Ncisorigins Stories

Fourteen-year-old Sadie Calloway has survived years of neglect, abuse, and being shuffled through a broken system. When the NCIS Origins team investigates a Marine's death, a faint sound in a basement leads them to a terrified, filthy girl chained to a pipe. Mike Franks becomes her unexpected protector as he and the rest of the team slowly earn her trust. From panic attacks and medical discoveries to her first meal in safety, Sadie's journey forces everyone-including Gibbs-to confront what justice looks like when the victim is a child who's never had a chance. But safety is only the beginning. Healing will take more than rescuing her-it will take patience, compassion, and a team willing to fight for her.

Kaya Franks knows how to blend in. A military brat. A smart kid. A girl who knows the rules of every base she's lived on. But after she's attacked walking home from school, everything she thought she understood about safety shatters. Mike Franks will burn down the world to protect her - and Gibbs isn't far behind. As secrets spread through the base and the boys responsible go into hiding, Kaya must find the courage to speak... before her silence protects the wrong people.

When the body of Malia Whitlock washes ashore on a Navy beach, the NIS team is called to investigate. But nothing prepares Mike Franks for the moment he recognizes her name-because it means one thing: her nine-year-old daughter, Ashlyn, is missing. When Ashlyn is discovered alive but brutally injured, the case becomes personal. Mike, Gibbs, and Tish must uncover the truth behind a hate-driven attack... while helping a silent, traumatized child find her voice again.
