her and she was pretty good at reading people and decided she needed to go with her even if it didn't make sense at the moment. She nodded at Ziva and gathered her things as she stood up.

Tony got up after they passed by the table and walked out slowly. He stood outside for a moment while the girls got into the second charger. McGee nodded from the other side as he headed towards Tony's car. All was clear at the moment.

The screen at MTAC showed no sign of anyone following after them. It didn't mean they were totally clear but for now it bought them some time. He took a deep breathe. Kelly looked so much like Shannon. He could not believe his baby girl was on her way. He didn't know how to prepare for this one.
