A/N: I hope I didn't sound braggy, I was just really excited… =/

Tony knew he had to wake up; mustering up all the strength in his body Tony managed to open his eyes. Looking around he saw a window, damn to high up and metal bars… although the lock looks pick able… Tony thought, while trying to stand up. Damn that's painful! Tony thought allowing a hiss of pain to escape his lips. Searching around the room, he found a small metal shard, this should work perfectly. Now I just need something to take the guard out with… guess this rock will have to do. Tony thought with a frown. Making his way slowly to the door so he would not fall over, Tony started to pick the lock. I could really use a pizza right now… He thought, after what seemed like an eternity to Tony, the lock clicked open. Swinging open the door Tony was faced with the back of a guard holding a semi automatic weapon. Perfect. Without making a sound Tony hit the guard on the head taking his weapon Tony slowly started making his way down the hallway.

Meanwhile…

Gibbs arrived at the warehouse with an hour to spare.

"Ziva I want you stationed at the back of the warehouse to make sure they don't escape." Gibbs commanded. Ziva nodded her head in affirmation.

"Be careful Gibbs." She said before heading towards the back of the warehouse.

"McGee I want you posted at the entrance, I will leave the door open a crack, if anything seems off don't hesitate to join the party." Gibbs said.

"Of course boss." McGee said nodding his head vigorously. "I got your six."

"Good I'm going in." He said, before walking towards the building. You had better be in there Tony. McGee thought.

Progress was slow for Tony; so far, he hadn't seen any other guards. Huh, small operation. Tony thought letting a small smile cross his face, however; it only lasted a few seconds, because just around the corner was a table of guards playing cards. Why am I not more surprised that I'm wrong? Oh well, here goes nothing! Taking another step Tony had a clear shot at the guards in the room, taking a breathe to steady himself, Tony pulled the trigger. The unsuspecting guards didn't have time to react, only one guard got a shot at him, the bullet got logged in the wood behind Tony's head. So much for keeping things quiet. Tony thought,before his exhausted body collapsed.

"Where's he at?" Gibbs asked.

"Ah I see you are not one to mix words." The mysterious masked man said. "First things first, let me see the money." Not wanting to waste another second Gibbs threw the duffle bag containing the money across the room to him.

"I trust it is all here?" He asked giving Gibbs a glare to rival his own. Gibbs nodded.

"I am sorry I did not catch your name." The man said.

"Daniel, Daniel Moretti, his father." Gibbs said without any hesitation.

"Ah I see, and how did you manage to get all this money Mr. Moretti?" He asked.

"It was my wives money, she passed away leaving it all behind." Was Gibbs reply.

"I see," But before he could finish his sentence, the ear splitting sound of a semi automatic weapon filled the air. Gibbs jumped out of the way, as McGee burst through the door, shooting the man twice in the each leg to insure he wasn't going anywhere.

"Boss? Boss are you alright?" McGee asked, extending his hand to help him up.

"Yeah McGee I'm fine, but we got to find out where those shots came from." Gibbs said heading towards the back of the abandoned warehouse. After ten minutes of futile searching, Gibbs was getting desperate.

"Gibbs! McGee!" Ziva said bursting threw the door gun drawn ready for anything.

"We're ok, but we still haven't found Tony." McGee answered.

"I heard gun shots what happened?" She asked still confused.

"That's what we are trying to figure out." Gibbs said.

"You will never find him." The man said barely conscious. Angry that they still hadn't found Tony, Ziva walked over to the man grabbed his collar and whispered menacingly into his ear.

"If you do not tell us where Tony is, I will castrate you and then force you to eat you own balls! Understand?" While giving him a glare that meant business. The man just laughed in her face. Ziva grabbed the man's belt and gave a sharp tug.

"The square is the key to your precious package." He said before passing out from loss of blood.

"What the hell does that mean?" Gibbs exclaimed.

"It's a riddle." McGee said his super computer brain already working at full speed.

A/N: Once again short, however; it's up faster… Hope that helps some. Any ideas on the riddle? If not all just use my kind of lame idea. How does everyone like the story so far? Don't be afraid of giving me some constructive criticism. I have a question for all of you, what was the scariest thing that ever happened to you? I have to go bake sugar cookies, so if you review I will send you some virtual ones! ;)

Molto Amore,
