The Dinozzo Family Undercover

Chapter 16

After I had finished clearing up lunch, I awaited a call from Tony or for him to walk through the door but none of it happened.
As each minute past, I became more and more anxious.
What if he was taken on the way home by the killer?
What if Jean and Marcus were secretly the killers and had shot Tony while I wasn't there?
He could of been knocked over by a car or gone to the pub with a random neighbour for all I know.

To take my mind off it, i went upstairs and played with Tali while Matthew was napping in the next room.
Her room was kitted out with some really cool toys. She had an olaf tea set, a plastic kitchen set with a oven that lights up and lots of dolls and stuff for them.
She even had a whole closet full of clothes for her dollies.
I am not into the whole dressing up dollies and never have been even when I was Tali's age but it was great to see Tali so interested in something. She was obsessed with dolls and we even bought her one for Christmas last year but she didn't bring it with her.
Out of the 5 dolls she had, her favourite was a baby Annabell doll that pees in her nappy when you feed her water. Personally I think that is a bit weird but she loves her. She has big blue eyes and no hair. I don't know what outfit she came in because Tali has changed her clothes so often that it has been mixed up with all the others. Tali named her Ella like Cinderella.
We changed her, fed her water from a little bottle, changed her specially made diaper, bathed her and even put her to bed and by then Tony was still not back.
I was really freaking out now.
I didn't know what to do so I left Tali in her room playing and walked downstairs so that I could call him in peace. Just in case something had happened.
It only took me a couple seconds to find his name as it was on my speed dial. I pressed his picture and waiting for it to ring. It didn't take long to stop ringing and came the dreaded beep and an annoying male voice telling me that his phone was off.
Great just what I needed.
It is a rule to always have your phone on when you are undercover and Tony knows that so either he has been killed or taken and they have pulled the battery out of his phone or he has switched it off. I can't think of any other reason.
I don't know what else to do because I can't just leave because the kids are upstairs.
I do the first thing that comes to my mind which is to call Mcgee. Maybe he can trace where Tony's phone was last used or switch it on remotely so that he can trace it now.
It didn't take long to ring and all I hear is a familiar voice on the other end but it wasn't Mcgee.
"Hey Ziva, what you doing?" a female voice asked.
"Oh Abby, hi I need to talk to Tim right now it's urgent" I say quickly.
"Okay he is right here" she replies as she passes him the phone.
"Hey Ziva, what's so urgent?" he asks.
"I need you to track Tony's phone now" I say with a tad of worry in my voice.
"Okay... May I ask why?" he asks. I can hear the tapping of his fingers on the keyboard.
"We were at one of the neighbours houses but I left because the kids were getting hungry and tired but Tony stayed. We left 3 hours ago and he still hasn't come home and his phone is off" I say worriedly.
"Okay well the computer says that his last known location is 3 doors down from yours. It belongs to an old couple" Mcgee answers.
"I know that's where I left him. can you switch his phone on remotely and see where it is now?" I ask.
"Yes I can, I downloaded apps on everyone's phones that helps me do that it will just take a minute" Mcgee says.
While I am waiting, I put my phone on speaker and place it on the living room table while I hurry around, tidying the pillows on the sofa and trying to keep myself busy.
"Ziva, it's not letting me access Tony's phone. This isn't good. This means that either his phone has run out of battery or they have removed the battery. There is nothing else I can do, I'm sorry" Mcgee said sadly.
"it's okay Mcgee, you tried your best. I've got to go so I will talk to you later" I said with a hint of disappointment in my voice.
"Talk to you later bye" Mcgee replied as the call disconnected.
I grabbed my phone and walked out of the living room and up the stairs towards my now crying baby.
I took Matthews out of his cot and placed him in my arms and calmed him down before walking out the room but then I hear the door open.
I quickly ran into Tali's room and placed Matthew in her dolls cot even though he was a bit too big for it. I told Tali to keep an eye on him and not let anyone in until I come back before slowly walking down the stairs, towards the door where a guy was standing.
He had his back turned to me so when I got in range, I pulled out my gun and aimed at him as I walked the rest of the way down the long stairs.
