NCIS

Lexi felt herself waking, but took several seconds trying to remember what had happened. She knew she had been talking with Abby, but after that things were slightly fuzzy.

Alexis had seen more than a few movies, growing greatly since she had met her father, and she saw this scenario many times. The younger DiNozzo couldn't see through the blindfold, and tasted the adhesive the moment she moved her tongue.

Attempting to move her arms and legs proved her theory right. Someone had kidnapped her. Once again, she cursed her step-father for his 'little lesson' when she realized that someone had obviously asked her something and retaliated violently at her non-response.

The slap made her want to scream, and was followed someone using her hair backwards. The man's voice yelled in her ear. The voice was muffled, just like her music usually sounded over the last few months or so.

She laughed to herself, realizing that even if she wanted to do so, she couldn't have responded. These guys were either brutal or stupid.

She could only hope it was the latter.

NCIS

Abby woke up to see her Timmy standing over her. She could also see Gibbs lurking in the corner.

"What happened?" She questioned groggily.

"A jogger found you unconscious in the park. It looks like someone hit you in the back of the head. Tony's looking over the scene, swearing he's going to kill whoever did this. How are you feeling?" McGee asked.

"I'm tired and my head hurts. There's something though. I know there is something hinky. It's nibbling at the back of my head. Something that I need…"

"Abs." Gibbs cut her off, "You're okay. We'll find whoever did this and…."

"Lexi!" Abby nearly screamed, and immediately both men turned to her.

"Oh no! I was talking to Lexi. Where is she? Is she okay? Can I see her?" Abby continued to ramble. McGee went to comfort Abby while Gibbs pulled out his cell phone.

NCIS

Ziva David walked down the hall to Lexi's room. She had seen her walk in while she had been working up the courage to tell Tony that he was going to be her father.

"Lexi, do you want something to eat for supper?"

Ziva didn't hear any movement and thought that she may have been sleeping. Ziva opened the door slightly just to check.

No one was there, and it was 1930h.

Something was wrong. The pregnant assassin pulled her phone and dialed the first number on her speed dial, Tony DiNozzo.

NCIS

Anthony DiNozzo was getting frustrated. He had gone over the scene slowly and meticulously. There was absolutely nothing that showed what happened to his surrogate sister, not to mention, no word had come that Abby was okay from his boss.

Ziva's number appeared on his cell when his phone began ringing. "Ziva, hey. Abby's hurt and there is nothing here to show what's happened. Sorry…"

Tony ignored her trying to cut him off, saying, "Tony."

"…about not calling but I'm trying to find anything to tell me who hit Abby over the head, and…"

"Tony…"

"Ziva, I'll call you back. Boss is calling and you know his rule about being unreachable…"

He missed the frustrated scream from Ziva as she dialed his number once again.

"DiNozzo."

"Tony," Gibbs said in a gentle voice, cluing his agent in on the fact that he needed to brace himself for bad news.

"Abby's alright, right Boss?"

"Abby's awake, Tony, and she told us what she remembers about the man hitting her over the head."

Tony ignored Ziva's call, "Okay, Boss. Anything we can…"

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs' bark of authority caught his attention.

"What Boss?"

"Abby was talking to Lexi when she was knocked unconscious. Where is your daughter, DiNozzo?" His voice had softened as he delivered the blow.

Tony hit end and answered the next call from Ziva, "Ziva, where is Alexis?"

"That is what I was trying to say, she is not here. I went to see what she wanted to have to eat and she was not there."

Tony breathed in deeply. "My daughter's been kidnapped, Ziva."

He didn't even try to stop the tear from falling down his face, before reverting back to the mask that growing up with his father taught him how to do.

In mere seconds, Tony went from grieving father to vengeful agent, knowing that was exactly what his daughter needed from him.

NCIS

Lexi screamed out as she felt the tape being ripped off her lips, before telling the man on no uncertain terms, "If you want me to answer one of your questions, take the damn blindfold off."

She could hear his mumbling, but couldn't make it into words. She desperately needed to see his lips to know what he was saying.

It took seconds before she was once again slapped across the face.

"Take off the blindfold and maybe I could answer your questions, moron. I'm partially deaf. I have no idea what you are saying to me."

She expected something to happen, anything. She expected pain, torture, or maybe the off-chance that he would take off the blindfold to get the answers. What Alexis didn't expect was the deafening silence as she was left in the room to stew, not even hearing the rustling she had when she first woke up.

"Hello! Anyone there? Someone wanna help me out here? I've got school tomorrow. Hey moron. Yeah you. Where are you?"

She had been afraid of the silence for years, ever since she began to lose her hearing. It was why she always listened to music. Lexi had tried to memorize every voice she came in contact with, hoping that one day she could add it to the lips when she did eventually go deaf.

Hours later, she felt someone undo whatever was holding her legs together. Alexis was then lead elsewhere to another room.

The man sat her down, once again, tying her legs before removing the blindfold.

Lexi took in as much about the man as she could. Short, spiky, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and he looked like some of the men in Ziva's photo album that she had taken one afternoon when she was bored.

Being able to read lips made all the difference, the man was asking where Officer Ziva David was.

Alexis had a plan, and one that was definitely going to show that she was Tony DiNozzo's kid. Inwardly she smiled at her own genius. Her hearing impairment may actually work out to her advantage here.

"Who would name their kid Ziva David?" She pronounced Ziva's last name like American's used David in the Star of David.

"Not David," the man said, before trying to hold out the 'eee' sound when saying, "David."

"You didn't say David David. You said Ziva David. I'm assuming Ziva's a girl's name."

"No, it's David" the man pronounced Ziva's name correctly before, "D-A-V-I-D"

All it took was a confused look from the teenager for the man to realize that it was spelled exactly the same.

"So, you're looking for a David David? Someone really needs to work on choosing his name." She knew that eventually the man would get angry and frustrated, but she also knew that gave her dad and Gibbs time to find her.

Lexi kept it going for a minute and a half, before the man put a gun against her head. She knew he was about ready to snap.

"Even if I did know this person, whoever it is, David or Ziva," she had to keep up appearances of ignorance. It was a good thing she was practiced at hiding things. "why would I give you a reason to kill me moron?"

"I'll kill you if you don't," spat the rough voice.

This time she smiled for real, "At least then I'll get to watch. I wonder who will kill you deader, Gibbs or my dad. They're both lethal when they need to be."
