L.J. Gibbs stood in the same elevator that he took up to the third floor of the NCIS building every work day sipping his black coffee. He was thinking about how he was not looking forward to dealing with agents Ziva, McGee, and Tony's behavior today. Though he didn't show it he loved his team to death he just didn't like having to play a school principle every day. The elevator doors open and L.J. Gibbs walked down to his and his team's cubicle. To his curiosity and annoyance no one was there. L.J. Gibbs took one more look around the empty cubicle and stomped up the stairs leading to the director's office. He barged past Cynthia ignoring her complaints and pushed open the doors to Vance's office.
Vance sat in his black leather chair, and Ziva, McGee, and Tony stood in front of his desk. They all turned and looked at L.J. Gibbs when he stormed in. "Ah Gibbs how nice of you to join us, I was just filling your team in on an ongoing assignment in France." Director Vance said calmly.
"What does that have to do with my team?" Gibbs said not very angry anymore.
"You and your team are going to go to France and see if you can catch a man by the name of Nepol Redon. He is a potential threat to the U.S.A. we believe he is planning an attack that could be worse than nine eleven. His location is Paris we aren't exactly sure where yet, but we should find that out within the next week. Your job is to look around Paris for any sign of him or his followers." said Vance.
Ziva: "How will we know what his followers look like?"
Vance: "They all wear a red bracelet with an orange eye on it upon their left wrists. When you see them you will only observe what they do and who they interact with. You will investigate their crimes. You will know these people just like you would know your own twin."
Tony: "How will we know which ones are their crimes?"
Vance: "In all their crimes they take a souvenir…an eye. Anymore questions?"
…Silence…
Vance: "Very good, go home and pack. Your flight leaves tomorrow morning at five out of Dulles don't be late."
