"..Andrews.. Discharged from the United States Navy on October 31, 2006.. For Fraudulent Enlistment.. " Tony DiNozzo informed Gibbs.. "Died in a house fire in Barry Texas, March 15, 2010.." DiNozzo changed the screen, "His Girlfriend at the time Former Marine Corporal Julie Stone, also died in the fire.. "

"Were getting the bodies exhumed," McGee adds in..

"We pulled the service Jackets," Bishop takes a deep breath. "Chief Issacs was Seaman Andrews LPO when he was discharged.." She motions for the next photo," Mrs. Lochez was then LN1 Rogers.."

"The commands legalman.. Handled his discharge," Gibbs was looking at the photo..

Bishop changes the Photo, " FC1 Downers. Was not at his last command. It was Great lakes.. He was staff.."

"Boss," DiNozzo interrupts.. "Stone's husband was a suspect till he had an Alibi.. Sargent Daxon Stone, also retired.. The Fire Marshall ruled it arson.."

"Bring him in.. Find out what the Hell is going on here," Gibbs growled..

"Boss.. Stone is in Sanger Texas," McGee adds.

Agent Fornell walks into the bullpen, "We already have him Gibbs."

Vance walks out over the Bullpen," Gibbs.. MTAC.." Seeing Fornell,"Agent Fornell.. Out of respect to the FBI.. Join us.. Your boss is on the line as well.."

"..at the White House," Henrietta points to the Screen..

"From two point three miles away," Sam shakes his head.. "Its a world record.. It went through the.."

"Straight through.. Like a hot knife through butter," Jones looked at the people in the room.. "The bullet is unlike anything the NSA has seen before.. The Retired Rear Admiral Malus was dead before he hit the ground."

"He has become priority number one," Kort looks at the photo on the screen..

"Is there a reason he is here," Deeks ask.. "I thought this was an exclusive club.."

"Mr. Kort has been loaned to us for the duration of the case," Lange kindly tells her team. "We have been asked to help conduct interviews.. Mr. Kort.. "

"Mrs. Lange," Kort takes a deep breath.. "Mr. Morrow gave direct and concise orders. The truth is he just Crossed our radar.."

Callen looks at the screen, "He is assumed to be alive.."

"The child gave Mrs. Sciuto a drawing of a man in a mask," Kensi Blye brings up the screen.. "He told her his name was Marty Stu.."

"A writers reference," Nate Getz looks at the screen. He walks over and looks at it sideway.. "Seaman Nicodemus Andrews.. We are going to need a lot more information.. If he stayed under the radar.."

"We have a list of his .." Callen is interrupted..

"Hello Mrs. Lange," Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden had his hat under his arm. He eyed Kort, "I see the bottom of the barrel is being scraped.."

"I thought you went to greener pasture," Kort Responds..

Ignoring Kort, "Senior Chief.."

Sam Hanna nods to the Admiral," Rear Admiral.. The spook had a good point.. I thought you went out to pasture.."

"I was," Chegwidden shook his head. "It is why I am in uniform. I am the Temporary JAG liaison to the facility.. Malus was a good man with a family.."

To other SEALs entered the room in dress uniform, "Rear Admiral.. "

"These two have information you will need," Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden responded. "Apparently they know the kid on the screen.."

"F$%^ers had it coming, "The command Sargent Major shook his head.. "Your telling me Andrews is alive Gunny.."

"Command Sargent Major Wilson," Gibbs narrowed his eyes.. "What do you mean they had it coming?"

"They F$%^ed him over Gibbs.. His command played dirty, real dirty.. He may not have been a good sailor by there book.. Damn it, I should have forced the damn transfer.. In a way this is my God D#$% fault. Would have made a helluve a marine," Wilson shook his head.. "Gunny, your gonna get two stories on him.. The PC morons and his buddies.. Go with his Buddies Gunny.."

"Why did you like him," Gibbs was curious..

"Gunny.. I made a side comment half drunk that we were screwed on basic supplies because of a damn OSHA inspection a no nuts officer screwed us on." The Command Sargent Major shook his head, " That beautiful bastard rerouted a few deliveries our way from people that pissed him off.. I could count on him more then some of my marines at MIRAMAR , Gunny.."

"Command Sargent Major, he killed a retired Rear Admiral as he was shaking hands with the President," Gibbs was not sounding happy..

"Gunny I am trying to get it through your thick skull.. He never asked me for crap in return. You want to find him, well you need to know this.. He didnt try and kill the President, "Wilson shook his head. "He has his own rules of life and war Gunny.. We argued over beers about how F$%^ed up the Navy and Marine Corps were.."

Gibbs has an unhappy look on his face, "His own rules of war.."

"Legitimate targets Gunny.. He believes in only killing or harming the exact target.." Wilson takes a deep breath, "Even if someone else gets in the way. You might want to tell the Local LEO's not to try and get him.."

"Command Sargent Major are you telling me he will kill them," Gibbs ask?

"If they corner him.. " The command Sargent Major coldly answers, "Gunny.. Most of the victims your looking for are probably already dead or dying.. Andrews has a bad habit of playing cat and mouse, but if he got smart..He will have already executed his plan..And he will have one, Gunny."

"Command Sargent Major," Gibbs looked at the big Screen. "thank you.."

"No problem.. Damn shame,"Wilson shakes his head. "Gunny.. I will let you know this.. He joined the wrong branch.. Keep that in mind.. Spiritually he is on of us.."

The man in the wheel chair laughed, "He finally snapped.."

"Mr. Westers," Callen was not to happy in his tone. "Chief Issacs is probably not gonna make it.."

"That leaves Rogers, Sheppard, Post, Downer, Malus, " Westers was interrupted..

"Post," Hanna ask?

"You former military," Westers ask.. "Two bad commands.."

"SEAL, " Sam Hanna responds. "Senior chief, Your name came up as a friend.. How well did you know Andrews?"

Laughing again, "Senior.. Your way behind the curve.. See this wheel chair an incompetent Sailor put me in here by turning back on a system I red tagged.." Westers responds, "Then my officers in the command I was transferred to, after the fall from the electrical shock broke my back, screwed me.. My wife left.. I almost lost everything.. Andrews sent me money to eat on so I would not starve..Mind you I had not talk to him in over two years.. Where were you then Senior.. No, if you want crap from me.. I want my attorney.."

"We can arrest you," Callen tried to say..

"Go ahead.. You will have to do better then that, "Westers shakes his head. "F$%^ing Admiral's Gestapo.."

"Same story, "Bishop shakes her head. "His friends are loyal.. The records gave Andrews low pros and cons..Low Pt scores.. The Picture does not add up.."

"I was review his records," McGee responds.. "He had waivers for all his issues.. He requested Captains Mast four times.. It was ignored.. "

Gibbs came into the Bullpen, "They buried it. " Gibbs takes a deep breath, "Get me the list of people who where in that command.."

"Already done," Bishop looks at the screen..

"Thank you very much, "DiNozzo was grinning.. "I will buy the Pizza.. You bring the beer.." He hung up the phone, "the old DiNozzo charm came through.."

"Spit it out Dinozzo," Gibbs growled..

"that was Senator Hutchinson's former aide.." DiNozzo walks over to the Screen.. He puts the file, "See that last name.."

Gibbs read the file and took a deep breath, "I'll be damned.. Vice Admiral Carter was his CO at the time.."

"It gets better," DiNozzo moves over to the next file, as the group in the bullpen reads it..

Vance is listening over the edge, "Now a Vice Admiral.."

"You see this," Gibbs shakes his head..

Autopsy

Washington Naval Yard

"Gunnery Sargent Wilder," Ducky closes the body.. "What did you do to deserve this?"

Fornell and Gibbs enter the room, "You wanted to see us.."

"Jethro.." Doctor Mallard looked at Fornell, "It appears our Gunnery Sargent was killed with a combat knife.. An old World War Two army issued to be exact.."

" Mrs. Stone's grandfather was a WW2 vet, "Fornell shook his head..

"It appears we know the weapon.. But what I find interesting it the incident report.. " Ducky shook his head, "He died in the middle of a Mission.. A fire fight in Afghanistan.."

"His throat was slit," Fornell saw the cut.

Ducky hands Gibbs an evidence bag, "It appears Mr. Andrews is a man of many talents.."

Gibbs takes the bag and reads the rubbed off blood, "Julie Stone's dog tags.."

"Your telling me that Mr. Andrews went into the middle of a war zone and killed a Marine Corps gunnery Sargent in the middle of an engagement with the Taliban," Fornell was not believing it.

"And he took the time to let us know it was him.. Gibbs he is not hiding from us.. He wants us to know he is doing this.." Ducky took a deep breath, "On this one your going to have to talk with Abigail and DiNozzo, especially on this.."

Palmer sees the craved letters and laughs.. "Worfed.."

Fornell and Gibbs look very coldly at Palmer..

"Enlighten us," Ducky looks at Palmer..

"Whats so funny Mr. Palmer," Fornell asked..

"You dont know.." Palmer ask..

"Palmer," Gibbs growls..

"A TV trope.. I heard the Little girl in Abby's lab say the man told her he was Marty Stu.." Palmer looks as the three older men look at him, "Its a message.. Worf always gets beat up to prove how bad the new character is.. "
