"So, maybe you guys could answer a question, well, a few questions for me," Morgan asked, trying to hide her fear.
Lenier smiled, "Hmm. Seems fair, since you will be answering some of mine tonight." He trailed his fingers down her face before she twisted away.
"Just what did Petty Officer Stevens stumble across?" The man behind her jerked her arm, and she turned to follow him. Lenier smirked, "The boy stumbled across a weapons deal. He let the wrong people know he had witnessed something."
"Enough, Lenier; the girl doesn't need to know."
Morgan had hoped she'd be able to see who this man was-something told her he was the man she had seen dumping the body-but he was wearing a mask. "Need to know-nope-but incredibly curious, yes."
Lenier laughed, "Oh, go on, tell her. She'll be telling you everything you need to know soon enough. It is a give and take relationship, no?"
The man huffed, "Not now." They were at the car now, and the masked man opened the trunk. Morgan had hoped someone would see them, but it was too dark and the street was deserted. "You must be crazy if you think I am getting in there-" A hard shove cut her off as she fell into the trunk, her legs pushed in after. Before she could twist around to her back, the lid shut, leaving her alone in the darkness. She started to kick the lid of the trunk, not giving up hope someone would hear her, but the car started and the music was turned up. She dropped her head in defeat as the heavy rock music filled the air.
Something was wrong. Gibbs knew it, and Tony and Ziva knew it. Gibbs slammed the phone down, "McGee's not answering."
"Neither is Morgan," Ziva added as she hung up. They each moved to the elevator at the same time. The silence on the way to the church was broken only by Ziva's repeated calls to both McGee and Morgan. Gibbs had barely parked before they all leaped from the car, running to the building. They moved to the sanctuary, eyes searching every darkened corner.
A slight inhale of breath and Tony called, "Over here!" He bent over and tapped McGee lightly on the cheek, "Come on, McGee. Wake up!" McGee groaned and forced his eyes open, confusion furrowing his brow. Then memory rushed back and he shot up and swayed, leaning on Tony. "Boss! Morgan!"
"Where is she?" Gibbs questioned.
"Two men-one by Morgan, the other came up behind me. Boss," He grimaced, "that one was Lenier."
"Lenier-psycho torturer Lenier?" Tony asked, eyes piercing.
"Yes!"
Gibbs' phone rang, "Abby, not now."
"Tell us," Ziva commanded.
"I was checking the room while she played…" He relayed the events quickly. "She was…it was like she was trying to show me she would be fine. She showed no fear."
"Give me the location, Abbs." The agents turned their gaze to Gibbs, running to keep up as he strode from the room. Telling Abby to call him if the location changed, he started driving. "Abby has a location, an abandoned factory south of here."
"How did she get a location?" Ziva asked.
Gibbs sped through the intersection. "She had her phone on her," He said simply.
