CHAPTER 20: THE UNWANTED VISITOR
Emma lays sleeping, Veron is sleeping in the chair opposite her bed he has been there for over 3 hours now and is waiting for her to wake up, he needs
to find out if she can remember anything about the explosion or the fact that she knows who has kidnapped Abby and without her they may not be
able to find her in time before something serious happens.
Several times during the 3 hours Emma moved and screamed but she would still be sleeping, her eyelids twitched during one of the many nightmares
and at one point she reached out for something but then suddenly stopped and her arm fell to the bed. Veron awakens to see Emma looking at the
picture of the scan she hides it as soon as she realises that he is awake.
"Good morning boss" Emma says
"I need to talk to you" Veron says
"What is it? is something wrong?" Emma asks
"I need you to remember" Veron says seriously
"Remember what?" Emma asks
"The explosion" Veron says
"What explosion?" Emma asks
"In the lab" Veron says
"There was an explosion in the lab!?" Emma said trying to sit up
"Easy" Veron said "I have been putting it off for a while as the nurses didn't think you could handle the stress"
"What about Abby?" Emma asked
"She has been kidnapped" Veron says
"By the same people who have taken Kate?" Emma asked
"We think so, the good news is that we have got Kate back" Veron says
"How?" Emma asked
"We found her in the lift at NCIS" Veron says "I need you to try to remember what happened"
About 30 minutes later they are still trying to do everything so that Emma can remember what happened.
"Its just not happening" Emma said
"You need to try harder!" Veron says rubbing his forehead "I need coffee, ill be right back"
Veron exits the room and his cell phone rings he looks at the caller I.D. and sees that it is Smith.
"Yeah" he answers
"We got a lead" she says
"Who?" he asks
"Do you remember Craig?" she asks
"Yeah i remember that scumbag!" he says
"He tried to kill Emma the bomb was the same setup as the previous ones he has tried to do to both her house and car we are 100% it was him" she says
"Go get him!" Veron says
"Ziva and I are on the way there now" Smith says
"Call me when you have him in custody!" Veron says putting the phone down
He picks up the phone and calls Gibbs.
"Gibbs" he answers
"Gibbs we need 24 hour watch on Emma we have a feeling she is in danger" Veron says
"Ill send Kate and Tony over" Gibbs says putting the phone down
Ziva and Vicky are making their way to Craig's rented appartment just 10 minutes from the base when Vicky spots the white van that she saw speeding
away from Kate's appartment when they were when Ziva got stabbed.
"There" Vicky says and points
"Is that the van?" Ziva asks
"Yeah i think we should follow it see where it goes" Vicky says
"We need tpo go to Craigs house to question him" Ziva says
"That will have to wait, it might show us where Abby is" Vicky says
"We could both get fired for this! Ziva says truning the car around in the middle of the road
"I know but i have a feeling i can't ignore" Vicky says
They follow the van for about 20 minutes until they come to an abandoned warehouse in the middle of a forrest looking warehouse, a man and two women
stepped out of the van and made their way towards the building they all enter the building and return a few minutes later.
"We need to get a better look" Vicky says
"How about over there" Ziva says pointing to a small shed a few feet from the building
"Lets go" Vicky says
They both draw their weapons and head towards the shed diving behind trees and bushes so the the three people do not see them. They reach the shed and
kneel down on the floor making sure that they are not being watched, they stay there for a few minutes and watch the two women enter and exit the building.
They hear one of the women talking and signal to the man as they see Abby being taken into the back of the van. Suddenly one of the women look towards
the direction of Vicky and Ziva, they quickly throw themselves to the ground careful not to be seen.
"Oh my god!" Ziva says
"What, did they see us?" Vicky asks
"No, but i know who those women are" Ziva said
"Who?" Vicky asks
"Those are the FBI agents Best and Minion!" Ziva says
"We've gotta tell our bosses they have someone on the inside" Vicky says taking out her cellphone and calling Veron
Ziva takes out her cell and calls Gibbs and tells him what they have seen and that they will need to be more careful not due to the fact that they know everything
about the case. They head back towards the car and speed of to question Craig, it takes them 30 minutes due to their detour and finally arrive at the appartment
in enough time to stop him from leaving.
"Well if it isn't Vicky!" Craig says
"Thats agent Smith to you" Vicky says
"Mr Curzon we would like to have a little chat with you" Ziva says
"Thats a shame as i am just heading out, maybe another time?" He says heading towards his car as Vicky grabs him and throws him into the wall
"No now" Vicky says
"Fine, i don't even know what this is about!" Craig says
"Do you know an Emma Harvey?" Ziva asks
"Of course he does!" Vicky says looking at Ziva
"Vicky calm down i have to ask them" Ziva says "I repeat do you know Emma Harvey?"
"Yes that name rings a bell" he says smugly
"Where were you on the 9th between 1700 and 1900?" Ziva asks
"I was here all night with a friend" he says
"What friend?" Vicky asks
"Andrew Segal, i met him while serving in the gulf a few years back" Craig says
"Do you know where we can find this Andrew Segal?" Ziva asked
"No idea i do know that he lives somewhere in Richmond" Craig says
"Thank you for your time Mr Curzon, we will get back to you if we need anything else" Ziva says
"Emma has my number" He says smugly
"What did u say?" Vicky asks hm getting angry
"How is my mistress?" Craig asks
"She wasn't and never will be yours" Vicky says
"Not even now she is carrying my child?" Craig says smiling
"What are you talking about?" Vicky asks
"Oh don't you know, she didn't tell you?" he says knowing he has something over her
"That would never happen" Vicky says
"She just couldn't keep her hands off me" he says laughing
"Neither can i!" Vicky says punching Craig in the face and then heading towards the car
"She will come back to me" Craig says holding his nose
"Not if i have something to do with it" Vicky says as they drive off
