Eh... long time, no see? I haven't been writing much, because I feel kind of self-conscious about my writing lately. All due to a review I got on one of my Jibbs stories: "Second Chances" (which I took down). I have also been working a lot and it leaves me with slight case of writer's block *sighs*

Summary: Jeopardy- completely AU. You'll see what I mean... hopefully.

There was a terrible feeling in my stomach. A terrible feeling that wasn't morning sickness, something bad was going to happen. Something really bad.

I was standing at the window in my office when I heard my desk phone ring. As soon as I sat down and answered the phone, my blood went cold.

A small voice sobbed, "MOMMY! The... the bad guys gotted me! I wants to go home!"

A rough voice said, '"Sweetheart, say goodbye to your mommy. I'm sure you will see her very soon." The voice was familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Bye, bye mommy! I loves you!"

My heart stopped. Someone had my baby girl. "Who are you and why do you have my daughter?"

The voice chuckled, "You don't know who I am? Director Shepard, I'm shocked. We have quite a history together, starting with your father and I. Oh, and a little place called his study."

Suddenly, it clicked. The familiar voice was that of Rene Benoit, also known as La Grenouille or The Frog. He was right, we do have quite the history. It started ten years ago, when my dad was accused of taking a bribe. During the rush of everything, he died and his death was ruled as a suicide. However, I knew that it wasn't. When I had walked into my dad's study, I saw La Grenouille standing over him. Then in the blink of an eye, my father was shot point-blank in the head. It wasn't suicide, it was murder. Since that day, I have been trying to get justice for my father's death by killing Rene Benoit. Now, I might actually have a decent chance at doing so.

"Rene." The last person I wanted to hear from.

"Ah, yes it is. You're probably wondering why I have little Natalie here with me. Well you see, your agency is holding a shipment of high-powered rifles and their ammunition. I want them back, and in return, I give you back Natalie. Since it's a such a large task, you have five hours to return the rifles and their ammunition. Oh, and Jennifer?"

"Yes, Rene?"

"Come by yourself."

I crumpled to the floor as soon as I set the phone back on it's receiver. My first reaction was to scream, "NO!" and breakdown into a sobbing mess.

The next thing I knew, my office doors flew open and Jethro came running in. "Jenn, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Between the sobbing, all I could manage were choked out words. "HE... HE HAS MY BA... BY GIRL! HE HAS OUR NATALIE!"

I was shaking like a leaf, by the time the whole MCRT was in my office. I gave Jethro a look and he said to them, "Leave us alone for a few minutes."

Ziva, DiNozzo, and McGee left silently. Once the door finally closed, Jethro guided me to the couch and sat down, pulling me to sit on his lap. "Shhh," he hummed while rubbing my back. "Tell me what's wrong."

"La Grenouille, has my daugh... daughter, Natalie held... hostage. He didn't give a specific location, but I know where he's holding her. It's at a small municipal airport, just outside of NYC and more than likely, she's shut away in his private jet. We have five hours to give him back the high powered rifles and ammunitions shipment we have in evidence. He wants me to come alone and I have five hours to return the shipment."

Before he said anything, he gave me a slow chaste kiss. "Don't worry, Jenn. We'll get her back."

It was an hour and a half before we made it close to the airport. We stopped just before turning onto the road leading to the airport. Now it was time to put the plan into action.

Gibbs went into full on, agent mode with his authoritative voice. "Ziva, you keep an eye out on the Director, follow her close and keep your cover as tight as possible. Your job is to relay intel to all of us."

"McGee, make sure to jam all electronic signals and whatever computer things you think are needed. You know what to do."

Jethro pointed to the water tower that rested a block away from where we were standing. "I will be up there, ready to snipe The Frog when given the signal."

"DiNozzo, you're to keep an eye out on me and McGee. I'll be at the top, and McGee at the bottom of the water tower."

After he gave out his orders, I looked at everybody and said, "Please, watch your six."

I had just pulled up to the hanger, just as La Grenouille was stepping off of his jet. "Rene," I said through gritted teeth.

"Jennifer. How nice to see you. I trust that the shipment is in the back of the truck?"

I nodded my head, "Yes, it is. Where is Natalie? Is she okay?"

Rene pursed his lips and replied, "Kid's fine. A few scratches and a bruise or two, but she's just fine."

Once La Grenouille and I walked to the back of the truck, Ziva said the signal to shoot him.

In the blink of an eye, La Grenouille was shot dead via Jethro's Kate sniper rifle. Now, I can get to my baby girl.

Before The Frog hit the ground, I took off running for the jet. When I reached the plane, I wrenched the door open and yelled, "Natalie! Where are you!?"

"MOMMY!" she screamed while she barreled into me, as I was kneeling on the ground.

My baby girl was safe. La Grenouille was dead. Now how in the hell was I supposed to explain that Natalie is Jethro's daughter and why I kept her from him? This was going to be one rough conversation.

This is part one. GK-4 was supposed to be a one-shot, but I felt it best to separate it into two pieces.

The sequel for And Still, is in the works. First though, I am going to try and work on two stories who are overdue for an update (Chaotic Happiness My Maria).

Anyway, I do hope y'all enjoyed this part! xx
