Chapter 7
Tony and I scurried around the room, making sure he hadn't fallen from his bed and ended up on the floor or in the bathroom.
"Tony… "I pointed to the bed where a note splattered with blood laid. Abby and McGee walked in, their faces suddenly fell, "Where's Gibbs?" Abby spoke first.
"We don't know," Tony exhaled while he examined the note, "but someone left us a note". Abby darted towards the bed, pushing us aside while she observed the piece of paper.
"What's it say?" McGee asked, still recovering from his shock.
"It says," Abby read the note over again with her eyes, "We'll take care of your boss…"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Well I don't know McGee, all I know is that Gibbs is in trouble".
"How do you know that?"
Abby stared at McGee, "Because that's what my gut says!" The tension between the two grew, like blowing a balloon so big that it would burst if a fly landed on it.
"Probie, process all the fingerprints," Tony interrupted the awkward tension.
"All of the fingerprints? There's so many Tony," McGee whined.
"Well McWhiney if you don't want to find Gibbs, that's okay," McGee left instantly to retrieve the gear he needed.
"Abby, could you do something with the note?" I asked.
"Well, I'm going to run the DNA on the blood and then hopefully get something off of the ink and script," Abby held back her tears and pulled on a pair of gloves and bagged and tagged the note before she left.
McGee re-entered the room, gear in hand. He placed the gear down and began with processing all the fingerprints. Tony sighed and grabbed the camera to take photos.
"Well, I'll start with the security cameras," I announced and made to leave the room.

Two hours later, we were all back at the office, McGee was busy eliminating all the fingerprints he had collected. Meanwhile Abby was downstairs running the blood sample and pulling as much information as she could from the little evidence she had.
Tony and I were watching through all the security tapes for any suspicious behavior or people that had roamed the floor of Gibbs' room.
"The only people that went in there was us, and the nurses," I pointed out, frustrated. Just as we were going to switch the tape, a familiar figure popped up on the corner of the screen and entered Gibbs' room.
"Vance," Tony spat his name and turned to me, "we've gotta tell Abby".
"I agree, but we can't tell her here," I sighed.
"Yeah," he looked around while he formulated a plan in his head, "Come on, let's go get her".
We arrived at Abby's lab with the familiar "ding". We walked in to hear no music.
"Hey Abby, no music?" Tony stood next to her as he studied the jumble of words and symbols from something she was in the middle of searching.
"No, and sorry but I've got nothing, na da, zilch!" she waved her hands around. Immediately after, her computer started to ring, "but, now I do".
"Okay, we've got a hit on the blood sample," she clicked around, opening files, "that's rather odd; the blood belongs to Officer Amit Hadar".
We all exchanged puzzled looks, "So, the only lead we have is dead and we still have no idea who has Gibbs".
"Abby, we need to talk to you," I tilted my head towards the window, "outside".
"Why?" She hesitantly followed us out of the door. We found a quiet spot outside, making sure there was no one close enough to hear us.
"Abby, Gibbs thinks Vance put the hit on him," her hand rose to cover her mouth.
"We think Vance is working with Eli and they sent Hadar".
"Oh my god!" Abby raced inside back to her lab, we trailed her closely as she sped through the building.
"I knew it! I knew I recognized the writing," Abby analyzed the note closer, "the hand writing belongs to the one and only… Vance," she clicked around on her computer and sent the image to the big screen, "see! On the left is Vance's report and to the right, our note!"
"Okay, so we know who it is, but we don't know where he is," Tony ran through the information we had.
McGee appeared through the door, "Guys, no luck, there's no fingerprints that seem suspicious or out of place".
"Did you find Vance's fingerprints?" McGee scanned through his papers.
"Actually yes, why?" McGee looked down to confirm his findings.
"This doesn't make any sense, Vance wouldn't be so clumsy," I pointed out.
"That is true, so is someone controlling Vance?" Abby suggested.
"Ahh guys? What are you talking about?" McGee butted in.
"Tim! Just go find where Gibbs is," Tony demanded.
"Well, how? I've got no lead…"
"Find a lead!" Tony snapped, McGee flinched at Tony's sudden outburst and wandered off.
"Tony, it is not his fault," I touched him on his hand to offer the little comfort that I could.
"Where is Vance now?"
"I saw him making his way to his office about an hour and a half ago," Tony answered, letting go of the breath he held to calm himself.
"So that means Gibbs disappeared somewhere between sometime yesterday and four hours ago," I paced around the room.
"Why is Vance here so late?" My eyes averted to the clock; 12:27.
"That is a good question, stop pacing around I can't think," Tony pulled me back to his side.
"Well I can't think if I'm not pacing," Suddenly both engrossed in each other to bother about the world.
"Guys, concentrate!" Abby nearly shouted. All of a sudden Tony's eyes lit up and he darted out of the room. Abby hit the answer button almost instantaneously on the first ring.
"Abby, have you scanned the substance I found at the hospital?" McGee asked hurriedly.
"It's still running McGee, I'll call you back as soon as I get the results," Abby disconnected him. Tony reappeared with all the tapes we had brought back from the hospital in his hands.
"We haven't finished going through all of it, there's got to be something more," Tony smiled.
"Oh… fun," Abby wore a disappointed look on her face, "but I'll do it for Gibbs!"
We spent the next few hours drowsily scanning through the tapes, one after the other. Abby had dosed off a few times, her head drooped to the side and jerked back up. Tony sat beside me and I could feel him hold his breath unintentionally every time it seemed like we had something.
"There!" I shouted out of nowhere and frightening Abby and Tony, "rewind it, there! That's Gibbs!"
"Okay Abby could you enhance the face on the guy next to him," Everyone got up and moved towards the computer.
"Already have," Abby's fingers did it's magic and within seconds we had identified the "kidnapper", "This is not good," Abby paused and pointed to the screen, "Eli David has Gibbs"…
