Abandoned house

Ryder is back at one of his old houses he uses for storage but this time he's not there for storage he's there for something else. One of his guys is a bomb expert and he is using C4 he's making one that has a timer on it and the other is for Kate it's in the form of a vest but a different type. He smiles in approvement and they all continue working while plotting this.

NCIS

It has only been a couple of days since everything has happened and the team doesn't know about Ryder's escape yet. Since then Tony and Kate had stayed at NCIS they only left long enough to go home, shower, change, get something to eat and back to NCIS. Tony didn't like the fact that when he left two other agents followed as back up he was a trained federal agent he could take care of himself and his daughter but he won't go against Vance's or Gibb's orders especially since Kate is still in protective custody. Kate hasn't left her father side in the past couple of days while he worked she stayed beside his desk she only left his side was to use the bathroom and that was it she went back to her dad's desk and sat down playing on her IPad. Tony thought long and hard about what his father said about letting him take Kate for a couple of days to get away but he wasn't sure because he didn't know if Ryder would come back, he wouldn't know if something were to happen to his father or daughter, he wasn't going to take a chance or risk at getting either his father or his daughter hurt he thought after everything was good and clear he would consider it. While the team is working on their reports Gibbs phone rings.

-Yeah Gibbs. Gibbs answered.

His face became outraged and he slammed his phone down getting everyone's attention.

"Everything alright boss?" Mcgee asked.

He didn't wanna answer the question since Kate was right there by Tony because if she knew it would freak her out again but he really didn't have a choice of hiding it.

"Ryder escaped custody the two officers and agents were shot to death". Gibbs said.

The agents were shocked just as Kate jumped her father and buried her face in his shoulder holding him in a death grip.

"It's alright Katie ok it's gonna be alright". Tony said.

"He said he'd be back, he said it". Kate cried.

Kate then couldn't take it so she pulled away from her dad running and hiding, Tony sighed running his hands threw his hair. He is even more stressed and he needed something anything to take the edge off but nothing would work so while he got his thoughts together Ziva went to get her niece from her hiding spot, when the elevator dinged and everyone got off but Kate she stayed in the corner of the elevator curled herself into a tight ball sobbing so Ziva stepped in sat down beside her and held her close while stroking her hair back.

"Shh it's alright tateleh, everything will be alright. We won't let anything happen to you". Ziva said.

Kate continued to sob and after a little while she fell asleep as Ziva noticed her breathing became even so she brought the sleeping child to Abby's lab to lay her on the futon. When Ziva brought a sleeping Kate to Abby's lab the sleeping child started to stir because of how loud Abby's music is so when Ziva goes in she taps Abby's shoulder and points to a sleeping Kate so she turned her music down and they brought her in and laid her on the futon then turned on music to help keep her calm and relaxed once they saw how peaceful Kate was they quietly got out of the room and went back in the lab.

"What's wrong with Kate?" Abby asked.

"We found out today that Ryder escaped custody and he told Kate that he'd be back". Ziva explained.

"That guy is like way dangerous i researched him and he is really really bad no doubt about it". Abby said.

"Do you still have what you pulled up on him?" Ziva asked.

"I should". Abby said.

Abby then went to her computer and pulled up Ryder's file and he has been arrested for almost everything from accessory to theft than some other charges, he has a rap sheet so long it's as long as somebody's arm.

"This guy is dangerous Ziva so you guys should really be careful". Abby said.

"We will if she wakes up call Tony ". Ziva said.

"Gotcha". Abby said.

Ziva glanced at a sleeping Kate one more time before heading out and back up to the bull pen. Once up there she saw that Mcgee had everything about Ryder on the screen they had a list of his associates and hide outs if they catch him now then maybe he won't get to Kate. Tony and Mcgee went out to question the associates while Gibbs and Ziva went to search the hide outs.

With Tony and Mcgee

"Tony you alright?" Mcgee asked.

"Not really Tim, my little girl is in danger because of me this is my fault". Tony said.

"How could this be your fault Tony? You couldn't have known that any of this would happen like Gibbs said you didn't do this the job did i'm surprised that he hasn't pulled you out because of rule 10". Mcgee said.

"I would have still worked the case, nobody is hurting my little girl ever again". Tony said.

Tony and Mcgee then went to go talk to the first associate.
