"Who you texting?" McGee asked, looking over my shoulder. "Didn't you already date a girl named Ellie?"

"Aren't you supposed to be doing something productive McLoser?" He nodded, walking to the elevator so he could go help Abby.

"5 hours left Captain," the computerized voice inside the office said. "Read the tote."

"I've managed to isolate 900,000" Captain Watson replied.

"I'd move faster if I was you." I knocked 5 times, loud enough to make sure the camera picked it up. "You're learning. You may answer."

"Enter."

I walked through the door, closing it behind me. "Hey Cap'in. Got your sweet and sour with extra pineapples. Though you might want to change your order tomorrow, hear we're getting in some fresh duck." Clicking my tongue, I made a face at him.

"I'll just stick with the usual." He decided.

"Alright, 8.75 today. How's the family doing?"

"Fine, and you?"

"Still having trouble communicating with the girlfriend. I talk, she doesn't listen. But I got some custody rights finally, so it's working out a bit better." In his change, I handed Captain Watson the earwig, just like the ones we used to use in Boston. "What are you gonna do?" I cleared my throat, as extra as I could.

"Oh, yeah, sure, for you." He handed me a couple of bills back.

"Thanks Captain. See you tomorrow."

"Freeze. Open your lunch, show it to the camera. NOW." I heard from inside. Followed by a chuckle, and an enjoy.

I called Gibbs to let him know I'd finished the job, and got a 'good work' in return.

"Thanks boss, means a lot."

"NCIS doesn't work out, I hear General Wei's Chinese Restaurant is hiring." he hung up before I could reply, so I just sighed and closed my phone. "At least I'll get the sweet n' sour chicken free."

...

Watching the feed from MTAC as Captain Watson tried to negotiate for his daughters release was ridiculously hard. All we could do was sit and watch Watson panic for 40 minutes afterwards. It made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't imagine what he must be feeling, but I sure knew how much it must've hurt. I can't imagine.

I promised myself I'd never subject Ellie to a situation like that. She'd just replied to another panic text making sure she was okay, so I knew she was safe still. But I understood the worry, and the anxiety.

Suddenly Watsons phone started ringing again. "Answer your phone Captain" the computer insisted.

"Where is she, where's my daughter?"

"I said, answer the phone Captain." We watched him press speaker. . .

"Yes?"

"Daddy?" Sandys voice called from the phone. A fist grabbed my heart. I was all too familiar with scared, tear filled phone calls with distressed little daughters.

"Sandy," the relief breaking in his voice was audible. "Sweetheart, where are you?" Kates mouth was agape, and my fists were clenched.

"I don't know. He let me go, but he said. He said he'll kill mom if I tell anyone what happened." Sandy sobbed back.
