Chapter 10 - …who never let him forget.

A few hours later…

"Okay, you guys, I'm just going to my girls' night with Kate for a few hours. Are you sure you'll be okay until Tony and dad gets home?" Jenny told her two children, like they were ten years old.

Ziva and McGee sighed. "Mom, Tony isn't much older than us. Ziva's actually a half an hour older than him." McGee told her. "I would feel safe with or without him, it really makes no difference."

"And dad will most likely get home after you get home." Ziva added. "So we have no choice, but to be okay."

Jenny still looked worried.

"Mom, you go with Kate to your girl's night every week." McGee said reassuringly. "Ziva and I will be fine for a few hours. Tony should be here for our movie night we planned today anyways." Ziva nodded in agreement.

Jenny smiled. "Alright, if you guys are sure you'll be alright, I'll be alright."

McGee and Ziva smiled. "Good." McGee said.

Jenny kissed their foreheads and left, locking the door behind her.

"So what movie should we watch? I rather not let Tony choose again." McGee told his older sister, shivering at the last movie Tony made them watch. "Man, those Saw movies are just gruesome."

"That's the point of them, genius." Ziva told him in a smart tone. "Pick any movie you want, McGee. Tony won't care, since he's the movie king. He loves any movie."

"You know, I'm glad you, me, and Tony are having another movie night. Like old times." McGee said as he searched for a movie in their collection. "We haven't spent too much time together…you know, the three of us."

Ziva smiled at him and nodded, getting comfortable on the couch, with the popcorn in her lap. "True." She looked at the clock on the wall. "Tony should be coming any time now."

An hour and a half later…

Tony walked though to the door, smiling like an idiot, when he noticed Ziva and McGee staring at him from the couch. "Oh, hey, guys. What's up?"

Ziva glared. "Uh, Tony, it's 8:30!"

Tony shrugged. "And?"

"Remember we planned a movie night?" McGee asked, feeling upset that his brother forgot.

Tony put a finger to his nose in a thinking pose. "Oh, yeah…oh I totally forgot."

Ziva rolled her eyes. "No, really?"

Tony shrugged. "Let's do a raincheck."

Ziva looked pissed. "We've already rescheduled this movie night twice in the past week, Tony!" She snapped, getting up from the couch to face him. "What's with you? Ever since Jeanne came, you've treated us like we're just annoying siblings! Not your friends like before!"

"It's not my fault you don't like Jeanne, alright?" Tony snapped back. "Why can't you guys trust her? She's really a cool person when you get to know her!"

"We've tried to hang out with her and get to know her, but she treats us like dirt and pulls you away from us!" Ziva yelled. "We knew you were stupid, but not this stupid!"

"Hey!" Tony got in her face, yelling. "Don't call me stupid!"

"Get out of my face!" Ziva pushed him away. She noticed at the corner of her eyes that the empty popcorn bowl McGee had been holding was on the couch alone and McGee was gone. She heard footsteps and a door slam upstairs. "Great, now you've upset McGee! Again!"

"Oh, he needs to man up and quit being such a baby!" Tony told her, pushing his way through to the kitchen.

Ziva stared at him in disbelief. "He's your younger brother and he looks up to you." She said, trying to figure out what was going on with him. "You're my twin and I can't even figure out what is going through your head." She looked like she was going to cry, but held it in. "Who are you?"

Tony looked regretful, but let it go. "I'm different."

Ziva rolled her eyes. "Yeah. Different in a bad way." She turned around and went up the stairs.

Tony leaned over against the kitchen counter and sighed. "I know." He whispered.

Ziva didn't even break a sweat as she snuck down the tree next to her bedroom window and saw Damon. She smiled. "Hey." She waved, still in the tree.

Damon smiled. "Hey. Need help?"

Ziva shook her head. "Nope." She swung herself against the tree, using a foot to bounce off of it, and landed gracefully in front of Damon. "Ta-da."

Damon looked surprised. "Dang…you really are a ninja."

Ziva laughed quietly. "Come on, let's get out of here. I don't want to be anywhere near Tony right now." She took his hand and he led the way. She was extremely happy her father had given the agents across the street the night off.

"Boss!"

Gibbs groaned with his head in his hands. "What, Aiden?" He was still exhausted from the earlier events.

"Boss, I finally got a hold of Eli's phone numbers from all the burn phones he's been using. It's been traced to a go-phone, registered in a man named Abel Alexander, who you won't believe is actually Eli!" Aiden told him in a hurry. "He never did leave to go back to Tel Aviv! It was just a cover up!"

"Who's been using the phone?" Marc asked.

"His so-called grandson." Aiden brought up his picture on the big screen. "Damon Worth, but Worth is actually in the Mossad Data Base. He's been enrolled in the kids' school and- Boss, what's wrong?" Aiden asked as he watched Gibbs take out his cell phone in a panic mode.

"Jen, where are you?" Gibbs yelled into the phone. "Yes, something's wrong! Who's home with Ziva? Okay, I'll call, but get home now! Take Kate!" He hung up and dialed another number. "Tony! Where's your sister?" A pause. "Go check!" Another pause. "What do you mean she's not there?" A longer pause. "Her bedroom window is open? Okay, don't touch it and stay with your brother! Your mother and I are on the way!" He hung up. "Come on, gang, my house-"

"Gibbs!"

Jethro looked sharply up to where Vance was standing on the stairs and glared. "What, Leon?"

"Check your e-mail."

"I have to-"

"Check your damn e-mail, Gibbs!" Vance snapped, walking down the stairs.

Jethro growled. "Sit down!" He yelled at his team, minus Kate, and they immediately sat like puppies. He clicked the poor mouse hard to head towards his e-mail. Vance was suddenly next to his desk with a sympathetic expression. When he saw an untitled e-mail from an unknown sender, he opened it.

It read: Jethro,

I have something precious and dear to your heart. Click the attachment and you'll see her. I'll contact you instructions tomorrow.

No signature.

"Do I want to open the attachment?" Gibbs asked, dreading the picture that would be shown.

"You have to."

Gibbs sighed and clicked on the URL. Suddenly the screen went black, and it loaded the picture. Gibbs closed his eyes after the picture was loaded. The other team members couldn't help, but stand close to Gibbs' desk to see what was happening. Their blood went cold.

The picture was a picture of Ziva, unconscious, tied to a chair. She looked okay, except for the blood coming from a cut on her nose, looking like her nose was broken. She had a light bruise on her left cheek.

"Eli sent it to me too." Vance told him. He put a hand on Gibbs' shoulder. "We'll find her."

"Before or after he kills her?" Gibbs gripped the edge of his desk. "Ziva…"

Another evil cliffhanger? I think so! Review and you'll soon find out what happens.

PREVIEW:

Snap, snap, snap.

"Damon Worth." Marc said, showing his leader the school ID. "Is this him for sure?"

Gibbs leaned down and looked at the body's face. His blood went cold. "Yes, that's him." He whispered, but loud enough for Marc to hear. "Let's find his Mossad profile."

Marc nodded. "Got it." And walked away, pulling out his phone to call Kimberly.

Gibbs looked to Kate. "How's the search coming?"

Kate turned to him. "We haven't located another body, Gibbs."
