Gibbs had immediately called Fornell after his encounter with Agent Stratton. He wasn't exactly receptive to being awoken in the middle of the night, but as soon as he mentioned DiNozzo Fornell had given up any hope of convincing him to wait until morning. Fornell said he'd make some calls and get back to him. Gibbs cell rang immediately after hanging up.
"Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs!" Abby shouted down the line, pulling Gibbs' usual trick.
"What ya got Abs?"
Abby had matched the bullets. DiNozzo's gun didn't deliver the kill shot. But someone was trying to make it look like he had. The badge in DiNozzo coat, the use of his gun on Cade's body post mortem. Wasn't this the forth time Tony had been framed for murder? It wasn't a very good attempt, more like a temporary distraction to throw them off so the real killer had time to cover his tracks. Gibbs' gut was churning, afraid it may well have worked too. Tony was definitely wrapped up in something big, had no memory and it wasn't over yet.
His phone buzzed again, a hang up from Dr Cranston. Gibbs ran full pelt back to the room only to meet the doctor in the hallway.
"He's in the bathroom." She announced on his approach.
"Called to say he'd gone to the head?" Gibbs snapped, in full protective mode.
"You know an Agent Stratton?" She asked completely ignoring his tone.
"What?" The hairs on the back of his neck stood instantly on end. "He was here?"
"Came into the room. Tony's reaction was… troubling."
Gibbs rubbed a hand through his hair, looking around the corridor door for any sign of Stratton. "What happened?"
"Well I think he was surprised to see somebody with him, made an excuse and left."
"Stay with DiNozzo." Gibbs ordered.
Dr Cranston narrowed her eyes. "You know him?"
"I have to call Fornell ." Gibbs stormed off back down the corridor.
