DISCLAIMBER:

NCIS and characters do not belong to me.

A few days after Kate Todd's funeral, Tony dose something and now it's been a little over seven years. What happened in the past comes back to him...with a shock! What did Tony do and why would it come back to him now?

Little TIVA, MCABBY and maybe a love interest for Leroy Jethro Gibbs

CHAPTER 17: THE PHONE CALL & FINDING THEM...

TONY'S P.O.V.

STILL IN THE STAIRWELL...

I was still standing in the stairwell with Ziva when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket for a second time today and looked at it.

I couldn't believe who it was...

"Tony?" Ziva asked and I looked at her.

"Where's Jessie...If you hurt her in any way...he..." The person had hung up and I looked at Ziva, before turning and running back into the Bullpen.

NCIS SQUAD ROOM...

Gibbs, McGee, and Abby looked up at me in surprise.

"Tony, what...?" Ziva began.

"McGee! Trace the last call to my cell phone!" I said and handed him to my phone.

"DiNozzo..." Gibbs began.

"The kidnapper just called me. Do you have anything yet?" I asked McGee.

"Do you know if it was a man or women?" Gibbs asked.

"No, they had a..." I couldn't think of what I was trying to say.

"What?" Gibbs asked.

"A device to disguise their voice," I said.

"Almost got it...got it!" he said.

I looked at his computer.

"This is too simple. Something is wrong..." I couldn't finish.

"What are you waiting for," Gibbs yelled grabbing his gear.

Ziva and McGee grabbed their gear as I grabbed my gear. Gibbs looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but instead just headed for the elevator.

AN ABANDON WAREHOUSE...

We made our way to the building...

"DiNozzo, David; go to the front. McGee and I will go in back." Gibbs told us.

I made my way to the door. With Ziva on one side and me on the other I threw the doors open.

Jessie and her friend Laura were tied to chairs in the center of the room. Colleen was nowhere to be seen and I knew that she had been a part of the kidnapping. I looked around, because I knew the kidnapper was close.

"Jess," I said and the look on her face broke my heart.

It was the same look Ziva had when we got back from Somalia. A haunted look, but Jessie didn't say a word. She just looked at me and Laura looked too.

"Took you long enough to get here..." Came the voice of Colleen who had been Jessie's foster mother and almost like an aunt.

Colleen came into view and I was shocked when Ms. Holden came from the other direction, both holding guns.

I heard shouts and gunfire from the back of the building...where Gibbs and McGee had gone.

Colleen walked over to Jessie and put the gun to the side of her head. Jessie tensed and looked at me, but still said not a word.

"Don't hurt her. We can..." I began my eyes not leaving Jessie.

"Really, Tony, We can talk about this..." Colleen began.

I saw out of the corner of my eye that Gibbs and McGee were right behind them. I couldn't move, because if I did Colleen would hurt Jessie. One wrong move and Jessie or both girls could be hurt.

"DiNozzo..." Gibbs began and looked at the two kidnappers.

"What's the matter, Tony? Don't want to try and play the hero?" Colleen asked.

"Let the girls go." I told her.

"Let me think about that...NO!" Colleen said.

I don't know how Gibbs did it without hurting Jessie, but he was able to get Colleen away Jessie as Ziva moved forward to help McGee get Ms. Holden away from Laura.

"Jessie!" I ran forward to untie her and untied Laura.

Jessie seemed to have lost her voice, but wrapped her arms around me and began to sob. Laura looked ready to cry as well. She seemed unsure what to do, so I put my arms around her to. I now had both girls crying against me.

I was surprised when Fornell walked in the door.

"Little late, Fornell," Gibbs yelled with Colleen in handcuffs, he had expected Fornell to be there earlier seeing as he had called him while Tony was in the stairwell.

"How are they?" Ziva asked coming to stand beside me.

"I think this really shook them up." I told her.

"I'm calling, Abby." I heard McGee say.

I was surprised when Laura detached herself from me and put her arms around, Ziva. Ziva seemed just as surprised.

"Its okay, Care Bear; Laura," I asked and the other girl looked at me.

"What?" She whispered and I was glad she was talking.

"Are you two okay?" I asked.

"They just tied us up. Wh-why, Colleen was going to be my new mommy and now..." Laura didn't continue.

"How would you like to go to NCIS? It's where I work and Jessie's been there." I was talking to Laura and she just nodded letting go of Ziva.

I was forming a plan and if things worked out...let's just say Laura might be happier.

"Okay." Laura said taking Ziva's hand and I picked up Jessie.

"Boss..." I began as Gibbs came over with McGee.

"How are they?" Gibbs asked.

"Jessie hasn't said a word, but Laura said that those two just tied them up." I told him.

I looked at Jessie, she had stopped crying, and her grip on me had loosened. She was asleep.

"All right, let's get back to NCIS." Gibbs said and we headed for the car.

Gibbs in the driver's seat, McGee in the passenger's seat up front, Ziva behind McGee, Laura in the middle and me behind Gibbs still holding Jessie.

"We'll have Ducky..." I began.

"Who's Ducky?" Laura asked.

"He's an M...doctor who works at NCIS." I said.

"Oh." Was Laura's only reply.
