Chapter 10:

When Steven Saunders and his 3 man team stepped off of the Dassault Falcon 7X He said, "Alright remember our job is to kill Jack Gibbs and his girlfriend Eleanor Bishop. Now I know you all know what Jack Gibbs looks like I hope you three studied the photos and profile of Special Agent Eleanor Bishop."

His 21C David Emerson; who just happened to hold the same position when they were in the SAS asked, "What's our timetable here?"

Saunders as they all stowed there gear and climbed into the rented black Ford Expedition, "We have no definite timetable. I was just told they were not to make it back to DC."

Vladimir Bierko; formerly with Vympel asked, "What's the plan?"

Saunders was about to reply when Nikolai Bereznikov said, "I say we kidnap the capitalist whore and have Jack Gibbs surrender himself to us and when he shows up we kill them both."

Saunders eyed the Russian in the rearview mirror and said as they pulled into traffic, "Remind me to thank Anatoly for loaning you two to us."

The big Russian gave a hearty laugh as he said, "I wanted o help you kill the American. I want to make his father the infamous Leroy Jethro Gibbs suffer."

Saunders was intrigued as he asked why. Bereznikov told him his reason. (See Chapter 2) When he was done Sanders said, "Aw I see. Well rest assured my friend we will all have our vengeance."

Dudayev was angrily pacing around in a circle when Vassily Komulakov and Lenoid Treschenko walked up leading aa slightly built girl with long black hair and cold emotionless blue eyes. Dudayev asked, "Who is this?"

Treschenko; former VDV operator replied, "Meet Mandy

Dudayev gave her a blank look for several minutes then his face lit up in recognition as he said, "I remember you. You were the that tried twice rather unsuccessfully I might add to kill President Allison Palmer after she took office in 2013. And I believe it was Jack Gibbs that foiled both plots am I correct

Mandy sneered as she pulled the neck of her black long sleeve t-shirt down just enough for him to see the 4 bullet scars, "Yea he did; thought he killed me the last time. But he was wrong. Now I'm back for my revenge. You wouldn't happen to know where he is would you?"

Dudayev replied, "He is in New Orleans."

After a few minutes he spoke again, "Our friend in San Francisco sent a four man team to take out Gibbs and his girlfriend but just to make sure they are successful I want you three to go down to the Crescent City and lend them a hand."

The three mercenaries nodded as they went to prepare for their trip.

Bishop was watching as Pride and LaSalle were questioning the bartender; a Gary Ford. She had a sneaking suspicion that he was hiding something and she was about to go in there and confront him when she felt someone watching her. She turned around and saw that FBI SSA Tammy Gregorio watching her intently. She asked with a raised brow, "Is there something I can help you with Special Agent Gregorio?"

Gregorio replied as she handed her a cup of coffee, "Yea; Isler wants to see you."

Pride asked as he and LaSalle stepped back into the main room, "Why?"

She replied, "He would like to know why two NCIS agents from DC are down here interfering in his case."

Bishop said, "First off Jack's not NCIS he's DIA and second we're under orders by the President. Does that clear it up for you."

Both Pride and LaSalle were highly impressed. This was not the same agent they had met two and a half years ago. It appeared her time with Jack had hardened her and made her a tough no-nonsense agent. Gregorio was stunned into speechlessness for several minutes then after several minutes she said, "I'll let Isler know that."

And with that she left.

When Percy and Jack entered Hamilton's outer office Jack made a beeline for the Mayor's inner office, He paid no attention as Hamilton's secretary tried to get him to sop. Percy said, Federal Agents ma'am don't interfere or I'll arrest you."

The secretary however paid her no heed and followed him into the office. Percy shouldered her way past the exasperated woman as she said, "I'm sorry Mr. Mayor I told them you didn't want to be disturbed but they wouldn't listen. Would you like me to call security?"

Hamilton replied, "No Lucy it's alright."

Jack gently guided Lucy back into the office and shut the door. As soon as the door was shut Jack turned back around; his face an emotionless stone mask as Percy asked, Have you seen Javier Garcia recently?"

Hamilton jumped to his feet and bellowed, "WHAT IS THIS? PRIDE IS DETERIMINED-"

Jack grabbed his shoulder in a viselike grip and roughly shoved him back into his chair as Percy repeated her question. Hamilton screamed, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Jack replied as he pulled a surgical bag out of his jacket pocket, "Does it look like we care?"

Hamilton said, "You better care. I am the Mayor of New Orleans."

Jack gave him an evil grin as he asked as he held up a syringe and a botte filled with clear liquid, "Happy for you. Do you know what this is?"

Hamilton stared fearfully at Jack as he shook his head. Jack replied in a deadly hiss as Percy began to hook him to a heart monitor and took his vitals," It's called Hyocine-pentothal. It's neural inflammatory", causing a "feeling as though every nerve ending in your body is on fire."

Jack filled the syringe and injected four cc's into Hamilton's arm. He surmised that seven CC's would cause indescribable pain, while eight cc's ran the risk of inducing a lethal heart attack. As Hamilton screamed in agony as Jack bellowed, "IF YOU EWANT THIS TO STOP ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE US THE LOCATION OF JAVIER GARCIA."

When refused to answer Jack injected another CC into his arm. As soon as the pain inducing drug hit his bloodstream his back arched and he let out a bloodcurdling scream. Percy was more than slightly disturbed by what she was witnessing but knew that you never let on that you felt bad for the person you were interrogating. She said, "All you have to do is tell us where Garcia is and all the pain stops. You have my word."

Hamilton was soaked in sweat as he croaked, "Y...y...you...will...never...get...AAAHHHHHH."

Jack glared at him as he injected another CC into him. He knew he could only go one more but he knew from having conducted thousands of this type of interrogations that once the dosage reached seven CC's he would break. But honestly after everything Pride had told him he thought Hamilton would break well before seven CC's. Hamilton must be utterly terrified of the Cartel. He asked in a gentle voice, "Tell me Douglass would you like to be free and clear of the Cartel?"

Hamilton nodded as Jack continued in the same tone, "Then just give us the location and we'll take care of them for you."

Hamilton said, I...c...c...can't."

Jack heaved a weary sigh as he brought the dosage to seven CC's. Hamilton seized up momentarily then started to scream. Jack said, "Come on just give us a location. And this will be over and we'll be gone. I swear."

Hamilton gasped, "T...t...they're...in... a...a...w...w...warehouse...in...the...French...Quarter...now...p...please...make...it... stop."

Jack nodded as he injected him with an antidote then immediately pulled out another syringe filled with Scopolamine and plunged it into Hamilton's arm and his eyes started to droop and soon enough he was fast asleep. He and Percy hurriedly packed everything away and quickly left. Thankfully Lucy had left. As they walked toward the parking lot Percy asked, "What if he goes to the press?"

Jack grinned as he said, "He'll wake up in the morning with no memory what happened."

At her questioning look he said, "I gave him a dose of Scopolamine."

Percy nodded as she asked, "What was that stuff you injected him with? I thought he was going to have a heart attack?"

Jack told as they stepped outside. They were just about to get in the car when the air came alive with automatic weapons fire.

Thanks to Cole Ortiz for the idea on the interrogation and a few other ideas. Which team got to them first?
