Interrogation

"Fornell, what are you doing here?" Gibbs asked in confusion.

"All field agents are under review. I just have some questions for you, after Agent Grady hooks you up for a polygraph."

"Fornell!" Gibbs shouted as a warning.

"I will explain later. . .just. . .I need you to play along right now." Fornell attempted to fend off an irate Gibbs.

"First question—have you or anyone you know taken personal information about NCIS agents?"

"No." Gibbs snapped.

"Second question—has anyone threatened you recently or are you being stalked?"

"No! What kinds of questions are these?" Gibbs snapped louder.

"Third question—After Paloma Reynosa and Alejandro Rivera were dealt with, has anyone from the Reynosa Cartel threatened you?"

"No." Gibbs answered sharply, indicated to Fornell that he had enough of his questioning.

"Fourth question—Are you currently being blackmailed?"

"No, I am not being blackmailed." Gibbs shot out.

"Fifth question—To repeat the earlier question, have you knowingly given confidential information about NCIS field agents to someone outside the agency?"

"No." Gibbs said under his breath.

"He passed." Agent Grady stated.

"All right Gibbs." Fornell waved off Agent Grady, who disconnected the polygraph. "Some confidential information about NCIS field agents has been stolen."

"Confidential?" Gibbs questioned.

"Cell phone numbers and home addresses were stolen. Your cell phone will have to be replaced for your safety, since that can be tracked."

"I have an agent, who might be missing right now." Gibbs stated.

"Who might be missing?" Fornell asked curiously.

"Well, DiNozzo, we can't find him and his cell phone is turned off. He was supposed to return today, after spending a week in New York. I called his father, and he never made it to his house. His phone is turned off, and we cannot find him."

"I'll put in a call to track his credit cards." Fornell stated, trying to calm Gibbs.

Squad Room

After talking with Fornell, Gibbs returned to the squad room to find no one there. He looked around the room in confusion and sat down at his computer, only to discover that his computer was gone.

"Jethro!" Ducky said in frustration.

"Ducky, what is going on around here?" Gibbs asked looking around the empty squad room.

"Ziva was just sent into the conference room to talk to Dr. Cranston. Timothy was sent back down to the cyber unit to work on a project from Director Vance." Ducky explained. "I am getting the impression that we have been benched."

"Yeah." Gibbs replied shaking his head in irritation.

"Hey, by any chance have you talked with Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"No, I have not heard anything about him for a week now." Ducky answered.

"Gibbs, you can report to the conference room, once Dr. Cranston has finished with David." Vance ordered. "And, before you ask, I did a check on DiNozzo's credit cards. They have not been used since he left D.C., so I am still searching for him. He did rent a car, but he paid cash, and he still hasn't returned the car." Vance explained, knowing that the information had to make Gibbs even more concerned.

"Ziva?" Gibbs said, noticing her passing the squad room. Gibbs approached her.

"I just need some air, Gibbs." She said, teary eyed. Gibbs nodded at her in concern. "Then I will submit to a polygraph."

After seeing even Ziva defeated, Gibbs whipped around ready to voice his opinions to Vance. Vance quickly noticed the fire in Gibbs' eyes.

"I know Gibbs. I hear you." Vance responded.

"Please go up to the conference room." Vance ordered. "I promise that I will find Agent DiNozzo." Vance added. Gibbs relaxed slightly and reluctantly headed to the conference room.

Conference Room

"Ah, hello Agent Gibbs." Dr. Cranston said, as she watched Gibbs walk in.

"Doc." Gibbs said, as he sat down across from her at the table.

"Anything you would like to discuss, before we start?" She said. He shook his head.

"You recently lost a dear friend. Mike Franks, was your mentor, and he helped you through one of the most difficult times in your life."

"Mike. . .was dying of lung cancer. He didn't have much time left." Gibbs explained. "He went out - fighting."

"When I talked with Ziva, she mentioned that she has been concerned about you, since Franks died. She alleges that she is not the only member of your team who is concerned about you. Tony and McGee tried to set you up on a date because they felt you were lonely." Dr. Cranston said, watching for a response from Gibbs, who started to laugh.

"Yes, they did." Gibbs said, grinning and shaking his head. "That is what Agent Borin told me-that my team believes that I am lonely."

"Mike Franks, was there when I needed him." Gibbs said. "Now, I have my team. Maybe I have started to call them more often on weekends, when we do not even have an active case." Gibbs considered the idea.

"I am just checking up on them." Gibbs said.

"Are you worried about them for some specific reason?" Dr. Cranston asked curiously. Gibbs shook his head in disagreement, giving her a critical stare.

"There is no one that you are concerned about right now?" Dr. Cranston asked. Gibbs looked at her with a grin and considered just lying rather than attracting attention to any certain team member.

"Maybe, I am a little concerned about DiNozzo right now. You know all about the super dangerous assignment that the new SecNav gave him." Gibbs said quickly. "Tony is really unaware of his own limitations."

"Yes, and I will attest that I have never seen him that rattled or vulnerable before that night I spent with him in the hospital." Dr. Cranston agreed.

"And, it does bother me that he is missing right now." Gibbs added looking somewhat accusingly at Dr. Cranston.

"Excuse me?" She asked in surprise.

"He never went to see his dad." Gibbs said bluntly. "He was supposed to be back this morning. We can't get in touch with him."

"That—that is interesting." Dr. Cranston said a bit flustered from the information.

"Is there anything else that you want to ask me about, Doc?" Gibbs asked confidently. Dr. Cranston took a minute to refocus.

"I just want to make sure that you grieved properly, Gibbs." Dr. Cranston redirected the conversation.

"I did. We did. My team lost Mike Franks too." Gibbs added. Dr. Cranston nodded in understanding.

Squad Room

"Ziva?" Gibbs said as he entered the squad room. He looked over at her, sitting at her desk also without a computer. "You all right?"

"Yes, thank you, Gibbs." Ziva answered with a smile, underneath her haunted look.

"Have you heard any news on Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"No, Gibbs. I have not. I am not sure who to call anymore. I just heard that he did pay cash for a car rental. His cell phone is still turned off. Why did NCIS have to take away our cell phones, as well?" Ziva shouted. A flustered Ziva waved her arms over where her computer would be.

"Check with Abby. I'll check with Ducky. Maybe, he tried to contact them." Gibbs said, shaking his head.

"He knows the number here at NCIS." Gibbs mumbled under his breath. He then slammed his drawer shut with both his hands cause the whole desk to shake. "Where is he!"

"Hello Abby." Ziva listened to Gibbs' rant, but then proceeded to call Abby. "Yes, well thank you Abby. I will tell Gibbs." Ziva looked over solemnly at Gibbs shaking her head. Gibbs angrily looked around the room, shaking his head. Then, he headed down to autopsy to talk with Ducky about the day's events.

Autopsy

"What kinds of questions did Fornell ask you?" Ducky asked.

"I am really not supposed to say." Gibbs said. "Apparently, confidential information about all our NCIS field agents was accessed and given to someone outside of NCIS."

"Oh my word!" Ducky responded. "That is a terrifying thought, Jethro. Do you think this has anything to do with Anthony's disappearance?"

After Ducky's comment, Gibbs turned away from him and started walking to the opposite end of the room.

"Jethro?" Ducky repeated in a very concerned voice. Gibbs started walking faster in circles. He turned back to Ducky with a frustrated and intense look.

"I don't know." Gibbs huffed. "Vance doesn't even want me looking for him."

"But you have been?" Ducky said more as a question, since he knew Gibbs could never follow that order.

"Of course." Gibbs said. "But I would have been on a plane to New York by now, if it wasn't for . . ." Gibbs admitted.

"Would you like me to?" Ducky asked. Gibbs considered the offer that Ducky made, than he shook his head in disagreement.

"We will find him, Ducky." Gibbs stated rather unconfidently.

"Yes, we will." Ducky tried to reassure Gibbs, as he could recognize the signs that Gibbs was not feeling in control of this situation.

"You should talk with Vance." Ducky suggested. Gibbs started to nod and headed toward the elevator.

"Thanks Duck." Gibbs said as he headed out of the door.

As he headed toward Vance's office, Gibbs passed through the squad room, to make sure that DiNozzo had not returned in his absence. Once again, the normally active squad room was a ghost town. McGee and Ziva were also absent and loose wires laid across the table as well as the floor. This only frustrated Gibbs more as he headed up the stairs to Vance's office.
