AN: Shorter update here. More rapid fire as the plot develops. Enjoy. :)

"Not in the mood for jokes DiNozzo…"

"Boss, I'm not joking." He heard the phone go dead and motioned to the Agents outside the door. "Hey…get me the Doctor."

"What are you doing?"

Tony looked up at Blake and tossed him his phone. "Saving my partner."

Gibbs hung up with Tony and immediately phoned Ziva. After about the tenth time he tossed it down on his desk. He picked it back up again moments later.

"McGee…need you."

Tim set aside what he was doing and reached for his coat. "Tony okay boss?"

"Fine…listen, all hell is breaking loose. Get to the office."

He heard the phone click and resisted the urge to put out the bat signal. He slowly smiled as he slipped on his side arm. Right now, this distraction was as good as any.

"I don't care if your wife is having twins…get your butt over to her apartment and call me back." He slammed his phone down just as McGee strode in.

"What's up boss?"

"The lady you so kindly shoved to the ground is out on bail…and get this…she's Ziva's boyfriends ex wife."

"Ex wife?"

"Yes, ex wife…as in not his current wife."

"The same lady that dosed Tony?"

Gibbs nodded.

"This would make a great chapter in my …"

"McGee!"

The yell jolted him out of his train of thought and he apologized. "So we think she's after Ziva?"

"No, we know she is…she got a message to her ex…and he relayed it to Tony."

Tim raced behind his desk and set aside the manila envelope he had in his hand. "Get a triangulation on her cell…on it."

"What's that?"

"What's what?"

Gibbs pointed to the envelope. "That."

"Oh it can wait boss."

"Good." He stood up and paced out of the bull pen. "Call me when you got something, I'm heading down to Abby's."

"What do you got?"

"Besides high blood pressure in conjunction with complete shock and denial…not much." She punched a few keys. "I emailed the photo for the BOLO, and am running her credit and ATM cards for recent purchases. Nothing yet."

"Keep on it."

"I always do." She took a deep breath. "Hey Gibbs…"

"Yeah?" He turned back with an obvious look of frustration.

"When all this is over, we need to have a serious team talk about significant others."

He tried to smile as he turned to leave and his phone rang the moment he stepped out of the elevator into the bullpen.

"Gibbs."

Tim didn't realize his presence and continued to talk to him on the phone. "Cant get a fix boss, her phone must be off."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. The only other way I can do it, is by her last phone call and coordinate the towers in the area for a location."

"Do that McGee."

"On it." He hung up his phone and looked up to see Gibbs closing his as well. "Woops."

"Just get me a location."

"You worried boss? I mean, I'm sure Ziva can take care of herself."

"Yeah McGee. But this lady is 52 cards short of a full deck."

"There are only 52 cards in a deck boss…" he watched Gibbs glare back at him. "But that is what you meant, so I'll shut up now."

Gibbs nodded and motioned for him to do just that. And just as he turned back towards his computer he saw a familiar frame enter the bull pen.

"Where the hell have you been?"
