An Agent's Weakness
"Can't believe that she's back," Matt sighed as Gibbs placed a dish of barbecued chicken in front of her.
"Who? Sophie?" Gibbs asked. "I knew she'd be back eventually."
"You're remarkably calm about this, doesn't it bother you that this could be the time that Holly goes for good?" Matt asked Gibbs.
"It does," Gibbs sighed. "I already lost one daughter to that family. I don't want to lose another. Matt, you're like my own and I intend to keep you safe at all costs."
"Gibbs, the van was found abandoned in the Potomac, Ziva walked into the kitchen. "No prints no nothing. I'm sorry."
"No no it's fine," Gibbs replied. "Do you want some chicken?"
"Gibbs are you okay?" Ziva asked. "You seem..."
"What?" Gibbs asked.
"Too nice," Ziva replied.
"I can be nice," Gibbs nodded.
"I'm going to call Ducky," Ziva replied.
"Nice thinking Ziva," Matt high fived the Israeli.
"Thank you Matilda," Ziva replied.
"Don't push your luck," Matt warned.
NCIS
Holly awoke on a steel frammed bed lying on a mattress and half covered with a fluffy blanket.
"Is this some kind of dream?" Holly asked herself.
"No this is not a dream Miss Gibbs," Alejandro Rivera was sat in an armchair in the opposite corner of the room.
"You, you killed Rosie!" Holly snarled in recognition.
"I did, and I might just say the old bat had it coming," Rivera replied icily.
"Where am I? Who else is here?" Holly asked, rubbing her head.
"Well, I can't say where you are but I can say that a lot of people who really don't like you are here," Alejandro replied. "Chip Sterling, a good few members of the Brotherhood of Doubt."
"When my dad finds you he will..." Holly swore.
"Enough with the empty threats Holly, you dad has yet to touch me," Sophie replied, walking into the room and shutting the door behind her. "Here's how it's going to work. We are going to kill you and then we are going to place your body in your dad's house."
"How will you do that?" Holly asked.
"Easily, your dad is never home and also never locks his doors," Sophie replied. A chill ran through Holly's body as she realised that everything that Sophie was saying was true.
"What are you going to do then?" Holly asked.
"Many things however, many of these things will be delivered post mortem," Sophie nodded.
"Wait...what?" Holly sat up slightly. Sophie drew out a long knife and plunged it into Holly's side.
She heard the child scream before turning to Alejandro.
"How did that feel?" Alejandro asked.
"Oh that felt very good," Sophie replied.
NCIS
"Boss, Vance has something to tell you," Tony watched Vance go over to Gibbs.
"I put a tracking device in the baseball in case Jared tried to sneak out again," Vance explained. "Jared says Holly still had it when she was kidnapped and it wasn't in the van."
"I see," Gibbs said. "So according to your tracking device, where is the ball now?"
"At a warehouse just down the road from the school," Vance replied.
"TEAM!" Gibbs felt a surge of energy. "Come on then! We're gonna save Holly!"
