I hope you're enjoying this! Thanks for all the views and reviews. Thanks for your patience. I'm having real trouble finding time but as always Penny is there egging me on. Thanks Penny! This is for all the people who hate being trapped with the same people in the same place for a long time.

Jenny and Abby stalked into the hospital with six armed guards surrounding. Jenny looked fit to kill someone. Abby looked scared. The armed guards looked bored. The receptionist's eyes were wide as she took their names.

"Jenny Shepheard and Abby Scuito here for Ziva David and the mystery girl." snapped Jenny. The young receptionist gulped, nodded and started typing on her computer. Jenny scowled at the floor but looked up when she heard Gibbs running round the corner.

"Jen!" he said as he ran up next to her.

"Are you going to tell me why I got a call saying that Ziva and a young girl were in hospital and Abby and I had to come here under ARMED guard?" she moaned.

Gibbs sensed the anger in her voice and saw the flash in her eyes. He tried to keep his explanation short. "We were called to collect the body of a dead colonel and Ziva found a little girl. She was practically half dead. In one of her hands was an NCIS badge. In the other hand was this-" he said as he held out the scrap of paper. Jenny and Abby gasped when they saw it. "That's when the shots rang out."

"OMG, OMG, OMG!" said Abby as she jumped up and down. "Is Ziva OK?!!!"

"Yes, the bullet only grazed her arm, she is argueing with the doctor." said Gibbs. Abby relaxed when she heard this but still looked keyed up.

"And the child?" asked Jenny.

"Stable. She was stabbed but the knife did not go very far into her stomach. She's just shell shocked." nodded GIbbs.

"Can I go now?" moaned Jenny.

"Yes but I want you, Abby and Ziva to be under protective custody twenty-four seven." said Gibbs.

Jenny and Abby gasped. Their usually overactive jaws were given a good rest. Abby recovered first. "NO WAY!" she said.

"Yes way." said Gibbs as he pecked her on the cheek and turned her towards the door. He looked at Jenny and she reluctantly stalked towards the door. Gibbs stalked back to Ziva's ward.

As he appraoched he bed he heard "You idiot! I am well! It is just a bullet graze!" GIbbs smirked as he drew back the curatin. He saw Ziva, slouched on the bed, while a scared looking doctor stood beside her.

"Yes, Miss David," he said, "You can go home."

"It's Da-veed!" moaned Ziva as she stalked out of the ward. "Thanks!" she called over her shoulder.

"Better?" asked Gibbs.

"Yes." scowled Ziva.

Gibbs nodded at the armed guard behind him. "This is your armed guard." he said, "BE NICE!"

"Would I ever not?" asked Ziva as she flirtatiously flashed a smile at the guard. The guard gulped. He had heard about Ziva's reputation.

They all ended up in Abby's lab. It was split into three sections already so it was perfect. Jenny transported her office downstairs in the lift which earned her some glances. Ziva took her computer into the middle section which had a sofa in it. Abby had the first section which had major maspec and the rest of her famly in it. They all hated being there. The atmosphere was tense. They all knew that there could be an attack on their life's at any time. Questions ran through their heads. Why did someone want to hurt them? Why did someone want to hurt Gibbs? Who was the mystery girl? Abby was running the girl's DNA through AFIS. So far she had no luck.

About an hour later Gibbs walked into the lab. He was juggling several drinks. Everyone jumped up when they heard him and they grouped together into the first section of the lab. You could tell the difference between them by the drinks they had chose. Abby had her caf-pow. Ziva had a strawberry and banana shake. Jenny had a strong coffee with lots of sugar. GIbbs had a strong coffee - no sugar.

They all anxiously grabbed their drinks. "Any news?" asked Jenny.

"The girl is fine but she is not conscious yet. We have had not news on her attacker." said Gibbs.

He was just about to say more when Abby's computer beeped. "It's the girl's DNA!" she said as she jumped up and down in excitement. She looked slightly shocked when a security announcement popped up on her computer screen. "I don't have high enough SECURITY CLEARANCE!" she moaned.

Gibbs looked at Jenny. Jenny realised instantly that he wanted her to open the file. She stepped infront of the keyboard and started typing. Minutes later some pictures popped up on the screen.

One of the pictures was a picture of Jenny. The caption read 'Jenny Shepheard'. Another was a picture of Gibbs. The caption read 'Lee-roy Jethro GIbbs'. Underneath the two pictures was a pictuer of the mystery girl. The caption read 'Elizabeth Shepheard'. Jenny felt nasious and the familiar pit of fear in her stomach flared up. Gibbs grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the lift. Jenny felt herself being roughly shoved into the lift. She slammed into the sides. Gibbs flipped the switch to stop the lift. Jenny saw the anger in his eyes and gulped. This was not going to end well.
