This chapter is for Chicken....She gave me the Awsomest Tate Icon


It had been three years since that Christmas, when Kate had walked out on her father turning her back on him. Little did she know that her father knew now he had been wrong. However it was unlikely he would be able to ever tell her, as Caitlin and Anthony DiNozzo had been missing for almost two years. The only thing that Matt and the rest of NCIS knew was that the DiNozzo's had received a call during the night and by morning had up and left. Leaving everything and every one behind only a few of their things had been taken mainly their clothing. NCIS had spent more time and money then any other case in trying to find them. They had all had been told to give up looking for them in work hours or they would lose their jobs. This didn't stop them from looking though, if anything it had made them become more discreet. Never telling any one unless they could be really trusted and no one but Abby, McGee, Jen and Matt knew all the information.

Matt sighed and looked up from his computer the anniversary of his sisters disappearance was coming up three days away in fact he wanted more then anything to change that to find her and not let another year go by another year of wondering if she as ok. He looked around the bull pen so much had changed since then, resting his chin on his hands he stared into space not paying attention to anything. The only thing that brought him out of his thoughts was his phone ringing he lazily picked it up and answered it was another case. Sighing he got the directions and told his team to pack up that they were heading out to the naval bass.


Tony sat in the hospital chair in his lap was his wife fast asleep he wrapped a finger around one of her curls then let it fall off naturally. Smiling as she stirred only a little he lent down and kissed the tip of her nose before looking up laying in the bed in front of him was his one year old daughter Cassie the other light of his life. Lifting Kate up he laid her next to their daughter, before getting up and walking over to the only other bed in the room. His little sister opened her eyes and smiled weakly at him.

"Can't sleep?" He asked she shook her head and patted beside her.

"Tony why do you stay? You have a family you shouldn't be living here it's not the place for Cassie" said Eva Tony shook his head.

"Eva nice try but you are my sister so I'm staying till your better and its our choice" said Tony poking her. Eva laughed.

"Well that could take a while and last time I eavesdropped no one from DC knows where you are, you told me you had three god children there and a brother in law as well as friends. Why leave all that with out so much as an explanation when you haven't seen me in years?" Eva asked Tony smiled and lent over so he could whisper in her ear.

"Because you are family" he whispered then coming back Eva shook her head and looked at her big brother then over at her niece and sister in law.

"So are they" said Eva looking at her big brother Tony raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"They are old enough and ugly enough to look after themselves and our godchildren have their parents" Eva nodded and smiled.

"I have one request" she said taking his hand

"Ok what?" he asked titling his head to the side while looking at Eva she was scheming something he knew and she more then likely knew he had caught on, it was the way they were and had always been.

"You leave Cassie here with me tomorrow and take that wife of yours out for the day you two have been here since the day after my niece was conceived minus the few days after she was born but you were still here in the hospital. Come on Big brother you deserve one day out with Kate" said Eva Tony shook his head and smirked he then sat back and folded his arms.

"Fine I will do that only if you can prove you can entertain a one year old while in bed" Eva smirked and pointed to the TV on the wall.

"that and I have a heap of toys and many people on hand if I need help. You take that lovely wife of yours out then come back and do what ever you want ok" Tony sighed knowing that when a DiNozzo no matter if it be his wife daughter or even his sister made up their minds there was no changing it.

"Fine I'll take her out now get some sleep your going to need it" Eva grinned and nodded laying down and closing her eyes smiling as drifted off to sleep.


Matt was sitting at his desk working on the case that had been called in that morning, normally cases took his mind off Kate and Tony but today this case, it wasn't working. Nothing seemed to work anymore, his mind was always on his little sister; where was she? Was she safe? Or was she hurt? This and many more questions swirled around his head so wrapped up in his own thoughts he didn't see Abby standing in front of him.

"Matt we'll find them don't give up now we have to stay strong I know and I can feel that they are safe. Don't ask me how I just know." Matt looked up and nodded he smiled slightly and asked her what he had for her. Abby turned around to her husband who nodded and brought the information she had up on the plasma.

"Uh well it seems to be that it started out as a game, asphyxiophilia other wise known as erotic asphyxiation, I know ew but I did have a few friends years ago who thought it was the most sensual thing ever not that I ever tried it I'm just saying" Abby prattled on for a while longer before Matt held up his hand.

"Anything else that can help us Ab's" He asked Abby blushed and nodded bringing up something else.

"As I said it started out as a game and we know that from the semen Ducky found on her, but that quickly changed, Ducky surmised from the skin under her fingernails she was trying to get who ever was on top of her off but they had other plans and continued to strangle her till she lost all oxygen, then from the marks on her body it seems that they raped her then redressed her again," she said.

"Abby doesn't this remind you of a case we had with Gibbs a few years back when Ziva was here?" McGee asked getting up to stand next to his wife. Abby grinned obviously waiting for her husband to make the connection.

"Yep but there is one major difference care to guess what that is?" she asked Tim looked at up the plasma going over the pictures.

"They redress them as civilians" he said Abby nodded.

"Well that's part of it any way, the case with Gibbs they redressed them only to a point, this guy or who ever dresses them fully every last little detail is thought of. And unlike the last one he places them all in their beds. There is another scene out there some where waiting to be found and I'm guessing that, it will be where all the evidence is as he wont know you have some one as smart as me on the team and he wouldn't have cleaned it up" Abby said proudly Matt nodded and told two of the newer agents to go back out to their victims home and have a good look around.


Matt walked out of the interrogation room the following day he had just finished proving to their one and only suspect that he knew what they had done, how it had happened, now it was time to do the paper work something he knew none of his team enjoyed but they got their work done quietly. Matt was about to go out for lunch when Tim's computer started beeping away.

"What is it Tim?" he asked McGee typed away on his computer for a minute then bought it up on the plasma.

"One of Tony's credit cards that we had under surveillance has just been used, at a fancy restaurant in California" said Tim. Matt nodded at least it was a start something new the card had been inactive for a long while so it might have been stolen but at least it was something.

"I'll work on it go have lunch and I'll see what I can come up with" said Tim Matt nodded and started to walk out when his phone rang.
