only one more chapter to go!! thank you for all the lovely reviews - keep going! sorry for any mistakes in this chapter, I wrote it very quickly!
"Abs!" Gibbs asked frustratedly, "Trace his phone now," He ordered, not caring about his brusque manner. He didn't have time for niceties. It was getting late in the day and Gibbs didn't know if Tony had much time.
"I am Gibbs!" She replied, equally harried, "But I'm sorry Gibbs, says you're right on top of the phone," Gibbs sighed, "Its still in the house, Tony didn't take it with him."
"He was probabaly taken aganst his will Abby, I don't think he was thinking about his cell phone at the time."
"I'm sorry Gibbs," Abby said quietly.
"I know, just help me find Tony."
"I'm downloading a list of Field's properties as we speak but it's a long list."
"Discard anything not in the immediate area and anything too populated," Gibbs told her.
"Will do," She replied more cheerfully.
"Call as soon as you have something," He said before hanging up.He turned to the remaining members of his team, "Well?"
"I searched Tony's room and there was nothing out of place. I did find a chair knocked over in his dad's sitting room, I'm guessing Anthony was taken from there," McGee spoke.
"You guess McGee?" Gibbs raised an eyebrow. McGee opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
Ziva saved the day when she jumped into the conversation. "There were no ships ready to leave today although my contact said one ship left the port half an hour ago."
"Get in contact with the ship and get it back here," Gibbs growled before storming off. He walked into the entrance hall, stopping in the dead centre. He took a deep breathe and began to count to ten when his phone rang, "Gibbs," He answered.
"It's me!" Abby replied excitedly.
"What do you have?"
"You will not believe this!" She began, "I can tell you exactly where Tony is! I couldn't believe it myself at first, it seemed so easy that i have no idea why i didn't work it out before, but I did really need the list of properties but now everything makes sense and-"
"Abs!" Gibbs interupted, "Where is he?"
"Alistair Fields owns land not far from the other warehouse you checked out. He's in the middle of constructing new offices there! It's the only property he owns that's currently unoccupied!"
"Well done Abs," Gibbs hung up the phone, "McGee, David!" He shouted and the pair ran into the room.
"What is it boss?" McGee asked.
"Abs has found Tony, gear up," Gibbs stalked out of the house and into the drivers seat of the car. McGee and Ziva followed behind, climbing In the car just seconds before Gibbs pulled out of the driveway.
It was dark by the time they reached the construction site and panic filled the eyes of Ziva and McGee. Flames were licking up the side of the hollow building, a tower of thick black smoke rising above it. Three bright red fire trucks were parked outside and firefighters surrounded the building, hoses spurting water trying to kill the fire.
"This isn't good," McGee said as they climbed out of the car.
"Excuse me, you can't be here," A firefighter held out his hands to stop the trio. Gibbs pulled out his badge and thrust it in the man's face, "What are feds doing at a gas explosion?" The man frowned.
"I have reason to believe that one of my agents and his father are being held captive in the building.
The firefighter turned to the building for a second and then back to Gibbs, "You sure?"
"Find my agent now, before I go in there and look for him myself," Gibbs warned.
The firefighter held up his hands in surrender, "Okay okay!" He turned back to his co-workers and spoke through his radio, "Okay Guys! We have to we still have two guys in the building!" He shouted. Gibbs watched helplessly as the firefighters entered the building by ladder to find Tony. He wasn't used to just watching, he wanted to be in there helping. Two firefighters with masks and oxygen, climbed up the ladder and onto the third floor. Gibbs moved closer to the firefighters, wanting to listen in to their radio conversations. He needed to know the minute they found Tony.
The firefighters landed on the concrete floor and scanned the smoke filled room. The first shook his head the pair travelled carefully across the large room and up the stairs to the fourth floor.
"Anyone here?" The second shouted through the fumes.
"Here," A weak voice answered before a wracking cough. The pair inched forward, walking on all fours towards the middle of the room. A gloved hand found the leg of a chair and grasped it tightly. The firefighters pulled themselves up using the chairs and felt around blindly.
"I got one here!" One shouted through the radio.
"Here too!" The other added. The both pulled out knives and cut the restraints that was holding the two men to the chairs, "This one's unconscious!" The firefighter informed everyone before pulling him over his shoulder, "What about yours?"
"Barely conscious" The other man replied, pulling the old man over his shoulder, "Lets get them out of here."
Gibbs waited as close to the building as possible. He'd heard over the radio that they'd found Tony. Two ambulances had already screeched onto the site and were waiting near Gibbs ready to take Tony and Anthony straight to the nearest hospital.
"Here they come!" Gibbs heard someone say over the radio and his head snapped up towards the ladder. The two firefighters came over the edge of the window and down the ladder one after the other. Limp bodies hanging over their shoulders. As their feet touched the ground the bodies were pulled from their shoulders and carried to the stretchers. The paramedics got straight to work, keeping the team from getting anywhere near Tony. They watched as an oxygen mask was placed over his mouth.
"How is he?" Gibbs asked.
"We need to get him to a hospital now, he inhaled a lot of smoke," The paramedic answered. They lifted the stretcher into the back of the ambulance and slammed the doors shut in Gibbs face, following the other ambulance off the site and down the road with wailing sirens.
McGee and Ziva ran over to Gibbs, "Are you okay boss?"
"Fine," He barked before storming off the the car. He needed to be at the hospital when Tony woke up.
