Fornell handed Gibbs a cup of coffee. Gibbs sipped it and nodded his thanks.
"We are following a lead. All is quiet at the moment. I was just about to check in with McGee unless you want to."
Gibbs nodded as he hit the button on the headset and leaned into the doorway as Fornell walked towards the living room to sweep the house.
McGee was in MTAC watching the split screen around Gibb's house when Gibbs popped up on the screen. "Boss, how's Kelly?"
"She is fine McGee." Gibbs said quietly. McGee was a bit taken back at the softness of Gibb's voice. Boss was not his usual gruffy self. "What do you got for me?" Gibbs asked.
McGee licked his lips to gather his thoughts quickly. "Boss I set up an alert system for any of the Rivera's names that may show up at the airport, rentals, etc. Well we got one from a car rental at the Regan National Airport. Tristian Rivera's savings card was swiped at the Hertz rental but the car is rented under a false name. We got the video surveillance but he managed to avoid showing his face. We are working on getting a description from the agent and tack him movements."
Gibbs sighed. "Just keep me updated McGee and you watch your six." And he hung up.
McGee let out a slow sigh as he took off his headset and headed out of MTAC. He had expected Gibbs to go off but he didn't. He was a bit surprised but knew Gibbs was just being very smart and levelheaded. McGee knew he needed to take the same approach so the he won't miss anything.
Tony came in the bullpen with the composite sketch as McGee came down the stairs. "No identifying fingerprints on the counter and he managed to avoid all the cameras. I hope this sketch identifies him because this getting old real fast. How did Gibbs take the news?"
"Almost too calm. It was not what I was expecting." Replied McGee.
Tony took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes. He was so tired. "We better get this down to Abby and see if we can find out who this guy is. I have a feeling time is running out."
He didn't drive far from the airport. He was tired and checked into the hotel with no problem. It would be morning before he would hear what the next step was and he intended to get some sleep. But first he decided a little room service to celebrate a job almost done was needed.
