-CHAPTER 11-

Gibbs left Jenkins with the MP's and joined his agents in hospital security.

"Boss, we cleaned out Jenkins' locker, sent it over to Abby to process." Tony reported.

"I pulled up the camera in the garage where Jenkins parks his car...you're not gonna like it." McGee said from his place at the monitor.

"I don't like anything about this case McGee," Gibbs snarked. "Just show me what you got."

McGee set up the feed to rerun on the screen and the agents watched the grainy feed of the garage showing nothing out of the ordinary at first but a moment later they caught a glimpse of a hooded figure in the lower left corner before the feed went black.

"What the hell," Gibbs exclaimed.

"Whoever was in the garage when Jenkins car was taken from the building knew exactly where the cameras were located," McGee explained.

Tony, a thoughtful look on his face, asked McGee, "What about the rest of the garage? Pull up the camera's for the rest of the garage for the next five minutes after the camera went down; if you tried to disable the whole garage that would immediately alert security..."

"So, we might be able to get a shot of the driver on the other floors as they exit the building." Ziva finished Tony's thought.

The team spent the next twenty minutes pouring over video feed, looking for a shot of Jenkins' car and the clear shot of the driver."

"Wait...stop, there...back it up..." Gibbs suddenly demanded. "There, stop it there."

The other agents looked at the video in confusion, trying to understand what their boss was seeing.

"Uh, boss, it's the same as all the other shots...no real view of the driver..." Tony finally said.

"McGee, can you zoom in there," Gibbs asked, pointing the area around the steering wheel.

While McGee keyed in the commands, Tony and Ziva exchanged confused looks.

"There," Gibbs said triumphantly.

Again all three agents looked at the screen, the looks on their faces showing they still didn't understand what their boss was seeing.

"Uh, boss...it's a hand..." Tony said, "A hand covered in those clear, hospital gloves so we can't even get prints."

"It's what's not on the hand DiNozzo. Jenkins' is telling the truth." Gibbs said, turning to McGee he ordered, "Give me a copy of this frame."

The three agents looked at each other in confusion before Ziva questioned, "But Palmer saw him..."

"No, Palmer saw the car...not the driver," Gibbs reminded his agents. "He knows the driver of the car..."

"So when Palmer saw the car he just assumed it was Jenkins driving," McGee said.

Tony thought for a moment then scowled, "It that's true and we have the wrong guy..."

"Palmer is still in danger." Gibbs finished.
