Once they go into interrogation Tony tries to keep his cool down but he feels like he's going to explode while question this fool.
"Well if it isn't Agents Playboy and Grandpa, how's it goin?" Max asked sarcastically.
"If i were you Ryder i wouldn't talk unless you get asked a question because i want to kill you boy i would love to put a bullet in your brain but i'm not so just sit there shut up and answer our questions". Tony said.
"Oh ho now i'm scared". Max said.
"Oh you should be Ryder because you messed with the wrong little girl. What would possess you to go after the daughter of a federal officer?" Gibbs said.
"I wanted to make you all suffer how i suffered so since you took my freedom i decided to take something of yours, i was originally planning to go after that scientist girl Abby but when i found out about the kid i knew that was a better way of making you suffer". Max said.
Tony's blood boiled even more wanting to punch this son of a bitch, Gibbs on the other hand was trying to keep calm but he knew he was about to explode on the inside.
"By the way how are little Kate and your two other friends? Must be awfully lonely at the hospital". Max said.
Tony and Gibbs then took the hint and what he said, he planned a hit for Kate, Mcgee, and Ziva at the hospital so Tony had to get ahold of one of them now.
"If anything happens to that little girl or somebody from my team i'll put a bullet in you myself". Gibbs warned.
"I believe you mean that Agent Gibbs". Max said.
"Oh trust me i mean that". Gibbs said.
Hospital
Kate still asleep while Mcgee and Ziva are still watching tv while keeping their guard up, Mcgee's phone then vibrates and he sees it's Tony calling.
-Yeah Tony. Mcgee answered.
-Tim listen to me very carefully Ryder put a hit on you, Ziva, and Kate. I don't know what gotta do but get out of there now. Tony said.
-Were on it Tony we won't let anything happen to Katie. Mcgee said.
-Thanks Tim. Tony said.
Mcgee then hung his phone up and turned around to see Ziva there wondering what's going on.
"What's wrong Mcgee?" Ziva asked.
"We gotta get Kate and get out of here now. Ryder put a hit out on us and Kate we have to move her now". Mcgee said.
"How do you suppose we do that Mcgee?" Ziva asked.
Two of Ryder's men came into the hospital dressed as a doctor with a silencer, he then takes Kate's folder to see what room number she's in so he goes up to the floor. Mcgee then took a sleeping Kate and moved her onto another hospital bed covering her with a sheet while Ziva got in Kate's bed with her gun on her left side, Mcgee then took the blanket and covered Ziva with it.
"Are you sure this'll work Mcgee?" Ziva asked.
"It should work long enough for me to get Kate out of here, all you gotta do is just lay there then when they come you know what to do". Mcgee said.
"Alright you get her out of here". Ziva said.
"Alright". Mcgee said.
Ziva then covered herself up while Mcgee got Kate and left the room, no one looked at Mcgee with suspicious since he was a federal officer so he just wheeled the bed in a normal manner not wanting to attract any attention. Ryder's men then got to the floor Kate is on they went together to get the job done faster, Mcgee is taking every shortcut possible to avoid the hit men he just hopes that Kate can stay asleep long enough for him to get her out but that is short lived when she starts to moan and groan so he goes into a stairwell just as Kate woke up.
"Uncle Tim where we going?" Kate asked in a slur.
"Were going back to NCIS honey". Mcgee answered.
Kate was still groggy from the pain medication so she was still a little out of it.
"Are we going to see my dad?" Kate asked.
"Yes and while we're there Ducky and Jimmy are gonna look at you to make sure you're alright". Mcgee said.
"Ok". Kate said.
The pain medication is starting to ware off of Kate so the pain in her arm is slowly coming back and she still felt weak.
"Alright Katie i'm going to pick you up and i'm gonna take you to my car ok". Mcgee said.
"Alright". Kate said.
Tim then picked his niece up bridal style and she wrapped her arms around his neck as she felt herself slowly going back to sleep once he got to the garage he looked around to make sure it's safe before he ran to his car putting Kate in the back seat buckling her up and he waits on Ziva.
Meanwhile
Ziva is still laying in the bed with her gun in her right hand ready to aim at the hit men, she then hears someone coming in the room so she tightens her hand on her gun just as the footsteps got closer and she readied herself just as one of them pulled the sheet off and she aimed her gun at them.
"NCIS! Drop the gun!" Ziva said to the two men.
One of them ran out of the room knowing that Kate is with Mcgee while Ziva gets into a fight with the other guy and she twists the guy's arm then breaks it and handcuffs him reading him his rights.
"You're under arrest you have the right to remain silent anything you can say will be held against you do you understand the right as i explained them to you". Ziva said.
"Yes". The guy said.
Ziva then brought him out of the room with everyone looking at the two, Mcgee is still keeping a look out on one of the hit men till he spots somebody dressed as a doctor with a gun in his pocket but he can't draw attention to himself just yet because he and Ziva need back up so he calls Gibbs.
-Yeah Gibbs. Gibbs answers.
-Boss it's me, Ziva and i need back up now. Mcgee said.
-Did you get Kate out? Gibbs asked.
-Yeah she's in my car and one of the hit men is in the garage and Ziva has the other one, we need back up now. Mcgee said.
-Me and Tony are on the way just keep Katie safe. Gibbs said.
-On it boss. Mcgee said.
He then hung the phone up and the hit guy just spots him and Mcgee has to do something before Kate ends up in the crossfire.
"Katie, sweetie wake up". Mcgee said.
"Uncle Tim? What's wrong?" Kate asked.
"I need you to get on the floor and stay down, no matter what you hear or might see just stay down your dad and Gibbs are on the way. Keep the doors locked and don't open it for anybody except me, Ziva, Gibbs or your dad alright". Mcgee instructed his niece.
"Uncle Tim is everything alright?" Kate asked.
"Katie please just stay on the floor until one of us comes and gets you, i won't let anything happen to you". Mcgee said.
"Uncle Tim i'm scared". Kate said.
"It'll be alright Katie just stay on the floor with all the door locks and don't come out for anything, unless me, Ziva, your dad, or Gibbs comes to get you don't come out for anything". Time said.
"Alright". Katie said.
"Atta girl now get down now". Mcgee said.
Kate did what her uncle asked she hid on the floor of the car just as he got out and locked all the doors of the car. He then pulled his gun out readying himself for the suspect.
"NCIS! Drop your weapon!" Mcgee yelled.
"Hand over the kid and no one gets hurt". The guy yelled.
"Never". Mcgee said.
The guy then shot off his gun a couple times missing Mcgee but hit the front of the car making Kate scream in terror. Just then Gibbs and Tony drove up fast as lightning and the guy then shot at Gibb's car but hit the windshield not hitting neither Tony or Gibbs.
"Drop your weapon! Now!" Gibbs yelled.
The guy kept coming at Mcgee with his weapon raised then Tony took the guy out with three shots insistently killing him, Mcgee and Gibbs then checked the guy while Tony tended to his scared daughter.
"Katie! Katie!". Tony called.
"Dad? Daddy!" Kate yelled.
"It's me honey unlock the door". Tony said.
Kate then unlocked the door on the right side and just jumped in her dad's arms hanging on for dear life.
"It's alright baby it's alright now, i'm here . Daddy's here, daddy's got you, everything's alright now". Tony soothed his daughter.
"I was scared daddy". Kate said.
"It's alright now Katie i promise everything's gonna be ok". Tony assured her.
Ziva then came out with the other suspect and sees what has happened.
"I got this one and it looks like you got the other one". Ziva said.
"Yeah, who's this clown". Gibbs asked.
"Jason Ryder, Max's younger brother". Ziva answered.
"Do you know you got serious charges against you kid? Attempted murder? And Attempted murder of two federal officers? Your parole officer hasn't even been born yet". Gibbs said.
"Ya'll took my brother from me so i took this job to take somebody from you to see how it feels". Jason said.
"So you take an innocent child?" Mcgee asked.
"It works". Jason said.
Gibbs then kicks him in the stomach hard just as Ziva made him hit his head, they called Ducky and Jimmy to get the body to do an autopsy then when they get back to NCIS they can tend to Kate. Kate stayed in her father's arms still feeling a bit weak and the pain in her arm is coming back, Tony held his daughter in a protective hold daring anybody to take her from him. Gibbs then went to check on his senior agent and grand daughter.
"She alright Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"She's still a bit shaken up and scared other than that she seems fine". Tony said.
"Katie? You alright there kiddo?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm fine, can we go back to NCIS now dad?" Kate asked.
"Sure let's go i'm pretty sure Abby is gonna wanna see her favorite niece". Tony said.
"Go on Tony we can handle it from here but just to make sure when Ducky and Jimmy get back have them check her out". Gibbs said.
"On it boss". Tony said.
Tony then put Kate in the back of his car and drove back to NCIS.
