The sun was sitting as a man stepped out on to a busy street; his cell phone rang as he started down the street. He pulled out his cell phone and flipped it open.

"Mason." said the man as he walked down the street looking around him, then he turns at the corner and disappears.

"Ok people we have a new case. This is Texas Ranger Carlos Sandoval, his partner Jay Mason is missing; they were scheduled to go back to Texas this morning at five. Ranger Mason wasn't in his room and the last anyone saw him was at seven forty-eight last night as he left the hotel that they are staying at." said Jack Malone as he looked at his team.

"Dose Mason know anyone in or around the city?" asked Sam as they started gathering their things together.

"No. Jay has never been to New York before, and he never said anything about knowing anyone from around here." said Carlos as they hurried out of the office and out of the building. The got over to the hotel very fast and went up to the room. The room was clean, the bed hadn't been sleep in, and the suit case was still unpacked.

"Ok, Martin I want you to go around and see if anyone saw which way he was going. Danny, I want you to go back to the office and pull Ranger Mason's cell phone records and see if he has made any calls since he left the hotel. Sam, go get a list of all the calls made to and from this room since Ranger Mason cheeked in three days ago. Viv, I want you to take Ranger Sandoval and retrace Ranger Mason's footsteps." said Jack, they nodded and off they went to do what they had been told to do.

Three hours later everyone was back at the squad room, they all sat down at the table.

"Ok, what do we got people?" asked Jack as he sat down last.

"Ok, well. Ranger Mason only went a couple of places here in town, the courthouse, the hotel and the airport. But, I found a note pad that I noticed he had jotted some things down on. He had the hours of the Met, like he was going to go; only his partner told me that the Met is not something that he thought that Mason would have gone to. He also had the address of a studio in Time Square in there, we went by and asked if he had been by, most of the people that we talked to said that they had never seen him before, but the manager of the place remembers seeing him last night about five hours before he disappeared. He dropped off one of the DJ's that work there, her name is Amber Wilton, I called and left a message on her phone telling her that we needed to talk with her." said Viv, as she looked at her notes and at the others around the table.

"Good, Viv, real good. Ok, Martin what do you have for me?" said Jack, as he wrote it down in his notes.

"Yeah, uh, he left the hotel at seven forty-eight last night; he turned to the right and headed down the block. He turned to the right again, we were able to track him for about two blocks then he got on to a motorcycle and took off. No one got a look at the plates, but we do have a description of the bike. It's a bluish black Yamaha, it was one of the sports bikes." said Martin, as the others took down what he was saying.

"Ok, that's good. Danny what do you have for me?" asked Jack.

"Ok, I got his cell phone records. He made six calls about thirty minutes after he disappeared. The first one as made to a JT Thorten out in Miami, then after that one he made one to a Will James out in Vegas. The next one was to a Alex Masters out in L.A; the next call was to an Anthony DiNozzo down in D.C. Then he called JD Dunn in Denver, and the last call was to a Kelly Wilson in London, England. Now, I recognized the name DiNozzo, at first I thought that I might have busted him or something. Then I remember where I heard it, he's a NCIS agent. So when I remembered that I ran the names of the other five names, I got nothing on Thorten, Masters, or Wilson, but James is a M.E for Las Vegas and Dunn is a ATF Agent out in Denver. And while I was waiting and a missing person's report came over the wire for both DiNozzo and James, they went missing last night too." said Danny as he looked at his notes and handed out the report about James and DiNozzo. Jack and them looked at it then back up at Danny.

"Great Danny. Ok, Sam what do you have for us?" asked Jack.

"Well, he made a couple of calls, all of them were to an Amber Wilton, I'm thinking that she is the girl at the studio. And that's about it." said Sam as she shrugged.

"Ok, that's alright. So we need to get to get a hold of this Amber Wilton. Sam, I want you and Viv to go down to Texas and search Ranger Mason's house there. We need to know if this might have something to do with his job. So go." said Jack, as Vivian and Sam got up and started getting their things together.

"Danny, I want you and Martin I want you two to get on the phones and find out what you can about Special Agent DiNozzo and Dr. Will James. Once you have everything, I want to sit down and I want a report. Ranger Sandoval, you are going to go over everything that you know about your partner and write it out then your going to tell us, alright people lets get moving." said Jack as they stood up and started working.
