My children! I'm back!
So soon? You ask... SO SOON!!! YAY!!!

Ok, so this is my new story. It's the sequel to Trusting The Enemy.
You will see our favourite characters along with some new additions.
And just so you know, this story is more about action and field work than investigation so I hope you like it as much as the first one, considering it is a crossover with NCIS: Los Angeles (which I also love!)

Disclaimers: I don't own anything from NCIS (too bad, I know) CBS, Donald P. Bellisario and Shane Brennan own all that.
I own Liz Hadley, Kirsty Randall, Mustafa Katani, Agent Beaufort and the rest of the new characters you'll be meeting very soon.

So, without any further ado... I give you Alliance & Betrayal

Enjoy!!!

PROLOGUE

"فرانسیسی ایجنٹ لانے مجھے (Bring the French agent to me)" Commander Mustafa Katani instructed to one of his soldiers

His soldier saluted him and rushed out of the dark, filthy dungeon-like room. The elegant auburn wood Louis XV desk, 2 matching chairs, an armoire of the same period and a red Persian carpet contrasted with the room.

The commander leaned back on his leather chair and waited for his prisoner to be brought.

Less than a minute later, 2 soldiers walked into the 'office' dragging the body of a man who seemed to be unconscious, if not worse. The soldiers threw him onto the carpet in front of the desk and marched back to the door, flanking it.

"Bonne journée, Monsieur Beufort. Mes hommes me dire que vous commencez à ... coopérer. Je suis heureux d'entendre tant (Good day, Monsieur Beufort. My men tell me you are starting to... cooperate. I'm glad to hear so)" Commander Katari said smiling as he stood up and approached to the wounded man. He bent down and pulled the man by the hair "Dites-moi tout ce que vous savez sur Alliance Base si vous ne voulez pas me faire du mal à vos amis américains (Tell me everything you know about Alliance Base if you don't want me to hurt your American friends)"

"Tout ce que je vais vous dire, c'est que votre temps est compté, Katani (All I'll say to you is that your time is running out, Katani)" Beaufort replied daringly

Commander Katani raised his free hand and back-handed Beaufort across the face. He then straightened up and looked down at the pitiful man in front of him. Beaufort was lying face down on the floor; his body had been beaten up harshly several times, blood was draining off from his nose, lower lip and from a severe cut on his scalp, right next to his ear.

"Avez-vous peur, commandant Katani? (Are you afraid, commander Katani?)" Beaufort laughed with great effort and noticed how Katani's expression changed. He didn't look arrogant anymore "Vous serez mort avant que vous pouvez même faire vos prières (You'll be dead before you can even say your prayers)"

Before Beaufort could say anything else, commander Katani pulled out his gun, pointed it at the Frenchman's head and pulled the trigger, making him believe he would actually kill him and then pointed the gun at the ceiling, shooting at it

"Je me fatigue de vos jeux, agent Beaufort (I'm getting tired of your games, agent Beaufort)" Katani added and received another daring glare from the agent "لانے اور لے کر مجھے دیگر! (Take him away and bring me the others!)" He commanded and after his men had taken Beaufort away from the office, they dragged in 2 other persons.

They were put in front of the desk; one was a man and the other a woman. The woman was in the same conditions as Beaufort; bloody, beaten up, on the verge of losing all consciousness while the man looked better and had hardly been hurt.

"Welcome back, agent DiNozzo…" Katani greeted and Tony looked up from the floor "I hope your stay here is of your liking"

"To be honest, the hospitality of your household is quite lacking" Tony joked, even in the darkest hour

"I am afraid I cannot provide you with better lodging, you know… diplomacy is not one of my best traits"

"I would not have guessed that" Tony replied half smiling

"I was just talking to Monsieur Beaufort… he wouldn't tell me anything about Alliance Base and their involvement in our conflict… but I am sure you will" Katani said without losing his smile

"And how can you be so sure?" Tony asked also smiling

"Because if you refuse to cooperate…" As he said this, Katani approached to the woman kneeling next to Tony, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and she winced in pain as he lifted her face "I will kill agent Hadley…"

Well, well, well... interesting beginning, huh?

Anyways... the new language is Urdu, the official language in Kashmir, at the north of India. You'll be seeing more of it in the future.

Don't forget that the storyline and the situations and characters are all made up. None of this is actually happening in Kashmir. This is just the written proof of how crazy my mind is.

I do try, however, to be as accurate as possible when it comes to facts, places, languages and a few data but apart from that, it's just a bunch of bananaramas I've made up. I'm saying this to state that nothing of what I've written so far expresses my opinion on the topics touched in these stories.

Now, that been said, I hope you enjoyed this prologue and please, stay tunned to see what's in store for Tony, Liz and the rest of NCIS' gang!

Thank you for reading and remember:

Koo Koo Kah Choo! xoxo
