Gibbs sat at his desk, and lifted his head up when he heard the familiar sound of the elevator. The doors opened and two men stepped out and headed towards his desk. As they approached he noted their attire, black Armani suits and the familiar earpiece coming out of their collars.

"Special Agent Jethro Gibbs"

"Yeah whose asking?"

"Agent Baker and Woods, secret service and FBI respectively"

Gibbs suppressed a faint chuckle

"What FBI and Secret service on the same case…you've got to be joking"

"Sir if you don't mind we have been instructed to escort you into Director Shepard's office"

"Why the hell would I need an escort upstairs"

"Sir, please we have been told its very urgent"

Gibbs suddenly very curious stepped out from behind his desk and followed the two agents.

When he reached the office a third unfamiliar agent nodded towards him and opened the door. Gibbs entered the room to find the Director, with Agent Fornell and the head of the presidential detail Agent Baer. Gibbs had met agent Baer the same day Caitlin Todd had come into his life. Air Force one amid tragedy and danger Agent Caitlin Todd of the secrete service impressed and amused Gibbs, something he would never admit.

"What the hell is going on Jen? You know I am in the middle of the Henderson case"

"I don't know Jethro, we've all been completely left out of the loop on this one"

"Fornell you telling me you don't know whats going on"

"Gunny, I got no idea I just come where they tell me to come."

Gibbs scanned agent Baer's face; the last time the two men had met was briefly crossing paths at Kate's funeral service. The cemetery had been full of family, friends, miliary, CIA, FBI, secret service and NCIS personnel, a day which Gibbs would remember forever despite his strongest desire to forget. Gibbs knew that Agent Baer blamed him for Kate's death. She was like daughter to him, and he was always so proud of the progress she had made at her two years at NCIS. He knew she would make a hell of an agent one day. Gibbs tore holes in Baer's head almost challenging him to speak. Gibbs was about to say something when three men heavily armed entered the room and motioned for the four agents to be seated.

"We'd like to thankyou for you co operation thus far, we understand you all have busy schedules"

"Care to explain what this is about"

"Agent Gibbs I will handle this…What the hell is this about"

"Director, I can assure you we have very good reason for bringing you here and shortly you will understand why….I'm assume you are all aware of the name Haswari, Ari Haswari."

Jen could feel Gibbs tense up and she turned at looked at him anger the only mask warn by her subordinate.

"What about that damn terrorist"

"We have reason to believe that he is here in the United States"

"You guys have your Intel all screwed up he killed on of my Agents before a member of my team blew his brain out"

Gibbs started the sentence calmly but by the time he was done he was screaming, out of anger, out of madness and even out of confusion.

"Agent Gibbs we understand you believe Ari is dead, however contrary to convectional belief he is very much alive, he was placed in witness protection and his death was forged by US marshals"

"I saw him die"

"No agent Gibbs, you saw him fall into a coma."

Fornell, starting to lose his patience with the three unidentified men asked

"Ok if Ari is alive, and Jethro I'm not saying he is! What does he want? Why doesn't he just stay in Israel or where ever the hell he was placed. He has got to know that once Agent Gibbs finds out his alive his a dead man…dead terrorist I should say"

The three agents shared glances and the one in the middle cleared his throat

"We have it on good accord that Ari is in the United States and targeting a former NCIS and Secret Service Agent, who was forced into witness protection, because of the actions of Haswari"

Agent Gibbs tunred to Baer and gave him a questioning look. The only agent from memory that had worked at both agencies was Kate, and her being alive wasn't possible.

"Agent Gibbs"

Gibbs tunred his attention towards the men

"We believe Ari is targeting a former female NCIS agent that went into protective custody on the 24th of May 2005, her name Special Agent Caitlin Todd"
