Special Agent in Charge Leroy Jethro Gibbs knocked on the door, as he stuck his head in the office, "You wanted to see me, Director?"
Looking up from his desk, Leon Vance nodded his entrance, "Come on in, Gibbs. Have a seat."
Letting the door close behind him, the Agent did as instructed as the Director joined him at the conference table that took up half the room. Vance slid a folder across the table which Gibbs caught.
"The information you're about to see is classified, Gibbs. It's also extremely sensitive."
Acknowledging the cautionary statement, Jethro picked up the file and quietly read the contents. Vance waited for the expected reaction.
"What do you need from me?" Gibbs asked quietly.
"The Sec-Nav wants the best man leading this operation. He and I both agreed that's you." Gibbs' face showed no reaction to the compliment as Leon continued, "This is volunteer and your team will be the same."
"Who are my team?" Gibbs questioned carefully.
"Whomever you want. You have carte blanche. This is priority, Jethro, so all resources will be at your disposal."
Gibbs nodded, "And if what I wanted was outside NCIS?"
Vance was surprised but quickly answered, "You tell me who or what and if I can't make it happen, the Secretary of the Navy will."
"Then here's what I want." Was Gibbs' reply.
