Charity walked the hall and entered Abby's lab. Abby turned around. "Charity, what are you doing down here? I don't have anything yet."
"I know. This is something else." Charity replied. She held out the letter to Abby. On the back of it Tony had written the signal they needed to find. "I need you to track this signal."
"Why? What's going on?" Abby inquired.
"Tony had a tracking device inplanted in his arm and then got himself captured." Charity answered.
"By the guy same guy that has your dad?" Abby asked.
Charity nodded.
"You mean, he got captured on purpose to help you find your dad?"
"Yes." Charity answered.
"Awe, that is the most romantic thing I've ever heard!" Abby gushed.
"What is?" Burley asked walking in, followed by McGee and Dan.
"Tony got himself captured to help find Charity's dad." Abby answered.
"Abby, start tracking him. McGee help." Charity ordered, feeling impatient.
"Right." Abby said turning to her computer.
"On it boss." McGee replied, moving over to stand beside Abby.
"Tony lied to me." Dan said.
"About what?" Charity asked, turning to him.
"I asked him if he was in some kind of trouble. He said no. He's in the worst kind of trouble a man can be in." Dan replied. "He's in love."
"I've got a location." Abby announced.
"A location on what Abby?" Director Shepard spoke interupting everything.
"The tracking device in my partner's arm." Dan answered.
"Agent Gibbs, my office now." Jenny ordered.
"There's no time director." Charity replied.
"Need I remind you that I'm your director and you will do as I say?"
Everyone fell silent, a showdown between Charity and the new director. Charity took in a breath. "The intrudor from yesterday, he broke in to speak with me. My father has been missing since I was fourteen, he has him. Detective DiNozzo was helping me try to find him. He got himself captured so we could track him. I have to get them back. I'm going with or without the support of NCIS behind me."
"And I'm going, too." Dan added. "Tony's my partner."
"I'll go, too." Burley said, moving to stand beside Charity.
"Me, too." McGee added.
"I'm in, too." Abby spoke up.
"So, you're all going to do this, even if I say not to?" Director Shepard replied.
"It appears that way, Director." Charity replied.
"Then you might as well have my support." Jenny said. She turned to speak directly to Charity. "I wish you would have told me sooner. I understand a woman's devotion to her father."
Tony...
Tony woke up to find himself in a sitting position. His arms and were bound behind his back and his legs were tied down to the legs of the chair. Tony tried to struggle against his restraints.
"You'll never get out of them." A voice from across the room said gruffly. "I've been trying for a while now."
Tony looked up and saw the man from the DVD. "Leroy Jethro Gibbs." Tony replied.
"How do you know who I am?" Gibbs asked.
"I know your daughter, Charity." Tony answered.
"How? She's dead. They told me my wife and both of my daughters were killed." Gibbs replied.
"Charity survived." Tony replied. "She's been looking for you. She's an NCIS agent now."
"You're telling me the truth? My daughter is alive?" Gibbs asked, disbelief in his voice.
"Yes." Tony answered. "And if my plan works, she'll be here with a team of agents before much longer."
"Plan? You mean you got captured on purpose?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah." Tony answered.
"Do you work with Charity?" Gibbs inquired.
"No, I work in the Metro Police Department. Homicide detective. We had a couple of cases cross and we've...become close." Tony answered, not thinking it a good idea to tell Charity's father just how close.
Gibbs didn't say or do anything. He was in shock. My baby is alive! After all this time...I know! Gibbs thought to himself. Then he looked back over at Tony. And he's in love with her. "How is she?" Gibbs asked. "How has she turned out?"
"Strong-willed...passionate...stubborn...and absolutely beautiful." Tony answered. Then he kept on fidgeting for a few more moments.
"Why are you still fidgeting?" Gibbs asked.
"So that I can do this." Tony answered, lifting up his hands to show that he had freed himself. "We need to be ready to move when it starts." Tony then bent over and freed his legs. Then he stood up and walked over to Gibbs and started to untie him.
"When what starts?" Gibbs asked.
"I told you. Charity should be here before much longer with a team of agents." Tony answered.
"The first thing they'll do is come in here to kill us." Gibbs stated, speaking of their captors.
"Exactly." Tony replied. "But we'll be ready for them."
Charity...
Charity, Burley, Dan, and a small team of agents rode in the back of a black van. They were all clad in black and kevlar from head to toe. They were heading to an abandoned warehouse district and they had no idea what they would be walking into.
McGee and Abby were working on tracing Tony from MTAC, Dorector Shepard watching everything through small cameras that the agents were wearing. "Can everyone hear me alright?" Jenny asked.
"We can hear you Director." Charity answered.
"Good." Jenny replied.
The van stopped moving. "We've arrived, Director." The driver anounced.
"Alright, good luck and be careful." Jenny ordered.
Charity took in a deep breath. She thought about her father and how much she loved and missed him. Then she thought about Tony and all that he risked to help her and how much she had to mean to him, and how much he meant to her. "Let's rock." She said.
Everyone hopped out of the van and started moving through the dark of the night, their weapons drawn. Just as they began moving towards the warehouse Tony's signal was coming from, they heard an alarm and then they were being shot at. "Take cover!" Charity ordered.
Everyone dove for cover and then when they figured out where the shots were coming from, took aim and fired back. It was a full on fire fight.
Tony...
After Tony had freed Gibbs, they heard alarms going off. "Looks like the party just got started." Tony said. Then he went back over to his seat and sat like he was still tied up. Gibbs did the same in his seat.
"Do you think you'll be able to fight?" Tony asked Gibbs, thinking that after being tied up for so long, that he might have some issues.
"You just told me that my baby girl is alive. I could move a mountain." Gibbs answered.
Before they could speak further the door to their cell burst open. "We are taking no prisoners." He said. He moved over to Tony and pulled out a knife.
Tony chose that moment to spring into action. He and the other man fought, then Gibbs jumped into the fight, getting at the man from his back and catching him off guard. As the man started to fumble, he went to slice at Tony and got his arm. None of them noticed as the tracking device came out of his arm and landed on the floor with some of his blood.
Gibbs and Tony soon had the man down. They took his knife and the gun he had strapped to his hip and then slipped out of the room.
Charity...
Charity and her team fought their way into the warehouse. Once inside, they saw that there was more to this plot than simple kidnappings. There were maps of the Pentagon, the White House, and much more. Also the ingrediants to make bombs littered the room.
"They're terroists." Charity breathed.
"Boss," came McGee's voice through her ear piece, "go straight for about twenty feet, then turn right. That's where you should find Tony."
"Alright." Charity replied and started following McGee's directions. She soon came to a door on her right. She opened it and headed inside, her gun in front of her. The room was completely empty save for one of the terrorists unconscious on the floor. That was when she noticed the spot of blood on the floor, she walked closer to it.
"Are you sure he's here McGee?" Charity asked.
"According to the tracking device, he should be right in front of you." McGee replied.
"He's not, but the tracking device is." Charity said, reaching into the blood and lifting the small device in her fingers.
Just then, Burley was busting through the door. "Boss, we gotta get out of here. There's a bomb set to go off."
Charity stood frozen. "I can't leave without them." She breathed.
Burley grabbed Charity roughly by the arm and dragged her out of the room. Charity stumbled out with him, reluctantly. They made it out of the building and were twenty feet away when the bomb went off.
Charity wrenched free of Burley;s hold and turned to face the now burning building. The tears stung at her eyes and threatened to spill out and wash her face. That was when she noticed a figure walking out from behind the building. As the figure approached, Charity saw that it was her father.
"Dad." She breathed. Then her feet began to carry her towards him. "Dad!" She shouted, now running towards him.
Gibbs looked up and saw a young woman dressed in black running towards him. As she drew closer, he could see that she had red hair and his same blue eyes. His heart instantly recognized that she was his daughter.
"Daddy!" She exclaimed, as she ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, tears flowing freely from her eyes.
Gibbs wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I never thought I'd see you again." He spoke to her.
"I never gave up on you, Daddy." She replied. "Even when they told me you were most likely dead, I knew it couldn't be true."
"I'm so glad you're alright." Gibbs told her. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too." Charity replied. Then she pulled back and looked up at him. "Where's Tony?" Charity then noticed another figure moving out from behind the building. As he came closer, she was able to tell that it was Tony.
Charity pulled away from her father and ran to Tony. She came to a stop in front of him and looked at him. "Are you alright?" She asked. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Tony answered, giving her a smile.
"Good." Charity said, reaching up and slapping the back of his head. "That's because this is the dumbest thing you could have ever done." Then she jumped up and tossed her arms around his neck and pulled his lips to hers for a passionate kiss. Then she pulled away and looked back up at him. "And it was also the sweetest most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me."
Tony grinned at her. "Careful Miss Gibbs. Somebody might think you care about me."
Charity gave him a look. "Just shut up and kiss me you crazy stupid wonderful man."
"My pleasure." He replied, pulling her close and placing his lips on hers.
"Awe." came Abby's voice over the link. "Charity has her dad back and Tony. I might cry."
