Hello everyone! This is my new fanfiction. I do NOT own NCIS or its characters.
Before you start reading, there are two things I would like to tell you: 1) This fanfiction takes place about three years after Kate's death. 2) Do not believe anything you read here because a lot of the stuff you are about to read is made up to match the story!
"She totally fell for me. And then, just when she gave me that look... you know what look I'm talking about, McGeek?"
"No, no I don't know what look, Tony, and I don't think I wanna know", Timothy McGee replied when his colleague, Anthony DiNozzo recounted just another weekend date he had.
"I thought so, well..." Tony was about to answer but was cut off by NCIS Director Leon Vance, who stood on the stairs behind Tony.
"Special Agent DiNozzo", the Director started seriously, making Tony immediately turn around.
"Yes?"
"Meet me in my office, now", the male said, before going back upstairs.
Ziva David, who worked with NCIS for about three years then, looked at Tony, "Looks like someone got in trouble?"
"Very funny", he replied, before walking upstairs, following the Director.
It was a fresh day in April, noon, when a knock was heard in the Director's office.
"Come in", Director Vance answered.
Tony opened the door and walked in, finding the Director with a young-looking stranger inside. The two males sat at the Director's desk, an empty chair next to the stranger.
"Please sit down", the Director pointed to the empty chair, opposite his own.
The Special Agent did as he was told before the Director started explaining.
"Special Agent DiNozzo, this is Special Agent Lawson from the USSS", the Director introduced the blond agent who was in his late twenties, and the women-loving agent.
"Secret Service?" Tony said in surprise, not knowing what was to come next.
"The USSS is in a crisis right now and about to start an important secret mission to protect the president and the citizens of our country", the Director started.
Special Agent Lawson nodded and added, "Due to the fact that top secret Naval information is involved, we would appreciate the collaboration of NCIS and would be pleased to have an agent take part in our mission."
"You want me to protect the country?"
"Together with one of our best agents", Lawson affirmed.
Tony nodded, "What do I have to do?"
"If you accept, you will meet the Director of the Secret Service first thing tomorrow morning. He will tell you the exact plan then, seeing as it's a secret mission", the young agent explained.
"Is there a reason I was chosen?" Tony asked, trying to find out what he would have to do.
Vance looked at him, "The Secret Service Director, Foster, asked me to give him one of the best agents I have and told me some qualities that agent requires, which you do."
"Seeing as it's about saving the country I would love to accept, but not knowing what's to come to me is kinda not the way I do this."
Special Agent Lawson looked down for a few seconds before sighing, looking at Tony, "A plan went wrong so part of the mission is to bring a prisoner back to his home country."
"A terrorist?"
"Yes."
"What did he do?"
"He stole top secret Naval information, we arrested him. Too bad that was their plan, because now they threaten us to attack the president, in case we don't give them their men back."
"What about the information he stole?"
"We got it back, but we don't know if he was able to inform his colleagues of anything before we arrested him."
Tony nodded and stayed silent for a moment, "I'll do it."
"Good. Then meet Director Foster at the USSS Headquarters tomorrow, 10 am. We expect you to not talk with anyone about this mission, even when it's finished."
Tony nodded again, "Got it."
After everything was settled, Tony dismissed Special Agent Lawson and went back to the bullpen, where his two team colleagues, David and McGee, already awaited him.
"What did the Director want, Tony?"
"None of your business, McGee."
McGee didn't reply, so Ziva made a guess instead, "Maybe he was fired?"
Tony faked a grin, "Very funny, Officer David, but no, I was not fired. Actually, I just got to hear that I am one of Director Vance's best agents."
"Sure", Ziva ironically agreed.
"What?" Tony didn't understand the irony, "He said that."
"If you say so..."
"Anyways, where's the boss?" Tony changed the subject.
McGee shrugged, "I think he went down to Abby."
Tony nodded before going to the elevator, riding it down to Abby's lab. Just as the doors opened, Gibbs stood in front of him, joining him in the elevator.
"Boss, we need to talk", Tony started.
Gibbs looked at Tony and waited for him to say something.
"Director just talked to me, I will be part of a secret mission, starting tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take, but for the next time I won't be here."
Gibbs nodded but didn't say something.
"What?" Tony looked at his boss, "No »I will miss you« or »But I need you here, DiNozzo, because you are the best agent I got in my team«?"
Gibbs stayed silent for a few seconds, until the doors of the elevator opened, "Don't get yourself killed", he said, stepping out of the elevator.
The next day, Tony got up at eight. After he got out of bed, slowly, he went into his bathroom to take a shower. Being done with that, he walked into his kitchen and made himself a sandwich.
He asked himself how this mission was going to turn out, how long it would take, if it would be dangerous. But he had no idea what was to come. And he could never imagine. Because this mission was going to be very intense in all kind of ways.
At the Secret Service Headquarters, Tony was immediately taken to one of the conference rooms, in which he was already awaited by Director Foster.
"Special Agent DiNozzo, I am Director Foster, hello", the dark-haired, fifty-year-old man greeted Tony, while walking over to him.
After shaking hands, the two sat down at a long table.
"Agent Lawson has already informed you what the basics of the mission are."
Tony nodded, "Yes, he mentioned a terrorist that needs to be delivered back into his home country. The president and Naval information has to be protected."
"Exactly. You will work together with one of our top agents. I hope it doesn't bother you to work with a woman?"
"Bother?" A grin came on Tony's face, "Why would that bother me?"
"Good. I believe your boss knows of you being here."
Tony nodded, "Of course. He's my boss, he kinda needs to know where I am."
"That's alright. But remember that besides saying that you take part in this mission, you cannot tell anyone about this."
"I sure got that part. Now about the entire mission..."
"A few years ago we were able to make a secret pact with a terrorist. When the terrorist got killed, the pact died with him. That's when his colleagues threatened us that if we didn't give them Naval information, they would attack the president. We agreed, but of course we couldn't risk giving out top secret information. Instead, we faked realistic information and gave it to them. They seemed to buy it. Anyway, they sent one of their man to us to steal information, that's when we knew that they knew we were faking. We arrested the terrorist either way, not knowing that it was a trap. Since the arrest they have been threatening us that if we didn't give them their man back, we would lose our president and thousands or millions of citizens."
"What organization is the terrorist from?"
"Mossad."
Tony's eyes widened, "Mossad?"
"Yes. Anyway, your job is to bring the terrorist back, try to find out if any of the information he stole reached the Mossad yet, and if so, bring it back. You also need to find out what they have planned as attack on the president."
Tony nodded, "Your agent... is she good?"
"Very. She has experience, strength and everything else a good agent requires."
"When will the mission start?"
"When my agent arrives she will tell you everything you need to know about the fake information we created and also everything you need to know about or prisoner", the Director answered.
"When will we bring the prisoner back to Tel Aviv?"
"Next Monday. We have planned for you two to stay there for two to three days and then return."
Tony nodded, "Okay."
The Director checked his watch, sighing, "Where the hell is she?"
"The agent I'm about to work with?"
"Yes", Director Foster looked back at Tony, "You have to excuse her, she is usually not like that, but we're quite busy lately."
"It's alright, I have time", Tony answered.
"Just don't think bad of her. She really is a good agent."
"Is she on some other mission right now?"
Foster shook his head, "No, I suppose she is doing research for your mission or is getting things done."
"What kinda things?"
"Booking flights, making appointments for the president. I don't know. She said she'd be here on time though."
"Maybe she just needs some ladies' room time", Tony winked.
The Director was just about to answer the federal agent, when the doors swung open, a brunette woman rushing inside, "Sorry I'm late, I still had to", she stopped in the middle of the sentence as she caught sight of Tony.
Silence filled the room, Tony and the brunette staring at each other, speechless and shocked, as well as confused.
"What the...", was all Tony could say.
The Director on the other hand, didn't notice their thoughts, so he introduced the two instead, "Special Agent DiNozzo, I would like you to meet one of our best agents, and your partner, Special Agent Caitlin Todd."
Alright, that's it for the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review to let me know what you think of this chapter. Thanks :-)
