A/N: I do not own NCIS. Also I apologize to everyone who follows this that I haven't written in a while. I got distracted and had some writers block.
Tim decided it would be best to keep talking to Marie, gain her trust.
"Marie, what have you been up to these last few months? I feel like we should catch up." McGee hoped that she would have plenty to say.
"Oh, you know, the usual. I have been working, but working from home is never hard. I have been doing yoga and Zumba too, trying to stay fit for you. In fact, I think we go to same gym."
McGee inwardly groaned, so many pieces he missed. Suddenly he heard a door shut.
"Marie, come here for a minute." Another women's voice called.
"Oh just a second Tim, my friend needs a word. I will be back before you know it." She smiled and leaned in close, almost kissing him, then backed away and shut the door to the room on her way out.
McGee let out the breath he was holding. And immediately tried to see if he could hear what was going on, but to avail. He was too far from the door and making any movements towards the door would be heard in the wooden chair he was now tied to. He glanced around the room again, the desk was still there, no windows, and the walls looked like they were unfinished, he was guessing they were in a warehouse somewhere. He didn't remember anything about the drive over, his guess is he was hit with some sort of drug.
Back at NCIS:
Abby had finally gone through the camera footage – it was hard with all the chaos after the car explosion and so many emergency vehicles but finally she found McGee heading towards the evidence garage just as he told Gibbs he was. She then noticed an Ambulance following him, and him stopping and turning towards it before he fell down. Then she watched as two supposed EMT's in masks grabbed him and put him in the back of the ambulance. She was frustrated that no one saw this going on.
Abby let out a breath, she zoomed in on the ambulance number and license plate and sent those to Tony and Ziva to look up. Normally she would send that information to Tim. Her eyes felt heavy, she had cried but now she had to focus on finding him. Who knows what they would do to him, she hoped he was safe.
Abby had a moment to think about what he meant to her, yes they had dated, but really they acted more like sister and brother but only in the way they were protective of each other and wanted to hang out. Did she miss the romantic relationship with him? She tried to shake of that thought, now was not the time.
Tony received the email and had done a search. "Boss, The ambulance was reported stolen about 2 days ago. I assume this was all part of the plan, we would let any emergency vehicle through. I can't track it more than that, I will follow up with the hospital that it was taken from."
Gibbs nodded. Then turned as Ziva came back in, "Anything?"
Ziva shook her head. "They are now saying she is UA. I asked her bunk mate if anything odd has been going on with Petty Office Roy. She mentioned Roy was often out when she could leave with a friend who is an accountant and a supposed hacker. Roy was joking about using her new connection to get rich."
Gibbs wasn't in the mood for back story, "Name?"
"All she knew was a first name, Marie."
"Tony, did you find another Marie in McGee's list of girls he went out with. Not Dent since she is downstairs, but another girl?"
Tony quickly pulled up his list, "Just a second Boss, let me check."
Gibbs tried to be patient but one of his own was out there. "Tony.." His patience wearing.
"Got it Gibbs, Marie Quillen." Tony stood up and grabbed the clicker off his desk. "Here we go, Quillen is a personal accountant and avid gamer which is probably how she met McGee." Tony quipped. Gibbs raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, they went on one date almost 6 months ago according to McGee's list."
Gibbs jumped in "Tony with me, we are heading to her house. Ziva, turn over everything on this women and check into Petty Officer Roy's accounts. I am wondering if she was the one stealing money." Ziva nodded and Tony grabbed his bag.
About 30 minutes later Gibbs and Tony had parked at Quillen's apartment building, they found the building manager and had him open the door.
Tony and Gibbs looked at each other, ushered the building manager aside, and opened the door.
Tony called out, "NCIS". Went through the small apartment quickly, "Clear!"
Gibbs huffed, she wasn't here, and it frustrated him to no end. "Tony, search anything, find anything that could lead us to her."
Tony nodded and headed into the bedroom. "Boss, you'll want to see this." Tony looked around the room, pictures of McGee were everywhere. And by the bed was a picture frame that contained a photo shopped picture of McGee and Marie. Tony whistled, "Yike."
Gibbs had come in at this point, "Yes Tony, McGee is in trouble, did you find anything useful to find her?"
Tony nodded, "Yeah boss, this seems to be a diary, I was thinking it might point us to where she is hiding out."
McGee meanwhile, had been sitting in the room alone for what must have been about an hour when he heard the door open. He looked up as Marie walked back in.
"So Timmy, I think we should have dinner and then I need you to help me with something." Marie smiled.
McGee was nervous, "What do you need?" He asked. He was afraid of the answer.
"Oh Timmy, nothing much. But I want us to have money to run away and be together. And if you love me, you will help me and my friend get some money for that. I am thinking we should go to Europe or maybe somewhere warm. Hold on a second, let me grab the table and dinner, I made lasagna, you'll love it."
Marie hurried out of the room as McGee was internally freaking out. Steal? He couldn't do that. But he wondered how she wanted to steal the money, if he could access a computer for it, he could get a signal out.
She came back with a black fold table, put it up and covered it with a table cloth. Then she ran back of the room and came back with wine glasses and paper plates and forks. Then out again and back with food and wine.
As she sat down, Marie looked at McGee, "Now Timmy, let's talk about our future. And don't worry, I'll feed you. When should the wedding date be?"
