Takes place after McGee leaves Danny and Mike with Abby

Gibbs started walking back from getting a new cup of coffee from the coffee place down at the lobby when his cell phone got a call. Without looking at the caller ID he flips his phone out and puts it to his ear. "What have you got McGee?" He says answering the call and then takes sip from his cup.

"Good news Boss seems Tony and Mister McCoy has found a lead. Danny is waiting in the Security room waiting to give us a report on it." McGee was calling Gibbs from his own room where he had gone to get a few things for his work space. Looking through his bag he found the desk away from desk kit that Abby made for him. Smiling McGee starts walking to the door.

"Where is Tony then?" Gibbs was angry that he wasn't currently aware of where all his team was. *Tony wandering is expected. But where the hell was Ziva* He thought getting into the elevator.

"I don't know Sir" McGee says stopping and trying to remember if Danny had told him where his teammate was.

"Well FIND him McGee" Gibbs says in his classic annoyed and angry tone of voice. A few people look over at him as he sips his coffee again. Every single one of them thought the same thing. *Poor Tony*

Hearing Gibbs hang up McGee lets out a long sighed and heads out to find Tony. Opening the door McGee stops a half step as he sees Sam standing at his doorway. Before a word can escape his mouth McGee is pulled out of his room and down the hallway. "Sam! Excuse me? What are you!?!" He finally says he gets pulled towards the elevator.

"No talky." Sam says not even looking back at her nabbed famous author. "Look I got a whale that is a big fan and I promised him a night he would never forget and as it turns out." Stopping and turning she looks up at the special agent. "That meeting you is something he wouldn't forget." Smiling a classic Sam Marquez grin and then ads "There see, doesn't that make you feel special?"

"Sam I am in the middle of an ongoing murder investigation that took place in this hotel. " McGee says thinking that those facts alone spoke logic and reason to why he could not be her lucky chip.

"Yea! That's good. Can you talk about that with him? I am sure that would make it even better." Sam says starting to get excited as she walks into the elevator and looks at McGee. "Come on he is on the top floor in the VIP sweet."

"Sam I am sorry but this is not going to happen. Now tell this whale of yours that you tried your best but that I was unfortunately too busy to meet him." Turning away and escaping to the stairs he starts to climb down the 3 flights of stairs he needed to meet up with Gibbs and hopefully the rest of the team.

Walking out of the elevator and opening the door to the stairs Sam looks down and hears McGee going down. "Just so you know I can't say I tried my best!" She shouts down at him. "I haven't offered to sleep with you yet!" Letting go of the door she turns back to the elevator to see a whole family of 4 and an elderly couple standing next to her and waiting for the door all of them wearing looks of disgust or shock on their face.

After a long pause in the stairwell and letting the thought linger in his head McGee finally returned to his original mission to meet up with Gibbs at the security room. Finishing the last 2 flights of stairs he walks through the door and out into the hallway. Looking left and then right he sees Gibbs walking towards him and smiles. "Hey Boss." He says falling in step with him and walking all the way back to the room where Danny and Mike are waiting.

Seeing the two agents walk in Danny and Mike both shut up and watch as Gibbs looks around the room and then at Danny. "Where is Tony?" His tone very annoyed as he asks.

"He went up to his room sir. The place we were at was a little muggy" Danny says while Mike folds his laptop up and starts typing away at the keyboard. The large flat screen TV on the wall goes from the Montecito logo to a black screen. Mike then spins in his chair and waits for the Danny to start.

"Sir if you want, I already had a talk with Tony on the way back here, He has already heard this and has agreed that we might be on to something. He said I should fill you in while he works on a different angle." Danny stands up as he talks and moves over to the screen and waits for a sign from the lead agent.

Sipping his coffee and looking over at Danny he waits for the thing to start. "Well?" he says as if it was silly he had to give permission to the President of a billion dollar hotel and casino to start talking in the building he runs.

Jumping right into it Danny looks over at Mike who is already tapping away at the keys in front of him. Hitting enter with a hard stab of his finger the TV suddenly pops alive with a picture of a mid 30's man with slight facial hair and dark cold brown eyes.

These were the one thing that McGee couldn't look away from where his eyes. They were those of a killer. This was something he had learned from his work at NCIS. When you take a life it does something to you, and you can see that change in the person's eyes.

Mike starts up with some basic information on the mystery man "This man is Nikolay Slav. He was born in Soviet controlled Ukraine where they seemed to have created one of the scariest guys I have ever seen. He came to the land of opportunity and a soldier of the Russian mob," At this point Mike stops and Danny takes over talking.

"But when he got over here he broke all ties he had with them and started his own unit right here in Las Vegas. The man is the number one most dangerous loan shark and organized crime lord in this city. If your victim had anything to do with this man or with one of his operations I would bet that it has to do with Nikolay. And as a man from this town that is saying something" Finishing his bit Danny puts his hands on his hips and looks at Gibbs to see if he had any question.

Nodding and sitting down Gibbs waits for McGee to do his part. Looking over at his junior agent he sees him shuffle thorough some papers looking for one page in particular. Finding the page Gibbs smiles when he sees Tim find what he was looking for. Gibbs face returns to its normal hard look when McGee looks up and starts the counter questions.

"So what makes you think our Marine had anything to do with Nikolay?" McGee asks starting out with the most obvious answer.

"From some information we got from his ex" Danny says sitting down again. "It turns out she started working at De Wo a few months back. This strip club is owned by Nikolay. We believe that is how the two met."

Mike looks over from his keyboard and screen and straights his suit out. "We also dug a little into your marines' financials. Turns out he had been gambling over at the MGM for the past few months, mostly little time stuff. About 300 to 50 dollars for some weekend fun. Then one month ago he drops over 20 grand in one day."

This new bit of information makes McGess's eyes almost pop out of his sockets. "Where did a grunt find 20 grand…?" He says and then looks at the picture of their number one new suspect.

Getting up Gibbs starts to head for the door. "Good job Marine." He says as he passes by Danny. "Only next time remember we don't leave a man behind. You see Tony, you tell him to find me!" Gibbs leaves the office and then the whole security room.
