Interrogation

Gibbs glared at the man sitting opposite him in the interrogation room. As soon as he had left Abby's lab he had got Ziva and they had gone to arrest Adam Green. He had tried to run but hadn't even made it to the end of the driveway before they caught up with him.

Green shifted uncomfortably under the famous 'death glare'. "Look agent Gibbs, why am I here? I haven't done anything wrong," he finally burst out.

"Yeah, apart from murdering two marines," replied Gibbs

Green's eyes went wide, "what? I didn't kill anybody."

"Then why was your gun found at the crime scene?"

"I don't know."

Ziva snorted in the observation room, "Is that really all he can come up with?" she asked McGee, who had just returned from interviewing the marines families.

McGee smiled slightly, "yeah, well Gibbs probably frightened any clever responses out of him."

Gibbs had gotten out of his chair and was now slowly pacing the interrogation room behind Green, who was getting more and more agitated.

McGee looked at Ziva nervously, gathering the courage to ask her the question that had been nagging at him ever since they had found out that Tony was missing, "Do you think Tony is still alive?" Ziva didn't answer at first, and McGee was terrified she was going to say no.

"Yes," Ziva finally replied, "They sent Gibbs that note; if Tony was dead they would have just left it on his body."

McGee flinched at the thought of finding Tony's body but was relieved that Ziva didn't think he was dead, "so you reckon someone wants revenge on Gibbs?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Well, let's just hope he just ask us to write a list of who would want revenge on him. If we thought Tony's was long what would Gibbs' be like?" McGee said, trying to lighten the mood and was rewarded when Ziva smiled slightly.

Back in interrogation Gibbs could see that Green was close to cracking so he sat back down, "If you don't tell me where my agent is, I will charge you with the murder of two marines," Gibbs said.

"Fine," Green burst out after a moment of silence, "An old school friend of mine and some other guy came to me a few months ago. They said they'd give me a lot of money if I helped them."

"What are their names?" Gibbs asked, leaning forward, when Green didn't answer straight away he slammed his hand down hard on the table and yelled, "Their names?"

"Jeremy Parker and Ray Skelton."

Gibbs's eyes went at the name Jeremy Parker. He was the brother of Damon Parker, a man he had sent to prison during one of his first cases with Tony. Jeremy had very violently in expressed his views that his brother was innocent.

"Where did they take Tony?"

"A warehouse, about 20 minutes from the park where they killed those marines."

Gibbs was already halfway out the door when he heard Green ask, "Can I go now?"

Gibbs nearly snorted; interrogating some people was just too easy, "Nope," he replied, smirking slightly, "I'm still going to charge you with murder; I'm just adding assisting in the kidnap of a federal officer to the list."

Gibbs walked out of interrogation, calling Abby to find the address of the warehouse, knowing Ziva and McGee were already following him.

Gibbs was driving so fast that even Ziva was looking a bit green. Abby had called Gibbs with the address and an order to bring Tony home safe. Vance had called multiple times demanding information but had given up when Gibbs just kept hanging up on him. McGee and Ziva had tried to ask Gibbs who Jeremy Parker was but all he would tell them was that he was related to a case which he and Tony had worked on.

When they arrived at the warehouse they all got out of the car, suppressing the fear of what they would find. Gibbs signalled for Ziva to go round the back and McGee to go through the front with him. When they were all in position they slammed the doors down and searched the warehouse for Tony. But he wasn't there.

They would have thought that Green had lied to them if it hadn't been for the smears of blood and the disk which Ziva had found hanging above a large pool of it. When McGee inserted the disk into the computer they found a video message.

"Agent Gibbs," the man, who Gibbs recognised as Jeremy Parker, said, "If you are watching this then Adam Green must have told you everything, so I won't bore you by telling you again. Now I assume you want to see your agent," the view camera changed to show Tony's unresponsive form, covered in blood and bruises which made Gibbs want to reach through the screen and strangle Parker, "Don't worry, he's alive, for now," continued Parker in an infuriatingly smug voice, "and you'll find us when I want you to. But in the mean time feel free to keep searching for us and know that you have failed your agent."

The video stopped and Ziva and McGee looked up at Gibbs, silently begging him for orders. But all he did was stand there looking as broken as the family members of the victims when they told them a member of their family had been killed.
