/> "Love sick," Abby sighed.

"Kate?"

"Yes."

"I knew it. Does she know?"

"No. She married and I figured it was best that she didn't know."

Gibbs looked at Abby and sighed. They rode to Kate's house in silence.

A man with blond sandy hair opened the door. He was about 34, Gibbs guessed. The man spoke, "Hi I'm Johnny!"

"You can call me Gibbs," Gibbs said shaking the man's hand.

"And I am Abby," Abby said. She did not like the man right off the bat.

"Gibbs! Abby! I'm in the kitchen!" Kate called. Ducky and McGee stood in there talking with glasses full of wine.

"It smells good Kate," Gibbs said as Johnny pored their new guest some wine.

"Thanks," Kate smiled. Dinner was filled with laughter and smiles. But no one on the team liked Johnny. He seemed shady. Abby's phone rang.

"Sorry!" She said getting up from the table and walking into the living room, far away from the dinning room table, "Hello?"

"Hi, this is Mike from the cops bar," Mike said.

"Oh hi Mike! What can I do for you?" Abby asked cheerfully.

"Tony is really drunk, like really. I don't want to put him in a cab, do you mind picking him up?"

"Not at all! Be there in five!" Abby sang. She texted Gibbs and McGee the same message:

Tony is drunk, going to pick him up.

Don't tell Kate.

TTYL.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Abby walked back into the room, "I am really sorry, a friend is locked out of her house. I need to go help her!"

"It's fine Abby!" Kate said getting up, walking her friend to the door.

"Thanks again, the food was great! And Johnny is very nice," Abby said grabbing her coat.

"Abbs, I was your ride," Gibbs called.

"I drive you home Gibbs," Kate said.

"Thanks again!" Abby called from the car as she dove away towards the bar.


"Tony?" Abby called as she mad her way into the bar.

"YEEESSS!" Tony's voice came echoing through the small but busy place. The bar tender smiled at her as she made her way through the crowd, "Tony come on time to go!"

"But I don't wanna!" Tony wined, he sounded like a little kid.

Abby sighed, she had to lie to him, "Kate is waiting for you!" Tony practically ran out the door and Abby followed.

"Where?" Tony looked like a dog.

"At my place," Abby said as she helped Tony into her car and ran around to the driver's side and drove to her apartment.

"I don't see her," Tony pouted as they walked through the front door.

"Tony why would you get drunk?" Abby ask closing the door.

"Because," Tony let out a loud sigh and ran his fingers threw his messy hair, "I love a woman, who is married and won't love me back."

"Wow! What happened to the Tony DiNozzo we know and love? He would sweep a girl off her feet and brag about it the next day to McGee. He drives Ziva to the point where she wants to kill him! Where is that man?"

"Beats me," Tony shrugged and flopped down on the couch. Abby sighed and rolled her eyes. She grabbed a pillow and blankets and went back into the living room, but Tony was already lying on her couch, mouth wide open, snoring loudly. Abby smiled and shook her head and went to bed herself.

"Tony?" Abby called as she made her way through her apartment the next morning. She found a note on the kitchen table:

Work.

Abby smiled and got dressed for work and made her way to the Navy yard. She walked threw the bull-pen and found the team, expect for Kate working, "Where's Kate?"

"We don't know!" Tony said in a worried voice.

"Tony!" Gibbs barked.

"What?" Tony jumped.

"Relax! She's a trained agent. She protected the president!" Gibbs barked again. Abby started to get worried to. She made her way do to her lab.

Gibbs' phone rang, "What?" McGee and Tony all watched their boss' face; go from annoyed, to worried, to scared. And Gibbs was never EVER worried. He slammed his phone down on his desk. And spoke, "He's got her."

"Who?" Tony asked freaking out.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK?" Gibbs barked.

"Arie?" Ziva asked.

"He is dead remember?" Tony asked with an eye roll.

"Her husband," Gibbs spat and made his way up stairs to Vance's office.

"You can't go in there!" The red-headed woman said. But Gibbs didn't care. He opened the door so fast that it hit the wall.

"Who do you think you are?" Vance asked.

"What the hell did you do?" Gibbs asked back.

"What do you mean?" Vance asked.

"I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE FBI SAYING YOU DID SOMETHING TO HELP KATE'S HUSBAND KIDNAPP HER!" Gibbs screamed.

"I did nothing!" Vance stayed calm.

"Bull shit!" Gibbs stormed out and slammed the door again.


Gibbs came flying down the stairs with a red pissed off face. Tony gathered his guts and spoke first, "Boss what's going on?"

"He has her!" Gibbs yelled.

"Who?" Ziva asked.

"Who the hell do you think? The muffin man?" Gibbs yelled again.

"I'll run a back-round check on Johnny," Tony called.

"I'll do phone calls," McGee called.

"I'll talk to his boss," Ziva said. The clicking of keys rang through out the bull=pen.

"No need," Gibbs said.

"Why?" Tony nearly yelled.

"Because, we are going to scare the shit out of this guy. Grab your gear!" Gibbs called and walked to the elevator. It was a mad rush to get to Johnny and Kate's house. Gibbs didn't even turn off the car and Tony was already out of the car banging on the front door.

"Tony!" Johnny smiled.

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?" Tony yelled.

"Down DiNozzo," Gibbs said pulling Tony back.

"Who?" Johnny said. Tony stared him down.

"The muffin man!" Gibbs rolled his eyes, "You moron, we are talking about your wife!"

"Oh Kate? She left for work!" Johnny said. The whole team could smell the fact he was lieing.

"Well she never showed up! And she isn't answering her phone," McGee said.

"Hate to break it to you, but I have no clue where she is!" Johnny said.

"Listen here Shaggy. I swear to God if you don't tell me where the hell Kate is I will smack you so hard, you will be landing in another country. Are we clear?" Tony said through his teeth as he pushed him up against the wall.

"Ziva, do you thing," Gibbs said. Ziva stepped aside with a car battery and some jumper cables.

"What are those for?" Johnny asked.

"Your balls," Ziva said grabbing him. Tony helped Ziva tie him to a chair.

Johnny watched them, "I will never say word."

"Have fun!" Tony called on his way out the door.

"I am not scared of you!" Johnny spat. Ziva watched him and hooked up the cables to his pants.

"Really?" Ziva went to flick the switch; "You will never have kids after this one."

"OK! OK! I took her to an old warehouse down town!" Johnny said so fast Ziva grinned like the Wicked Witch of the West and flicked the switch. Johnny screamed.

"Ha!" Ziva said spinning around and walking out of the house.

"IT WAS A SET UP? WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" Johnny screamed.

"I would hate to be him," McGee said getting into the car. Gibbs hit the gas and went flying down the block. McGee and Tony gripped on to their seats for dear life. Ziva looked at her nails. Horns were honking left and right as Gibbs flew down the man roads. They couldn't get to the ware house fast enough. Tony was the first one out of the car as he made a made dash into the old place.

"KATE?" Tony yelled at the top of his lungs, "KATEEEEE?"

"Tony!" Kate's voice called out.

"I'm coming!" Tony went hurtling towards the sound of her voice. There in one of there rooms off to the side was Kate, tied to a chair, a mess, dry blood dripping down her face. But it was Kate.

"Tony!" Kate said with a small smile.

"Stay still," Tony said as he cut the ropes and duct tape from Kate. He moved around her and finished cutting everything off of her. Kate threw herself around Tony and started to ball.

"I-I picked the wrong guy!" Kate cried. Everyone had finally caught up to Tony. But Gibbs had pushed them all back letting Tony and Kate have their moment.

"Hey, we all fall for the wrong person!" Tony said soothingly, rubbing Kate's back.

"Don't ever let go of me Tony," Kate said into his shoulder.

"I never will babe."


Tony paced back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital. Abby sat next to McGee who sat next to Gibbs who sat next to Ducky who sat next to Vance.

"DiNozzo! We get it you hope she is OK. But if you don't stop pacing I am going to glue your ass down to the chair! I am worried too!" Gibbs said watching Tony pace. Tony only looked at him and continued to pace. Gibbs let out an annoyed sigh.

Finally a doctor came in, "Tony DiNozzo?"

"Yes?" Tony's head snapped up and looked at the young doctor.

"Caitlin Todd is asking for you. Follow me please," The young doctor looked at Tony, who nodded his head and the doctor walked him to Kate's room.

"The rest of my team would like to talk to you," Tony said as he stood next to Kate's door. The doctor nodded and went back to the waiting room. Tony lightly knocked on the door. No answer, so he opened it slowly. Kate was lying on the bed fast asleep. She had burses on face and arms. She had 3 broken ribs and a broken wrist. She also had a gash in her head. Kate was pale and skinny. Tony walked over and carefully placed a chair next her bed and took her hand and watched her sleep.

"Tony?" She asked after a while and her eyes fluttered open.

"I'm right here," He said softly brushing her bangs out of her face.

"I am so sorry," Kate said quietly.

"For what? Kate as long as you are alive I could careless about what happened in the past."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"One hundred and ten percent," Tony nodded and squeezed her hand.

"Thanks for finding me."

"Any time buddy. Do you remember that time we stayed over that house and you were singing in the shower?" Tony asked and snorted a laugh.

"I also clearly remember the time you almost shot an iguana in your birthday suit," Kate said wit ha weak smile.

Tony blushed a little, "Well now you have seen everything."

"Well I was hoping that you were wearing at least boxers, but after thinking about it, I have blackmail on you," Kate smirked.

"Yeah well I still have that wet tee-shirt picture of you."

"I bet you had it blown up and in your closet.

"I bet you dream about me naked every night."
