A man watched through the window as the young doctor click away at her computer and her bodyguard leaned against the wall watching her, completely unaware of his presence. He would have to make this quick, kill the guards and grab the pretty doc well he still had the element of surprise. The man motioned to his partner it was time to move.
The MPs at the door were easy marks, were dead before they even noticed the masked men. The men disabled the alarm and lock on the door before they entered quietly. The guards inside were FBI and only slightly harder to take down, they only got off a few shots before they died but they had not managed to warn their counterpart inside the lab. The men were thankful the lab was soundproofed.
The alarm for the lab was trickier then the one on the outer door but they had it disabled in a matter of minutes. They flung the door open, expecting this part to be easy. They were wrong. The guard drew his gun in the blink of an eye and shot the second man dead. The doctor, for her part, didn't scream as she dove under the table she only gasped.
The first man shot the guard in the chest twice before getting hit in the leg. He fired off one more round into the guard's chest and watched as he sunk to the floor in a puddle of his own blood. The man made to move for the doctor but stopped short when he heard sirens, the bitch must have his some sort of secondary alarm. Dragging her to his van in time with his injured leg would be impossible, her boyfriend was an ex-Marine and a notorious hard-ass after all he must have taught her something. With a growl of frustration the man left.
Across Town at NCIS HQ
Gibbs answered his cell phone on the third ring. "Jethro," Fornell sounded strange on the other end. "It's Alice." Gibbs heart almost stopped. He could imagine life without the girl after 16 years of close friendship. "She's alright, mostly just shaken up."
"What happened?" His voice sounded slightly strained. DiNozzo's head shot up across the bullpen, he knew something was wrong, but Gibbs ignored him as he stood and grabbed his sidearm and badge form his desk draw.
"Someone broke into the lab and shot up the place. All but one of the guards are dead, the ones in critical condition. Alice got grazed on the arm by a ricochet." Fornell answered.
"We're going joint on this, Tobias." Gibbs said firmly, which got McGee's and Bishop's attentions.
"Gibbs, you know you can't, her boss will throw a fit." Fornell warned.
"I won't. DiNozzo will." Gibbs growled into the phone before snapping it closed.
"Boss?" DiNozzo questioned tentatively.
"Med lab got shot up, you're on lead with Fornell." Gibbs answered moving around his desk.
"Williams's?" DiNozzo asked as he grabbed his bag, Bishop and McGee doing the same.
"Yeah." Gibbs said heading to the elevator.
