A Pain Never Forgotten (NCIS) - Part Two

Chapter Eleven

A year later

Bang! Crash! Smash!

Kelly jumped up in bed, and clambered out and ran to her kitchen.

"Sorry babe, I just took my eye of him for a second and now that he's walking he just opened up the cupboard door and pulled out those plastic boxes, nothing serious" Tony smiled.
"Its fine there's nothing in there that can hurt him, I moved those to the top cupboards" she said scooping him up.
"Anyways I gotta go to work, can't have your dad getting mad at me" Tony joked kissing both Kelly and TJ on their heads.

Kelly sometimes got bored at home being the stereotypical housewife not exactly the life she had planned a trained killer turned housewife she would never have believed it. She sometimes went in to help the team if a car was involved since she had been trained in mechanics while in England, she would help get the car started or to strip the engine and examine it. Other then that she didn't really have much work to do, she knew after TJ went to nursery she would have to get back in the flow, she knew she couldn't get a job at NCIS it just wouldn't make sense and she could have 'too much Tony'. It was lunch time she knew they needed a few supplies from the shop, but she didn't have the car Tony did she decided to call him so he could pick it all up on the way home.

Ring! Ring!

Great voicemail!

Tony had missed a call from Kelly but noticed the voicemail, he was just about to go to lunch so he decided to listen to it, just in case anything had happened to TJ.

"Hi babe, it’s only me."

Great, she doesn't want anything important just blabbing on he thought to himself, he did love her though

"I was just wondering if you could pick up some supplies from the shop on your way home we just need baby wipes, tortillas, salsa, toilet paper ...

bang! Kelly's voice had trailed off, Tony heard the banging in the background and just assumed TJ was playing up he continued listening to the message to see if she said anything else. The phone was silent for a while, he heard a small gasp from Kelly

"What do you think you're doing here? ... How did you find me?"

Tony started to become agitated but couldn't stop listening who was she talking to? What was happening? Was she safe?

He heard a male voice who had a funny accent that he didn't recognise "like we would ever lose track of you, we're always following you, we know everything, you're ours like we would let you go"

Kelly's voice continued her tone was strong but Tony could tell that she was scared "leave please, this is my home and you are not welcome, leave now! You know more then most people what I am capable of I haven't lost it, I wouldn't think twice"

Tony heard the same unfamiliar male voice again, he was panicked he wanted to drop the phone and run home but he knew he needed to stay and listen he might need the team if something had happened to Kelly. "Yes, we know about your brat and your boyfriend Anthony DiNozzo yeah? This is how we knew you were home alone. So where is this child he's ours too"

"You would have to kill me before you got to my son" She replied fiercely.

Tony heard the phone hit the wooden flooring in their home, he could hear pushing and shoving he heard some glass smash and the man groan, he then heard a loud crack and a heavy thud on the floor like someone falling.

End of message the phone operator confirmed. Tony was in shock but as soon as he saw Gibbs he knew what he had to do.
"Gibbs, Kelly is in trouble she was in the middle of leaving me a voicemail when someone broke into the apartment" Tony explained.
"Let's role, McGee, Ziva you guys too, tell us the rest in the car Tony"

As the reached the apartment and Tony leapt out the door the second the car stopped, he ran up the stairs and used his key to open the now closed door it had an automatic lock so he assumed the intruder had left he raised his gun and stepped in with Gibbs, McGee and Ziva in toe. He saw some glass ornaments smashed that used to be on top of the fireplace it looked like someone had been pushed into them, there where tiny specks of blood but nothing life threatening. They all began to search the rooms of the apartment with Tony taking TJ's bedroom, he was awake in his cot just playing with a teddy.

"Oh God" Tony cried as he fell to his knees in front of the crib, dropping his gun. "You’re safe"
"Dad!!" TJ mumbled as he pointed at Tony. Tony stood up and scooped up the little boy, he hugged him and checked him over, he seemed fine he looked into his sons bright blue eyes that reminded him so much of Kelly and Gibbs, he heard the rest of his team call clear so he turned back to the living room.

Everyone glanced at each other and gave a sigh of relief TJ was here safe and well, but no one had Kelly.
Tony sat on the sofa hugging his son tightly to his chest fighting the tears that were trying their hardest to burst out of him.

"TJ's safe, Kelly is trained, we'll find her" Ziva said grabbing Tony's shoulder. They all stopped and looked at Gibbs. They needed him now!

"Damn right we will, I'm not losing my daughter again!"
