THE BULLPEN...
3 1/2 WEEKS LATER...
Everyone had been working hard for the past 3 1/2 weeks to find Abby, but kept running into dead ends.
One of the neighbors had remembered a general description of Abby's kidnapper a couple of days later.
A sketch artist was brought in and they had put out a notice, but nothing had turned up.
Last night the team had been forced to go home, they had been practically living at NCIS since Abby was taken.
Tim was still blaming himself and it didn't seem to matter what anyone told him. He had told his family that Abby was missing the morning after she had been taken.
So Sarah when she wasn't busy, she would come to NCIS to sit with her brother and offer her support. No one was surprised when Sarah and Tim walked into the Bullpen.
Everyone could tell that with each day that Abby was missing...it tore Tim up more and he was now losing hope that they would find her.
Everyone would not say out loud how worried they were.
Not a word was said as Sarah took the extra chair by Tim's desk; they just turned on their computers and started the day.
It wasn't until Tony let out a shout of surprise that they all looked up.
"Boss, I've got something!" Tony yelled and Tim was the first one behind Tony.
"What is it, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked as he and Ziva made their way over to the desk.
Tim then pushed Tony to the side and started typing at the keyboard.
"A...an e-mail," Tony replied.
"McGee, you're not working this case!" Gibbs barked.
"I'm going to track this e-mail and then I'm going to..." Tim began and though Gibbs tried, to pull him away, but Tim refused to move.
The e-mail read:
I know that you know by now who I am, but it is too late. I have been watching for a while and have been waiting for my chance back at NCIS.
I was surprised to see that Abby was pregnant, but that does not matter. ABIGAIL SCIUTO, WILL BE DEAD AND SO WILL THE CHILD SHE CARRIES. YOU WILL NEVER FIND HER BODY.
You shouldn't have tried to get rid of me and...Tony DiNozzo? I sent this to you for a reason. You should have stayed in prison, which is where you belong.
I hated you from the moment I saw you...
I just thought I would send this e-mail to let you know that she is almost gone and that I will be taking care of that very soon.
There is no use trying to track this e-mail Agent McGee, because you will be too late to do anything for her.
Things could have turned out differently if she would have left things alone and had not tried to clear your name, Tony DiNozzo.
That is where the e-mail ended; Sarah had been looking over Tim's shoulder and now looked horrified.
"Do you know who sent the e-mail?" Sarah asked. "There's only one person who would send this e-mail..." Tim began without looking at his sister, but did not finish.
"Charles 'Chip' Sterling, he tried to frame me a few years ago." Tony said seeing the look on Sarah's face.
Tim did not pay attention any more attention, but remained on his task.
Tony and Ziva watched as Gibbs took the stairs two at a time...they knew he was going to see, Director Vance.
"Gibbs, is going to see the director, this is not going to turn out well..." Ziva said, because Gibbs looked beyond mad. "Do you have anything yet?" Tony asked as Sarah, Ziva and he watched.
"He has made it difficult, but I'm going to find out where he is. Then I'm going to make him regret trying to take my wife and my child." Tim said in a voice Ziva and Tony had never heard from him before.
It was only a few minutes later when Gibbs came back down the stairs...
"I've got a location!" Tim yelled and Gibbs moved faster.
"GRAB YOUR GEAR!" Gibbs yelled and they all began to grab their gear.
"I'm going." Tim stated and glared at Gibbs as if daring him to say no, finally Gibbs just nodded.
A FARM JUST OUTSIDE OF DC...
After getting other teams to help them they finally reached the barn.
Getting out of the car Tim began run to the barn. It seemed he didn't care if anything happened to him, as long as they saved, Abby.
"McGee!" Gibbs yelled, but Tim had just slipped inside the barn.
Gibbs, Tony and Ziva soon followed Tim into the barn.
Abby was sitting in the center of the room tied to a chair and barley seemed conscious.
"I have to admit I'm not surprised that you found out where I was, but you are just in time for the show." Chip said with a gun to Abby's head and Tim had his gun pointed right at him.
"Drop the gun!" Gibbs yelled.
"Gibbs?" Abby's asked just above a whisper.
It was a surprise that with all the stress and everything related she had not lost the baby...yet.
There were bruises on her face and they knew there were other injuries.
Chip cocked his gun and looked ready to shoot Abby, but Tim fired his gun first...
Chip fell to the ground dead.
"Abby!" Tim yelled running to her side and then began to untie her.
"Timmy?" Abby asked barley opening her eyes.
"Get the paramedics in here now!" Gibbs barked.
"Yeah, Abs, it's me. I'm so glad to see you, stay with me, all right?" Tim asked putting a hand to her cheek, as the tears ran down her face.
Ziva, Tony and Gibbs stood watching, they couldn't seem to move. Then paramedics were beside Tim and Abby.
Tim picked Abby up and put her on the stretcher. Tony, Ziva and Gibbs followed as Abby was led out of the barn and watched Tim climb into the ambulance to ride with them.
The sirens came to life and the ambulance sped away.
"We better go get Sarah, so we can tell her what is going on and take her to the hospital." Tony said as he headed for the car they had come in Ziva right behind him.
BETHESDA HOSPITAL...
A LITTLE WHILE LATER...
It was a while later when Tony, Ziva and Sarah showed up.
There was no sight of Tim, so the three made their way to the information desk.
"We're looking for Abby McGee; she was brought in not long ago." Tony said.
The person behind the desk told them where to go and they made their way to the waiting room.
It ended up that Abby had gone into labor in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. It was a half an hour later that Gibbs, Ducky and Palmer showed up.
"How's Abs?" Gibbs asked. "She went into labor on the way here, boss. Other than that we don't know anything." Tony replied.
Then six of them found seats around the waiting room.
Ziva slipped her hand into Tony's and laid her head on his shoulder. She wanted to talk to him, but this was not the time.
Right now they had to be here for Abby and Tim. Ziva's eyes began to drift close...
"Tim!" Came Sarah's voice and Ziva jerked away. "How's Abby, Is the baby okay?" Gibbs asked.
"Abby, was bruised pretty bad. It looked like he had been giving her just enough food and water to keep her alive, but...she was TORTURED. There were bruises everywhere, but where the baby was. Our daughter as soon as she was born was rushed off to NICU, because she's a month early." Tim told them, they could hear the pain in his voice and see it in his eyes as well.
It was obvious that Tim still blamed himself.
"She was found in time, Tim. From everything you have told me about her and since I've gotten to know her. She's a fighter and has fought this long. Plus with the two of you being fighters, your daughter will be too." Sarah told Tim as she wrapped her arms around her brother.
"I know this would have happened if I had taken her back to NCIS with me." Tim said with a tortured voice.
"This is not your fault, Tim." Gibbs told him. "
I have to get back to her before she wakes up; no one knows when that will be though. She's exhausted and in a critical state right now." Tim said and Sarah let go, the six watched as Tim headed back down the hall to be with Abby.
"If McGee wouldn't have shot him...I would have tortured him and then killed him myself." Ziva said anger lacing her voice and began to speak in Hebrew.
It sounded like she was cursing and no one could blame her.
Gibbs and Tony agreed that if Tim hadn't killed Chip each of them would have taken a shot at giving him a taste of his own medicine.
The six of them sat down again in silence.
"I wonder when we will get to visit her." Tony said breaking the silence, Ziva had once again laid her head on his shoulder.
Ziva had remembered everything from the day they had gone to Abby and Tim's apartment, Abby was alive and they were all relieved.
Though Abby wasn't out of the woods yet and neither was the baby.
Anything could happen and one or both of them could be lost.
