AN: Hi everyone. I'm so sorry about how long it's taken me to update this story but I've had so much coursework to do (I think my teachers are trying to find out if it's possible to die from coursework overload!). This chapter isn't much longer than the first one but I promise they will start to get longer.

Chapter 2

NCIS headquarters were in an uproar. By now almost every agent on base had heard that agent DiNozzo was missing. Everyone knew that this meant agent Gibbs would be in an even worse mood than usual and it would be a bad idea to get in his firing line. This was why everyone tried their best not to look up when the elevator doors opened signalling the return of Gibbs and his team. Anyone who did look up was greeted with Gibbs' fiercest glare.

The team strode into the bullpen. Ziva and McGee were feeling very ill, partially because Gibbs' driving had been worse than Ziva's on a bad day, but mostly out of worry for their teammate. Despite outward appearances, the team was very close and they all cared deeply for each other. So the fact that someone had taken Tony filled them with rage. As soon as they reached their desks Gibbs turned to them and began to give out orders.

"McGee, find out why Tony would have been at the crime scene."

"On it, boss," McGee said, sitting down at his computer.

"Ziva, pull up the Tony's records, find out why someone would have wanted to kidnap him."

"On it."

Gibbs started to head back to the elevator and had just reached it when Ziva shouted after him,

"What about the marines who were killed?"

"We find out who took Tony, we find out who killed the marines," he called back while pushing the elevator button with a bit more force than necessary.

Abby was a mess. Her mascara was running down her cheeks from where she had been crying and her pig tails were coming undone. Even the most uneducated person would have been able to see that she was upset. She turned away from her computer, clutching Bert under one arm, when she heard Gibbs enter her lab, carrying her caff-pow.

Without waiting for Gibbs to stop walking, she flung her arms round him engulfing him in a suffocating hug.

"Tell me it's not true Gibbs," she begged, voice cracking with tears, "tell me he's okay."

Gibbs' heart broke from the desperation in her voice and right now he wanted nothing more than to see Tony walk into the lab, grinning like an idiot, and start quoting one of his stupid movies, "Wish I could Abby," he said hugging her back, "Wish I could."

They hugged for a little longer before Abby released Gibbs and turned back to her computer, still clutching Bert tightly.

"I haven't got much for you yet Gibbs," she said, fighting the tears which were still threatening to fall, "all I can tell you so far is that the cell phone and the gun are definitely Tony's."

"Didn't come down here for information Abby," Gibbs replied, putting a caff-pow down in front of her and kissing her on the cheek, before walking out of the lab, leaving Abby slurping on her caff-pow.

please review, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon
