"So, wait," Tony said, obviously confused, "The wives killed their husbands, too?"

"What about wife number one?" Gibbs asked, forgetting her name.

"Jane," Ziva told him.

"Yeah, Jane. Why isn't she there? If they're killing their husbands, then where is she?"

Tony shrugged, "Maybe she couldn't come?" He guessed.

Gibbs shook his head, "Something doesn't feel right."

"Gut tellin' you something, Boss?"

"Yeah, I just don't know what yet," He walked to his desk and grabbed his gear.

"Ziva, you're with me. Tony, go to Jane's house. If she's there, talk to her. See if she knows anything. If you think she's a part of this, bring her in!"

Tony nodded and walked to the elevator with Gibbs and Ziva, "Where are you two going?"

"To visit our suspects homes, although I have a feeling they won't be there. Ziva, get a-"

"Warrant," She finished, her cell phone already to her ear, "On it."

Tony knocked on Jane's door.

Jane's husband wasn't in the military. NCIS hadn't gotten the case until victim two, almost a month later. Since that time, all four agents had talked to Jane quite a bit.

It took a moment, but she came to the door and answered. She remembered Tony immediately, "Hello, Agent DiNozzo," She said, a small smile on her face, "What brings you here?"

"I needed to ask you some questions. Do you mind if I come in?"

"Of course not," She replied, moving out of the way so he could come inside.

He entered and she shut the door behind him, "Let's go into the living room," She said, leading the way.

They both sat down, and Tony got started, "How have you been?" He asked.

She took a deep breath, "Some days are tough, but others are okay. It has been five months, but sometimes it feels like yesterday. How is the case going?"

"We're working on it," Tony assured.

She smiled, "That bad?.. What questions did you need to ask?"

"Have you talked to any of the other women who lost their husbands recently?"

"The ones whose husbands were killed the same way as mine?"

He nodded.

She shook her head, "No. I've never talked to any of them. I don't even know their names. Why?"

"We have proof that the other wives, Gina, Brittany, and Donna, have kidnapped two of our co-workers. One agent and our forensic scientist."

"Oh my God," She replied, genuinely shocked, "That's terrible."

Tony saw her reaction. Doing this job as long as he had, he could usually tell when an emotion was fake… and Jane's wasn't. She wasn't a part of this.

"Do you… do you think they killed my husband?"

"We don't know, Ma'am."

"I wish I…" Her voice trailed off and she looked as though she was in deep thought.

"Is something wrong?"

"I got a phone call, two weeks ago. I wasn't home, but whoever it was left a message. It was a woman. She sounded angry, saying how my husbands killer should have been found already. She said that if the agents working on the case had done their jobs, then three other men wouldn't have had to die. She said that she and a couple of other women were going to get together and make sure that that happened... That the man would be found," She shrugged, "I thought she was talking about wanting to make a website for them, or get on America's Most Wanted, or something. She left a number, but I deleted the message… That was one of my bad days and I just didn't want to hear anything about my husband being gone."

It took a moment for Tony to put two and two together, but once he did, he got up quickly, "Thank you, Ms. Brooks, you've been a big help." They both headed to the door, "I'll let you know when I have any new information."

"Okay. Thank you, Agent DiNozzo," She opened the door for him, "I hope you find your co-workers soon… and safe."

He nodded, "Thank you. Have a good day."

Gibbs and Ziva had been to Gina's house, and were now on their way to Brittany's place.

Ziva's phone began to ring. It was Tony.

"Hello."

"Hey, Ziva. Jane isn't a part of this. And I think I know why the other three woman are doing this."

"I am putting you on speaker," She pressed the speaker button on her phone, "Go ahead."

"Jane said she got a phone call from one of the women a couple of weeks ago. Whichever woman it was, left a message on her phone. She said that if we had done our jobs right, then the other men wouldn't have had to die. She and a couple other women were going to get together and make sure we found out who the killer was-"

"What are you gettin' at DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked impatiently.

"They're teaching us a lesson, Boss. That's why they kidnapped Abbs and Probie. They're saying we should have found the killer sooner."

Gibbs cursed under his breath.

"Where are you guys headed?" Tony asked.

"Brittany's house. Go on to Donna's place and check it out, we'll meet you there if we don't find anything here," Gibbs replied as he pulled into Brittany's driveway.

"OK."

Tim wiped the sweat off of his forehead. Another two hours had passed, but it felt like two years.

By now both he and Abby had had their embarrassing "I have to pee" moments, and now they just sat there. Abby had moved over by Tim, but they still didn't speak.

Abby sighed. She swallowed, barely any spit in her mouth. Tears began to fill in her eyes. She didn't know exactly why, but she started to cry. She held her head in her hands, trying to keep quiet, but she couldn't help the gasping breaths that escaped her.

Tim looked over at her dark figure. "You okay?" He asked, his voice dry and raspy.

She took a deep breath in, "Yeah."

He scooted over beside her, "No you're not."

Abby shook her head and began to cry harder, "No, I'm not," she agreed.

He put his arm around her, and she laid her head on his chest, "I'm so sorry, Abby."

"For… what?"

"For all of this. It's all my fault. I… I shouldn't have taken you out. If I wouldn't have, then-"

"No," Abby interrupted, wiping her tears away, "No, don't say that. I had a great time, Timmy… Up until the point where we got kidnapped."

"Yeah, that part sucked."

They both laughed, but it didn't last long. Soon they were both back to thinking about their impending fate.

Tim kissed the top of Abby's head. Kind of a silent reassurance that they still had a chance and that she shouldn't give up all hope.

"Timmy?" She said after a moment of silence.

"Yeah?"

"It's… It's getting harder to breathe."

He sighed and rubbed her arm, "I know."

Thanks for all the reviews! I love them like Abby loves the fact that Tim was jealous of her and Cade ;)

Anyone else fear that they aren't going to make it until the new NCIS episode? How is it that days go by super fast when NCIS comes on Tuesday, yet when we have to wait a few weeks, it goes by super slow? NOT FAIR! haha
