Thank you all for reading and please review.
I do not know NCIS or anything Associated.
Tali stares at her uncle she removes the knife from his neck tears running down her cheek. She looks up at her grandpa "Kate's in the house with the man that took us..." Tali heart drops at the sound of the gunfire.
"Kate!" She jumps off of her uncle tears rolling down her cheek running in the direction of the house but her grandpa catches her.
"Blossom, you can't go in there" Tali was fighting her grandpa getting out of his grip before McGee gets her where she breaks down in her uncle's arms while his heart was breaking thinking about what happen in there, the shots was the last thing to ring in the air.
Gibbs heartfelt like someone just ran over it. " Stay with her..." Gibbs says before he was cut off when Tony comes on the line, his voice was far from comforting.
Meanwhile
The man who took them end up across Kate's shoulders. She hits him a few times in the gut with her elbow, before he hits her in the stomach with the butt of the gun causing her to moan in pain.
She slams her heel down against his right foot. He loses his balance and grip on the gun sending it sliding across the floor.
He falls to the ground taking her with him, they rolled until he was on top of her.
"I like this position already" He says in a husky voice, she takes her opening and sends a punch straight to his chin knocking him off of her.
She crawls for the gun while he pulls her closer to him by her ankle. has he pulls out Kate's knife.
" Aren't we prepared little girl" He mocks before her free foot slammed into his face causing him to release her from his grip.
He gets to his feet charging at her with the knife she grabs the gun and rolls on her back.
Images of her sister downstairs and the names was all that ran through her mind while she empty the barrel.
Her eyes forces shut, the aftershock of the gun, sending a burning sensation through her arms. It was a good sign it means that she was alive.
He's lifeless body falls on top of her pinning her with the shock expression that she would never be able to erase from her mind.
She stiffens, paralyzed for a minute before she rolls him off of her, she gets on her elbows, staring at the man in terror, she crawls backwards gaining her breath, the gun still in her hand.
when the door gets busted in, Kate turns her gun towards the door where it was aimed at her father.
Tony's eyes widen when he see's the man on the floor, his daughter with a gun in her hands. "Ninja, it's okay, it all over" He says, he leans down grabbing the gun, but her grip was firm on it.
Her mother wraps her arms around her. "Little one, let it go, you're safe you don't need it anymore" She lets go of before holding onto her mother tightly but the tears in her eyes she refused to let them fall. Even though the burning sensation was killing her.
"Ninja, it's okay..." She stares up at him, he wraps his arms around her but she didn't respond she just stiffed "Tali, we have to find her" She says, holding back her tears, pulling away from her father.
""Mcgee, We got Kate, she's fine, Tali..."McGee cuts him off on the radio. "We got her, The shots..." tony cuts him off. "they wasn't towards little red" he says before going over to the man. He checks for a pulse which he no longer had.
"Ima-leh Tali needs you, come on... " Kate says, while getting herself up from the floor. Tony tries to wrap an arm around her but she avoids him. "Tali needs you right now" Tony nods before She walks past him running down stairs to get her sister.
Tali runs to Kate"You okay, what happen...You're bleeding" Kate looks down at her shirt swallowing hard.
"It's not mine"Kate forces a smile, hugging her sister "He won't be hurting anyone anymore, I promise" Tali holds kate tight, letting a few of her tears fall.
"It's okay, " Tali nods. "I was going to say the same thing to you," She says, when her parents run over to them. "Mini Zee" Tony says causing Tali to let go of her sister and charges Tony and Ziva. "Abba-leh, Ima-leh I knew you found us" She says tears falling down her cheeks.
Tony kisses the top of her head, while his wife holds their daughter close. "Ninja come here," He jests, he wanted her with him, where she was safe. He wanted to know she was okay, but she shakes her head causing him to frown, and his heart breaks a little.
She stares out, in the darkness, "Kit Kat, you okay" McGee asks, She snaps out of her trace before nodding. "I'm fine, Uncle McGee, I'm a ninja remember he couldn't hurt me. "She says forcing a smile. while her grandfather stares at her with these eyes she couldn't lie to.
McGee hugs her tightly before kissing her on the top of her head." You're safe, I'm proud of you and Tali" Kate smiles, he walks over to check on Tali, her father was staring at her and she could sense her mother's eyes on her at times.
She thinks about the man, that had taken them. the man she killed upstairs, She was torn up inside, she wanted to cry, but not here, not in front of Tali. " Short stack. " he gives her a look. "I'm fine, really, I'm still here and so is tali I think that's more than enough, to classify me has fine" She says he wraps his arms around her.
"Short stack, if you need to talk. If you find yourself not so fine. My door is open" She nods holding onto him.
" I know Grandpa" He kisses the top of her head. " I love you short stack, it's going to be alright i promise, " She nods, holding back the tears.
"I love you too, " She says when her parents and Tali walks over to her.
Ziva wraps an arm around her kissing the top of the head. "can we leave" Ziva nods "Yes, but we have to go down to NCIS and they we can go home" She says, She nods looking at her father who Tali was holding onto.
"Ninja, come here" Kate gives a weak smile.
"It's okay. I just want to get out of here, So please tell me we have a car" She says, causing Tony to nod, he see's the blood that was on her shirt, she was hurting and she wasn't letting anyone in.
"Yeah we have a car" He says crushed, Ziva watches the interaction of the two, and something was off, and she knew how much it hurt the two. Ziva wraps an arm around her daughter.
"Lets get you two out of here" She leans into her mother causing Tony to feel like someone was cutting his heart with a sheet of paper.
Kate takes a seat on her uncle desk's staring straight ahead, thinking about everything, wearing a NCIS sweats. Tony walks up to her taking a seat on the edge of the desk.
"McGee just called, Umm...Ninja I don't know how to tell you something like this..." Kate looks her father in his eyes. " They found Bodies, of other girls. " Tony nods,
"Don't tell Tali, it's more haunting if you know the truth" She says, thinking that Tali and her could have been next, that they would just be another few names on a sicks man's List.
Tony see's her eyes begin to water. He moves over to the back of the desk, She gets up from her seat" Ninja, I got you nothing can ever hurt " He opens his arms, she stares at him for a moment
"I need air" She walks away, tony follows behind her causing her to sigh.
"Alone, Dad. I'm fine I survived all this, I'm sure I can held being in a federal building check on tali and A.J" She snaps before going to the stairs. He's eyes felt like they were on fire.
Tali forces a little smile "That's all Ima-leh" Ziva looks at The agent who nods, Ziva wraps an arm around her
"Come on, Tatetaleh" Tali holds close to her mother.
"Where's Kate?" Ziva kisses the top of her head. "She wanted to change out those clothes, and to take a quick shower" Tali looks concern, that her sister shouldn't be by herself.
"Your Abba-leh is with her, Okay, she's safe so are you" Tali nods before tightening her grip on her.
"You want to talk about it"Tali shakes her head.
"That's all, I wasn't in the house" Ziva stops, turning her daughter's shoulder to face her. "Tateleh, You wasn't meant to be in that house, neither was Kate, but it all work out, I am proud of you and kate, you took care of one another, and brought back both of girls" Tali hugs her tightly,
"Why, doesn't she go to abba-leh" Ziva freezes, before kissing her on the top of the head. "I don't know, but someone has been asking for you" tali walks into the lab. " OH My GOD i am glad you're okay" Abby says before crushing Tali who holds onto her aunt smiling, glad to be home.
"I'm fine, is kate down here" She shakes her head.
"I been looking for her but I keep missing her. " Tali smiles looking behind her Aunt to see, Jenny who hugs her tightly.
"I told Matt and A.J you would be fine, I told them you would only be gone for a few hours, I said that you would..." Tali smiles cutting her off.
"I get it, I'm fine" Jenny nods "of course you are, your tali the defender of man,"
" Tali blinks a few times smiling, Ziva see's Matt waiting to the side.
"Tateleh, I'm going to check on you brother and sister will you be alright" Abby sees the two staring at each other.
"umm, me and Jenny will come with you, I need to see Mini Tony" Abby says, Jenny smirks before going over to her aunt who hugs her.
"I'll be fine" Matt gives a little smile. "I got her Aunt Ziva" Tali gives a little smirk . "I can take care of myself" Ziva smiled
"I'll be in the squadroom, please come straight up" tali nods. the three walk out. Matt walks over to her. "You okay Tigger" She smiles nodding.
"I'm fine" He stares into her chocolate eyes, that were masking the tears "No you're not" He whispers while wrapping his arms around her. He holds her close to him stroking her hair.
" I'm fine WI-Fi, really" He kisses her forehead "I'm glad because I can't lose you" She gives a little smile "why" He stares at her like if she was crazy.
"You're my best friend, I need My tigger, you know why" She shakes her head he smiles "Because Tigger are a wonderful thing, and You're the only one grr." She laughs hugging him closely. " I can't lose you either WI-FI" He smiles "I'll be here for infinity and Beyond" She smiles. " I love you matt" she says in a whisper, that most people won't be able to hear.
He smiles, 'I love you too, Tali and one day we both be able to say it outloud enough for we could hear it.' He thinks to himself holding her close.
Kate walks into the Gym to see her brother giving the bag a beat down. " Put your shoulder into it" She calls causing him to turn around glad to see she was okay.
"Hey, are you two done with umm your statements" She nods
"Well Tali was still giving her's" She walks over to him, he turns around giving her a quick hug before pulling away.
"i'm glad you're okay" She smiles , before pulling him back in a hug, she gives a little smile when he's grip around her tightens. She can tell everything that happen was taking a toll on him, She pulls away with a little smirk.
" I bet I could kick your butt still" He smirks, looking at the ring "you think, well you have been through a lot that stress must be interfering with your judgement. " she gives a little smile.
"Ha ha, but your fist up and get ready..." Tony walks into the gym
"Ninja, Buddy come on your mom and sister is waiting up stairs. Abby wants to see you, before we go home" Kate gives her brother a little smile.
"until next time" she teases she wraps an around his shoulder, under different circumstances he would shrug it off, but not today.

"I would put money on Ninja" Tony says, causing kate just stares at him before looking away.
