Sorry about the late update. I got a bit discouraged by the lack of reviewers. Thank you to those who did though.
There will be more Tiva in the next chapter!
Tsari
XOXO
Tony DiNozzo had been pacing in front of his desk for over an hour he arrived to find a very tired McGee at his desk trying desperately to locate the petty officer's girlfriend. Gibbs had received a call from the FBI shortly after Abby had tried to run Katelyn Wilson's DNA through the database. The FBI informed the team that Katelyn Wilson was one their most wanted list for illegal Arms dealing. The situation had spiralled out of control from there. In true fashion the FBI raided her house, only to find her gone with only a few of her belongings. All this, while most of the NCIS team slept soundly.

Tony glanced nervously over at the elevator again then down at his watch. It had been nearly one and a half hours since he had called Ziva. 'What could she be doing?' He thought. 'Don't go there DiNozzo!' the other side of his brain countered. He sighed and looked back over at McGee. He watched as McGee typed, all the while looking back to see the annoyed face of his boss who was currently leaning over his shoulder. "You got anything, McGee?" he said from time to time. This only prompted McGee to further go on about something Gibbs could not understand.
A sharp 'ding' took Tony's eyes away from McGee and swiftly back to the elevator. He witnessed Ziva walk through the elevator doors with a huge grin. Her hair was slightly askew but of than that she looked as beautiful as ever.
"Where have you been?" Tony asked slyly.
She avoided eye contact with him for a moment before answering "I told you, I had some things to take care of."
"Well ya missed kind of a lot" Tony said trying to appear cool about the situation.
"Hey Ziva" McGee chimed in.
"McGee" she nodded.
"It turns out that Katelyn is on the FBI's most wanted list. She disappeared last night. Abby and I are checking her phone and credit cards. No hits yet. We are still trying"
"Where's Gibbs?"
"Right here" Gibbs said out of nowhere "we missed you Ziva"
"Sorry Gibbs" Ziva muttered, playing with her hair.
When Ziva diverted her eyes off the floor she noticed the extra large Caf-Pow in his hands; obviously off to see Abby. Ziva sighed as she tried to remember a time when Abby had a good night's sleep. The cheerful Goth basically lived on caffeine.
As if sensing there was a CafPow nearby, Abby came happily bounding towards them at a great speed.
"I found it!" she screamed, skipping towards McGee. Before he could say anything she had wheeled his chair away and hijacked his computer. McGee only sat there, dumbfounded at what had taken place.
"She had another cell phone!" she took a deep breath before continuing. "That's why we didn't suspect her. She uses this other phone for her 'business' deals. I'm tracing it now"
The team grabbed their gear and were heading to the elevator just as Abby yelled "She's at corner of Smithe and North. According to this it is an abandoned warehouse."
Abby sighed and went over to retrieve her well earned Caf-Pow that had been left idol on Gibbs' desk. "Good job Abs." She mimicked, laughing at herself for doing it.
***
An abandon warehouse stood at the corner of Smithe and North just as Abby had proclaimed. It was quiet similar in size to the one that Kate and the team had been on the day she was killed. They weren't taking any chances this time. Gibbs surveyed the area before calling Abby who was to give him the exact location of the women. He signalled to his half his team to go around the back way while the other go around the front. Gibbs sensed the tension between two of his officers and decided it would be best to separate them. He had every intention of giving them a stern lecture after the day was through.
"McGee, Ziva cover the back. DiNozzo and I are heading around the front"
McGee and Ziva nodded obligingly and ran to where they were told, their guns positioned at the ready.
The warehouse itself was more like an abandoned airplane hangar than the usual warehouse. From where they stood Ziva and McGee had a view of pretty much the whole area though about a dozen large crates blocked their view of most of it. They could clearly hear at least three people chatting casually, unaware about their current predicament. They talked in a language that was clearly not English and even Ziva was having trouble picking up some of it. From somewhere on the other side of the building Gibbs moved into focus and caught Ziva's eye. He nodded as a sign to her and McGee to approach the suspects.
Ziva started to move closer to the suspects, followed closely by McGee. She went closer before she stopped abruptly and gasped. The flag of Israel was hanging off one of the crates, smudged with dirt then set alight. A tear escaped from the corner of her eye but within seconds the fire had once again returned and she was more determined than ever.
Guns held strong, the NCIS team sprang from behind the crates and surprised their suspects.
"NCIS, Put your hands in the air."
The two women in the group obliged, slowly standing and raising their hands as per instruction. While the single man with a backpack just leapt to his feet and started is rapid get away towards the door. Tony and McGee started after him with Tony in the lead. The man got half way there before pulling a small semi-automatic from his bag. He swiftly turned and shot blindly at the two NCIS agents behind him. The only thing that was heard after that was a loud scream.
Hmm... sorry I like cliff-hangers! The next chapter will be up soon provided you review. Please review it's not that difficult.
Thanks for reading!
