Back at the Airport, a short while later...
"The car is from Capital Rentals." Ziva said. "If the car has GPS, we should be able to track it. McGee is on hold with them now."
"She's probably taking them back to the hotel, Boss." Tony said.
"DiNozzo, you're with me." Gibbs said, before casting a look at Ziva. "Stay with McGee. The moment you have the tracking information, you let me know where they're at."
Ziva nodded as Gibbs and Tony started walking away.
"Oh...and Ziva?" Gibbs called over his shoulder. "Tell McGee that he might have better luck at the counter instead of on the damn phone!"
Ziva frowned in confusion. Glancing over at McGee, she let her eyes travel the area around him before letting out an exasperated sigh. Capital Rentals had a counter at the Airport. All McGee had to do was turn around.
...
Mark followed Sienna's directions, leading the three car group into the hotel parking lot. As everyone exited their cars, the group grabbed their bags and headed towards the back entrance of the hotel. Ignoring the questions and demands of the paparazzi, the group pushed their way inside and headed to their rooms.
As the Cena family headed to their rooms, Sienna led the rest to theirs. Opening the door, Sienna immediately turned on the television for the two kids and then moved over to Sara and Mark.
"There's two bed's in the bedroom and then the couch pulls out." Sienna said softly. "I figured Mom and Dad and the kids could take one room, Uncle Dwayne and Uncle Glen could take the other and Matt, Mickie, Jeff and I can sleep out here."
"You should take the room." Mark replied, as he turned to her.
Sara nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Dad and I can sleep out here."
Sienna gave them a small smile, knowing what they were trying to do and shook her head.
"It doesn't make any sense for you two to sleep out here. Abby won't be separated from Brendan and you know Brendan won't fall asleep in a strange room without you two near him." she said.
Seeing a look of hesitation cross their faces, she tried to brighten her smile and pretend she was okay.
"I'll be fine, guys." She insisted. "I promise."
Mark looked at Sarah, then nodded his assent and turned back to his daughter.
"Fine." He said. "But, if you need us, you come get us. Got it?"
Sienna nodded, her smile brightening just a bit more.
"I will." She said. "I promise."
Mark looked at her another moment, then nodded.
"Okay." He said. "Give us a minute to unpack and then we'll be ready to go."
Sienna nodded, watching everyone disappear into their bedrooms. Moving to the small table, Sienna took a seat, keeping her eyes trained on the two kids watching cartoons. It wasn't until a cup of coffee was set in front of her that she realized she wasn't alone. Sienna's eyes took in the steaming cup of coffee, then lifted her head and looked at the person sitting across from her at the table.
"Thank you." she said quietly as she smiled.
Jeff nodded, taking a long sip of his own coffee as he studied her.
"So... how are you really?" he asked.
Sienna's smile stayed firmly in place as she looked at her best friend.
"I'm fine." she replied.
Jeff's brow rose. "Fine?"
Sienna nodded. "Yes. Fine. They caught him. It's all over. I'm fine."
"Sienna...stop." Jeff said firmly.
Sienna's eyes widened slightly. "Stop what?"
"You're practically swimming in your clothes. I can tell by the circles under your eyes that you haven't slept. And you started smoking again...I can smell it. You may be able to fool everyone else with that fake smile and positive attitue, but I know you better than anyone, Sienna." Jeff replied, leaning forward. "You are anything but fine."
Sienna looked away from Jeff. She didn't want to do this now... or ever.
"You need to take..." Jeff continued.
"What I need..." Sienna interrupted, her eyes flashing. "is to get through this without a third degree from my best friend."
The two glared at each other. Unable to stand anymore tension, Sienna sighed softly and looked away.
"All of this...it all happened because of me, Jeff." She whispered. "I may as well have done all of it with my own two hands. How do you expect me to eat and sleep knowing that?"
Jeff's mouth dropped open slightly, his head already shaking from side to side in denial. The words about to roll off the tip of his tongue were halted as Mark and Sara came out of the bedroom. Their conversation postponed, the two friends stood up as everybody filed into the main room. It was time to go get answers.
...
Gibbs made a sharp right turn, squealing into the parking lot behind the hotel as McGee's voice wafted over the speaker phone. Gibbs slammed on the break, the car jerking to a stop. Throwing the car in park, he grabbed the phone from Tony and got out of the car.
"I don't see it, McGee!" He barked into the phone.
"Uh...you should be right next to it, Boss." McGee said on the other end. "No more than ten feet away."
Tony, now out of the car as well, looked around and then pointed to three cars in the corner spaces.
"There, Boss." He said. "They're still here."
Gibbs glanced at the three SUV's, and then spoke into the phone. "McGee, you and Ziva get back to the office and find my damn answers!"
Gibbs hung up the phone before Tim could respond and started jogging towards the back door of the hotel. The two agents went inside the hotel and stepped into the first elevator that opened. As their doors squeezed tightly shut, another set of elevator doors opened. And before Gibbs and Tony could make it back downstairs, the three SUV's were filled and burning rubber out of the parking lot.
