"Boss!" McGee yelled. He had found something inside of the pay phone.
"What McGee?" He hands the evidence bag to Gibbs. He just starred at McGee waiting for an explanation.
"OH…um…I was looking at this pay phone" he points to the phone showing what he did. "Then I opened it to get the change out so we could check them for prints. It was in the change box." Gibbs didn't say anything he just starred at the bag. "Boss I think he knew we would check here."
"McGee get Tony and meet me at the car." McGee did exactly as told. On the way to the car he explained what he had found.
"Boss, can I see it?" Tony asked reaching for the bag. "That's weird." He said walking around to the passenger's side of the car.
"What is?" McGee asked. By now they were in the car and on their way to NCIS.
"Well it was written in blood right?" Tony asked rhetorically
"DiNozzo." Gibbs didn't want to here what he already knew.
"Right. Well obviously this man is pretty smart. He wouldn't ruin his plan by using his own blood or someone else's. It has to be Abby's unless he suddenly got really stupid."
"We still should test it in case." McGee added.
"Well duh McGeek but what I was trying to say was that maybe he did it in blood knowing it would slow us down if we were focused on the blood test. All I'm saying is that we should focus on other clues that will help us."
"What did you find in the store?" Gibbs asked seeing if they had any other 'clues' to focus on.
"Nothing there was unusual." Tony didn't say anything else. Gibbs looked angry that they had found nothing but a misleading note.
They all arrived back at NCIS in no time. Ziva was standing in front of the plasma watching the surveillance tapes. She hadn't found anything unusual either.
Gibbs comes storming out of the elevator and stands next to Ziva drinking his coffee and not saying a word. "I have not found anything. Only one person has gone to the phone booth so far and he did not put anything in it." They waited silently as she fast forwarded through the video. She stopped it seeing someone in a navy blue hoody, hood up covering the face of course, and jeans walked toward the pay phone. He opened the cash box slipped something inside then made the call. Ziva spoke as she shook her head and pointed to the screen "Well that has to be our guy. The one that was with Abby was wearing all black. He could not have left Abby, changed his clothes and made it to the pay phone in time to call. He must have an accomplice." Gibbs threw his half full coffee in the trash and walked toward the elevator.
"Boss?" Tony asked.
"I need coffee."

McGee and Ducky had taken the note to the lab. While they were waiting for the blood test to come back they studied what was written on the note in what they assumed to be Abby's blood. They kind of hoped the man that kidnapped her was stupid and used his own blood but they knew that even a 10 year old wouldn't be that dumb. As Ducky studied the note McGee paced back and forth waiting for the test to come back. "Timothy, why don't you sit down? It is going to be a while before we get the results. Give your self a break."
"Ducky, who would take her? Why would they take her? What has she done to disserve this? Nothing, that's the answer, and who would want to kidnap and torture such a smart, beautiful, funny, and full of life person?" At this point McGee's face was red with anger form yelling. Ducky got up and set the note down, walked over to McGee and lifted his hands to his shoulders.
"Timothy, you listen to me. Abigail is strong she is going to be fine, Jethro will find her and you know that. Please just sit and calm down. Help me figure out how this note could help us find her." The whole time Ducky was speaking McGee was shaking his head in disagreement. "What is it?" Ducky said in a rather harsh tone.
"What if Gibbs doesn't find her. What if that terrible man kills her? Sure she is strong but if he takes a knife to her throat or a gun to her head how is supposed to be strong enough to stop that. No human is. This isn't supposed to happen to her." McGee was freaking out again.
"You need to calm down." Ducky walked him to Abby's chair and sat him down. "Here." He hand the note to McGee. McGee reads it to himself for the 6th time.
NCIS,
Why don't you just give up already? You are never going to find me, or…her for that matter. She is all mine now and no one can keep her from me. Not work, not new boyfriends or old ones that happen to be still in her life. No one but me is here now. So GIVE UP!
Poor Abby that must have worn her finger out. It was a whole lot of writing to write with the blood from your own finger. McGee noticed a small wrinkle and discoloration at the bottom of the paper. In was in a small circle no bigger than half a centimeter wide in diameter. "Ducky what does this look like to you?" he asked pointing at the place on the bottom of the note.
"Why it looks like a dried tear drop."
"That what I was thinking." This made McGee more sad than mad. That basterd was making her cry and he wasn't there to comfort her. "Why do you think he is trying so hard to get us to give up? I mean anyone would know that telling someone not to do something is just going to make them want to do it more. But if he is serious about having Abby all to himself why would he tempt us?"
"I honestly don't know. Those are the questions I have been asking my self since I first read it." Ducky looked McGee in the eye.
"Ducky we have to find her. I need her."
"I know Tim. We all need her." McGee walks to Abby's stereo and turns it on, but not loud. "Maybe that will help." He says and grins as walks back to sit with Ducky and study the note some more while still waiting for the test.

Upstairs Tony and Ziva were trying to find something that could help them find Abby. Gibbs had not yet returned. Out of no where Tony asked, "Ok, how did Abby write that note if we have been watching her the last few days. I mean there has always been someone watching her. No one has made her write a note."
"Maybe he made her write it before he put the video up." Ziva suggested.
"Yeah that's possible but how would he know Gibbs wouldn't give up?"
"Well, he did say that Abby told him about Gibbs so she probably said something about him not going to give up."
"That's true."
McGee came into the bull pin. "Well the test came back and it's her blood." McGee was now discouraged. He sat down in his chair and stared at the plasma watching the one he wished he could hold right now. She would always be the one to encourage him on a tough case.
"It is alright McGee. This man is not perfect he will fall up and we will catch him." Ziva's mistake made him smile.
"Its slip up, not fall up." Tony said annoyed.
"What ever. Anyways McGee she will be ok." McGee stands up.
"Why does every one keep saying she is going to be ok? We have nothing that can lead us to her. I mean come on guys be realistic we are probably not going to solve this case and it just happens to be one of our own stuck in the middle."
*SMACK*
"Hey Boss." Tony's voice fades as he realized Gibbs is angry. McGee turns around to face the one who just head slapped him.
"Are you doubting my…our abilities?" Gibbs asked staring him down.
"N...no boss I was just saying it has been almost a week and we haven't gotten any where. Every one keeps saying we will find her and she will be fine but what if we can't and she's not." McGee responded the best he could unsure of the reaction he would get from Gibbs.
"You are right. There is no guarantee that we will find her but until she is dead we aren't going to stop trying. Understand?"
"Of course boss." McGee sits down in his chair and Gibbs stands in front of the plasma staring at Abby who is now sitting against the dark grey wall. Her face was oily and had dried blood and dirt on her cheeks. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail and her shoes were no longer on. Her socks were still pulled to her knees and she was still wearing the same clothes that she was kidnapped in.

She was sitting alone and was quite bored of just being by her self. She had no one to talk to. Some times she would draw on the concrete ground with her nail but she was running out of nails to do it with. She always knew some how when her team or Gibbs was watching her. She signed 'Gibbs I am fine. Tell everyone including your self to stop worrying and tell McGee I am…." As she was signing her last words the door burst open and she quickly put her hands down unsure if the man saw or not.
