The next morning in NCIS
Team Gibbs was working in the bullpen. They had a case and it was practically no evidence. McGee was going through the bank statements and phone logs, Tony dealed with the co-workers and Ziva was working on finding the missing car. Gibbs sat behind his desk and watched his team work. He had a feeling like something was wrong, like something is not how it's supposed to be. There wasn't the familiar sound of heels clicking or a woman shouting at her workers. She was probably stuck in MTAC or in her office staring at the Frog. Gibbs told that to himself, though it didn't take away that gnawing feeling inside. But he thought it was about the case and nothing else. He was wrong.
Later that day
Team Gibbs was still working on their case. McGee and Ziva were checking out a lead, while Tony sat in bullpen with Gibbs.
'' Tony, have you seen the director ? '' Gibbs asked suddenly.
'' Not since yesterday. She is probably in MTAC running some kind of mission to get La Grenouille, '' Tony said without looking up.
'' You're probably right, but I haven't seen her the whole day, '' Gibbs said.
'' To think, it has been oddly quiet the whole day. I haven't seen her, or heard her the whole day, '' Tony raised his head. He looked at Gibbs, who gave him a look, that Tony couldn't quite read.
'' Should I check on her ? '' Gibbs asked. The question surprised Tony and Gibbs himself. He didn't mean to ask anything like that.
'' You could do that, but I doubt that she'll be satisfied, when you storm into her office and interrupt something, '' Tony said.
'' You have a point. I'm sure everything is okay, '' Gibbs said, though he didn't believe, what he just said.
'' Yeah, it probably is nothing, '' Tony agreed. He had a sense that Gibbs didn't believe it and to be honest, then neither did Tony. It was weird. Jenny's shouting is usually heard, specially since the Troy Webster and Charles Haro almost got La Grenouille for her. Almost. Okay, if she wasn't shouting, then her heels clicking angrily on the floor could be heard. She always wore high heels, that made most of the men in the office wonder, how she does it, including Tony and Gibbs. She was always working, she came in before the others and usually left sometime in the middle of the night. It was really odd to hear nothing from her the whole day. Not to admit it, but a weird feeling crept in Tony and it said that something is not right.
***NCIS***
That night Gibbs walked to Jenny's office. It was late and everybody else had left already. He kept on looking any signs of her, but there wasn't any, so he decided to check on her.
He stood behind the door. Usually he'd storm through those doors without thinking, but this time he listened behind the door if she was there alone or on phone. Maybe he'd get reassured that she is there and she is okay, but he had been there for 5 minutes already and everything seemed to be quiet. Slowly he opened the door. Jenny's office was empty. The desk was neat and it looked like she hadn't been in at all, because the blinds were closed and Jenny never does that. The cleaner hasn't been there yet, so the blinds are supposed to be open.
'' Jenny ! '' he called just in case.
There was no reply.
Gibbs checked the bathroom just in case, but it was empty. The creepy feeling in his gut rose again and stronger than before. Something was not right.
He ran to the parking lot and sat in his car. He drove fast until he reached Jenny's townhouse. The lights were out. It was not that late for her to be asleep, so why were the lights out ? He walked to the door and rang a bell. The other side was quiet. He grabbed for his gun and broke into Jenny's home. He checked every room quietly, but it was empty. Where was Jenny ? Why wasn't she at work ? Is she alright ? What happened ? The questions started popping in Gibbs's head. The bad feeling in his gut grew stronger by the second. He knew that something was wrong.
A few moments later Gibbs found, that the easiest way to reach someone is to call them. In a second he slipped his phone open and dialed Jenny. A flash of hope rose in him, but It disappeared once she reached Jenny's voicemail. Somehow he knew that Jenny needed him and he had to save her, but he had no idea about her whereabouts and actions. He had nothing. He walked to the study in case he could find something that leads him to Jenny. He was hopeful.
