Authors note: thank you all for putting up with my absence :D enjoy
When she woke, she thought it had been a dream, until her body began complaining to her. She winced at the ache in her arms. Once more she felt panic, but despite this inside her head, her training screamed at her 'focus girl! Panicking never helped anyone!' still it crept up inside her, a feeling that intensified further when the agent opened the door. He laughed and said "you're up, good, and you look reasonably terrified, Gibbs wants to talk to you" her eyes widened he set up a camera a little bit in front of her. she stared at him "now before we get started, there are a few rules, can't tell him who I am, you say what I want you to and you shut up when I want you too okay?" he pulled a ski mask over his head. She felt that panic deep inside as he neared her. He placed a phone in front of her and put it on loud speaker. "Hello special agent Gibbs" there was barely a pause before "where is she?" her jailer pressed a button and the camera sprang to life. There was a pause then she heard tony "what have you done to her you bastard!" her captor laughed again and pressed the cattle prod against her skin, she jolted forcing her mouth to stay closed. There was silence, then a sound almost like that of someone being restrained. Her captor said "do you want to talk to her now special agent Gibbs?" his voice almost a bone chilling purr. "Kate?" "I'm here Gibbs" try as she may, the pain still laced her words. Her captor laughed "now Gibbs, you have one of two choices, either you stop looking for me, and I let agent Todd go once I get somewhere nice, or you can watch her die" Gibbs was silent for a moment more "you have twenty four hours Gibbs, I'll call you then, and don't bother using a trace, Abby won't find me here" Kate knew she had to say something "Gibbs, there's something I need you to do, in my bottom draw, there's a book, I need you to give it to my sister, tell her my favourite was page 7, cause Gibbs, you get this jerk, and you put him away for-"her words ended in a drawn out scream as the cattle prod sent pain eating into her flesh once more. She swung her leg and struck him with her heel, she heard a crack and took some satisfaction as he screamed near her ear, she knew she was gonna pay for that but through the phone she heard Tony and Abby whoop and Gibbs say in his soft tone "good girl" her face lit up in a smile, then she saw the camera shut off and her captor pressed the cattle prod against her stomach, she let out another lingering scream as her captor staggered to his feet.
He snapped "you're gonna regret that Todd!" she smirked and he moved toward her, she felt panic begin to whirl up inside her, her training doing nothing to subdue the raw fear she felt at the look in his eyes. He clicked off the phone and as he did she heard a soft murmur "hang on Kate" her mind latched onto his voice, Gibbs calmed the panic inside, she knew he would find her, it was only a matter of time.
