Impervious
Fornell couldn’t help shaking his head at how impervious Gibbs was. McGee and him had been here for days at the mercy of their captors. McGee would have the scars to prove it. Gibbs though walked away completely unharmed minus some injuries from the way they’d had him hanging and how tight the bonds around his wrists had been.
Agent Balboa and his team took Agent McGee to the hospital to get his wounds looked at, while Agent Fornell took lead of the investigation since kidnapping of federal agents did fall under FBI jurisdiction. He left one FBI team at the shop to go over every inch of it and see if they could find anymore evidence that might lead them to Agent DiNozzo or the people after him.
“What were they after, Gibbs?” Fornell probed as he led Gibbs to his vehicle and started the way back to NCIS, knowing Gibbs would want to report in to Vance and check in with the rest of his team.
“They were looking for DiNozzo. They showed a picture to McGee that if I had to guess was taken when DiNozzo was 12 and demanded to know where he was.” Gibbs explained, still trying to wrap his mind around what had happened.
“Well, that’s good.” Fornell offered.
“Good? How is that good? DiNozzo is clearly in danger.” Gibbs growled.
“Yes, but they clearly don’t have him or they wouldn’t be trying to get you to tell them where he was. So while he’s in danger, he’s probably not captured, yet.” Fornell pointed out.
Gibbs grunted.
