"Where the hell is DiNozzo?" Gibbs demanded.

"I don't know Boss. I'll try calling him." McGee replied.

"He had a late night. I I'd imagine." Ziva added.

"I'm not blind Ziver I know what's going on between you two. Just keep it professional." Gibbs replied.

"Well that's good to know but I did not mean he was doing anything romantic. Breena is at a confrence with her father. So Jimmy came over to his place to watch movies, play video games, and make rude noises." Ziva replied.

"Boss I'm not getting Tony on his home phone." McGee replied.

"Try his cells. Work and personal." Gibbs replied.

"Not ansewring either of those." McGee replied.

"Track him." Gibbs ordered.

McGee nodded and started to work. Gibbs sank into his chair, gut churning and heart pounding. Something was very wrong. None of this was like DiNozzo.

"Boss we have a serious problem." McGee said.

"What?" Gibbs asked nervously.

"The batteries have been removed from both of Tony's cell phone's. He's untrackable." McGee replied.

"David! You and me Tony's apartment let's go!" Gibbs ordered.

"What about me?" McGee asked.

"Stay here in case DiNozzo shows up." Gibbs replied.

"Okay and Boss." McGee replied.

"What McGee?" Gibbs asked.

"Find him." McGee begged.

"Wouldn't be able to show my face here again if I didn't." Gibbs replied.


Ziva and Gibbs headed out to the garage and climbed into the charger. Once they had strapped themselves in Gibbs put the car in drive and sped in the direction of Tony's appointment. Gibbs's knuckles were white as he gripped the stearing wheel. Ziva leaned back into the seat and closed her eyes. Both were trying to hide their fear and couldn't imagine how McGee must feel being alone in the bullpen. Just waiting to find out if his partner was alive or even if there was some mad man who had killed him and was waiting to kill his boss and other partners.


"Timothy?" Ducky asked.

"What is it Ducky?" McGee asked looking up to see Ducky standing over his desk.

"Where are the others?" Ducky asked.

"Gibbs and Ziva went to Tony's place to look for him. What can I do for you?" McGee replied.

"Oh dear Anthony is missing?" Ducky asked.

"It looks that way." McGee replied.

"Oh dear this is worse then I thought." Ducky replied.

"What why?" McGee asked concerned.

"Mr. Palmer never arrived this morning and he has not been answering his cellphone. I was hoping he just overslept. Breena usually gets him up." Ducky replied.


Gibbs and Ziva arrived at Tony's apartment. Where they unfortunately were met with what they had feared. The door was wide open and a trail of blood ran from the kitchen to the front door. Both Gibbs and Ziva felt their hearts drop to the floor. Gibbs looked at Ziva who nodded. Then they walked towards the kitchen. Where they found Tony leaning against the counter covered in blood eyes half open. His personal cell lay by his side the screen was smashed, pieces from another cellphone scattered around the floor, and another smart phone lay crushed on the counter.

"DiNozzo?" Gibbs called shaking his agent lightly.

"NO! DON'T STOP!" Tony yelled thrashing around.

"Tony it's just me and Gibbs." Ziva replied.

"B...Boss? Ziva?" Tony asked.

"Yeah Tony it's us. You're going to be okay." Gibbs assured.

"There were five of them. I tried to stop them but there were so many." Tony replied.

"You are covered with blood what did they do to you?" Gibbs asked concerned.

"Who's is it then?" Gibbs asked.

"Palmer's" Tony replied voice shaking.
