Hey everyone sorry it's been so long I've had a bad case of writers block and I got a new computer but I am back and ready to write. So on with the story. No I don't own Hawaii Five-0 or NCIS if I did I would live in a much better house than I do now.(So this is a reposting of the chapter I realize when I posted it last night I thought I had reread over the chapter and fixed its mistakes but I didn't. It was kind of late so here is a slightly better edited chapter.)

Maria looks at the door and there stands her mother and children. Not that she wasn't happy to see them, but with what was going on right now she didn't want them to get hurt.

"Mom not that I'm not glad to see you but you need to leave DC right now. Go to Grandpa Jack's in Stillwater and stay there." Maria says

"I just got here, I'm not leaving yet. Besides your hurt I need to be here with you." Her mother argues.

"The best place for you is to be out of DC."

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what is going on and why were you shot."

Maria looks at her mother and signs

"Danny will you take the kids to get something to snack on while I talk to my mother, please" Maria asks Danny, not wanting the kids to know what was going on.

Danny nods and takes the kids down to the cafeteria.

Maria explains everything to her mom and Jackie silently cries.

"Is that why you never told me about that summer?" Maria nods

"So will you please get out of DC, go to Grandpa Jacks and stay there please." Maria says

"Fine I'll go, but I expect you to catch this person soon and stay alive. If you die you are in so much trouble."

"Glad to that we understand each other. Now please call my husband and let me see my children." Maria says

Danny comes back in with the kids and Maria spends some time with them. When the doctor comes to change her bandages everyone leaves the room.

"So doc think I can leave sooner than expected?" Maria asks

"I guess that depends on how well you do tonight, if there are no complications and you promise to take it easy. I mean real easy you can't lift more than 5lbs with that arm. I don't see why you can't leave tomorrow morning, afternoon at the latest." the doctor tells her.

When the doctor is done and leaves everyone comes back in the room.

"So good news is if I do well tonight I get out of here tomorrow, I know I won't be able to do field work. But at least I'll be doing something, not just sitting here watching TV all day." Maria tells everyone

"You sure you're feeling well enough to leave? Gibbs asks

"I am, and with my family so close by now I want to catch this guy before he can do anything more to hurt my family."

Later that night Maria is sleeping and starts to dream of what could have happen if the bullet had done worse damage to her, and how her family would suffer without her.

The next morning Maria is gets good news and is able to leave the hospital, she just about runs out but is stopped by her husband and uncle.

"So mom and Grandpa Jack are safely in Stillwater, right"

"Yes they made it there late last night, they have a few agents with them. So no worries." Danny tells her.

Maria nods and sits back on the hospital bed waiting for the nurse to bring a wheelchair for her to be wheeled out on. Maria looks at the chair and looks back at her husband, silently asking if she had to ride in it.

Danny just looks at her and helps her up and puts her in the chair. Maria folds her arms and just sits there, but still happy that she is leaving.

Back at NCIS everyone is trying to figure out who this killer is, trying to see if they could find any more video on her.

The elevator "Bings" and Maria, Danny, and Gibbs walk out slowly making their way to a desk. Maria sits at Tony's desk and leans back in his chair.

"So what have you guys got since I've been gone?" Maria asks.

"Not much more than we had when you went into the hospital." Tim says

"We checked the camera's from where you were shot at and there was no one near with a gun." Tony says

"Did you check around the area? The bullet that hit me was a far range so they could have been at least a couple blocks away." Maria says

Abby runs in and stops at Tony's desks and hugs Maria softly.

"I missed you too Abs, please tell me you have something for me." Maria says hugging Abby back.

"Well if you turn to the screen I've been working with the bullet and your right it was shot from a couple blocks away." Abby says showing everyone a virtual model of when Maria was shot. "It looks like it came from this building here," Abby's says zooming in on a building two blocks from where everything happened.

"Find out everything you can on that building," Gibbs says

"Boss there's nothing there it's just an abandoned building," McGee says "Actually it's set to be torn down in about a week."

"Get hold of the people taking it down and let them know we will be there in soon."

Gibbs leads his team and Emily's team to building leaving Maria's team to keep looking at city cameras.

When Gibbs and the group get to the building they split into different groups each group taking a different floor. Each group had a radio and camera to record what they found. The bottom floors just held what looked like homeless peoples stuff before the building was set for demo.

As Gibbs got higher he and Emily got to the 8th floor and started to look around.

"It looks like anyone who was squatting here, they didn't really come up past the 5th floor." Emily said looking around. "I don't blame them, some of those stairs looked and felt bad, they must have figured if they went any higher they might get stuck or end up falling down."

They look around and can't find anything, then Gibbs phone rings.

"What have you got for me Ab's?"

"Well from what we can tell the shot came from the 8th floor or higher, but be careful we just got word from the owner he said that the stairs are really coming down and only a light person should even go higher than the 8th floor."

"Thanks Ab's we can send Misty up, she is the lightest and the most skilled to navigate those stairs." Emily says

Once they get the rest of the group back together they set Misty with a camera and send her up the stairs.

They watch the feed from Misty's camera and keep a look out for anything. Just as Misty was about to turn and come back down Gibbs spots something.

"Misty in that corner right in front of you, can you get in closer."

When she gets closer a hole is visible and it's just big enough for a sniper rifle and scope to fit through.
"I think we just found our spot." Misty says

"Is there anything left behind?" Emily ask

"Umm not really just looks like a hole was carver out of the wall and the bitch didn't even try to cover it back up. Other than that there's not much here."

"Take a couple pictures and then come back down, carefully." Emily tells her sister.

As Misty was making her way back down she saw a crudely drawn dead cartoon character and as she was about to reach for it the floor gives away.

So I know I left it on a cliffhanger, and I will try my best to update again soon, just something's have been going on, But I promise to have a chapter up as soon as I can. Also I love getting reviews, but if you are just going to tell me that it was a waste of your time to read my story either don't leave a review or be a big enough person to not do it anonymously. Love you all
