Tony was anxious that the plans wouldn't work that they wouldn't be able to get a cover story for so many people but Gibbs had it covered. Tony read over the details one more time. The group would spend the next day visiting the sights and taking multiple pictures in different outfits. That way they could post pictures on their social media accounts showing that they were still in Paris France. They would fly out on a private play that Tony's father had used his old connections to get. The group would fly into an airstrip just south of Damascus and then be driven by their contact (ducky's great nephew Edmond) to the refugee camp he was a doctor at the Daraa camp an hour and a half drive. The camp is located 18 minutes south of Tell Shihab. They will bring supplies with them and are going as a team of representatives from the cooper foundation to see if there is anything else, they can do to help. At the end of one week they would fly to England with 12 Syrian refugees the cooper foundation would be sponsoring all the paperwork had been set. On the final night of their stay Gibbs, McGee, and Elle would travel to the prison and with the help of two former navy seals they would brake in and rescue Ziva. They would then meet everyone at the airfield and if everything went right Tony and Tali would meet them at the airport in London. Tony knew so much could go wrong but he was hopeful that he would have his whole family back together soon.
The group led by tony visited all the famous landmarks thought Paris the next day. Elle really enjoyed the Louvre, McGee enjoyed the view from the top of the Eiffel tower and both Abby and Ducky liked the catacombs. Gibbs stayed back at the house with Tony's father and Tali. He had to many memories of Paris himself to go out and enjoy the town. They all met back at Tony's place that evening where Gibbs grilled steaks and Abby made salad. They didn't stay up late because they knew they needed to be up early for their flight.
The flight though comfy was a 5-hr. flight filled mostly with silence. They all knew they were going into danger and into a war zone but they were ready. When they arrived at the Airport a tall nerdy looking man with a British accent came over to greet them. He hugged Ducky first then laid a quick kiss to Abby then turned to the rest of the group "Hello, I'm Edmond Bowsers. I am Donald's nephew and Abby's ……." he stopped at the look on Abby's face.
"I'm Leroy Jethro Gibbs, but you may call me Gibbs. These are two of my agents Timothy McGee and Ellie Bishop. I want to thank you for helping us with this. "
"I will do anything for family. Please come this way, I brought our transport bus so that we could fit your team and the supplies. "
Once they were seated in the bus three separate conversations started. Elle and McGee who had sat near the back discussed a strategy for helping out during the week. Edmond and Ducky discussed Nicholas was doing in his retirement home and if it would be a good idea for Edmonds mother Lucila to take a trip to America to visit her father. The third conversation was going on in seats half way down the isle between Gibbs and Abby.
"Alright Abb's, what's going on between you and ducky's nephew? "
Abby looked down and then back up at Gibbs and shyly smiled " I promise I was going to call and tell you its just with everything going on it kind of slipped my mind. Then last night Edmond called and I knew I had to tell you because well you're an important part of the …"
"Abby Sciuto spit it out" Gibbs snapped
"Edmond and I are engaged we were planning to fly to America when he got done his 3-month stint in Syria but when we heard you were coming, we upped the plans to help you guys slip out on the last night. All the legal paperwork's been signed and Ducky is going to officiate as that's always been the plan. I just have one loose end to tie up and that's you."
"What about me Abb's"
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs you have been more of a father to me than anyone and I would like to ask you to walk me down the aisle . "
Gibbs sat back and took a few steading breaths before responding "Abby it would be my Honor"
