Getting back to the office Gibbs went in search of Jimmy. Not finding him in autopsy he became madder at the man for not only not being where he should have been but also because he didn't want to admit that he was jealous that Tony seemed to trust Jimmy more. When Gibbs finally did find him his anger skyrocketed at the sight of Jimmy hugging a clearly distressed Abby 'Palmer with me.' Gibbs called out in his most normal voice to avoid upsetting the goth further.
'Jimmy I am going to check on the others and take them all a caf-pow. Gibbs be nice to him.' with that a much more determined Abby bounced off happier now she had her own job to do after feeling useless for so long as the LEO's had taken the evidence from the car crash. Once the bubbly goth had disappeared off to do her mission Gibbs rounded on Jimmy 'Who the hell are you that Tony trusts you over the team?' he demanded as he got right in Jimmy's face.
Taken aback slightly he stated firmly 'I'm his friend'
'And I am his Boss!'
Jimmy narrowed his eyes in suspicion at the un-characteristic behavior coming from Gibbs 'He told you didn't he? What did you do?'
'You knew! This was your idea wasn't it? Tony would never do anything so stupid without prompting.' shocked out of his anger Gibbs was looking for some one to blame.
It only took a moment for Jimmy to realize what Gibbs had said 'You said "Tony" what, did you string him along? tell him you wanted him to? Tony was finally getting over you. You left and when you came back you dismissed everything he worked to achieve.'
'He had Jeanne Benoit, he didn't need me.'
'He only fell for her because he believed that you didn't want him.' Jimmy took a breath to make sure Gibbs was listening 'Now you have been treating him like he is worthless. I am very surprised that he is still here.'
The anger Gibbs had felt earlier returned so he turned and left sure that if he struck the ME assistant Ducky would never let him hear the end of it. Stepping in to the elevator he waited for it to start moving before hitting the emergency stop then slamming his fist in to the wall of the confined room. Letting out a frustrated growl he slid down the wall cradling his abused hand. All he wanted to do was fall asleep with Tony safely in his arms but instead he was sitting in a darkened elevator with an injured hand, aching ribs and a returning headache. It was his phone ringing that caught Gibbs attention, not bothering to check the caller ID he pulled it out of his pocket and answered in his normal gruff manner 'Gibbs."
'Boss it's McGee. First Vance says that you need to get out of the elevator because other people need it and second which in hindsight should have been first. We have a name, we know who is after Tony.'
'I'm on my way.' Gibbs flipped the phone shut as he sprung up from the floor and started the elevator back up. Within moments he was standing in front of the plasma 'Who is he?'
Ziva stood up and joined Gibbs at the large screen and picked up the clicker from McGee's desk. 'His name is Patrick Samuels he was in and out of juvie for assault and drug possession, when he turned 18 he kept a low profile until he was arrested at 24 for armed robbery. It looks like Tony who was a rookie cop at the time was the arresting officer. After Samuels was arrested Tony kept digging and connected him to a small drug lab. After he co-operated with police he was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment according to records he was released 6 months ago.' Ziva finished as she handed the clicker over to McGee who joined the other two.
'Samuels now works as a janitor at a mall, I rang his supervisor and he hasn't been seen since his shift on Friday. I have put out a BOLO on his car. He is currently staying with his step-brother Bradley Oaks in Brightwood, I have the address here.' McGee finished as he handed a post-it with the address on it to Gibbs.
Grabbing the piece of paper he demanded of McGee 'Bring up a photo of the step-brother. I don't think it is a coincidence that the new bartender at Tony's favorite bar is named Bradley.' seeing that it was the same man he turned back to what was left of his team 'Ziva you're with me, we are going to check out this address. McGee take Palmer to Tony's apartment and collect his go bag, he will also need a new phone as his was destroyed. I want you to stay at the hospital with him until you hear from me and take two agents with you to relieve Flint and Rider.'
As Ziva and Gibbs where grabbing their guns and badges Abby come stomping in carrying three large caf-pows. McGee looked up at her smiling 'Abby I know it's been a long case but no need for that much caffeine.'
With a smirk that matched McGee's she replied 'No their not for me, these are for you and Ziva.'
Wincing at the thought of having to drink the overly sweet thing Ziva gladly spoke up 'Sorry Abs no time we may have found the man that started all this.'
'Coming Ziva?' Gibbs called from the open elevator 'And McGee don't forget Tonys go bag.'
'On it boss I will have Palmer get it and meet me at the hospital.' McGee answered not catching the look of anger that crossed his boss's face at the mention of Jimmy Palmer.

McGee arrived at the hospital with two agents in tow, he was joined by Jimmy who had driven in behind him coming from Tony's apartment. Heading up to the room McGee pulled his gun and motioned for Jimmy Palmer to stay back. Moving forward one of the agents asked 'What is wrong?' as he pulled his own gun and waved his partner up. 'The other agents are gone.' he replied in a hushed voice and flashed his badge at retreating hospital staff. The three men entered the room each scanning for any threats but only seeing the two agents that were missing unconscious on the floor in the back corner of the room where they would not be seen from the hallway. The two agents that entered with McGee hurried to check the unconscious men as McGee stuck his head out the door calling for help. As the three men where sent from the room so the medical staff could do their jobs McGee took charge 'I want you two to go to the security office send the surveillance tapes to Abby and have security do a full sweep of the building, Tony may still be here. If he is not I want to know who took him and how long ago it happened. I will call Gibbs and tell him what is happening.' Sending a look of pity over their shoulders both agents hurried past Jimmy to go help look for Tony.

Mean while in the car Ziva was holding on for dear life as Gibbs threaded through traffic at breakneck speed feeling like she was taking her own life in her hands Ziva turned to Gibbs 'Gibbs something has been wrong with you. I want you to know you can talk to me if you need.'
'We are almost there be ready, and thank you Ziva however everything will be fine as soon as all this is over and Tony is safely back with me.'
'Me?' She asked unsure of her boss's slip.
'Here we are. You take the front and I will watch the back.' Gibbs instructed totally ignoring the look of confusion that Ziva had shot at him.
As they were getting out of the car Gibbs phone rang, checking the ID this time and seeing that it was McGee he raised his hand signalling that Ziva should wait. 'McGee what is up?'
It took a few moments until McGee was able to answer 'Boss we have a problem. It's Tony.'
'McGee what is it? what is wrong with DiNozzo?' Gibbs face drained of blood as he waited for McGee to reply.
'He is gone, the agents that were here to protect him have been knocked out cold. There is no sign of him in the hospital so Abby is going over all the footage to find anything she can.'
'Get back to the office and help Abby, I want full back grounds on both Oaks and Samuels. I want to know where they could take Tony.' with that Gibbs slammed his phone shut and stuffed it back in his pocket. 'Be ready Ziva, Tony may be in there, he is missing from the hospital. We go in quite, give me a count of twenty to get around back and pick the lock, then we go in.'
Ziva slipped up to the front door and began her count as she pulled out her lock picking kit. The lock being relatively simple only took a couple of seconds to open. Putting away her kit she drew her gun as she reached twenty. She slipped past the door and found herself in a neat living room, seeing that it was empty she moved on looking into each room and finding the study, bathroom, and two small bedrooms. Entering the kitchen at the back of the house Ziva found Gibbs coming up the flight of stairs that led down to a basement 'The house is clear no sign of Tony or the brothers.'
'Nothing downstairs either, lets take a closer look around and see if there is anything that will help us find them.' with that the two split up again and began searching the house.

It was almost midnight before Ziva called out excitedly 'Gibbs I think I have something here.' once he had joined her in the study Ziva continued 'It seems to be a rental agreement for a storage facility at 4076 New York Avenue. Why do they need to rent storage space when they seem to store their stuff in the basement? perhaps they have taken him there for some privacy.'
'Good find Ziva, call McGee from the car and tell him where we are headed, with any luck we will be in time. Have him send an ambulance as well.'
with that both agents ran out the door each hoping that they would be in time to save their friend and partner.
