Tony watched as Gibbs stalked into the bullpen and slammed his coffee down onto the desk. Fury radiated off the Boss in waves that were practically palpable; with McGee and Abby both missing and no leads besides two creepy notes, that was understandable.
"Talk to me" he demanded.
"Palmer confirmed that the blood used on the note in Abby's apartment is definitely hers." Palmer was filling in on the basic forensics until they could find a temporary replacement. At the look on Gibbs' face, he felt compelled to add "Sorry Boss."
"Ziva?"
"The unknown fingerprints in McGee's apartment are a match for Sarah McGee. So far Palmer has not had time to process the prints we found in Abby's apartment."
"So we've got nothing?" He threw his empty coffee cup into the trash in frustration. "Tony, I want you to make a list. Anybody that could be after McGee. Ziva. Find out who Abby's been dating in the past year. I want everything you can find on them."
Tony stopped partway through dialling Central Files
"Boss, you don't think it's another one of Abby's crazy stalker boyfriends do you? Cause nobody knew about McGeek and his McGoth." He pointed out, getting the full brunt of the Gibbs stare for his efforts. Ziva rescued him from it. "That is true, Tony. But their...unusual relationship is common knowledge, yes?"
"Is that Maurer guy out yet?" Tony asked. "You know, the one she took out the restraining order against?"
"I don't know DiNozzo, why don't you check?" Gibbs snapped.
"On it, Boss."
...
Gibbs left the building abruptly, going on another coffee run. A quick glance sufficed to make sure that his protective detail followed. He hoped that the fresh air would help clear his head. He knew he was snapping at what was left of his team, knew that there was no way they could work any faster without the leads and evidence they needed, but he couldn't seem to stop himself. He was worried. Worried about McGee and Abby, about what had happened to them. He couldn't bring himself to believe that they were dead; but that brought forward a whole world of possibilities, none of which he wanted to contemplate.
...
Tony was frowning in concentration as Gibbs re-entered the squad room.
"Got that list for me yet, DiNozzo?"
"Not yet, Boss. Looks like McGee has a lot of enemies, ranging from people we've put away to the family of Landon, that crazy fan that tried to kill Abby. Seems they blame him for Landon's... issues. They've made a couple of death threats, but none of them have been taken seriously." Tony's voice was grim.
"They are now. Got an address?"
