Chapter 2
"Hey Probie," Tony said, breaking the silence that had filled the elevator. "Got a question for you."
"What is it Tony?" McGee sighed, bracing himself for the onslaught of questions he knew was coming.
"When we were back at the vic's apartment, you called her Kat..." Tony stated, a smirk on his lips. "Now why would you call her by a shorter version of her name?" He stared straight ahead, not looking at McGee.
"I figured it was easier to call her Kat than by her full name, ok?" McGee replied, as the doors of the elevator opened. Rolling his eyes, he knew the questions wouldn't stop coming unless Gibbs happened to walk in on them. Suddenly he did actually hope this would be one of those moments.
"You sure? Cause you seemed to know a lot about her..." Tony continued as he exited behind McGee. McGee turned around to face Tony, a serious look on his face.
"I told you, my sister has seem them around at various places she goes." McGee growled. He just wanted to drop this conversation, all he wanted to do was find Katherine and Elizabeth.
"What did you get at the apartment?" Gibbs asked, interrupting the bombardment of questions. Silently thanking the heavens, McGee moved to drop his go back.
"Found nothing to indicate they had been taken from their apartment so it's safe to say that they weren't taken from there." McGee said, turning to face Gibbs. "We did bring back their laptops and a pair of boxers we found in Katherine's room. Ziva was running everything to Abby."
"Playing devil's advocate here, how did the kidnapper get the girls at their apartment under the noses of all their bodyguards? They'd have to be pros, really good ones. The simple answer. They didn't." Tony pointed out, pulling up photos of the girls' apartment on the plasma screen.
"The girls have a habit of sneaking out, ditching their bodyguards." Ziva added, as she joined the conversation returning from Abby's lab.
"Kidnapper might have been watching them for a while, waiting for the chance to grab them maybe a few blocks from their place." Tony chimed in. He looked between Ziva, McGee and Gibbs. Gibbs looked at his team, his familiar Gibbs look on his face.
"Maybe someone saw something?" McGee suggested, pulling up a map of the area surrounding the apartment.
"Tony, Ziva, go knock on doors, see if anyone's seen anything." Gibbs ordered, turning to McGee. "McGee, start a trace on their cell phones, find out where the last place they were turned on."
"You know, this kind of reminds me.." Tony began as he picked up his bag again.
"A movie you once saw?" Ziva replied, raising an eyebrow.
"One that we don't need to hear about because it doesn't help our case?" McGee added, an annoyed tone in his voice. Tony blinked, looking at McGee.
"Go on, there are doors to be knocked on." Gibbs grunted, sitting down at his desk.
"We were just here." Tony groaned as he and Ziva exited from their car.
"Yes, but we didn't look outside the apartment." Ziva replied, rolling her eyes at Tony's complaints. She often wondered how he had lasted this long at NCIS, or how he had ever been a police officer to begin with. "We just assumed that they had been taken from inside." Ziva and Tony began to look around the alley when Tony's cell phone rang.
"What is it Probie?" Tony inquired as he looked down at the caller ID. Ziva stopped and looked up at Tony.
"I ran Katherine's cell phone. It says it should be just down the alley from where you and Ziva are." McGee's voice said on the other line.
"Thanks McGeek." Tony said, closing his phone. He turned to Ziva and pointed down the alley. "Probie says their phone should be right down there." Ziva nodded and walked down towards the location Tony was pointing towards. Tony followed shortly behind her, his eyes taking in anything that could indicate a struggle.
"Tony, I think I found one of the purses." Ziva said, pulling on gloves before picking up the purse. She rustled through it and withdrew a wallet. Handing it to Tony, she continued to poke around, pulling out a cell phone this time. "Still on..."
"This is definitely Katherine's purse." Tony added, pulling out Katherine's drivers license. Tony glanced over Ziva's shoulder. "There's blood on the wall behind you." He pointed before putting away the license. Ziva turned around and notived the splatter.
"Looks like someone landed a punch." Ziva stated, inspecting it. "I'll swab it and send it to Abby." Ziva said, bagging the purse and grabbing a swab for the blood collection. Tony looked around a bit more down the alley and found another purse. Looking through the wallet he pulled out Elizabeth's drivers license.
"Found Elizabeth's purse too." He shouted back at Ziva, bagging that purse as well. He walked back to where Ziva stood and looked around. There were only a few windows looking out at the alley, but Gibbs would tell them to leave no stone unturned. "Ladies first." Tony grinned, motioning towards the building next door.
"Always a gentleman." Ziva snorted as she packaged up the swab. Grabbing the evidence, she put them in the car as they passed. "Let's go knock on some doors."
