As you can probably tell, I like cliffhangers……Enjoy!
Chapter 6
Jenny arrived in the squadroom to find McGee and Gibbs looking very distressed. "I cut my meeting short. Any news?" she asked as she approached.
"Nothing," Gibbs said, not taking his eyes off of the plasma.
Jenny looked around. "Where's Ziva?" Gibbs looked over at Ziva's desk. Jenny saw Ziva sitting on the floor behind her chair, playing with Bella and looking very distracted.
"She's been doing that ever since we found his car," Gibbs explained quietly. "Is there any way we can trace him McGee?" he asked.
"No way that I can think of," McGee said disappointedly.
"His mobile," said Ziva.
"What?"
"His mobile has a GPS transmitter in it. Trace it."
"Ziva, his phone is right here," Gibbs said, holding up an evidence bag that contained the phone they had found in the car.
"His second phone. He got it when he was undercover with Jeanne. He still has it. He keeps it for emergencies," Ziva explained. McGee started typing away at his keyboard, but then Gibbs' phone rang.
"555-1012," Gibbs read off of the screen.
"That's Tony's second mobile number," Jenny replied.
Gibbs answered and put it on speakerphone while McGee started a trace.
The only noise coming from the speaker was static. "DiNozzo?" Gibbs said. There was a sudden increase in volume, but it returned to normal after a few seconds, and then disconnected.
McGee managed to get a trace. "It's moving. The call came from a car."
Jenny had a sudden idea. "McGee, pull up the security camera footage from the carpark." Once it was on the plasma, they ran it back to when Tony should have arrived at NCIS.
They could see Tony get out of his car and reach back in to get his badge and Sig. Another car pulled up beside him, and they watched as a single person grabbed Tony from behind and stuffed him the other car before it drove off.
"How did they get Tony to cooperate so quickly? He barely fought back," Jenny said. McGee rewound the tape and they watched again.
"Stun gun," Gibbs said. "Temporary paralysis. Get a BOLO out on that car McGee."
"Plate number 070 38D. It's a silver Seabring," Ziva said as McGee entered the information onto the computer. "The car belongs to NCIS Special Agent Jamie Wickermen," he said in surprise.
"The first victim?"
"Can we get a look at the driver?" Jenny said. Gibbs looked at her strangely. "Well, obviously it's not Jamie, but we might be able to see who it is." They tried but the kidnapper was wearing a face-covering beanie.
"Typical," Gibbs said. He turned to see that Ziva had returned to hiding behind her desk with Bella. "McGee, where is Tony now?"
"No signal, phone must be out of range. We've got nothing."
Gibbs sat back at his desk, racking his brain for ideas.
Two long hours passed with no leads. Gibbs and McGee tried everything they could to find something, but there was nothing. Ziva kept herself and Bella occupied, and Jenny was sitting at Gibbs's desk going through case files.
McGee's computer beeped. "Got a hit on the BOLO."
"Let's roll."
McGee's phone rang. He hit the speaker button. "Agent McGee."
"McGee, it's Abby. I got a hit on the BOLO."
"I know Abby. We got it here too."
"Yeah, but I got more. Get down here."
"This had better be good," Gibbs said as he and McGee headed towards forensics.
"The Seabring was spotted on a highway an hour ago. Someone reported it speeding, and it was pulled over shortly after that," Abby began as soon as Gibbs and McGee walked in. "For some reason the cop who caught the driver fingerprinted them."
'And?" Gibbs said impatiently.
"The prints were just entered into the system. Still waiting on the driver's name, but I got a match between their prints and the partial prints that I found on all the roses."
"So whoever killed the agents kidnapped Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah."
"Good work Abs, but it did nothing to make us feel better," McGee said.
"I know, but at least it's something," Abby replied as they walked out. A second later, her computer beeped. She checked the screen.
"GIBBS! GET BACK HERE!" she yelled down the corridor.
"What?"
"Got a name for the prints."
"Who?"
"Alice Wickermen."
"Jamie Wickermen's wife?"
"Yep. Now it makes sense that the Seabring belongs to Jamie."
"Good work Abs," Gibbs said as he left again.
"By now the car would have moved from where it was last seen," McGee said as they returned to the squadroom. "But I'm getting the local LEO's to double check it," he added as Gibbs glared at him.
"News?" Jenny said.
"Killer is Alice Wickermen."
Jenny was surprised. "Seriously?"
"Yep. She killed her husband and two other NCIS agents. Now she's got Tony," Gibbs said.
"Why would she do that?"
"No idea. McGee, put another trace on DiNozzo's phone. See where he's at now."
"On it."
Minutes later they were looking at another map. "Tony's here," McGee said, pointing to the flashing red dot.
"He's not moving."
"Car's parked?" McGee suggested.
"Let's go," Gibbs said, leaving Jenny and Ziva in silence. Bella had fallen asleep on Ziva's chair, and Ziva was close to dozing off herself.
"Ziva, go up to my office. Get some rest," Jenny said, but Ziva shook her head.
"I'm not going to be able to sleep."
Jenny knew even before it had started that she wouldn't win the argument, so she went back to Gibbs' desk.
Gibbs and McGee pulled up at a small shed. "This is the place?" Gibbs asked.
'Transmission is coming from here," McGee replied.
Guns drawn, they approached the entrance. Gibbs kicked the door opened and the stepped inside, stunned at what they saw.
A/N Any ideas as too what's behind the door? (I've already finished writing this story, but I just want to know what you guys think).
