Arriving at NCIS, Jethro could sense, more than anything, something wasn't right. He had stopped, along the way, to speak with a contact of his about the case. Still nothing. By the time he got to the building the dog had been there and left. Stepping in he was approached by Vance while Ziva and Tony stood at their desks with concerned, worried looks.

"Agent Gibbs, I need a word with you."

"Any word you have to say can be spoken in front of my agents."

He glances around and sees that McGee wasn't there. He raises a brow then it sunk in, he was right something was wrong with McGee. Before Vance could say anything Jethro was stepping slightly closer.

"How long ..Leon?..." Jethro speaks the man's name as if it were poison. He now knew McGee had been missing or worse for a few hours and yet he wasn't informed.

"From when the dog came in until now? Approximately five hours."

Needless to say Jethro was angry. He drops his coffee into the nearby trash can and moves over to his desk, getting his badge and service weapon.

"DiNozzo..."

Just the speaking of the name had Tony stepping forward to tell his information. "Ziva and I went to his place and it was trashed. All computers were removed."

"We found blood and mud samples on the dog, which Abby has taken to the vet. No word yet on the animal's status."

Vance stood back a bit watching his employees speak without questions to their leader.

Tony continued with his knowledge, "McGee was working on cracking the code last night where Vance told us he said to go home around 10pm so we have a huge window in between there."

Jethro moves swiftly from around his desk giving a glare to Vance. Vance shakes his head at the man. "Gibbs, don't give me that look. I am just as concerned as you are."

"The hell you are! I told you there was something more about this case but you wouldn't listen to a damn thing I told you. If anything happens to him..."

A warning glare emits from Jethro so strong Vance had a hard time not shivering from it, but the man doesn't show his slight fear and doesn't back down. "You remember who you are talking to Gibbs."

"Oh I am Director." With that Jethro slips out with Ziva and DiNozzo right behind him.

"Where to Boss?" Tony asks pulling his jacket on the rest of the way.

"The moment you get results on the blood, you call me. Ziva you're with me."

"Come on Boss, don't make me sit on the side lines on this one. McGee is..."

"I know DiNozzo, I need you here to help Abby." Jethro says a little softer in his fatherly tone to let them know he was going to bring McGee back safe and sound.
