CHAPTER 16: WHY...
TONY'S HOUSE...
ZIVA'S P.O.V.
It has only been a half an hour since I brought, Tony home. He refused to walk down the hall to his room, because he would pass Jessie's room. So instead, he lay down on the couch.
I brought a book in from my car and while the team continued to go over the crime scene, I decided to stay with Tony.
"I'm coming, Care Bear!" Tony yelled sitting up and looking around.
"Tony?" I asked.
"I have to go check on, Jess." Tony said, and then he realized what he said and leaning back against the couch closing his eyes.
This was a different Tony from the one I had met just about seven years ago. Finding out that he had a daughter Tony had changed a lot.
"We'll find her, Tony." I told him.
"I can't lose her, Zi. I just met her, but..." Tony could not seem to find any more words.
"I know, Tony." I said getting up from the chair I was sitting in and going to sit beside him.
TONY'S P.O.V.
I do not know how long we had been sitting there, when I heard the doorbell. I jumped up and made it to the door hoping it would be some news on, Jessie.
When I opened the door and saw who it was...
"Dad," Was all I said.
"Hey, junior, I know I didn't show up for dinner last month..." He began.
"Jessie was disappointed she didn't meet you, but I can't say I was surprised. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I heard that Jess is missing..." Dad began.
"Yes, Jessie's missing that doesn't explain why you're here or why you're acting like you care." I told him.
"Junior..." Dad began.
It was just then my cell phone rang and I pulled it out of my pocket, it was Gibbs. I hoped it was a call that Jessie was safe...
"Any news, Boss...all right, we'll be there soon...I know...rule 10...Boss this...all right, be there soon." I said and hung up.
"Tony?" Ziva asked coming up behind me.
"Gibbs needs us to come to NCIS." I said with a final glare at my father.
I grabbed my keys and stepped out the door. After Ziva was outside, I locked the door and turned back to my father.
"Junior..." My dad began.
"I have to go find my daughter and right now that's all I care about." I walked to Ziva's car and got in the passenger's seat.
I looked to where my father was still standing on the porch he looked at me with a defeated face. If I was not so mad at him, I would have almost felt sorry. I saw him pull out his phone and then Ziva pulled away from the curve.
"Tony, maybe..." Ziva began.
"Ziva, he's my dad and do I need to remind..." I started.
"No, Tony. You do not need to remind me that he disappointed, Jess. I heard what you told him, but you did not give him a chance to explain." Ziva told me and I gave a bitter laugh.
"A chance to explain, just a chance to come up with more excuses and lies is more like it." I told her.
The rest of the ride was silent, finally we reached NCIS, and she parked in her place.
NCIS SQUAD ROOM...
McGee was at his desk looking at his computer very hard and typing information. Abby was sitting in a chair just beside McGee and telling him something.
Gibbs was at his desk and yelling at someone on the phone. I stood between my desk and Ziva's desk.
"Do you know something?" I asked as Gibbs, McGee, and Abby looked over.
I was hoping for some good news, because the sooner we brought Jessie home the better. Gibbs hung up the phone and looked at me.
"I talked to some of the neighbors...NCIS is working with Metro on this case..."
He didn't look too happy about NCIS working a joint case with Metro P.D. to find Jessie and normally I wouldn't be happy with it either, but this was about Jessie.
"...The neighbors said that they had seen a couple of men coming for a few hours every day, over the past couple of weeks. Until today when the men took Jessie, Colleen and the other little girl," Gibbs said.
"What? Colleen was in on it?" I asked.
"It's something we're looking into." Gibbs said.
I couldn't believe that I had just heard that.
Colleen? The women had known Jessie her whole life and I had trusted her to take care of, Jessie.
"Any ideas who..." I asked.
"DiNozzo, you're not on this case. Rule..." Gibbs began.
"I don't give a damn about rule 10." I growled.
"DiNozzo," Gibbs was warning me and I lost it.
"You don't know it's like to know your daughter is missing and to have the thought you might never see her again! Your daughter is d...boss, I'm...all I can think of is, Jessie." I said and turned heading for the bathroom.
"DiNozzo," Gibbs yelled, but I kept walking.
I didn't have to look to know that Ziva was right behind me. I felt her grab my hand and it seemed everything was getting to me.
Jessie being kidnapped...
My dad showing up again...
Colleen Parry...
Someone Jessie trusted and that I had begun to trust...
Possibly being in on the kidnapping...
I didn't want to know what else could go wrong, because if I thought about it...it would happen.
I felt Ziva tug my hand and pulled me through the doors to the stairwell.
"Tony?" I know she was worried.
I was exhausted from everything and scared.
"How can this happen, Zi? Why does my daughter have to go through so much?" I asked.
"I do not know, Tony. But she is strong and..." Ziva began.
"Ziva, she is five years old. She is not as strong as she tries to make everyone believe, I hear her crying when she thinks no one can hear her. She's been through so much already and it's amazing that it hasn't broken her yet." I said.
