The part of me you never knew. Chapter 9.
Previously.
I told Emmett and Carlisle to start the Jeep and Mercedes and told Esme, Jasper and Alice to get in the Mercedes and everyone else to get in the Jeep. I got Edward to grab my laptop and Ziva and Rose gave me $5 when he took that and then came back for me. I grabbed the box and got in the Jeep.
"Hey Emmett, can I drive?" Ziva asked when she got in the car. I saw Emmett was about to agree, so I decided to save Rose from fixing the car.
"If you value your car and your sanity, not that you have any, then don't let her drive." He agreed with me when I told him he could find out later.

We got to NCIS and walked in. Gibbs was waiting in the bullpen for us. I gave him the letter while we got in the lift to go to Abby's lab.
"Ok, how does he know about the Cullens? How did he take the picture without them knowing? And what the hell is in that box?" Jeez! Breathe Gibbs!
"For the hundredth time, I will explain everything when we get to Abby's lab." I said, already regretting coming down here myself.
"That is the second time you said that actually." Gibbs said. Cocky.
"Meh. Minor details." I said as we walked into Abby's lab. As usual, the music was on full blast and she was talking to her machines. I looked at the Cullen's to see that they were looking quite shocked and like they were going to have a heart attack! Hahaha! A vampire! Having a heart attack! I'm glad Edward can't read my mind! He would turn insane! "Don't worry. This is usual." I said, referring to Abby, not to my mental thought. Although, that was quite usual too…
"ABBY!" Ziva yelled, cutting off my thoughts. Abby turned the music down before turning to face us.
"Hey guys! Aren't you supposed to be at home Bella?" She asked, grabbing the Caff-Pow from Gibbs.
"Meh. Minor details." I said for the second time today. I put the box on her desk and gave her the letter before walking out. Ziva could explain. Plus, I wanted to prank Tony. I walked into the bullpen to see Tony and McGee at each others throats again! I can't deal with this today! I was about to go over there and drag them to the gym by their ears so thay could sort this out, when a voice behind me stopped me in my tracks.
"If I remember rightly, Miss Swan," Vance said, making me turn to face him. "I sent you home until all of your injuries have healed. And, if I am correct to think so, your injuries wouldn't be able to heal within 4 hours!" Damn! Why did he have to give me the stare! Vance has this stare that makes you want to spill all of your darkest secrets! And he just used it on me! No fair!
"Can we talk in your office?" I sighed. He motioned for me to go first.
I sat down in his office and he looked at me from across the table.
"I got a letter today. I didn't believe it was real at first but the picture with it just confirmed it, so I e-mailed my friend at the state prison and asked her and she told me he was out, so I started panicking because he could hurt my family, then he sent me a box with another letter and pictures of me from when I joined NCIS, so I brought them here and-" I started.
"BELLA!" Vance yelled to get me to shut up. "Ok, let's do this slowly. Who sent you these letters and photos?" Really, start with that one! Well… I suppose it makes sense.
"Daniel Richards." I replied. The director's gasp made me look up to see the fear written across his face. Just then, Gibbs, being himself, walked into the room, uninvited, bringing the Cullens, Ziva, McGee, Tony and Abby in with him.
Abby handed the letters and the photos to Vance. "There were no finger prints or any DNA on them Bella." She said, looking at me with a teary expression. We all watched as the director read the letters and looked at some of the photos.
"Bella, I want you and Ziva to wait in the garage. I will be sending you and all the Cullen's to a safe house for the time being." He said. "The Cullen's will be out once I have told them where you are going and I need a private word with them."
I followed Ziva out. As we got in the lift to go down the garage, I couldn't help the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. Something's not right.

"Alice." The director said, not looking away from me. "What did you see?"
"I saw Bella being thrown into a van in the NCIS gara…" I trailed off as a vision hit me. Damn! How did I not realise this before? I thought to myself.
"Alice?" Jazz asked, holing my shoulders and looking in my eyes. "What did you see? What was it?"
"Ziva." I replied. "She's going to be taken too! We need to go! Now!" Before anyone could say anything else, I ran at full speed down the stairs and into the garage, only to realise one thing. We were too late.

"I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHY YOU LET DANIEL RICHARDS OUT WHEN YOU KNEW HE WAS UNSTABLE!" Vance shouted down the phone to some poor officer at the state prison. Bella and Ziva were kidnapped 5 hours ago and nothing we had helped us.
We were all sat in his office, looking and feeling tired and sad. Tony was sat on the desk with his face in his hands; McGee was on his laptop trying to track the van on traffic cameras, the rest of my family were sat on the chairs looking sad and defeated and Gibbs and I were pacing the office. Gibbs because he couldn't sit still, and me because I was trying to see something. Anything.
I heard the phone slam onto the cradle before hearing the director sit in his chair and give a sigh. I looked at him. What I saw, was a man who didn't know what to do or who to turn to. I could tell that just from looking at his face that he cares about everyone who works in this building, and maybe even everyone who works for NCIS period. Being the head of a federal agency can have this effect on people. I hope we find them. And soon!
I am SO sorry for the late update! I have been under so much stress to get my coursework in and revise for exams! My life has just been shit and I haven't been in the mood to write lately.
On the bright side, I turned 16 in February and I got a place at the College I want to go to! I am going for a maths entry exam soon, so that will take up some of my time. My brother's going to uni this year, so I will be helping him move to wherever he is going when the time comes.
Sorry again for the late update. And for how short the chapter is.
Please review!
