REVIEW.


Chapter 57

(**Flashback**)

'Do you think your NCIS friends will find you?' Ari asked viciously.

'Yes. I'm guessing Gibbs is working his butt off right now to find me and Kate' Tony said confidently, forgetting about the bomb tied around his torso.

'We'll see about that' Ari said and left the room with his thugs.


At the NCIS building...

„We've got nothing! " Gibbs banged his head on his desk angrily. McGee stopped typing.

„What do you mean, boss? " McGee asked.

„I can't prove that Ari isn't the part of FBI!" Gibbs yelled angrily. Abby walked in.

"But I can" Abby said proudly, while folding her arms.

"You can?" McGee questioned. Abby nodded.

"Yup" She said enthusiastically. Gibbs stared at her.

"Abby, aren't you supposed to be finding the place where Tony and Kate are?" Gibbs hissed. Abby smirked.

"Patience, Gibbs. I researched on Ari a bit" Abby said happily. McGee lifted his head.

"Why does it seem to me that every time you say 'a bit' you mean 'a lot'?" McGee asked. Abby turned to him.

"McGee… Don't make me cancel tomorrow" Abby threatened. McGee looked guilty.

"Sorry" McGee bowed his head. Gibbs looked at Abby.

"Don't worry, Gibbs. I made an appointment for McGee and me at the Spa for tomorrow" Abby said. Gibbs waved with his head off.

"Anyways, it turns out Ari is a part of Al-Qaeda. He's not gathering information; he's spilling FBI's secrets to them!" Abby explained. Both McGee and Gibbs dropped their jaws.

"Abby, remind me to promote you" Gibbs said in fascination. Abby grinned.

"No problem, Gibbs" Abby smiled and walked away.

"McGee! Call Fornell for me!" Gibbs yelled and walked out.

"Yes, boss" McGee said and took the phone.

Tony and Kate…

Kate was lying on the floor weakly. Ari walked in, holding a camera again, and a knife, like the last time. He un-gagged her mouth.

"Hello, Caitlin" Ari said as he threw away the piece of cloth. Kate glared at him angrily.

"What did you do to Tony?" She asked furiously. Ari laughed.

"Anthony, Anthony, Anthony. Why do we always talk about him?" Ari walked across the room.

"You didn't answer my question" Kate said calmly.

"Anthony is fine. Well, if you can consider 'has a bomb tied to his chest that will explode in eight hours' fine" Ari laughed as he said this words.

Kate was in shock. She couldn't believe that Tony will be blown away 'till the morning.

"Why did you do that?" Kate asked, wishing so bad that she could choke Ari with her bare hands.

"Well, it could've been you. But, Anthony was willing to take the risk. I asked him simply why are you and Anthony here, and he spilled it all out in less than a minute, only because he didn't want the bomb on your body" Ari explained and sat in front of her.

Kate swallowed. She couldn't believe Tony put his life on the edge just because of her. She looked at Ari angrily.

"Oh, and I also asked him if he believes your NCIS pals will find you. He thinks they will" Ari said and laughed for a while. Kate stared at him.

"So? They will" She shrugged. Ari smiled psychotically.

"Oh, Caitlin. You believe that too?" Ari asked.

"Yeah" She nodded. Ari rolled his eyes. He put the camera in front of her and pressed the 'on' button. This time, he set up the camera live.

At the NCIS building…

"Agent Gibbs!" Someone yelled. Gibbs turned around, to see Phillip.

"Send it to Abby!" He said angrily.

"No, no, this isn't encrypted, it's a live video!" He replied frantically, causing Gibbs to fall out of his cair, literally.

"I'M COMING" Gibbs yelled as e got up, with his face red.

"MCGEE, BRING ABBY AND FORNELL!" Gibbs screamed and ran up the chairs. He knocked on the Director's door.

"Je…?" She started.

"JENNY…LIVE… VIDEO…ARI…MTAC…NOW" Gibbs said between breaths. She quickly got up and hurried to the door.

At the MTAC…

"Hit it, Michael!" Gibbs yelled to a new worker.

"My name is Aaron!" He whined. Gibbs sighed.

"Boss, he'll be able to see us all" McGee whispered.

"I know, McGee, Fornell, you there?" Gibbs hissed.

"Yeah" Fornell appeared behind them. Aaron played the video. Abby immediately started typing into the computer, so did McGee.

'Hello, NCIS team. How are you all?'

"Ari, we know you're not a double agent" Gibbs sharply said. Ari laughed and started clapping.

'Well, well. Agent Fornell, I think it was about the time for you to graduate Primary School, wasn't it?'

Gibbs and Fornell clenched their fists.

"Ari, give NCIS their agents" Fornell said warily.

'Oh, Tobias. You have finally spoken. I'm the one who gives the orders here'

"Ari, if you want to kill me, come over here and do it" Gibbs said angrily.

'But I like it more this way'

"Yeah, well I like my agents with me, so give them back, and I will gladly be your hostage" Gibbs continued. Everybody gasped in fear.

'Gibbs! GIBBS! Please, come here! We're in Englewood, block…'

They were all relieved to hear Kate's voice. They heard Ari go mad.

'NO! Stop talking! I will stab you'

"Gibbs! Got the address!" Abby whispered.

'I will see you later, Agent Gibbs. Caitlin pissed me off'

The video ended. Gibbs hugged Abby.

"He didn't bother with the signal. I think he's running out of time" Abby said, even though she didn't know what she was exactly talking about.

"Good job, Abbs. Give me the address, we're flying to Chicago" Gibbs said happily. Everyone clapped. Only one thing bothered him:

What was Ari going to do to Kate?

Tony and Kate…

"WHY? Why did you do it? I can't believe it. Your friend Anthony will pay. You will pay" Ari paced the floor angrily. Kate was smiling.

"Go ahead, Kill us both. I don't even care anymore. You've held us as hostages for five days, and hadn't killed us yet. And now, you're in panic. So, do it. Seriously. I don't see the point in it, really" Kate said. Ari glared at her. He smiled all of sudden, making Kate wish she never said the things she just said.

"What?" She asked, feeling herself tense up.

"I have a much better idea" Ari evilly said and walked out, leaving Kate speechless and confused.

Tony was looking at his feet. He was scared, hungry, thirsty, angry and-bored. Ari came in.

"Oh, hey buddy! Missed me?" Tony said, not taking his eyes off his feet. Ari took out his phone and dialed a number.

"What, calling your mommy?" Tony teased. But, Ari was still grinning, which convinced Tony not to joke around.

At the NCIS building…

"Boss, I just called the captains of our private plane; he says that everything is ready for tomorrow morning" McGee said as he came back into the bullpen. Gibbs smiled.

"Thanks, McGee" Gibbs nodded and went back to his computer. His phone suddenly rang.

"Who could that be?" Gibbs muttered when he looked at the unknown number. He picked up.

"Hello?" Gibbs said.

'Agent Gibbs, I forgot to tell you this. Anthony has a bomb wrapped around his chest. The bomb was activated two hours ago, so you have six hours left to find your agents and take me down. Good luck'

Gibbs recognized the voice easily. He quickly got up.

"MCGEE!" He yelled.

"Yeah? What's wrong?' McGee asked, confused by Gibbs' weird face expression.

"We're flying this moment" Gibbs said angrily and ran into the elevator.


AN: Hey! I'm sorry again, if there's anyone from Englewood that I offended, I don't mean any harm, or to discover anything to anyone. I don't know any information about the building Kate and Tony are in, even though the building exists. Yes, the building exists. I only know that someone was killed in it. I don't know any info, Chicago Police and I don't have anything. Please don't sue, I recently did a research, only to find this building as the prefect spot for Ari taking someone for hostage. I don't mean to give and idea to criminals.

I'm really sorry, if I'm making any law problems, please let me know. I never knew and I don't know what's going on in abandoned warehouses and buildings. This is just for fun.
