Tony and Ziva were in Tim's apartment with Mike looking for clues. They were looking for anything that could either find Tim and Gibbs, or more likely, something that could help them find the people hunting them.

Tony was searching the kitchen table and looking through the papers. About all he found out so far was that McGee spent five hundred dollars on computer stuff. He made a mental note to make McGee go out more when they finally found him, even if he had to drag him kicking and screaming.

Tony's thoughts were interrupted by Mike's voice. "Hey!"

Both Tony and Ziva stopped what they were doing to look at the former agent.

"Either of you know how to work this contraption?" Mike asked as he held up Tim's laptop.

"Um, maybe," Tony said as he went over and took the computer. He quickly opened it and powered it up. As he expected from someone like McGee, he was prompted to enter a password. "Ugh, I was afraid of that. What would I use for a password if I was a McGeek?

"His anniversary was yesterday. I believe that is a common password for people," Ziva said as she searched through her missing teammate's desk. She searched through all the drawers and found practically nothing. Finally, she came to the last drawer and came across a picture of him and a young woman with long dark brown hair and blue eyes. She immediately picked it up. "I think I may have found a picture of the woman McGee is married to.

Tony immediately put the computer down on the couch and went over to Ziva. He peered over her shoulder to get a look. "Whoa. She's hot. I can't believe she married McGee. I mean really, she's smoking hot!"

Soon Tony felt a hand slap him hard on the back of the head, causing him to let out a squeak.

"Gawk at her partner's girl some other time! Like say after we save his ass!" Mike berated.

"I'll do that," Tony said while rubbing the back of his head. Wow, he really missed Gibbs. Gibbs was nice and cuddly compared to Mike.

"Well, at least we have a face now," Ziva said before bagging the photo and going towards the bedroom.

"We still don't have a face to go with it though!" Tony yelled towards her. He was sitting on the couch trying once again to get into his friends computer. He'd tried the man's wedding anniversary and his birthday. He hadn't had any luck. "I don't even know why I'm looking at this thing. It's not gonna tell us where they are."

"Tim?" came a new voice.

Tony turned to see Sarah McGee in the doorway. "Sarah."

"What's going on? Where's my brother?" Sarah asked nervously. Her brother's teammates were in his apartment dressed like they were working and her brother was nowhere to be seen.

"Who's she?" Mike asked.

"McGee's sister. I'll talk to her outside," Tony said before walking towards her. "Come on, Sarah, let's go outside.

Sarah reluctantly allowed herself to be led out of the apartment. "Tony, why are you in Tim's apartment? Where is he?" Sarah asked.

"When's the last time you talked to him?" Tony asked.

"Last week. I called him this morning to see how he was doing after yesterday and it went straight to voicemail. He never shuts his phone off and he always answers my calls," Sarah said worriedly.

"So you know what yesterday was? You know he's married?" Tony asked. He wasn't really surprised by that. Being McGee's sister, she'd be one of the few who would know her brother's secret.

"Yeah, but I'm surprised you do. It's not something he advertises. Now where is he?" Sarah asked again. Her tone was more demanding this time.

"We don't know," Tony admitted.

Sarah's eyes widened in horror. "What do you mean you don't know?"

"We had the same problem you did when calling him. His phone went straight to voicemail," Tony told her.

"Where's Agent Gibbs? I wanna talk to him," Sarah said.

"Yeah, so do I. We don't know where he is either. Look, we're still trying to figure some things out. It would really help if you could answer some questions for me," Tony said.

"Anything," Sarah said immediately. She would do anything to help find her brother.

"How much do you know about his wife?" Tony asked.

"Just what he told me. She's a computer programmer he met while doing some temp work while he waited to get into the FLETC program. They hit off, so well in fact that he temporarily suspended his efforts to get into NCIS. He still planned to go for it, but by then he had another dream as well and he decided to make that one a reality first.

"You never met her?" Tony asked surprised. He would've thought if anyone had met McGee's wife, it would be his sister.

"No. I was seventeen at the time. I wasn't even supposed to be in contact with Tim," Sarah said bitterly.

"Why?" Tony asked confused.

Sarah was hesitant to answer. She knew this was not something her brother would want his teammates knowing about. He wouldn't want the pity.

Tony immediately noticed the hesitancy. "Sarah, you have to tell me. It could help us find your brother."

Sarah sighed. "I'm not sure how, but okay. Despite what I'm sure he wanted you to believe, Tim did not have a perfect upbringing. Our father rode him harder than you can even imagine. And no matter how hard he tried, nothing he ever did was good enough for the Admiral. The Admiral wanted him to join the Navy, but that was never going to happen. Tim got sick as soon as he stepped on a boat. He wanted to work for NCIS instead. Not only was that not good enough for our father, he was furious. He considered it a betrayal."

"He considered it a betrayal for his son to dedicate his life to protecting others?" Tony asked in disbelief.

Sarah nodded. "Yeah. He hated that Tim was going to settle for a civil servant position, said it was an embarrassment to him. So the day of Tim's eighteenth birthday, he gave him an ultimatum. He either enlisted in the navy or our father would disown him. He'd never be allowed in the house or in our lives again. He's be completely out of the family."

Tony was horrified. All this time he thought McGee had a good relationship with his family. He always seemed so happy and well-adjusted, everything that came with being raised well. Apparently he was wrong. "Where was your mother through all this?"

"She was there. She was standing right there not saying a word," Sarah said bitterly. She'd always hated her mother for that. In fact, in many ways, she blamed her mother more than her father for not doing a thing to stop him. "Anyway, Tim made his choice. We all expected him to back done, but for once he didn't. For once, he chose his own happiness. After that day, I was forbidden from seeing or speaking to him. I didn't listen though. Tim gave me his cellphone number and I talked to him as often as I could. I unfortunately couldn't see him though until I was eighteen. He called me the day of his wedding though. He was so happy. He talked to me about the woman he loved and also her mother. He told me how she acted more like a mother to him than ours ever had. I was happy for him. He'd finally had what he always wanted. A family that loved him for him. And then they took off on him," Sarah said angrily. She hated them for that. They'd given her brother a family and then they'd yanked it out from under him. He would've been better off never meeting them.

"They might have had a good reason, Sarah," Tony said.

"What are you talking about? What has happened to my brother," Sarah asked once more.

"I don't know yet. We will find him though. I promise we'll find him," Tony said. He prayed that was true. He prayed that he had not just lied to the young woman in front of him. But something told him he had. Something deep inside him told him that Sarah wouldn't see her brother again for a long time, if ever.
