Gibbs Went back to the bullpen, he would have gone to see Ducky but the ME had gone home for the night. He had been at work for almost two days straight and for a man of his age was starting to feel the effects of it. Gibbs stepped out the elevator to see Abby and Ziva looking at him.

"Something happen?" Gibbs asked as he walked over to his desk.

"No we came up to talk" Ziva replied. Abby was looking around, she wondered where Tim was.

"Hey, where McGee?" Abby asked.

"He'll be back in the morning" Gibbs threw the empty cup in the bin and was about to continue when he was interrupted by Abby.

"Why? What happened? Is he okay?"

"Yeah Abby he's fine, he just needs some rest" Gibbs could tell that Abby wanted to say more but she got a look From Ziva telling her that it wasn't the time to ask questions when there were other things to do.

"We came to ask if you need to talk to Tony yet?"

"Where is he?"

"He's asleep on my futon, oh and I ran the hair on the victim It belongs to our mystery guy"

"Gibbs me and Abby were talking and we think that we need help on this one"

Gibbs sighed he knew this was coming.

"Fine we will talk tomorrow morning" Abby and Ziva looked at each other.

"you want us to go home?"

"Yeah and I don't want anyone in till eight thirty unless I call them"

"But…" Abby argued.

"No, go home"

Tim lay on his sofa, his head fallen back and his arms slouched at his side. He was giving off a small snoring sound.

The sudden sound of knocking woke him. Tim almost jumped straight to his feet but he stopped halfway off the chair and then fell back down.

"Hey come on McGee!" It was Tony's voice.

Tim got up slowly, he had a pounding headache.

"Just a minute Tony" He said as he found his bearings and then went to the door.

"Hey there sleeping beauty" Tony said with a big cheesy grin.

"Yeah, Tony umm what time is it?" Tim said as he yawned and rubbed his eye.

"It's twelve forty five; did you sleep in your clothes?" It was more of an observation then a question. Tony pushed himself into Tim's apartment and looked around.

"I guess I did, it's weird I don't even remember getting home last night" Tim closed the door and went into his kitchen, he needed some coffee.

"yeah Gibbs said you weren't lookin to good last night" Tony leant against the counter.

"Ha I'm not even sure I remember why I…." Tim stopped mid-sentence when his head seemed to pound extra hard making him drop the cup back down on the counter and bring his hand to his head, Tony noticed and moved closer.

"You okay McGee?" Tony asked as he placed the cup back up right instead of on its side.

"Nope, I feel like I have a hangover" Tim shook the feeling and went back to making coffee.

"Well I just surprised that you know what one feels like Mcsensible" Tony smiled and so did Tim.

"Anyway the boss man says you got half an hour to get into work" Tim handed Tony a coffee and then headed to his room with his.

"Cant imagine he's happy with me being two hours late" Tim opened his wardrobe and began to take out clothes Tony just stayed near his computer.

"Not exactly, but then again you can just play the sick card. For some reason he seems worried about you"

"In what way?" Tim stepped into his bathroom and started the shower ready for when he got in.

"Well I think you kind of freaked him out McGee, I mean I wasn't there but from the little he told me you had some kind of panic attack. I think he gunna send you to Ducky when you get in"

"Well I don't think it will help, other than the headache I feel fine and I don't even remember what happened last night" Tim stepped into the shower.

"Ziva, you find anything?" Gibbs asked as he came back up from Abby's lab.

"Nope" Ziva wanted to say more but there was simple nothing more to say.

"Great still nothing" Gibbs turned on his computer.

"Abby didn't find anything?"

"No, everything is squeaky clean on this case"

"You seem to be taking this very well Gibbs" Ziva was thinking.

"Not well, just waiting for this guy to make a mistake"

"Well it's just you are normally more agitated by now"

"Oh I am" Ziva squinted and looked back at her computer screen, she couldn't figure Gibbs out.

"hey Abby, I got the samples that Ducky wanted you to test " Jimmy handed Abby a tray.

"Thanks Jimmy although I don't know what he think I'll find"

"Yeah about that, do you think you can fill me in? I mean I missed most of the case because I was on vacation with my parents and everyone just seems to think I know all the details but I don't"

"Oh, sure. You ready?" Jimmy nodded.

"okay so just over a week ago Petty officer Zack Butterwick was murdered by a mystery guy we still don't know who he is, he then went on the kill Admiral Wendel Ford, Captain Charlie Mayson, Commander Danni Sams and then last but not least lieutenants Sam Littlefair and Ellie Evans"

"Okay anything else I should know about the case?" Jimmy questioned.

"Yes, we do not have any suspects, any motive, any connection between the victims, so basically the case has gone nowhere "

"Right got it" Abby smiled her Abby smile and the Jimmy slowly turned around r=trying to take in the information he had just received from the girl who had clearly had too much Caf-Pow.

Tony pulled into the NCIS parking lot, they had decided to take Tony's car as Tim didn't want to drive with his headache which seemed to come and go as it felt.

He showed their ID's and then parked his car.

Tim was lost in thought; he was trying to figure out what had happened.

His head was almost touching the window and his eyes were distant, he didn't even hear Tony telling him they were there. He just sat there as a a strange feeling came over his body, like he couldn't move. Then he remembered something….

Hey, yeah I know there was nothing on the E-mail itself but it's because Tim doesn't remember it, but the next chapter is a flashback so it could give off some hints :D Please review xxx
