A/N Thank you to Nacole for all her hard work. There is only one more chapter to go.

Steve managed to get a key from a hotel member of staff so they could open the room door. There lying on the floor bleeding was Fornell. Gibbs rushed to his side, while Danny called for an ambulance.

"Tobias?"

"It was Sacks; he was interrupted before he could finish the job. He disappeared out of the window. Whoever tried to get in here realised they'd got the wrong room or had forgotten something, either way, it saved my life." He coughed wincing.

"Okay, you explained, now shut up," Gibbs ordered, as the paramedics arrived. He moved away so they could work on his friend.

It didn't take the two NCIS agents, to say goodbye to everyone and promise to keep in touch. There was nothing left for them to do in Hawaii, but they had to get back to Washington to make sure that their teammate was safe.

Tom looked up as his office door opened and smiled.

"Gibbs, DiNozzo, it's good to see you both, hello Agent Kort."

"Getting settled in Tom?" Gibbs asked.

"I can now as I've been named the director of NCIS officially. They offered it to Vance, but he can't leave Hawaii as you know. How's his son?"

"He's doing well now that he has a 'friend' in Grace," Kort answered.

"So you know everything?" Tony waved a hand between him and Gibbs.

Tom laughed. "Yes, I know everything and when we're alone." It was clear that he wasn't sure if the room was bugged. "We can chat about it. Oh, and I have some unfortunate news for you Agent Kort."

"And that is?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that Assistant Director Roper was in a 'terrible' accident and didn't make it."

Kort knew precisely what was going on and was glad that it had been dealt with quickly. "The agency has lost 'an extraordinary man'. I'd better call the agency to see if they need me. I'll talk to you later." With that, he walked out of the office, and there stood open-mouthed were Ziva and McGee. Kort winked at them and laughed as he passed them.

Sacks threw his cell onto the hotel room bed. Roper had been discovered and taken out. Things had been going so well, and now it was all falling apart. There hadn't been any word on the death of Fornell, so the stubborn bastard must still be alive. If only he hadn't been interrupted, no matter he still had to carry on. Now he had to sort out a hiding place and continue from behind the scenes.

They hadn't stayed at the office for long. Morrow had told them to go home. Gibbs had ordered Ziva and McGee to get back to work; it wouldn't be long before they headed over to his place. As soon as they'd arrived back at Gibbs', Ducky and Abby were there waiting for them.

"We need a quick update before Timmy and Ziva arrive," Abby whispered urgently.

He unlocked the door and in they walked, but before they could talk about anything a car came screeching to a halt outside the house.

"Ziva," Gibbs growled.

The other two members of the team walked in. Ziva headed straight towards Tony. Ducky sat on one side of his young friend, and Abby dropped into the space on the other side. She glared at them and when no one moved Ziva finally moved over to the chair and sat down. Tim stood by the door, and Gibbs was by the fireplace.

"How have things been?"

"Timmy has a new girlfriend." Abby blurted out.

"Oh really, tell me all about her." He hated the fact that Tim was being used. Tony really hoped that his little probie wasn't indeed in love.

"She's beautiful, English and elegant. I'm so happy." That was all he was going to say on the matter.

"So what happened in Hawaii?" Ziva interrupted, she knew all about the girlfriend. She wanted to know what happened, so she watched as Tony and Gibbs glanced over at each other, something was going on. Why wouldn't they tell her about it?

"We didn't manage to get to the bottom of who took Tony and Danny or the reason why. We also couldn't stay any longer we do have jobs." Gibbs replied.

"Well, maybe, if I had gone it would have been solved." She lifted her head and eyed them arrogantly. As soon as she met Gibbs gaze, Ziva quickly changed the subject. "Where's Director Shepard?"

"How would we know, we haven't been here?" Tony threw her a bright grin.

"Since the Director and Gibbs were 'close' I thought he would know what was going on?" Ziva pushed, there were too many things that were going on, and no one would tell her anything.

"I'm not going to gossip with you." Gibbs wished he and Tony were alone. He felt on edge, there hadn't been any time for him to check out his home to make sure it was secure. He didn't want his guide to vanish again.

Tony's cell beeped, he glanced at it and then placed it in his pocket. Ziva walked over to his side and gently stroked a hand up his neck. Ducky could see that his old friend was barely holding it together. Something had to be done, and quickly.

"Well, I'm glad to see you both back. We'd all better get back to work. I have bodies to deal with, and you have cases to look at." Ducky grabbed Ziva by the arm and pulled her gently out of the door before anyone could say anything. The other two followed close behind.

Once they were alone, and they had heard the cars leave Tony was on his feet and straight into his sentinel's arms. "I only want you."

"I know, but she's pushing it. What was that on your phone?" He asked as he held Tony tightly.

"My what...oh it was Morrow, he's been in touch with Denning. They're doing everything they can to make sure we're safe. I still can't believe how long people have been waiting for 'our' return." Tony was still paranoid about using 'sentinel and guides'.

Jim lay in bed, his fingers playing with Blair's curls. He'd felt so alone for so long, but things had changed as soon as he met his guide. He bent his head and placed a soft kiss on the head that lay on his chest.

"Hey man, you should be asleep. There's going to be a long day of training and bonding with both adult and baby sentinels, while I deal with the guides."

"How many do you think are out there?"

"I don't know we have to figure out how to find and train them. We can't have them all going to one place, that's just asking for trouble."

"We'll sort it out, we have to." Jim couldn't believe that he wasn't the only one who was different. He wasn't a freak, it was a gift. He snuggled down and closed his eyes, Jim, for the first time felt complete.

Danny and Steve smiled as they watched a sleeping Gracie.

"She's going to be okay, isn't she?"

"Of course Danno, she is your daughter" He paused for a moment. "We'll make sure of it. Come on let's go back to bed." Steve waggled his eyebrows.

"We're going to sleep, I'm just exhausted. It's been a hell of a day."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"All I need is to be in your arms. How are you holding up?"

"I...I don't know, I still can't believe that Catherine betrayed me."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

He took hold of Danny's hand and pulled him towards their bedroom. Everything he needed was in this house.

"Good morning gentleman, please have a seat. We have things we need to discuss, where to go forward," Morrow smiled at them both.

"I want Ziva off my team. She's a danger if we slip up and she talks to her father who knows what could happen."
