Chapter 3

Tony sat at his desk. He waited for the results of the bloodsamples. His head was heavy and rested in his hands. He thought again. What happened?

He walked underneath the 'crime scene do not cross' lint and looked through the street. He saw Gibbs and McGee both heading in different directions. McGee to the left and Gibbs to the right. Tony took his sketchpad and looked if he drew everything right. Number one next to the body, number 2 next to the sigaret, number three next to the bloodtrail, four next to the bullet casing. Number five- He heard a yell. Tony looked up to the direction were the yell came from. He saw McGee and some other guy fighting, McGee fell onto the ground. He saw Gibbs running to help McGee. He dropped his sketchingpad and started running too. He was pretty close when there was an explosion. Wait. Explosion? Where did it come from? Was the guy still there? He opened his eyes Gibbs and McGee were gone. Gone. His Probie and his teamleader. Tony went to the place where the fight was, and were Gibbs and McGee disappeared. He saw a few drips of blood on the ground. Tony remembered he took samples of the blood and giving the first crime scene the other MCRT-team. And there he was. Waiting for the results.

Ziva was sitting at her desk. Frantically trying to figure out who would kidnap McGee and Gibbs. She was going through recent cases were the guilty one made any threats. Nothing yet. She looked up when Tony's phone rang. "Special Agent Di-" "-"
"Abby, Abby, ABBY! Calm down. What did you say?" "-" Tony suddenly looked very tired and sad. He put the phone down.
"What did Abby have?" "The blood is Tim's."


McGee got tired of the waiting, and not knowing what would happen to them. Why were they taken hostage? Why them and not someone else? Yes, they were Federal Agents and had a lot of potential enemies, but why would a vampire kidnap them? As a living, unending blood source? Then, why take Gibbs, Caëll and himself? Why not one? Why didn't Mordero kill them?

All these questions made Tim dizzy. It was too much, he was locked up in a damn room, with nothing to do, nothing what this guy wanted, nothing they could do to escape. It was time they got away. Tim got up and walked to Gibbs. Kneeling down he examined the chains. Those rusty things were attached to the wall. There was no way he could get them loose. In anger he pulled on them. They made a rattling noise, but nothing more. Tim felt his anger rising and stated to pull harder. "Tim... McGee… TIM!" Tim looked up to Gibbs. "Calm down, we'll get out of here." Tim grunted in disbelieve. Gibbs lead Tim to the ground, so he sat down a bit comfortable. "Caëll, tell us some more about vampires."

"Well, I don't know if you watch a lot of fantasy movies, but how their describe vampires is true. They can't stand garlic, holy water, daylight, crosses, a wooden stake through the heart, their head cut off, they can change into a bat, etcetera. You most likely know it. But Julio Mordero is over 300 years old. He learned himself how to cope with daylight, garlic, holy water and crosses. But all vampires need blood to survive. If they haven't drunk in a while, they aren't really strong and can be killed easier. If they have drunk, they are really strong and there is almost no way to kill him."

"Then, how can you kill him?" "Simple. A wooden stake through his heart." Gibbs looked at Caëll sceptically. "Easy?" "Do vampires kill, or do they change you into a vampire to if they bite you?" McGee asked.
"In the teeth of vampires, is just like snakes, a poison that will change you into a vampire. But it needs time to release from the teeth into the body. If it hasn't got enough time, you won't die or change into a vampire. But they can control how much poison releases. If there is a lot-" "you die." McGee finished. Caëll nodded sadly.
