The Rescue
As Gibbs ordered McGee to trace the call from the cell Kate was using, he was saying comforting nothings through the phone to Kate, who was nearly hysterical.
"I have a place Gibbs" came Tim's voice timidly over the computer monitor, as though scared that something was going to come flying at him to punish him for being annoying. He was partially right, as Gibbs then threw the SatNav, or what Gibbs assumed was the SatNav, to McGee so that he could program the address into it. One of the problems with the SatNav, or Shelly as Tony had named her, was that she tended to have problems keeping up with his driving. Gibbs was permanently being told to slow down or to do a legal u-turn when next possible as they had just missed there turning. Shelly clearly didn't come with a Gibbs setting that allowed her to keep up with his driving… Maybe he should get Abby on that…
"Right, gear up. We're going to get Kate. DiNozzo, gas the truck. McGee, make sure you have everything we may need, and pray that we don't need half of it."
Gibbs then stood waiting for Tony to come rushing to it, eager to please him, when this didn't happen Gibbs turned on the spot slowly to look for Tony around the bullpen. Not seeing him Gibbs stormed up to the Directors office and slammed the door open, despite Cynthia's protests against it.
"Jethro" came the cool voice of the first female director of NCIS
"Jenny." came the angered reply from Gibbs "I currently have one Agent MIA in some godforsaken place in god knows where, and you're holding my SENIOR FIELD AGENT up in your office? I need more than McGee with me to get Kate back!" Gibbs then turned and stormed back to bullpen, causing all the agents who gathered to watch the argument to scatter. Gibbs then turned to DiNozzo, who had appeared in the bullpen so quickly, Gibbs swore he must have vaulted the balcony. "You're with me," and throwing the keys at him "go gas the truck, McGee is waiting for you. Jenny... I'll talk to you when we get back" With that, Gibbs glared at the Director, turned on his heel and stalked to the stair well.
Tony ran down to the car, leapt into the drivers seat and had it gassed and ready to go before Gibbs could get down there. Looking to McGee he stated
"Where are we going?"
"We," McGee replied, "are going to rescue Kate"
Upon hearing this, Tony jumped into the truck, showing energy that hadn't been seen from the Senior Field Agent since Kate went missing. After what seemed like an age Gibbs drove past in his sudan, taking off at a hair-raising, g-force inducing speed. He was desperate to get his profiler back, the bullpen seemed just a little less inviting without her there.
Abby, meanwhile, was ensconced in the morgue with Jimmy and Ducky, hoping that the team got Kate back and that she wasn't too damaged…
After a break-neck drive Gibbs skidded to a stop where the signal had been traced to, the area was a section of desert that had only one small building with a single door. Upon opening this door Gibbs came upon a door that led down, seemingly to go down forever as there was no light from about halfway down. A dilemma was faced now, does he wait for McGee and Tony to be his backup and possibly leave Kate to more torture, or go down without the backup and risk getting caught himself. This was answered for him as McGee and Tony pulled up and stopped next to his car. All 3 men pulled out their guns and torches and proceeded down the stairs… Gibbs in the lead.
