Chapter 11: Come find me
Tony is in Abby's lab worrying about Kate, Gibbs has told him that he is advising Tony to stay out of the case as his personal feelings may get
in the way and comprimise the investigation, he understand where Gibbs is coming from but really wants to nail the bastards that have taken
Kate away from him.
"She will be ok Tony" Abby says running the blood evidence through vigorus tests
"I just can't help but think it is all my fault!" Tony says angrily
"Its not you fault Tony!" Abby says comforting him
"If i hadn't have asked her back to my place she would be here with us safe and sound" Tony says defeated
"We'll get her back Tony you'll see" Abby says trying to reassure him and herself
Gibbs, Veron and the Director are in MTAC trying to sort out a search team to look for Kate, they aren't having much luck as it happens to be
the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and all the emergency services are going to pay their respects. There is no way that a search party would
be able to start looking for Kate before tomorrow.
"This is highly important one of my agents is missing presumed dead, do you not understand that?"
"I understand your problem agent Gibbs, but there is nothing we can do" Arnold Croft says
"Bull shit!" Gibb shouts and the Director winces
"I'm sure we can come to some sort of argreement Mr Croft?" the Director asks using the business approach
"I'm sorry Director there is nothing i can do" Croft says and terminates the feed
"You Bastard!" Gibbs shouts and throws the headset on the floor
"It's just you and me Gibbs" Veron says
"Oh great!" Gibbs says
In the Lab Abby, McGee, Tony and Emma are all talking and examining evidence when Gibbs walks holding a Caff-pow.
"What you got for me Abs?" Gibbs asked sounding pissed off
"It doesn't look good Gibbs, i tested the blood from Tony's appartment and all 5 samples came from Kate" Abby says solumly
"Good work Abs, what about he prints?" Gibbs asks
"I am running them through AFIS but currently no hits" She says
"McGee, any luck finding the phone records?" Gibbs asks
"Sorry boss seems like the call was not placed to Tony's phone but pre-recorded and inserted in to the phone when they kidnapped Kate" he informs him
"Keep at it McGee" gibbs says
"Yes boss" he answers
In the bullpit Gibbs, Veron, Ziva and Smith are all going through case files calling important people who will be able to help with the search
to find Kate when all of a sudden the elevator bell rings.
"I hear your in need of some assistance?" Fornell says
"What are you doing here Tobias?" Gibbs asks
"Well when your director was having trouble getting a search party together she called me" Fornell informs him
"We don't need any help from feds now or ever!" Veron says
"Special Agent Veron i would say it was a pleasure to meet you but i would be lying" Fornell says sarcastically
"This is our case Fornell we don't need you or your monkeys!" Veron snaps
"We'll be leaving now" Ziva says and her and Smith walk onto the elevator
Ziva and Smith arrive at Kate's apartment and head towards the front door, they see that it is open and pull out their weapons and signal to each other,
Ziva will take the front while Smith will go round the back. they slowly move into position as if synchronised they both open the front and back
doors at the same time. They hear a noise in the bedroom and make their way down the corridor towards the bedroom, Smith is the the first to enter
the room and upon seeing the man she freezes and Ziva enters the room.
"Federal Agents put your hands in the air!" Smith shouts
"Turn around and face the wall!" Ziva says
They hold out their weapons towards the strange man, Ziva slowly walks over to the man and hancuffs him, he says nothing just looks at Ziva and then Smith.
As Ziva walks out of the bedroom with him he struggles and Ziva feels a sharp pain in her abdomen. He had been hiding a knife up his sleve and now the
blade is in Ziva. She lets him go to get the blade out as Smith runs after him. She manages to cath up with him long enough to get a good look at the
vehicle he gets into.
The white van speeds up the road and vanishes into the distance. Smith goes back inside the house to check on Ziva while calling for an ambulance.
"This is Agent Victoria Smith NCIS i need madical assistance at 129 Mount place road, we have an agent down, stab wound to the abomen!" she informs them
She enters the bedroom to find Ziva holding one of Kates scarves to her stomach to help stop the bleeding.
"How you holding up Ziva?" She asks
"It's not that bad it was only a short bladed knife, i've had worse!" Ziva says trying to hold in her pain
"i'm gonna call my boss and get them out here, this is our new crime scene" Smith says opening her cell
"Veron" He answers
"Boss we've got a problem" Smith says
"What is it?" he asks
"Ziva had been stabbed, we enterd Kate's apartment to find the door open and an intruder was in her bedroom, on trying to arrest the guy he stabbed her
in the stomach, i have called the emergency team and they are gonna be here any minute i suggest you do too as we have a new crime scene" she says
"We'll be right there just keep yourselves safe" Veron orders
Veron enters the Bullpit and gathers all the agents together.
"We have a crisis our team is getting smaller, Kates been taken and now Ziva has been stabbed while making an arrest at Kate's apartment. Something is
happening and i want it stopped before we lose another agent to these bastards!" Veorn says
"Gas the truck McGee, Abby and Emma i need you two to work togehter to find me something, anything, a phone number a name, anything understood!" Gibbs says
"Yes boss" Abby says
"Yes Gibbs" Emma says
"Everyone else follow me" Gibbs says motioning to the director also
"Why me Jethro?" the director asks
"Because we are two agents down and we need all the help we can get!" he says
