Here's another update for those of you reading along.

Chapter 4

Abby woke suddenly from sleeping over her key board. She frantically looked around and saw McGee sleeping on the floor. "McGee!" She kicked his leg and he wakes up. "I've figured it out!"

McGee climbed to his feet and wipes the sleep from his eyes. "Figured what out?"

"God, I can't believe I didn't think of this before." She begins typing on her keyboard. "Get Tony and Ziva on the phone."

McGee watches as he dials the satellite phone. "Guys, Abby's figured something out." He pushes the button putting their coworkers on speaker phone.

"What the hell Abby? It's like two in the morning here!" Tony complains.

"Bite me Tony, but I think I've figured out a way to narrow the search even more." She types away.

Ziva groans. "Isn't there a way to track the plane besides what we are doing now?"

McGee shakes his head. "No. The transponder went dead before it flew over the islands, and there has been any report of wreckage found."

"So, what the hell is Abby doing?" Tony asks obviously wanting to go back to sleep.

"I had a dream." She responds. McGee just looks at her and five time zones away, Tony and Ziva share a confused stare. "Think you guys, you're on a plane you know is going to crash. What do you do?"

"Jump out." Ziva quickly answers.

"Yeah, but do you just jump out randomly? Or…" Several more clicks and a new map pops up. "Wa-la!"

McGee looks at her new map. "You stay in the plane and jump out when you see land."

"Exactly McGee! Now you're thinking like Gibbs." She praises. "Ziva, I'm sending you a new map." Abby finishes sending the new search area. "You should have better luck with this one. There's only about fifteen islands that will need to be checked."

"Abby, you're a genius." McGee praises her. She squeals and leaps into his arms.

The Island

Gibbs slowly opens his eyes and notice it's still dark out. The fire has dwindled to a few glowing ambers, but he's looking for his missing companion. As his eyes focus to the darkness, Gibbs quickly realizes that there's enough light from the moon to highlight the beach. He spots Jenny's silhouette sitting near the shoreline. Knowing she's deep in thought, Gibbs adds a few more pieces of wood to the fire and slowly makes his way down to the shore.

He eased down next to Jenny but didn't let any part of him touch her. He wanted her to initiate it. Gibbs sat silent and watched along with her as the water gently lapped at the sand. Jenny refused to look at him as he sat down. She maintained her position on the sand with her knees pulled towards her chest. While trying desperately to hide her emotion she knew that with him waiting next to her it would cause her to eventually break down.

So instead she started talking. "I think if we weren't stuck on this damn island that I would be more excited about the possibility of being pregnant. But knowing that there's a chance that we aren't going to be found…" Her emotions began getting the best of her and she began to sob.

Gibbs sighed and pulled her over into a warm embrace. "Jen, they'll find us. I know right now after this long it feels like it may never happen, but we need to stay positive." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "I'll light the fire tomorrow afternoon. Maybe there will be a passing boat or plane somewhere that will see the smoke." He hoped it would ease her worry.

After a few minutes near the water, Gibbs helped Jenny back towards the now crackling fire. They eased down to the warm sand and he held Jenny in his arms as she drifted off to sleep.

This time it was Jenny waking alone. She noticed the fire had several new pieces of wood on it, and sitting near her was a leaf with a sliced mango waiting for her. With a smile she pulled the offering to her and remained lying as she ate the fruit. Down near the large burn pile, she noticed Gibbs adding a large amount of green leaves to it. While she ate, Jenny continued to watch him work. She noted that since he'd lost weight, his jeans hung low on his hips, but she also noted that his chest was more defined.

Gibbs finished adding to the pile and returned to the small camp fire. He smiled when he noticed that Jenny was awake. "Good morning."

"Morning. Thanks for breakfast."

He smiled at her. "Don't eat too much too fast or you won't keep it down." Gibbs finished with a wink as he grabbed a piece of flaming wood.

Jenny grinned. "I don't think I'll have any problems this morning."

Gibbs took the piece of fire back down the beach and tossed it into his large pile. He started back towards Jenny as the fire grew. Once back at their camp, Gibbs sat down and watched the fire grow. "Well, I guess we wait."

As the fire burned, Jenny cleaned herself up in the surf after eating her breakfast and smiled as she felt no nausea at all. "Maybe it was just the fish." She said to herself. When she made her way back to the trees, she noticed Gibbs lying on his stomach using a rolled up shirt as a pillow, and sleeping soundly. Jenny decided she needed to keep busy, Jenny walked off into the trees.

'Beer Thirty'

Tony and Ziva studied the new map as the yacht motored south. "Several of these islands have people living on them this time of the year." Henry pointed out the islands inhabited. "If Gunny made it to one of them, we would have heard something by now." Tony and Ziva let the older man look over the map. "I would investigate these right here." He pointed out several possibilities. "If Gunny is his same ol' stubborn self, then these would be my bet."

The agents looked at each other. "Sounds good to us." Ziva responded.

Henry nodded. "Good. We'll be near the first one by sunrise."

Unable to return to sleep, Tony and Ziva sat at the front of the boat as it went through the dark water.

As expected the sun had lightened the sky enough to see, and when they arrived at the first island on the map they scoured the shoreline with their binoculars as they circled the landmass. With no luck they headed towards the next island on the map. Aware that it would take them several hours to reach the next one, Ziva decided to get in a quick nap. Tony was unable to sleep so he continued to watch the horizon in hopes of any sign.

He went below deck for a quick lunch and was back on lookout. Tony knew that somewhere in the vast area his boss was patiently waiting to be rescued. Henry joined Tony on the deck. "Down this way there's a cluster of islands that people frequent during the day on occasion."

Tony sighed and looked through the binoculars in the direction they were heading. He scanned the horizon and stopped. Pulling the binoculars down he wiped the lenses with the material on his shorts before looking through them again. "That looks like smoke."

Henry grabbed the lenses from Tony and looked through them. "No one on these islands makes fires big enough to be seen long distances, in fear of setting the whole island on fire." He continued to look. "That's got to be a signal fire."

"Gibbs." Tony whispered. "Head for the smoke." He stood fast on deck and kept an eye on the distance. Tony couldn't see the smoke without looking through the binoculars and even then it was barely visible.

Ziva joined him shortly after. "So, you saw smoke?"

"Yeah, it's Gibbs Ziva, I just know it." He said and she put a hand on his shoulder as they stood watching.

By nightfall they had to slow their speed with not being able to see and navigating by GPS and depth sonar. Tony refused to leave topside and decided to get some rest in a chair. Ziva was down below studying the map with Henry as he informed her about the islands.

The night seemed long with the anticipation but because of their travel at night, as sea began to become visible and they picked up speed as the island came into view. Tony frantically scoured the beach as Henry skillfully maneuvered the yacht to coast as close to the shore as possible. Ziva was looking towards the opposite end of the island.

Tony could feel every beat of his heart as he searched. As he looked he noticed something off with the tree line ahead of them. He focused and pointed it out. "Henry, over there!" Ziva joined him in searching and when Tony saw the outline he whispered. "Boss." He tossed the binoculars on the deck and pulled his shirt from his head. "Boss!" He yelled as he leaped from the boat and began frantically swimming. Ziva was on his heels and jumped into the water. Henry stopped the boat and moved to watch the two agents swim for the shore. Tony reached the shore and his legs churned against the tide and as he hit the sand began running. "Boss!"

Gibbs was still asleep but thought he was dreaming of DiNozzo yelling at him. He slowly woke and heard DiNozzo's voice once again. Gibbs rolled onto his back and opened his eyes just as Tony landed right next to him.

"Boss!" Tony hovered over him.

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs reached up and pulled Tony into a fierce hug.

"I knew I'd find you." Tony had tears spilling from his eyes as Ziva joined them.

"Gibbs!" She called out and fell to the ground covering her boss as well.

After a minute they managed to separate themselves and pulled Gibbs to his feet. "I've never been more happy to see the two of you." He hugged them both once again. "Jenny's around here somewhere." Gibbs turned and looked at the sand. He read her single worded message and Gibbs then yelled into the trees. "Jenny!" Tony and Ziva waited behind their boss.

Jenny was doing her usual morning routine of hunting fruit when she heard Gibbs call for her. She started walking back towards him but after thinking that he had never called for her before began to run thinking there was a problem. As she neared the beach she saw him standing next to Tony and Ziva. "Jethro!" She called out and ran to him. Tears quickly fell down her face as she embraced her lover and his two best agents. She openly cried against them as they all shared a moment of relief.

"Hey." Gibbs whispered and separated from her. "Let's go home." Jenny nodded and Gibbs leaned down to kiss her.

Both Tony and Ziva shared a moment of confused excitement before heading towards the water. Gibbs and Jenny followed and the four of them swam to the waiting yacht. Gibbs was the last to board the vessel and came face to face with an old acquaintance. "Not exactly the best vacation spot Gunny."

"It wasn't planned that way Henry." Gibbs accepted the open hand and shook his former platoon mates' hand. "Where did they dig you up at?"

He shrugged. "Not sure. Me and Scout live on Tahiti alone, and then I get this random call from a Special Agent McGee. Said your name and described the trouble and we were in."

"How is Scout?" Gibbs asked.

Henry shrugged. "The same."

Gibbs solemnly shook his head. "Got a shower on this monstrosity?"

"Down below."

Gibbs escorted Jenny down below deck and they looked over the amenities. "I need to ask Ziva for a razor." Jenny said and just as she walked out of the bathroom was greeted by Ziva.

"Here, thought you might want some more feminine products to clean up with." Ziva handed her the small bag.

"Thank you." She stepped back into the small room and took off her bikini and got into the shower. After shampooing her hair, Jenny began to shave under her arms. She was focused on her task at hand when she heard the buzz of electric clippers. "I hope you're not shaving your head."

Gibbs snickered. "Just my face. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah." She replied and continued her task.

Once finished clipping off his over grown facial hair, Gibbs covered the remaining scruff with shaving cream and started to shave his face smooth once again. When he was done he removed the remains of his jeans and stepped into the shower.

"Jethro." Jenny said as she was rinsing the conditioner out of her hair.

His eyes scanned over her body and he glanced lower. "Finally got to shave huh?"

"Yes. I feel much better." He smirked at her and leaned forward and sucked in her bottom lip. She moaned softly and Gibbs deepened the kiss. As he kissed his way to her neck Jenny was gripping his shoulders tightly as he started to kiss lower.

Gibbs sucked in a nipple and Jenny hissed in pleasure. "I think I should inspect this shave job myself." He eased down to his knees and kissed her stomach.

"Oh God, Jethro!" Jenny's body was unable to react on its own as Gibbs moved her left leg over his shoulder. Slowly he kissed closer to her sex and her breathing increased. He knew she was trying to keep as quiet as possible but when he ran his tongue over her pleasure button she cried out. "Jethro!" He then sucked harder and inserted a finger into her and stroked her g-spot. Jenny gripped his hair in her fist as her orgasm washed over her.

Tony and Ziva had just walked down to the cabin and set clothes on the bed for their bosses when Jenny's cries of pleasure filled the cabin. "Alright boss."

"Tony." Ziva scolded as they heard Jenny cry out again. "Out!"

"Ha ha ha. You go boss!" Tony said as Ziva pushed him up the stairs.
