Ducky put his coat and hat on before driving to Gibbs' house before midnight.
He opened the front door that Gibbs always left unlocked and headed down to the basement turning on the lights as he went.
"Jethro!"
Ducky peered into the basement from the top of the steps and saw Gibbs lying on the floor.
Ducky rushed over and felt Gibbs' pulse. There was a faint beating which was slowly fading. Ducky reached for his cell phone and called an ambulance. Within minutes he heard the sirens in the distance.
Tony was about to call McGee when his cell phone vibrated.
"McGee? I was just about to call you. Ziva's missing."
"What? I was calling to tell you that Gibbs is in the hospital."
Tony took a deep breath. "He really wasn't fine, was he? What's wrong with him?"
"There still checking him. Ducky's with him and so is Abby."
"Well, probie looks like it's up to you, me, and Abby to find Ziva. Meet me at the office and bring Abby." Tony said before hanging up.
Twenty minutes later Tony, McGee, and Abby were assembled in the squad room.
"We need to do anything we can to find Ziva. She was taken 1 hour ago and we still haven't got a ransom call, which means they're taking their time or…she's gone. But let's stay positive and get to work."
Tony continued. "McGee try and trace her cell phone. Abby figure out how Evans got out of these." He ordered tossing her his pair of handcuffs.
Ring! Ring! McGee walked over to Gibbs' phone. "The numbers blocked."
"It's him. McGee start a trace." Tony took a deep breath before answering. "Hello."
"I have your agent. If you don't send 100,000 dollars to the Vietnam Memorial in 12 hours I'll slowly make sure you never see her again." Then the line went dead.
"McGee?"
"I'm sorry."
Abby spoke up. "I listened to your conversation again. The voice is altered to hide the real voice."
"All right, so he had almost 2 hours to get out of there."
"So they could be anywhere." McGee said. "He must have had an accomplice to get out of there with the handcuffs on."
"Oh! And they took my car. Put out a BOLO on a 2008 black Toyota. Virginia license plates…um ZDD-TD8." Tony told McGee.
"Abby another background check on Evans would be nice. Any property he owns or places he lives close to. I'm going to go back to the crime scene, McGee keep me updated." Tony called gathering his stuff and heading for the elevator.
Ducky waited patiently in the waiting room. He thought about all the cases he had with Gibbs and all the good times they had together. There was indeed a long list.
"Friends and family of Leroy Gibbs?" A doctor asked rousing Ducky from his reverie.
"Yes?"
"One of his lungs collapsed."
So I don't know if your lung could collapse after being hit by a car but it made the story interesting.
Please review. Maybe?
