A/N: Here's another part of the story…and yes this part is a bit longer :). I hope that you enjoy it, feedback is welcomed…it's getting colder again and some nice words are keeping my fingers (that have to type this story) warm enough to press the keys :).

O, I know that you know it, but: these characters do not belong to me…. unfortunately.

McGee was worried... no scrap that... he was terrified. When he realised that Tony hadn't come down and Gibbs had stayed behind he had known it. 'Damn it. He was young yes but he wasn't stupid.' After Kate had died, Tony was Gibbs main concern (McGee knew that Gibbs was worried about him as well but Tony was...well... special). So when Gibbs had ordered them to find shelter, he had known that Gibbs was going after Tony. And now both men had been gone for more then an hour, and both had not responded to his phone calls.'

Opening his mouth he called out to Ziva "We need to find Gibbs, I've got a bad feeling about this." Not waiting for a response, he pulled out his cell and waited for Abby to pick up. Absently tapping his foot on the ground he suppressed a small smile, both Gibbs and Tony would kill him and Abby when they found out what they had done a few months ago, but that was something for the future.

"Hello, Mistress Abby speaking."

Thankful that he had reached her, he suppressed the sigh that was trying to escape his throat:

"Hey Abby, it's me. I don't have time to explain everything, but you need to do something for me, OK? I need you to activate the locater beacon in Gibbs and Tony."

"McGee? What's wrong, are Gibbs and Tony alright??"

Briefly closing his eyes, he replied "I don't know Abby. Tony went to gather some evidence but then a storm broke out en Gibbs went after him... Abby that was an hour ago. I'm really worried, so could you please activate them?"

"Sure thing, but you do know that I'm not the one who's going to tell them that we found them with the help of location beacons I injected them with…"

This time not being able to suppress a sigh he answered "Yes Abby, I realise that I have to confess that it was my idea to inject with locater beacons when they thought that they getting the flu shot. But that's later, right now I'm perfectly willing to be yelled at, at least then I know that they are safe."

"Okay, then two lost men coming up…you should get the signal now, and Tim get them home in one piece." With those words Abby disconnected the line and the search to find Tony and Gibbs began.

The rain was getting worse, if that was even possible. Gibbs wiped the rain from his face again, while he took a moment to find out where he was. He hadn't realised before since he had been so focused on the body, but the terrain was getting trickier by the minute. Not only was the ground turning into a very slippery area but there were also branches from trees blocking his way. Gibbs knew that very soon, it would be impossible to travel any further and look for Tony.

Gibbs didn't often have the urge to cry but right now he had to fight with every fibre in his being to dam the tears that threatened to escape him. He could not afford to lose Tony, not now... not ever. Throwing his head back when he was no longer able to contain his tears he cried out Tony's name.

And nobody could have been more surprised when he got an answer...

TBC... next chapter will be even longer :)... but of course that depends on the state of my fingers: please review.
